Chapter 155: Selfishness
"Dong Yong? Honorary Dean?! Hearing this news, Sun Dong's heart moved-who Dong Yong was, he didn't know, he thought that the Dong family was one of the four great families in the chess world, with strong strength and many disciples, and the inner and outer disciples combined, if not five hundred, but also three hundred, this is not counting those registered disciples, and among so many disciples, only the best of the inner disciples are qualified to practice the Dong family's family tradition secret science and become a descendant disciple. This Dong Yong is also surnamed Dong, and it is not good to have a blood relationship with the Dong family, besides, Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the economy is developed, and it is the richest place in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Since I have accepted the fictitious title of honorary dean, I can't just pay for it, so I plan to send a child to the academy to learn chess." Liu Wenxiong continued.
Having said this, his meaning couldn't be clearer, he is an investor in Yangzhou Chess Academy, and he is also the honorary president of Yangzhou Chess Academy, although the purpose of the money is mainly to establish contacts, enhance his own local popularity, and indirectly advertise the business operated by the Liu family there, but he still has a certain say in the future business development of Yangzhou Chess Academy. Sending the children of Meilong Town to the chess academy to learn chess can show the existence of others in the chess academy, and secondly, it is also to provide a way for the children of their hometown to grow, so although they are selfish, they also kill multiple birds with one stone, and several parties have benefits.
As the honorary dean of Liu Wenxiong and the investor of the chess academy, it is a piece of cake to send a student to the academy to learn chess, no matter how mediocre it is, Dong Yong will definitely accept it, but Liu Wenxiong obviously does not intend to make such a fool of things, and the reason is not difficult to understand - the person sent to learn chess represents his face, behaves well, his face is bright, his performance is average or even poor, and it is his face that is lost, so he has to ask many questions and scrutinize carefully, in order to select the best candidate. Opportunity
Sun Dong said secretly in his heart.
For the Dong family in the four major families of Go, he has a special feeling, the main reason why he was obsessed with playing chess and determined to embark on the road of Go is that when he was a child, he watched Dong Jiayao, a master of the Dong family, in Qingyun City with a wonderful performance of playing less and more, which made him admire as a heavenly man, and wanted to become a chess master like Dong Jiayao.
Dong Yong wants to open a chess academy in Yangzhou, and listen to Liu Wenxiong said, the progress before he comes back is just to choose the address, from which it can be seen that the construction of the chess academy is still in the initial stage, and it must require a large number of people - no matter how powerful Dong Yong is, it is impossible to do everything himself, everything is in charge, after all, it is the chess academy and it is still in the chess academy in Yangzhou, after the start of school, the students are dozens or hundreds, just for teaching and teaching, it is impossible for four or five teachers to be busy, if they can enter the Yangzhou Chess Academy to work, With Dong Yong's appreciation and guidance, he can not only learn more advanced chess skills, but also have the opportunity to go to Dong's house in the capital to study and meet his childhood idol.
The problem is that Yangzhou is a place of outstanding people, not only there are many literati, but also countless Yilin masters, with the qualifications of their own eight-grade chess players, if they follow the normal hiring method, their own strength is limited, and secondly, they are not locals, and their connections and fame are not enough, so it is basically impossible to be selected, even if they know that there is such an opportunity, it is useless.
Now it's different, Liu Wenxiong is the honorary president of the Chess Academy, and one of the actual investors of the Chess Academy, in the early days of the Chess Academy, the right to speak and influence is quite large, if he is willing to open his mouth to recommend himself to Dong Yong to teach in the Chess Academy, for the sake of his face, Dong Yong will definitely let himself join, at least he will give himself a chance to try, as for whether he can stand firm in his position in the future, it will depend on his own ability, but in any case, Becoming a lecturer in the chess academy run by the Dong family is definitely much better than staying in Qingyun City to be a color chess killer, and the status in society alone is much higher. Thinking of this time, Sun Dong had an idea in his heart, he was a reckless person, and he often acted on the whim, since the opportunity was in front of him, of course he would not let it go easily.
"Heh, it turns out that Shibo is the reason for this. In that case, I have another recommended candidate, I wonder if Shibo is interested in hearing about it? Sun Dong asked.
"Oh, who is it? Let's hear it. Liu Wenxiong was very curious - Sun Dong was an outsider, and he had only been to Meilong Town for a total of three and a half days, so in such a short period of time, could he have already understood the situation in Meilong Town?
"Tan Xiaotian." Sun Dong replied -- If you want to get Liu Wenxiong's recommendation, you first have to help the other party solve the problem.
"Tan Xiaotian? How could it be him? Didn't Su Quan invite you to teach Su Jing Go just to deal with him? Liu Wenxiong said strangely.
"Heh, what you want to know is who is the best candidate to send to Yangzhou Chess Academy here in Meilong Town to learn chess, and I answer this question." Sun Dong smiled indifferently - if he can go to Yangzhou Chess Academy to teach, then the child who goes with Meilong Town is his own talisman, the better that child performs, the faster he will stand firm in Yangzhou Chess Academy, based on this consideration, of course he chooses Tan Xiaotian.
"Hehe, the internal move does not avoid relatives, and the external move does not avoid hatred, Xiaodong's move is quite a celebrity. Sounds like you've already met Tan Xiaotian? Old lady Liu said with a smile.
"Yes, not only have I seen it, but I have also conceded a game of chess." Sun Dong replied calmly.
"Uh, really? What is the situation? The other two asked, their eyes lit up, almost in unison.
"It was a game of three sons, his performance was far beyond the normal level of the average six-year-old child, and he grasped the advantage of being given three sons very well, and the whole game did not let me find a decent chance to turn the tables." Sun Dong replied that such an answer was well considered, not only praising Tan Xiaotian's chess strength, but also not losing his face - losing chess was not because he was incompetent, but because the opponent was strong enough!
"Oh, hehe, it's unexpected." Liu Wenxiong and Old Lady Liu exchanged glances, and sighed again and again - the day before yesterday, when Sun Dong came to visit with Su Quan, it was easy for the seventh son to win Old Lady Liu, but Tan Xiaotian's third son won Sun Dong and Sun Dong had no chance, the contrast between this is too great.
"Hehe, I'll just say that Xiaotian's kid is much better at chess than Su Jing, you see, even Xiaodong said the same, now believe it, right?" Old lady Liu said with a smile.
