Chapter 59: What an opening!
Mei Mei had invited the reporters, specifically those from Phoenix news. As for the rest, they had come of their own volition. There were too many of them that it almost seemed like this was the opening of a very important event like the national Olympics.
Before opening the space camp, it was her plan to give a speech and a small stage had been arranged against the backdrop of the base of the moon shaped side of the building. Mei Mei, the founder of the camp stood at the podium, her tailored red suit neat and commanding. Her hair was drawn back and tied in a neat ponytail, calling attention to her beautiful face. Her smile was poised but her knuckles whitened as she gripped the edges of the lectern.
"Good morning everyone," She began, her voice steady.
"Good morning mommy." Mingzhu shouted into a reporter’s microphone.
While people laughed, Feng Qi pushed the microphone away to prevent any other interesting responses during the speech.
"Thank you Mo Mingzhu for your enthusiastic response." Mei Mei grinned wider.
Reporters buzzed like bees, cameras clicking as they captured pictures of Mingzhu. She was the little general in the video, this was a great opportunity for them.
"Thank you all for coming," Mei Mei started her speech again, "today, we embark on a new journey to inspire the next generation of explorers. Pearl space camp is not just a play ground or an ordinary camp--it is the conceptualization of a dream for the young ones who dare to look beyond the stars."
"Wooo." Rose shouted. She started applauding and the crowd naturally followed.
