Chapter 49 Miss Hong Kong Top Three List
Lu Shengkang was so excited that he spun around a few times. "Great! Great! Great! Commercials! Have the staff remind the four emcees to say a few more words and get more commercial time! Order the operations department to put in more commercials immediately! We have to race against time to get them in! Whether we can get the big red envelope by the end of the year depends on how much advertising we do tonight!"
The secretary smiled and said, "The Operations Department is already working on it. I just came down from the Operations Department, and they are even more excited than I am. At the same time, I heard an advertiser call in, asking to include their advertisement."
"Raise the price! The advertising price needs to be raised!" Lu Shengkang thought about it and was still worried, so he decided to go to the operations department in person to follow up on the matter.
Also, before going to the operations department, I found an office and called the chairman to report the good news.
"Dear audience, all the performances of the annual Miss Hong Kong competition finals have been completed. Please allow the five judges to give the final scores." Chen Jinchu said loudly.
Li Yaoyue continued, "It's the most tense and exciting moment yet. Who will be the top three Miss Hong Kong winners? Please continue to pay attention to the show."
Fang Shigao said, "In addition to the top three Miss Hong Kong winners, the competition will also select Miss Talent and Miss Photogenic. Who do you think is the most talented and most photogenic? Do your judges agree?"
Finally, Zhong Boding said: "Yes, at such a tense moment, everyone must not leave the TV. Don't miss every moment that follows."
Li Yaoyue said loudly: "Please welcome the sixteen beauties——"
The sixteen beauties had changed into evening gowns, with their hair tied up, and walked onto the stage in an elegant and noble manner, standing in a row.
The audience's applause was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.
The five judges have already given their scores. The staff counted the data as quickly as possible, wrote the results on cards, stuffed them into envelopes, and handed them to the four hosts.
Fang Shigao held the envelope and said, "I'm so nervous. I feel like I'm even more nervous than the sixteen beauties holding the envelope."
"Who is tonight's lucky star?" Li Yaoyue took an envelope and said jokingly, "Why don't you let me take a look first..."
"No!" Chen Jinchu snatched the envelope from Li Yaoyue's hand and said, "Even if you want to take a look, I have to take a look first."
Zhong Boding shook the envelope in his hand and said, "This one contains the list of winners for the Miss Talent competition. Why don't you announce mine first?"
"Okay, let's announce Miss Talent first." Chen Jinchu took out a card from his pocket and read, "Please invite Sir Liu Zhenjia, the director of Baogang Television, to present the award to Miss Talent."
Sir Liu Zhenjia, dressed in a suit, walked onto the stage arm in arm with the hostess and waved to the audience.
"Now let's announce Miss Talent. She is—" Zhong Boding read the list, stretching out his voice and pausing to whet the audience's appetite before loudly announcing, "Contestant No. 13, Miss Zhu Wanwen!"
When Zhu Wanwen heard her name, he excitedly pressed his hands to his chest, calmed down for a moment, and then walked down with a smile on his face.
The whole audience began to applaud, and Fang Shigao joined in the applause, saying, "Please ask Sir Liu Zhenjia to present the award to Miss Zhu Wanwen."
The Miss Talent trophy is made of crystal, and the top is shaped like an open book, with exquisite workmanship.
After Sir Liu Zhenjia presented the award to Zhu Wanwen, he walked off the stage under the guidance of a hostess.
"Thank you, Sir." Fang Shigao thanked him and opened the envelope in his hand. "Next up is Miss Photogenic. Councillor Qin Guanhai, please come to the stage and present the award."
Councillor Qin Guanhai, guided by the etiquette lady, came to the stage and nodded to all the audience with a smile on his face.
"Now we're announcing this year's Miss Photogenic. She's—" Fang Shigao unfolded the results in his hand, and several hosts craned their heads to look. "She's Miss Hu Xiaoxiao, contestant number 5—"
There was thunderous applause.
When Hu Xiaoxiao heard her name, the corners of her lips curled up and she revealed a bright smile.
She walked to the center of the stage and received the trophy from Councillor Qin Guanhai.
The trophy is also made of crystal, but the top is a round spherical design.
After receiving the trophy, Hu Xiaoxiao walked over to stand next to Zhu Wanwen.
"Congratulations." Zhu Wanwen congratulated in a low voice.
"Congratulations to you too." Hu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
"Thank you, Councillor Qin!" Chen Jinchu thanked him and raised the envelope in his hand. "Next is the third runner-up of this year's Miss Hong Kong. Who will she be?"
Chen Jinchu opened the envelope and unfolded it. Li Yaoyue next to him stretched his head to look at the answer.
"She is..." Chen Jinchu paused again and said, "Wait, everyone, don't be too nervous. Don't be as nervous as I was. I didn't even invite the award presenter to the stage, but I wanted to announce the results."
Fang Shigao said with a smile, "Please invite Miss Ming Siyan, the third runner-up of the previous Miss Hong Kong pageant, to come on stage and present the award to this year's third runner-up! Please—"
Ming Siyan, the third runner-up of the previous session, wore a gown and the crown she won from the previous session, and walked onto the stage gracefully holding the hand of the etiquette master.
"Now we announce the third runner-up of this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant. She is—" Chen Jinchu announced loudly: "Contestant No. 9, Miss Zhao Yanhong—"
Zhao Yanhong was nervous from the moment she stepped onto the stage, but her goal was to win the championship. At the very least, her result would be the same as in the semi-finals, which was runner-up.
When the host announced the list, she was completely stunned.
Why is it only third place? Maybe I mispronounced it.
But with such a big stage, the host wouldn't mispronounce the name.
So, she was only the third runner-up?
Zhao Yanhong suppressed her inner resentment, put on a decent and enthusiastic smile again, and walked to the center of the stage to accept the crown of the third place winner of the previous session.
Ming Siyan took the ribbon from the etiquette lady's tray, put it on Zhao Yanhong, and then picked up the crown and put it on Zhao Yanhong's head.
Zhao Yanhong's face was full of smiles and she looked very happy. She kissed Ming Siyan on the cheek and won applause.
"Next, we'll announce the runner-up for this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant," Li Yaoyue said into the microphone. "Please invite last year's runner-up, Ms. Cao Keke, to the stage to present the award to this year's runner-up."
After Cao Keke took the stage arm in arm with the etiquette master, Li Yaoyue opened the envelope and read: "This year's Miss Baogang runner-up is - Miss Lin Qianyou, contestant number 2 -"
The camera turned to Lin Qianyou.
Perhaps she was well prepared, as Lin Qianyou was much more calm than in the semi-finals. She walked to the center of the stage with a smile, lowered her head slightly, and let Cao Keke put the sash on her and crown her.
The audience also gave Lin Qianyou very warm applause. Lin Qianyou smiled and waved to the audience and bowed to express his gratitude.
"It's finally time for everyone to show their support." Chen Jinchu held the last envelope and said, "First, let's welcome last year's Miss Hong Kong champion, Miss Wu Jiahui. Please give her a round of applause—"
Unlike the calmness of the second and third place winners of the previous session when they took the stage, Wu Jiahui, as the champion of the previous session and a figure who was once the focus of everyone's attention, made a more solemn and dignified appearance.
