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

Chapter 571 Personal Sponsorship
“Rui Zhao, we have time to meet.”

At 2:14 p.m. on February , Wanyuan Times Community, Dongjiang City.

Wu Yueyun, who came to Rui Zhao's house with Lu Wenjie, greeted him naturally.

"Ah, this is my fault, Grandma Wu."

Rui Zhao answered a little embarrassedly, welcoming the two into the door and saying:

"I've been busy preparing for the Nongshim Cup recently, so I haven't contacted you..."

"Ah, I just said it casually, don't be nervous!"

Wu Yueyun sat down with a smile, but Lu Wenjie, who sat down with her, had a somewhat stiff smile on his face.

Ever since Wu Yueyun said something that made him quite uneasy when they set out today, Lu Wenjie had been feeling a little nervous. On the way to the car, he tried to ask Wu twice in a roundabout way what he meant.

The old lady smiled and said nothing, just saying that you will know when you get there.

But Lu Wenjie really had no idea what to do about Wu Yueyun's reaction.

For a veteran figure like Wu Yueyun, the Chess Association should give him full trust and respect since it has invited him to come out of retirement.

It would be inappropriate to call Shang Chaotian halfway to report the situation, or to ask questions to the end. So Lu Wenjie had no choice but to proceed according to the original plan.

Mr. Wu said that he would definitely persuade Rui Zhao for the development of women's Go, so I should just believe him first, right?
Lu Wenjie thought so.

As expected, after the guests were seated, Wu Yueyun went straight to the point:

"Rui Zhao, I heard...

“You don’t want to play women’s games anymore?

"……Eh?"

Rui Zhao looked a little embarrassed when he was questioned, but he still nodded and said:
“Yes, yes.

"It's just... I'm still a little undecided."

"Why?" Wu Yueyun continued to ask simply.

"Because, I heard Lei Qi Jiudan say...

“If I don’t hold women’s competitions in the future, it will have a negative impact on the commercial value of many women’s competitions and the enthusiasm of organizers to hold them.

"I have always hoped that more people would support professional Go and that more and more tournaments would be held...

"If I stop participating, many competitions will be cancelled, and I will definitely be sad..."

"That's it..."

Wu Yueyun's tone did not fluctuate at all:

"But I just don't understand, Rui Zhao.

“Isn’t there a popular saying among you young people: Don’t pursue suffering?

"Judging from your achievements, you should be able to easily win the championship prize in women's Go. Why do you have to endure the hardship and only participate in unlimited competitions in the future?"

Hearing this, Lu Wenjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, after hearing Wu Yueyun's pointed answer, he was worried that something strange might happen.

But now it seems that the old lady still puts the overall situation first and has begun to reason with Rui Zhao to solve his problems. This makes Lu Wenjie feel relieved.

"The pursuit of...suffering?"

Rui Zhao didn't seem to expect Wu Yueyun to ask this, but after a moment of hesitation, Rui Zhao still said firmly:

“To constantly pursue and approach the truth on the chessboard has always been my goal and dream.

“Pursuing a dream, what kind of suffering is this?”

"But, this will greatly reduce your income and achievements!"

Wu Yueyun continued slowly:
"You are now in the women's competition. Except for the Ice Queen, it is extremely difficult for others to beat you in a game!
It is highly likely that you will not have any problem getting a bonus of over one million yuan a year, and it is quite easy!
"But you can't even make it to the main tournament in the unlimited competition. It is very likely that after a year of hard work, you won't earn anything except the salary and match fees from the Weiqi League.

“Not to mention that without a championship, your accumulation of achievements will also be affected.

"This...isn't this just asking for trouble?"

"Of course that doesn't count!"

Rui Zhao shook his head very decisively, without showing any hesitation:
“Some people’s goal is to make money, and some people’s goal is to achieve results.

“For them, this may be asking for trouble.

“But for me, it’s the complete opposite!
"Although I have come to realize in recent months that money is indeed a very useful thing. Many of the problems that Go is facing now are essentially caused by insufficient commercialization and insufficient investment funds.

"But... for people, isn't money meant to be used to realize the value of life?" Perhaps for some other chess players, Go is a way for them to realize their value, so it is normal to be entangled in this.

"But for me, Go is the value of my life itself!
"If you give up the pursuit of your own life value because you are worried about earning less bonus, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.

This girl has really matured a lot recently...

And...you really think clearly!

Looking at the girl's determination, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It is money that serves the value of life, not that the value of life can only be achieved by making money.

This sentence seems simple, but there are probably not many people who truly understand it.

If Rui Zhao really wanted to withdraw from the women's competition, it would cause an immeasurable blow to the commercial value of the women's competition which has just started to improve recently. Lu Wenjie wanted to support this girl's idea.

Seeing that Rui Zhao's words had silenced Wu Yueyun, Lu Wenjie decisively took over the conversation and said:

"Rui Zhao, this matter is not that serious!

"You can just treat the women's competition as a way to relax and then leave. Why do you have to choose between one or the other?"

But Rui Zhao answered without wavering:

"Vice Chairman Lu, the most important thing to learn and improve Go is diligence and concentration!

"If I have to take this kind of time to 'relax', how am I going to catch up with Liu Jiudan and Lei Qi Jiudan?"

……What?!
Catch up...

Liu Shixian and Lei Qi? !
After hearing this answer, Lu Wenjie felt more and more that the girl in front of him was a little bit outrageous!
Who are Liu Lei and the other two?
One is the undisputed number one in the current chess world, and the other is the undisputed number one in the future!

Even Wu Lao was only in the top 20 in the world back then. But Rui Zhao actually wanted to compete with these two!
I really don’t know how confident this Queen Zhaotian is!
If the goal is set to such a level, then it is not surprising that every second counts.

Just when Lu Wenjie was extremely surprised, the girl hadn't finished her words yet:

"Grandma Wu, Vice Chairman Lu, let me tell you the truth:

"I've basically... decided not to participate in women's competitions anymore! But there are some things I still need to discuss with my parents.

“I was a little worried at first. What if I stopped participating in women’s competitions and some women’s competitions were cancelled?

“But this morning, when I talked about this with Grandpa Qian, he directly told me that if it didn’t work out, the Zhicheng Group could also help take over the sponsorship of the competition. He also helped me calculate the cost, and my mind was opened up all of a sudden!
"For a domestic women's competition, the investment for one session is estimated to be around one million yuan. Even for the World Women's Championship, the total cost is only about one million and eight hundred thousand. In fact, compared to many other sports, it is already quite cheap...

"If a sponsor really doesn't want to sponsor, I should be able to take over for one term!"

"……What?

"Individual sponsorship?!"

Lu Wenjie was stunned after hearing these words.

The profession of chess player itself is to make money through Go. I have never heard of anyone sponsoring a Go competition!

"Ah."

Rui Zhao nodded firmly again:
"If it does affect a lot of games, I think I can sponsor two events, but my living expenses and travel expenses may be a bit tight..."

"Don't, don't, don't..."

The more Lu Wenjie listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickly called for a stop.

But in response to Rui Zhao's statement, Lu Wenjie shouted to stop Guixian, but he knew that he actually had no reason to refuse, and this was purely personal freedom.

If Mr. Qian can sponsor it, why can’t Rui Zhao?
That doesn’t make sense!

So, after shouting stop, Lu Wenjie was embarrassed on the spot. He always had a lot of ideas, but for a moment he didn't know how to end the situation.

Eh wait...

Didn't I just come here to persuade Rui Zhao not to withdraw from the women's competition? !

Why did such a commotion happen out of nowhere? ! ! !

Now she has said that "if the event is to be cancelled, I will sponsor it myself", this statement has been talked about to death!

Just when the vice chairman of the chess association was doubting his life, Wu Yueyun beside him suddenly laughed out loud and said with emotion:

"Wen Jie, don't just stand there! I'm afraid you won't be able to handle this today if you're the only one left.

“Please make a video call and include Chaotian in it.

"I have persuaded Rui Zhao now, it is time to persuade him."
