Afternoon-
In just over an hour, everyone hurried back to the venue.
As soon as Qiu Xi arrived, Tanaka Chizi, who was injured in the front, glared at her with disgust.
Only when Qiu Xi reached her seat and the host's voice sounded did he reluctantly turn his head back.
Qiu Xi was just surprised, wondering why this person's face was injured.
He wasn't good-looking to begin with, and his height was insufficient; now he looked even more pathetic...
As for the look that wished she could stab her to death, she didn't pay any attention to it at all...
She had experienced such things many times and had learned to block them out.
Or rather, there was nothing to care about.
After this minor interruption, the final competition of the afternoon began.
At first, there was no surprise, just normal performance.
However, later on, some exciting moments did appear.
Qiu Xi recognized them: Annie and Alex.
There were five or six people between them, and their speeches were quite surprising.
Alex's performance was very flamboyant; he looked like the confident type.
Of course, the results proved that.
Annie, on the other hand, was a beautiful and elegant woman. When she went on stage, she spoke like she was negotiating, exuding remarkable presence.
This was the first time Qiu Xi had seen such a person today.
Including herself, to cater to the competition, she had unconsciously changed during her speech.
Unlike Annie, who seemed to have a very distinctive style.
After watching, Qiu Xi was truly impressed and had learned something new.
She had learned a new technique~
Distinctiveness is also very important.
Time flew by, and it was already the last contestant.
As the last contestant stepped down, the host's voice sounded, "...This competition has now concluded. Please wait patiently."
As soon as the words fell, people below began to discuss in low voices.
Qiu Xi was the only one from her group, so she could only wait quietly for the host to come on stage again.
After two or three minutes, the host's voice sounded again.
"Please look at the big screen!"
Instantly, the large screen in front projected the results of the competition.
At the same time, the voice from the speaker sounded again.
"Champion, Qiu Xi from Hua Nation! Congratulations!"
"Runner-up..."
The runner-up was Annie, and the third place was Alex.
In addition, there were three outstanding contestants.
"Now, please invite these six contestants to the stage for the award ceremony."
The champions, runners-up, and third-place winners were awarded first. Qiu Xi stood in the center of the stage, in the C position.
As the presenter approached, Qiu Xi took the heavy trophy, a smile curving her lips.
At that moment, flashbulbs popped.
Yang Yue squeezed to the front, her phone tapping away.
Then, while people were still waiting on stage, she retreated, her phone still tapping away.
"Look!"
"Unexpected, yet understandable!"
"We are the champions!"
One sentence after another, photos were sent out rapidly. Yang Yue's face was flushed with excitement.
Qiu Xi winning the championship was indeed beyond her expectations!
She had guessed Qiu Xi would win an award, but she hadn't expected her to be the champion!
Now she could brag about it!
She could brag about it for a long time!
As Yang Yue was sighing, messages were also pinging non-stop in the group chat.
"Qiu Xi is so amazing? What good news!"
"!!!"
"Get ready! We can customize banners and get them ready to hang!" exclaimed the excited old dean.
"Finally! Our department is shining again!"
The dean, who had been overshadowed by the neighboring department for a long time, was so excited he wished he could run over and spread the news right now.
"Great! We must have a good chat with this student when she gets back~"
The press release should be prepared again~
Hmm...
If this continues, the department's funding can increase again~
"It seems it's time to talk to the child about the department's rewards~"
The child is so successful; shouldn't she be rewarded!
Also, it's time to talk to the school leaders. Their students are so outstanding; they can't let them feel discouraged!
Hehehe~
Even from a distance, people could tell what he was planning.
The camera turned back to Qiu Xi. The awards ceremony on stage had concluded.
The host had just announced the end of the competition, which was now over.
Qiu Xi, holding the trophy, followed behind Yang Yue. The two were preparing to head back to the hotel.
"Xiao Xi, you've really surprised your teacher this time!" Yang Yue was still filled with emotion.
Qiu Xi accepted the praise generously, "Hahaha~ Thank you for your praise, Teacher~"
"No need to thank me, child, you're capable!"
"Keep up the good work in the future!"
"That's for sure~ I will definitely work hard!"
"Okay, let's go, we're heading back." Saying this, the two walked out of the venue.
"It's getting late. We'll have dinner and rest well, then play for a day tomorrow, and we'll head back the day after."
Qiu Xi nodded, "Okay."
Originally, they had planned to go out tonight, but it was indeed getting late, and after sitting for a whole day, they were exhausted.
It would be better to wake up early tomorrow...
Upon arriving at the hotel, Qiu Xi went straight back to her room.
"Xiao Xi, you're back."
It was already quite late, and the two had been waiting until now.
"Yes, I'm exhausted."
As she spoke, Qiu Xi eagerly put down the bag holding the trophy and then casually shook her hand.
She had been holding it since she received it.
"What is this?"
Seeing Qiu Xi's condition, Tang Siran beside her was a bit curious.
Qiu Xi didn't say what it was but took the trophy out of the bag, "Look! It's this~"
In front of her sisters, this wasn't showing off but simply sharing good news.
"Wow ⊙∀⊙!"
"Xiao Xi, is this a trophy?!" Hua Linglong exclaimed.
Qiu Xi nodded, "Mm."
"Ah!!!"
Upon closer inspection, "Xiao Xi, you're the champion!"
"You're amazing!"
Tang Siran followed, feeling very excited too.
Although the trophy wasn't hers, it belonged to her sister, so by extension, she was also involved.
"No! No!" Hua Linglong shouted, "Such good news must be celebrated with photos!"
"Xiao Xi, hurry, let's take some pictures!"
After taking photos, they would post them on their social media so everyone would know!
"This... aren't you bothered by the trouble?"
"Not at all! This is a good thing~"
With that, Hua Linglong got ready.
"Come on, it'll be quick~"
"Alright, then let's take a few casual shots~"
"Okay!"
Qiu Xi nodded, and the three of them ran around the room.
Background, subjects, lighting, composition...
"Okay, I can't anymore..."
She was so tired; it was time to eat!
"Xiao Xi, it's fine, go eat quickly~"
This was their prepared lunch...
Otherwise, Xiao Xi wouldn't have agreed...
"..."
"Alright..."
"I'm going to eat."
