Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 817: A Pleasant Surprise

When the nominees for Best Director were being announced, Wang Sheng wasn’t nervous at all.

He didn’t have the same anticipation as Sheng Tang.

Wang Sheng knew that Sheng Tang had submitted the theatrical release for the awards, and he thought the chances of winning were slim.

Getting a nomination alone had already excited him.

He never thought he would really get the trophy.

So when his name was called, Wang Sheng didn’t react. He just instinctively smiled and clapped along.

The producer next to him nudged him, and he finally snapped back to reality, "Me?"

His voice was a bit loud.

Everyone around heard it.

The microphone also caught his voice, and his not-so-loud "Me" echoed through the entire venue, eliciting good-natured laughter from everyone.

Even the guest on stage teased him, "It seems Director Wang was lost in thought! Let me read it again: The winner for Best Director, Wang Sheng, ’The Road to Elevation’."

The laughter in the room grew even louder.

Wang Sheng’s face flushed bright red as he stood up.

His good friend and producer, Luo Yishan, gave him a hug, and Sheng Tang also stood up to embrace him.

Qian Zhe Lin shook hands with him.

Wang Sheng almost clumsily walked to the stage to receive his award.

More humorously, he forgot his speech. Or rather, he hadn’t really prepared any acceptance speech at all.

He stood at the microphone for ten seconds and then resignedly said, "I’m sorry, I really can’t remember my words, my mind is completely blank."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, encouraging him.

Gradually, Wang Sheng regained his composure.

He first thanked the judges of the Qingtan Awards, thanking them for giving him this award; then, he thanked his producer, Luo Yishan.

Finally, he especially thanked Sheng Tang.

"Without Sheng Tang, there wouldn’t be this project," he said, "Thank you to my good friend Sheng Tang."

After speaking, he took the trophy, his face unable to hide his smile, and went for an interview.

Sheng Tang couldn’t help but smile as well.

Qian Zhe Lin whispered to Sheng Tang, "You handled yourself too well earlier, especially compared to the director."

Sheng Tang chuckled.

Aside from Wang Sheng, no matter how unexpected it was for someone else tonight, there wasn’t much of a blunder.

At this moment, Gu Shiting was sitting in the living room, also watching the awards ceremony.

He watched Sheng Tang intently.

Tangtang looked especially beautiful tonight.

He was lost in thought when his phone rang; it was his mother calling.

"Did you see the Qingtan Awards ceremony?" Mrs. Gu asked him.

Gu Shiting nodded, "I did."

"Tangtang won a big award. Why don’t you use this as an excuse to invite her over for a meal? It’s a big deal," Mrs. Gu said, "This is important."

Gu Shiting and Sheng Tang were doing well now.

Sheng Tang no longer resisted him; he didn’t want to rush things, or overdo it.

"No, let’s talk about it later," Gu Shiting replied.

After the awards ceremony ended, Gu Shiting’s car was already near the hotel where the event was held.

He had timed it perfectly and called Sheng Tang.

On Sheng Tang’s end, the event had just ended, and there was still a banquet to attend when the phone rang.

"...Tangtang, are you out yet?" Gu Shiting asked her, "Do you want to celebrate together? This is a major award you’ve won."

Sheng Tang: "Now? There’s still a banquet later, I can’t leave at the moment."

Gu Shiting: "No worries, I’ll come over after the banquet ends."

Sheng Tang hesitated for a moment.

She glanced at her phone. Gu Jiahui hadn’t messaged her or called, so thinking he probably wouldn’t celebrate with her, Sheng Tang said, "How about this, I’ll call you when it’s almost over. Don’t come too early."

Gu Shiting agreed. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He parked the car, leaning against the roadside.

He reached into his pocket and touched a ring.

For some reason, he had brought this ring with him again. This was the one he bought the day his grandmother died, and with the first money he earned.
