2369 Twins

Qiao Jierou had kept her back then so that she could be useful at the critical moment.

This time, even if Hu Haitian didn’t let Qiao Weiyang suffer a huge loss, she would at least skin Qiao Weiyang alive.

Frank was also calling Qiao Weiyang.

However, because Qiao Weiyang had put her phone on silent mode to attend the jewelry design award ceremony, she did not pick up.

Lin Heng’s brows did not relax.

Qiao Jierou said in a low voice, “Why didn’t she come over?”

Lin Heng’s doubts were aroused. Could it be that she really didn’t dare to come because she was suspected of plagiarism?

However, in fact, the main committee did not mention that Qiao Weiyang had such a thing.

The trending topics in the country were just groundless rumors by the reporters!

“This is the award ceremony for the International Fas.h.i.+on Design Compet.i.tion,” the emcee on stage said.

For the convenience of all the contestants today, every contestant was a.s.signed an interpreter. Everyone could immediately hear the synchronized translation of what was said on the stage.

Hearing this, Qiao Jierou sat up straight.

Following the emcee’s introduction, the award ceremony officially began.

The fans watching the live-stream also realized that Qiao Weiyang was not present.

Although Lin Heng was the one who spent money to facilitate this live-stream, Qiao Weiyang’s fans wanted to see her too, so they gathered in the live-stream.

When they didn’t see her, everyone was a little worried. [Where did Weiyang go?]

[Don’t tell me she’s late?]

Immediately, Qiao Jierou’s fans said: [You’re still asking where Qiao Weiyang went? Don’t you know where she went? Didn’t you see the trending topics? She was already eliminated because the organizers found out that she plagiarized!]

[That’s right. You fans are really stupid! Qiao Weiyang has already been exposed, yet you’re still fans of her?]

Qiao Weiyang’s fans did not intend to start a fight, but who could tolerate being pointed at and scolded by others?

Immediately, some fans retorted: [The organizers of the compet.i.tion didn’t say anything. Why are you jumping out to make accusations? Are all the trending topics correct? Who knows if you bought the content?]

[What does our concern for Weiyang have to do with you? If you don’t know how to say nice things, shut up!]

Qiao Jierou’s fans retorted: [Alright, let me see how you’ll turn the tables later! Why is our Jierou here but Qiao Weiyang isn’t? It’s because she’s not qualified! Plagiarizers are not qualified!]

[Jierou will definitely be the champion! There’s no doubt about it!]

[You fans of Qiao Weiyang are going to die of anger!]

[What’s so great about a local movie queen? This is an international award, a big award!]

The comments were very lively. A few awards had been given out, but the fans did not care. This was because the people who won the awards were basically blonde and blue-eyed foreigners. They were all in the design industry, so no one knew them.

After the Special Design Award, the Best Newbie Award, and the fifth to second place awards were given out, everyone’s attention was pulled back.

Because so far, there had been no mention of Qiao Jierou’s or Qiao Weiyang’s names.

And there was only the grand prize left, which was…

First place!

The fans became nervous.

Especially Qiao Weiyang’s fans. Because up until now, Qiao Weiyang had yet to show up.

As for Qiao Jierou’s fans, they were mainly cheering.

In their opinion, Qiao Jierou was the best in the world. Without her, White Fox wouldn’t have been successful. Without her, Qiao Weiyang wouldn’t have been successful. Qiao Weiyang only won the Best Actress Award because of her tricks. Besides, Lin Heng even cheated on her. In short, Qiao Jierou was always right.

Qiao Jierou herself was not as confident as them.

She clenched her fists. Her palms were covered in sweat, and her expression was tense.

This was the last award!

JR’s future and everything else she had would rely on this!

This was the final battle, and she had no room to lose.

Tonight, at the Qiao family’s house…

The family and friends who had invested in JR spontaneously came to the Qiao family’s residence to watch the live-stream.

They looked nervous.

The rich madams who were originally playing mahjong with Huang Shumin had now stopped playing. They sat on the sofa, staring at the television.

This time, they were not in the same mood as last time.

The last time when Qiao Jierou did not win the award, it had nothing to do with them.

This time, Qiao Jierou’s award concerned the entire JR and their respective wallets.

Old Madam Qiao pretended to be calm, but her fingers were trembling so much that she couldn’t hold onto the teacup. She simply stopped drinking tea and maintained her composure.

“Old Madam, do you think…” someone asked softly, as if afraid that it would break the atmosphere of the event location.

“In my opinion, there’s no suspense about who the final award will go to,” Old Madam Qiao said. “Everyone, don’t be too nervous.”

“We’re just afraid… If something really happens, we’ll…”

Old Madam Qiao smiled and said, “You’re worried that if Jierou can’t win the award, JR won’t be able to develop well, right? Then let me tell you that even if Jierou can’t win this award, JR will still be a public company in Germany. Its future development will be immeasurable. For a time, the share price won’t be able to rise wantonly. But in the long term, it will definitely continue to rise.”

These words seemed to rea.s.sure everyone. “Indeed, Old Madam has a point.”

“Besides…” Old Madam Qiao changed the topic. “Our Jierou is sure to win the award.”

Everyone was even more relieved. Winning the award could make the winner’s popularity soar. Even if Jierou did not win the award, JR still had a chance to develop. Either way, it was good for them!

“Now, let’s invite our contestant, Qiao Jierou, on stage!” Following the emcee’s words, the Qiao family was in an uproar!

Huang Shumin was pleasantly surprised. “Oh my G.o.d, did I hear wrongly? Did they call out Jierou’s name?”

“That’s right, it’s Jierou! It’s Jierou!” Everyone said happily, “It’s really Jierou!”

However, they ignored the fact that the emcee didn’t say that she won the award. He only invited her on stage.

An unbelievable look of surprise appeared on Qiao Jierou’s face, and the joy in her eyes was real. Everything had been going wrong for her recently, and she had finally made a comeback here.

The excitement in her heart was unimaginable. She stood up and looked at the stage in surprise.

“In addition to Qiao Jierou, we also want to invite Qiao Weiyang on stage.”

Lin Heng had just hugged Qiao Jierou and was celebrating with her when he heard this.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only were they stunned, but everyone else was too. Could it be that there were two winners this time?

The Qiao family was also surprised. “What’s going on? Why are the two of them going on stage at the same time?”

“What happened?”

“Didn’t Qiao Weiyang not go? I didn’t see her below the stage!”

The fans in the live-stream were also asking: [What’s going on? Who is the award given to? Or is it for the two of them? But how are they going to give it to Qiao Weiyang if she’s not there?]
