The host continued, "After unanimous agreement among all judges and guests, we will present Jiang Zhe with a special award, which is also the highest award of today's competition."
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, one wave after another.
Clearly, Jiang Zhe's award was well-deserved.
Meng Yirou's fingers tightened around her own trophy, feeling its luster somewhat diminished in the presence of Jiang Zhe's special award.
The CEO of the New Energy Company who had previously shown interest in her was now fixated on Jiang Zhe, his gaze lingering there without shifting.
Meng Yirou, holding her trophy, stood up and left.
After Jiang Zhe stepped down from the stage, many people quickly surrounded her.
She showed a bit of impatience in her eyes and, finding Lou Qiaoyin, said a word to Wan Si before walking out.
Wan Si hadn't managed to invite her to the company and, though regretful, understood that she was accustomed to this, so he didn't insist.
