1299 She Dared to Sit When Wang Juhuai Asked Her to

"Let us welcome Dong Qinrong to present the award!" the male emcee said loudly. "Qinrong, please!"

Dong Qinrong walked gracefully out from the backstage to the front.

There was only one presenter, Dong Qinrong, for the Best Newcomer Award, and as usual, she should start the introduction with some humor.

Dong Qinrong said a few lines naturally, and though they weren't that funny, the audience members below played their part and laughed loudly.

"And now, let us look at the nominees for the Best Newcomer Award," Dong Qinrong said. "Please look at the screen."

On the screen, a short introduction for Lu Man, Qiao Luna, Ni Xue, Chang Yachen, and Fu Kaiqi appeared, respectively.

Finally, pictures of the five were shown on the screen.

The spotlight also shone on the five of them below the stage.

Qiao Luna and Ni Xue came in late, so they missed the scene where Wang Juhuai had forcefully moved Mu Huan's seat from the fifth row to the first.

The two of them were on the fourth row, and when the camera landed on Lu Man, Han Zhuoli, who was next to her, also entered the shot.

Both of them were stunned. When did Lu Man get to the first row?!

They were all similarly nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, and Lu Man's position was not even as high as theirs. How could she sit in the first row?!

Just because of Wang Juhuai, she's all impressive now?

So, she could ignore all the rules already, was that it?!

Both their faces turned black at that.

All five newcomers were personally told by the organizing team about their nominations.

So, everyone smiled properly in the shot, not showing a hint of surprise.

Liang Chengbing never thought that Lu Man would really be nominated for the Best Newcomer Award.

But then, there were Sun Yiwu, Ji Cheng, and Yan Zhiqing helping her.

Ha!

How shameless. Previously, she had disagreed with how a production team had internal agreements, but now, didn't she get nominated due to her relations?

If it weren't for Sun Yiwu and the others, how could she have gotten nominated?!

Wang Shuyi mumbled at the side, "Lu Man is qualified to get nominated for the Best Newcomer Award? When there are so many other newcomers who're more hard-working and have better acting skills than she does? The film festival actually chose Lu Man as a nominee. How unfair this is."

Wang Shuyi was seated between Liang Chengbing and Jiang Yuhan, who heard him and said, "That's right. And she's even sitting in the first row. Who gave her the gall? Even if Wang Juhuai is her stepfather, she still really dared to sit when Wang Juhuai asked her to? She's not afraid of how the netizens and acting veterans are going to blast her, huh?"

"Haha, given what Lu Man has done in the past, I can see that she's just a youngster who's still wet behind the ears. No inkling of what she should or shouldn't do, as if she's the best in the whole world. She's never lost so she doesn't know fear. She'll learn after she's suffered a loss," Liang Chengbing said strangely.

"That's right. Just like this time, even though it was Wang Juhuai who insisted for her to sit in the first row, she actually really dared to go. What a joke!" Qiao Luna piped in at the side. "Didn't even care who else are sitting in the first row. Even the likes of Sun Yiwu and Gao Zishan are seated towards the side. Wang Juhuai let her sit in the middle and she does it? How big is she, even?"

The seats were split into three sections at the venue.

Left, right, and center, each segment divided by a path.

And the A-listers in the entertainment industry like Gao Zishan were seated at the left and right segments.

While the likes of Sun Yiwu—including those bigshot international directors and a few of Hollywood's A-listers—were seated towards the middle.
