Chapter 629 A Gathering of Wise Men (Two Chapters Combined) Zhao Qian is cutting a watermelon.

"Speaking of which, with a clap of bamboo clappers, let's not praise anything else, let's just praise this diamond blade that splits this big watermelon in two!" Zhao Qian hummed.

"Dad, stop singing, I can't hear the host anymore," complained the daughter, who was playing on her tablet on the sofa. "The Best Actress award is about to be presented."

"You brat, you like Ye Chu too?" Zhao Qian asked casually.

“Who likes Ye Chu?” the daughter scoffed. “I think Wang Xiaocen has a better chance of winning.”

"Oh, I almost forgot you like Wang Xiaocen." Zhao Qian carried the watermelon to the sofa and placed it on the coffee table. "Do you want some? If you don't eat the biggest piece, I'll eat it." He grabbed a piece of watermelon and took a big bite.

"...'Half of Heaven,' by Ye Chu!"

"Oh." Zhao Qian chewed on a melon while leaning over to the tablet with great interest. Hmm, the audience is clapping, hmm, Ye Chu is waving, hmm, Ye Chu and Zheng Bohan are hugging, hmm—wait a minute?

Zhao Qian gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of his head and landing on the tablet screen.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough cough!"

Zhao Qian inhaled two watermelon seeds into his throat, and the Taoist priest coughed violently for a long time before the two watermelon seeds finally sprayed out shyly.

"Yay!"

The employees of Qingping Entertainment jumped up and cheered excitedly.

Ji Juntao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

Ye Chu finally has an award that is recognized by the mainstream. And for her personally, this is just a small step.

This is also a small but precious step for Qingping Entertainment.

The company has been extremely busy lately, juggling multiple tasks. Many things haven't been going smoothly. Ye Chu's award has been a much-needed boost for the company.

The neighbors on Xingfu Street surrounded Old Mrs. Hu, teasing her, "Oh my~ Ms. Hu Shuizhi~"

"Go away, go away," Grandma Hu waved her hand and laughed. "Tomorrow is National Day, and the store on the street is opening soon. Why aren't you all preparing? What are you doing here making a fuss?"

"What do you mean by stirring up trouble? Your granddaughter won an award, aren't you going to treat us to a meal?"

"Hey Lao Hu, I still have your calligraphy at home. Do you think it'll become an antique someday?"

-------

The members of "Happiness Street Detective" were filming a variety show when suddenly, Huang Feizhang picked up his phone and said, "Teacher Qi! Ye Chu won an award and even thanked you!"

This episode of "Happiness Street Detective" is set in modern times, telling the story of a hotel murder. Huang Feizhang has been killed again. The way he plays on his phone while wearing an angel halo is quite comical, instantly easing the tension of the show.

Qi Ming was taken aback, then quickly took Huang Feizhang's phone and scrolled through it. Mei Yaohong and Fatty Zhang joined her in watching.

The variety show was being filmed, and Qi Ming couldn't lose his composure. A hint of tears flickered in the old lady's eyes as she slowly handed the phone back to Huang Feizhang, repeatedly saying, "Good, good, good!"

Wu Jianing's eyes darted around, and she suddenly laughed, "Boss Huang, why is it that our phones have no signal, but yours do?"

Huang Feizhang was taken aback, and Fatty Zhang, who played his driver, immediately chimed in: "Of course it's because my boss is using the latest Renxing Ranar 2019 Prism Supreme Flagship Phone!"

The somewhat sentimental atmosphere instantly dissipated, and everyone burst into laughter. Qi Ming laughed so hard he almost tripped over himself: "Xiao Zhang, if the sponsors don't give you money, we'll be the first to object..."

@Tuiqi Video:

[Congratulations to "Tianban" for winning three awards at the Tianji Awards: Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay! "Tianban" is now exclusively streaming on Tuiqi Video. Tune in to Tuiqi Video and watch Xiaotian!]

[#YeChuYoungestTVActress# Congratulations to 23-year-old Ye Chu for winning the Tianji Award for Best Actress! She breaks the 30-year record held by director Lang Qingguan, becoming the youngest ever Tianji Award-winning actress!]

[#YeChuAcceptanceSpeech# Ye Chu thanked three people in her acceptance speech. We all know Qi Ming and Zheng Bohan, but who is Hu Shuizhi?]

[She seems to be the prototype for the character Qi Ming in "The Legend of Happiness Street". Everyone in the show calls her Grandma Hu~]

Why not thank director Xu Hanwen? Director Xu thanked Ye Chu in his acceptance speech at the Xinghan Awards last time.

Poor old Xu, he wasn't among the revelers.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. 'Old River' is Director He's final work. He's seventy years old; he's made films his whole life, and even if he hasn't achieved great success, he's certainly put in a lot of hard work. Xu Hanwen probably knew that he didn't come."

There's no need to pity Lao Xu; he really screwed over Zheng Bohan before.

[Didn't she thank the director earlier? After thanking the entire staff, including the director, she specifically mentioned her teachers.]

[#YeChuAcceptanceSpeech# Ye Chu's acceptance speech was so meaningful! Deeply moving and inspiring. It's been a long time since I've seen such a substantial speech. "She belongs to the world, to all of us. She merely used my body to showcase a glimpse of the brilliance of her life..."]
