Chapter 91 Thank you for your hard work, celebrity Tianyuan
"Xiao Zhao, meow! How could this happen..."
Ai Jianan was quite flustered.
Although she has always known that if Rui Zhao wants to win the "Urban Cup" this time, Bai Yinhua will probably meet him sooner or later.
After all, you can’t really expect the “Four Amateur Kings” to knock out the former professional 7th dan!
But to face off in the first round... isn't it too early?
However, Rui Zhao had a calm expression on his face. Seeing Ai Jianan's expression, he smiled:
"Sister An An, this is normal!
"As long as it's a random draw, it won't be strange to run into Bai Ye 6 at any time!"
"But if you don't do this well, you'll be eliminated in the first round of the main competition!"
Ai Jianan said anxiously:
"Based on your level, I think you'll definitely be able to suppress the other contestants, except for Bai Yinhua and the other two kings. Logically, you should definitely make it to the semi-finals, and you may even get runner-up. But now..."
"It's okay, Sister An An!"
Rui Zhao's tone was full of determination.
"My main goal in this 'City Cup' is to beat him. If I can't beat him, it doesn't matter whether I'm the runner-up or the top 16!"
Seeing his pillar like this, Ai Jianan was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about you!
"The prize money for the top 16 is 2,000, and the prize money for the runner-up is 50,000. The difference between the two is 48,000! It's a pity that you don't take it seriously at all..."
However, the next second after she finished saying this, the girl's smile suddenly froze.
"Uh, it's okay...
"Anyway... at worst, I can just pay it back slowly..."
"Ok?"
Ai Jianan was confused by Rui Zhao's words. When she was about to ask, she heard someone suddenly calling her from behind.
"Xiao Ai! Why didn't you participate in this competition?"
Ai Jianan looked back and saw that the person calling her was Ke Mulan, the vice chairman of the Dongjiang Chess Association.
"Ah, hello, Vice Chairman Ke!" Ai Jianan greeted slightly: "Thank goodness you still remember me!"
She met Ke Mulan when she participated in the "Urban Cup" a few years ago.
It’s just that after so many years, she didn’t expect that Ke Mulan still remembered her!
Ke Mulan couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, there are not many girls who can play to Level 5, even in a metropolis like Dongjiang with a strong Go atmosphere and a large population base! Not to mention that she is a big beauty!"
"You flatter me!"
Ai Jianan responded with a smile appropriately.
"In recent years, I have focused my energy on studying and preparing for starting a business. I really can't devote too much energy to Go!"
"I understand! But even if you are not competing in the next-level games, you are still contributing to the Go industry!"
Ke Mulan smiled widely.
"I've also been watching [Weiqi Xiaozhao's] videos, they're quite attractive! They've played a big role in promoting Go.
“Many of my friends who don’t play Go are asking me about it because of your live broadcasts and videos!
"But I really can't support your live broadcast - it happens to be my busiest time! Please forgive me!"
"What are you talking about? We have done only a little work, and we are glad to receive your praise."
After hearing what Ke Mulan said, the well-mannered Ai Jianan felt a little embarrassed for once.
After all, it was Rui Zhao who insisted on broadcasting the Go game. She didn't really support it.
If Ai Jianan had been listened to completely, Go would have become a bonus for Rui Zhao to play the role of the nation's daughter!
"Hey! No need to be so modest! Your achievements are obvious to all!"
Ke Mulan smiled and said another polite remark, then turned his gaze to the girl next to him.
"Rui Zhao, nice to meet you!"
"Ah, hello, Vice Chairman Ke!" The girl hurriedly greeted him just like Ai Jianan had just done.
"How is it? Are you nervous seeing that you will play against Bai Yinhua in the first round of the competition?" The well-behaved girl shook her head vigorously:
"It's just a game of chess. It's not like I haven't beaten better players than him before!"
"Haha, you have a very good attitude!"
Ke Mulan couldn't help but laugh, then he straightened his face and said:
"When Bai Yinhua came to get his competition certificate, he didn't even look at the game schedule and said something like 'I'm going to win anyway, there's no need'. Hey, he was really crazy!
"But... it's better this way. As the saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must drive him crazy!
“To be honest, when Chairman Shang made this arrangement for me, I was a little confused.
"As a result...I took some time to look at your chess these past two days, and now I can understand it!"
"Chairman Shang's arrangement?" The girl was puzzled for a moment: "And... when did you watch my chess?"
Ke Mulan was stunned when she heard this: "I was watching you from behind for three rounds of the game, didn't you notice?"
Rui Zhao blushed: "Ah, I'm sorry, Vice Chairman Ke, I, I can't pay much attention to the surrounding situation when I start playing chess..."
After listening to this, Ke Mulan was stunned for another two seconds before she smiled thoughtfully: "No wonder, no wonder!"
The girl didn't quite understand Ke Mulan's reaction and was about to ask her a little more, but her cell phone rang.
When I took it out and looked at it, it was Yu Qingguang calling.
"Hey, Teacher Yu!"
...
...
"Right! Come back as soon as you get your competition credentials. You have a lot of work to do in the week before the competition! Yeah, okay! We'll be waiting for you in the dojo!"
After Yu Qingguang hung up the phone, he looked at the young man in front of him who had just put down his suitcase. He had a deep temperament and a thick black stubble, and couldn't help asking:
"Have you...really thought about it?"
Ni Jue couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Yu Jiuduan, you hinted at me the day before yesterday! Why are you hesitating when I come to you today?"
"You are talking nonsense, young man! What did I hint to you? Am I, Yu Qingguang, that kind of person?"
Yu Qingguang gave him a look and refused to admit it.
"It's just... aren't you really worried that your assets will be leaked?
"On the one hand, although the Chess Association said that they would try their best to keep it confidential, if Bai Yinhua wanted to announce the game records to the public, the Chess Association would not be able to stop him.
"Then there's Rui Zhao...ah, I'm not saying she has any ill intentions, I can guarantee that.
"But this child is as out of touch as Monkey King. I'm afraid she will accidentally do something wrong when playing chess in the future..."
"Haha, if you ask me if I'm worried, I'm definitely a little worried."
Ni Jue had a faint smile on his face.
"But I thought about it, I can't just rely on you and Rui Zhao and the others to stop Bai Yinhua.
"Those of us who have made the most profit in the Go community must shoulder some responsibility."
Yu Qingguang was silent for two seconds, then continued to ask: "If something unexpected happens... can you still keep this title of celebrity in November this year?"
Ni Jue was calm and said: "It doesn't matter whether he can hold on or not!
“This matter…may be important to me, but to the entire circle, it cannot be any smaller.
"Without Ni Jue, there will be another celebrity; but if Bai Yinhua loses, there won't be another one in the short term... well, in the short term!"
Yu Qingguang narrowed his eyes and said nothing more on this topic.
Instead, he straightened his face and said to Ni Jue very solemnly and seriously:
"Well, thank you for your hard work, famous person Tianyuan."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Last night, our department held an end-of-year party. I didn’t dare go as I had no manuscripts saved for the upcoming update. I just found an excuse to stay at home and write.
In addition, I just took a look at the first order score of 284, and I am very happy. I feel that if I work hard, I will have a good chance of getting an average order of 500 in three months, and seamlessly connecting to full attendance. Thank you for your support! I will keep updating during the Spring Festival, and I will definitely not take leave!
Finally, I would like to thank the leader [Taishang Hongmeng Zushi] again. I will definitely add two more chapters this Sunday!
