Shang Yaozhi’s eyes darkened, but he slowly let out a breath and regained his smile, "That’s actually quite good, I’ve regained confidence in myself."
The agent moved his lips, "Yaozhi, you’ve always been amazing. Don’t lose confidence in yourself."
Anyone would struggle to stay composed when being belittled like this at a public ceremony for an international award.
Shang Yaozhi just smiled.
There could only be one person who would dare do something like this, right?
Shang Yaozhi gazed at the girl sitting in the VIP seats, lost in thought.
On the stage, David was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
How could the surveillance video from their meeting room appear here?
And it wasn’t over yet.
After the video finished playing, a recording followed immediately.
As soon as David heard it, he recognized it as the call he made to Diana yesterday, and he began to sweat profusely.
Meanwhile, Diana’s complexion also turned grim.
Between winning an award and saving face, the latter was obviously more important.
Of course, having both would be the best.
Diana had never considered that her deal with David would be exposed.
Who would know about something like this?
And who could hack into her phone after finding out, stealing her call logs and recordings?
It was a dead wish.
More and more gazes converged on them, especially since there were many noble ladies present, all from the elite circles of O continent.
They whispered among themselves, their eyes constantly circling around Diana.
Diana’s face turned the color of iron, and an extreme sense of humiliation surged in her heart.
She immediately stood up and turned to walk outside.
She didn’t want to stay a second longer.
Being a lady of the Pazzi Family, the reporters wanted to stop her but didn’t dare.
"Turn it off!" David, holding a walkie-talkie, roared at the backstage, "Turn it off now! What’s wrong with you people?"
The backstage staff, sweating profusely, fumbled, "So-sorry, Mr. David, this is out of our control now, we can’t turn it off."
The voice continued.
"Yes, Miss Diana, rest assured, Chuguang Media is just a small company, they won’t dare to say anything, and they wouldn’t think that I would give their award to you."
With that, the audience on site went wild.
Viewers of the live broadcast in Hua Country were also infuriated.
[With this, you TM still have the audacity to belittle Shang Yaozhi’s acting? Are you worthy?]
[Impressive, Chuguang Media is a small workshop, so bullying is allowed, huh? If ’The Rebirth’ was a Universal Film Company production, the IFF jury wouldn’t dare to fart [smile].]
[Pazzi Family sure is something, reaching so far, but sorry, you still can’t control things in Hua Country.]
[I remember the IFF is invested by the Lorentz Family, right? Could it be that all these major clans of O continent are in cahoots, liking to bully people like this?]
The longstanding enmity between the Pazzi Family and the Lorentz Family is actually not widely known to the public.
After all, since Xize Laurent had woken up, the Lorentz Family had been focused solely on development, maintaining a peaceful coexistence with the Pazzi Family on the surface.
Those who had studied that period of O continent history didn’t associate the centuries-old situation with the present at all.
The audience below was abuzz with discussion, and reporters from various countries used their cameras to capture the moment non-stop.
Dave’s flustered and furious demeanor was fully documented.
This was indeed a big headline.
The scandal of corruption at the IFF Gold Awards wouldn’t even need a second day to spread across the entire international film industry by that evening.
It was a globally recognized award, even known to those who didn’t follow cinema closely.
David sweated buckets.
He yelled for the backstage to cut the power entirely, and finally, the image on the big screen disappeared.
Before David could catch his breath, someone took the stage.
At least now he could be sure that it wasn’t his acting that was the problem. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
