Ye Shu was utterly speechless toward that guy, occasionally elbowing him in hopes he would quickly let go of her.
Yet, he clung to her like a plaster, sticking closer and closer.
Just when Ye Shu couldn’t bear it anymore and was about to lose her cool, the host busied himself, "It looks like Miss Ye really likes our Mr. Sheng, but still, we need a few words of acceptance speech. What do you think, Mr. Sheng?"
Can shamelessness be contagious? This host’s blatant fawning over Handsome B is just too much!
Ye Shu pushed away Sheng Shuai, taking the microphone handed to her by the host.
Traditionally, this was the time when Sheng Shuai should have left the stage, but he didn’t, standing with his hands in his pockets beside Ye Shu, watching her.
Ye Shu felt her face might bleed from how much she was being stared at, it was so embarrassing!
She cleared her throat forcefully and began, "As a newcomer in the entertainment industry, I am very fortunate to have been able to attend the Cannes Film Festival and to have won this award. Many people would say that upon winning an award, you should thank your father, your mother, or perhaps a mentor, or even your boss. But today, here, I want to thank those who work diligently behind the scenes, such as assistants, photographers, set workers, and so on. Their contributions are immense, and everyone only sees the glamorous side of the actors on stage, but not the hard work of these behind-the-scenes workers. Without them, there is no success for us. I sincerely thank you all..."
The moment Ye Shu finished, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
Especially Mi Taotao, Ye Xinyu’s assistant, who stood up excitedly, clapping and cheering, with tears of emotion in her eyes.
Ye Xinyu’s face turned white with rage, and she discreetly kicked Mi Taotao, muttering under her breath, "Clout-chasing scheming bitch!" Fake thanks to assistants, if she’s so noble, why not be an assistant for life?
After being kicked by Ye Xinyu, Mi Taotao was angry but didn’t dare to speak, fiddling with her phone, her expression complex.
On the phone’s contact list—the name ’Gan Xiaotian’ stung her eyes.
Glancing at Ye Xinyu, who had already turned green with jealousy, Mi Taotao bit her lip, then looked up at Ye Shu on the stage, feeling that she should never have been Ye Xinyu’s pawn, conspiring with ’Gan Xiaotian’ to frame Ye Shu.
Ye Xinyu had only ever used them as tools, never treating them like people!
Perhaps it was time for her to do something.
Sheng Shuai was gazing dreamily at Ye Shu the entire time, and only when she finished the last word of her acceptance speech did he suddenly start clapping vigorously, shouting ’Bravo’!
Ye Shu was so startled she almost threw the microphone.
Frowning, she glared at this handsome, trendy oddball in front of her, her head aching endlessly.
The host, sensing the mood and judging by his own experience, guessed that Sheng Shuai was pursuing Ye Shu, but it seemed to be a case of unrequited love.
To avoid embarrassing their major sponsor, Mr. Sheng Shuai, the host quickly interjected between them, "Lady Ye Shu, this dress you’re wearing is so fitting for the occasion. With ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ recently being a huge hit, have you considered taking this opportunity to promote your role in that drama, as well as your upcoming movie ’Dynasty’ directed by Director Sun?"
The moment the host said this, Ye Xinyu suddenly stood up.
Sure enough, that shameless Ye Shu was planning to ride on the popularity of ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ to hype her new movie!
Just as Ye Xinyu was about to speak out in resentment, her gaze met with Sheng Shuai’s, who was lazily looking down from the stage.
His stunning beauty instantly captivated her, and Ye Xinyu no longer wanted to lose face in front of this man.
She could only watch helplessly as Ye Shu was led by the host to promote ’Dynasty’ in all sorts of fancy ways.
Furious, she left the venue!
