Chapter 743: Ferociously Slapped In the Face
“Alright, alright, Major-general. Let’s watch the competition.”
Huo Yingcheng, who didn’t wish to continue with this topic, reminded Helian Niancheng to keep his eyes on the competition.
But their purpose for coming was to watch the competition, to begin with, and clearly, it was him who first raised this topic.
At present, there were still two hours before the competition ended.
Helian Niancheng glanced at his watch. “No need to watch the rest of it. Let’s prepare for the celebration party.”
With that, he got to his feet to leave.
Huo Yingcheng was dazed. “You’re so confident? Forget it, forget it...”
Since Qingjiu finished off even the strongest Cruff, there wasn’t anything worth watching for the remaining time.
Huo Yingcheng and Helian Niancheng left the viewing room together.
Meanwhile, Chairman Song and Nian Chusheng were still highly worked up. When they saw Helian Niancheng left just like that, they didn’t have any thoughts about that.
They were still holding back the strong urge to call back home to inform the higher-ups of the good news.
They were just waiting for the competition to end, after which they would be sure to send back this good news to their home country at the very first instant!
And at this very moment, Chairman Song glanced towards the US team, and the US shooting coach seemed to be taking some sort of a call.
He seemed to be scolding something in a lowered voice and with an incredibly terrible countenance before he got up and walked outside.
Nian Chusheng, too, saw that, and he said in a hushed tone, “I’m guessing they already fetched Cruff.”
“I know Cruff’s temper very well. I’m pretty sure he’s throwing a fit right now. With his character, I don’t at all sympathize with him being eliminated.”
Nian Chusheng also despised Cruff as a person.
One who had the capabilities but not the good grace to match it wasn’t worthy of being viewed highly by others.
Chairman Song was always one to say peaceful words. After all, there was a need to place importance on the image in dealing with other countries.
But even then, he wasn’t able to disguise his joy. “Let’s not care about all that. It’s normal to be angry after losing a competition. Let’s just wait for Qingjiu and the rest to return in triumph.”
“You’re right.”
If you were to ask everyone in the room, most of the people here were gloating over Cruff’s elimination.
There wasn’t a single person who truly felt pity for him.
After all, there was a problem with Cruff’s character.
That female player who he eliminated on the first day when she fell into danger, all the more didn’t bother to mask her delight at seeing him get eliminated.
Probably if Cruff himself were standing in front of her, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from throwing in a sarcastic remark or two.
And at that moment, the eliminated players were being brought to the lounge. Cruff was amongst them, and he was viewing the replay of the competition with a dark countenance.
The second he returned, the staff had replayed the video for him.
When he saw Gu Qingjiu intercept the bullet he fired out, Cruff abruptly covered his face with his hands.
As though he couldn’t bear to recall the incident.
The atmosphere was so depressed that even the staff could sense it.
Shortly after, his coach appeared.
At the sight of Cruff, the coach was unable to suppress the rage in his heart. “I have told you early on that you should strike the moment you have the opportunity. What the hell were you hesitating over at the time? Are you very full of yourself? Are you very proud? You gave that girl ample time to prepare. You allowed her to fire this shot and let her have her way. Yet, you completely turned into the butt of jokes!”
The coach was berating him very loudly, which made the staff retreat from the room instantly.
They gave these two some private space to talk.
In the face of those reprimands by his coach, there was nothing Cruff could say in defense of himself, for that was the truth.
He was indeed too proud and full of himself.
He had thought that there was no way Yin Ruoyi would escape his clutches, hence the smugness.
In the end, Gu Qingjiu’s shot gave him a ferocious slap across his face.
