: She Has a Soul
The girl soon ended up at the back row. Then, the lady who stood up for Mu Qiqi smiled and sat beside her.
"Your grandfather is the old chief in the military and your uncle is the mayor of Jianchuan. With your background, you are not any less than that thing. Why don't you use that to stand up for yourself?"
"It's just a small matter, " said Mu Qiqi."I'm just not used to this kind of occasion. After all, everyone here is either rich or powerful. I don't want to cause any trouble to my family."
"I am Li Ai. I'm a few years older than you. You can call me Sister Ai."
"Nice to meet you, Sister Ai."
"The one who troubled you just now was the daughter of the Chen family. Her name is Chen Qiao. You should be careful with her. She is the only daughter among the many sons of the family, so she is spoiled."
Mu Qiqi nodded gratefully. However, she did not pay much attention to Chen Qiao.
To her, she would not have much future interaction with the people she met tonight. So, she did not have to remember them.
After a while, Sheng Xiao returned to Mu Qiqi's side. Seeing the woman had moved to the back row, his eyebrow twitched, but he still sat down quietly.
"What happened?"
"Nothing." Mu Qiqi tilted her head and answered."The award ceremony is about to start."
On the stage not far away, the well-known host made the atmosphere relaxed and happy with his witty words.
After that, the award ceremony began officially.
The awards were divided into three categories, the ten most influential people, the ten most outstanding contributors, and the ten outstanding young people.
This is the national honor.
When Mu Qiqi witnessed the outstanding people on the stage, she finally understood what someone who had a family and the nation in his heart looked like.
The final award to be given out was to the ten outstanding young people.
Sheng Xiao was the last in the list because his description was the longest.
"Zhongteng has only been established not more than a year ago, but this outstanding talent is already invincible in the market. He switched his career from the jewelry industry to the military industry. And what you don't know is that there are as many as sixty-five new technologies researched by Zhongteng for the military. And among them, sixty have passed the national certification and will be widely used in the military in the future. Not only that, this twenty-eight year old young entrepreneur has also been involved in the development of many fields. Now he has begun to study new weapons and his study has achieved preliminary results. Hence, we have the reason to believe that the future of Zhongteng represents strength and confidence—the confidence of the nation and our confidence."
Mu Qiqi looked at her man, Sheng Xiao. She never realized how much he had done in just one year.
"Are you fascinated?" Sheng Xiao turned and looked at Mu Qiqi. He knew that gaze. It was the gaze she gave him when she fell for him.
"Get on the stage. The host is calling your name." She reminded him quickly.
Sheng Xiao hugged her and stood up. From the seat, he walked to the stage with steady steps.
He was a rare person who had ability, talent, temperament, and good looks.
It was not an exaggeration to describe him as the perfect man.
To think that one year ago, Sheng Xiao was still a cynical, dangerous, and evil man.
"Chief Sheng, please come to the front." The host gestured to him."And I would like to invite the guest who will be giving out the award."
The people who gave out the awards were naturally not any ordinary people. For instance, the one who was going to present the award to Sheng Xiao was the second commander of the army.
The audience knew that Sheng Xiao being presented the award by someone of that position must mean that his contributions were worthy of respect.
"Chief Sheng, please give a speech on behalf of the outstanding young people."
With the applause, Sheng Xiao stood before the mic with the trophy in his hand."Almost a year has passed. The team of Zhongteng and I have done a lot of research and tried many things. At present, Zhongteng has limitless potential. The host has already said that I have done sixty-five studies with sixty of the technologies having passed the test and are going to be put to use in the military. You might wonder why I put in so much effort into changing the working environment of the soldiers. While soldiers and people in other industries play a part in that, there is a bigger reason."
Halfway through the speech, Sheng Xiao suddenly looked at where Mu Qiqi was. He pointed at her and said, "Because of my wife.
"Ever since she started studying forensic medicine, she has dealt with all kinds of corpses. So, oftentimes there is an unpleasant smell on her body and she would encounter problems. Therefore, I started to think of ways to relieve her from the problems, which triggered my thoughts about various industries. And because of this, I invested in many studies. The existence of my wife makes me feel a great responsibility. And I hope that my abilities can truly be used by society."
Listening to his speech, the host couldn't help asking him, "Chief Sheng, did you tell your wife when you did these studies?"
Sheng Xiao shook his head."She has to study during the day and work the police station at night. Sometimes, she receives calls to go out and work in the middle of the night."
"I can see that you are very supportive of her career."
At the mention of Mu Qiqi, the people could see how Sheng Xiao's face softened.
"She is young and petite. And she has a beautiful soul. To me, she is an equal." Sheng Xiao answered seriously."The true value of a person can be seen from how one contributes to society. With her small body, she works very hard to find murderers. As her husband, of course I have to discipline myself more."
"It seems like a lot of credit for Zhongteng's success goes to Mrs. Sheng."
Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao's eyes met through the crowd, shining brightly like twinkly stars.
It didn't matter that other people did not understand. As long as they understood each other, they had the whole world.
Later, Sheng Xiao walked down the stage and returned to Mu Qiqi's side.
She looked at him and her heart melted."You never told me those things. I thought I am just a naughty burden to you."
"You just don't realize how much influence you have on me. Didn't I tell you before? You don't have to do anything. Just stay by my side. I naturally know how to draw nutrients from you."
"This is the first time I know I still have such a big influence."
