Assistant Zheng Fei reported the work with his head bowed, but he didn't get a response for a long time. He looked up at the man beside him with confusion. Huo Lingchen's cigarette had burned to the end, but he showed no intention of extinguishing it. His deep gaze was fixed on the screen. Following his gaze, Zheng Fei saw that the current leader in the marathon live broadcast was a girl. She was running at a steady pace in a green T-shirt and sports shoes sponsored by ZL Group. Due to the intense exercise, she was drenched in sweat, her cheeks as red as apples. That 'apple' made one want to... pinch it. "Report the matter just now to me again!" Huo Lingchen had somehow withdrawn his gaze and opened the document to immerse himself in work. An hour and ten minutes later, Nian Yaxuan successfully overtook the former marathon runner-up and once again rushed to the first place! Because of her rapid progress, the atmosphere around her instantly picked up. Many people from the School of Economics and Management started shouting wildly, "Nian Yaxuan, well done! Come on, come on!" Those who couldn't see heard that Nian Yaxuan had reached first place and started shouting too. The cheers came wave after wave, deafening. At one hour and twenty minutes, as she was about to reach the third-to-last checkpoint, many exclamations came from behind, and she also heard someone calling Shu Zenan's name. Nian Yaxuan, gasping for breath, looked back. Han Huiming and the others had already given up halfway.

Only Shu Zenan, who was originally running in sixth place, didn't know how he fell and failed to stand up after several attempts. Nian Yaxuan swallowed saliva and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and rushed back amidst everyone's exclamations of surprise. At the same time, the former marathon runner-up overtook her and took the lead. 'Nian... Brother Nian... don't...' Before Shu Zenan could finish saying the last two words, Nian Yaxuan had already reached him and extended her hand. Nian Yaxuan had come over, and Shu Zenan had no choice but to grab her hand, using her strength to stand up from the ground. However, it seemed that he had fallen quite hard; as soon as he straightened up, the pain in his leg almost made Shu Zenan kneel down. 'Brother Nian, listen to me... my leg... huff... I can't run anymore, you go ahead, don't mind me!' Nian Yaxuan glanced at his scraped knee and said, 'Old Shu, it's just a scrape... keep it up!' She had known Shu Zenan for several years; this academic prodigy often covered for her in front of the teachers. How could she leave him behind at such a critical moment? Under Nian Yaxuan's insistence, Shu Zenan gritted his teeth and started running again. The classmates who were cheering for them screamed, 'Class president, Brother Nian, you guys are so cool!' 'Nian Yaxuan, I love you!'

What amused everyone was that the confession was shouted out by a girl. Nian Yaxuan, pulling Shu Zenan along, gradually overtook the people ahead and ultimately finished third, with Shu Zenan coming in fourth. Contestant number 961, in order to give up the first place for a classmate, Nian Yaxuan also became popular in the marathon race. This scene was completely captured in the eyes of the man in the VIP room from beginning to end. At this moment, the girl who got third place was lifted by a dozen boys, thrown into the air, and then caught as she fell. Huo Lingchen's lips curled into a sneer; indeed, she wasn't any decent woman, so adept at seducing those naive men. The award ceremony was held at the closing ceremony of the half marathon, and it was said that the award presenter was Huo Lingchen, the president of ZL Group. In the dormitory Just as she was about to lie down for a rest, she suddenly heard this name, and Nian Yaxuan almost jumped out of bed. How could such a thing be linked to Huo Lingchen??? Zheng Xiaoke looked at her sympathetically, 'I have to say, you and President Huo are really, really fated! Yaxuan, I'm really worried about you; you might have a conflict with him at the award ceremony.' Nian Yaxuan exhaled, they weren't just ordinarily fated, after all, they were tied together by a marriage certificate. 'I won't have a conflict with him. If I had known it was him presenting the award, and since I didn't get first place anyway, I would have given up this third place.' Anyway, as long as it wasn't first place, she considered it a loss. Lin Wanying blew on her nails, 'Yaxuan, actually, I'm quite envious of you, envious of your fate with President Huo. But the thought of you and President Huo always being at odds whenever you meet, such a karmic disaster... I'm not envious anymore.'

"To dare to confront President Huo, only Nian Yaxuan is not afraid of being tormented to death by him. Could it be that the backer behind Nian Yaxuan is even more powerful than Huo Lingchen? No... Lin Wanying quickly denied this thought. In Yuecheng, looking around, there is not a single person who dares to challenge Huo Lingchen! Zheng Xiaoke lazily hugged her pillow, completely puzzled, 'Brother Nian, President Huo is so handsome, shouldn't you be infatuated every time you see him? How come you two can't stand each other?' The smile on Nian Yaxuan's face stiffened for a moment. At first, wasn't she immersed in Huo Lingchen's good looks? But her hot temper simply couldn't stand his subtle mockery from the Ming Dynasty. It was just a kiss, right? In such matters, it's always the woman who suffers, isn't it? She couldn't understand how a big man could be so petty! So... they just can't stand each other. 'No, I just don't get it, why is Huo Lingchen everywhere, even at a marathon award ceremony? Doesn't he have his company to run? Isn't he supposed to be a multinational CEO? Are multinational CEOs all this idle?' Nian Yaxuan couldn't help but complain. Zheng Xiaoke had to enlighten her, 'Yaxuan, the marathon we're participating in this time, whether it's the clothing, sports shoes, or even the prizes, are mostly provided by ZL Group. As the biggest sponsor, President Huo definitely has to attend.' 'Also, ZL Group is quite supportive of sports competitions like this, and is said to have sponsored many sports events! For a large-scale event like a marathon, of course, ZL Group's participation is essential,' Lin Wanying added. Whenever it comes to matters about Huo Lingchen, they usually pay attention!"

Who can blame him for being the most valuable single diamond bachelor in Yuecheng? At the award ceremony, Nian Yaxuan stood calmly on the third-place podium, and it wasn't long before she saw the man who caused the crowd to scream repeatedly. Dressed in a dark suit, stepping in brand-new black leather shoes, he walked onto the stage against the thousands of golden rays of autumn, with steady steps. The domineering aura he exuded was overwhelming, and every move he made was filled with an air of nobility! Not to mention the women screamingScreaming crazily,Years ago, Yaxuan accidentally lost her composure。 If only such a Huo Lingchen, without any confrontation, he is really super duper handsome! No wonder so many women are crazy for him... The beautiful hostess couldn't help but her eyes shine brightly, excitedly shouting, 'Next, let's invite our President Huo to present the award to our champion!' When it came to the third place, Huo Lingchen and the etiquette lady walked towards Nian Yaxuan together. Nian Yaxuan, who had been hanging her head all along, had to lift her head to face the indifferent-looking man, and in the end, she still managed a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
