Wait a moment!

The welcome ceremony finally began.

The host went on stage. "Good afternoon to the leaders, honored guests, and all gathered…"

The Japanese reporters and media staff set up their cameras and began recording the event.

Meanwhile, the group of Chinese reporters looked at them, hungry and aggrieved. From the looks of it, those Japanese reporters must have had lunch together with the delegation, all appearing energetic and high spirited. What about them? They had gone the past few hours on an empty stomach, so how could they be in a good mood?

The reporters muttered among themselves.

"This is the first time I'm witnessing a group arriving so late for a big event like this."

"Me too."

"Did you put this into your report?"

"Hur, what's the point in doing so? The newspapers won't report this matter."
