Chapter 946: Many Champions
To show respect for the grand event and appear approachable, Dan Youguo naturally stood at the end of the red carpet. Dressed formally, he looked both commanding and supremely amiable.
After all, as the President of a nation, his presence and demeanor were undeniably powerful.
Di Mingzhe was also present, standing beside Dan Youguo.
He merely curled his lips in a faint smile, his eyes holding a touch of indifference, but his handsome face still attracted many admiring gazes.
He, too, was in formal attire, a black suit, white shirt, and meticulously tied black tie.
With a cool complexion and a calm and steady presence, he stood there radiating even more gravity and nobility than Dan Youguo.
Upon seeing Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao, the coolness on his face softened somewhat, and the curve of his lips rose higher.
Of course, Dan Lingling attended such an occasion—it was what she had dreamt of.
Unfortunately, she had no right to stand next to Dan Youguo; she was merely the chief interpreter.
Since the Empire was not a hereditary royal nation, the status of the President’s daughter was quite insignificant at such a time.
Therefore, she stood towards the back of a large group of officials, essentially overlooked.
Even if there were photos, at best, one might only glimpse her face amid the officials.
Watching such a scene, her heart filled with immense irritation. She loathed and detested these events the most.
She was indeed the President’s own daughter, yet she had no right to stand by his side, basking in the attention and admiration.
Instead, she saw Di Mingzhe standing out prominently, dignified and commanding, relishing in the privileged respect from the masses.
She knew of Di Mingchen and Di Mingjue, and what annoyed her now was that even Di Mingchen and Di Mingjue received more exposure than her.
She saw Gu Qibao and guessed that she must be Di Mingjue’s wife.
Her heart burned with frustration and annoyance. Even the wife of a contestant now appeared a hundred times more noble than her, naturally enjoying the glory her husband brought.
And she, she was nothing standing here!
This feeling of insignificance, others simply couldn’t understand!
Only she knew how uncomfortable it was for her.
She watched them receiving admiring and even envious glances, witnessed their refined smiles, and felt even more aggrieved inside.
She was filled with hatred and resentment!
Guided by Di Mingjue, Miss Gu Qibao slowly walked on the red carpet—a first-time experience that truly put her in the spotlight.
The Rubik’s Cube competition was included in an international contest for the first time, and as a newly added event, it definitely stood apart from existing categories.
Everyone eagerly awaited the rise of this new milestone.
As they walked slowly, they heard the pleasant voice of the announcer introducing and recounting the achievements of the contestants.
"Now what we see are Mr. Di Mingjue and his wife Miss Gu Qibao. Mr. Di Mingjue won his first crown five years ago at an international Rubik’s Cube competition in F Country, although it’s a pity that the Rubik’s Cube event was not yet officially included in the world sports categories at that time.
Nevertheless, Mr. Di Mingjue conquered the world of Rubik’s Cube with his outstanding performance five years ago, and his time record has yet to be broken, making him our country’s premier Rubik’s Cube expert.
At that Rubik’s Cube competition, he alone took the championships for the three to five-layer blindfolded solving, the odd-shaped cube single-handed solving, the three-layer multi-blindfolded solving, and also the mixed solving championship that had only emerged five years ago... It is said that Mr. Di Mingjue himself was the proponent and initiator of mixed solving."
Hearing this succession of championships and the title of initiator!
Miss Gu Qibao was truly astonished; she hadn’t realized Di Mingjue was so impressive.
