Lu Mengmeng pursed her lips. She could feel many eyes directed at her from behind.
Unable to let the awkward situation continue, she turned around and waved at Jiang Cheng, then walked up to the podium in small steps.
When the host saw her finally come up, he introduced her to everyone with a smile.
"Okay, then, let's give the warmest applause to Mr. Li, the chairman of the National Chess Committee, to present the award to the champion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the warmest applause rang out again.
The crowd's shocked discussions merged with the applause.
"What? The chairman is here today? He has never shown up in all the youth chess competitions in the past!"
"This is really the first time! Is there anything special today?"
"That little guy is really lucky!"
Mr. Li walked over with a smile on his face, and someone handed him a certificate of honor.
He took it, and then solemnly presented it to Lu Mengmeng, with unstoppable praise in his eyes.
Lu Mengmeng took it sweetly. She thought about it and did not forget to shake hands with Mr. Li.
As far as I can remember, this was always the case when my parents received awards and got promoted!
She is such a clever little girl!
Mr. Li laughed and shook hands with the child who was much shorter than him.
The host led the applause: "Let us congratulate Lu Mengmeng for winning the championship of this competition. Next, she will represent the country in the Global Youth Chess Championship. Let us congratulate her in advance for achieving satisfactory results in the global competition!"
There was another round of applause.
The host continued to follow the process: "Okay, thank you Mr. Li, next, it's the champion's turn to give his acceptance speech."
She handed the microphone to Lu Mengmeng.
"Little Lu Mengmeng, do you have anything to say?"
Lu Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "I want my mother to speak on my behalf."
Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting below and looking at his daughter with a satisfied face:???
Why did he suddenly point to me?
Gu Qingcheng thought she had misheard, and under the gazes of everyone around her, she quickly pulled Lu Shiyan.
"Shi Yan, pinch me quickly, why do I feel so unrealistic? I must still be sleeping!"
Lu Shiyan had no choice but to kiss her on the face: "Do you feel it, my wife?"
Of course there is a feeling.
It’s actually true.
To be honest, Gu Qingcheng had never thought that there would be such a step, and she really had not prepared anything.
Lu Mengmeng had already looked over here, and seeing her mother still sitting there stupidly, Lu Mengmeng asked the host very politely.
"Sister host, can I let my mother come on stage and speak for me?"
The host was stunned for a moment. The winners in previous years were all around 15 or 16 years old and were fully capable of making a complete speech on their own. However, this one was not even 10 years old and he believed that his language organization ability was not strong enough.
But to be able to be so outstanding, it must be the education from the parents that played a decisive role behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, the host said directly: "Of course, you are the champion, you have the final say."
A smile instantly appeared on Lu Mengmeng's face, and she even pointed in Gu Qingcheng's direction.
"My mom's there! She's already looked over here!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Is there a possibility that she did look over here, but her eyes were dull and her whole body was filled with a faint sense of death?
The host followed her gaze and invited, "Then, please give a warm round of applause to welcome the champion's mother to the stage to speak!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...
I deserve a girl like you.
The scene was quite large, and at first no one was sure who was the champion's mother. Now it was confirmed, and all attention was focused on this one.
The applause was quite loud. Gu Qingcheng felt like he was being forced into a desperate situation. The arrow was on the string and had to be shot.
Qiao Yueyue on the side said: "Qingcheng, don't worry, just close your eyes and you will be up in no time."
Gu Qingcheng: ...
What you said this time was very good, don’t say it next time.
