Chapter 502 - 502 489 Athlete Representative

502: Chapter 489: Athlete Representative 502: Chapter 489: Athlete Representative Yue Feng turned his head to look for the voice and noticed an old acquaintance, Zhou Ziqing, had also arrived to check in.

“Mr.

Hua, you guys go ahead, I’m heading over there first!”

After greeting him, Yue Feng walked towards Zhou Ziqing.

“Not bad, I saw the jokes Tiantian posted on the platform.

You’ve really improved your skills again!”

Zhou Ziqing didn’t act like a stranger at all after meeting Yue Feng; he chatted away cheerfully as if they were old friends.

Yue Feng: “Got lucky this time!

Who else came with you?

Just arrived?

Have you checked in yet?”

“Not yet, got a flat tire on the way, which delayed us!” While speaking, Zhou Ziqing glanced at the doll and Zhao Zheng from the corner of his eye.

“This is my girlfriend, and this is my friend Zhao Zheng!

We came together!” Yue Feng mumbled his introduction.

“Ah, nice to meet you!

I’m going to check in now.

Let’s chat over dinner tonight!”

Their casual chat didn’t last five minutes before Zhou Ziqing found an excuse to leave.

Zhao Zheng and Yue Feng looked at each other: “Where do we go now?”

Yue Feng scratched his head: “Didn’t they say there were original pond pellets?

Let’s go get some.

We shouldn’t forget about this!”

The doll said: “It seems like they’re by the convenience store.

I saw people carrying bags of pellets coming from there.”

“Let’s go have a look!”

The three of them strolled around and quickly found the place selling the original pond pellets.

The prices were reasonable too, with uncrushed mid-section 3mm diameter pellets at five yuan per half kilogram, and crushed ones at ten!

Whether they were useful or not, they definitely needed to buy some for preparation.

Yue Feng and Zhao Zheng each bought two large six-kilogram bags, which should be enough for tomorrow’s competition.

After putting the stuff back in the car, music also started playing through the speakers at the opening ceremony stage.

Anglers who arrived early gathered below the stage in groups, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Seeing this, Yue Feng and his companions followed suit, and soon, Tiantian called him.

“Hello?

What’s up, beautiful?”

“Are you guys at the venue?

Did the external affairs staff call you?” Tiantian sounded incredibly efficient and direct over the phone.

“Haven’t received any calls yet, we’re under the main stage.

What’s up?”

“Come to the backstage, good news!

It seems you ranked first in the preliminaries’ cumulative scores.

The committee has asked you to represent the athletes in taking the oath on stage!”

“What?” Yue Feng’s voice jumped an octave upon hearing about taking an oath on stage, thinking it was way too absurd.

“Yes, really!

The oath is already prepared.

Come to the backstage, and we’ll talk then!”

“Right!”

After hanging up, Yue Feng signaled to the doll and Zhao Zheng and headed straight to the backstage.

The Guangwei Fishing King Cup wasn’t just any ordinary competition but a super colossal event, far from those small-scale, fourth-category competitions.

The hosts, leaders from relevant departments, and mainstream media were all taken into serious consideration, making the opening ceremony very formal.

One could glimpse the scale of the event from the backstage staff who were getting makeup done.

After asking several people, Yue Feng found Tiantian, who was getting her hair done.

“Hello, you’re here, that was quick!” Tiantian, sitting on a stool, dared not move and gently waved at Yue Feng.

“Where’s the oath?”

“It’s in the drawer next to me, I’ve prepared it for you.

Grab it yourself!”

After the leaders finish speaking, the referee will come on stage on behalf of the refereeing panel to take an oath, and then it’s your turn to go up.

It’s okay to speak slowly, just try not to embarrass yourself.

There are quite a few mainstream media both online and offline at the site today!”

“Oh!” Yue Feng responded, opening the drawer next to him and retrieving a printed A4 sheet.

He glanced over it briefly.

There wasn’t anything challenging about it.

Yue Feng couldn’t achieve a professional broadcaster’s intonation, but reciting it fluently in standard Mandarin wouldn’t be a big problem.

“Any other precautions?

If not, I’ll head out first, I don’t want to hold you up backstage!”

“That’s it.

After the opening ceremony, there’s a dinner tonight at the auditorium behind the company.

It’s my territory, so I’ll have a few drinks with you guys in the evening!”

“Great!”

…

With the thin sheet of paper in hand, Yue Feng returned to the crowd and showed it to Wawa and Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng smirked, “Damn, is Guangwei so snobbish?

Picking an athlete representative without considering looks or character, just fishing skills?”

Before Yue Feng could speak, Wawa, not pleased, whispered with a hand over his mouth, “Even if we consider looks, Brother Zheng could just barely make the top five!

It’s still a bit lacking!”

Wawa was sharp, managing to express his thoughts while giving Zhao Zheng a way out.

“You say that, although debatable, it could at least rank in the top three!

Being on stage is such a great opportunity to stand out!”

Yue Feng, chuckling, said, “Forget it, if being handsome could be converted into money, you’d just about scrape by to make ends meet!

I’m different, a billionaire, with a bank balance that’s a string of zeros!”

“Cut it out, I think my looks can still be salvaged a bit!”

“Hahaha!”

…

As the three bantered, Yue Feng read over the paper several more times, silently rehearsed for a while, and finally got the phrasing smooth, then carefully folded it back and put it in his pocket.

A few minutes later, Tiantian and another pretty girl as the hosts took the stage to start the final equipment check, and after confirming everything was correct, the opening ceremony officially began.

The opening ceremony of the competition was more or less the same: the hosts took the stage to kick off, then a few leaders spoke, followed by the referee’s oath.

After the referee finished the oath, Tiantian said, “Next, please welcome the athlete representative Yue Feng to the stage to take the oath on behalf of all the competing athletes!”

Hearing this, Yue Feng took out the oath and walked confidently to the podium.

“Ladies and gentlemen, dignitaries, all staff of the organizing committee, and all competing anglers, good evening.

I represent all competing athletes and hereby take this oath…”

Having faced the camera for a long time, Yue Feng was not very nervous about such occasions anymore.

He read out the oath with clear articulation, and even Tiantian, with a background in broadcasting, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly in approval.

As Yue Feng represented the athletes on stage, he quickly caught the attention of several groups in the audience.

Among the crowd from Tianyuan Wuhan, Leng Xiaojun frowned and glanced at Yue Feng’s face, having almost no recollection of him, then turned to Ming Xiaodong.

“Xiao Dong, who is this guy on stage?

Do you know him?”

Ming Xiaodong, who knew almost every famous angler by name, found Yue Feng quite unfamiliar.

“I don’t know him, he looks pretty young, probably a fresh recruit from some club!”

Just then, Mu Lin, who had been silent beside them, chimed in.

The tall guy, standing at 6’2″, looked more like a basketball player than a fisherman.

With a booming voice, Mu Lin said, “His name is Yue Feng, he livestreams on Seafood Platform!

He’s an internet celebrity with over a million followers!”

“An internet celebrity?

Has the Fishing King Cup become so casual now that even an internet celebrity can qualify?”
