Chapter 212 - Two Awards In One Day Plus Surprises
As other entertainment activities were going on, the Judges were compiling the results.
Jia Li was watching a famous girl group perform on stage with her train thoughts of thoughts occasionally shifting to the outcome of the results.
Before she was not bothered about this kind of thing, but since she was amongst the Top 5, she couldn't stop herself from being bothered about the final results.
After the performance from the girl group, it was time to announce the final results.
Without wasting much time, the vice-chancellor called out the winner's name.
"The best student of 20XX set of The Prestigious school of ********* goes to Miss Qin Jia Li"
This was an earth-shattering announcement. There were loud cheers and applauds from everyone in the room including the vice-chancellor.
Jia Li couldn't believe her ears 👂 did the Vice-Chancellor just mention her name as the student of the year?
The students that were sitting beside Jia Li congratulated Jia Li with happy smiles on their faces.
"Please Quieten down." The Vice-Chancellor said to them, as she still had another announcement to make.
When everyone was calm, she made another announcement that shocked them.
"The winner for the dressmaking project goes to, Miss Qin Jia Li."
There were applaud and cheers from everyone, as they were not surprised like the first time, as most of them thought that Jia Li truly deserved that ward.
'What's going on here?' Jia Li thought. Things have taken an unexpected turn. She couldn't believe that she got 2 awards 🏆 in one day.
Without waiting for anyone to calm down, the Vice-Chancellor continued...
"With a clapping ovation, let's welcome Miss Qin to the stage to give us a short speech."
Not just a clapping ovation, a standing ovation was given to Jia Li as she made her way to the stage to receive her awards.
She took pictures with the Vice-Chancellor and the panel of judges, and a certificate of honors was given to her.
After taking the pictures with them, It was time for Jia Li to give her speech, so her teacher came and took the awards from her.
When Jia Li came to stand at the podium, she felt a light reflection and she instinctively covered her eyes. And when she felt the light disappear, she glanced into the crowd.
Jia Li could feel someone had her eyes on her, and the gaze was so strong, but not filled with malice.
At last, she managed to catch a glimpse of someone in the crowd, he had a nose mask on, and she felt he was familiar, but didn't know who he was.
Jia Li started her speech with a vote of thanks.
"Thank you, Vice-Chancellor for giving me this opportunity. I am very happy..." Jia Li went on to give her speech. After that, when she was giving another vote of thanks, she thanked her teachers and the people related to her school, then coming down to her family, she said...
"Although my parents are late, I still want to thank them for supporting me when they were alive. I want to thank my new family for supporting me. My old man believed in me the first time he saw my talent, and he sent me to this prestigious institute of learning. I want to thank someone special because he thought me a lot and that knowledge helped me to get my awards today..."
Jia Li's speech was touching, she talked about Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua, and then she thanked her friends.
It was not only Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua that understood her words, but Li Huan also did as well, and jealousy burned in him.
"Do you know the people Jia Li is talking about?." Mrs. Li whispered to Li Huan. She was very curious to know the special people Jia Li talked about.
"Mum, I don't know." Li Huan replied with his gaze on Jia Li.
Jia Li thanked her friends as well, and other people that supported her. Close to the end of her speech, she saw the man with a mask in the crowd, removed the mask.
She was shocked to see that Fu Hua had been around the whole time.
Jia Li was distracted when she was Fu Hua. She couldn't believe her eyes. A smirk turned up on Fu Hua's lips, and he immediately fixed the mask back on his face.
Jia Li was so happy that she finished her speech immediately, she also saw Fu Hua send her a flying kiss.
When Jia Li got off the podium, her teacher gave her awards back to her and she returned to her seat with them.
From where she was seating, Jia Li's eyes began to wander through the crowd. She saw Fu Hua again, and her gaze rested on him.
The two gazed at each other without giving out signs again.
'Are there more people here?.' Jia Li thought.
She was thinking that there may be some other people she didn't know who came to see her, so she glanced around again, and she saw her friends waving at her.
She waved back at them. She continued looking around and saw Li Huan and his mother. She was surprised. Li Huan did not tell her that he would be coming with his mother.
Jia Li saw Fu Meixu and lastly, her old man she just talked about.
Jia Li felt emotional seeing the people close to her come to celebrate and cheer her up.
Fu Hua frowned when Jia Li moved her gaze away from him. But when she saw her look like she was about to cry, he became worried.
He only felt better when he saw her emotions return to normal. Deep down in her heart, he was very proud of her.
His little wife has made waves already, it looks like she didn't know.
Right there, Fu Hua sent a text to Sunny, the Chief Designer of FJ Styles. He asked her to get the rights to Jia Li's dress from the school director immediately.
Sunny who was sitting and watching the Vice-Chancellor give a closing speech, heard her phone vibrate, and checked the text she just received from her Boss.
After reading the contents of the text, she smiled and sighed in relief. She had her eyes on both Jia Li and her dress, but she was thinking of telling Fu Hua about it when he sent the text.
'But how does he know about the dress?' Sunny thought with suspicion.. She was guessing that he may be around and sitting somewhere in the auditorium.
