Novel Full Chapter 158 - Thank My Husband
Chapter 158: Thank My Husband
The employees of Di Chen Group were all in formal dressing, so when the main actor and actress of Nirvana of Phoenix appeared, they were like two bright red flowers among the green shrub. It was difficult not to make heads turn.
The atmosphere in the hall was filled with cheers, as if being ignited by a fire instantly.
The event planner did not suppress the atmosphere on purpose. Many of the employees of Di Chen Group were their fans too. When they saw the two celebrities at the same time, they couldn’t help calling out their names.
“Zheng Feng!”
“Ye Siren!”
The male lead, Zheng Feng, was nearly forty years old but he was very well maintained. He had twice gotten the title of Best Actor in the Golden Drama Award. His popularity could not be underestimated.
Zheng Feng did not have an extremely handsome appearance but he had a style of a mature man. Coupled with his excellent acting skill, not many little girls could resist his charm.
The female lead, Ye Siren, was only twenty-five years old. Compared to Zheng Feng, she had much less experience in the showbiz.
Ye Siren, who was addressed by her fans as ‘Beauty Si’, was indeed young and pretty. The most important was that her acting skill topped the list of young actresses.
This time, Ye Siren was honored to collaborate with Director Li Shan and Best actor, Zheng Feng. Many people in the showbiz circle were optimistic about her bright future.
Su Wan widened her eyes and shifted her gaze from the two people who were shining to Jiang Xuecheng, who was as calm as usual. She smiled.
“It turns out that no matter where celebrities go, there’ll be a group of fans!”
Su Wan was not passionate about the happenings in showbiz, let alone the pursuit of celebrities.
This time around, she saw a few of her colleagues, who were usually serious, were now shouting and calling the names of the actor and actress like little fans. Some were so excited they had tears in their eyes!
This scene surprised Su Wan!
Jiang Xuecheng darted her a glance. “These two had lots of fans. Should you thank me?”
“What should I thank you for?”
Su Wan was taken aback. Then, she realised what Jiang Xuecheng meant. She smiled faintly and replied, “Thank you for doing so much for me.”
To Su Wan, more than half of the credit should be given to Jiang Xuecheng on the success of Beitong’s plan. She had merely refined it.
Furthermore, Jiang Xuecheng had kept having Beitong as the main filming location for Nirvana of Phoenix from her just to give Su Wan more chances to win.
How could she not be moved by such a man who did his best for her?
Su Wan looked down and smiled as two dimples showed on her cheeks. Jiang Xuecheng was undoubtedly good and it was acceptable that she fell so fast in love, wasn’t it?
Just when Su Wan was spacing out, the Beitong celebration banquet started officially. The female emcee wearing an ivory bare back evening gown walked up to the stage with an elegant smile.
Su Wan joined in the applause of the audience and listened carefully to the emcee reading her script.
Although she roughly knew when she would be invited up the stage, she still listened very carefully. If her name were to suddenly be called but she did not hear because she spaced out, then it would be intolerable as many colleagues were present!
After about twenty minutes, the emcee looked at the front seats and the spotlight came shining following her gaze.
Su Wan was slightly taken aback. She had not heard her name being called and she was dazzled by a strong spotlight.
What was this?
Su Wan’s eyes were uncomfortable but she knew it was about time she went on stage. Su Wan nervously wiped off the sweat on her palms and tried hard to recollect her emotions.
True enough, the sound of violin reverberated in the hall as the emcee smilingly and firmly announced Su Wan’s name.
“Next, we shall invite the major contributor to Beitong’s project, our great hero of tonight’s celebration, Ms. Su Wan, to say a few words!”
There was a burst of applause from the audience instantly. Jiang Xuecheng noticed Su Wan’s nervousness. He looked at Su Wan steadily and said in a deep and low voice, “Keep calm.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was not loud but there was strange magic in it. Su Wan’s uneasiness seemed to have been smoothed by a huge hand.
She smiled warmly at Jiang Xuecheng and stood up naturally.
Following the rhythm of the violin, Su Wan walked forward. Although the eyes of countless people were focused on her, the steps she took were smooth and steady. She looked confident.
Normally, Su Wan would stay in the planning department and would not show herself in public. Hence, this was many of Di Chen’s employees’ first time seeing the young master’s wife.
Today, Su Wan was dressed in a black, formal professional suit. Her hair had been secured high up.
Although she was slim, the disposition in her was far from her age. She was much calmer than many experienced working veterans.
It looked like the person whom Jiang Xuecheng had taken a fancy to was not a vase.
Many people’s impression of this beautiful, elegant, smart and capable Ms. Su was enhanced and their good feelings toward her multiplied.
Su Wan went up the stage and took the microphone from the emcee. She nodded and smiled at her and slowly walked toward the podium. She waved lightly at everyone, signally them to be quiet.
As the sound of applause slowly died down, Su Wan recalled Jiang Xuecheng’s encouragement. She took a slight breath and started her speech.
“As an employee of Di Chen Group, I’m honoured to be able to stand on stage today to express my views. This is a great affirmation for my career. Thank you to my colleagues for all the support and help all this while.”
***
Su Wan stated the contents of her script at an appropriate speed. Although the contents were more official, her voice was genuine.
She carefully analyzed the original idea of Beitong’s plan and encouraged everyone to dare to think, to do, and to try. Beitong’s plan was a good example of not following the rules as creativity prevailed.
During her speech, Su Wan looked down at the audience. The genuine smile on her face had infected many people.
Just when Su Wan was about to conclude her speech, her eyes swept across the man sitting in front. When she thought of Jiang Xuecheng staring at her, she bafflingly felt touched in her heart.
Their gazes met and Su Wan deepened her smile uncontrollably.
Suddenly, she added a concluding sentence. “Lastly, I’d like to thank my husband because if it wasn’t for him, I might not be able to get to where I am today.”
Everyone knew who Su Wan meant when she mentioned her husband. Although Jiang Xuecheng was cold, the employees were all well paid. So, his prestige in Di Chen Group was very high.
That moment, there was a thunderous applause from the floor that pushed the atmosphere to the peak!
