Although the public opinion turmoil surrounding Qiu Wen's project transition and Su Bai taking on the role of a 400-meter coach has temporarily subsided, the responsibilities on both Qiu Wen and Su Bai have become even greater.

If Qiu Wen's initial task was just to participate in the major events of the year and make it to the finals of a 400-meter event within this year's competitive season, now his debut in the 400-meter event must not appear too disappointing.

"Train well." He Yishen patted Qiu Wen and Su Bai's shoulders, while also handing the task of monitoring Qiu Wen's progress to Zhao Heping.

Although He Yishen told Qiu Wen that he would become a key 400-meter athlete for the team only if he reached the finals of a major event during this year's season, the team's attention on Qiu Wen hadn't diminished. After all, the potential Qiu Wen had demonstrated in the 400 meters was already enough to attract attention. What he lacked now was converting that potential into actual performance and shining in the 400-meter event.

Because of the strong support from the team, including Su Bai, the burden of other tasks was lightened for them.

On the third floor cafeteria, there were still delicious dishes carefully prepared by Su Bai. However, Sun Xiangdong and Wang Wu had lightened Su Bai's workload quite a bit recently. Especially Wang Wu, he had done a lot of related preparation work, to the point that it seemed like he was assisting Su Bai in the kitchen.

Su Bai felt a bit embarrassed about this situation, but Wang Wu chuckled and said, "I've been enjoying your good food all this time and the team isn't withholding my salary. It's just regular work, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

In the team's environment, the workload for ordinary staff wasn't too heavy, and the relationships between everyone were good. They didn't mind the changes in authority in the kitchen.

Moreover, even without saying anything, Wang Wu could see that Su Bai's true path was in coaching. Once Su Bai really coached Qiu Wen to success, would the team still assign a skilled coach to work in the kitchen?

As for the key athletes dining on the third floor, although the variety of Su Bai's signature dishes had decreased, the consistently good taste remained. To ensure that most of the third-floor athletes could enjoy Su Bai's cooking, Sun Xiangdong entrusted the preparation of nutritious soups for the athletes to Su Bai, ensuring that everyone got at least one of Su Bai's soup creations with their meals.

So, for a while, everyone was quite content.

The only slightly sad group in recent days might be the coaching staff from the national team. After being well taken care of by Su Bai's cooking for a week, their exchange program with the S Province Athletics Team had come to an end. Each coach had their own team to attend to, and there was more work to be planned ahead.

In any case, they couldn't continue staying with the S Province Athletics Team. Even though their finicky appetites had been saying they didn't want to leave, after Su Bai treated them to a sumptuous farewell feast, they bid their farewells to Su Bai with reluctant smiles.

Before leaving, Wu Shengping grabbed Su Bai's hand and said, "Um, well, Su Bai, work hard. I'll stand by my words from before!"

Wu Shengping's words puzzled Su Bai for a moment, and after a while, he realized the meaning behind them with a wry smile.

Wu Shengping had previously promised Su Bai and Qiu Wen that if Su Bai could help Qiu Wen break into the 46-second range in the 400 meters and bring him to that level, he would personally report to the national team and recommend both Qiu Wen and Su Bai to join the national team's training camp.
