Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1392 Best Supporting Actress

After being stunned for a few seconds, the cheers of the surrounding people pulled Wang Mingxiao back from his shock and surprise. He slowly stood up from his seat.

Wang Mingxiao hugged the people around him, went on stage, received the award, and said his acceptance speech. He completed these procedures in a dizzy state. To him, the Star Award was like a pie that had fallen from the sky. To be honest, although he was looking forward to winning the award, he did not have much hope.

That was why he felt like everything was like a dream.

“Congratulations, Mingxiao.”

Wang Mingxiao returned to his seat with the trophy. Jian Yiyi gave her blessings again. Wang Mingxiao felt that the trophy in his hand was heavy. Hearing this, he looked at Jian Yiyi excitedly and said, “I didn’t expect this.”

Not to mention that he didn’t expect it, but Jian Yiyi also didn’t expect Wang Mingxiao to get the award. However, she naturally wouldn’t show it. Instead, she said with certainty, “Don’t belittle yourself. You’re worth it.”

“Thank you.” Wang Mingxiao smiled. With Jian Yiyi’s affirmation, he was calmer.

The next award was for the best supporting actress. At this moment, the commentator’s voice sounded in the venue.

The nominees for the best supporting actress in the sixteenth Star Award are—

Jia Bing, ‘The Three Stooges’

He Jiayi, ‘Sister Hong’

Du Wei, ‘Interweaving Night’

Jian Yiyi, ‘Interweaving Night’

Zalanoa, ‘The Grassy Mountain’

The entire production team of ‘Interweaving Night’ was instantly shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. The second and third female leads were nominated for the supporting role together. It would be a pity if both of them didn’t win the award.

Jian Yiyi felt her back go numb. She was so nervous that her entire body was stiff. Even the air had thinned.

“The sixteenth Star Award for the Best Supporting Actress. The winner is He Jiayi, ‘Sister Hong.’ Congratulations, Sister Jiayi.”

With the announcement of the results, Jian Yiyi’s world instantly became empty. Her mind was blank, and she could only smile and clap instinctively. However, she had already lost the ability to think.

It was not her.

It was not her name.

It was He Jiayi…

She almost touched the trophy, but it flew away.

Xia Qinghuan immediately looked at Jian Yiyi. Seeing that she had not lost her expression management and was still smiling and clapping for the winner, she couldn’t help but admire her.

With her understanding of Jian Yiyi, she naturally knew how much this person valued achievements. It was not every time she would have a chance to be so close to the award.

Moreover, putting aside personal factors, Xia Qinghuan affirmed Jian Yiyi’s performance in ‘Interweaving Night.’ She was not nominated for the Galaxy Award because the Galaxy Award favored mainstream movies. Patriotic and real-world themes had always been popular for the Galaxy Award. As a movie with an excellent reputation, ‘Interweaving Night’ had a mystery theme. In the heavyweight awards, only Xia Qinghuan was nominated for the Best Actress and Chu Lingfeng for the Best Original Script.

However, the Star Award was different. The Star Award was more diverse and inclusive. ‘Interweaving Night’ was directly nominated for twelve awards, and there were two celebrities nominated for the Best Supporting Actress.

Xia Qinghuan was fair to say that Jian Yiyi was qualified to win the Best Supporting Actress Award among the few actresses who had been nominated. Although He Jiayi was experienced, her acting routine as a child star had long become patterned. She felt that she acted the same no matter what. Even if it was not Jian Yiyi, He Jiayi should not have won this award.

At this moment, everyone felt that the Star Award had lost its flavor. However, after thinking about it, everyone had a tacit understanding.

Jian Yiyi was no longer in the mood to watch what happened next because she was already wrapped in sadness and frustration. She pretended to smile and persisted until the end of the awards party.

Yuan Guang also did not win the Best Actor Award, but he was already mentally prepared. Moreover, the winner of the Best Actor Award was the most popular veteran, Teacher Hu Yonghua. He was convinced.

Xia Qinghuan won the Best Actress Award again. She was still short of the Flower Award in the second half of the year to win the three grand awards.

After the awards party, Jian Yiyi rejected the interview segment and returned to the nanny van. As soon as the car door closed, she couldn’t help but cry.

Grievance, unwillingness, anger, and all kinds of complicated emotions swarmed over her. No matter how good she was at pretending, she was still a child. She did not grasp what she cared about, so it was as if she had lost the entire world.

Moreover, she knew in her heart that this thing should have belonged to her.

Outside the car, Xiao Tong and Qiqi were also angry. They also knew that it was unfair to give the trophy that should have been given to Yiyi to He Jiayi.

“Yiyi, open the door. Don’t carry it alone,” Xiao Tong knocked on the window and said.

There was no response, only faint cries.

The two assistants looked at each other helplessly. They had been with Jian Yiyi for almost a year, but they had never seen her cry.

“Brother Jie.”

At this moment, Dong Jie arrived. Seeing this, Qiqi quickly called out, “Yiyi is hiding inside and not coming out. She’s crying.”

Dong Jie nodded and said calmly, “Leave it to me. Go to the hotel first. Qinghuan’s celebration banquet is starting soon. We can’t have no one from Yiyi’s team. It won’t look good.”

“But Yiyi…”

Qiqi was worried and wanted to say something, but Xiao Tong interrupted her. “Brother Jie is here. Let’s go over first.”

When Qiqi heard this, she could only nod.

After the others left, Dong Jie knocked on the car door and said softly, “Yiyi, it’s me. Open the door.”

Jian Yiyi still respected Dong Jie. Dong Jie played a huge role in making her where she was today.

A few seconds later, Jian Yiyi wiped her tears and slowly opened the car door.

Looking at her swollen eyes, Dong Jie sighed helplessly. To prevent anyone from secretly taking photos, Dong Jie said nothing. Instead, he got into the car and closed the door.

“I know you’re unwilling. This award should be yours,” Dong Jie said.

These words made Jian Yiyi cry again. She looked up at him and said with tears in her eyes, “Then why wasn’t it me? Why wasn’t I the one who won the award…”

“Yiyi…” Seeing this, Dong Jie sighed deeply and thought for a moment before saying, “Sometimes, the entertainment circle is not as perfect as you think. Even the most credible award might not be watertight…”

“You’re still young, and there are many things you haven’t experienced and don’t understand. But I’ll tell you the truth. From the moment I saw the shortlist, I had a premonition that you and Du Wei would just be accompanying He Jiayi for the Best Supporting Actress Award!”

“This is my sharp senses as a manager who has been in the entertainment circle for so many years. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that something might happen. Perhaps I was overthinking and was afraid of adding unnecessary pressure to you.”
