Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! - Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Now, He Finally Didn’t Feel Ashamed Towards His Country

She created a miracle!

When the countdown ended, the international judge panel announced that the competition had formally ended.

They finalized China’s score at 38 points.

Chairman Song couldn’t help but cry tears of happiness.

He covered his face with his hands, his fingers wet from his tears.

No one could understand how he felt.

Back then, when Sheng Ming suddenly announced his retirement, the shooting association had since lost its ace and was reduced to a state of disunity.

At that time, Sheng Ming was still young and could continue participating.

But no one knew the reason behind his sudden retirement.

China had also gotten used to Sheng Ming being invincible in the competition and was heavily reliant on him.

But ever since Sheng Ming retired, no one could carry the weight of the shooting association.

Or carry the heavy burden of the international competition.

Three years later, China, which had been used to crushing the opponents in the international competition, couldn’t recover from the setback. And despite their best efforts, that year, they only managed to clinch third place.

Since then, the overseas shooting association had been mocking China, that other than Sheng Ming, they didn’t have any talent who could conquer the world stage.

At the time, the shooting association was very vexed over this. The chairman at the time even directly tendered his resignation, and no one dared to take over the position.

After some twists and turns, this hot potato landed in the hands of Chairman Song.

Back then, Chairman Song was still young, for, after all, he was merely approaching his forties, in his prime, and with lofty aspirations.

He had thought that he would be able to salvage the shooting association, but reality dealt him with a heavy blow.

In the first international competition after he took over, China directly fell out of the top three.

After bringing the team back home, he was given a harsh dressing-down by his superiors.

He quietly swallowed down all the aggrievedness and grief and had no choice but to continue leading the shooting association.

However, the year after the next, young Cruff suddenly emerged out of nowhere and even arrogantly declared that no one in China was a worthy opponent.

That turned out to be the truth as well, for he led the US in taking down two victories in the international competition.

It had only been thrice, and yet already nearly ten years had passed.

How many ten years could there be in a person’s life?

The lofty ambitions that Chairman Song started with had diminished bit by bit until eventually, all that remained was fear and shame.

Back then, when Yin Ruoyi appeared, he had held high hopes towards Yin Ruoyi.

But ultimately, the failure three years later caused that hope to turn into despair.

All along, he had to maintain the gracious demeanor of a chairman that represented China’s image as a superpower nation.

He couldn’t reveal a tiny bit of weakness.

No matter how terrible the results were.

But he was also a man with a dream.

However, dreams didn’t manage to turn into reality, and he had to endure pressure from everywhere, including doubts and mockery from his association.

Plus, there was immense stress given by his higher-ups.

If the shooting association were a competition event that was open to the entire world, probably Chairman Song would be blasted into oblivion by the internet trolls in China.

Much like many other sports in China.

Reality grounded a firm and unyielding man into an official who had no choice but to become slick and diplomatic for the sake of survival.

He was an official who was about to get fired from his position.

Hence, when Gu Qingjiu appeared out of nowhere, he already didn’t dare to believe in anyone.

Just like how regardless of how Nian Chusheng tried to talk him into becoming more optimistic, he had lost even the most basic self-confidence.

Much less trust in Gu Qingjiu.

However, at this moment, when he saw the wish, he had had for many years transform into reality, and when he saw that young lass from China salvage his final reputation, the mild and slick Chairman Song finally couldn’t hold back the tears from streaking down his face.
