An hour passed, and finally the most exciting moment of the evening came.

The host went on stage again and looked at the audience. He cheerfully said, "Should I now announce the winner of the Future Project?"

His question took everyone's breath away, and all the people were listening to what the host had to say.

He loudly and clearly announced, "The final winner of the Future Project is the JS Group!"

With a big smile on his face, the host said, "Let's welcome now Selina Lu, the CEO of the JS Group, to come onstage and say a few words."

With a burst of applause, Selina went on the stage and shook hands with the host. She took the microphone from him, and with a big smile on her face she proudly addressed the audience in front of her.
