The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

141 Announcing The Places

When it was He Miao’s turn, the audience could not help but focus their eyes on her.

Other than her outstanding looks, there was another important factor. She was the youngest of all the contestants.

The audience who knew the inside story began to whisper. Many people were talking while looking at Xu Heng, who was sitting in the audience seat.

Back then, Xu Heng was a genius. Before he graduated, he had already achieved achievements that people could only look up to. He was not inferior to He Miao now. It was a pity that he made a mistake in his last match. Xu Heng was disheartened and could only teach in school.

Now He Miao’s match had indirectly caused the fragrance-making world to be suspicious of that match.

Now, most people looked at Xu Heng with a sense of relief in addition to regret.

If Xu Heng had been the brightest star in the fragrance world, it would have been even more difficult for them to achieve what they had today.

Xu Heng straightened his chest and ignored the discussions of the outside world. He focused on He Miao, who was shining brightly on the stage, with a deep sense of anticipation.

His judgment was not wrong. He Miao was not an ordinary person. After this competition, her fame was destined to spread throughout the incense-making world.

On the stage, He Miao lowered her eyes and bowed politely to the judges. She placed her work on the judges’ table, then retreated to the edge of the stage to wait for the results.

Meng Lang looked at He Miao, who did not have any stage fright, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. However, this good impression disappeared in an instant. With a cold face, he placed his works on the judges’ table one by one.

There were no underhanded tricks in this competition, only a contest of true strength. He disobeyed his father’s order and resolutely gave up his family business, choosing to make perfumes. The only path in front of him was to win.

Winning all the matches was the only way for him to prove that he had chosen the right path.

As time passed, the venue was silent. Everyone was focused on the judges who were counting the scores and waiting for the final result to be announced.

Soon, the results of the competition were in the host’s hands. After some irrelevant opening remarks, he built up the suspense as usual. “The results of this competition are somewhat unexpected, but feels reasonable!”

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their eyes to Meng Lang, who was at the edge of the stage.

This man was born into an influential family, but his personality was the opposite of his brother’s. Not only did he not get close to women, but he was still unmarried. He even willingly gave up the family business and devoted himself to fragrance-making under the angry scolding of his own old man.

Many people were not optimistic about his actions. After all, his family was already rich. Why would he enter a field that he had never been involved in at this age and become the junior of someone whose background was not as good as his?

Obviously, Meng Lang did not think so. He had always been determined to walk his own path, waiting for his persistence to finally bear fruit.

Only a few people at the scene guessed that He Miao would be the unexpected surprise, and Jing Yan and Xu Heng were among them.

Meng Xin sat in her seat quietly for a while. When she heard what the host said, she could not suppress the excitement in her heart anymore. She excitedly grabbed Jing Yan’s arm and shook it. “Brother, uncle will definitely win the championship this time!”

“Sit still and don’t move.” Jing Yan pulled his hand back impatiently, glared at her, and then turned his eyes back to the stage.

Meng Xin pouted her lips, feeling wronged. She snorted coyly and turned her head away, refusing to pay attention to him.

In order to whet everyone’s appetite, the host chose to start from the bottom rankings. “Next, I will announce the names of the last ten contestants.”

The ten people whose names were called out had a variety of expressions.

To be able to participate in this competition, in addition to wanting to show off in front of everyone, they also wanted to get the final prize. No one wanted to be the last person in the rankings.

However, their lack of strength was the most decisive factor in the competition. They could only resign themselves to their fate and take back their work, standing on the edge with their heads down, serving as a foil to those with good results.

The host then announced the remaining names. Soon, there were only ten people left on the stage who had yet to get a place.

The crowd held their breath and gasped, because the youngest girl was still standing firmly in her original position, and her name had not been called.

This meant that she had fought her way into the top ten from a group of experienced fragrance makers with her own strength, and her ranking might even be higher!

Meng Xin could not believe her eyes. At that moment, even she could not help but feel nervous. Even if He Miao’s results were not as good as her uncle’s, it was enough to make people look at her differently.

She only hoped that the first person to be called out by the host would be He Miao. That way, she would at least be in the tenth place and not get too high of a ranking.

However, the host’s next words disappointed her. After the results of the 10th to 4th place were announced, He Miao and Meng Lang still stood at the corner of the stage.
