The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 803 - 800: Don’t Delay My Landlord Game

Ye Shanshan was very anxious.

So anxious that she felt numb inside.

If Qin Hao’s victory in the semi-finals had made her feel a moment of excitement,

then now, she was a mixture of excitement, pride, and uncontrollable emotions all at once.

Even her initial idea of playing it cool in the interview had been thrown out the window.

But the situation seemed a bit off; it wasn’t whether she could act cool, but whether she could even find a spot to conduct the interview.

There were many foreign journalists, most of them tall men.

Ye Shanshan was lost in the crowd, frail and weak, like a wildflower in fierce winds.

She was a bit frantic, thinking, it’s clearly our Huaxia champion, so why are you guys rushing to interview as if it’s more urgent than me?

"Enough!"

In her frustration, Ye Shanshan let out the most hysterical shout of her life.

After all, she had studied broadcasting, so her lung capacity and volume were quite impressive; her voice stunned all the foreign friends around.

"Madam, I understand your eagerness to interview, but shouldn’t maintaining some polite etiquette be expected?"

"Ma’am, your high pitch reminds me of Pavarotti."

"With a voice like that, I’ll be haunted by nightmares for countless nights to come."

The foreign reporters’ sarcasm was humorous, but Ye Shanshan’s ears turned beet red.

However, as long as she could interview the hero, a little embarrassment was nothing.

She took a deep breath and said in a steady voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, according to normal protocol, it’s our Huaxia TV Station’s turn for the interview now. If you have questions, please ask them at the post-game press conference, okay?"

The implication being: "You weren’t even around during the semi-final matches, and now you’re here causing trouble? That’s just shameless!"

The journalists were unbothered, but Qin Hao smiled and spoke, "I think this lady makes a valid point. Thank you all for your support..."

After saying this, he squeezed past the journalists and walked up to Ye Shanshan, "Ma’am, shall we find a quieter place?"

Under his gaze, Ye Shanshan’s heart started pounding wildly, and she nodded timidly.

Due to the crowd and her frail stature, leaving quickly was a bit difficult for Ye Shanshan.

Qin Hao, feeling helpless, had to take her hand gently and led a group of local cameramen to the aisle.

The stadium was buzzing with activity, and there weren’t any truly quiet spots.

However, this place could just about serve as a temporary interview site.

Ye Shanshan’s face was still a bit flushed.

She felt utterly embarrassed.

As an experienced journalist, she couldn’t even outdo those foreigners.

Yet the hero had graciously given her face.

Looking at her hand, she seemed to still feel the hero’s warmth lingering there.

Instantly, Ye Shanshan’s face turned even redder.

"Miss Journalist?"

Qin Hao tried to call out to her.

He found it quite strange: Didn’t you say you wanted to interview me?

Why are you still getting all emotional before even starting?

Fortunately, the camera wasn’t pointed at Ye Shanshan, or else there would be an extra headline in tomorrow’s news: "Track Hero Qin Hao Leaves Female Journalist Overwhelmed."

"Phew!"

Realizing her loss of composure, Ye Shanshan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and managed to ask, "Qin Hao, thank you for accepting our interview."

"No need to thank me." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Qin Hao chuckled, "But this reporter friend, you seem familiar. Have we met before?"

Ye Shanshan was taken aback, "We have met, haven’t we? I interviewed you during the preliminaries and semifinals. Did you forget?"

"I didn’t realize,"

Qin Hao scratched his head awkwardly, but it seemed he was trying to cover it up.

As the saying goes, if it’s not important, he doesn’t seem to remember.

"Hiss!"

Ye Shanshan took a deep breath; what on earth, so you really don’t remember me?

The beautiful journalist felt another blow to her heart, causing all her prepared questions to vanish from her mind.

For a while, she didn’t know how to respond, leading to an awkward silence.

The cameraman beside her shook his head in anguish, thinking, how could anyone forget such a beautiful Shanshan? This... this is just insane!

The issue was, many of the cameramen were Ye Shanshan’s colleagues, and over the years, it was their first time seeing the quick-witted journalist so at a loss.

In this uncomfortable situation, even flies wouldn’t want to land here.

Seeing that he had bewildered the female reporter, Qin Hao felt a bit troubled and had to brace himself and speak, "Ahem, dear journalist, I’m very happy to have won the championship. Here, I’d like to thank everyone who supported me, and also, it’s nice to meet you."

"Ah."

The female journalist snapped back to reality, only to see Qin Hao pushing through the crowd and walking away.

She stamped her foot in regret, silently thinking to herself: Ye Shanshan, oh Ye Shanshan, you always thought so highly of yourself, claiming your emotional endurance is invincible, yet here you are heartbroken because one man forgot you. How disappointing...

Leaving the hallway, Qin Hao didn’t return to the locker room.

Because before the match, Director Wang personally made an exception to explain sportsmanship to him.

This included how to accept interviews after the match, what to do if he achieved a good result, and what to do if he made it to the podium.

In short, Qin Hao found it boring, but he still absorbed quite a bit of it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be smiling and accepting interviews from journalists worldwide.

This wasn’t because he wanted to be famous, but because Director Wang’s strict orders were weighing him down, and he had no choice but to comply!

Back in the arena, various unknown staff members greeted him.

"Qin Hao, awesome!"

"Qin Hao, the great hero!"

Even a few security guards maintaining order couldn’t help but come over, "Bro, you’re incredible."

Qin Hao enjoyed the hero’s treatment, with a graceful smile on his face, but inside, he was thinking: Where’s the award ceremony? Please hurry up and finish it; don’t delay me from going home to play cards.

The award ceremony arrived as scheduled later on.

Under the guidance of the staff, Qin Hao arrived outside the podium area. Beside him, Jason seemed to have been waiting for a while.

This formidable athlete had won multiple championships and even broken records.

However, he was still very happy to earn a bronze medal.

After all, his goal was achieved, surpassing his personal best record.

As for the disappointment of not taking the championship?

Nonexistent, with two "aliens" ahead, just taking third place was something to be content with.

"Hao, where were you just now? Many folks were waiting for you!"

Before going on stage, Jason began whispering.

Athletes have simple mentalities: if you’re strong, I’ll be friends with you first.

Qin Hao could sense this and chose to avoid the big guys as much as possible.

After all, his "frail" frame couldn’t withstand any jostling.

As the two chatted, Kevin arrived tardily, looking reluctant, standing behind Qin Hao with his gaze drifting away.

To outsiders, breaking a world record and winning a silver medal would undoubtedly be considered an admirable achievement.

But in Kevin’s eyes, it was a disgrace, the biggest stain of his life.

Especially since the champion standing next to him was a Huaxia person he utterly despised.

This feeling made his heart feel like it was being cut by a knife, utterly miserable.
