Chapter 20: Acceptance
The trophy was heavier than Shen Yichen had expected.
It was a silver crane on a black base, with its wings half open.
He held it in both hands at the podium and looked out at two thousand faces.
Every one of them was a face that had watched the video at breakfast.
The applause had been polite.
It was dying, and he let it.
In the front row, Tang Mo sat with his hands pressed together under his chin, not smiling.
Beside him Ji Wanqing was clapping steadily with her face turned up, and she met Shen's eyes and gave him a single short nod.
He took out the card in his pocket, the one Cheng Ping had made him write, with three paragraphs of thanks.
He put it back.
"I'm supposed to thank my agency," he said into the microphone. "I will. Cheng Ping, thank you for eight years."
At the end of the aisle, she lifted a hand.
"This morning," said Shen, "you watched a video of two managers daring two actors to date for ninety days."
