Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All novel Chapter 619

Capítulo 619: Chapter 618: Actually Only Got Second Place?

Upon hearing the words of the award presenter, You Junyao and Doctor Wen Yan subconsciously straightened their clothes, preparing to stand up later, wave to the audience, and then go on stage to receive the award.

Assistant Lin stood not far away, and upon seeing this scene, she had already nervously instructed the reporters they had invited, “When Mr. You and Doctor Wen Yan go on stage later, be sure to capture their impressive demeanor from multiple angles!”

Other attendees also raised their hands, ready to applaud.

Although the judges hadn’t announced the winning team to the public, this year, apart from Bi Yu’s team, only Doctor Wen Yan’s team was considered a strong contender, a dark horse firmly in everyone’s minds.

The third place had already been claimed by a Huaxia team, the first place would definitely go to Bi Yu’s team, so the second place had to be Doctor Wen Yan’s team—there could be no one else!

The award presenter on stage played it up, only revealing the winning team once everyone below was ready, saying in great surprise, “This is really unexpected! I believe that when I read out the name of this team, everyone below will share the same expression as me!”

He paused, lifted the card in his hand, and announced loudly, “The runner-up of the Madam Curie Award for Best Research Development goes to: ‘salvation’ team!”

You Junyao and Wen Yan, with smiles on their faces, raised their hands and stood halfway up, when they suddenly realized which team the presenter had announced. Their expressions froze simultaneously, their motion to rise coming to a standstill, utterly unable to grasp the situation!

In that instant, the venue plunged into an extreme silence!!

The award presenter, host, and judges on stage seemed to have anticipated such a scene. No one spoke; they simply waited with smiles for the attendees below to absorb the shock.

After a while—

“The ‘salvation’ team only got second place?! Then who is the number one, what kind of miracle worker?!”

Those sitting beside You Junyao and Wen Yan were all flattering the two profusely.

Only after hearing everyone’s flattery did You Junyao and Wen Yan slowly come back to their senses.

They… had actually surpassed the ‘salvation’ team and won first place in the Madam Curie Award?!

You Junyao and Wen Yan exchanged glances, seeing shock and excitement mirrored in each other’s eyes.

You Junyao had personally participated in the award presentation, partly wanting to generate buzz for his group’s research institute, but had absolutely not expected that the institute’s achievements could surpass the ‘salvation’ team.

But if the ‘salvation’ team got only second place, then apart from them, who else could qualify for first?
