As Xia Yinian was about to say something, suddenly the emcee's voice came from the podium.
"Please everyone, remain quiet. There are only three minutes left until the competition begins. Those who haven't arrived yet, please quickly take your seats."
Xia Yinian sat up straight and looked at the podium.
It was then she noticed that quite a few people were already sitting up there.
Scanning around, Xia Yinian didn't see any trace of her uncle, not even beside Yu Wanqing.
"Uncle is a judge today," Gu Lingqian leaned beside Xia Yinian and said in a low voice.
Xia Yinian widened her eyes, her mouth forming a big "O" shape.
After a moment of surprise, she accepted it; actually, she shouldn't be surprised that her uncle is a judge.
It's said that to ensure the fairness of the competition, the International Trade Organization invited two secret judges this year, with five people coming from abroad.
