After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 501 Award Ceremony
We arrived at the Great Hall of the United Nations Headquarters.

After the initial shock and surprise, Zhang Yongxiang began to have some doubts.

It wasn't the grand scene I had imagined.

It's a bit monotonous!
There were hardly any people in the huge hall; only about 20 staff members participated in the award ceremony.

I thought there would be several hundred fellow participants at the event.

It will be a very grand occasion!

Xu You noticed something and quickly walked over, asking solemnly, "Which one of you is Mr. Zhang Yongxiang, the general manager of Antarctic Man?"

"Oh! That's me!"

Zhang Yongxiang quickly stepped forward.

Xu You shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am a staff member of the United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association. Today, we are presenting the awards for the global winter clothing competition. After six months of secret visits and undercover investigations, we sampled 826 winter clothing products from around the world. We selected a total of twenty winning companies, including three gold awards. Among them, Nanji Ren, representing Asia, won the gold award! Nanji Ren is the only winning company from Asia!"

Zhang Yongxiang became excited, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Because they were speaking Chinese, Zhang Yongxiang's relatives and friends were deeply moved.

Xu You said, "As you can see, this is the United Nations headquarters. It's usually very busy. If our association were to apply for three hours to hold an awards ceremony like this, we probably wouldn't be able to manage the time. Right now, the whole world is shrouded in the shadow of the economic crisis, there's unrest in Indonesia, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has broken out in the Middle East, and there's also war in Yugoslavia... The United Nations has too many things to do, and various departments have to hold meetings every day to study global events."

"That's it!"

Zhang Yongxiang was filled with awe.

It really is the United Nations!
They deal with major international issues related to world peace!
Xu You nodded and said, "These are special times. It's already quite an achievement that we were able to secure the UN headquarters auditorium as the venue for the awards ceremony. It's just that we can't schedule it all. So we've decided to present awards to each winning company separately, with each ceremony taking half an hour. The UN can also make the arrangements."

"Yes, yes, I understand! I understand!"

When Zhang Yongxiang heard him say that, he understood why the current awards ceremony was so shabby.

It turns out to be a stopgap measure during a special period.

"It's good that Mr. Zhang understands." Xu You smiled. "Then let's not waste any more time and start the awards ceremony... Let me introduce you first. This is Mr. Thomas, the chairman of our United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association. He is from Slovenia and he will be presenting you with the award in a moment."

"Hello, Mr. Chairman!"

Zhang Yongxiang shook hands with the bearded actor with a slightly awkward expression.

The others, seeing that there were cameras recording the scene, also realized the seriousness of the occasion and felt quite uneasy.

Standing far to the side.

A Caucasian woman in an evening gown, holding a wired microphone, walked onto the stage with a beaming smile: "Respected leaders, distinguished guests, and friends, good afternoon!"

Zhou Haoran's expression turned strange after hearing this.

Who wrote these words?
Producer Xu You and director Yang Zihua are acting recklessly.

Fortunately, they were speaking in English.

Zhang Yongxiang couldn't understand.

I only noticed the speakers next to the podium; the sound was coming from there.

He sighed inwardly.

The United Nations uses such inexpensive equipment to maintain world peace, which is truly frugal.

"Now, I announce... the winner of the Gold Award at the 2nd Global Winter Wear Showcase organized by the United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association..." The female emcee deliberately raised her head, glanced at Zhang Yongxiang, and drawled out the name, "Nanji Ren!"

Then, a majestic background sound rang out.

Mr. Thomas, the chairman of the judging panel, went up on stage, and another Black woman in a suit, who was the secretary-general of the association, also went up on stage to present the award.

Zhang Yongxiang took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He straightened his tie and then strode confidently onto the podium.

Congratulations! You've got a lot to say!

The Black woman was the first to present the certificates.

"Thank you!"

Knowing there were cameras on site, Zhang Yongxiang tried his best to stand up straight, feeling that he could not bow down in front of foreigners and lose national dignity. He held his head high and remained neither humble nor arrogant.

Then, he walked up to Chairman Thomas.

I was immediately drawn to the trophy in his hand.

This is a crystal trophy.

The design is beautiful and very artistic.

In particular, the trophy has a line of gold English text engraved on the bottom – NanJiren.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Zhang Yongxiang accepted the trophy with both hands and raised it high, as the flashbulbs on the scene went off incessantly.

Next, we took a formal group photo.

Two leaders from the United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association stood on either side, while Zhang Yongxiang stood in the middle, holding the certificate open in front of his chest with his left hand and raising the trophy high with his right.

He stood in the center of the stage and became the focus of the entire audience!

This gave Zhang Yongxiang a feeling of exhilaration, as if he had reached the most glorious moment of his life!
Unfortunately, this is a special time for the United Nations, so the awards ceremony was held in a simplified manner and there were too few people present.

It would be great if there were an audience.

But it doesn't matter. Zhang Yongxiang had already imagined the cheers he would receive when he returned home after receiving the award. He was representing the country in the competition and had won the gold medal!

There was thunderous applause.

The camera flash kept blinking.

This is not over yet.

Next, all the staff members of the United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association present came up on stage. There were more than 20 of them, standing on both sides and surrounding Zhang Yongxiang in the middle for a group photo.

This gave Zhang Yongxiang an even greater sense of pride in bringing glory to the country.

Stop talking about him.

His relatives and friends in the audience were also flushed, some even with tears in their eyes. They were so excited!

Thinking about the slander and defamation that Antarcticians have suffered over the past month, and the despicable tactics employed by their competitors... at this moment, the sacred glory of the UN award seems to have cleansed away all the gloom.

And behind all of this is one person—Mr. Da!

This is all about Mr. Da's connections and operations!
so amazing!

At the scene, Zhang Yongxiang's wife arrived, her gaze towards Zhou Haoran filled with affection. Zhang Yongxiang's sister also arrived, her gaze towards Zhou Haoran filled with affection as well.

A man should be like this!
Next came the acceptance speech.

Zhang Yongxiang, full of vigor, walked to the podium where he often spoke at the United Nations General Assembly, a podium he had seen on international news television. He was incredibly excited, and his face beamed with pride.

Magnificent and passionate—

"Distinguished delegates and colleagues:

Standing beneath the United Nations, this beacon of human civilization, and receiving this weighty award, I would like to express my feelings at this moment with three keywords:

In awe.

Behind this gold medal lies the tireless dedication of countless Chinese industrial workers, the vibrant spirit of textile factories in the Yangtze River Delta, and the tireless efforts of countless peers across the global industrial chain. We thank the judging panel for recognizing the culmination of five thousand years of wisdom in the Chinese textile industry's thermal clothing sector.

temperature.

When Antarctic thermal underwear becomes a second skin for countless consumers worldwide, and when our regenerated fiber technology reduces carbon emissions by 32% per garment—the clothing industry has never been just a business, but a thermometer connecting humanity with nature.

committed to.

Under the initiative of the United Nations Garment Industry Promotion Association, we will donate all the prize money to Africa, because a true gold medal should reflect the color of the equatorial sun!
Finally, please allow me to speak on behalf of my country…

This speech was revised again and again.

It has been revised multiple times.

I originally wrote a long thank you note to Zhou Haoran, but he deleted it all after reading it.

This article will be widely reported in China later.

It is not advisable to leave behind tainted evidence.

Is there any bonus?

Qiao Hai was somewhat surprised.

Zhou Haoran said, "No, there was no bonus, and no donation."

Qiao Hai's expression was strange. "It's obviously Dongfang Lang's doing. He's the only one who likes to come up with these kinds of bad ideas."

Zhou Haoran cleared his throat and frowned, saying, "This is a United Nations awards ceremony, be serious!"

"Uh……"

Qiao Hai looked around and saw that Dongfang Lang and Ji Yingyang were both engrossed in their work, their eyes shining brightly, as if they were really participating in a United Nations grand prize competition.

"Okay, they're all talented actors."

Qiao Hai secretly admired them, thinking that these people's acting skills were no worse than those of the professional actors on stage.

Finally, Zhang Yongxiang delivered his acceptance speech.

The whole audience applauded!

A round of enthusiastic applause!

Staff members from the United Nations Apparel Industry Promotion Association came forward one by one to shake hands or hug Zhang Yongxiang, congratulating and thanking him. The scene was lively and touching.

Zhang Yongxiang was almost in tears.

From now on, Mr. Zhang is also someone who has delivered a keynote speech in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations Headquarters!
At that moment, UN staff arrived.

He looked displeased.

Xu You quickly ran over and made some brief negotiations.

It turns out the commotion here was too loud.

It caused dissatisfaction.

Moreover, the time has come.

This is the "VIP group" in the tourism project.

After the "VIP group" tour ends, ordinary tourists can buy tickets to enter and visit normally.

To avoid a collision, we need to finish quickly.

Xu You walked over with a serious expression and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhang, the United Nations is urging us to finish quickly. They want to use the Great Hall of the People to discuss solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

"Huh?" Zhang Yongxiang's expression changed. "Then let's end it here. We can't let this interfere with important UN matters!"

Zhou Haoran stepped forward and waved, "Alright, Mr. Zhang, let's go first. Let the UN handle the finishing touches. Let's hurry and avoid running into the UN staff to prevent any misunderstandings."

Zhang Yongxiang remembered the "classified" requirement he had been reminded of before they arrived, and a chill ran down his spine. "Right, right, let's go!"

Then, he took the trophy and certificate.

They left in a hurry.

We left the United Nations building.

Zhang Yongxiang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a surge of exhilarating joy: "The era of the Antarctic people has arrived!"

Qiao Hai's expression was strange.

Ji Yingyang's lips curled slightly.

Dongfang Lang laughed heartily, "Congratulations! Congratulations, President Zhang! It's time for Antarctic to take off!"
