The awards ceremony continued.
As the more prestigious awards were revealed, the atmosphere among the guests grew increasingly tense.
Best Pop, Best Duet, Best Rock… Over a dozen awards were announced, but none of them included Ruan Qi's name.
Shen Wenqian calculated mentally—Ruan Qi had a total of fourteen nominations, and most had already been announced.
Now, only six awards remained: Best Composer, Best Lyricist, Best Singer, and others.
Since Ruan Qi had already won Best Newcomer, Best Singer was likely off the table. Shen Wenqian estimated that Best Composer was her most assured win.
Time crawled by, agonizingly slow. After a round of song and dance performances, Host Lu Nan's voice echoed throughout the venue.
"Let's welcome the renowned musical artist, Teacher Li Hua, to present the award for Best Composer!"
The previously drowsy artists instantly perked up as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.
