Chapter 22 Game 22 Three Provinces Exchange Competition

A few days ago, Mr. Zhou Zhongxia from the Wan Provincial Chess Academy approached Tian Minze because Anhui Province, Jiangnan Province, and Gan Province were preparing to hold a three-province Go exchange competition.

This competition is co-sponsored by Wan Provincial Newspaper Industry, Jiangnan Cat Factory Internet and Gan Provincial Dajiang Automobile. It is hoped that the first session will make it famous.

The popularity of many competitions is due to novel formats or star chess players.

Therefore, the exchange competition is modeled on the rules of the three-nation arena competition between China, Japan and South Korea. Five chess players from each province compete in pairs. The winner will stay to participate in the next round and play against another group. The loser will withdraw from the competition.

The next player on the team will take over for the next round.

The rules of the arena competition are the easiest to attract the audience and the most interesting to watch.

In terms of strength, Anhui Province is the weakest and Jiangnan Province is the strongest, but the three provinces also have their own nine-dan chess players.

Anhui Province originally had one of the world's strongest chess players, Yu Xiaoyang, but Yu Xiaoyang made his debut in Kyoto and was rated as a Kyoto chess player. He is not considered a chess player in Anhui Province.

Now the most powerful player in Anhui Province is the rising 5th-dan Xu Hou, who has ranked well in several title matches. The most famous one is Han Chunyang 9th-dan, but Han Chunyang is already relatively older among professional chess players, although he is still still

He is active, but his strength is not as good as before.

This time Han Chunyang served as the chief general and Xu Hou served as the deputy general.

All provinces are looking for star chess players, so Anhui Province put some thought into the position of vanguard and proactively proposed five chess players. The vanguard will have a young chess player whose rank has not yet been determined.

So Mr. Zhou found Tian Minze just so that Tian Minze could play as a vanguard. He not only has traffic but also looks like a dark horse in terms of strength.

Tian Min agreed readily. He was worried that he had no chess to play, and now a competition was coming. It would be great if he could earn some points.

"Oh," Mr. Zhou said with emotion, "I am confident that I can take advantage of the vanguard, but the second team requires amateur chess players. The amateur chess players in our province are of average quality. I really don't know where to find them."

Tian Min thought for a while and recommended a candidate, "Mr. Zhou, I heard that there is an amateur chess player named Long Yan who seems to be in our province and is extremely powerful. I recommend him."

After receiving Tian Minze's information, the Wan Provincial Chess Academy found Long Yan to play, and Long Yan was very happy to participate in the competition. Tian Minze and Long Yan also played several games in private, and they were really good. He did not use AI.

It is difficult to win chess.

It is a pity that such players do not have the opportunity to play professional Go.

In such a commercial competition, my mother sent a lawyer to take full responsibility for Tian Minze's appearance fee. In the end, it was agreed that the entry fee was 20,000 yuan, which he could get regardless of whether he won or not. The appearance fee for each round was 10,000 yuan, and if he won, he would get 10,000 yuan.

For more than one game, in addition to 10,000 in the first game, an additional 20,000 will be added for each additional win.

When the lawyer appeared in front of Tian Minze with the contract, Tian Minze was a little surprised. When did he become so valuable?

"Hello, I am lawyer Lu Jing, graduated from Wan University of Finance and Law," the visitor introduced himself.

The lawyer was about twenty-seven or eight years old, a good-looking long-haired girl who seemed to have just graduated.

"Your mother, Ms. Zhang, hired me for you before. From today on, I will officially serve as your Go agent." Lu Jing took out the contract between her and Tian Minze's mother.

"The contract lasts for four years until you reach adulthood. You can choose whether to renew the contract at that time. I will take 10% of your competition bonus before tax; I will take 10% of your advertising endorsements and commercial activities before tax.

15%, daily expenses are calculated separately. At the same time, I will handle the finances for you, and I will be responsible for your large expenses."

"Of course I will also keep it confidential. Even your mother has no right to know your consumption."

Lu Jing took out a mobile phone and handed it to Tian Minze, "This is your commercial mobile phone. It is only used for communication between you and me and for external activities."

Tian Min shook his head. Sure enough, his mother's business thinking was still strong.

"This Sunday night, the three provinces' chess academies will hold the opening ceremony of the exchange competition at the same time. I will pick you up then. Remember to be prepared and wear formal attire for the dinner," Lu Jing reminded.

…

Therefore, Tian Minze invited Lin Miaomiao to attend the dinner party held by the Wan Provincial Chess Academy.

Originally Lin Dawei said he didn't want to agree, but Lu Jing said from the side, "Xie Weizhou, the principal of the elite middle school, will also attend this dinner."

Wang Shengnan was so moved by this sentence that he nodded in agreement.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when the high school entrance examination ended. Tian Minze had been waiting at the door of the examination room early. Lin Miaomiao walked out of the examination room with brisk steps, "Minze, I think I did very well in the examination. It seems that I have done most of the questions. I'm lucky."

That’s great.”

Most of the exams were based on feelings. When Tian Min heard what Lin Miaomiao said, he finally let go of his worries. He reached out and pinched Lin Miaomiao's face, "Then it's finally time to be free."

Lin Miaomiao reached out and slapped away Tian Minze's mischievous hand and rolled her eyes at him.

When Lu Jing saw Lin Miaomiao, she shook her head slightly and said, "These clothes are not good. Come on, let's go somewhere first."

Then, Tian Minze sat bored in a private image studio for 2 hours. It was almost dark before Lin Miaomiao reappeared in front of Tian Minze.

Stunning!

This is the only word that flashes in Tian Minze's mind.

At this moment, it seemed that the image of Lin Miaomiao overlapped with that star girl from another world, which made Tian Minze a little unbelievable for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Lin Miaomiao became a little uneasy as Tian Minze stared at her. She stretched out her hand to gently cover the chest of her dress.

Wearing a white dress, it showed off the girl's beautiful swan neck. The girl who had never worn an evening dress seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Miaomiao, you are so beautiful today," Tian Min praised, "I was at a loss for words for a while."

The girl's long hair was styled by the stylist and scattered on her shoulders. The black-rimmed glasses were also removed and contact lenses were put on.

Lin Miaomiao looked at herself in the mirror, standing next to Tian Minze, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and felt a shy feeling that she had never felt before.

Tian Minze also had a handsome hairstyle today, and the makeup artist painted some eye makeup on him to give him a different look.

Coupled with her already taller figure than her peers, she looked very masculine standing next to Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao felt her heart beating faster, as if she had never thought of such a scene.

"Miaomiao can practice using high heels in the future," lawyer Lu Jing suggested from the side, "but to be on the safe side this time, just wear a pair of flat shoes."

Tian Min lowered his head. Under the skirt, the girl's white and tender feet were wearing a pair of light blue flat shoes. A few simple ribbons were tied around the girl's ankles, which made her look even more youthful and elegant.

Lu Jing also looked at the two people with satisfaction, "A good image can add points to your Go career, so from today on, every time you attend a formal occasion, remember to take good care of yourself."

Before the event started, there were already many reporters waiting at the entrance of the chess academy to take pictures. Tian Minze and Lin Miaomiao stepped out of the car together. The handsome appearance of the handsome girl quickly caught everyone's attention.

There were constant shutter sounds, and Lu Jing signaled the two of them to stop for a moment to give reporters time to take pictures.
