Wow! This year's event is really impressive! We even took the very middle route.
"What else can we do? We're the champions, what other way would we take if not the middle one?"
"Yeah, haha, I'm a little nervous about walking the red carpet for the first time."
"Who isn't? How should we proceed? We can't lose face, so let's practice first."
"You guys, just shut up. With Xinghe around, nobody's watching you."
"Shiman, can you please stop putting us down? You've been putting us down again and again today. If you keep doing this, we'll all feel even more inferior and won't dare to walk the red carpet."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about you anymore. Sister Xueying, what do the organizers want with Xinghe?"
"I don't know that. You'll have to ask Xinghe. We didn't go anywhere. We just happened to run into each other on our way back and came back together."
"Xinghe, tell us quickly, what did they say to you?"
"Yeah, Xinghe, tell me about it!"
"They just took me to a room where the president of the Olympic Committee and a few other people, who were probably leaders, were present. They shook hands with me first, and then told me that I had won the Best Athlete award at this year's Olympics and that I should go up on stage to receive the award later."
"Haha, Xinghe, that's impressive. At 18, you won the FMVP as a key player. Amazing! Karen won it last time, right?"
“Yes, Karen’s performance last year was outstanding. We won because of our teamwork. But this time, we won because of Xinghe. The FMVP goes to Xinghe, no problem!” Qin Xueying explained.
"Star River, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
"Yes, Xinghe, do you know what the benefits of being an FMVP are?"
Wang Xinghe really didn't know what the use of being the best player was.
"Oh my, Xinghe, it's obvious you don't understand. Getting this FMVP means you've caught the attention of many top math experts. They'll invite you to visit their labs for exchanges, and even mentor you on projects."
"You should know that the last senior from China who won the FMVP award is now a research fellow at one of the world's top laboratories, the Gamma Lab. His future is limitless!"
"Isn't it a bit much to tell Xinghe that he has a bright future? With Xinghe's net worth, does he even need that kind of future?"
"Haha, that's right, I got too excited."
"I believe knowledge is priceless, and if possible, I would like to exchange ideas with some of the world's top laboratories."
"Xinghe, you are right to have this idea. Let's try to open one in our country. Right now, China does not have the world's top mathematics laboratory. This is behind the West."
"Okay, I'll try my best."
"Xinghe, if you become the boss, can you let me in through the back door to serve tea and water?"
"Yes, Xinghe, I'll go too. I'll help you clean and take care of your daily life."
Everyone was joking around when the host on stage came out.
The event began with a long warm-up segment in English. The big screen next to the podium and the screens around the stadium played highlights of this year's athletes, which made everyone's blood boil. These were precious moments they left behind, and highlights of their lives.
Then the awards ceremony began, with each winning team standing in the designated order in the passage behind their respective red carpet.
A grand awards ceremony is about to begin.
Starting with the tenth team, each team's entrance was unique, with them wearing their national team uniforms, making this moment a source of national pride.
"Damn it, this time they've made such a big deal out of it. It feels like last year we participated in a beggar's version of the Mathematical Olympiad."
"Yes, I didn't expect the organizers, who are usually so stingy, to be so generous."
I initially thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true. This award ceremony was indeed sponsored, and the sponsor was none other than Su Muqing. Before the competition started, Su Muqing contacted the committee of the International Mathematical Olympiad and donated a large sum of money to them. Otherwise, why would they have stayed in a five-star hotel and held such a grand award ceremony?
This money was donated free of charge by Su Muqing, and even now, the International Mathematical Olympiad Committee still doesn't know who donated it.
As each winning team took the stage, it was time for the fifth-placed South Island team to step up. Li Jiaming was extremely excited, draped in the national flag, and walked at the front. The South Island reporters were frantically snapping photos, as this was a historic moment for them.
When the Eagles took to the field, only Karen was there. She had sent all the other players away. When they got to the podium, Karen took the silver medal, threw him into the press box, put her hands in her pockets, and walked away.
"Karen can't accept defeat, can she?"
That's just his personality.
"It seems that the Chinese team was right to win. If they had won the championship, I don't know how arrogant they would have become."
"Yes, look how humble the Chinese team is!"
Karen lost face and dignity in front of reporters from various countries.
The host paused, and his voice rose several decibels.
"Let's welcome this year's champions, who are also the defending champions of the previous Mathematical Olympiad, winning the championship for two consecutive years! Team China!"
Dean Zhu led Qin Xueying and the others out of the passage and onto the red carpet. All eyes were on them; they were the most eye-catching people in the venue.
From the start of the red carpet to the podium, it only takes two minutes, but those two minutes felt like an eternity.
Someone muttered, "Holy crap, I feel like my legs are going to give way."
"I'm soft too, I tremble, I'm an i person."
"Damn it, this is making me socially awkward. But Xinghe seems completely unfazed. Could he be a hidden E-person?"
"Okay, keep smiling, don't look around, look straight ahead," Qin Xueying said softly, pursing her lips.
Finally, I got to the podium.
The host walked towards Qin Xueying and the others with a microphone in hand.
"Congratulations! It's you again this time. Captain Qin, as a two-time champion, do you have anything to say?"
Qin Xueying took the microphone and said, "It is an honor to win the championship for two consecutive years. This is the result of everyone's hard work, and we are very happy to defend our title."
"What are your expectations for the next term?"
"For the next three tournaments at least, our Chinese team will be the champions."
After Qin Xueying finished speaking, the entire audience was in an uproar, as no one expected her to say such a thing.
Why did Captain Qin say that?
Qin Xueying smiled slightly and handed the microphone to Wang Xinghe.
"Because of him!"
