Chapter 3307: Sudden Changes (48)

There was a flurry of discussion below the stage.
Yun Shishi heard someone in the back row whispering, "Eh? Yun Shishi is here too? Why is she among the nominees?"
"I heard that she was so popular and won so many votes online that she simply crushed the other candidates."
"But hasn't Yun Shishi disappeared for some time now?"
"Initially, she wasn't on the voting list. Many passionate netizens left comments and they had a strong voice. Only then did the organizers include her name. Eventually, she got into the lead position overnight. Given this, the audience would definitely suspect that there was a conspiracy if she didn't get nominated, right?"
"However, what's the difference between Yun Shishi's current state and being retired? If she won the award, won't it appear insincere if she didn't attend? Wouldn't the other nominees feel uncomfortable? However, if she didn't win the award, given how popular she was, people would definitely suspect that there was shady business going on. If this were to happen, wouldn't the organizers be put in a spot?"
"Yun Shishi didn't come?"
Amidst the flurry of discussion, Yun Shishi naturally felt nervous. She held Mu Yazhe's hand tightly, as the emcee said in a lowered voice, "Next, I'll be announcing the nominees of 'Best Supporting Actress'! Actually, at the National Drama Festival, the most valuable award is the Best Supporting Actress award! Everyone must be very curious about who will win this year's award."
After a pause, he said mysteriously, "Firstly, she's a very young lady."
"Secondly, she has a nickname amongst the fans, 'Peerless Beauty'."
"Although she had disappeared for some time, her popularity has not decreased the slightest bit! She is the most popular amongst the new generation's young actresses, and with her acting skills, she has gained the recognition of many seniors."
…
"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress award at the 2017 National Drama Festival is—Yun Shishi!"
Applause broke out.
On stage, the big screen showed her calm face as the cameras zoomed in on her. Although she was surprised, this result was within her expectations.
She was confident that her acting skills would be recognized.
However, after confirming that she had won the Best Supporting Actress award, she still could not hide her excitement. Even though she pretended to be calm on the surface, her slightly trembling fingertips showed that she was still very nervous.
"Yun Shishi!"
"Yun Shishi is here!"
"Oh my god, has she decided to return to the film industry?!"
"Impossible!"
The cameras shifted back to the man beside her. A commotion broke out among the audience. They did not expect Mu Yazhe to be present as well.
It was said that the Shengyu Group was the main sponsor for the National Drama Festival, however, no one even for a moment suspected that the reason Yun Shishi won the award was related to the Shengyu Group.
This was the charm of acting!
She had used her acting skills to convince the audience and judges that she deserved this award.
"Let's welcome our 'peerless beauty', Miss Yun Shishi, onto the stage to receive the award!"
Yun Shishi slowly stood up. Yang Mi, who was sitting beside her, immediately got onto her feet. She gave her heartfelt blessings to Yun Shishi and gently hugged her.
Li Jiuxian also gave her a hug.
Yun Shishi hitched her skirt and gracefully walked onto the stage. She took the trophy from the guest presenter and smiled shyly.
The host smiled mysteriously and said, "I heard that Shishi isn't here alone today."
