Chapter 158: Queen Turns Out to Be Xie Wantang
The next morning.
Xiao Qianqian and Xie Wantang had breakfast in the room; the breakfast was what they ordered themselves, and then the hotel staff brought it to their room.
The service was high-end, and the food was delicious.
"Mom, will Dad come to participate in this event today?"
"Hmm."
Lu Chen was looking for Queen, even though she herself was Queen, but she just wouldn't tell him directly.
He had teased her many times, so she would return the favor this once.
"Great, I really want to see what expression Dad will have when he sees me. Mom, do you think he'll be able to recognize me?"
"I don't know, anything is possible."
"Hmm, Mom, when will you forgive Dad? When can Xiao Chengzi and I live together with you and Dad?"
"Dad still has a lot to do; he's currently leading you, Uncle Shen, and them in fighting the bad guys. Let's wait until he finishes what he needs to do before we talk, okay?"
"Okay."
"Hurry up and eat."
"Hmm."
After breakfast, Xie Wantang changed into the formal attire prepared by the organizers, plus a mask; Xiao Qianqian also had a set of black children's tailcoat and a cartoon mask.
Xiao Qianqian really liked this event.
Even before arriving at the venue, she was full of anticipation for the event.
Downstairs, the shuttle bus for the voiceprint masters was already waiting early.
Half an hour later, all the voiceprint masters had arrived at the backstage of the event, and a designated person handed out badges to them according to their alphabetical order.
The person handing out badges was also wearing a mask; upon seeing that the card in Xie Wantang's palm started with Q, they directly gave her the Queen badge.
Xie Wantang smiled and nodded slightly.
Though separated by masks, Xie Wantang could see the surprise in the other person's eyes.
Xie Wantang curled her lips in a light smile; she hadn't expected that such a niche profession as voiceprint master could even have fans.
After the badges were distributed, the host came over and said, "Later, please, masters, walk the red carpet, then sign your names at the end of the carpet, and the ceremony will be over."
"Queen the Great is also here today; everyone, if you want to take a photo with the Great One, you must first get their personal consent. Absolutely do not disturb the event site, or else we will blacklist you, and you won't receive an invitation to the next Voiceprint Summit."
"Finally, please allow me, on behalf of the organizers, to welcome you all, masters."
At nine in the morning, the event officially began; Xiao Qianqian was taken out and seated in the VIP section, while Xie Wantang followed a group of masked people and started walking the red carpet.
For fairness, the order was also determined by drawing lots; Xie Wantang drew number nine.
Their numbers and information also appeared in the hands of the announcer host.
When Xie Wantang walked out, the host shouted, "Now coming toward us is number nine, number nine, the Queen God everyone has long awaited. Let's welcome Queen God with warm applause."
The entire venue erupted.
Almost instantly, Xie Wantang felt that all eyes in the venue were fixed on her, coming from everywhere.
She hadn't expected Queen to have so many fans, especially the flag-waving and cheering from the VIP seats; someone even made a sign with her name on it, waving it back and forth in the seats.
On the left VIP section, in the front row, Lu Chen and Shen Ye were sitting there.
She wore a splendid gown and a mask; even Lu Chen did not recognize her.
Her senior martial brother was truly calm, completely not keeping anything secret from Lu Chen.
Otherwise, Lu Chen would not have this expression now.
After the red carpet walk, the next part was free interaction time.
Among the masked peers, Xie Wantang engaged in a professional exchange with them.
At ten twenty, the organizers approached and said, "Queen God, masters, today the leaders have a bold idea and want to hear your opinions."
"Go ahead and tell us."
"That is, in a while, the leaders want you all to take off your masks and face the public with your true faces; I don't know, are you willing?"
Some were willing to accept this proposal, others were not.
In the end, it did not come to pass.
Although removing the masks did not become a segment, Xie Wantang agreed to the organizers' personal request for her: to take off her mask and accept interviews from reporters.
After walking the red carpet, Lu Chen kept staring at Xie Wantang, because she had to cooperate with many segments arranged by the organizers, and the fan-meet-the-god segment hadn't arrived yet, so the staff kept stopping him from going to disturb those masters.
After that, it was the reporters' interviews.
Lu Chen ran fast and finally managed to snag an audience seat.
Hearing that Queen God would unveil her mask to accept reporters' interviews and then meet fans face-to-face, Lu Chen felt very excited.
At this moment, Xiao Qianqian, who was pretending to be Xiao Chengzi, had already been held in Shen Ye's arms; up to now, Shen Ye still hadn't realized that the Xiao Chengzi he thought he was holding was actually Xiao Qianqian.
"Uncle Shen, what do you think Dad keeps chasing Mom for?" Xiao Qianqian said, seeing Lu Chen running like everyone else to grab an audience seat to interview Mom.
"Could it be that Dad is also Mom's fan?"
"Your dad is protecting your mom." Shen Ye knew that Lu Chen was staring not at Xie Wantang, but at Queen.
However, Xie Wantang is Queen.
Although he didn't go over, he kept staring at Lu Chen as well, wanting to see what expression that arrogant guy Lu Chen would show when he discovered that Xie Wantang was Queen.
"Is that so? I feel it's not like that; I think Dad is Mom's fan, and maybe he still doesn't know that Mom is his idol."
"Xiao Chengzi, you're really smart."
"Little one." Yan Xiu walked over at this time and also mistook Xiao Qianqian for Xiao Chengzi.
"..."
This is a bad person.
Xiao Qianqian huffed, turned, and hugged Shen Ye's neck, not even glancing at Yan Xiu.
Faced with Xiao Qianqian's such impolite behavior, Yan Xiu also did not get angry, turned and greeted Shen Ye: "Captain Shen, hello."
……
Shen Ye frowned; he actually called himself Captain Shen?
This means they're not planning to hide it anymore.
Shen Ye gave a light scoffing smile, stood up, and left holding Xiao Qianqian.
Having been publicly embarrassed by the two of them, Yan Xiu also didn't feel embarrassed; he coughed lightly, fiddling with the high-tech device in his ear: "Confirmed, identity exposed."
Afterwards, Yan Xiu went to interview Queen's side, hearing that Queen would today remove the mask for an interview; Yan Xiu was also a bit curious, wondering what Queen's true appearance actually was.
However, when passing by, he was stopped by staff; Yan Xiu's gaze turned sharp, he produced a red badge, and the staff immediately let him through.
When Yan Xiu entered, he happened not to miss the segment where Xie Wantang removed her mask.
After Xie Wantang answered the host's several questions about voiceprints, she then cooperated with the host and slowly removed her mask.
When the mask came off and Xie Wantang's face was revealed, Lu Chen and later Yan Xiu were extremely shocked.
