Ning Ge guessed right, the scores had indeed been calculated. The emcee said some congratulatory words and then invited the relevant local leaders to speak and announce the competition results.
In the audience seats, over at Joy Soon Loy’s side, Wang Bo and his team stood up nervously.
"Oh my god, this is torture, just announce it quickly!" Xiao Zhu was sweating profusely, wishing he could just grab the paper from the emcee and read it himself.
"Exactly, I wasn’t even this nervous when my wife was giving birth to my child!" Old Liu rubbed his hands together incessantly.
Finally, after some speeches, the awards were announced.
"Third prize goes to Friendly Food Company!" announced a man in a suit.
Immediately after, the emcee congratulated them and invited Friendly’s representatives to the stage to receive their award.
Winning the prize, Wan Fuyu felt pleased yet his expression subtly changed; getting third prize meant Joy Soon Loy might have performed even better.
He wasn’t harboring any delusions that Joy Soon Loy would be at the bottom. Did this mean Friendly was destined to lose to Joy Soon Loy?
"Boss, it’s time to go up?" His secretary gave Wan Fuyu a gentle nudge.
Wan Fuyu regained his composure, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled as he went on stage to receive the bronze trophy, feeling conflicted.
"We definitely won’t lose to Friendly!" Ning Ge quietly whispered to Cheng Su.
Cheng Su’s hands clenched slightly, whispering, "Don’t underestimate them."
Ning Ge puckered his lips in a mumble, "The outcome is already decided."
The other two companies weren’t much competition; only that little No. 5 could stand a chance against their team.
"Second prize goes to Good Taste Company, also a local company. Congratulations to them." The emcee began clapping.
Wan Fuyu’s expression turned even darker, he instinctively glanced at Cheng Su, who was standing there, a slight smile on her lips, seeming unperturbed.
Inside, Cheng Su’s emotions were in turmoil; there wasn’t any insider decision, and Good Taste had won second.
