Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Black Gift (9)

And just the day before the annual celebration banquet, Kang Zhong sought Su Yanyi out.

"President Su, as the CEO of the company, you’re supposed to present the award to this year’s best artist at the banquet. Have you decided on the prize?" Kang Zhong asked formally, but Su Yanyi felt there was something strange about it.

"Isn’t it always you who prepares the prizes every year? Why do I need to decide this time?" As the chief planner, such trivial matters didn’t warrant her opinion—it was merely a formality.

"This year is different, aren’t you aware? This year’s best artist is Jiran. It’s mentioned in the report I sent you, and for you to present the award to Jiran, it would be more sincere if you prepared the prize yourself." It was undeniable that Qin Jiran was the best artist of the year, having won the Starlight Award for Best Actor. Not just within Splendid Entertainment, but across the entire entertainment industry, it was undisputed that he deserved the title, with the Starlight Award being the most influential film award domestically.

Su Yanyi had indeed seen the report, but hadn’t looked at it closely. It was just a celebration banquet, after all, and she didn’t find it particularly important. In past years, Kang Zhong had arranged everything well, so there was no need to bother her. Besides, her thoughts these past few days had been on her nephew, truly neglecting this matter.

However, the fact that Qin Jiran was named the company’s best artist was within her expectations, so it wasn’t much of a surprise.

"What kind of prize do you think would be good?" Su Yanyi asked seriously, feeling somewhat moved. This was mainly because she thought of the Christmas gift Qin Jiran had given her. At that time, she had forgotten to prepare and ended up hastily inviting him to dinner, which already lacked sincerity, not to mention romance.

"It’s better if you think of it yourself." Kang Zhong had no intention of helping. He thought this was a kind gesture, feeling that their president was a bit too aloof and probably couldn’t think of anything warm and romantic like giving a gift. So, he intended to use this opportunity to get the president to be a bit romantic for once. As her assistant, he was certainly attentive.

After some thought, Su Yanyi suddenly thought of something and her face immediately changed; the transformation was so overt that Kang Zhong, seeing this, became curious. What on earth had the president thought of?

"You may leave for now, I’ll take care of it," Su Yanyi dismissed Kang Zhong and then started to ponder with some apprehension.

She had been deliberately ignoring an issue these past few days: the system’s Upgrade Task. She couldn’t imagine what madness had possessed the System to come up with such an absurd task—it was practically a joke!

Make a pair of black underwear for Qin Jiran by hand! Just thinking about this demand made Su Yanyi feel like she had lines of frustration all over her head, wanting to drag Zero Zero One and that system voice out and give them a good beating. Then they wouldn’t dare issue such an idiotic task!

"Zero Zero One, who exactly came up with this system task? It wasn’t your idea, was it?" Su Yanyi asked with murderous intent!

Zero Zero One shrank its little head, and even though it had conjured up an image of itself, it was very far from Su Yanyi and started explaining in a very soft voice.

"I’m just an assistant to the System; such a task is definitely not my idea. It’s a result of the System’s own speculation based on needs, I swear!" Zero Zero One lifted its pudgy little fingers towards the sky, looking absolutely uninvolved.

Su Yanyi snorted in disbelief but didn’t press any further, instead falling silent again to consider the feasibility of the task.
