"A perfect match, a perfect match indeed."
"I never expected that Jiang Yu alone would be enough of a headache for us, and now Chen Cixiu has come along, and he's part of the same family."
"What? You want to test Old Jiang's abilities after being out of the public eye for so long?"
"Didn't they say that President Jiang won the bid a while ago? And he actually won it?"
"Not only that, we've also secured the position of General Manager Jiang at the West District Science Park."
"None of this family members are easy to mess with."
The bigwigs were gossiping quietly below, while Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu stood on the stage.
The host also stood next to Chen Cixiu.
"President Chen, President Jiang, hello both of you."
"Hello."
A very official question.
The host seemed to have come prepared, as if he had been waiting for Chen Cixiu's arrival. He took out a prepared notebook and asked, "Mr. Chen, according to our understanding, you made all the decisions in this turmoil at Haochi Media. I would like to know, how did you come up with the idea of using this method?"
Creating a foundation is truly remarkable.
Chen Cixiu thought he had done everything perfectly, but they still managed to find out that he had paid extra for the marketing accounts.
But thinking about it, if these big shots really wanted to investigate, how could they not find out?
Obviously, although it's not something that can be said out loud, everyone knows the truth.
"This is thanks to the difficulties our company encountered at the beginning of sales. Although I made the suggestion, the credit actually belongs to everyone in our company, not just me."
The host was clearly surprised by Chen Cixiu's seasoned delivery.
This is also a test for the startup fund.
They will conduct some small tests on these entrepreneurs who are more mature than some of them should be at their age.
Let's see what their personalities are like.
With a personality like Chen Cixiu's, as long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, his future looks promising.
"Okay, thank you for your explanation, Mr. Chen."
The seasoned veterans already knew how Chen Cixiu came up with the idea of using marketing accounts to amplify this counterattack, while the newcomers were completely baffled, feeling like they weren't on the same wavelength.
Some bigwigs were discussing privately: "I never expected that Chen Cixiu would be able to use public opinion warfare like this."
"Looking at it this way, we're all getting a bit old, and I can't think of a solution."
The veterans were talking in such a low voice that the newcomers couldn't hear a thing they were saying.
"President Jiang."
The host then changed the subject.
Jiang Yu nodded.
"President Jiang has declined our invitations several times in a row. I wonder why he accepted this time?"
After the host asked the question, Jiang Yu looked at him, picked up the microphone, and said, "Isn't it obvious?"
She gestured with her hand.
The host laughed and said, "I'm really sorry, I thought our startup fund would be able to get President Jiang to come, but it turns out we're only doing this because of President Chen."
"Alright, without further ado, let's move on to the awards ceremony to allow time for the rest of the event."
The host walked away, and as the background music started, the spotlight fell on Chen Cixiu.
Jiang Yu accepted the trophy and handed it to Chen Cixiu, after which the two shook hands.
Standing together is like receiving an award.
The awards ceremony officially ended with the sound of a camera shutter clicking.
"Okay, congratulations to Mr. Chen on winning our last Startup Award from the Innovation Foundation. Is there anything you would like to say, Mr. Chen? For example, who would you like to thank?"
The host walked back and asked Chen Cixiu with a smile.
Holding the microphone, Chen Cixiu finally showed a hint of emotion.
"There are many people I want to thank: every employee of my company, every friend, my business partners, three good friends sitting below me, and my wife who has always supported me on this path."
Chen Cixiu paused for a moment, a slightly excited expression on his face. "I can't express my feelings, but I hope to share this moment with my good friend."
After he finished speaking, applause erupted.
Even Tian Xin, Li Bowen, and Cheng Yusheng had a few rare tears in their eyes.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen. Now, everyone, tonight is the last banquet for our Startup Awards. Please enjoy yourselves. If you need anything, just contact the waiter. Now, everyone, please proceed to the banquet hall."
After the host finished speaking, everyone began to leave.
Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu walked off the stage, and Jiang Yu's pride was very obvious.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Cixiu asked.
"Look at the handsome guy."
Jiang Yu said it without any hesitation, and it wasn't a lie; it was the truth. "Honey, I'm really proud today, you know? This is the first time I've ever felt this proud. It feels even more prideful than when I win an award."
Her face was filled with joy, and her excited smile never stopped.
She was lavish in her praise of Chen Cixiu.
Chen Cixiu took a deep breath, because people were leaving the room, and the big shots at the front were leaving the fastest, so they could sit down.
"Honey, you know what? Today, neither this award nor their praise really mattered to me. What's different is that you presented this award to me. I'm very happy and excited. When you presented this award to me, my mind was filled with excitement, and my sense of pride rose from the bottom of my heart."
Chen Cixiu held Jiang Yu's hand and said softly, "Wife, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have won this award."
Just as Jiang Yu was about to speak, Li Shuxue's voice came from the side.
"Gentlemen, shall we continue? The banquet is about to begin."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yu and Chen Cixiu both turned around and looked back at the same time, only to find that everyone had left.
"Let's go then."
Jiang Yu smiled, took Chen Cixiu's hand, and the three of them went to the banquet hall together.
Along the way, the two held hands tighter and tighter.
