Chapter 952: He Must Be Even More Skillful Now
The reporters were momentarily gobsmacked, blood rushing to their faces, and it took them a moment to regroup before hurriedly saying, "So it really is you, we have long admired you. So you, it turns out, have a truly remarkable presence."
The reporters were so excited that their words started tumbling out all at once. Exceptional individuals always have an awe-inspiring aura, and it wasn’t about brown-nosing or flattering.
It’s because their capabilities are laid out for all to see, and you can’t help but respect them.
Then someone asked, "So you really are the wealthiest person in our country, and I have heard that you are also a philanthropist, though you rarely appear in the media."
It’s not that he rarely appeared, it was rather that he hadn’t appeared at all.
Di Mingjue’s lips curved in a slight, gracious smile and he elegantly began, "Charity is something everyone who can afford should engage in; I wouldn’t call myself a philanthropist, just doing my part where I can."
Hearing Di Mingjue respond like this, Gu Qibao instantly felt her husband was so classy and impressive.
But she knew Di Mingjue wasn’t just posturing, because his heart was truly upright and kind.
The reporters became both excited and curious for gossip, yet with limited interview time, they had to hurry to ask more questions.
Since today was devoted to the sports meet, they couldn’t dwell too much on personal matters.
After all, there would be plenty of other chances to interview him in the future.
Other competitors were also being interviewed, though clearly not drawing as much excitement as Di Mingjue did.
Shen Yilan, however, was attracting several reporters. After all, being a woman, and one who played cube games at that, was quite rare among the thirty competitors—she was the only one.
So, of course, this was also a significant highlight.
Though Shen Yilan was being interviewed, she couldn’t help but glance over at Di Mingjue.
Watching Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao holding hands, and seeing how crowded it was around him, she felt particularly uneasy.
How wonderful it would have been if she were standing beside Di Mingjue, discussing cube games together during the interview.
After all, didn’t she and Di Mingjue share a common hobby?
The worst thing a person can have is jealousy, for once it festers, nothing seems good anymore.
At that moment, the reporters were intently interviewing Shen Yilan, asking professionally,
"Miss Shen, as a girl you excel at cube games, your family must be very supportive."
"Absolutely," Shen Yilan responded generously yet inwardly felt a secret thrill, "Cube games aren’t just competitive games, they are fun and quite challenging. So whether it’s my family or friends, they all support it a lot, and some even come to me for advice."
The reporters smiled, but internally they felt that her response was a bit show-offish.
"Your performance was impressive five years ago, after such a gap, you must have improved significantly, haven’t you?"
"I’ve practiced over these five years, but everyone is progressing. As I improve, so do my rivals. Take my senior, Mr. Di Mingjue, for example; his skills must have become much more sophisticated over these five years."
Shen Yilan surprisingly steered the conversation back to Di Mingjue, a move that was quite unexpected.
Some were curious, yet others worried about Shen Yilan’s emotional intelligence, as everyone was a competitor, neither raising the other in discussion nor holding each other in overt regard.
Since this was their first international competition, humility was the prevailing attitude—who would dare brag?
Yet there she was, praising Di Mingjue. It was unclear whether she was deliberately flattering, or pushing Di Mingjue into the spotlight.
The interview footage wasn’t live but would be edited and integrated into the report.
