Chapter 731: 721 King (11) 1 more

This scene quickly spread across major networks.

On Twitter, the news that the women’s relay team had won a silver token was the first to go up.

There were many people at the scene, but most of them were from other countries. Their excitement was far from high, yet the people of Flower Country were incomparably thrilled.

Especially when they saw the second-place banner hanging in the video, a suppressed sense of ethnic pride and glory burst forth from the bottom of their hearts.

Strong, truly too strong.

With the spontaneous forwarding of major media outlets, the four System Twitter posts about Ye Shaohua and her teammates receiving silver tokens had all made the hot list, particularly Ye Shaohua’s post, which had garnered over two hundred thousand comments in just two hours.

This was an honor the national swimming team had never before achieved.

It had been three hours since Ye’s grandfather had received this news.

"Shaohua is our Ye Family’s own!" Ye’s grandfather had never expected this granddaughter, whom he had almost given up on, to bring him such a surprise. He immediately instructed the company’s staff to retweet Ye Shaohua’s Twitter post, "From now on, she will be the Ye Family’s primary heir!"

The Ye Family’s stock had already fallen by eight points this morning.

But once the Ye Family Twitter manager retweeted her post, by the afternoon not only had the stock not fallen, it had actually risen by six points, and it looked to climb even higher the next day.

Former business partners had started offering olive branches again.

By doing this, Ye’s grandfather was capitalizing on Ye Shaohua’s popularity, but he was also courting her favor.

The position of primary heir was not something one could obtain by simply wishing for it.

"Damn it!" Ye Tongtong, previously composed, could hardly conceal her irritation, clenching her glass at the sight of the Ye Family’s series of moves online, "She actually won a medal, the primary heir..."

Discontent was clearly etched on Ye Tongtong’s face.

Why should someone who has never studied corporate management be able to take the position of primary heir?

But considering Ye Shaohua’s current online momentum, they could only hope that a few months later at the Olympic Games, she would fall from her pedestal.

Different parties had varied reactions to Ye Shaohua’s achievement.

But probably the most frustrated were Coach He and Su Xiao.

Before this, Su Xiao had been considered the future star of Flower Country’s swimming team, especially after achieving fourth place, which had caused quite a stir in Flower Country. However, all of this seemed trivial compared to Ye Shaohua now.

People on Flower Country’s internet had already forgotten her fourth-place finish earlier that day.

"If I had known there would be a medal, I should have let you go," Coach He’s thoughts were different from Su Xiao’s; he regretted that she had rejected this opportunity on Su Xiao’s behalf, "This is a silver token, the first actual medal our swimming team has ever received."

With Coach He putting it that way, Su Xiao couldn’t muster a smile.

She was only seventeen years old, with unlimited potential ahead of her. From the start, she had been coddled by the swimming team and protected by Jin Wennan.

Now, with Ye Shaohua silently securing a silver token, how could Su Xiao’s mood be good?

So much so that the next day in the four hundred meters, she sprinted from the beginning, trying to replicate Ye Shaohua’s effect, but hadn’t expected to be overly aggressive at the start, which left her unable to keep up later on.

In the four hundred meter freestyle, she only managed to secure eighth place.

Fortunately, Jin Wennan controlled the online commentary, so the news about Su Xiao didn’t break. Otherwise, if others knew Su Xiao took Ye Shaohua’s spot and only got eighth place, she would have certainly been vilified to death.

The Head Coach had been full of expectations for Su Xiao, but after seeing her performance, he naturally felt somewhat displeased.

However, out of consideration for Jin Wennan’s face, he didn’t say anything, merely encouraging Su Xiao to do her best.

After the world championship, the team returned home. When they disembarked from the plane, Ye Shaohua’s fans had come to pick her up.

"If you keep it up, the number of fans coming to pick you up will only increase," even Coach Xu was submerged by a sea of fans before comforting Ye Shaohua, "Don’t be too tense ..."

He had intended to tell Ye Shaohua not to be too nervous, but when he glanced aside, he found Ye Shaohua very calm and collected, waving at her fans, looking nothing like someone experiencing their first fan welcome party.

Coach Xu: "..."

Everybody was experiencing it for the first time, so why were you the only one handling it so brilliantly?

Compared to the celebrated treatment of Ye Shaohua’s group,

On the other hand, the experience was much less pleasant for Su Xiao and Coach He’s group.

The tickets had been purchased in advance, and the Head Coach had bought them all together to foster Su Xiao, separating them from Ye Shaohua’s group.

So after getting off the plane, the Head Coach bid a casual farewell to Su Xiao and went to find Ye Shaohua.

Su Xiao’s expression darkened instantly.

"This Ye Shaohua, she has potential," someone commented beside Coach He.

Watching Ye Shaohua’s retreating figure, Su Xiao’s expression grew somber, "She’s already twenty-two now. This must have been just a fluke on her part."

Upon hearing Su Xiao’s words, the two coaches remained silent, not contradicting her.

Then they looked thoughtful, perhaps considering her statement for themselves.

Firstly, Ye Shaohua’s performances over the past few years had been too ordinary. Such an outstanding performance now was suspect, like a firework that seemed brilliant but was only fleeting.

It must have been the spot in her grasp being given to Su Xiao that sparked a competitive fire within her, leading to this burst of achievement.

An athlete’s condition is sometimes unpredictable, and this time everyone could tell that Ye Shaohua was forcefully persevering.

Another important reason, Ye Shaohua was twenty-two, no longer in the golden age for a swimmer.

There had been previous instances where an athlete routinely winning silver and gold medals for the country chose to retire after a mistake in a competition at an older age. The athlete was vilified online by countless people.

This time, the repercussions for Ye Shaohua could be even more severe.

With that thought in mind, Su Xiao stared at Ye Shaohua’s figure, pausing to sign autographs for fans, then suddenly smiled.

She looked forward to seeing just how disastrously Ye Shaohua would lose in the next competition!
