Chapter 620: Chapter 619: Let’s Not Shoot This, Shall We?
After a brief shock, You Junyao quickly regained his composure, smiling in response to the compliments of others.
Wen Yan also quickly came to, modestly saying to the other medical scholars, “Our team was just struck by inspiration this time, in the future we still need to learn a lot from the Salvation team.”
The others in the Wen Yan team also displayed faint pride on their faces.
Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun also came over to congratulate the two before returning to their seats. Shi Liyun seemingly regretfully commented, “This time, Huaxia only had one team that won an award, we need to continue striving! Professor Chi, don’t you think?”
Chi Gui lowered his head to look at the ancient book in his hands, without lifting his eyelids.
Shi Liyun pouted.
At this moment, Bi Yu also finished delivering her acceptance speech and walked down from the stage.
Everyone watched her, thinking she would stop to congratulate You Junyao and Wen Yan as she passed by.
You Junyao and Wen Yan, likewise watching Bi Yu, were already prepared with modest words.
Unexpectedly, Bi Yu didn’t even glance at them, she simply walked past them. When she got to Chi Gui, she paused slightly seeing Chi Gui hadn’t looked up, then continued back to her seat nonchalantly.
Shi Liyun perplexedly voiced everyone’s confusion, “What does Doctor Bi Yu mean by this? Did she remember she forgot to greet Mr. You and Doctor Wen Yan when she got to that spot, hence the pause?”
Before her words had even settled, the award presenter on the stage started speaking with a tone of surprise and excitement, “Next, the moment everyone has been waiting for—the first prize for the best research and development award goes to—”
You Junyao and Wen Yan quickly snapped to attention, this time neither hesitated; before the presenter could even say the team name, they promptly stood up!
Once again, the crowd raised both hands.
Assistant Lin, standing at the back, instructed the journalists brought by the You Group continuously, “Make sure to take multiple pictures from various angles of Mr. You and Doctor Wen Yan receiving their award on stage!”
This time, the award presenter didn’t keep anyone in suspense and directly announced the team name, “The first prize surprisingly goes to another team from Huaxia! Let us welcome them with the warmest applause—the Gui Ling Research Team led by Doctor Chi Gui!”
Already lifting their legs to walk onto the stage, You Junyao and Wen Yan suddenly froze!
The winners… were that insignificant Huaxia’s professor’s team?!
At this moment, You Junyao almost doubted his own ears, he instinctively glanced around.
The expression of everyone in the venue was equally surprised and shocked, clearly not having anticipated this either.
Assistant Lin and all the journalists he had brought were dumbfounded!
The journalists turned to ask Assistant Lin blankly, “We don’t take pictures anymore, right?”
Assistant Lin didn’t speak.
Sweat formed on his forehead, he was already unable to say anything.
Amidst the dead silence around, You Junyao and Wen Yan standing awkwardly in the midst of the crowd were particularly conspicuous and embarrassed.
“Si-Sister Chi?!” Xu Wen, trembling in his voice, carefully nudged Chi Gui, “Our… our team won the first prize!!”
“Hmm?” It was only then that Chi Gui lifted his eyes from the book, looking at him calmly.
Then, she took out two earplugs from her ears before asking, “What did you say?”
Xu Wen: “…”
At such an important occasion… you were actually engrossed in reading a book with earplugs in?!
He wordlessly paused for a moment, then excitedly repeated what he had just said.
Chi Gui responded, “Okay.”
She closed the book, carefully tucked it into her pocket, and then stood up and walked up to the stage.
