Chapter 34 Chapter 34
Wang Ruiguo and Song Anshan in the audience looked at each other in surprise.
This result is quite surprising.
After the two looked at each other, Wang Ruiguo was the first to speak with a smile: "Coach Song can rest assured now."
Song Anshan also nodded. "Well, don't worry. If a world champion really emerges, your team's training will not be in vain."
In shooting events, national teams are temporary training teams set up for the purpose of preparing for major competitions.
In fact, all athletes' team memberships are still with their respective provincial teams.
If there are any achievements in the later stage, the provincial team will definitely be rewarded.
At the end of the game, both players were relatively calm.
But the athletes from the provincial team behind them were a little bit uneasy.
"Hahahahaha, what did I say? Junior Sister Chu Xi won, right?"
"Aren't they all junior sisters? Why are you still playing favorites, insisting on wanting Junior Sister Chu Xi to win? I'm going to report you to the coach for trying to disrupt the friendship within the team."
"Go, go, go, let's go eat. We have to train in the afternoon."
Several athletes left the field together, chatting and laughing, and walked towards the cafeteria.
Chu Xi's comeback victory did surprise everyone, but for them, winning or losing was something they were already used to. At most, they would be excited for a while before returning to normal.
…
"We won!" Su Mingzhi stood up excitedly in the waiting area, clasping his hands.
Jiang Lu and Shi Lei beside her also stood up excitedly at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Seeing Wu Yuliang's shot miss, I thought... we had no chance. Unexpectedly, Sister Xi is still steady." Su Mingzhi said excitedly.
In this atmosphere, Xu Qianqian's mood also became slightly better.
When the competition just started, she didn't think their team could win. After all, with four artists involved, there were too many uncertainties.
But unexpectedly, I still won.
Xu Qianqian looked at the broadcast screen with confusion, but the picture was still on Chu Xi.
Although Chu Xi won the game, he still had no emotional fluctuations. He just put down the gun expressionlessly, then stood aside, waiting for the referee to announce the final result.
The words calm and cool are fully reflected in her.
Xu Qianqian withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and felt a few more complicated emotions in her heart.
It seems Chu Xi is not as annoying as Sister Xia said?
…
After the game ended, the program team announced the star team's victory on the entire network at the same time.
The internet has exploded.
[I'm telling you, those who didn't watch the live broadcast are really missing out! In the finals, Chu Xi tied the score, and everyone had to play a rematch! It was really exciting!]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm going crazy. I'm really falling for Sister Xi's calm and rational aura. She's calmer than me being frozen in the refrigerator for half a year!]
[Oh my god, is this the heart of an athlete? My palms were sweating watching the last shot in front of the computer, and Chu Xi was still able to catch up.]
[Wait, the Chu Xi you're talking about is the artist from the Super Star Games?]
[No! Sister Xi is now a professional athlete.]
In the director's office at the headquarters of Jiyue Sports.
Yu Wanya was watching the replay of the final match of Chu Xi team.
Ten minutes later, she watched the entire video and slapped her thigh excitedly, "Awesome!"
Fortunately, there was no one in the office at that time.
After Yu Wanya calmed down, she cleared her throat slightly, put down her cell phone, sat up straight, picked up the landline phone, and dialed a number.
"When is the filming of Chu Xi's endorsement promotional video scheduled?"
The employee replied from the other end of the phone: "Director, I checked, and Chu Xi's shoot will be next week. I've been busy with so many endorsement shoots lately that I don't have enough time."
Yu Wanya responded: "Yes, as soon as possible."
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Wanya closed her eyes comfortably and leaned back in her boss chair.
She must have made the right bet this time.
…
On the day the game ended, several members of Chu Xi's team went to the cafeteria happily to celebrate.
"Oh, it's really not easy for athletes. After winning a game, if they want to celebrate, they can only go to the cafeteria." Wu Yuliang walked into the cafeteria with emotion.
Originally, after winning the competition, Wu Yuliang thought that the production team or the coach would give them a chance to go out for dinner to celebrate, but in the end... they still had to eat in the cafeteria.
Su Mingzhi smiled and replied, "It's good to have something to eat. Besides, our victory doesn't depend on you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuliang immediately chased after Chu Xi and began to mutter, "Sister Xi, although I made a mistake in the last game, was my shot in the extra game okay?"
Chu Xi glanced at him and said, "I didn't even bother to tell you about that missed shot."
She is not a real robot, and she was also nervous when she saw Wu Yuliang make such a big mistake.
But she couldn't be nervous.
So in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Xi seemed to have no emotional fluctuations during the finals, but in fact, she was under more pressure than anyone else.
Wu Yuliang's smile immediately stopped and he looked distraught. "I really didn't fire that shot on purpose. I was just too nervous. If I hadn't practiced shooting for a year and had some muscle memory, I would have missed the target."
Although I had athletes from the provincial team practicing with me in the days before the competition, my hands were still shaking badly when the competition really started.
Especially when they thought that this game would directly determine their team's victory, the pressure was even greater.
"Sister Xi is still the most reliable." Su Mingzhi nodded and said seriously, "From now on, I will firmly follow the captain."
The people around immediately laughed jokingly.
Xu Qianqian, who was following behind the crowd, stared at Chu Xi's back without saying a word, and the emotion in her eyes became a little strange.
…
After the lunch celebration, Jiang Wannan, Shi Lei and several foreign players did not stay any longer. They said goodbye and left to continue their afternoon training.
Winning and losing are things they are used to.
When there are many competitions, everyone basically starts training immediately after winning one to prepare for the next game.
"You guys should also focus and we will continue training this afternoon. You still remember the previous groupings for air pistols and air rifles, right? We will continue the training according to the groups." Chu Xi finished his meal, put down his chopsticks, and said a few simple words.
Wu Yuliang and the others looked at each other and sighed.
"knew."
I thought that after winning the game, I would have some time to rest and celebrate, but... there was absolutely none.
[Ahhh, is training so rushed? The star team won, and they didn't even celebrate?]
[That's fine. After all, it's not like they won the world championship. So, you're not really asking the entire shooting team to help celebrate winning a fun competition.]
[Hey, before watching this show, I thought all shooting athletes were clairvoyant, but it turns out I was overthinking it.]
At this point, the significance of this reality show is also revealed.
At least more netizens are beginning to understand the difficulties faced by athletes.
Similarly, Yang Ruoxue's team, which lost the game, briefly summarized the experience of failure and took the time in the afternoon to resume their daily training.
During a break in the training, Yang Ruoxue and Jiang Zhiming leaned over to drink water and started chatting.
"I heard that the last selection for the national team is also the World Cup qualifier. Do you plan to give it a try?" Yang Ruoxue looked at Jiang Zhiming curiously.
Jiang Zhiming finished drinking the water and pursed his lips. "It's okay to give it a try. It can also help you understand the gap between yourself and the top masters."
"I guess Sister Xi will also participate." Yang Ruoxue's face flashed a smile. "It's not shameful for us to lose to Sister Xi, but it would be quite interesting if the national team lost."
Jiang Zhiming's eyes also flashed with a hint of watching the fun, "Indeed."
…
As night fell, after finishing training, Chu Xi returned to the dormitory alone.
After a whole day of training, she had almost no time to look at her phone.
After taking a look, I found that there were several missed calls in the call log.
It was my cousin Fang Ruinian calling.
Chu Xi pondered for a moment and immediately guessed that it might be his uncle who told his cousin about his participation in the training.
She called back.
After a while, the call was connected and a sleepy voice came over: "Xiao Xi, I heard from Dad that you're going to be an athlete? What's going on?"
Chu Xi: "Yes, I want to learn shooting."
Fang Ruinian looked like he had just woken up. His voice kept coming from the other side. "Okay, if you want to learn, I definitely support you. But you know my dad, he just thinks it's too hard for you to be alone out there, so he insisted that I persuade you. It's okay, I won't persuade you. If you want to learn, then learn. If you're really tired and don't want to study anymore, you can go home later."
"Thank you, cousin." Chu Xi felt a little relieved.
I'm not here to persuade her to give up learning shooting and go back home.
Thinking of something, Chu Xi asked again with concern: "Are you doing well abroad?"
"It's okay, but every week when I'm writing my paper I feel like dying. You know what, I really regret going abroad. My parents made sense back then. They told me to just study hard in China and then come home to inherit the family business after graduation. I didn't listen and insisted on going abroad, and now I'm exhausted every day."
Fang Ruinian's voice was full of fatigue and resentment. It was obvious that he must have been very busy recently.
Chu Xi couldn't help laughing: "Then who can you blame? You made your own choice and you have to bear the consequences yourself."
"Yes, I am bearing the consequences now."
Chu Xi asked again: "Will you come to my national team tryouts?"
"Of course I'll go. My dad called me and told me you're going to be on some national team, and we have to go watch it as a family. It just so happens that I'm on winter vacation at that time, so I'll go with them then."
Fang Ruinian opened his mouth again and said, "Okay, I won't say anymore. It's still dark here. I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
As soon as the words were spoken, the phone was hung up.
Chu Xi smiled helplessly before putting down the phone.
…
The shooting team's training gradually returned to normal.
Chu Xi continued to lead the team in special training, and also took time to shoot an endorsement advertisement for the Jiyue brand.
Just one month passed by in a flash.
"Centripal Shooting" ushered in the last live broadcast.
Wu Yuliang, Su Mingzhi and others looked at the training ground with some reluctance, and were reluctant to leave.
"When I first started training, I felt a little tired. But after a month, I actually felt it was not so bad, and I was a little reluctant to leave." Jiang Lu said as he looked around with emotion.
"Once we leave here, we will never have this kind of group life again, and there will be no chance to work together for a goal." Su Mingzhi also said silently.
Wu Yuliang didn't say anything, but his eyes were slightly red.
He has mentioned to his friends more than once that he regretted not being able to join the shooting team when he was a child.
Coming here finally made his dream come true, but unfortunately, it only lasted for a month.
After that, he will return to reality and continue his acting career.
Chu Xi looked at the few people and said slowly: "If you like shooting, you don't have to train in the shooting team. You can practice every day of your life. Of course, if you like other things, it's the same. As long as you really like it, it doesn't matter where you are."
Tears gradually welled up in Su Mingzhi's eyes.
She walked forward and hugged Chu Xi, "Captain, we must meet again when we are free."
Wu Yuliang and Jiang Lu next to them also hugged each other with emotion.
"Brother Lu, we should make another appointment when we are free."
Jiang Lu smiled and nodded, "No problem."
In the end, only Xu Qianqian was left standing there in a daze.
She stared at Chu Xi and hesitated for a while. Should she hug him or not?
"Qianqian, come here, let's hug each other for the last time." Before she could make a decision, Su Mingzhi opened her arms first.
Xu Qianqian quickly hugged him and said, "Yes."
The scene of the guests being reluctant to leave was broadcast into the live broadcast room by the camera on the side.
[Wow, I'm so sad to see this show end. I've been following the show every day since the All-Star Game. How could it end so soon?]
[Only now do I realize that what I like isn't the stars, but the passion of everyone working together to win.]
[I'm done. I've also started wanting to learn shooting, but I'm already in my forties. Isn't it too late? Maybe I should send my son to learn.]
【I feel sorry for your son for two seconds, hahahahahahahaha. 】
The show "Shooting at the Heart" has officially ended, and it also won the title of the top ten popular variety shows this year.
On the day the show ended, Su Mingzhi's personal Weibo followers gained more than 700,000. She, who had been blackened by the entire network, completely clarified the rumors and allowed netizens to see her true character again.
The number of likes on Jiang Lu's personal Weibo has basically remained stable at more than 300,000. He was almost out of date, but he has once again rushed into the public eye. It is estimated that after this show is over, there should be a director willing to give him a chance to play a role.
Xu Qianqian didn't have many outstanding performances, but thanks to the popularity of her team and the show, her popularity doubled.
Finally, the one who gained the most was Wu Yuliang. His outstanding performance in the last extra game directly made netizens label him the Little Prince of Shooting, and he gained countless fans.
Chu Xi is even more popular, and her fans are the most active and loyal in the circle.
But unfortunately, she herself seems to have no intention of staying in the entertainment industry.
"In a month, we'll be holding the national team trials, which will also be the Shooting World Cup qualifying rounds. Everyone, prepare well in this month. This is your last chance to qualify directly for the Olympics, so don't waste it."
Wang Ruiguo had a stern face, his hands behind his back, and his expression and tone were quite serious.
Jiang Wannan and Song Jingbo, who were standing in the first row, looked at each other and answered in unison, "Understood!"
Chu Xi and Yang Ruoxue were newcomers who had just passed the trial training and joined the provincial team. They stood in the last row during the meeting.
"Coach." Jiang Zhiming beside him suddenly raised his hand. "Can we participate in the national team selection?"
Wang Ruiguo's eyes immediately swept over Jiang Zhiming, and he smiled faintly, "All athletes from the provincial team are eligible to sign up. I also suggest that you all participate, so that you can better understand the gap between your own strength and the current top athletes."
Jiang Zhiming's face flashed with excitement, "I understand."
After the meeting, Wang Ruiguo left Chu Xi alone.
"I've applied for you the qualification to watch the national team trials. Have your uncles and others affected your training during this period?" Wang Ruiguo asked with concern.
Chu Xi shook his head, "No."
Wang Ruiguo nodded, "That's fine."
"Coach, I have something else to ask." Chu Xi took the initiative to look at Wang Ruiguo. "As you know, I used to work in the entertainment industry. My artist contract with my previous company is due to expire in two months, but my boss has been pestering me to renew it."
Wang Ruiguo frowned immediately.
Now is a critical moment for Chu Xi, and any factors that may affect her training must be eliminated.
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter. Just focus on your training."
Chu Xi smiled slightly, "Thank you, coach."
…
That afternoon, after Wang Ruiguo understood the situation, he quickly set off for Starlight Entertainment.
"Mr. Wang, there's a provincial team coach looking for you outside." The assistant walked into the office to report.
Wang Yang, who was playing games on his tablet, frowned. "Didn't you see I was playing games? You said I was busy and didn't have time to see you."
The assistant hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Boss Wang, that person is a civil servant from the provincial team. He came with official documents. If he doesn't see him, it seems... no way."
This made Wang Yang suddenly wake up, "Why didn't you say so earlier! Hurry and invite the person in."
Wang Yang sat up from the sofa, immediately threw the tablet aside, sat up straight, and straightened his suit jacket.
After a while, the assistant brought Wang Ruiguo in.
Wang Ruiguo specially changed into a formal suit today, holding a document in his hand, and looked quite serious.
Wang Yang stood up, a smile on his face, and took the initiative to shake hands with Wang Ruiguo. "Hello, hello, I'm Wang Yang. I heard that you are the head coach of the provincial team?"
Wang Ruiguo shook hands and smiled slightly, "Yes, I came here this time to talk to you about Chu Xi joining our provincial team and preparing for the Olympics."
Wang Yang's smile froze.
What the hell? Chu Xi is preparing for the Olympics?
"Look, Chu Xi has passed our provincial team's tryouts and has joined the shooting team for professional training. I heard that you were the boss of Chu Xi's previous company, and your contract has two months left, right? This incident has seriously affected Chu Xi's training, as well as her ability to win glory for her country and prepare for the Olympics. So, I wanted to talk to you."
After saying that, Wang Ruiguo sat down on the sofa in the reception room, put the documents in his hand on the coffee table, and looked at Wang Yang with a smile, "Come, let's sit down and talk."
