Chapter 749: I Want to Thank You

But she wasn’t like Cruff.

She would be lying if she said she wasn’t proud of winning, but there wasn’t a trace of arrogance.

She wouldn’t think that she was peerless in the world.

Her happiness was not fake, and inwardly she wanted to see Cruff’s current state.

After all, no perfect person exists, and Gu Qingjiu never thought of herself as a kind person as well.

The vicious words Cruff spouted before the compet.i.tion… Not putting the entire China shooting a.s.sociation in his eyes and mocking Yin Ruoyi three years ago…

Those were debts Gu Qingjiu remembered.

It was evident on Yin Ruoyi’s face when Gu Qingjiu eliminated Cruff.

Even if it was Senior Ruoyi, he must have been gratified at the outcome.

“What a pity. I wanted to see his current state.”

Gu Qingjiu mumbled in a chilling tone.

Nian Chusheng shook his head. “Student Gu, as people, we have to keep an open heart. He already received his retribution from this compet.i.tion.”

Nian Chusheng was especially reminding her to keep her emotions under check.

Of course, Gu Qingjiu understood. Nian Chusheng continued, “Let’s go. I will introduce you to the other players from other countries. It’s not only the international compet.i.tions. Sometimes you may partic.i.p.ate in practice matches with them to promote bilateral relations.h.i.+ps.”

“I understand, Commanding Officer Nian.”

They would hold the awards ceremony in the evening at the tournament center, and there was also a small self-organized banquet in the afternoon.

Many high-ranking officials from different countries were present, so it was beneficial for Gu Qingjiu to get to know them.

Numerous countries had good relations with China.

From the many news reports, agencies had their complex method of reporting, and it seemed that China was not popular amongst the people of the world.

In the eyes of higher ranked people, they only prioritized gains and the strength of military power.

The former laid the foundations for negotiations, while the latter indicated if the country had sufficient backing.

China was one of the main players in that field, so no one would be dumb enough to mention that they looked down on them.

People were shallow like that.

Helian Niancheng mentioned to Gu Qingjiu that he hated these gatherings, so he did not come out.

Of course, no one knew of Gu Qingjiu’s relations.h.i.+p with the youngest major-general of Penalan.

When the banquet was about over, Yin Ruoyi and Chairman Song returned from the hospital.

When they came back accompanied by the patrolling guards, Gu Qingjiu and Nian Chusheng immediately went over.

“How is it? It’s not too serious, right?”

Nian Chusheng asked first.

Chairman Song chuckled. “It’s not anything major. The doctor said that the poison is not life-threatening. After two days, the poison is almost entirely gone. The arm will remain numb for about two days, but it will not affect him in the future.”

Hearing that, Gu Qingjiu and Nian Chusheng let out a breath of relief.

Yin Ruoyi’s expression was joyful as well. Although the injury caused accidents during the compet.i.tion, it did not affect anything much. He smiled softly at Gu Qingjiu. “Please continue chatting. I will excuse myself for a shower. I really cannot stand it anymore.”

Similar to Gu Qingjiu, he competed for a few days. These guys were all clean freaks. How would they be able to stand it?

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Go on.”

With their permission, Yin Ruoyi left. Chairman Song looked at Gu Qingjiu and sighed solemnly. “Student Gu, I’m happy for you for winning the compet.i.tion, but no matter what, I wish to thank you.”
