Chapter 312 The Cold Marshal Is Not Cold 26

In a spacious and solemn interstellar hall, pharmacists from various planets and important figures from all walks of life gathered.

The lights were bright, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.

The president of the Interstellar Alliance Pharmacists Association walked to the center of the stage. He was dressed in a solemn robe and looked serious and solemn.

The president cleared his throat, and his voice spread throughout the hall through the advanced loudspeaker equipment: "Dear guests, today we are welcoming the important moment of the pharmacist competition held every ten years - the announcement of the champion."

The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the exciting name.

The president went on to say: "In this competition, we have seen the wonderful performances of many outstanding pharmacists, who have demonstrated superb skills and unlimited creativity. After several rounds of fierce competition and the rigorous and fair judgment of the judges, now, I am honored to announce that the champion of this pharmacist competition is - Chao Yao!"

As the president finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the hall.

The lights focused on where Chao Yao was sitting. Chao Yao stood up, smiling, with excitement flashing in his eyes, and slowly walked onto the stage under the gaze of everyone.

The president personally handed the trophy symbolizing the glory of the championship to Chao Yao, and put the dazzling championship medal on her.

Chao Yao took the trophy, bowed deeply to the audience, and said: "Thank you for your support and recognition. I will continue to work hard and contribute more to the pharmacist career!"

There was warm applause from the audience again, and the entire hall was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and celebration.

After Chao Yao won the championship, the Interstellar Alliance Pharmacists Association carefully organized an unprecedented, grand and solemn celebration for her.

The event site was beautifully decorated, as if it was a dreamland from the depths of the stars.

Countless decorative elements full of interstellar characteristics are spread across every corner, and the dazzling energy gems emit charming light, like stars.

The peculiarly shaped metal sculptures show the mysterious forms of interstellar creatures.

There are also exotic plants from distant galaxies, blooming colorful flowers and emitting charming fragrance.

The bright lights interweave with each other, forming a series of gorgeous light curtains.

Some are like flowing galaxies, shining brightly;

Some are like dreamy rainbows, colorful.

These lights made the entire event scene look dreamy, making people feel as if they were in an interstellar world full of fantasy.

Celebrities from all walks of life, senior pharmacists and many enthusiasts came to congratulate.

A variety of exquisite food and drinks were provided on site, and people gathered in groups of three or five to exchange their experiences in pharmacy and their vision for the future.

Only the Pharmacists Association can be so generous. Who doesn’t drink nutrient solution on a daily basis?

Chao Yao discovered that all the delicious food used for the post-game celebration of the pharmacist competition was bought from her store.

Just as she was secretly delighted, the president of the Interstellar Alliance Pharmacist Association walked onto the stage, smiled at everyone, then focused his gaze on Chao Yao and said, "Dear friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate Chao Yao's victory in the Pharmacist Competition!"

"Chaoyao stood out among many outstanding contestants with her outstanding talent, profound knowledge and innovative thinking. Every time she prepared a recipe, she showed her deep understanding and infinite love for pharmacy."

"She not only won honor for herself, but also set a new benchmark for the pharmacist industry in our entire interstellar alliance."

"Chaoyao, your achievements make us extremely proud. We believe that under your leadership, more young pharmacists will devote themselves to this great cause and contribute more to the health and development of the Interstellar Alliance! Let us applaud Chaoyao again!"

The audience burst into applause. Chao Yao walked onto the stage amid everyone's anticipation. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she said in a firm and powerful voice: "Dear President, dear friends, I feel extremely honored and excited to be able to stand here."

“First of all, I would like to thank the Interstellar Alliance Pharmacists Association for providing us with such a platform to showcase ourselves, allowing us to continue to explore and progress in the field of pharmacy.”

"I would also like to thank my mentors and my partners for helping and supporting me when I was lost and confused. This championship not only belongs to me, but also to everyone who supports and cares about me."

"I know that this is just a new starting point. In the future, I will continue to work hard, continue to study, contribute all my strength to promote the development of pharmacy, and live up to everyone's expectations of me!"

Chao Yao's speech once again won thunderous applause from the audience, and the celebration continued in a cheerful and warm atmosphere.

Ye Fufeng watched quietly from upstairs, his eyes always following Chao Yao, his eyes full of pride and affection.

He was wearing a simple yet elegant black suit, his posture was straight, but he couldn't hide his inner excitement.

Looking at Chao Yao shining on the stage, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and his heart was filled with joy.

When Chao Yao finished his speech, Ye Fufeng could no longer suppress his inner impulse. He quickly walked down the stairs, walked through the crowd, and came to Chao Yao's side.

He gently held Chao Yao's hand and whispered in her ear: "I know that all of this will be yours."

Chao Yao tilted her head slightly, a brighter smile bloomed on her face, her eyes full of tenderness and love. She gently held Ye Fufeng's hand back, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Because you have always been by my side and supported me."

Then, she leaned her head on Ye Fufeng's shoulder, and the momentary reliance fully demonstrated her dependence and trust.

When people around saw this heartwarming scene, they all cast their blessings and envious glances at them.

But in this gaze, the Qiu family was particularly different.

"Chao Yao and Ye Fufeng are so close, is there something good about to happen?"

Qiu Hong frowned and asked the secretary general beside him.

"One is the champion of the pharmacist competition, and the other is the marshal of the First Legion. With these two people combined, it seems that we can only win them over."

Qiu Hong listened to the secretary general's words, thought for a moment and then said: "Prepare a generous gift, and we will visit Chao Yao in person tomorrow."

The next day, Qiu Hong brought his wife and carefully prepared gifts to Chao Yao's residence.

Chao Yao and Ye Fufeng were talking in the house. When Chao Yao heard the robot informing him of Qiu Hong's visit, his face instantly darkened.

Ye Fufeng noticed her change and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"When I was participating in the finals of the Pharmacist Competition, Qiu Shimiao blocked the signal on the cliff of Lingyun Star and wanted to kill me, but she was not strong enough and I killed her in return. I think Qiu Shimiao should not be able to do this with her own ability. The Qiu family may have helped."

"Don't be afraid, first see what they are here for."

"I'm not afraid, but I'm annoyed. Why is this family beating the young and then the old?"

"If you don't want to see him, then don't meet him. He's not an important person anyway."

Ye Fufeng didn't care about it, his Yaoyao was free to make any choice.

"It's okay. I also want to see what they are up to."

The robot let them in.

Chao Yao and Ye Fufeng stood up together and went to the living room to greet Qiu Hong and his wife.

Madam Qiu Hong's face was full of smiles. She was the first to speak: "Miss Chaoyao, congratulations on winning the Pharmacist Competition. You are really young and promising! Look at your temperament and talent. You must have a bright future!"

Chao Yao looked cold and alert, and said, "Mrs. Qiu, thank you for your compliments, but I am a little confused by this sudden congratulation. I wonder why you two are here today?"

Qiu Hong quickly answered with a flattering look on his face: "Miss Chaoyao, we came here today to congratulate you on winning the championship, and secondly, to make friends with you. You now hold an important position in the Interstellar Alliance, and our Qiu family has always respected outstanding talents like you."

Chao Yao looked at them, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You two, I don't quite understand, how can a small pharmacist like me have any chance to cooperate with your Qiu family?"

Madam Qiu Hong said hurriedly, "Miss Chaoyao, please don't underestimate yourself. Your talent and influence cannot be underestimated. Our Qiu family has resources in many fields. If we can join hands with you, we will definitely be able to create more value."

"Do you know about Qiu Shimiao's situation?"

This family is pretending to be ignorant even though they know the truth!

Qiu Hong's face changed slightly, and then she laughed dryly and said, "Miss Chaoyao, Qiu Shimiao is indeed my illegitimate daughter, but she has always behaved erratically, and our Qiu family has no idea what she has done."

"So you guys don't know what she did before?"

Madam Qiu Hong said hurriedly, "Miss Chaoyao, we really don't know about this. That girl is willful and reckless on weekdays, and we can't control her. I don't know what she did to anger Miss Chaoyao?"

Chao Yao sneered and said, "Since you don't know, I won't say much. But you guys didn't come here just to say these polite words, right?"

Qiu Hong smiled awkwardly, and quickly asked his men to present the prepared gift, saying, "Miss Chaoyao, this is a little gift from our Qiu family, I hope you will accept it."

Chao Yao glanced at the gifts but did not reach out to take them. He said calmly, "No merit, no reward. I dare not easily accept this gift from Patriarch Qiu."

Ye Fufeng had been silent on the side until now, and now he said, "Master Qiu, it's not too late to give this gift after you have made your words clear."

Seeing this, Madam Qiu Hong hurriedly said, "Miss Chaoyao, Marshal Ye, our Qiu family sincerely wants to make peace with you. There may be some misunderstandings about what happened before, but we promise that similar things will never happen again in the future."

Chao Yao looked at their anxious expressions and knew that they must have some plan, but he still said, "Since Madam Qiu has said so, I would like to hear what the Qiu family plans to do after the repair is completed."
