Sitting in the VIP seats, "Lu Yan" appeared calm and composed on the surface, but her heart was pounding nervously.
For some reason, her heart was thumping, and she always had a premonition that something was about to happen.
When she came to her senses and realized her emotions, she gave a self - deprecating smile, thinking she was being paranoid.
Too many unexpected things had happened before, making her vigilant about everything and constantly on edge. This was extremely detrimental to her mental state.
As an outstanding designer, her mind should be free - flowing and relaxed, not as tense as a taut string.
Moreover, the organizer of this event was Brother Jiang Zhou. How could there be any flaws or accidents?
She was just worrying needlessly.
She silently comforted herself in her heart not to be too nervous, and then began to focus on the award ceremony.
From the host's opening speech to the review of the previous Design Gold Awards, the entire process was perfectly designed, which was truly remarkable.
Ning Anmiao slightly tilted her head and glanced at Jiang Zhou sitting not far from her.
It had been three years.
Three years later, Brother Jiang Zhou had, as she had expected, successfully taken over as the head of the Jiang family and managed it in an orderly manner.
Now, everyone had gradually grown into adults. Their eyes carried more or less the depth and complexity of adults, but also more calmness and composure.
People were always growing, which was a good thing.
Lost in thought for a moment, Ning Anmiao stared at Jiang Zhou for a long time, and her gaze didn't shift for a while.
It was not until he looked back that she realized it was inappropriate and quickly withdrew her gaze.
Jiang Zhou:?
He always felt that "Lu Yan" had looked at him in a strange way just now, with a kind of... tenderness?
Thinking of this word, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but shiver.
Being looked at by a man with a tender look was a bit disgusting to think about.

Soon, most of the preliminary parts were completed, and the awarding part was about to begin.
Suddenly, many people sat up straight, looking at the stage expectantly, eager to see the award - recipients.
"Now, let's welcome Yu Yue, Ling Hongyi... who have been nominated for the Outstanding Design Award." The host announced four names, and four smiling newcomers walked onto the stage.
Apparently, they had discussed beforehand. They were respectively wearing evening gowns themed on morning, noon, afternoon, and night, looking fresh, unique, and full of youthful colors.
Ning Anmiao pursed her lips, showing her appreciation.
The younger generation was really formidable.
There would always be new blood in this industry. As a veteran in the industry, if one always held a jealous and exclusive attitude, they would never make progress and would instead be eliminated.
Only by maintaining a tolerant and receptive attitude could one continuously renew and improve themselves.
Ning Anmiao was well aware of this.
She suddenly thought of Jiang Qiwei.
Ning Anmiao knew that Jiang Qiwei was also among the award - winners this time. She had won the Most Popular Designer Award, just one step below her. She wondered if Jiang Qiwei would be gnashing her teeth in hatred.
It was quite interesting.
"Next, let's welcome Miss Jiang Qiwei, the winner of the 'Most Popular Designer' award, to come onto the stage to receive the award."
Sure enough, as the saying goes, mention the devil and he appears.
Jiang Qiwei was wearing a blood - red evening dress, looking flamboyant and unrestrained. Her makeup was thick and retro, with bright red lips. Standing on the stage, she was like a queen, exuding a dangerous aura.
It really suited her, Ning Anmiao silently commented in her heart.
"Thank you all for your love. I will also strive to go further and better on the design path, and strive to design more works that are popular and beloved by everyone."
So hypocritical.
If it had been in the past, she might have looked at a designer with such a humble attitude differently. But now that she knew Jiang Qiwei was a two - faced woman, she only found her disgusting.
False people were despicable.
"Let's welcome Mr. Lin Chuluo, the young and promising president of the Yunyun Group, to present the trophy to Miss Jiang."
Lin Chuluo walked onto the stage. His oatmeal - colored suit made him look noble and elegant, and the gold - rimmed glasses on his nose added a touch of gentleness.
"Congratulations, Miss Jiang," his voice was warm and pleasant, as delicate as the afternoon sun. "I hope your future design path will be bright."
Such a gentle and elegant male god made all the women in the audience scream uncontrollably, and they all said they were going to become his fans.
"Mr. Lin is so handsome. He's handsome enough to be an entertainer!"
"He's so gentle. Did you see the look in his eyes when he looked at Designer Jiang just now? It's so sweet!"
"I heard that Mr. Lin was once reported to be infatuated with his secret crush. That person is really lucky to be liked by such a gentle man..."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but the atmosphere on the stage was not as harmonious as the audience thought.
Jiang Qiwei stared directly at Lin Chuluo, feeling uneasy. She lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear. "What on earth do you want to do?"
Fifteen minutes ago, Jiang Qiwei had found that she couldn't contact the venue decorators who had been arranged before.
This sudden change made her feel panicked. When she met Lin Chuluo's meaningful eyes, she suddenly guessed who had done it.
"Didn't we agree to cooperate happily?" Lin Chuluo raised his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head up slightly, and faced the audience below, with his usual gentle smile.
"I was worried that Miss Jiang wouldn't cooperate, so I might as well do it myself." He lowered his eyes and gave her a gentle smile. "Miss Jiang just needs to watch the show. Isn't it relaxing?"
This smile made her heart clench involuntarily.
What kind of game was Lin Chuluo playing?
Could it be that his target was... Lu Yan?!
After they stepped off the stage, the host was extremely excited. Her voice holding the microphone was full of anticipation. "Next, we will welcome the most anticipated figure in the design world, the winner who will take the crown of our award ceremony today - "
"The winner of the 22nd 'National Best Designer' Gold Award is - Miss Ning Anmiao!"
As soon as the name was announced, many people were stunned.
"This name is a bit unfamiliar. How about we call her 'YAN'? Maybe everyone has heard of it."
The host guessed everyone's reaction. To liven up the atmosphere in the venue, she joked a bit. "I'm sure no one in the design world doesn't know this name.
Ning Anmiao had never used her real name for her design signatures before, so naturally, few people knew her.
But "YAN" was a well - known designer in the industry and a god in the hearts of all designers.
Everyone who realized this suddenly screamed non - stop. They were eager to see the true face of "YAN" and even more eager to see how stunning the clothing designs she brought would be.
The venue was noisy for a while and then gradually quieted down.
