Dongdong is indeed cowardly.

If Yang Zheng was in this scene at this time, he would definitely not hesitate to point out what Dongdong lacked at this time and let her change.

It's a pity that Yang Zheng is not here, and if you want to change, you always have to rely on Dongdong himself.

Perhaps it was also because he saw the unknown side of Internet celebrity chess players, and Huanhuan's mood became a little uncalm.

The afternoon was quickly over.

The agent drove them back to the hotel, and although Dongdong's record in the afternoon was terrible, the sophisticated agent did not blame Dongdong.

Maybe he already knew that Dongdong would have this ending when he participated in this event, or maybe he knew this ending in advance, so he was so relieved and bold to let Dongdong show her most authentic level.

I have to say that he should have a plan for Dongdong.

In the car, he also praised Dongdong's good performance this afternoon, although she acted like a supporting role in the competition in the afternoon, but she became the protagonist on the Internet.

As long as you open any news app, as long as you are in the chess section, Dongdong's performance in the afternoon has become a focus.

And it is also the focus of contradictions.

Some media people commented that Dongdong's chess level is indeed the lowest level among all professional chess players, and even Internet celebrity chess players can't play.

But more media people are talking to Dongdong, they are sarcastic about those traffic Internet celebrity chess players, and they are also likely to see through live broadcasts that they are playing chess with software.

In the circle of professional chess players, although they watched Dongdong break the two unwritten rules of the chess circle, Dongdong's fiasco made them feel that Dongdong still has a certain professional ethics at least as a professional chess player. Thinking about her age, most of the professional chess player circle has also changed to an inclusive attitude.

And this transformation seems to be in the broker's plan.

Huanhuan, who returned to the hotel, began to text Yang Zheng, telling her everything that happened today.

At this time, Yang Zheng had just gotten off the high-speed train, and he did not rush home, but went to Happiness Park to play chess with his old brothers.

He looked at the text messages on his mobile phone, and also learned from the mouths of several old brothers about Dongdong's performance during the live broadcast in the afternoon.

For Dongdong, these old brothers have mixed feelings.

One is because they have been with Dongdong for a while, and for them, Dongdong is like a junior for them, they have watched Dongdong grow up, watching her grow from an ordinary, shy little girl to a professional chess player who is in charge of her own right.

Although she has grown slowly since becoming a professional chess player, the Internet is full of negative news about her.

But with the "filter", they still think that she is the simple and kind little girl she used to be.

Moreover, they also watched the game carefully, they all have a certain foundation of chess strength, and they can see that Dongdong's opponents, except for one, are all playing chess with software.

The natural sense of justice coupled with preference makes them want to fight Dongdong even more.

Yang Zheng silently listened to the old brother's evaluation of Dongdong, he took out his mobile phone and watched the game replay carefully.

It was also because I watched the replay of the game carefully.

Yang Zheng's brows tightened more and more.

He seemed to see something, and he seemed to realize something.

He didn't contact Dongdong at the first time, and since he left, although he still has a shallow master-apprentice relationship with Dongdong.

But his current identity makes him only a bystander to bless.

……

It is said that a person, as long as he is over 36 years old, his intelligence will inadvertently decay.

This is the conclusion of a well-known testing agency.

But since getting to know those old brothers in the Happiness Park, Yang Zheng has also discovered that the criteria for judging intelligence are not just simple paper and age tests.

Experience, quality, emotions, and many other miscellaneous things can affect the evaluation criteria of intelligence.

He also knew that he was not a smart person, and he might have strengths in some places, but he could only be regarded as an ordinary person compared to the people he came into contact with.

But the more ordinary a person is, the more malleable he is.

The experience of more than a year has made him understand that a good habit, a self-disciplined life, and an excellent quality can change a person's fate.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after Yang Zheng said goodbye to his chess friends, he was ready to find a place to settle his dinner at random.

He was also on the way to the hotel and remembered Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang seems to be busier this year than last year.

Maybe it's to prepare your child for college tuition, or maybe it's to keep your few middle years without any regrets.

He took the initiative to apply to his boss to delay the closing time by two hours.

And the shopkeeper, who was the same age as him, looked at Lao Zhang, who already had gray hair and was no longer high-spirited, he thought about it for a long time and agreed.

He gave Lao Zhang a salary increase of 1,000.

also told Lao Zhang to pay attention to his body, after all, he has opened a store for so many years, and he has seen too many examples of men dying suddenly due to the pressure of life and family.

He was also worried about Lao Zhang's body, although Lao Zhang looked chubby and his body was also very strong. But as the owner, he also knows that the long-term life of oil smoke has caused Lao Zhang's body to contract many chronic diseases.

The pressure of working twelve hours a day and 27 days a month are silently destroying Lao Zhang's actual crippled body.

And now for the sake of his children, Lao Zhang has to work more than 14 hours.

Lao Zhang is not easy, but the smile on his face doesn't seem to know that he is not easy.

Perhaps it was not easy for him to know everyone, many even more than him.

But even if life is not easy, as long as you have a hope, that difficult life becomes interesting and meaningful.

Lao Zhang once thought that his hope was poetry and chess.

He also spent decades immersed in these two self-righteous hopes.

But the reality is cruel, and decades of immersion have made him understand that these two are not his hopes, but more like the "burden" of life.

Stacked poems as high as his own, put in the scrap yard for only a dozen yuan, played chess for decades, and did not become a real chess master.

Playthings are demoralized, wasted time, it seems that these two words have become a summary of the first half of his life.

What is his hope?

He looked around, as if his son was the only thing left in his hope.

His son is different from himself, he is smarter than himself, and he is better looking than himself.

Since his life is already a mess, he will never let his son have a life as bad as his.

He worked hard and fought hard.

Try to let go of your previous dreams.

In order to realize his son's future dream.
