Gu Qingjiu was startled hearing that.

She had a vague understanding of Chairman Songs feelings.

But she didnt feel too deeply for him.

Although she belonged to the shooting association, she had always trained under Elder Gong.

She always treated Elder Gong as her teacher, so her feeling of belonging to the shooting association was not strong.

But she knew that her fame belonged to the shooting association.

And the shooting associations awkward position for decades was evident to anyone, especially its head, Chairman Song.

It went without saying why Chairman Song thanked her.

She smiled. There is nothing to thank, Chairman Song! It is our shared glory to bring honor to our country!

Great!

Chairman Song appreciated that Gu Qingjiu was able to reach such a realization.

Nian Chusheng nodded from the side.

This young ladys political awareness was unusually high.

Old Nian, its almost confirmed. I have already sent news back and have also officially handed in my resignation to the shooting association.

Gu Qingjiu and Nian Chusheng were startled by his declaration. Nian Chusheng especially frowned. Youre leaving?

Chairman Song had his hands behind his back before smiling lightly. Its almost time, so I should leave. Retiring with glory is always better than letting people talk behind my back, saying that I wont go the moment I see a bit of chance. You know about them too. However, before I leave, I will settle the issues with Yin Ruoyi and Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu was confused. We still have things that you need to settle?

Nian Chusheng explained. Its not you guys. The shooting association is not very reliable when it comes to doing things. I heard some things as well. If Chairman Song retired, the next chairman would be from another party, and that party does not interact much with the military. Both you and Yin Ruoyi are from the military so we are afraid that they would do things to you which may affect international competitions.

Chairman Song nodded thoughtfully. These people like to stir things. Personal gains are more important to them than the countrys glory, but we wont let these things affect the two of you.

Gu Qingjiu remained silent. She has heard of these conflicts amongst parties, but they were too complicated.

Even she couldnt fully understand it until then.

It was also why she remained silent.

Nian Chusheng and Chairman Song didnt continue on that topic as well.

They stood in a row as they waited for the award ceremony before returning to their country tomorrow.

At night, the award ceremony seemed to be more exciting than the previous years.

This year, there were many countries that didnt return right away to their countries. With nine members from each country, they stood together on the stage.

Although they were all officials below the stage, they were also the audience.

Showering the competitors with loud applause.

Gu Qingjiu stood in between Yin Ruoyi and another Chinese player. Representing China, she received the champion trophy from the hands of the international panel.

When she calmly reached out as they handed the trophy to her

It seemed as if the heavy responsibility she shouldered was suddenly lifted.

It lifted the oppression she felt, and she was finally free of her restraints.

She could finally happily shake off her past and forget about those terrible things she often looked back on.

Now, it was like she was on top of the world. She turned an unattainable dream into a reality.

Below the stage was the person she loved, looking at her with such gentle eyes, looking as she received the glory. His eyes and heart seemed solely focused on her.

Some officials from China couldnt help but be touched by the scene.

At this very moment, they shared the glory amongst all of them!
