Chapter 728: The Pressures of the Shooting Association
This heavy downpour continued relentlessly.
From the dawn of the day, until that afternoon.
This resulted in the remaining sharpshooters finding a spot in the forest and not daring to abruptly take action.
These delicate sharpshooters shared common thinking.
Their clothes were wet from the rain, and they couldn’t change out of them. Add to the fact that the weather was hot, it gave off a particular odor.
Moreover, if they accidentally caught the flu, it was akin to seeking death.

Hence they decided on inaction.
Moreover, they knew very well that such torrential rains would pose even more significant an obstruction to them and that it was instead an advantage to a minority of the players.
It would be good if they weren’t discovered; it would be like courting death if they walked out.
It was especially so if they were to run into wild animals with tendencies to get into a bad mood on such rainy days.
Hence the afternoon passed peacefully, a rare happening during the competition.
The people viewing the match found it arduous too.
At noon, more than half the officials left. Looking at this weather, nobody knew for how much longer it was going to rain.
The players on the screen weren’t moving, and even though the audience felt anxious, there was no way they could urge them otherwise.
Chairman Song stroked his nose, then made a violent sneeze.
“Ah-choo!”
A patrolling guard sharply caught that and swiftly handed him a tissue. Nian Chusheng, who had rested the entire morning and had just woken up, gazed at him in surprise. “Chairman Song, you caught the flu?”
Chairman Song nodded. “I’m guessing it’s due to the rapid change in weather. It’s not like you don’t know how hot it is back at home right now. When we came here, it was cold. Add to the fact that it’s raining today. Hence, I caught the flu. Aye, I’m getting on in age and can’t endure such things as well anymore.”
Though Nian Chusheng begged to disagree, he said with a smile nonetheless, “You’re still young. If you say you’re old, what are those people who stand by their duties in their sixties or seventies to say?”
“Stop teasing me.” Chairman Song chuckled, then let out a sigh. “Old Nian, I’m going to tell you something. But you mustn’t tell anyone.”
It was just the two of them and the patrolling guard in the vicinity. Patrolling guards were tight-lipped, so they naturally wouldn’t divulge what they heard. Chairman Song wasn’t afraid of that.
Nian Chusheng frowned slightly. He could guess what it was. Still, he asked this, “Chairman Song, what’s the matter?”
Chairman Song edged closer to him and covered his nose with a tissue before speaking. “Old Nian, this time after we return, I’m going to hand my resignation to the country.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough Nian Chusheng had already guessed it, he couldn’t help but feel pity. “Why? You’re not even sixty yet. What’s the hurry?”
Chairman Song shook his head. “Old Nian, although you’re a commander in the army, you ought to know about my situation. It’s not that I’m neglecting my responsibilities, but you see, ever since I took over after Sheng Ming retired, the results that I have achieved truly pale in comparison to Sheng Ming’s.”
It couldn’t be said that this was all due to Chairman Song’s bad luck, but he indeed wasn’t too lucky.
After the ace sharpshooter, Sheng Ming, retired, Cruff from the US had constantly crushed China.
The results they achieved were indeed lackluster.
Subsequently, finally, a Yin Ruoyi emerged, but even then, they only managed to clinch second previously.
And it was precise because there were hopes of becoming the champion, that some of the old higher-ups had unrealistic fantasies.
They even resented Chairman Song for not leading their country’s team to first place.
Of course, it wasn’t that all the old higher-ups were like this. Such people were only in the minority, but they, after all, exist.
This resulted in tremendous pressure for Chairman Song all these years.
While the combat team achieved perfect results and Sheng Ming retirement, their country’s combat team still achieved excellent results.
As for shooting, Chairman Song was powerless about this.
