Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 425: Really made a fortune!

"Jingjing, congratulations!

"I've finally waited for you to challenge my title!"

April 3, 31 p.m.

Shangdu City, Zhongyuan Province, has been the venue for the Chinese Women's Go Mulan Tournament since its inception.

Facing the little witch who had just walked out of the chess room, Liu Yuhong, the current holder of the title "Mulan", congratulated her with a smile.

Yes.

In the just-concluded Mulan Tournament Challenger Final, Yang Manjing defeated Zou Yang, 8th Dan, in a small upset and entered the final three-game challenge of the domestic title tournament for the first time!
The two will begin competing for the new Mulan title the day after tomorrow, April 4nd.

However, to Mulan's surprise, Yang Manjing, who had finally obtained the qualification of challenger, was not in a very good mood.

After simply thanking him, the little witch didn't say anything else. Instead, she quickly took back her phone and started reviewing the game using AI software.

"Jingjing...what's wrong?
"Aren't you happy to be qualified as a challenger?"

Liu Yuhong couldn't help but continue asking.

"Ah... I am happy..."

Yang Manjing responded first, but there was still no excitement in his tone.

"But Sister Yu Hong, do you feel...

"The little sheep doesn't have much desire to win today?"

"No desire to win?"

Queen Mulan was stunned at first, then she remembered.

Today, the challenger finals of the Mulan Tournament were held at the same time as the first round of the Sanshuang Cup. In addition to Yang Manjing's match, Liu Yuhong also watched Sun Yi's match against South Korean rookie Yuan Youliang...

Well, it should be the other way around - she mainly watched the Sanshuang Cup competition, but she watched the Challenger Finals here whenever she had a chance, so she was not so sensitive to Yang Manjing's statement.

But now that the little witch has said so, and thinking about it a little more... Liu Yuhong found that it seemed to be true!

"Well...if you put it that way, the little sheep seemed to be a little sluggish today. He seemed to be lacking energy right from the start.

"After a big mistake in the 66th move, she didn't make any big moves afterwards. From the content of the game, it was basically euthanasia.

"I just watched the live broadcast and she looked like she had no desires anymore. It was completely different from the aggressive look she had yesterday."

Seeing that Liu Yuhong also agreed with this statement, Yang Manjing smiled bitterly and said:
“It seems…she really puts venting her anger first this time!

"After I vent my anger... nothing else matters."

"what……"

Liu Yuhong scratched his head and finally understood why his young general was not so happy.

Defeating an opponent with a low desire to win can indeed greatly reduce the joy of victory.

Especially when Zou Yang played against Rui Zhao in yesterday's Challenger semi-finals, it was obvious that his condition and momentum were much stronger than today! In comparison, Yang Manjing naturally felt that he was looked down upon.

But Queen Mulan thought about it and tried to find reasons to comfort her:
"...But, you can't say that!

"After all, the two of us played for five hours and forty minutes yesterday, and in the end Little Sheep only won half a point! I guess he was exhausted yesterday and couldn't fight again today.

"You saw it. Little Sheep was obviously relieved when he won the game yesterday, but when he heard Rui Zhao was going to replay the game, he was so scared that he ran away on the spot. It's normal that he's not in good shape today!"

"Well……

"After all... it's all thanks to Sister Na Rui!"

The little witch forced a smile, but it didn't feel like a smile:

"Now if Little Sheep wants to win a game against her, he'll have to work hard. If he makes any obvious mistakes, he'll basically lose...

"At the Mulan Games, I saw her actively cooperating with some event promotions off the field and accepting interviews more actively, so I thought she was not so aggressive anymore.

"But once she returned to the competition, she was still as desperate as ever. It seems like I was overthinking it..."

Liu Yuhong knew that his young player had a strong sense of competition with the live broadcast queen, especially since the last round of last season when the little witch was defeated by her opponent in the most crucial game, she was even more obsessed with suppressing her opponent, so he continued to comfort her:
"It's okay Jingjing!

“She and Lamb are separated next season, so here comes our chance!

"The team is also looking for a strong player to replace Sister Wang. In the next Women's Go League, we will teach them a lesson!"

"Um……"

The petite girl nodded, but did not follow her master to continue expressing her determination. Instead, after a little hesitation, she asked:
"Sister Yu Hong...can I ask you a question?"

"Jingjing, you say."

The little witch pursed her lips, as if she was having some psychological struggle, but in the end she still asked:

"That...if, I mean if.

"If I choose to be the captain of another team like Sister Rui next season...will you be mad at me like Little Sheep was at Rui Zhao?"

After hearing this, Liu Yuhong was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

To be honest, when she heard a few days ago that Rui Zhao would join both the Pohu men's and women's teams next season, she felt quite gloating - without Rui Zhao, the competitiveness of the Dongjiang women's team would inevitably plummet, and it would be highly likely that they would no longer be able to compete with the Suhu women's team for the championship next season.

But who knew that while eating the melon, he actually ate it on his head! His own young player actually had an idea!
Yang Manjing's contract has one year left, and she will be able to decide her own future after the next season. However, Liu Yuhong has always thought that the sisterhood in her team is deep, and when the little witch grows to a certain level, she can give up the position of the main player to realize the transition between the old and the new.

However, he never expected that Rui Zhao's appearance would give Yang Manjing such a strong sense of urgency!

But looking at the troubled expression of the little witch in front of her, Queen Mulan also understood:

The little witch who seemed mature but was actually naive in the past has really started to grow up.

Liu Yuhong thought about it, suppressed the sadness in his heart, put on a smile and said:

"Jingjing! What are you talking about! How could I be as petty as the little sheep!

"No matter where you are, we will always be good sisters!"

"Y-really?"

Yang Manjing's eyes lit up slightly, and there was an obvious flash of anticipation.

Seeing the little witch's reaction, Liu Yuhong pursed his lips subconsciously, but after a moment he continued to maintain a smile on his face, reached out and touched the girl's head and said:

"But... don't think about leaving the team so early!

"Maybe in a year, you'll be stronger than me! Wouldn't it be good for you to stay in our team and be the leader?"

"……what?"

Hearing this, Yang Manjing blinked, as if he had never thought of this option.

But just a moment later, the little witch looked at the idol who had been taking care of her for a long time, and finally nodded vigorously:

"Well, I understand Sister Yu Hong!

"I will definitely work hard and try to get you onto the second channel next year!"

...

...

The next day was the first day of April.

At 11:50 p.m. that day, in an office in Hongdu City, Pohu Province, the live broadcast of [Go Xiaozhao] came from the computer speakers:

“Well… Dear viewers and fans, good afternoon!

"I'm Xiao Zhao, long time no see!

"Ah... first of all, I want to apologize to everyone.

"I failed to beat Senior Sister Zou in the semi-finals of the Mulan Tournament the day before yesterday and was unfortunately eliminated...

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to win against Senior Sister Zou. I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. I will continue to work hard and strive for better results in the future!

“However, although it’s a pity to lose to Senior Sister Zou, it’s not entirely a bad thing!
"In this way, I will be able to explain to you today a key match in the round of 16 of the Sanshuang Cup - the match between my senior brother Ni Jue and the world's recognized number one player Liu Shixian 9th dan!
“After the draw was made yesterday, I believe everyone was looking forward to this game, including me!
"Today I have also invited my teacher Li Wangyuan, 8th Dan, to come and explain together. Next we will move on to... ah, I almost forgot, there is also a small promotion!

"Well, that... I recently joined the Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection Club and will play for the Pohu team in both the Chinese Weiqi League and the Women's Weiqi League next season!

“If possible, please pay more attention to Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection and professional Go competitions!
"In addition, if there are fans or companies that need environmental protection equipment, you can scan the QR code on the screen to contact us for purchase and support our sponsor Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. Thank you everyone..."

Uh……

She, she actually printed this QR code in her live broadcast room? !

Although Rui Zhao was not very fluent in speaking the promotional slogans during the live broadcast, Lai Chen, who was watching the live broadcast on the screen at his desk, was now open-mouthed in shock.

A few days ago, when Rui Zhao asked him for promotional materials and said he would help with promotion on weekdays, Lai Chen thought the other party was just being polite.

In fact, the players of each team in the Chinese Weiqi League and the Women's Weiqi League usually just cooperate in simple promotional activities at the home games, and that's all.

Lai Chen had an idea of ​​how much it would cost if he wanted to get a B-station UP with millions of followers and one of the only two famous stars in the chess circle to advertise for his company during a live broadcast.

——Anyway, it is far from being supported in the long term by the salary and victory fee I pay.

So, at that time, Lai Chen just sent a QR code without thinking too much about it.

But early this morning, he actually received a WeChat message from Rui Zhao, saying that he hoped he could help review the promotional content of the live broadcast at noon today.

It was then that Lai Chen realized that something was wrong. He waited in front of the live broadcast room of [Go Xiaozhao] on time at noon, and just then he saw a scene that made him dumbfounded.

This...what is going on?!
There is no such requirement in the contract signed between our team and Queen Zhaotian!

Just as Lai Chen was shocked, he suddenly remembered his boss's previous statement that he had "made a profit" by signing Rui Zhao, and he realized something in an instant!
Difficult, could it be...

Mr. Gong had previously agreed with Rui Zhao through the chess association that if he signed a contract with our team, he would need to help the company with free publicity? ! It was just not written in the contract? !

If that’s the case… then you’ve made a lot of money!

No wonder Mr. Gong said that he would leave the men's team alone this year and try to get the women's team to win the championship. It turns out that this was to maximize the publicity effect!

For a moment, Lai Chen thought he had learned the whole story, and then began to secretly admire his boss's meticulous planning.

However, what Manager Lai didn't know was...

At this time, in a large flat in the center of Hongdu City, Gong Quanzhen was looking at the promotional QR code of her company projected on the TV, with a look of confusion and surprise on her face.
