“… Before the results are out, no one can guarantee anything.”
Chairman Song’s words meant that even if it was Yin Ruoyi they were talking about, they weren’t very confident.
It was just that he had said it so neutrally that he didn’t sound like he wasn’t confident.
But this was the truth.
“Got it.”
They had asked her to come to inform her she would meet Cruff as an opponent in the years to come.
The most significant advantage they had was that Cruff wasn’t aware of China’s Gu Qingjiu. He was only aware of just Yin Rouyi.
But for this competition, they could only depend on Yin Ruoyi.
“I’ve read up on this Cruff. He’s ambitious, and I could tell three years ago when he first took part in this competition. China is at a disadvantage in such an international competition arena right now. After so many years, only Sheng Ming from our country got the championship title three consecutive times. Cruff is trying to replicate Sheng Ming’s miracle.”
“Hmph.”
A superior let out a sneer. “He thinks he’s Sheng Ming? Sheng Ming won the grand slam in the international competition. Nobody would dare say that there is another person of such capability. Who does Cruff think he is?”
“Eh, you can’t put it this way.”
Chairman Song comforted, “It’s good for a person to have ambition.”
The others merely smiled at his words.
Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips. She saw Cruff earlier.
By simply judging from his appearance, Cruff definitely looked like an arrogant person.
But since he had won the champion title once, that went to show that there was more to him than meets the eye.
Even if he was arrogant, his capability justified his arrogance.
Cruff was such a person.
“That’s it from me. You people have to compete tomorrow. Go back early and have a good rest.”
Chairman Song finished speaking to Yin Ruoyi and the rest before patting Gu Qingjiu on her shoulder. “Pay attention to the competition tomorrow. It will enhance your experience.”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded solemnly.
There were many people present, but Chairman Song didn’t say a lot.
Hence Gu Qingjiu returned to the hotel with Yin Ruoyi and the rest.
Since Yin Ruoyi and the rest had to compete the next day, they didn’t chat much. When Gu Qingjiu returned to the hotel, she called the Chief Instructor. And the following day, when she woke up, she went to the competition venue to view the competition.
The competition venue was very far from where they were at.
As these essential officials had to be protected, they viewed the competition in real-time in an indoor hall.
It was an enormous hall, like a venue where one could view the competition from.
There was a large, main screen in the center that allowed the viewers to view the competition in real-time.
There were people seated on all four sides, and they had positioned the screen such that everyone could see.
They installed thousands of surveillance cameras in the surroundings, as well as numerous bodyguards.
These bodyguards helped to ensure secrecy, and at the same time, ensuring the safety of these officials.
These competitions weren’t open to the public.
This was the first time Gu Qingjiu saw so many officials.
There were perhaps hundreds of officials from various countries gathered around, plus translators and secretarial staff.
There were many people.
Gu Qingjiu sat in a spot where the view was better, and she could view the entire competition with no effort.
The venue where the actual competition took place could be far away from where she was.
They would hold the competition over a few days, shooting for a day and combat on the other, etc.
This year’s shooting competition venue was on grassy plains in the UK, not far away.
Holding the competition on a flat surface most easily resulted in intense fights.
It was a great test of these competitors combined capabilities, including the ability to dodge and chase.
