"You kid can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, just invite the two of you to have a meal, how can it become a Hongmen banquet?" Ji Teng said dissatisfiedly.

"Because I've always thought you're not a good person, you kid must be plotting against you. Zhaozi scolded him again.

"Jiang Yue, Zhaozi, let me tell you what's going on. Shao Yun said on the side.

"Okay, Shao Yun, I believe what you say. Zhaozi looked at Ji Teng, who was full of anger, and smiled.

"Here's the thing, we have dozens of billiards clubs in Dengzhou City. Of course, this is all self-organized by the people, and a few people can form a club, and we also have a club called the Transcendent Billiards Club. These clubs in Dengzhou organize a tournament once a year to compete for the rankings. There are many snooker lovers, but there are not many who can play well. ”

Shao Yun paused at this point, then took a sip of water and continued.

"Our club finished fifth last year and this year we are aiming for the top three. But we don't have a lot of real players in the club, so it's very difficult to get a good place. Ji Shao is the president, in order to win a good ranking, Ji Shao took out 300,000 as a reward, and we fought for honor. ”

Hearing Shao Yun say this, Jiang Yue and Zhaozi immediately understood, and they looked at Ji Teng.

"Shao Yun is right, the Transcendental Club was founded by a few of us, and I have to give the club members a sense of honor. There are rewards for everyone who participates in the competition, but none have as many as you. Since you are not a member of our club, you will be charged a relatively high appearance fee for participating in the tournament. Ji Teng continued.

"Are there any rewards after competing for a place?"

"This is a spontaneous organization of our civil society, only the trophy does not have any prize money, it is nothing more than fighting for an honor. This is a grand event for snooker lovers, and each club also has to donate money to organize activities. Shao Yun hurriedly explained to Jiang Yue.

"What are the rules of the competition?" Jiang Yue continued to ask.

"It's very simple, thirty clubs, the first round draw is a one-on-one knockout round. A club plays four games with four players, each with four innings, and in the end the score is won or lost by the number of innings won by whom. Ji Teng explained to Jiang Yue.

"Getting into the top 15 is still a draw and one will have a bye. Or take the knockout round to determine the top eight clubs, and after entering the top eight, they will draw lots according to the knockout round to determine the top four clubs. After the semi-finals, there is a round-robin match, and the final ranking is based on the number of games won by whom. At the same time, the king of the ball will be decided, as long as the person who wins the most rounds in all the games is the king of the ball, understand?" Ji Teng looked at Jiang Yue after finishing speaking.

"I see, does every club have to take out money to give out bonuses?" Jiang Yue asked.

"No, it's all based on your financial situation. Some clubs don't pay a penny, everyone fights for honor. Some clubs have presidents or members who contribute money to motivate contestants, while others go to sponsors to pay money. Our transcendental club took out 300,000 yuan as various expenses this time, and the money was sponsored by Ji Shao's father, who was the chairman of Chaoran Real Estate Company. Shao Yun explained to Jiang Yue.

"Shao Yun, how much reward do you get for winning a game?" Jiang Yue asked Shao Yun.

"I win a game for three hundred, I lose a game without a bonus. ”

"Why are you so little?" Jiang Yue was surprised.

"Because I am the vice president of the Transcendental Club, it is my obligation to participate in the competition. Shao Yun said with a smile.

"We want to finish in the top three and if we can get into the top four you need to play 24 rounds. You can get a prize of 120,000 yuan for all wins, and you can get a prize of 70,002 for half of the winners. Shao Yun calculated an account for Jiang Yue.

On Saturday and Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., the quarterfinals will be played in the factory of a company, and the game will be held at the same time on 30 tables. The semi-finals and finals are held on the following Saturday and Sunday, for a total of four days. ”

"Understood, no problem. Jiang Yue nodded.

"We've got you a foreign player this year, and we're aiming for the top three. Jiang Yue, it's all up to you this year. Ji Teng smiled and said with a smile.

"Don't expect too much from me, I just love to play and I haven't been trained systematically. ”

"Jiang Yue, I've always been curious, where did you practice?" Ji Teng asked curiously.

"When I was a child, a neighbor's house had a ball case, and when I wasn't in school, a few friends played together, and I rarely had time to play in recent years. When I was in college, I occasionally played with Zhaozi, so how could I have so much time to play. Jiang Yue smiled.

"You play so well occasionally and you play so well, I am envious and jealous of you. Ji Teng thumped his chest and paused.

"Hillbilly, how about I join your club?" asked Zhaozi with a salivating face.

"You're too bad to be in our club. Ji Teng rejected him directly.

"Jiang Yue, let's go, don't help him play. As soon as Zhaozi put down the chopsticks, he pulled up Jiang Yue and was about to go out.

"Bastard, you won, I agree with you joining the Transcendental Club. Ji Teng glanced at Zhaozi.

"Hahahaha. You must be tough at all times, you are a typical shameless person, and you must exercise the dictatorship of the proletariat. ”

Zhaozi ridiculed Ji Teng endlessly, but Ji Teng turned his face away and ignored him at all. Because he found that he always suffered by playing with Zhaozi, and he was always suppressed by him in language.

"Jiang Yue, after dinner, we will go to practice, and there are three days to start the game. Ji Teng proposed.

"Yes, more practice can improve your performance. Jiang Yue agreed to him.

After dinner, Jiang Yue followed Ji Teng and the others to the billiards room to start practicing.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Hong called Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue told her that she was playing billiards, and Zhang Hong told him to drive over and pick him up home after work.

A little after ten o'clock, Zhang Hong came to the billiards room, and Jiang Yue and Shao Yun were still playing.

"Ji Teng, this is my girlfriend Zhang Hong, who is the general manager of the Regent International Hotel. Jiang Yue officially introduced Zhang Hong to Ji Teng.

"Manager Zhang is young and promising, and admires and admires. Ji Teng said with a hippie smile.

"You don't look like a good person. Zhang Hong looked at Ji Teng and said disdainfully.

"Hahahaha...... Should. ”

Zhaozi laughed and gloated, and Ji Teng glared at him fiercely.

"Mr. Zhang, I will set three tables on Saturday and Sunday night, and try to arrange them in one room. Ji Teng flattered Zhang Hongdao.

"Okay, Ji Shao, you are mighty and domineering. Zhang Hong immediately changed her attitude towards him.

"If you compliment me a few more times, I'll have a few well-connected clubs order meals there. ”

"At first glance, Ji Shao is the son of a rich and noble family, Ji Shao has everyone's demeanor, noble temperament, and elegant conversation......"

"Sister Hong, you can say the words of losing your conscience for a few tables of banquets, do you have anything to do with Ji Teng?"

Hearing Zhang Hong praise Ji Teng with all the beautiful words, Zhaozi couldn't help shouting anymore, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

"I feel like I'm a little too much, how did I get like this now, it's full of nonsense. ”

Even Jiang Yue couldn't help laughing as soon as Zhang Hong finished speaking, and Ji Teng's face was flushed on the side.

They didn't end playing until eleven o'clock, and Ji Teng wanted to invite everyone to supper but Jiang Yue refused, because he had to go to work tomorrow morning and couldn't sleep too late.

Zhang Hong drove Zhaozi home, and then went home with Jiang Yue.

"Jiang Yue, how did you become friends with Ji Teng, weren't you happy enemies before?" Zhang Hong asked Jiang Yue when he got home.

Jiang Yue told Zhang Hong all about Ji Teng's invitation to participate in the competition, including Ji Teng's transfer of 40,000 yuan to her. Zhang Hong was very happy to hear it, if this is the case, it would be really good.

Jiang Yue called her brother again and asked her father about his physical condition before taking a shower and going to sleep.

In the next two nights, Jiang Yue went to practice as soon as she got off work, and dinner was all invited by Ji Teng.

Jiang Yue took leave and didn't go to work on Saturday because she had to play a game today. When he got up in the morning, Zhaozi drove him to the competition place, although the game only started in the afternoon, and he had to come to familiarize himself with the court and the table first.

Jiang Yue came to the competition venue at nine o'clock, and Ji Teng and Shao Yun had already arrived.

"Jiang Yue, it's up to you today, let's familiarize myself with the table first. ”

"Okay, I'll get used to it. ”

Later, Jiang Yue and Shao Yun had been practicing on different tables, and they didn't stop until eleven o'clock, and then Ji Teng invited everyone to have lunch at a nearby restaurant.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began, and Jiang Yue was the first to play on behalf of the Chaoran Billiards Club.

In the fourth game, Jiang Yue ended the battle in two hours, and he beat his opponent 4-0.

"Hillbilly, well done. Back in the audience, Ji Teng gave him a thumbs up.

", what do you call him? You're going to call him a great god in the future, understand?" Zhaozi said viciously to Ji Teng.

"Yes, yes, yes, in the future, he will be called the Great God. Ji Teng nodded and bowed, causing Zhaozi to laugh.

"Jiang Yue, why are you here to participate in the competition?" At this moment, Xiaoxiao walked over.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Seeing Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yue asked happily.

"Our club came to play and I came to play. ”

"Ji Teng asked me to help him play, so I came over to participate. ”

"When did you learn to play billiards, why don't I know? How did you become friends with Ji Teng, a bastard? He's not a good person, stay away from him. "Xiaoxiao has always hated Ji Teng.

"Ji Teng and I don't know each other, and I'm not very good friends with him, I came to help him for the sake of money. Jiang Yue didn't hide his opinion, he really didn't regard Ji Teng as a true friend yet.

Xiaoxiao didn't think that Jiang Yue's snooker level was high, almost all the amateur masters in Dengzhou City came in this competition, she didn't think that Jiang Yue could get a good ranking.

"Do you have time in the evening, let's eat together?" Xiaoxiao invited.

"There is no time tonight or tomorrow night, Ji Teng will arrange for dinner. To be entrusted with loyalty, I must fulfill the task I promised him. Jiang Yue hurriedly explained to Xiaoxiao, for fear that she would misunderstand.

"Well, tell me in advance the last night. Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Okay, I promised to invite you to dinner and I have never fulfilled my promise, and I will definitely invite you recently. Jiang Yue felt that she should invite Xiaoxiao to dinner, she still owed her a meal, and she never fulfilled her promise.
