Chapter 258: It's none of my business

"It's nothing more than some cliché and old-fashioned nonsense, no tricks." Zhao Yanwu replied disappreciatively.

"How is it possible, if it's just a few polite words, do you need to give people that kind of face?" Liu Tienan doesn't believe it, but he can't be blamed for it, it's really Zhou Peide's special identity, no one would believe that such a person would take the initiative to invite someone to his home for no reason.

"Heh, it's the same to write anything, can't I guess what he thinks?" Snorting, Zhao Yanwu said.

"Huh? You know? What's the matter? Zhao Yanwu's wife and Liu Tienan asked in unison - when did Zhao Yanwu become a fortune teller, pinching his fingers, knowing five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and even knowing what people think in their hearts?

"What else can it do, eighty percent has something to do with his grandson." Zhao Yanwu replied.

"Something to do with his grandson? What do you mean? Zhao Yanwu's wife said strangely.

"Oh, I understand, do you mean that Zhou Shaokang lost to Tan Xiaotian in chess, and I heard that you became a special tutor for Tan Xiaotian and Lin Zicong, so I was very unconvinced, and begged Zhou Peide after I went back, Zhou Peide loves his grandson and can't stand the grinding of children, so I want to invite you to come over and want you to take his grandson as a disciple?" Liu Tienan knew more things, and after Zhao Yanwu's prompting, he immediately linked the cause and effect relationship between the front and back.

"What else is he looking for me to do? I can't fight with him. Zhao Yanwu said disdainfully--Is it great to be rich? The so-called tolerance is great, no desire is rigid, the salary of the Jiangdu Chess Academy is very rich, food and clothing are not worried, there is a family and a business, a wife and children, life is easy, there is nothing to be satisfied. In this case, don't say that you Zhou Peide is just a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, even if you are the first rich man in the world, it has nothing to do with me.

"It seems that you don't plan to accept Zhou Shaokang as a disciple, otherwise you won't send the matter to Zheng Jigong." Liu Tienan completely understood, everyone in the Yangzhou Go circle knew Zhao Yanwu's temper and style, what he was unwilling to do, Zheng Jigong couldn't force him, Zhao Yanwu sent people from the Zhou family to find the top management of the chess academy, that is, he did not plan to accept apprentices. He has been a lecturer in Jiangdu Chess Academy for five or six years, and he has already formed a tacit understanding with Zheng Jigong, and similar things are pushed to Zheng Jigong to solve, he can save his worries, and secondly, he can also avoid directly stiffening the relationship with others, as for how Zheng Jigong handles it, he is too lazy to care, so if a person who knows his temper wants to let his children worship under Zhao Yanwu, he usually talks to Zheng Jigong first. and then use Zheng Jigong to do Zhao Yanwu's work, so that even if it doesn't work at the beginning, as long as Zhao Yanwu doesn't refuse it personally, there is always room for maneuver in the middle. And this time, Zhou Peide obviously didn't understand Zhao Yanwu's temper. Or he was overconfident in his own financial resources, and directly found Zhao Yanwu's house, which was self-defeating and aroused Zhao Yanwu's disgust. The so-called manly man, in a word, it is difficult to chase the horse, and Zhao Yanwu has made it clear that he does not intend to be Zhou Shaokang's special tutor. That's nine out of tenth.

"Alas, accepting Lin Zicong is already against my principles, how can I make an exception." With a sigh, Zhao Yanwu shook his head and said, his expression looking very helpless.

"Huh? What do you mean? Since you don't care about the Zhou family, it stands to reason that you shouldn't need to look at the Lilin family? Could it be that Lin Zicong's chess is more than Zhou Shaokang? No, although Shaokang's chess talent was a little worse than Tan Xiaotian's that week, but in terms of heart, it was also above the average level, not necessarily inferior to Lin Zicong, you don't seem to have seen the chess of the two of them, where did the comparison come from? Liu Tienan said strangely.

"Heh, his cousin, don't ask, his displeasure has nothing to do with that child's chess talent, just because Tan Xiaotian was originally going to Yangzhou Chess Academy to learn chess, Dean Zheng wanted to pull him to Jiangdu Chess Academy, but the only person who could make this happen was Mr. Lin Baoliang Lin, so Yanwu only agreed to be a special tutor for his grandson, so he invited Mr. Lin to come forward in person." Zhao Yanwu's wife interjected with a smile to explain to her husband, she didn't think there was anything wrong with such a deal, and it could even be said to be very reasonable - who is greedy for no profit, ask someone to help with things, don't pay something, where in the world is there such a good thing.

"Oh, there's this, hehe, it's kind of interesting." I just heard this matter, that is, Zhao Yanwu's wife said it, it shouldn't be wrong, I thought that Lin Zicong was really lucky, if it weren't for Tan Xiaotian's relationship, the Lin family would move out of a golden mountain, and it might not make Zhao Yanwu give up his principles, but then again, if he is really willing to pay such a high reward, he can invite a stronger master to be a tutor, so why bother to compete with Zhao Yanwu's temper and tendons?

"What are you laughing at? Isn't it relieving to see that I give up my principles? Zhao Yanwu said stupidly - the scholar has something to do, something not to do, like him, a person with the Wei and Jin Dynasty famous scholars has an incomprehensible insistence on integrity, this time because he does not want to lose a genius student and give up his own principles, although it is a last resort, but the heart is still very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, how is it possible, I'm happy for you." Liu Tienan hurriedly explained, "A gentleman has something to do, something must be done, sacrificing the small self and taking care of the big self, this is a wise move, when playing chess, there are more local situations to give up in order to take care of the overall situation, you will not ignore the overall victory or defeat for the sake of local small profits, right?" Compromise is not a concession, but for the final result, you temporarily let go of your principles, but you can exchange for a genius chess boy like Tan Xiaotian, even if this is a transaction, you will make a lot of money, not to mention that Lin Zicong's child is sharp and looks very smart, it may not be enough to be your student, be relaxed, you did the right thing. If the Zhou family uses this as an example to accuse you, you ask them to find a genius chess boy who can compete with Tiantian, and you will agree. Liu Tienan said with a smile.

"Looking for another one? Oh, if you can find a genius if you want to find it, can that genius still be considered a genius? I think I'm different enough, unkind enough, who thinks that you are the real black heart, and you actually put forward such a condition, aren't you deliberately making things difficult? Zhao Yanwu said with a smile.

"Hehe, whatever, it's not me who is embarrassed, who made Zhou Peide want his grandson to ask you to be a teacher. Drink and drink, there is wine today, drunk today, there will be no rice tomorrow and tomorrow will be worried, anyway, Dean Zheng is dealing with this kind of thing, if you don't find him something to do, wouldn't you be sorry for him? Liu Tienan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
