Chapter 317 [Awards Ceremony]
As Yan Kui listened to the voice message sent by her son, whose babyish voice was even a little unclear, her heart melted completely, and she felt as if she had truly given birth to a little angel.
Just as I was thinking about whether to make a video call, Lu Jingbei suddenly called me again.
The two have been working closely together for the past few years, producing three big-budget dramas, two of which have already aired. Yan Kui has already earned back several times the amount of money he invested.
The third series is about to air.
Shi Ruoxia also went from being a supporting actress to the leading lady, successfully becoming a top-tier female star.
Yan Kui answered the phone and put it to her ear.
"Sister-in-law, I've sent you the schedule for tomorrow night's awards ceremony. Shi Ruoxia has been nominated for Best Actress, and the organizers have reserved seats for us. But I wanted to confirm, does Brother Yin want to go with you?"
Yan Kui turned on the speakerphone on the screen, placed the phone between the two of them, and asked softly, "Are you going tomorrow?"
Wei Yin glanced at the phone on the screen and said, "Send me a copy of the process, and I'll get back to you later."
Lu Jingbei readily agreed and sent a flowchart to Wei Yin's phone after hanging up.
"Will Shi Ruoxia win the award tomorrow?"
"Probably," Yan Kui said, not giving a definitive answer.
"Should I go with you? Will people call me Miss Yan's husband then?"
Although the Wei family's Xingcan has always been a leading entertainment company in the country, Wei Yin basically doesn't get involved in entertainment industry matters and leaves everything to Wei Zilin.
Now Yan Kui is a well-known investor in the industry, and if you go with her, there might actually be such a possibility.
Yan Kui smiled, propping her head up with one hand: "So, do you like this nickname?"
"certainly."
Wei Yin answered without hesitation; he actually quite wanted to hear that title.
He then picked up his phone and sent Lu Jingbei a "Go away" reply.
After receiving the message, Lu Jingbei called Wei Zilin.
Upon learning that Wei Yin was also going, Wei Zilin went so far as to contact the organizers and arrange for them to sit in the very center of the seating area.
…………
On the day of the awards ceremony.
Yan Kui wore a black dress from the same collection as Wei Yin, with Lu Jingbei and Wei Zilin beside her.
Passing by on both sides, you'll find top figures in the entertainment industry.
Shi Ruoxia wore a sequined fitted dress. Her beauty was like a red rose blooming on the edge of a cliff, bright and dazzling, yet making all her admirers hesitate.
The stands at the far back were filled with light boards bearing Shi Ruoxia's name.
When he saw her, he frantically shouted the name "Shi Ruoxia".
Shi Ruoxia, who was the center of attention, took the initiative to squat down and raise her wine glass when she saw Yan Kui.
“Miss Yan, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Are you… pregnant again? I saw the picture of your little boy on your WeChat Moments last time, and he looks exactly like Mr. Wei.”
Yan Kui nodded and smiled at her, picked up the juice in her glass, and said with obvious admiration in her eyes, "Ruo Xia, congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ruoxia reached out and touched Yan Kui's cup. The two chatted for a while. When Yan Kui asked the staff to find her a chair, Shi Ruoxia quickly waved her hand and got up to return to her seat.
More and more people gathered around, and many witnessed this scene, starting to discuss who the person who had been chatting with Shi Ruoxia was.
When Shi Ruoxia returned to her seat, Cheng Yu, who had become a very popular Best Supporting Actor in the past two years, was sitting next to her.
After seeing Shi Ruoxia sit down, Cheng Yu, out of curiosity, kept glancing between Yan Kui and her, but knowing the rules of this circle, she didn't ask what was on her mind.
It wasn't until Shi Ruoxia received the Best Actress award that she gave a speech on stage.
The room was filled with noise. Yan Kui sat in the audience, and holding her hand was the Wei family head, who sat with his legs crossed and looked down on everyone.
As the audience gradually quieted down, Yan Kui could clearly hear the person speaking on stage.
“This award was hard-won. I’ve always felt that I’m not very lucky, but luckily I met someone who appreciates me and whom I admire very much. She helped me go from an unknown actress to where I am today.”
Shi Ruoxia gripped the trophy tightly, seemingly raising it on the stage, but Yan Kui knew she wanted to hand it to him.
"I will always be grateful to her, the most important benefactor in my life."
A thunderous roar erupted from below the stage. Shi Ruoxia didn't say her name, but Yan Kui clearly felt her deep gratitude.
Seeing this, Wei Yin chuckled and said, "Miss Yan, well done."
