Chapter 476: Chapter 477: The Strongest Rookie King

```

The netizen who took the photo was also lucky, she was a tourist who, upon learning about the historic significance of that library, felt compelled to visit it.

Once there, she immediately spotted Meng Wan’s Huaxia face among the crowd of foreigners, and upon a closer look, she recognized Meng Wan and took a photo with her.

Since announcing her departure from JY, Meng Wan had not posted anything on any W platforms, and reporters couldn’t locate her; she seemed to have vanished from the mortal world.

So when that photo came out, it sparked a lot of discussions among netizens, who all felt it was a pity. They thought Meng Wan should not exit the entertainment circle, even if she left JY, as her fans really missed her.

There was already public opinion at the time saying that JY’s inability to retain Meng Wan was a major loss for them. Now with JY being exposed for lip-syncing face-to-face, the wave of online skepticism was only going to intensify.

All He Jinxia had to do was make JY lack Meng Wan; she didn’t have to do anything else to slowly watch JY sink into the mire and bear the same pressure that He Jinxia had endured before.

Internal unity in a girl group was never solid; it was only because of the strong momentum of their success and Zhang Yingru’s forceful control that a balance was maintained. Once their momentum weakened, negative comments began to increase.

He Jinxia now wanted to see how Zhang Yingru and Li Zimu would save the JY girl group!

Lost in thought, the award ceremony on stage had reached the announcement of the Best Newcomer Award.

"She is an elf in acting, she has injected new vitality into the film and television industry, carrying the banner for the new generation of actors.

She has been through the darkness, she was once despised, she was once scorned as a fat person.

But she faced adversity head-on, tackled the difficulties braving the wind and waves, worked hard to lose weight, and showed everyone a brand new her.

She— is Chen Xiaohui, who, despite being ostracized at work, strived to improve herself.

She— is Su Qingwan who, caught in unrequited love, went astray before finding her way back and saving a city.

She— is Deng Meili, who embodies love and justice and actively educates and guides students in the right direction.

She— is He Jinxia, the powerful breakthrough artist of the year 8012!

Please welcome He Jinxia to the stage..."

The moment He Jinxia heard "Chen Xiaohui," she immediately snapped back to reality, her face breaking into a gentle smile.

After listening to the host’s speech, He Jinxia stood up, shook hands that were extended towards her, and graciously accepted the congratulations of the surrounding stars.

Head held high, chest out, she walked to the stage with composed strides.

He Jinxia had initially thought she wouldn’t get too emotional over the Baihua State Award. Luo You had said that it was a minor award within Huaxia, not prestigious, and what she should be after were the major international awards.

He Jinxia also remembered to keep her pride in check, to not let early successes cloud her judgment or diminish her drive.

But when she actually stood on the stage, He Jinxia discovered how hard it was to keep her emotions steady.

Her team hadn’t done any PR for the Baihua State Award, they hadn’t spent one cent, yet she emerged from a host of competitors to capture the title of the strongest newcomer in performing arts. Regardless of the award’s prestige, the achievement affirmed her efforts and value.

He Jinxia took a deep breath, accepted the trophy, and took the microphone, "Thank you, Baihua State, for presenting me with this award. A lot has happened this year; I’ve gone from two hundred pounds to a standard weight, from a singer who could only sing and dance to an actress who has gained a lot of attention."

In that instant, He Jinxia thought of so much.

"Thank you to my team, thank you to Tonghua Entertainment, thank you to Director Dong, Director Gu, and Director Zhou for your trust and support, and also, thank you to my family, thank you..."

```

She paused, subtly glossing over the name "Sheng Yan," and concluded, "This is my starting point, not my endpoint. I will keep striving!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Thunderous applause erupted, and flashbulbs frenziedly went off. A few minutes later, some marketing accounts posted the press release about He Jinxia winning the Best Newcomer award, emphasizing her last statement—

[This is my starting point, not my endpoint!]

In this statement, He Jinxia’s ambitious and proud character was fully displayed. Many netizens came to their senses, realizing that He Jinxia had only been an actress for a little over a year and was still very young, with a long, long road ahead.

Only, He Jinxia’s acting didn’t seem like that of a young actress.

After He Jinxia’s award, there were some even more important awards to be given out, but those stars did not come to present them.

Some stars only sent actors from the same company to represent them, while others just recorded a VCR to express their thanks, speeding up the award ceremony.

The Baihua State Awards were really too insignificant; experienced actors were reluctant to come.

He Jinxia was here just to gain some practice and to accumulate experience for Berlin.

Time flew by, and all the awards had been handed out. He Jinxia declined the Baihua State banquet invitation and left the venue as soon as the ceremony was over.

At the exit corridor, just as Cheng Xiaohua and Luo You had predicted, a group of JY stars were standing at the exit, occasionally glancing at the celebrities coming out.

If they had a decent relationship, they would exchange a few words, but they wouldn’t stray far from the exit.

Upon spotting He Jinxia, Li Zimu’s eyes lit up, and he hurried over to her, smiling and saying, "Jinxia, congratulations on winning the ’Best Newcomer.’ It’s well-deserved."

He Jinxia smiled faintly, "Thank you."

Li Zimu reached out to grab her, pulling her to the side of the corridor, and asked in a lowered voice, "Jinxia, can you get in touch with Meng Wan?"

He Jinxia’s smile faded slightly as she looked steadily at Li Zimu.

The dark, calm depth of her eyes made Li Zimu somewhat uncomfortable.

Suppressing the irritation that sprang up inside him, Li Zimu continued, "Jinxia, you have a good relationship with Meng Wan. You must have her contact information. Please tell me. I don’t mean anything else by it. I just don’t want to lose Meng Wan as a friend. She had some misunderstandings about JY before she left, and I want to clear them up."

"JY has already terminated the contract with Meng Wan. No one can force her to come back if she doesn’t want to, but I don’t want her to misunderstand. We’ve walked together for so many years, through so much hardship, closer than friends. I don’t want us to become enemies in the end."

Li Zimu spoke with real sincerity, "Jinxia, I..."

He Jinxia suddenly chuckled, cutting off his words, deliberately echoing his previous statement, "Together for so many years, through so many hardships, closer than friends..."

He Jinxia laughed again, her tone playful, "I’ll return those words to you. We’re all family, why do you have to be so harsh on me?"

Li Zimu’s expression instantly turned pale.

She tried to maintain her composure, her brow furrowing in confusion, "Jinxia, what are you talking about?"
