"I disagree!"

Gu Dali put the teacup on the table and said in a muffled voice, "Do you know what a one-year ban means for a talented and talented chess player? Without a high-level game to maintain his condition, it will completely kill his talent, Ye Haoran's chess must have been seen by everyone here, it is extremely talented and spiritual, given time, he may not become a great and outstanding chess player like Ke Jie. ”

"Teacher Gu, can you not mention me? I'm all retired, and I can't afford the word great anymore. Ke Jie said with a grin.

Xu Tianhou, secretary general of the Chess Association, said with a serious face: "Now the discussion is not about whether there is talent, but about playing fake chess, no matter how talented the chess player touches this bottom line, our chess association cannot tolerate and condone it, the reputation of Chinese Go must not be ruined by these black sheep!" Our attitude towards fake chess is zero tolerance, no matter who commits the crime, they will be severely punished! ”

Gu Dali is the vice chairman of the chess association, and he snorted softly: "The judicial side has not yet decided the case, how can you arbitrarily think that this is a fake chess, in case it is an unjust, false and wrongful case?" ”

Deputy Secretary-General He Sheng said: "Now all the evidence is conclusive, but if you go through the judicial process, it will be a long time." There is still one round of the league to end this season, and the registration for next season is about to start, if Ye Haoran is not banned, will he continue to play before the court pronounces the verdict? ”

He Tianhou said: "A one-year ban is only a temporary punishment, and if you are really sentenced, I am afraid it will be a lifetime ban." ”

Gu Dali snorted coldly and said, "None of us are judges, and we don't have the power and qualifications to judge the case. But I can vouch for my personality, Ye Haoran is definitely not a person who plays fake chess, Ding Lao, he is your student, his character, you should know it best. ”

Executive Vice Chairman Ding Weiyuan had been silent, coughed lightly at this time, and said: "We all believe that the law is fair, and before the result of the law comes out, all we have to do is be cautious in our words and deeds." ”

Gu Dali was a little depressed, Ding Weiyuan, an old fox, would only protect himself and stay out of the matter, it stands to reason that Ye Haoran is his disciple, and he refuses to come forward to protect it, is it true that the rumors that their master and apprentice are not in harmony?

Gu Dali has not been in contact with Ye Haoran for a long time, but he does like this aura child, and it would be a pity if his professional life was ruined because of a trumped-up fake chess incident.

Over there, Xu Tianhou was talking eloquently: "Cracking down on counterfeiting and eliminating gangsters is the unshirkable responsibility of our chess association, look at the current league, human chess, tacit chess is popular, if this kind of cancer is not eradicated, how can Chinese Go see the sky?" Go itself is an elegant sport, but now, it is full of utilitarianism and copper stench, and has become dirty. The Ye Haoran incident is a profound lesson for us and a wake-up call for us! Comrades, we have a long way to go in cracking down on counterfeiting and anti-crime activities. ”

Gu Dali sneered: "Secretary General Xu, you only see the human love chess and tacit understanding chess, but why can't you see the hotbed for this?" The reason why there are a large number of tacit chess pieces is first of all the problem of the league system, if you don't change these systems, you will punish ten Ye Haoran, and it will be in vain. ”

Of course, Xu Tianhou is aware of the many shortcomings of the current league, but the change of the system is not an overnight thing, Gu Dali reprimanded him in person, Xu Tianhou naturally looked ugly, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to say to Gu Rude, chairman of the chess association who presided over the meeting: "Chairman Gu, what do you see?" ”

"Then vote, and the minority obeys the majority." Gu Rude is the final word.

The result of the vote came out, with five votes in favor, one against, and five abstentions.

Gu Dali was the only one who voted against, and he knew that he could not change anything on his own, so he stood up and said to the crowd: "One day, you will definitely regret your decision today!" ”

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

When I returned to the Lingyun Club, there was suddenly heavy snow in the sky, and the snowflakes of the goose ** were flying all over the sky, which was a rare spectacle for Shencheng.

However, in terms of happy words, it snows heavily, and someone must be wronged, and his Brother Ye is now even more wronged than Dou E.

"Haoran, the club has already appealed to the Chess Association, but the Chess Association has a tough attitude and upholds the original verdict, and we have nothing to do." Zhong Zhenhua said helplessly.

Ye Haoran sighed lightly, his eyes were a little dazed, he had been in the police station for so many days, his hair and beard had grown long, and he looked decadent.

Upholding the original verdict meant that Ye Haoran would not be able to participate in any level of professional competition in the next year, which made Ye Haoran's heart empty, as if something was missing.

There was an unexpected reversal on the judicial side, Chen Xingquan, the deputy leader of the Weicao team, showed the recording pen of the conversation between him and Ye Haoran at that time, which proved Ye Haoran's innocence, so the procuratorate made a decision not to prosecute for the time being according to the principle of insufficient evidence and returned it to the police for re-investigation. The police had no choice but to release the person before there was new evidence.

When Ye Haoran walked out of the police station easily, he said to Lin Kexin: "I'm afraid I've disappointed Officer Lin this time." ”

Lin Kexin gritted her teeth and said: "The surname Ye, don't be complacent too early, this case is not over yet, I will find evidence to arrest you again." ”

Ye Haoran shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'll wait." ”

Entering the hall of the club, the LCD screen on the opposite wall, which occupies almost the entire wall, flashes a line of big red characters: "Shencheng Lingyun Team 2:2 Main General Loses Jinling Weicao Team", which is particularly dazzling.

The members of the Lingyun team all gathered around him and greeted him warmly.

"Haoran, congratulations on your freedom."

"Xiaoye, welcome back."

“……”

Ye Haoran reluctantly squeezed out some smiles and responded to his teammates.

Happy eyes reddened, choked up, "Brother Ye......"

Ye Haoran patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you crying about, the man doesn't flick if he has tears, and my brother can resist it." ”

Zhong Zhenhua said: "Haoran, Manager Lu is waiting in the office, let's go over first." ”

"Okay." Ye Haoran walked into the manager's room with Zhong Zhenhua.

Manager Lu's office is elegantly decorated, and the European-style glass windows allow the scenery outside to be unobstructed, even if it is cloudy and snowing, it is still very bright, and Manager Lu is standing in front of the glass window at the moment, enjoying the snow scene with great interest.

"Manager Lu—" Ye Haoran shouted.

Manager Lu turned around and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Oh, Xiao Ye is back." These days, you can be wronged. ”

"It's nothing, I'll get used to it after two days." Ye Haoran said lightly.

Manager Lu enthusiastically gave up his seat to them and said, "Xiao Ye, I think Team Leader Zhong also told you, if you have an accident this time, the club has to worry about your affairs, you have to run to the judicial department and the chess association, and you are so busy." ”

"Thank you, manager, for your care."

"Thank you, thank you, it's all the people of the club, it should be, it should be. There is basically no problem on the police side, they can't come up with new evidence, so naturally they can't continue to detain you. But the chess association is very troublesome, I personally went to Yanjing, looking for the leadership of the chess association, soft grinding and hard bubbles, but the chess association just didn't let go. Xiaoye, we did our best, I hope you can understand. ”

Ye Haoran lowered his head and said: "It's nothing, I caused this matter, it has nothing to do with the club, so Manager Lu is worried." ”

"Xiao Ye, remember that we signed a three-year contract at the beginning, and now two years have passed, but with your ban, we can't fulfill the last year's contract." Manager Lu quickly cut to the chase.

What should come is still coming, Ye Haoran has already been prepared. "Leave it to the club's arrangement, I personally have no opinion."

Manager Lu smiled: "This season, you have made great contributions to the club, the chairman and I have seen it in our eyes and kept it in mind, although you can't play next season, but your annual salary is still implemented according to the contract, and the club will not lose a penny to you." ”

Ye Haoran was slightly stunned, Manager Lu, who has always been called "Lu Papi", is so generous today, it is really unexpected, you must know this season's salary, game fees and chess winning bonuses, but they have not been paid yet. Ye Haoran just joined Weijia last year, and signed a three-year rookie contract, although the annual salary is not much, only more than 100,000, but he does not participate in any competitions for a year, and he takes more than 100,000 yuan in vain, so the club will lose a lot of money, Ye Haoran does not move, there should be a following.

Sure enough, Manager Lu paused, and then said: "However, the current contract can no longer be executed, and the club has decided to sign a new five-year contract with you, this is the draft of the contract, you can take a look." ”

Manager Lu pushed the contract that had been prepared forward, and Ye Haoran picked it up and read it. This contract is similar to the previous contract, except that the annual salary has changed, the annual salary of the rookie contract is 150,000 yuan, and now the club gives an annual salary of 200,000 yuan.

But is Ye Haoran only worth 200,000 now?

Most of the main chess players in Weijia now have an annual salary between 600,000 and 800,000 yuan, and if the chess players who can rank in the top 30 in terms of rating, most of them have an annual salary of more than one million, and as for those top chess players who are ranked high, an annual salary of two or three million is common. In the Go world, the income gap between first-class chess players and ordinary chess players is quite staggering, 200,000 yuan, which is the annual salary of a substitute chess player.

The annual salary is low, but the liquidated damages are ridiculously high, which means that if Ye Haoran wants to transfer in the next five years, the minimum transfer fee will also reach 10 million yuan, which is probably something that no club dares to hope for.

After all, the Go project is only a niche project, don't look at the current Weijia League, which is still much worse than the football and basketball league.

Obviously, this is a pit, and signing Ye Haoran, who is currently in the top ten in the top ten, at a price of one million in five years, is the most cost-effective deal for Lingyun Club.

"I'll see." Zhong Zhenhua asked to take a look at the contract, and suddenly got up with a nameless fire, this contract is simply a robbery while the fire is burning!

Zhong Zhenhua pressed the fire in his heart and said, "Manager Lu, with Ye Haoran's current level, it should be more than worth this." ”

"Team Leader Zhong, you also know that the club's current financial situation is not very good, because of this fake chess incident, a sponsor has clearly proposed that it will not cooperate next year, and the club is in a difficult situation. The reason why he came up with this five-year contract is that he likes Xiaoye's development potential, if he doesn't play next year, the club will still have to fund him, and the year after tomorrow, who can guarantee that his competitive state is normal? The club offered a five-year contract, which is actually a gamble, and it is a big risk. Manager Lu said very seriously, as if the club had suffered a big loss on this contract.

Ye Haoran could only smile in his heart, businessmen, they will only talk about business, so what kind of favor can they talk about, robbing while the fire is burning and falling into the well, it is their instinct.

"Manager Lu, thank you for the club's kindness, but since I can't play, I don't want to be a burden to the club, so I don't want to sign this contract for the time being."

Manager Lu glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Xiao Ye, you refused the new contract, but you couldn't fulfill the old contract, do you know, what did you do, but you broke the contract?" ”

Ye Haoran felt a little sick to his stomach, he just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible and leave here. "Manager Lu looks at it."

Manager Lu took out another contract like a trick and said: "Xiao Ye, the club has shown a lot of sincerity in order to keep you, but if you have made up your mind, we will no longer be reluctant, I personally regret it." You also know that this contract is not child's play, according to the above provisions, breach of contract is subject to double compensation, do you think about it again? ”

"Haoran, don't be impulsive, I can discuss the annual salary with the chairman again." Zhong Zhenhua persuaded.

"Don't think about it." Ye Haoran said calmly.

Manager Lu turned back to the assistant and said, "Has Ye Haoran's account been settled?" ”

The assistant quickly said: "Yes, after deducting the liquidated damages, there are still two thousand five hundred and two yuan and five cents left." ”

Obviously, even Manager Lu was a little surprised, Ye Haoran didn't have to lose money, in fact, this year, Ye Haoran's appearance fee, game fee and winning chess award were already twice the annual salary.

Ye Haoran couldn't help laughing in his heart, he worked for the club for a year, and actually earned a large two hundred and five. He picked up the pen and signed his name with a brush.
