Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The CEO is Angry
Disappointingly, it was his reaction.
There was no enraged outburst as imagined, no furious cursing as anticipated, and, contrary to everyone’s expectations, he did not storm out on the spot.
Initially, the first recipient of the Rotten Sour Plum Award, still a popular young idol with a gentle, approachable, and courteous public image, turned red the mont he heard his na and kicked his seat violently before leaving, a gesture that was utterly embarrassing to witness.
Logically, soone like Ye Xian, who was highly pretentious and overly dramatic, should have reacted even more violently upon receiving the Rotten Sour Plum Award, but his face remained utterly expressionless, watching the award citation on the big screen as if unaware that he was the awardee, without a trace of sha or humiliation.
[Could it be that Ye Xian hasn’t realized yet?]
[I also feel like he hasn’t realized he has won this kind of award, otherwise, his expression shouldn’t be like this, right?]
[The spotlight is on him, the venue is announcing his na so loudly, and he’s not stupid, how could he not know?]
[My god, his expression is too calm!]
[He seems so composed; why do I feel a bit sorry for him seeing his expressionless face?]
Ye Xian listened attentively to the award citation on the screen, straightened his clothes, and stood up.
“Is he leaving?”
[Is he walking out?]
[So, he hadn’t realized earlier, but now he’s about to leave.]
As Ye Xian stood up, Cary, like everyone else, thought he was leaving. However, Lin Yan seed to have noticed sothing and gently reached out to stop him, “You don’t have to accept this kind of award.”
In the darkness, his eyes sparkled with a glint of concern and sympathy.
But Ye Xian just smiled and said, “No need.”
Then, he pushed Lin Yan’s hand away.
Lin Yan wasn’t sure if Ye Xian ant that there was no need to stop him or no need for sympathy; he only felt that the man he had looked at countless tis before now seed so unfamiliar.
Just as everyone thought Ye Xian was about to leave the venue, he headed straight towards the award stage.
“No way?!”
“Did he take the wrong path?”
The venue burst into an uproar, and so did the online comnts.
[My goodness, what direction is he heading in, is he going on stage to accept the award!!]
[Can’t be, what is this pace? I’m scared hugging my husky too close.]
[I told you, the way he adjusted his clothes earlier, it seed more like he was preparing to accept an award rather than leaving!]
[My values are shattered, what do I do? I can barely watch but really want to, oh my, who would accept such an award, one must have a very strong mind!]
[Is this sothing Ye Xian would do?]
The spotlight followed Ye Xian all the way, the young man moving with a light step, his figure slender, his eyes calm as water. As he passed the first row of VIP seats, he heard a resoundingly stern male voice, “Stop.”
The voice was not up for negotiation or advising; it had only a deep, commanding tone.
Yet Ye Xian walked on as if he hadn’t heard, ignoring the voice and heading straight to the stage.
Pang Kai gripped his iPad, swallowing nervously as he looked at the CEO’s sternly chiseled profile.
Although the announcent of the Rotten Sour Plum Award caught the CEO off guard, he showed no expression, but when Miss Cheng ntioned Ye Xian’s na, Pang Kai distinctly saw the CEO’s face turn cold, his gaze icy, and even the surrounding temperature seed to drop several degrees.
The CEO was angry, and it was an extrely rare occurrence.
