Chu Jinsong picked up the phone, and Yang Mei turned down the sound of the TV.

"Congratulations, Lao Chu!" Wei Changkong's voice came.

Chu Jinsong was quite surprised: "Where does the joy come from?"

"Isn't it surprising that your son defeated Chi Chongliang and won the championship of this Go competition?" Wei Changkong said.

"Who? Are you mistaken, how could Chu Ge win the Go championship?" Chu Jinsong looked incredulous.

"Then you have to ask Chu Ge. By the way, don't forget to invite me for a drink when you turn around. Wei Changkong laughed and hung up the phone.

Chu Jinsong put down the phone: "Xiaoge, is it true that your Uncle Wei said that you won the championship of the Go competition?"

"Hmm!" Chu Ge nodded.

Seeing that his parents still looked incredulous, Chu Ge took out the trophy and certificate, including the 2,000 yuan bonus, and the letter of introduction.

Chu Jinsong believed it at this time, and while he was shocked, he was very emotional in his heart.

For a long time, Chu Ge has not shown too much talent in Go.

Chu Jinsong didn't deliberately cultivate him, but now that he thinks about it, he really underestimated Chu Ge and delayed him.

Yangmei cares more about the 2,000 yuan bonus.

"Xiaoge, I have no objection to you playing Go. But if you have the opportunity, I still hope that you will develop in the entertainment industry, after all, a third-rate singer earns more than a first-class chess player. ”

Chu Ge nodded.

Nowadays, large-scale Go commercial competitions have not yet been carried out, and the income of chess players is indeed too low.

This night.

Chu Ge slept quite soundly.

When he woke up, he felt full of energy, and the tiredness of yesterday's game was all gone.

After sensing the popularity value in the system, Chu Ge was pleasantly surprised, and before he knew it, his popularity value had risen to 4000+.

And it's growing rapidly.

It seems that if you want to earn popularity points quickly, you need to participate in such eye-catching activities.

When he went out for a run in the morning, Chu Ge bought some newspapers, which all had reports about yesterday's race.

"Chongyang Daily": "Chongyang District Go Elite Tournament was upset, and the super dark horse won the championship!"

"Entertainment Chongyang": "Veteran chess players have fallen off the horse, and Go teenagers have risen strongly!"

"Business Information News": "Interview with the Chess Association: The foundation is weak, and I am not optimistic about the prospects of the junior champion. ”

……

Most of the reports are praised, and occasionally in some small newspapers, there are voices that look at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge doesn't care about this, he is not a saint, he can't be liked by everyone, as long as he can earn enough popularity to let him continue to grow.

To Chu Ge's surprise, Chongyang District TV broadcast the picture of him winning the championship in the "Good Morning Chongyang" column, which has a great effect on increasing his popularity.

Three days later.

Chu Ge came to the Huaguo Chess Academy.

This is a separate courtyard, and there are a lot of green pines and cypresses planted in the yard, and the environment is particularly elegant.

Thinking of Wei Changkong's admonition when he came, Chu Ge couldn't calm down in his heart, he didn't expect that there was a person in the Huaguo Chess Academy who had an old grudge against his father.

Back then, that person used despicable means to snatch Chu Jinsong's qualification to enter the Huaguo Chess Academy, causing him to waste half his life.

Chi Chongliang was a witness to the events of that year, so he would naturally report the news and set up obstacles for Chu Ge's road to Go.

That person's name was Ma Zhiyuan.

After so many years, Ma Zhiyuan has laid a foundation here, and it must be even more difficult to deal with.

Chu Ge finished the registration procedures and went to find a place to live on his own.

There are more than 100 people who registered this time, and during the trial period, the Huaguo Chess Academy arranged meals and was not responsible for accommodation.

It is not until he passes the trial training of the Huaguo Chess Academy that he is regarded as a person of the Huaguo Chess Academy, not only free of board and lodging, but also a salary.

The first trial of the Huaguo Chess Academy.

Held in a large lecture hall, the first place to be a welcome ceremony was held.

Chu Ge looked around, and most of the people who came for the trial were older chess players, and there were basically no ones as young as him.

Sitting in the middle of the rostrum is Chen Chaoyue, the president of the Huaguo Chess Academy, who is over the age of six, but his spirit is very bright.

Presiding over the welcome ceremony was Vice President Huang Shougang, who looked imposing with thick eyebrows, not angry and arrogant.

Suddenly!

Chu Ge's body was shocked, and he found Ma Zhiyuan's name on the rostrum.

This is a man with gold-rimmed glasses, white and chubby, with an uncommon mid-parted hair, smooth and shiny, and looks polite.

Huang Shougang delivered a speech: "Chess friends, good morning, everyone! You have come all the way to the dust, and here I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Huaguo Chess Academy......

Chen Chaoyue stood up with a particularly excited expression: "As we all know, Fusang Go is now far ahead of the world. This makes us feel particularly ashamed as the descendants of Yan and Huang, the birthplace of Go. For this reason, Marshal Chen specially instructed us to do everything possible to get the game of Go up, which is the purpose of inviting you here......"

Chu Ge's expression was gloomy.

This is the darkest period in the history of Chinese Go, and it is even so confused that people can't see the future clearly.

It wasn't until Nie Whirlwind's birth that a series of victories in the Huayue Go Ring Tournament finally reversed the decline of the Chinese chess world and enhanced the confidence of the Chinese chess people.

However, after Chu Ge's investigation, there was no such person as Nie Whirlwind in the Huaguo Chess Academy, and history was changed.

At the end of the welcome ceremony, the leaders of the chess academy retreated and handed over the podium to Ma Zhiyuan.

Ma Zhiyuan cleared his throat and said, "I know, you are all chess players who dominate one side. But that doesn't mean anything at all, and to put it mildly, you're all frogs at the bottom of the well. ”

There was a commotion in the audience.

Many people showed indignant looks on their faces, Ma Zhiyuan couldn't help but look down on people too much, and some people remained silent, waiting to hear Ma Zhiyuan's next words.

Ma Zhiyuan helped his glasses: "Perhaps, you are not convinced." When you really see the level of the masters, you will know that everything I say is right. ”

Chu Ge couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

No wonder Wei Changkong said that this old boy is not a thing, it seems that twenty years can change a person's situation, but it can't change a person's nature.

Ma Zhiyuan is still making a big fuss: "To be honest, this time the chess academy is so fanfare and brings you here, I personally don't agree with it, because there is really no need for this." But it is a great opportunity for you. Of course, who will stay in the end will have the final say on the results......"

More and more people showed disgusted expressions on their faces, and Ma Zhiyuan's performance was too domineering.

"I'm a straightforward person, and I don't hide anything I say. What is the difference in the level of your amateur chess players? That is, you rarely play music, rarely participate in high-level competitions, and rarely receive guidance from masters. In a word, the horizon is too low......" Ma Zhiyuan was unceremonious.

"I went to Fuso a few days ago, and after a month of training, my level of consciousness has improved by leaps and bounds. There is a first-class training base, a first-class Go teacher, and a first-class competition atmosphere, which is simply a holy place for the development of Go, which makes people forget to return. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I hope to settle in Fuso......"

Speaking of this, Ma Zhiyuan's expression changed completely, with a yearning look.

Chu Ge is getting more and more disgusted with him, the little devils have surrendered for so many years, and another traitor popped up there.

"So, we have to put down our bodies and learn from Fuso Go. Today, I will tell you about the advanced theory of Fuso Go. Before I talk about the theory, let me first talk about the rules and etiquette of chess in Fuso......"

When Ma Zhiyuan talked about Fusang Go, his eyes lit up and he talked endlessly.

Chu Ge originally thought that after arriving at the Huaguo Chess Academy, there would be a good training opportunity, but now he couldn't help but be disappointed.

In such a public place, Ma Zhiyuan's blatant promotion of Fusang Go will obviously mislead many people, and the bad impact will be incalculable.

"The one at the door, if you don't want to attend the class, let me out now!"

Ma Zhiyuan suddenly pointed with his hand and let out a thunderous roar.

It was an old man dressed rusticly, and when he saw Ma Zhiyuan's angry expression, he couldn't help but be afraid, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Ma Zhiyuan snorted and continued his lecture.

Chu Ge calmed down and sensed the popularity value in the system, but was pleasantly surprised to find that unconsciously, his popularity value had passed the 10,000 mark.

When he first left Chongyang District, his popularity value was still 8848, but he didn't expect that although the growth rate was slow, it still brought him a surprise.

Today's Chu Ge is faced with two choices.
