Chapter 103 Quit The Show Business


    At seven o''clock on the Friday night, the annual "TV Ceremony" was being broadcast by major


    media.


    Mary had just gotten back from the hospital. She turned on the TV and saw reports about it


    everywhere.


    "Now, for the moment we''ve all been waiting for, " the host was speaking enthusiastically. "Who will


    be the best actor this year? Who do you think it would be?"


    "Victor! Victor! Victor!"


    Victor''s name was chanted the loudest in the venue with more than ten thousand people.


    "I heard your cheers," the host said with a smile. "Now, let''s wee the honored guests to unveil


    the award for us. Wee!"


    A man and a woman came on the stage and exchanged greetings for a long time before opening


    the card.


    "Now I dere," the male guest said with suspense. "The actor who won the best actor of the year


    is..."


    "Victor!" The female guest finished his sentence. "Congrattions, Victor!"


    "Victor! Victor!" The fans began cheering louder and louder.


    Although Mary had already known the results beforehand, she was still so happy to watch Victor win


    the award.


    The spotlight suddenly focused on Victor who was sitting under the stage. He was wearing a ck


    tuxedo, with a bright and confident look on his face. He stood up and bowed to the crowd.

    "Let''s wee Victor to the stage!" The host announced.


    As soon as Victor bounced off his seat, he was followed by the dazzling light all the way to the huge


    stage of the TV Ceremony.


    The award presenter handed the golden trophy to Victor and they greeted and hugged each other.


    "Victor, would you care to give us a speech regarding your award?" The host gestured, still smiling


    at Victor.


    "Thank you." Victor stood in front of the microphone.


    "First of all, thank you to everyone who kept supporting me. Without you, I wouldn''t be who I am


    today. Thank you!" Victor bowed deeply to the audience, and immediately there was a burst of


    cheers. "There are a lot of people to thank," Victor confidently said. "Thank you to the director,


    producers, and all the cast and crew of the Past of Republic of China, whose efforts have brought


    me such high honors. Thank you for all your hard work, and for giving me such a wonderful


    opportunity. Thank you.


    Tonight, standing on this starry stage, I feel everyone''s enthusiasm, and I feel that I''ve reached the


    peak of being an actor.


    I think I''m satisfied now." Victor smiled one more time, lowered his head and kissed the golden


    trophy in his hand. "Thank you for putting a perfect end to my acting career!"


    As soon as he finished his words, all the people in the hall let out a fleet of inconceivable gasping


    and whispering.


    Mary''s eyes widened because of what she had just heard. ''Victor... Are you crazy?''


    "Yes," said Victor. "Tonight may be thest time in my life to stand on the stage. I''ve decided to quit


    the show business, which maye as a shock to everyone, but for me, it is a wish that has been


    hidden for a long time. Thank you for all your support."


    After saying that, he bowed deeply again and did not stand up for a long time.


    "Ha ha..." The host came back to his senses from the shock. He hurriedly mediated and said,


    "Congrattions again on Victor''s award. Let''s apud and congratte him again!"


    There was a faint apuse at the party, and everyone seemed like they did not know how to react.


    "Please have a rest... Well, next..."


    Victor slowly walked down the stage and went to the backstage.


    "Victor! Are you out of you mind? What was that! " As soon as he arrived at the backstage, Jorge


    ran over to him and yelled, "What do you want to do? Do you want to ruin this party or yourself?


    Answer me!"


    "I''ve already made my decision." Victor didn''t seem to care about it, but deep down he was nervous.


    Was that person watching? Did she know these words were for her?


    ''You said you don''t like celebrities. If I quit, will you start to like me?''


    "Let''s go. You''reing with me," Jorge said, holding his hand. "The press will block the ce


    soon. Tomorrow... I think you''re going to hit the headlines tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"


    "Where are we going?"


    "We''re going back to thepany! Where else could we go? You didn''t think this through!"


    "I''m waiting for those reporters. There''s one more thing I haven''t said yet." The look in Victor''s eyes


    suddenly became obscure.


    Mary stared nkly at the TV as she watched Victor step down from the stage. She wanted to call


    him right away.


    As soon as she touched the phone, it rang.


    ''''Hello?''1


    "Mary." Kevin''s voice came through the phone. "Are you watching TV right now? Victor announced


    that he would quit show business."


    "Yes, I am."


    "What should I do?" Kevin''s voice sounded a little anxious. "I can''t find Mr. Lan. Mary, do you know


    where he might be?"


    "He... He has something to deal with recently." Mary took a deep breath and said, "You should ask


    thepany to make an announcement first, saying that it was Victor''s personal choice to dere


    his withdrawal from the show business."


    "Okay, I know."


    "And," said Mary. "Try to contact William again." "Okay."


    After hanging up the phone, Mary rubbed her eyebrows painfully.


    In Tokyo, Japan. In the evening, they finally got the permission to enter the ward to see Nancy.


    Nancy''s expression looked dull, as if they were irrelevant people. She seldom spoke, and even


    didn''t move her eyes.


    "Ring, ring, ring..."


    Suddenly, William''s phone rang.


    "I''m sorry." William apologized and hurried out of the ward.


    "Hello?"


    "Boss!" Kevin sounded like he had found a rtive who had been missing for many years. "You


    finally answered the phone!"


    "What''s wrong?" William''s voice remained steady and unburdened.


    "Something''s happened," said Kevin. "Victor suddenly announced that he will quit the show


    business. This news will probably cause a big stir. In case it causes our stock prices to drop, the


    transfer of shares..."


    "Is Victor going to quit show business? When did he say this?" William''s mood immediately


    changed.


    "Yes, he announced it at the ''TV Ceremony'' tonight."


    "Send an announcement first to dere that this is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with


    thepany." William made an immediate decision. "Let''s stabilize the public''s emotions first."


    "Mary has asked us to do it, and the message has been sent."


    Mary...


    William felt nervous upon hearing Mary''s name. He should feel relieved but instead he was


    flustered.


    ''Did Victor''s decision have anything to do with her? Was it for her?''


    He tightened his grip on the phone because of the overwhelming anxiety and pressure that he felt.


    "Do as I said first. I''ll be back soon."


    "Got it."


    After hanging up the phone, William was so frustrated that he walked around with one hand on his


    waist.


    "You should probably head back now." A voice suddenly came from behind him. "There''s nothing for


    you to do here."


    William turned around as soon as he heard the voice. "Frank."
