Chapter 313 The Award Ceremony for the Top Ten Provinces
After leaving school, Zeng Wenjie went into Feng Xiao's rented apartment and changed into the formal attire that was there.

He doesn't really like wearing suits; he always feels like he's selling insurance...

However, attending such an important occasion without a formal suit would be somewhat inappropriate.

A suit is a bit too light for this season, so Zeng Wenjie wore a warm overcoat over it.

Wearing a sharp black suit, sunglasses given to him by Xue Xiangyao, and driving a spotlessly clean Audi A8, Zeng Wenjie felt more like Jason Statham. However, he had too much hair, so he couldn't pull off the balding tough guy look.

Upon arriving at the award ceremony location, Zeng Wenjie got out of the car, showed his pass, and entered.

The awards ceremony started at 10:30 a.m. and lasted about an hour and a half. We had lunch at the hotel at 12:00 p.m.

"Wenjie?!"

Zeng Wenjie suddenly heard a gasp.

Turning my head, I saw Senior Sister Yuan with her pass hanging around her neck.

Zeng Wenjie was taken aback and asked, "Why is Senior Sister Yuan here?"

Yuan Xiuqin picked up her pass and waved it, saying, "This is a task assigned by the school. I'm the president of the photography club and also a campus reporter. I need to take some photos and then go back to write campus news."

Being named one of the Ten Outstanding Youths is a prestigious title, and Chongqing University, as the top university in Chongqing Province, will definitely seize this opportunity to generate some news and inspire its students.

In fact, many graduates of Chongqing University have received this title over the years.

However, there are no students like Zeng Wenjie who are currently enrolled, let alone Zeng Wenjie, who is an exceptionally talented freshman!

"Wenjie, what are you doing here?" Yuan Xiuqin asked with a smile, tilting her head.

Before she knew it, she had quietly grown closer to this junior from the Fengyuan Academy in how she addressed him.

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I'm here to accept the award! Senior, since you're a campus reporter, haven't you been paying attention to the list of winners?"

Yuan Xiuqin was startled upon hearing this, and her eyes widened.

She hadn't actually paid attention to the list of winners. After all, although the award was very prestigious, not many people actually paid attention to it!
I'm just here today as part of a formality arranged by the school; I never expected any of the award winners to be acquaintances of mine.

"It seems I'm ignorant!" Yuan Xiuqin said with a wry smile.

"Haha, it's okay, I don't mind letting you take a few more handsome photos later," Zeng Wenjie said.

“But our school would probably mind,” Yuan Xiuqin joked.

“That hurts,” Zeng Wenjie said.

This is the absolute truth. As a top-tier university, Chongqing University was not included in this year's Top Ten Outstanding Universities list. Not only were there no current students, but there wasn't a single one associated with them.

Zeng Wenjie, a mere freshman from the School of Physical Education...

It would be absurd if the school leaders of such an important institution were willing to report on it extensively! Wouldn't that be like slapping themselves in the face?
However, even if they don't report it, they'll definitely be thoroughly disgusted by their colleagues in the education sector.

"Look at the students from the School of Wind and Rain, they're only freshmen and they've already won the Top Ten Outstanding Awards! And you? You haven't won anything."

Yuan Xiuqin covered her mouth and laughed, her laughter creating a surging, rather impressive wave.

As one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, Zeng Wenjie kept his eyes straight ahead, only looking where he needed to look, and expressed his gratitude for the gift from senior student Da Yuan.

Then, a leader who knew Zeng Wenjie came up.

Yuan Xiuqin could only tactfully step aside, feeling a mixture of envy and admiration. She was just a freshman, yet she had accomplished something that countless college students dreamed of!

She couldn't help but send Qin Yixuan a message: "Xuan, Zeng Wenjie is going to receive the award for one of the province's top ten outstanding youths today!"

Qin Yixuan was somewhat shocked upon receiving the message. After a moment, she replied, "It's not surprising, considering his remarkable entrepreneurial achievements and his role in helping the provincial government launch 'The Voice of China.' Moreover, Zhuang Aimin is his backer." Yuan Xiuqin, however, thought differently and retorted sharply, "If he didn't have the ability, Mr. Zhuang wouldn't have been able to promote him!"

Qin Yixuan admitted, "That's true."

Yuan Xiuqin asked, "When are you going back to Chongshan? We can arrange a gathering."

Qin Yixuan replied, "I think there will be an opportunity to be arranged to come to Chongshan to do some interviews."

Yuan Xiuqin exclaimed, "You have a bright future ahead of you! Congratulations!"

"Sigh, interns have no rights, and there are so many talented people here, the pressure is immense." Qin Yixuan's reply revealed a hint of negativity.

Yuan Xiuqin envied Qin Yixuan for being able to pass the exam for the General Administration, a unit that countless people dream of working for. However, she did not approve of Qin Yixuan's suddenly elevated tone and attitude, which eventually led to a very strained relationship with Zeng Wenjie.

Yuan Xiuqin had no chance to speak to Zeng Wenjie again. He was surrounded by people from the high-dimensional circle, and the reporters around him were also quite famous.

As a small-time campus reporter, she had no chance of getting into such a circle.

Moreover, she could tell that Zeng Wenjie was very popular, especially among some official leaders who got along very well with him.

Zeng Wenjie, this college student, also performed with ease and composure, always giving people a confident and upright impression, which made people not dare to underestimate him!

Soon, the time is up.

Zeng Wenjie turned around, smiled and waved to Yuan Xiuqin who was not far away, and then walked to the front row of seats to sit down.

"Is he your boyfriend?" A reporter with a slightly gossipy nature couldn't help but ask from beside her.

"No!" Yuan Xiuqin shook her head regretfully, recalling that angelic-looking girl.

The reporter couldn't help but say, "Wow, to win such a big award at such a young age and achieve such a remarkable career, that's incredible! If I were you, I'd give it a try. If I succeeded, it would be perfect."

Yuan Xiuqin blushed with embarrassment and stopped talking. She then raised her camera and started taking pictures.

The leader went up on stage first and gave a formal speech that no one really wanted to listen to, but everyone was forced to applaud.

Then, the host comes on stage.

Zeng Wenjie sat upright, knowing that this was not a place for him to act frivolously or shamelessly. If some petty old man remembered that, he would have a terrible time in the future! Therefore, it was important to behave properly.

To outsiders, Zeng Wenjie, who is known for his inner monologues, appeared serious, earnest, and resolute at this moment. Coupled with his stylish and handsome hairstyle, many reporters couldn't help but take a few more pictures of him.

Yuan Xiuqin also carefully selected several angles to take a few pictures, planning to export them later to check her photography skills.

Some of the tedious procedures are finally over.

Zeng Wenjie was the sixth person to go on stage to receive the award, neither at the front nor the back, but in the middle.

He's been placed in the middle, but his presence is still quite conspicuous!

Although the age range for this award is relatively broad, it can be anyone between eighteen and forty years old.

but……

Who the hell can win such an awesome prize at just eighteen?
It's true what they say, even a scorpion's poop is poisonous!

Zeng Wenjie looked around and saw that almost everyone who went up on stage to receive an award was in their thirties, either working in the system or in state-owned enterprises, while he was the only college student and small entrepreneur.

Finally, the host called out Zeng Wenjie's name. He stood up and straightened his collar.

Then, with brisk steps, they went up to the award stage.
