The words did manage to comfort the few people there.
The morning passed quickly.
During lunch, Shen You'an got Coach Hong Cuiting's phone number from Meng Junzhu and called her directly.
"Hello, I'm Hong Cuiting. May I ask who's calling?"
"Coach Hong, it's Shen You'an."
Hong Cuiting was instantly familiar with the name: "Ah, so it's Shen. How can I help you?"
"Do you remember the Youth Swimming Qualification Competition held in Qingzhou last July?"
"Of course I do. That competition led me to discover a promising talent. Unfortunately, I've been searching for her ever since but haven't found her yet."
"Coach Hong, I am the person you've been looking for."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Hong Cuiting's incredulous voice: "What? It's you?!"
