The person in charge was overjoyed and attached even greater importance to Zhu Qingling. He held multiple meetings about her, emphasizing that in "track and field," Zhu Qingling was the focus and that everyone had to pay special attention to her and take responsibility for her daily life, mental state, and everything else until the Olympics ended!
Zhu Qingling began to have many people surrounding her and "serving" her.
She was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.
But when she saw the anticipation and burning gazes everyone directed at her, she could only train harder and eat more...
She discovered that the more she ate, the faster she improved. She couldn't understand the principle behind it, but that didn't stop her from becoming increasingly motivated.
Visible progress could become addictive.
Without a doubt.
Zhu Qingling was addicted.
Vaguely, a strange feeling arose in her heart:
It seems that my changes began that night.
That night, she had slept more sweetly than ever before. After that, everything went her way, and everything proceeded smoothly. Things went so well that she had even begun to suspect she was the illegitimate daughter of Heaven itself. Some things seemed far too outrageous, yet she had actually managed to make them come true.
"Why is this?"
"Are my parents blessing me?"
Zhu Qingling secretly thanked her parents. That night, she didn't forget to offer incense to them either.
She had brought her parents' memorial portraits with her to the National Team.
She placed the portraits on the table in her lounge. Every night, she would offer them a stick of incense and personally pay her respects for a while. Only after vaguely sensing her parents' attention did she feel at ease. After smiling and chatting with their portraits for a while, she would go to sleep.
