Wucheng Honghe Technology Building, 9:10 PM Beijing time.
Although it's only mid-June, the weather in Sichuan and Chongqing is never ordinary. It rained at four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still water on the main road even now that it's evening. When the wind blows, the raindrops on the trees hit the back of your neck, which can still make you shiver from the cold.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
"Click, click, click!"
"Crack! Crack!"
Under the spotlight, reporters of different skin colors frantically snapped photos of the red carpet in an attempt to capture the best angles, while experienced reporters simply put away their cameras and bent down to adjust their equipment.
—Generally, at such large-scale galas, the last person to appear is the main character. No matter how many fans the celebrities have or how strong their influence is on Weibo, there can only be one main character on this red carpet tonight.
Time ticked by until 9:20, and the atmosphere in the crowd began to grow tense.
"Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Ren Honghe isn't going to skip tonight, is she?"
"That's impossible. The officials have personally confirmed that President Ren will be there tonight. There can't be any unexpected situation, can there?"
“Автомо6иль Red Wo еще не появился, но мы 6удем следить 3а этим. (Ren Honghe's car hasn't appeared yet, but we will continue to follow up and report.)”
"Hey? Lao Zhang, weren't you supposed to be staking out the industrial park? Did you see President Ren's car leave?"
“I am Omila, a reporter for International News. I can see that media from all over the world are waiting for Ren Honghe to appear here. Oh my god, I have to say that this is too arrogant, I mean…”
"Hey editor-in-chief, yes, yes, I'm still waiting here..."
"?????????????????,?????????????????,??????????????????.???????????????! (A reporter from the Republic of Korea is reporting from here. You can see the building behind me; its shape is similar to the Blue House (the presidential residence). We can interpret this as some kind of signal...)"
The next second, someone shouted in English:
"Ren! It's Ren's car! Ren Honghe is here!!"
—This shout was uttered with almost all his strength.
The crowd erupted into a frenzy, like a lake tossed with a hot iron ball. Whether it was the fans watching from the outside, the media holding microphones, or the staff inside the cordon, everyone sprang into action at that moment, their eyes fixed on the black van that drove into the scene.
...
...
"Ren! Please look at the camera!"
"Mr. Ren! Mr. Ren! We are from New Freedom Media!! May I take a minute of your time?"
“Sch?ne Dame, bitte werfen Sie einen Blick in die Kamera!” (Beautiful lady, please look at the camera!)
"Ahhhhhh! Mr. Ren, I love you!!"
"It's Ren Honghe! Ahhhhh!"
“По3воль мне лю6ить те6я. (I love you! Ren!)”
Xu Milu sat in the back seat of the car. Looking out the one-way window, the car was packed with people. Countless unfamiliar faces beamed with smiles, a mixture of admiration, suspicion, curiosity, excitement, worship, jealousy, and longing...
[Host, your heart is beating very fast.]
Xu Milu subconsciously touched her chest and, sure enough, felt her heart pounding fiercely. She couldn't help but smile.
“I thought I would be nervous—Xiao Qi, look outside.”
[I see many people, host. They are all waiting for you to appear.]
Xu Milu let out a soft breath, calming herself down:
"Xiao Qi, although I know it's impossible, I still have this illusion that right now, at this moment, in this place, the eyes of the whole world are fixed on me."
The system, unusually deep in thought, did not answer her question.
...
...
The car was black, and the door remained closed for a long time. The host, standing at the end of the red carpet, immediately realized, based on her extensive hosting experience, that an emergency might have occurred.
"Director, it seems there's been a problem with President Ren. Should we have security personnel check on him?"
The security team has arrived, and all staff are in position. Mr. Ren will be entering shortly. Ensure security is in place. To reiterate, Mr. Ren will be entering shortly.
Security personnel jogged along, and the waiter responsible for opening the door, upon receiving a signal from the people inside the car, immediately opened the heavy door.
