Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 503 The Grand Prize is in Hand (6K)

After a follow-up examination, Zeng Wenjie was successfully discharged from the hospital.

His injuries this time might not be as serious as the fight in the KTV last time, but since the situation has escalated so much, he has to make a good show of it.

Principal Gao was the most anxious about his condition, fearing that his prized student might die in Beijing.

Therefore, Zeng Wenjie informed his respected teacher, Professor Gao, as soon as he was discharged from the hospital.

The timing of his discharge was perfect; the very next day was the day of the National Top Ten Outstanding Youth Awards ceremony.

Zeng Wenjie felt that he had really gone through many twists and turns in order to win this award.

The following day, the university president organized students from the School of Wind and Rain to watch the award ceremony.

Mu Qingyang had originally planned to ask for leave to watch it in the dormitory, but he didn't expect the school to make this arrangement. Now that's great, he doesn't have to ask for leave and be a bad student. He can actively participate in the activity.

Zeng Wenjie is quite influential in the School of Physical Education; he receives support from teachers and is well-regarded by most students.

After all, my friend left half of the revenue from "Hero Kill" at Feng Academy, which greatly improved the students' treatment and increased the teachers' bonuses.

The awards ceremony began, and a well-known host from the State Administration of Radio and Television took the stage and gave an opening speech with great emotion.

"Hello, senior!" Mu Qingyang had only been sitting down for a short while when someone called out to her.

Turning her head, she saw it was the freshman girl who had offered her water twice before. So she smiled kindly and said, "Hello, junior."

Shan Yuchan couldn't help but ask, "Is Senior Wenjie one of the top ten winners nationwide this year?"

Mu Qingyang nodded and said happily, "Yes, otherwise Principal Gao wouldn't have organized everyone to come and watch the award ceremony!"

Shan Yuchan opened her mouth, feeling a little envious. How could such a national award be so easy to obtain?

The students from Statistics Class 2 also arrived in a boisterous manner, each striding with an air of nonchalance, as if they were the ones who had won the award.

In fact, almost everyone in the statistics department thinks they're pretty awesome.

There's nothing we can do, what can we do when Zeng Wenjie is so awesome?

"Xiao Mu, congratulations! Your boyfriend won another award!" Lin Zhenshan walked over and said to Mu Qingyang.

"Hey boss, congratulations! Your little brother won another award!" Mu Qingyang replied with a smile.

Lin Zhenshan burst into laughter and said, "It's really something to be happy about. Even my parents know about him and want me to learn from him."

Mu Qingyang said, "Then tell me he skips class every day to do business and make money, and see if your parents will still let you study with him."

Lin Zhenshan said, "If I could make this much money by skipping classes to do business, my parents would definitely agree!"

Li Jiaqiang walked up, coughed, and said, "What do you mean by skipping class? This is called a normal leave. Wenjie has already finished the coursework for the next two years, so the school gave him leave."

"..."

The students were speechless.

Sure enough, you're amazing. No matter what outrageous thing you do, there will always be a great scholar to defend you.

On the screen, the ten winners entered one after another, and the camera panned to the past.

The live broadcast was met with enthusiastic applause, and when the camera panned to Zeng Wenjie, it froze on the screen, and the audience at Fengyuan cheered loudly.

The three handsome guys from 621 shouted the loudest, as if they were the ones who had won the award.

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but clap her hands repeatedly, a happy smile spreading across her face.

Zeng Wenjie's shot was comparable to the shot Kobe received when the US team entered the stadium at this year's future Olympics, as it was given a relatively long period of time, clearly setting him apart from the other nine award winners.

There was no way around it; the General Administration favored him, a favor that no one else could match.

Zeng Wenjie waved at the camera, dressed in a formal suit, wearing a tie and a tie clip given to him by Mu Qingyang. He looked very energetic, but there was still an unhealed wound on his head.

Ouyang Yun said, "You've been disfigured again!"

Jiang Yu said, "Yunzi, what do you know? This is what it means to be manly."

Ouyang Yun glanced at him with a sneer and said, "Manliness my ass! If Cao Feng were as rich as him, do you think Cao Feng would also find him manly?!"

Chu Qingbai sneered and said, "Isn't Cao Feng quite manly? He threw a pack of cigarettes on my table, how dashing!"

Jiang Yu covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "That seems to make a lot of sense!"

Mu Qingyang regretted that she was unable to go to Yanjing to take care of him when he was injured.

Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted, and the host continued speaking, giving a vivid and engaging introduction to the ten award winners.

A lengthy introduction will only be given when each award recipient goes on stage individually.

This kind of national award has a very high-class live broadcast, with big names and countless celebrities gathering.

"Now, let's welcome our first award winner, a sophomore from Fengcheng College in Fengzhou City, Chongshan Province, who is also the most famous college student entrepreneur..."

Zeng Wenjie was directly arranged to be the first to appear. When his name was called, he immediately stood up from his seat and walked steadily toward the stage.

"Mr. Zeng Wenjie, or rather, my classmate, is not only a college student entrepreneur, but also the first person to help develop the tourism industry in his hometown, the first person to promote the culture of ethnic minorities in Chongshan Province to the world, and the founder of the two pure leagues, 'Village BA' and 'Village Super'... Let us welcome him to the stage to receive the award with the warmest applause!" The host exclaimed in a high-spirited and emotional tone.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, and the camera focused on Zeng Wenjie.

With a calm smile on his face, the young man walked up the steps to the center of the stage, one hand hanging naturally at his side and the other resting on the button of his suit jacket.

After getting to the center of the stage, Zeng Wenjie immediately shook hands with the host.

The host said, "Welcome, may I ask how you're feeling right now?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm very excited, very happy, and also a little ashamed."

The host said, "Now, please calm down and introduce yourself to the audience across the country."

After the required procedures were completed, a senior leader came on stage to present the award to Zeng Wenjie.

After receiving the trophy, Zeng Wenjie warmly shook hands with the leaders, and was then kept on stage by the host to give his acceptance speech.

"Actually, after I learned that I had won the award, I prepared a lot of acceptance speeches and thought carefully about what to say on such a stage. Later, I thought that I should say what I most wanted to say and thank the people I should thank the most..."

Zeng Wenjie spoke slowly.

Instead of thanking his superiors for their guidance, he sincerely said, "I want to thank my parents for giving me life and bringing me into this world. I also want to thank them for their hard work in raising me and for their discipline."

“My father used to say that he didn’t need me to earn a lot of money or do anything big. His only requirement for me was that I not become a person who would harm society.”

"I keep this in mind so that I can firmly uphold the bottom line of my life, spur myself to pursue integrity, and be a law-abiding person who strives to create value for society and the country."

"..."

His acceptance speech surprised the leaders in the audience.

I thought Zeng Wenjie was going to give another speech, which was as usual but refreshing and thought-provoking. However, he talked most about his parents' education of him.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Then, I also want to thank my girlfriend, Mu Qingyang! I am so glad that I met her, and she is willing to support me in doing anything I want to do."

"Wow!"

The scene at Fengyuan was in an uproar. No one expected Zeng Wenjie to be so awesome, actually confessing his love to Mu Qingyang on CCTV, which was broadcast live nationwide.

Mu Qingyang was stunned on the spot. Her face, which was not usually prone to blushing, instantly turned red. She felt as if everyone's eyes were focused on her.

She didn't lower her head, but simply pursed her lips and stared at the screen as if nothing was wrong.

"I'm so envious!"

Chu Qingbai couldn't help but mutter something.

Girls probably think the same way she does.

This inevitably leads to a bit of criticism directed at a certain childhood sweetheart, who was filled with regret and even thought that she should have been the one thanked by Zeng Wenjie.

Zeng Wenjie only mentioned it briefly. He wanted to say more about Mu Qingyang, but the occasion was not appropriate, and there was no point in saying more.

Immediately afterwards, he skillfully and subtly flattered the leaders and teachers of the Fengyuan Academy.

Professor Ge was so excited he was trembling all over, his face flushed and neck bulging. He grabbed Dean Gao's arm and exclaimed, "Old Gao! Old Gao! Did you hear that? Wenjie is thanking me, his mentor, for my guidance, thanking me in front of the whole nation... Aww!"

"Hehehe... He heard it, and he thanked me! He'll take this news to Old Mo and play it on repeat." Principal Gao had a sinister smile on his face.

It was unusual for Zeng Wenjie to give his usual grand speech on this occasion, which made those familiar with his style feel a little uneasy, but they also felt that his acceptance speech was sincere and touching.

The leaders agreed that it was perfectly reasonable; after all, who wasn't born of parents? It's only right to express gratitude to one's parents for raising and nurturing one.

Amidst applause, Zeng Wenjie walked off the stage with the trophy in his hand, then breathed a sigh of relief.

This speech was given on a whim, and it truly reflected his thoughts.

Having won such a prestigious award, he deserves to be proud of his family.

The flush on Mu Qingyang's face subsided, and she let out a soft breath before patting her cheeks with her palm.

She didn't actually offer Zeng Wenjie any help or support; on the contrary, Zeng Wenjie was the one who took care of her, helping her overcome her self-consciousness and low self-esteem, and become more cheerful and outgoing.

However, Zeng Wenjie mentioning her on such an important occasion made her feel very happy.

This is a memory worth cherishing for a lifetime, even more profound than the time I climbed a mountain in Wushui County to watch the sunrise.

"This is what Mom meant by being cherished!" Mu Qingyang thought happily.

Ouyang Yun coughed and asked, "Boss lady, today is a day worth celebrating, how about treating everyone to dinner?" Mu Qingyang said, "Yes, absolutely! Today I'm treating everyone to seafood, anyone who wants to come can sign up."

Seafood isn't cheap, and Mu Qingyang is going to host a large-scale banquet; he'll probably have to spend a lot of money.

However, she was happy.

A thousand pieces of gold can't buy my happiness!

The next nine winners also took to the stage one after another, and Zeng Wenjie was undoubtedly the youngest winner.

But these nine people have a much broader perspective than the previous top ten in the province. They don't exclude Zeng Wenjie at all, and even praise and encourage him.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh to himself. Those guys who were sarcastic towards him last year must be so angry they'd vomit blood if they saw this scene.

Especially that Mediterranean, what was it called again? He'd forgotten.

The Chong Shan provincial government also breathed a sigh of relief after the award ceremony. They had been pushing Zeng Wenjie to become a flagship figure, and wasn't that exactly what they were aiming for today?

Zeng Wenjie's rise to fame and fortune has also brought them immense benefits.

"If Ninth Master were still here, he would be very happy to see this," Zeng Wenjie thought to himself.

Only after the awards ceremony ended did Zeng Wenjie turn on his phone, ignoring the other messages, and make a call to Mu Qingyang.

After answering the call, Mu Qingyang said happily, "Congratulations! You're the number one outstanding youth in the country!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "What do you mean, 'first place'? That's the top ten, don't talk nonsense!"

Mu Qingyang said, "In my heart, you are number one, so what? Hmph!"

Zeng Wenjie immediately laughed and said, "Okay, then you can call me that in private. Anyway, I'm happy to hear it."

Mu Qingyang said, "You shouldn't have mentioned me. It would make some leaders with more conservative thinking feel uncomfortable."

Zeng Wenjie retorted, "I don't care, I'm going to mention you. In my heart, you're number one! What does it matter whether others are comfortable or not?"

Mu Qingyang felt a surge of happiness and said, "Alright, you've given everyone a chance to take advantage of me. I'm going to treat everyone to seafood today. Will you reimburse me?"

“It must be reimbursed.” Zeng Wenjie laughed. “But you should eat more; you can’t be shortchanged.”

Mu Qingyang asked, "When are you coming back? I miss you so much!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "After receiving the award, I will have to visit some leaders one after another. It will take at most two days. I will be back in two days."

Mu Qingyang said cheerfully, "Okay, don't forget to bring me a gift."

Whenever Zeng Wenjie went to other places, he would bring her back some local items, which made Mu Qingyang, whose greatest hobby was receiving gifts, very happy.

Zeng Wenjie didn't spend much time in Yanjing; a lot of work was waiting for him to go back and handle.

After returning to Fengzhou with Feng Xiao, Zeng Wenjie started thinking about hiring a bodyguard. He couldn't stay in Fengzhou indefinitely without making any moves. He would need a bodyguard when he went to other provinces to avoid being attacked again.

Lin Dong's fate serves as a cautionary tale, and it's unlikely anyone would dare to do the same to him again, but it's always good to be on guard.

Upon returning to Fengzhou, Zeng Wenjie did not immediately go to handle work or visit Zhuang Aimin, but instead went to see Mu Qingyang.

He went during class time.

It just so happens to be Lao Ge's class.

Zeng Wenjie appeared at the door, looking fresh and lively, and then said with a smile, "Teacher Ge!"

Professor Ge's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he smiled and said, "Little Zeng is back? Little Mu, he must be looking for you, go ahead."

Upon hearing this, the students felt that Lao Ge was incredibly hypocritical!
Normally, anyone who dares to be late or skip class will face dire consequences, but Zeng Wenjie, upon returning during class time, immediately approved Mu Qingyang's absence?!

Mu Qingyang immediately ran out happily.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Professor Ge calmly said, "What are you looking at? I don't expect you to get into the top ten in the country or the top ten in the province. I can be lenient with you."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost their spirits.

Zeng Wenjie first pulled Mu Qingyang to a secluded corner and kissed her passionately, then laughed and said, "See, I didn't lie to you, did I? I said I'd come back whenever I wanted, and I contacted you right away."

Mu Qingyang's face was flushed, and she looked at him excitedly, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes!"

Then, she reached out and touched the wound on Zeng Wenjie's head, asking, "Does it not hurt anymore?"

"Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Zeng Wenjie said nonchalantly.

Mu Qingyang then asked, "Did you bring the trophy? I'd like to touch it."

Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly and said, "How can you carry it with you all the time? I put it in the car, I'll take you to touch it."

Arriving at the car, I opened the trunk, and sure enough, there was a box containing the trophy. Inside, there was a beautifully crafted trophy.

Mu Qingyang couldn't wait to pick it up, and then played with it repeatedly in his hands, a smile always on his face, and the smile became sweeter and sweeter.

"This trophy is for you," Zeng Wenjie said.

"what?!"

Mu Qingyang's hands trembled upon hearing this, and he almost dropped it to the ground.

Zeng Wenjie gently put his arm around her shoulder and said very gently, "Because I feel that this trophy is more meaningful to you. So, I want to give it to you."

Mu Qingyang quickly said, "It's very valuable, how can I keep it safe?"

"Keeping it in the dorm is definitely not an option, so let's keep it at our house, in your room," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm? That's good. I'll definitely take good care of it and clean off the dust regularly." Mu Qingyang hugged the trophy to his arms.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to show it off to the whole world.

But thinking about it, it seems unnecessary. Who doesn't know that Zeng Wenjie won the award?
Zeng Wenjie looked at Mu Qingyang calmly and said, "At the latest, I will fulfill my promise to Ninth Master by next year."

Mu Qingyang's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Is this really necessary?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded without hesitation. The woman had even come to scold Mu Qingyang because of the foundation's affairs. Although he didn't get the better of her in the end, Zeng Wenjie remembered the incident.

"I'll listen to you." Mu Qingyang smiled.

Zeng Wenjie snapped his fingers and said, "Once we graduate, let's become a real family!"

Mu Qingyang was momentarily confused, tilting his head and asking, "What does it mean to be a true family?"

“I’m not calling you ‘Little Mu’ anymore, I’m calling you ‘wife.’ Doesn’t that make us family?” Zeng Wenjie said, arms crossed, trying to look cool.

Mu Qingyang was stunned, then blushed and said shyly, "You can try calling it that now... Well, I'm mainly worried that you won't be used to it, so you can practice first and get used to it."

Zeng Wenjie burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Really, it doesn't really matter what we call you, I'm just worried you might not be used to it," Mu Qingyang said with a serious expression.

Zeng Wenjie, however, was not fooled by her and said, "Hmm, let me think about it! Let's go home first and see which place in your room would be suitable for this trophy."

Mu Qingyang said, "It should be placed where I can see it as soon as I open my eyes!"

She muttered to herself, "A bedside table? That doesn't seem right. I'm easily groggy in the morning, what if I accidentally knock it over!"

Mu Qingyang kept thinking about this throughout the journey.

Back at the villa in Yunhu, Mu Qingyang took the trophy into the room and put it here and there. After a lot of fuss, he finally found a safe, reliable, and conspicuous spot!
"Just leave it here! Can I take a few pictures?" Mu Qingyang asked.

“Of course I’d love to capture the most beautiful moments of Xiao Mu anytime,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Clearly my wife..." Mu Qingyang muttered softly, but he didn't let him hear clearly.

Zeng Wenjie went to get the trophy, and Mu Qingyang, holding the trophy, smiled broadly at him and took several photos.

Then, Mu Qingyang carefully examined the photos Zeng Wenjie had taken for her. Every single one was beautiful, which made her very satisfied.

"From now on, this trophy belongs to me. You are not allowed to touch it without my permission," Mu Qingyang said proudly, holding the trophy.

Zeng Wenjie immediately touched it out of curiosity, which made Mu Qingyang scold him coquettishly.

For Mu Qingyang, this trophy seemed particularly precious and significant because Zeng Wenjie had mentioned her to a national audience on that occasion.

After Mu Qingyang put the trophy back in its original place, Zeng Wenjie sat down with her in his arms and said, "I should have more time to spend with you this year."

Mu Qingyang asked, "Really?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and smiled, "Yes, if we can't expand offline, I won't have to run around. As for online development, I can just remotely direct it. These precious four years of university can't all be about work and career; we also need Xiao Mu!"

Mu Qingyang said, "It seems that what we've done has made us quite hated. I've recently... also received some threatening letters."

Zeng Wenjie frowned and asked, "You received it too?"

Mu Qingyang snorted and said, "I'm not afraid. If they dare to cause me trouble, I'll smash them to death! Besides, I'm not stupid. If things go wrong, I won't bang my head against a brick. I'll definitely run away."

Zeng Wenjie thought the first part of what he said was normal, but then something went wrong!
Enraged, he grabbed Mu Qingyang by the neck and yelled, "Want to die? Apologize right now, or I'll strangle you!"

After a bit of laughter and banter, Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry about the snack shortage. Marlenia definitely won't be able to expand. If it does, it will inevitably face a storm of suppression. Hao You Lai is just starting out and still has a long time to mature before it can expand. This year, I'll give the members of the Fengzhou Business Alliance more ideas so they can develop further..."

Mu Qingyang said in a low voice, "Give priority to those who are willing to treat their employees well."

Zeng Wenjie's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he smiled with narrowed eyes, saying, "How come I didn't think of this idea? You're truly brilliant! This way, we'll have more like-minded people, and our influence will expand..."

Mu Qingyang smiled and said, "Everything will get better slowly, just like when I first met you."
