Chapter 261: So...Who Was Considered the Winner
Hai Rui''s celebration dinner was extravagant and studded with stars.
Under the luxurious chandelier, artists were chatting and holding wine sses as the hall
resounded with elegant music. The waiters and waitresses weaved their way around the guests as
they bnced their serving trays; every now and then, they would witness famous female and male
celebrities exchange nces and gossip about different agencies.
This was because Hai Rui''s CEO, Mo Ting, had not yet arrived.
Although Hai Rui was usually united, they couldn''t help discussing the incident concerning Zhen
Manni. After all, their conversations wouldn''t be an issue as long as it never left the agency.
"Tonight, even the winners of the best actor and best actress can''t steal the limelight from Zhen
Manni and Tangning."

"Hey, whose side are you on?"
"Between the two, I ''d pick Tangning," - two female artists gossiped - "Because it''s obvious that
Zhen Manni''s heart no longer belongs to Hai Rui. Since her heart isn''t with us, then we are no
longer friends. No matter what happens, I am determined to be on Tangning''s side."
"On another note, have you noticed that Huo Jingjing won''t be attending tonight?"
The woman that was being spoken to, looked around and nodded her head, "I just noticed. Why
isn''t she here?"
"Zhen Manni ordered some people to beat her up. From what I''ve heard, her injuries are so bad that
she can''t even get out of bed."
"That''s awful."
...
Meanwhile, some male artists were also deep in conversation, "I have a question I want to ask,
would you guys choose the one with a curvy body or long legs? One of them is sexy, while the other
is cool and quiet; they both seem pretty good."
"Do you think long legs is still an option?"
"From a man''s point of view, I reckon President Mo will definitely stand on Zhen Manni''s side. After
all, he needs to protect the internal stability of the agency."
"I think otherwise. I don''t think President Mo is the type to be threatened by others."
Everyone shared their opinions, it seemed they each had their own views regarding the matter. Of
course, their conversations simply circled around who Mo Ting would choose and didn''t include any
form of judgment or insult. No one from Hai Rui ever went against someone else from the same
agency; Zhen Manni was the only one to do such a thing.
"Quick look, I think Zhen Manni''s arrived."
Someone warned of Zhen Manni''s arrival in a hushed whisper before she appeared in their line of
sight. She was wearing a long ck deep-v dress which wrapped tightly around her gorgeous
figure. She strutted into the hall like a model with herstiletto heels as the train of her dress dragged
across the floor behind her.
At a nce, Zhen Manni''s figure was indeed superb. She was well aware of her standout features
and knew how to use it to her advantage by wearing clothes that highlighted her curves.
On the scene, there were quite a few male celebrities that reacted to the sight of Zhen Manni. A few
of them quickly drank the icy cold wine in their hands in an attempt to suppress the fire burning up
inside them.
Zhen Manni was pleased with their reactionsbecause, in her own eyes, she ruled the runway and
everyone was expected to be captivated by her.
From the look in the men''s eyes, she could tell she had sessfully achieved this; she felt
confident and attractive.
However, as she scanned her eyes across the hall, she realized Tangning was nowhere to be seen.
Was she too afraid to appear in front of her and battle it out on the same stage?
Zhen Manni''s beauty was publicly known. With the strengths that she possessed and her slightly
wild personality, many people found her beautiful but impossible to approach.
She had a strong presence like a queen and had enjoyed many years of attention on the runway.
Even when shepared herself to the top entertainers, she did not think of herself as on a
different level. As a result, she always looked dazzling and held her head high in confidence.
"Hey, Zhen Manni''s arrived. I''m so jealous of her breasts and bottom. No wonder people say
comparing oneself to another is unhealthy."
"With the way Zhen Manni looks today, no matter what Tangning dresses in, she won''t be able to
compare."
"We can''t be too certain. After all, the CEO is her manager..."
"You''re still questioning the oue? If the President appears tonight as the CEO of Hai Rui, then
Tangning doesn''t stand a chance. It would be obvious that he is on Zhen Manni''s side!"
The artists present gathered into groups and discussed the heated topic. Especially with the
appearance of Zhen Manni, they felt themselves sweating from anxiety as they couldn''t decide
whether they wanted Tangning to appear or not.
"Is she going to appear?"
"How would I know..."
The celebration dinner continued to proceed and guest performers appeared one after another;
some sang hit songs and some performed popr street dances. There were even ''fresh meat''
actors that simply stood on the stage; it seemed allowing their seniors toy eyes on their attractive
looks was a performance in itself.
"Tangning must be so afraid that she decided not to appear," Zhen Manni eximed amongst the
crowd as she held onto her wine ss; she wasn''t afraid of people hearing her.
Everyone around her were stunned. No matter how beautiful Zhen Manni was, they didn''t want to
take another nce at her.
A little whileter...
...there was amotion at the main entrance as Mo Ting finally made his appearance.
From the outfit he was wearing, it was obvious he was appearing as the CEO of Hai Rui...
A few people were disappointed; they had anticipated something else.
At this time, Zhen Manni''s lips curved upwards into a smile. She knew at this point, there was no
way she''dlose.
"Zhen Manni must be feeling quite arrogant. I mean, Tangning didn''t even appear!" everyone once
again started discussing.
"Look at Zhen Manni''s expression..."
"Wait, that''s not right. The president brought a woman with him...that...isn''t that Tangning?"
"Where?"
"The one wearing business attire behind the President..."
Not only these two people, but everyone else also noticed. Tangning wasn''t wearing anything
morous and didn''t make a grand appearance, she simply followed behind Mo Ting dressed in
business attire.
So...who was considered the winner?
It was true that Mo Ting had appeared as the CEO of Hai Rui, but...he brought Tangning along with
him.
As soon as Zhen Manni noticed Tangning, her smile turned stale. She wasn''t happy with what she
saw. Mo Ting was hinting that Tangning did note to Hai Rui because of Zhen Manni and just
because Zhen Manni wanted topete with Tangning, it didn''t mean Tangning was willing to y
along.
A momentter, the winner of the best actor award approached Mo Ting holding a wine ss as he
expressed his gratitude. Just as he was about to cheers with Mo Ting, Mo Ting nced at the little
woman behind him questioningly, like he was asking her for permission to drink.
Tangning was surprised, but she quickly understood. So she nodded her head.
As soon as the actor saw this, he couldn''t hold back hisughter, "President Mo, are you asking our
junior sister for permission? Does she even have control over your drinking habits?"
"Before, when I was her manager, sheined that I was being too strict on her. So, today I
suggested that we reverse our roles so she can be my manager instead..." Mo Ting exined as he
clinked sses with the actor.
"I never imagined our junior sister had the potential to be a manager!" the actor couldn''t help but
tease. "I''ve never seen our President Mo being controlled by someone else, this is quite a
refreshing scene to witness."
After speaking, the actor looked at Tangning, "Thank you junior sister, for giving me the opportunity
to witness such a scene."
