Chapter 642
: Joint Attack
“Qingjiu.”
When Gu Qingjiu left the banquet by herself and prepared to return to the hotel, Nian Chusheng suddenly came out and called her.
She turned her head. “Ah, Commanding Officer, what’s the matter?”
“Come with me. A superior of the association asks you to go over.”
Association?
Gu Qingjiu instantly understood. By ‘association,’ he was referring to the primary jurisdiction under the Shooting Department.
Since a superior wanted to see her, of course, she had to go.
“Commanding Officer Nian, this summon is regarding what?”
“I don’t know the details either. You’ll find out later.”
Nian Chusheng brought Gu Qingjiu to a room in the banquet venue.
Gu Qingjiu realized that there wasn’t only one such room—one room was provided to each country that attended the event.
After she went in, she realized it was a large conference room.
At that moment, there were quite a lot of officials standing in the conference room. Nian Chusheng led Gu Qingjiu in.
Gu Qingjiu then saw that other than a few higher-ups, Yin Ruoyi and the other participants were also around.
When Gu Qingjiu went over, everyone’s gazes turned towards Gu Qingjiu simultaneously.
So this was what ‘center of attention’ meant.
She went over, not at all feeling nervous.
“Gu Qingjiu.”
When she walked over, a man with ordinary looks, a slightly chubby figure, and a pleasant smile greeted her.
Yin Ruoyi introduced him to Gu Qingjiu. “Junior, this is the chairman of the association, Chairman Song.”
Gu Qingjiu paused when she heard Yin Ruoyi call her junior, but she didn’t stop him. She instantly nodded with a smile. “Hello, Chairman Song.”
“Mm!”
Chairman Song nodded, then continued, “The reason I asked Classmate Gu to come over is that I’d like to bring up a matter with you people.”
Chairman Song sounded stern as he mentioned this. “Yin Ruoyi, you know that we have pinned all our hopes on you this time. This, being your first match, we naturally hope that you will have a glamorous victory. But don’t feel too pressured. Just do your best.”
Yin Ruoyi nodded with a solemn expression. “Got it, Chairman Song.”
“We’ve received news that Cruff, the top US sharpshooter in shooting competitions, confirmed that this wouldn’t be his last competition. Instead, he expressed his plan to take part in the international competition three years from now. That means that he has the ambition to take down three successive international championships.”
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t understand the significance of three consecutive championships, but she knew that meant winning the champion title three times in a row.
Yin Ruoyi frowned, then let out a scoff. “Is he that confident?”
The second competition hadn’t yet started, and with the outcome unknown, Cruff had already decided he would take part in this competition three times?
“You can’t put it this way.”
Chairman Song looked worried. “You should know what situation we’re in. His confidence should not come off as surprising. That also means that regardless of whether he wins or loses, you will still encounter him as an opponent the next time around. This is also why I called Gu Qingjiu over.”
Chairman Song looked at Gu Qingjiu. “Elder Gong told me you shouldn’t have a problem taking part in the competition three years later. Hence, you and Yin Ruoyi will counter Cruff together three years from now.”
Gu Qingjiu instantly understood.
She looked towards Yin Ruoyi. “What if Senior defeats him this time around?”
