Preliminary competition, Group A venue.
Thirty students were ready.
Four judges had arrived, but there was an empty chair in the middle, prompting a wave of curious whispering.
Who was the fifth judge?
At that moment,
in the underground passage of the venue, a woman dressed in a fashionable long dress, flanked by a female assistant and a female secretary, walked with a lofty posture.
"Welcome—"
The ninth seat's Rui Shan clapped his hands in greeting at the passage.
"Miss Chiben, I believe I notified you that the competition begins at 11 a.m., you are 10 minutes late," Rui Shan said, pointing at his watch, his tone dissatisfied.
"Ha!"
The woman invited as a judge chuckled lightly, took off her large sunglasses, and revealed a glamorously mature face.
"Do you know how difficult it is for us to spare a minute?" she coldly retorted, "Mr. Rui Shan, you're asking knowingly, aren't you?"
