Chapter 781 - 269: Three Girlfriends Take the Stage Together_2

At this point, even the host felt a bit flustered. Fortunately, as a professional, the ability to adapt on the fly was an essential skill.

"Director Li," the host said, "it seems that all the beautiful women coming up today are your fans."

"Could I ask you, Director Li, to present the awards to these fans on stage and fulfill their wishes?"

Under such circumstances, what could Li Yuan say? He had no choice but to disrupt the original plan and go on stage to present the awards to his beautiful fans.

Li Yuan picked up the microphone and joked, "I really didn’t expect that a newbie like me would be so popular. In that case, it would be rude to refuse."

After speaking, Li Yuan went up on stage and approached Yu Nian and a few other girls. A staff member from Tea Color Moonlight, wearing a cheongsam that revealed her long, pale legs, approached him carrying trays of cash beautifully wrapped in red envelopes.

Li Yuan took a red envelope and approached Yu Nian, handing it to her with a smile.

After Li Yuan got on stage, Yu Nian’s gaze was fixated on him, her eyes brimming with a tenderness so deep they seemed almost capable of dripping water. As Li Yuan handed over the red envelope, Yu Nian’s small hand took advantage of his distraction, gently brushing over the back of his hand before she reluctantly accepted the envelope.

When Yu Nian’s hand brushed across the back of his, Li Yuan’s heart fluttered. He was taken aback by the girl from the Modu Academy of Drama. Her intentions were all too obvious. The look she gave him made his scalp tingle. He had no doubt that if he were willing, he could contact her after the awards ceremony, and this girl named Yu Nian would climb into his bed without a moment’s hesitation...

Li Yuan thought to himself, Tsk tsk, being too famous isn’t necessarily a good thing! I’m constantly on the minds of all sorts of women.

Li Yuan subtly withdrew his hand. He had originally planned to say a few words of encouragement to Yu Nian, but he swallowed them back down. If he chatted for a few more moments, his girlfriends in the audience would get incredibly jealous.

As Li Yuan passed out the cash-filled red envelopes to the winning Milk Tea Girls, the audience began to buzz with discussion.

*Tsk, tsk, that’s Xia Hua for you, so generous! He’s giving out cash directly. I thought it would be gift cards for Tea Color Moonlight.*

*Heh, that’s not his style. Besides, Tea Color Moonlight is so popular that every store has long lines every day. Why would they need a gimmick like that?*

*I’m curious, a ten-thousand-yuan cash prize is easy enough to carry. But when the top ten winners come up, their prizes will be in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. Are they going to hand out cash for that, too?*

*Probably not. That would be too unsafe.*

...

After several rounds of handing out awards, Li Yuan’s smile had gone numb. Perhaps they really were all his fans, or perhaps they were just following the trend. The subsequent Milk Tea Girls who came on stage also requested that he personally present their awards and take photos with them. Li Yuan had no choice but to present awards to all ninety of the Milk Tea Girls, one after another.

"Next up are the awards for the 4th through 10th place winners of our nationwide ’Milk Tea Girl’ competition! Each winner will receive a cash prize of 100,000 yuan. Will our winning beauties please come to the stage?"

This time, the quality of the girls who came on stage was clearly a cut above the previous ones. In terms of figure, looks, and temperament, they were all virtually flawless, each one a true, campus belle-level beauty.

Below the stage, Chu Yanyan, the sixth-place winner, naturally had to go up to receive her award. Seeing that Chu Yanyan hadn’t moved, her friends Zhang Xiulan and Sun Junjun, who had come with her, grew anxious.

"Yanyan, hurry up! Everyone else is already going on stage!"

"That’s right, Yanyan. Don’t throw a tantrum at a time like this. Your cousin Zhijin and Li Yuan are both watching you."

Chu Yanyan glanced at Xia Zhijin, who was looking at her expectantly, and muttered haughtily under her breath, "Hmph, if it weren’t for Zhijin’s sake, I wouldn’t be going up there to accept some award. I’d rather let that philandering jerk Li Yuan make a complete fool of himself."

After Chu Yanyan got up and left, Zhang Xiulan and Sun Junjun exchanged a helpless look. Having been friends for so long, they knew that Chu Yanyan was a very strong-willed girl. She was genuinely capable of doing something drastic.

"Sigh, Yanyan’s personality is really something else. Her own cousin Zhijin doesn’t even mind, but she’s the one who’s always so indignant."

"What can you do? You know she’s stubborn and despises philanderers more than anything, especially when the guy in question is her cousin’s boyfriend."

"Hehe, Lanlan, what do you think Yanyan’s reaction will be when Li Yuan gives her the award?"

...

The host proceeded with the interviews as before. The first two girls gave very official answers, claiming to be fans of Xia Hua’s music who wanted to meet their idol and join the festivities. However, when the host approached the aloof-looking Chu Yanyan, her response sent a shockwave through the entire venue.

"I’m not a fan of anyone here, nor did I want to participate in this event. Someone took my picture and posted it online without my permission."

Chu Yanyan’s chilly words instantly caused an uproar, and the venue erupted in discussion.

*Whoa, that beauty’s answer was completely unexpected! Is she seriously slapping Xia Hua in the face, right in front of him? What a personality! Someone tell me who she is, right now! I need to know everything about her...*
