Chapter 856: Award Gift
On the other hand, the award presenters had already arrived in Li City one after another. They had long contacted the largest concert hall in the area to present the award to Miss Fu Sheng and have it broadcasted worldwide.
Perhaps some people did not pay attention to this award ceremony before, but now that the plagiarism incident had spread online and it was revealed that Tang Ruge was the daughter of the Tang family, everyone could not help but pay attention to this grand occasion.
However, other than the trophy, the person in charge also had to give Tang Ruge the ancient zither. Hence, he looked for Xu Da. “Mr. Xu, did you contact the organizers of the charity banquet in advance and have them reserve the zither for Miss Fu Sheng?”
Xu Da’s heart trembled as he lowered his head guiltily. As the award presenter for Planet Music Festival, did he need to reserve anything? As long as he wanted it, the other party should obediently deliver it to his door. He had indeed not reserved that zither. Who knew that someone would bid for it so quickly? Moreover, that woman was unwilling to give it up.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Xu Da cleared his throat and said without blushing, “That’s right!”
“The person in charge of the charity banquet said that someone has already bid for that zither. Now that we can’t get the gift Miss Fu Sheng likes, what should we do?”
Xu Da looked fl.u.s.tered, but he quickly recovered. “It’s okay. I told Miss Fu Sheng about this a long time ago. She said that the person who got the zither is her friend, so she doesn’t care.”
The person in charge’s expression darkened. “Since she’s Miss Fu Sheng’s friend, why did she s.n.a.t.c.h the zither that Miss Fu Sheng likes?”
At this moment, the netizens also found out about the zither. This was because Wen Lai had already arrived in Li City. In the interview, she even made it clear that she would give Fu Sheng a zither. Fu Sheng had liked that zither for a long time. Planet Music had already contacted the person in charge of the banquet and would definitely send the zither to Fu Sheng as soon as possible.
This was a normal routine for the award ceremony. In the past, the award ceremonies for Planet Music Festival would always go very smoothly. However, this time, a plagiarism scandal arose. Now, even the zither was s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
The person in charge of the award ceremony looked worried. They had already promised Miss Fu Sheng that they would get the ancient zither for her, but they had gone back on their word. Not only would Madam Wen Lai be angry, but the people of Li City would also not let the matter rest. They would think that this was a show of disrespect to Li City. If this matter blew up, it would not be good for anyone.
...
He thought for a long time and helplessly posted an apology statement on Planet Music’s official website. He sincerely admitted his mistake, which caused the zither to be bought by someone else. He didn’t even know the whereabouts of the zither now.
Everyone was very curious about who bought this ancient zither that originally belonged to Miss Fu Sheng. At the same time, they were angry on behalf of Tang Ruge. [What a pity. Planet Music Festival is only held once a year. Every year, the winner of the gold award would get what they want. However, Miss Fu Sheng has to change her request. Planet Music is too irresponsible!]
[So who exactly stole that zither?! Why didn’t you investigate?! If you can find the buyer and explain the situation to them, they’ll definitely give it up if they know that it’s a gift for Miss Fu Sheng!]
Instantly, the account of the person in charge of Planet Music exploded. Netizens stood up to scold the organizers.
Tang Ruge looked at the comments online and smiled sinisterly. The ident.i.ty of Fu Sheng had brought her too many benefits. As long as she remained to be Fu Sheng, countless people would stand up for her. She did not have to do it herself.
After a moment of silence, she made a call. “We can start now. Follow the original plan.”
The night before the award ceremony, a mysterious account suddenly posted a video on Weibo. In the video, a woman in a high-end dress was seen carrying the ancient zither. The timestamp in the video was exactly half an hour before Xu Da arrived at the charity banquet. Hence, when Xu Da arrived at the charity banquet, the ancient zither had already been bought.
The video was very clear, and it was just enough to see the woman’s face clearly. That person was… Qiao Xi!
[In that case, Mr. Xu Da went to the charity banquet for the zither. Before he went, he would definitely have informed the person in charge of the banquet. The person in charge would immediately take the zither off the display case and not sell it to outsiders.]
[Who knew that before the zither could be taken down, Qiao Xi would bid for it? Others might not know the origin of this zither, but as Miss Fu Sheng’s friend, doesn’t she know that this is the gift Miss Fu Sheng wants most?]
