Chapter 79 I really, really want to beat him!
"Xiao Zhao, before the end of today's live broadcast, please say goodbye to everyone!"
"Uh, that...thank you all for your support! See you next time!"
Having said this, the girl thought it was over.
But when he saw Ai Jianan still holding the phone towards him, he didn't know how to continue.
Alas, you don’t even know what I told you!
Ai Jianan sighed inwardly and asked another question:
"When is the next time?"
Rui Zhao finally reacted and said quickly:
"Ah! The preliminaries will be held next Saturday at 8:30 am. Please come and support my live broadcast if you have time! Thank you very much!"
"Okay, see you all next week! Bye!"
Ai Jianan, who had been a supporting actor for two days and was an important figure in the live broadcast, also said goodbye and then closed the live broadcast.
"Hey, Xiao Zhao meow! For anchors like you who don't broadcast much now, you should clearly announce the time of your next broadcast after each broadcast!
“Otherwise, some of your live streaming fans might unfollow you because they see that you haven’t been live streaming and they don’t know when your next live streaming will be.”
"Oh!" Rui Zhao nodded quickly: "I will pay attention next time."
"Ah."
Ai Jianan took the opportunity to touch Rui Zhao's head and praised him with a smile.
“I’ve been working really hard these past two days, and now I have almost 2,000 followers! That’s pretty good!
"Also, I saw some unreasonable little black players in the live broadcast room yesterday. But after the four rounds of chess in the past two days, the live broadcast room was full of praise. Occasionally, if there was a unreasonable person, he would be attacked by everyone. The atmosphere was very good!"
"Hehe, thank you Sister An An!" The girl smiled a slightly silly smile.
However, although Ai Jianan praised him, he was also somewhat surprised by this situation.
The audience's love for beautiful women is natural. Who doesn't want to see beautiful things that are pleasing to the eye?
On top of that, if this beauty also has strong professional skills, she will be even more popular and have more promotional value.
After all, these days, beautiful women are not too scarce, and people with strong professional skills are not too scarce either.
But if these two naturally mutually exclusive points were concentrated in the same person, they would be extremely valuable!
After the live broadcast these two days, the effect of increasing fans is very good.
Ai Jianan has planned to go directly to the B station headquarters in Dongjiang City to negotiate in person when he goes to work tomorrow, requesting more promotional resources, otherwise he will jump to other platforms.
As long as the other party's business manager is not too incompetent, he can see the huge business potential behind Rui Zhao.
Ah, of course, our main anchor is not without shortcomings - for example, he doesn't seem to care too much about live streaming.
At least for now, it seems that the ranking in my mind is definitely much lower than Go.
He said he wanted to gain followers, but he just didn't want to spend any time practicing chess...
But this is all temporary.
I believe that after Rui Zhao sees the benefits that live streaming can bring her, she will naturally shift her focus.
After all, even the world's number one Go player did this!
"Okay, then Xiao Zhao Miao, are you free this afternoon? Let's go shopping together?"
There will only be one round of auditions on Sunday, May 5th, in the morning, so the afternoon is completely free.
Ai Jianan had a plan in mind, and she wanted to take the opportunity to strengthen the friendship between the girls.
But Rui Zhao answered without even thinking:
"No, I'm planning to go back and practice chess this afternoon!
"I only played one game yesterday, I have to play two games today no matter what!"
Hey!
What did you just say?
Ai Jianan sighed helplessly, and had to give up and prepare to accompany Rui Zhao back.
But at this moment, she noticed a commotion among the contestants who had not left today.
Everyone suddenly started talking, as if they had heard some explosive news.
"Hey, what's going on over there?"
Ai Jianan felt strange and pulled Rui Zhao forward to ask.
"Hello, handsome guy!"
Ai Jianan found a man in his thirties nearby and started asking.
"May I ask what happened?"
The man frowned and replied, "Just now, the invitation lists for the preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals were announced, and then... someone found that Bai Yinhua was on the list of players who directly entered the semi-finals..."
"Bai Yinhua...?" Ai Jianan hesitated for a moment when he heard this name. He felt that he had heard it before but was not very familiar with it.
Seeing that Ai Jianan didn't react, the man reminded directly:
"He is a professional 7th dan chess player, and he was still playing in the Weiqi League last year!"
"what!"
After hearing this, Ai Jianan finally had some impression. But then came a huge confusion:
"But isn't he a professional chess player? How can a professional chess player play in an amateur game?"
"Oh! I just heard from the organizing committee that he applied to resign from the professional rank! So now he is only an amateur level 6 and can participate in amateur competitions!"
"Resign?"
Hearing this, Ai Jianan blinked several times in disbelief, as if she had no idea what this word meant:
"No, why would a professional chess player in his prime retire?!" "I don't know the details, but the organizing committee has confirmed it!
“Hey, originally we were going to see who would win the championship between Gu Mingqing and Wang Zhen… but now it seems there is no suspense at all!
"Do you think these pros are that serious? There's only so much money in amateur competitions, and they even quit their professional careers to grab it. Do they have any shame..."
But at this time, Ai Jianan no longer had the heart to listen to the man's complaints.
She knew that Rui Zhao's biggest goal in participating in this competition was to win the championship and be promoted to 5th place so that he could sign up for the qualifying tournament in early July.
Originally, she thought that this girl was just daydreaming, but after truly understanding Rui Zhao's ability, Ai Jianan found that Rui Zhao might actually have a chance against the two amateur kings, and she couldn't help but secretly cheer her on.
But now...
She immediately looked at Rui Zhao behind her, only to see that Rui Zhao was stunned when he heard the news, his face full of disbelief.
But it was different from what Ai Jianan thought.
At the moment, Rui Zhao didn't think about his job as an employee.
What she cares about is far more important than this industry:
"Why……
“Will anyone give up their professional rank?
"Doesn't he know how many people have tried countless times and still can't get a grade?"
...
...
That afternoon, Rui Zhao hurried back to the dojo and rushed into Yu Qingguang's office without saying a word.
"Teacher Yu! I have something to ask you..."
"It's about Bai Yinhua, right?"
Seeing the student coming back from the game with a rare excited look on his face, Yu Qingguang knew what had happened.
“Yes!” Rui Zhao rushed into the office, panting heavily with his head down: “Why would he resign? He…how could he resign?”
Yu Qingguang did not answer immediately, but took out his cell phone and calmly dialed a number.
"I'll let Lao Shang talk to you directly!"
...
"Rui Zhao, this is the situation..."
About five minutes later, Shang Chaotian, who was far away in Beijing, explained the whole story to Rui Zhao over the phone.
"But Rui Zhao, don't worry. Your teacher Yu should have told you before that you should know about the amateur 5th dan..."
But Shang Chaotian and Yu Qingguang never expected that the girl, who was always well-behaved and obedient, would directly interrupt him.
“Chairman Shang, this is not important now!
"I really don't understand! Professional rank is so important, why would Bai Yinhua, the seventh rank, give it up?
"Does he know that the professional rank he casually gave up is something that many people are eager to obtain?"
At this point, Rui Zhao's eyes were already red, and his chest rose and fell with his rapid breathing.
The girl's reaction made Yu Qingguang, who was standing by, a little dumbfounded.
According to his thinking, Rui Zhao would definitely have some reaction to this matter, but he should mainly focus on the frustration of not being able to win the championship and advance directly to Industry 5.
Maybe a little angry, but certainly not too intense.
But now...what is happening?
This kid doesn't seem to care much about not being able to advance to Level 5, instead...
It seems like he is very angry about Bai Yinhua's resignation? !
Shang Chaotian on the other end of the phone didn't seem to expect Rui Zhao to react like this, and explained slowly:
"Well, although Xiaobai was wrong in this matter, it is not completely incomprehensible that he would do something out of the ordinary when he was extremely depressed..."
"No matter how depressed he is, he can't possibly give up his professional rank! What does he think of Go?"
The girl was a little hysterical.
"Does he know that some people fight for their professional rank again and again in the ranking tournaments? I don't know how many games they played in tears during the ranking tournaments!
"Does he know that some people already have psychological barriers to qualifying, but they still grit their teeth and play the qualifying tournament, and in the end they can't even walk out of the competition venue by themselves! But even so, she still tried hard again and again!
"Does he know how important the things he casually throws away are to other people?"
After Rui Zhao finished speaking, time seemed to freeze in Yu Qingguang's office for a moment.
Both Shang Chaotian on the other end of the phone and Yu Qingguang next to him did not understand why this girl had such a big reaction to this incident.
It was as if... everything she had just said was something she had experienced personally.
Yu Qingguang pursed his lips and comforted the student in a kind voice.
"Rui Zhao, don't be angry about this, let's just ignore him!"
Shang Chaotian also quickly followed:
"It's okay. I told you before that you just need to do your best in this competition. It's normal if you can't win. It's not your fault..."
But the girl who had always been well-behaved and weak in the eyes of the two men, now shook her head with a firm look:
"Chairman Shang, Teacher Yu, I... don't want Bai Yinhua to get the championship as he wished. I absolutely cannot accept his behavior!
"To treat as trash what others cherish and desire...isn't this just mocking those who have worked tirelessly for it?"
In the office, Yu Qingguang and Shang Chaotian, who was speaking on the phone, were both speechless.
Only Rui Zhao clenched his hands tightly and expressed his wishes in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Chairman Shang, Teacher Yu...I want to beat Bai Yinhua in the 'Metropolitan Cup'!"
“Although I may not succeed...but I really want to beat him!
"I really, really want to beat him!"
