Zhou Sese shook hands with the other party and said very sincerely, "Hello, teacher, our child signed up for this speech contest, but our home is far away and we were delayed on the way here, so we are late. Can you give us a number and give our child another chance?"

The judge shook his head solemnly and said righteously, "Sorry, being late is being late. Arriving on time is the first step in the selection process for the speech contest. We don't welcome people who don't have a sense of time. It's not like you suddenly realized you lived far away. If you knew you lived so far away, why couldn't you get up a little earlier this morning? Or why couldn't you have come last night?"

Zhou Sese took a deep breath, her eyes slightly moist, "Teacher, to be honest, our child has made sufficient preparations for this speech contest, and he really needs this opportunity."

If I miss this speech contest, let alone getting a ranking, I guess... I guess it will be difficult to pass Teacher Yan's test after I go back.

Zhou Sese was very afraid that this would cast a psychological shadow on Xingxing, causing him to no longer be active in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor matters, and turning himself into a learning machine.

Perhaps moved by Zhou Sese's motherly heart, the judge still insisted, "I can understand your feelings, but the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. I'm sorry, I look forward to seeing your child here next year."

Zhou Sese raised her eyes and looked at another judge.

The judge at the moment smiled and said to Zhou Sese, "No matter which judge you go to, we can't open a back door for your child. Go back. Remember to abide by the time concept next time."

The host on the stage had just finished his curtain call.

Thunderous applause broke out.

Amidst the loud applause, Zhou Sese stood at the front, while Sheng Xijiang and the child stood at the back.

The family looked at each other across the crowd.

Zhou Sese bit the corner of her lip.

Xingxing smiled and waved to Zhou Sese. Zhou Sese took a deep breath and approached the child and the man step by step.
