Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 259 Mutual Preparation

"So we're really lucky. We don't usually get such good treatment, and so many people come to see this old woman. It's all thanks to my grandson."

In the hospital, Yi Zheng's grandmother lay in bed and couldn't help but murmur to her grandson.

She never imagined that she would be able to enjoy the blessings of her grandson in her old age.

After peeling an apple for his grandmother, Yi Zheng nodded as he listened to her words.

Yi Zheng now understands what it means to be afraid of becoming famous, just as a pig is afraid of getting fat. He hasn't even received a title yet, he only has the so-called title of the youngest challenger, and a bunch of departments have come to his door to offer their congratulations.

It wasn't just people visiting Yi Zheng to offer their condolences; there were also visits to his family, various group photos, and even banners and bonuses.

The official WeChat account in his place of residence published countless articles, practically praising Yi Zheng to the skies.

After all, Yi Zheng's achievements are the achievements of the local area, and the achievements of the local area are the political achievements of the local government. How could the local leaders not like Yi Zheng?

After all, not every place can produce top athletes; if even one does, they are truly a treasure.

When Yi Zheng's grandmother was feeling unwell and went to the hospital, some people who knew Yi Zheng was at home came directly to the hospital to offer their condolences.

Yi Zheng now finally understands why some people experience a sudden drop in their scores right after receiving their results.

Too busy.

Such a busy schedule can really affect training and even competitions.

It's not just your busy schedule with Go; all sorts of commercial endorsements and promotions are coming your way, along with interviews on various programs, visits from various departments, and even relatives from who-knows-where.

Some people always say that they can't resist the temptations of the outside world. Can't you hide in the deep mountains and forests to escape them?

In fact, there's no escaping it.

To put it bluntly, even if you refuse everything you can, there are still many activities you can't refuse.

For example, you can refuse most interviews, but for those starting with "C", you should ask if you can refuse.

Not to mention that some business activities might be rejected by others, but what about your employer's? Not to mention there are other stakeholders involved.

Yi Zheng ran back to his hometown because he couldn't stand being bothered in Lin'an anymore.

Anyway, with Coach Ke around, preparing for the competition isn't a big problem.

But the news leaked out as soon as they arrived back in their hometown, and other people came over.

Mr. Ke said that this is all normal. You are nothing compared to him. The popularity of Go in our world was not that high. When I became the world's number one, I was away from home for months at a time, constantly on the go, participating in various competitions and events.

When Yi Zheng becomes the number one in the world, especially right after he becomes number one, that's when his popularity will be at its peak.

It's not impossible that Yi Zheng could spend several months sleeping and eating on airplanes every day.

If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Go players need to be physically strong.

"I'm also benefiting from my grandson's success. When will he get married? I'll be so happy to hold my great-grandson."

Hearing his grandmother's words, Yi Zheng was speechless: "Grandma, I'm only seventeen-something, not even eighteen yet." Let alone the fact that I'm underage for marriage, even now, people don't get married that early.

Grandma Yi felt a little dazed when she heard this: "You are still young, but many people have come to set you up on blind dates."

"……Well"

Yi Zheng was at a loss for words after hearing that, while Old Ke, who was standing next to him, burst out laughing.

However, this is quite normal; Yi Zheng is now truly a high-quality male.

Young, able to earn money, with a bright future, and from a middle-class family, if someone from a similar social class were to get involved with Yi Zheng, they would directly achieve upward social mobility.

However, Yi Zheng had absolutely no interest in this. In his small hometown, there was simply no way to find a suitable job for him, not to mention that he was already very interested in modeling.

To put it bluntly, if Yi Zheng goes on blind dates, the most likely outcome is that almost all the women are satisfied with him, while he is dissatisfied with almost all of them.

Men and women naturally think very differently when it comes to arranged marriages. Men think it's reasonable for Liu Qiangdong to marry Zhang Zetian (the "Milk Tea Sister"), while women think he should marry Dong Mingzhu (Dong Mingzhu).

Men like young women and can marry young women; women also like young women, but they don't like to marry young women.

Yi Zheng's own modeling and intelligence business is high-end; even if it's backward compatible, you should at least have some highlights.

A domineering CEO is unlikely to fall in love with a menopausal woman, just as a beautiful young woman is unlikely to fall in love with a middle-aged divorced man, unless that man is very... (unclear text - possibly a reference to a character or a man).

However, Yi Zheng's mind wasn't on that right now. Dating took up too much time. He already had a lot to do, and if he added dating on top of that, Yi Zheng felt he would fail in several major competitions.

I want to focus my energy on Go!

Meanwhile, Yun Linglei couldn't help but sneeze in the research lab, rubbing his nose. "Who's talking about me? But there's nothing I can do, I have to focus all my energy on preparing for the competition right now!"

Yun Linglei couldn't help but sigh. He was really doing his best for the upcoming three-game match for the title!
He even broke up with his girlfriend whom he was only halfway through dating, thus becoming a glorious member of the ex-girlfriend army.

Yun Linglei felt that he was pretty good. After all, he never cheated on his girlfriends. He would jump from one relationship to another, but he was just a little fast at it. He was much better than many scumbags.

"I've studied Yi Zheng's game records until they're worn out. Ultimately, it comes down to performance on the day. I need to get myself into the best possible condition."

After finishing a bag of goji berry juice in one gulp, Yun Linglei brewed a cup of kidney-tonifying and vital energy-strengthening tea prescribed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

The most urgent task now is to get my body into the best possible condition so that I can perform at my best.

It's understandable that Yun Linglei sometimes doesn't perform well in competitions, since he can spend the night before a competition talking with a girl until late at night.

"The key is still the first game. Is there anything we can prepare? Should we prepare a throwing knife for Yi Zheng? We need to figure that out ourselves."

Many people feel that there's something to it about the 33-point betting odds, but no one has figured out the changes yet, and betting rashly might not be cheap.

We need to make a good overall plan.

Both Yi Zheng and Yun Linglei are making the best preparations for the upcoming finals.

They all knew that this match might be a turning point that would determine their fate in the game!
