Chapter 417 Dong Shi Imitating Xi Shi
Today is the annual business awards ceremony in Country C.
In Country C, a unique awards ceremony is held every year at this time to showcase the country's outstanding enterprises to the world. It can be seen as a way to attract investment, promote culture, and demonstrate national confidence.
This awards ceremony has always been broadcast live online to the entire internet.
Therefore, it is not just a self-indulgent event for the business community, but a grand event that has attracted attention from all walks of life, both inside and outside the industry.
Such a grand event, like a celebrity awards ceremony, begins with walking the red carpet.
Following that, the main event, the awards ceremony, began in the venue. The winners were usually companies that had made outstanding contributions to Country C, as well as rising stars in Country C's business world.
After the awards ceremony, there is a brief auction to raise funds for charitable donations.
Finally, there was a closed-door business dinner after the live stream ended.
It can be said that this awards ceremony not only represents the company's status in Country C, but also serves as a trendsetter for the future development of the business community in Country C.
Undoubtedly, in previous years, the Lin family had always been the top performer.
However, after Lin Jingcheng passed away, the Lin family was thrown into chaos by Lin Wanrong. Last year, although Lin Wanrong was invited to attend the awards ceremony, she did not receive the annual outstanding enterprise award, the biggest award at the event.
This year, Lin Wanrong didn't have much hope either.
After all, her reputation is now declining due to Sun Qiaoyu's influence.
However, to Lin Wanrong's surprise, the organizer of the awards ceremony—the government of Country C—called her, not only inviting her to attend the ceremony, but also informing her in advance that her Lin Group would be awarded the Best Company of the Year award this year.
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed by the news for a long time, but after calming down and thinking about it, she felt that something was not quite right.
Why did such a prestigious award go to the Lin Group again this year?
Her competitors clearly have a better chance this year.
After all, Jianglu Group has emerged as a dark horse this year and is regarded as a savior by the C country government.
However, just as Lin Wanrong was feeling confused and wanted to call back to find out what was going on, she inadvertently discovered a rumor online that the Lu Group intended to withdraw its investment from Country C.
The root of the problem seems to be an internal power struggle between Lu Junyan and his father, Lu Yexiong, because Lu Yexiong does not want Lu Junyan to remarry Jiang Ning.
Lin Wanrong didn't think this news was just baseless speculation.
She knew how much Lu Yexiong disliked Jiang Ning.
If I didn't like it then, I'm unlikely to like it now.
so……
It was the internal strife between the Lu family father and son that affected the Lu Group's further investment in the Jianglu Group. Once the Lu family's support was gone, the Jianglu Group, relying solely on Jiangning, would be no match for the Lin family.
Lin Wanrong guessed that the reason the government awarded her the Lin Group's Annual Outstanding Enterprise Award was to curry favor with her, so that after the Lu Group withdrew its investment, the government would still have to rely on her Lin Group.
The more Lin Wanrong thought about it, the more convinced she was that she hadn't guessed wrong, and she couldn't help but feel smug.
Parnas International Convention Center.
The guests have already begun walking the red carpet.
As the most important awards ceremony in Country C, this grand event not only invited celebrities from the political and business circles, but also internationally popular stars and singers.
As the legal representative of the company nominated for the best enterprise of the year, Lin Wanrong naturally made a high-profile appearance.
She arrived in the latest Rolls-Royce Phantom.
As soon as I got out of the car, I was blinded by countless flashes of light.
However, Lin Wanrong has always pursued a high profile, especially enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, as if she were the most enviable woman in the world.
Lin Wanrong has put in a lot of effort for tonight's awards ceremony.
She spent a fortune to expedite the customization of a jewelry set inlaid with precious gemstones of red, blue, and green. From hair accessories to earrings to necklaces to bracelets and finally rings, all were multi-layered and clustered, showcasing the ultimate in luxury.
Her evening gown was also custom-made in a rush, by the most famous fashion designer in Country C. It was themed around peacocks, with a long train designed in the style of peacock feathers, and the overall color was a pearly blue-green, just like a peacock spreading its tail.
Lin Wanrong believes that this outfit will definitely make her outshine everyone at the awards ceremony.
The person she most wanted to outshine wasn't a celebrity or singer, but Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning will also be attending tonight's awards ceremony.
Although the C country government seems to have fallen out with Jianglu Group, Jianglu Group has made outstanding contributions to C country this year, so there is no reason not to invite Jianglu Group to such a business event.
Therefore, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan will definitely attend.
Lin Wanrong walked on the red carpet, striking poses.
She had deliberately contacted the organizers beforehand, asking them to arrange for Jiang Ning to walk the red carpet after her, so that the media would compare her with Jiang Ning.
In Lin Wanrong's memory, Jiang Ning always preferred to dress simply and modestly for such occasions.
With Jiang Ning as a foil, her peacock feather battle robe will surely stand out even more, making her unique and distinctive.
As a result, just as Lin Wanrong was signing her name, a gasp suddenly erupted from the media.
"It's Jiangning..."
Wow!
"She's absolutely gorgeous!"
Hearing the praise and amazement from those around her about Jiang Ning, Lin Wanrong scoffed.
Can Jiang Ning be more beautiful than her?
"What is that? A phoenix?"
Upon hearing the word "phoenix," Lin Wanrong's expression changed, and she immediately craned her neck to look at the end of the red carpet.
Jiang Ning walked over with elegant steps.
This time, Jiang Ning deviated from her usual style and wore a very eye-catching dress.
The dress has a very sophisticated and unique cut. The smooth lines and excellent design perfectly showcase Jiang Ning's already perfect figure. The long sleeves, deep V-neck, and A-line train make it look sexy and elegant. The flame-like red has different shades, and the train has an ingenious design that resembles a blazing fire or a graceful phoenix tail.
The mother-of-pearl sequins adorning the silk fabric serve as the finishing touch, refracting a dazzling array of colors under the light.
Unlike Lin Wanrong, Jiang Ning didn't wear a full set of jewelry to emphasize her luxury and nobility.
She let her curly hair fall naturally, wearing only large carat ruby earrings of excellent quality on her ears.
Originally, Lin Wanrong wanted to use Jiang Ning as a comparison point on the red carpet.
Unexpectedly, she has now become the control group, perfectly highlighting Jiang Ning's far superior fashion sense.
In the eyes of the media present, Jiang Ning is a proud daughter of heaven, a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Lin Wanrong, on the other hand, was more like a nouveau riche. Even when she tried to imitate a peacock spreading its wings, it was like a poor imitation.
On various live streaming platforms, netizens' comments also compared Lin Wanrong and Jiang Ning.
