Chapter 239: 239 At the same time, I am also Boss A.
The host and Kong Lin exchanged pleasantries on stage for a long while, and eventually, Kong Lin was also announced as the award presenter.
The time finally reached today’s most important award presentation segment.
At that moment, the host invited Yilong’s CEO to come out and share his views on the event.
The man’s glamorous appearance on stage almost made Shi Lan forget the disgusting filth behind his facade.
“‘Demon Hundred Orders’ holds a grand submission ceremony every year, gathering top artists and designers from both domestic and international sources, and this time is no exception. On this grand day, in this moment filled with joy and achievement, we will announce the full list of winners of this year’s ‘Demon Hundred Orders’ award, and present them with trophies and cash prizes.”
“I believe everyone has been eagerly waiting tonight, so I won’t waste any more time, let’s invite our award presenter to the stage.”
The award presenter was Kong Lin, and as she took the stage, the screen at the center displayed the winners’ work and their scores.

Kong Lin stood at the center of the stage, holding a script, and then spoke into the microphone, “Now, let’s hold our breaths, because I am about to announce the top three winners of this ‘Demon Hundred Orders’ character collection contest, who will receive cash prizes of one million, eight hundred thousand, and six hundred thousand respectively. Please allow me to reveal the results immediately.”
“The third-place winner, ‘Heart’s Sun and Moon’, winning work ‘Silver Demon’, with a final vote count of nineteen million eight hundred thousand.”
“The second-place winner, ‘Raised Four Cats’, winning work ‘Po Suo’s Tears’, with a final vote count of twenty-four million five hundred thousand.”
“The first-place winner, Boss A, winning work ‘Two-faced Demon Child’, with a final vote count of eighty-six million seven hundred thousand.”
“Congratulations to the three of you, and please come up on stage to receive your awards.”
As the rousing music started playing, the three winners, seated in the front row, went up to the stage guided by the staff.
Two of them were dressed in elaborate attire, only the last one was wrapped up tightly, not leaving a single gap.
She looked very young and composed. Although dressed plainly, whether the camera was on her or not, she remained undisturbed and ripple-less.
Kong Lin first presented the third and second place awards, allowing the winners to give their somewhat stumbling speeches. When the two had moved aside, Kong Lin, with a smile, handed over the trophy and certificate to Shi Lan, inviting her to come forward and say a few words.
Holding the trophy, Shi Lan stepped forward two steps, stood in front of the microphone, but her first words were not of thanks, but, “You must all be very curious about what I look like.”
At this, some people in the audience felt her voice was very familiar.
But they just couldn’t recall who it reminded them of.
“Especially receiving this trophy from Kong Lin’s hands, I find it incredibly ironic.”
At that moment, the spotlight on the stage was all on Shi Lan, and no one understood what she was trying to say until she raised her right hand, revealing the grotesque scar on her wrist. Then, screams erupted from the audience.
“Is that An Lan?”
“That scar… and this voice, it really sounds like her.”
“Impossible, right? How could An Lan be Boss A?”
While everyone in the audience was in an uproar, Shi Lan used her left hand to remove her fisherman’s hat and took off her black mask, completely revealing her true face to everyone.
“Yes, I am An Lan, and I am also Boss A.”
Everyone: “!!!”
“Holy shit, this is too intense!”
“How is this possible?”
The whole venue was in turmoil, whether on stage or off, everyone was plunged into a frenzy of shock and doubt. How could the person taking away the first prize from Yilong’s event possibly be An Lan?
Did Yilong really not know? Don’t they verify identities? Could this be their publicity stunt?
Mr. Gao from Yilong was backstage. When he heard the two words “An Lan,” his mind went blank.
This is impossible. A mere artist, how could she possibly be so talented? She must have used some means to push the real Boss A aside. Otherwise, none of this makes sense.
Kong Lin and the other two award winners were also petrified on stage because this scene was too absurd to believe.
Mr. Gao couldn’t care about anything else. He asked the recording team to stop recording and personally went on stage, approaching Shi Lan and said, “Miss An, you’ve taken this joke too far, haven’t you? We verified the identity of Boss A. His name is An Zhen.”
Shi Lan chuckled lightly, pulled out her ID card from her jacket, and showed the complete photo: “An Lan is my stage name. My real name is An Zhen. Any problem with that?”
Mr. Gao snatched the ID card from Shi Lan’s hand, verified it several times, and ultimately had to confirm An Lan’s identity.
“Miss An, as everyone knows, you’re a film academy student who has never formally studied painting. It’s even less likely that you could produce something like this. Did you buy this work? I apologize, but it’s not just our officials who are doubtful, I believe everyone present is, how could you, an actress…”
“Of course, I knew you would question this, so let’s verify it on the spot. ‘Demon Child,’ I have another set of associated leather outfits not submitted in the submission mailbox. Just let me paint now, and we’ll know if this Boss A is really worthy, right?” Shi Lan was very calm as she enjoyed Mr. Gao’s frantic expression.
“During the ‘Demon Hundred Orders’ submission, I was full of hope, thinking it was a great learning opportunity, so I submitted my work. I never thought it would lead to a series of events. Mr. Qin, as well as Mr. Gao here, full of malice towards women, trampled on me again and again, and never offered a sincere apology from start to finish.”
“Today I’m standing here to tell you, it’s not Yilong choosing me, it’s me, An Lan, choosing you.”
Mr. Gao was in a difficult position at this moment. With so many in the audience, he couldn’t possibly obscure the situation and simply declare Shi Lan’s submission invalid.
“Alright, I’ll give you this chance. If you can’t produce a piece as excellent as ‘Demon Child,’ Yilong will immediately declare your results invalid due to cheating. However, if you prove you indeed have the skills, I will bow and apologize to you here, and additionally, I’ll publish an apology for three days.”
“You said so.”
“But we can’t just wait for you alone. You must give me a time limit.”
“Half an hour.”
Hearing this half-hour, even professional artists were stunned because this wasn’t a matter of speed. Each character creation would involve a great deal of thought and time.
But this Boss A, only needed half an hour?
“I’ll give you half an hour then. The staff will set up the equipment immediately.”
All the guests at the venue were sweating for Shi Lan. What kind of bravery is this, daring to challenge the entirety of Yilong in such a setting?
“If An Lan really is Boss A, then this moment with Yilong and Kong Lin just got really embarrassing.”
