Huayu: This director specializes in promoting young actresses.

The recipient of Chapter 114 is—Tian Xiwei

At 5 p.m., Lin Feng's plane landed at the airport. As soon as he got back to his residence, Li Yitong called him via video.

"Boss, you're home?"

"Hmm." Lin Feng leaned back on the sofa, took off his shoes, and said, "Nothing much today, right?"

"No," Li Yitong stuck out her tongue, "It's just that—Gulinaza asked me about you today."

"Ignore her." Lin Feng frowned. "Let her mess around on her own."

"Okay, I know," Li Yitong said with a smile. "Boss, I've caused you so much trouble by visiting the set today. How about I accept the punishment?"

"Oh? How do you want to punish me?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

Li Yitong suddenly leaned closer to the camera and meowed twice: "Meow~ Well, that depends on how Master handles it~"

"You naughty little kitten." Lin Feng was amused by her, and his irritation dissipated a lot. "I'll deal with you when you finish filming and come back."

For the next two days, Raymond Lam threw himself into his work. On the 22nd, he finished revising the final post-production version of the TV series, and on the morning of the 23rd, he held a meeting to discuss the script direction for the next series.

Around 3 PM, my phone buzzed with a message from Tian Xiwei: "[Feng-ge! I've finished military training! Just got on the bus back to school!]"

Raymond Lam was a little surprised: "Wasn't it supposed to end on the 26th?"

[Who knows, the previous post was wrong~] Tian Xiwei sent a smug emoji, [Haha, aren't you surprised?]

"That's quite a surprise," Lin Feng replied with a smile. "Perfect timing, I'll take you to the Hundred Flowers Awards tomorrow."

【Yay!】 Tian Xi replied instantly, followed by a string of complaints: 【Military training is so tough! Standing at attention every day, the food is awful, there's not even a decent dish! And that instructor, he's so fierce, he yells at us every day————】

Lin Feng looked at her message and could almost see her pouting and complaining at her phone, and couldn't help but laugh. 【Alright, alright, I know you've suffered. After you drop off your things at school, I'll treat you guys to hot pot, and bring your roommates too.】

[Yay! Long live Brother Feng!]

Less than two minutes later, Tian Xiwei posted a message in the dormitory group: [Sisters! Feng is treating us to hot pot! Pack your things and meet us outside the school gate!]

Zhou Ye replied instantly: 【Wow! Sister Wei is awesome!】

Lü Xiaomeng: [Great! I want to eat ten plates of meat!]

Liu Haochun: [(Smiling emoji)]

Liu Haochun looked at his phone, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart. He hadn't seen Feng Ge for over half a month; he wondered how he was doing.

Half an hour later, the four girls rushed out of the dormitory building with their bags and took a taxi straight to the hot pot restaurant they had visited before. As soon as they entered, Tian Xiwei spotted Lin Feng in the corner, looking down at his phone. She recognized him even from a distance.

"Brother Feng!" she called out, running over quickly and hugging his neck from behind. "I've missed you so much!"

It's been over ten days since we last contacted each other. Do you miss me?

"I want to, I want you to let go, you're choking me." Lin Feng laughed as he pried her hands off, stood up, and greeted Liu Haochun and the others, "Haochun, Zhou Ye, Xiaomeng, long time no see."

"Hello, Brother Feng!" the three said in unison.

"Let's get the food first," Lin Feng pointed to the self-service area. "Eat whatever you want today, it's on me." He specially ordered a hot pot with two broths.

Tian Xiwei was the first to rush to get the food; her plate was piled high with sliced beef, tripe, and shrimp paste—all her favorites. "After more than ten days of military training, my mouth is practically tasteless; I have to eat my fill today!"

"Brother Feng, have you been busy lately?" Liu Haochun couldn't help but ask as the pot boiled.

"I'm alright, just finished a project." Lin Feng poured her a glass of plum juice. "You guys must be exhausted from military training, right? Did you get a tan?"

"No!" Tian Xiwei immediately puffed out her chest. "Everyone in my dorm is naturally beautiful; they never get tanned!"

Zhou Ye and Lü Xiaomeng nodded in agreement, while Liu Haochun smiled sheepishly.

"Really?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to examine Tian Xiwei. "Why do I think your neck is a bit dark?"

"No way!" Tian Xiwei raised her hand to shield her neck. "It's a lighting issue!"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere instantly became lively. Several girls took turns complaining about embarrassing things that happened during military training.

Lin Feng listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few words, and served them food and drinks.

"By the way, Brother Feng," Tian Xi asked, munching on a shrimp paste, "what time are we leaving for the Hundred Flowers Awards tomorrow?"

"Let's go after lunch," Raymond Lam said. "The red carpet event is at 7 pm, let's get ready early."

"Yay! Then I can sleep in this morning!" Tian Xi clapped her hands happily.

Looking at her excited expression, Liu Haochun felt a little envious.

At noon on September 24th, Lin Feng's convoy slowly drove out of the residential area. The driver, Lao Wang, held the steering wheel steadily. In the passenger seat was Xiao Chen, the makeup assistant, and in the back seat were Lin Feng, Tian Xiwei, and Lin Feng's senior, Zhou Ming.

"Senior brother, thank you for coming all this way with us." Lin Feng handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite with me? This is your first time attending such a large awards ceremony. I'll show you around so you don't say the wrong thing."

Tian Xiwei sat next to him, wearing a red off-shoulder dress. She secretly glanced at Lin Feng, who was wearing a black suit and white shirt. His profile was sharp, which made her heart beat a little faster.

"Still thinking about what happened this morning?" Lin Feng noticed her little movements and asked with a low laugh.

Tian Xi blushed slightly: "No way!" When she was choosing a dress this morning, she picked a strapless one, but Lin Feng insisted that she change into this one-shoulder one, saying that it was "too revealing."

"He clearly doesn't want others to see it," she secretly thought to herself, yet a sweet feeling welled up inside her. He only acted this way because he cared.

On the bus, Tian Xi leaned against the window looking at the scenery, then suddenly excitedly patted Lin Feng's arm: "Brother Feng! Are we going to see a lot of celebrities? I really like Teacher Yang!"

"Yes, quite a few seniors will be coming." Lin Feng nodded. "Tell me who you want to see, and I'll put in a good word for you."

"Can we really take a photo together?"

"As long as they have time."

"Then—can I win an award?" she suddenly asked in a low voice, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her skirt.

Lin Feng turned to look at her, his eyes serious: "Of course you can. Our Xiao Tian is so amazing, you're definitely the best newcomer."

In fact, he knew what was going on. "Take My Brother Away" was nominated for three awards, but he had little chance of winning Best Film and Best Screenplay. However, he was almost certain to win Best Newcomer, as Tian Xiwei's performance in the film was outstanding.

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words." Tian Xiwei blushed at his praise, but felt much more at ease.

After driving for more than two hours, we arrived at the Nanhu International Convention and Exhibition Center at 3 p.m. sharp. There were already many fans and reporters around, and it was noisy outside the cordon.

"Let's go to the lounge to grab a bite to eat first; we'll probably be busy until midnight." Lin Feng pulled Tian Xiwei's hand and led her inside, avoiding the cameras. Xiao Chen followed behind carrying her makeup case, while Zhou Ming went to greet the staff.

There were some small cakes and fruits in the lounge. Tian Xiwei picked up a piece of strawberry mousse and ate it in small bites: "Brother Feng, do you think I'll walk with my arms and legs moving in unison when we walk the red carpet later?"

"No way, didn't you say you were pretty good at standing at attention during military training?" Lin Feng teased her.

"You're so annoying!" Tian Xi slapped him lightly, but couldn't help laughing. The tension seemed to dissipate a little with that slap.

With some time before entering the venue, the two simply sat on the sofa and played games. Tian Xiwei played mid lane, and Lin Feng played jungle; their teamwork was excellent, and they won two games in a row.

"Wow, Feng, your skills have improved in a while." Tian Xi waved her phone slightly.

"I played a couple of extra games when I had nothing else to do." Lin Feng put away his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "It's about time, let's get ready to go in."

At 4:56 PM, at the entrance to the red carpet, the host's voice rang out clearly: "Next up is the cast and crew of the movie 'Take My Brother Away,' director and lead actor Raymond Lam, and lead actress Tian Xiwei!"

The spotlight shone down, and Lin Feng took a deep breath, took Tian Xiwei's hand, which was trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, follow me," he whispered.

Tian Xi nodded slightly and looked up at him. His profile looked particularly calm under the light, and the hand he held in hers was warm and strong. Suddenly, she felt less flustered.

The two walked side by side down the red carpet, both dressed in black suits and red tuxedos, a striking sight. Cheers erupted instantly, and camera shutters clicked incessantly.

Wow! Raymond Lam is so handsome!

"Tian Xiwei looks so beautiful in this dress! Red suits her so well!"

"These two look so good together! Their chemistry is amazing!"

The screams of the fans rose and fell, and Tian Xi couldn't help but smile, waving at the camera. Lin Feng also nodded slightly, with a perfectly timed smile on his face.

Upon reaching the interview area, reporters bombarded him with questions like cannonballs: "Director Lin, were you nervous participating in the Hundred Flowers Awards for the first time?"

"Tian Xiwei, are you confident about winning the award?"

"I heard your movie did very well at the box office. Do you have any plans to collaborate next?"

"It's alright, I'm quite honored." Lin Feng took the microphone and said succinctly, "Thank you all for supporting 'Take My Brother Away,' I'll talk about the rest later." He knew the interview only had five minutes and he couldn't ramble on.

Tian Xiwei also smiled and said, "I'm very happy to be nominated, and I hope for a good result."

After exchanging only a few words, it was the next group's turn to enter. The two smiled, waved, and walked into the inner area.

"There were so many shots just now," Tian Xiwei stuck out her tongue. "My face is stiff from smiling so much."

"It's fine, natural." Lin Feng straightened her slightly crooked shoulder strap.

Quite a few people had already arrived in the lounge. Zhou Ming was talking to a few middle-aged men when he saw them come in. He quickly waved them over and said, "Ah Feng, Xiao Tian, come and get acquainted. This is Director Guan from 'Mr. Six,' and this is Director Cao from 'The Dead End.'"

"Hello, Director Guan, hello, Director Cao." Lin Feng quickly extended his hand, his attitude respectful. These two were both seniors from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department, industry titans.

"Oh, this must be Kobayashi? You're quite the young talent." Director Guan smiled and shook hands. "I've seen both of your movies; you're a promising young man."

"You flatter me too much. I still have a lot to learn from you." Lin Feng adopted a very humble attitude.

Director Cao nodded, "Take My Brother Away was well done. The emotions were captured accurately, and the young girl's performance was also excellent." He looked at Tian Xiwei, "Keep up the good work, she's a promising talent."

"Thank you, Director Cao!" Tian Xi blushed with excitement and quickly bowed.

Zhou Ming then introduced them to other film crews, including Director Wu from "Mojin: The Lost Legend" and several veteran actors.

Everyone treated Lin Feng with great politeness. After all, this young man had achieved so much at such a young age, with a net worth of billions and his own company; no one dared to underestimate him. Those who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy felt an extra sense of familiarity with him.

The awards ceremony was brightly lit, and the cast and crew of "Take My Brother Away" were seated in the third row.

As soon as Tian Xiwei sat down, she instinctively grabbed Lin Feng's arm, her palms sweaty. "Brother Feng, I'm so nervous." They were surrounded by big stars, people she usually only saw on screen, now so close.

"Relax, just think of it as watching the fun." Raymond Lam patted the back of her hand. "You seemed pretty calm when you greeted Director Cao just now, didn't you?"

"That's an act!" Tian Xi said in a low voice, "His legs were shaking."

Lin Feng was amused by her and was about to say something more when the host walked onto the stage and the awards ceremony began.

The first award presented was for Best Supporting Actor, and the winner was a young actor. Next was Best Supporting Actress. When the results were announced, the audience was a bit quiet. The winner was a popular young actress whose work had only received mediocre reviews, and many people scoffed at her privately.

"Next up is the Best Newcomer Award!" The host's voice came through the microphone, and the entire audience fell silent instantly.

The big screen began playing clips of the nominees. Tian Xiwei (from "Take My Brother Away") flashed by, looking at Raymond Lam in the distance with red eyes, saying, "Brother, you left me behind." Her expression was touching and real.

Tian Xiwei's heart was pounding as if it would explode. Her eyes were fixed on the stage, and the sweat on her palms soaked Lin Feng's suit sleeves.

"The winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the 33rd Hundred Flowers Awards is—" The presenter opened the envelope, paused, and read out the name, "Tian Xiwei, who played Shi Miao in 'Take My Brother Away'!"

Instantly, the entire audience erupted in applause.

Tian Xiwei's mind went blank, as if it had been paused. The cheers and applause from the crowd became blurry. She stared blankly at the stage for three seconds before she suddenly came to her senses.

"I—I won an award?" She turned to Pilin Peak, her eyes wide and glistening with tears.

"Yes, you won an award." Lin Feng smiled and ruffled her hair, his voice gentle. "Go on stage."

Tian Xiwei suddenly hugged his neck, her voice choked with emotion, "Brother Feng! I really won an award!"

The spotlight shone on them, and the live stream camera captured the moment: the girl excitedly hugged the man beside her, her face beaming with joy, while the man looked down at her, his eyes filled with doting affection.

The live chat exploded with comments: "Ahhh, what an amazing interaction!"

"Feng Ge and Pi Xiaotian's eyes are so sweet!"

"I knew Oda would win! He truly deserves it!"

"Go quickly, everyone's busy." Lin Feng patted her back and wiped away her tears.

Tian Xi sniffed slightly, nodded, straightened her dress, took a deep breath, and strode towards the stage. The spotlight followed her all the way. She reached the center of the stage, shook hands with the award presenter, and accepted the heavy trophy and certificate, her fingers trembling.

Standing in front of the microphone, she looked at the densely packed audience below, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I had prepared a speech, but I was too excited just now and forgot everything—"

A warm laugh rang out from the audience, followed by applause. Tian Xi glanced at the familiar figure in the third row; he was smiling at her, his eyes full of encouragement. Suddenly, she tensed up, gripped the trophy tightly, and began her acceptance speech.
