Qin Qianyi stroked his chin, "Let me guess, Ann wants to participate in the competition, is it because she wants to win the prize money?"
Ann nodded earnestly, "Yes!"
Qin Qianyi guessed again, "Is it to use the prize money to support Daddy?"
The little head nodded vigorously once again, "Yes!"
Qin Qianyi chuckled and gently pinched her little cheek, "Ann, you truly are amazing! Your goal is set so well! Fantastic!"
When it came to money, Qin Yaoyu immediately took out his phone and checked the prize money that could be won in the competition.
He furrowed his brows and sighed inwardly.
The amount of money was not even enough to get stuck in his teeth.
Looking at Ann’s enthusiastic determination, Qin Yaoyu initially wanted to advise her to earn money in other ways, but he couldn’t bring himself to say a word.
Instead, he encouraged her, "Ann, this idea of yours is excellent! Fifth Brother supports you!"
He couldn’t bear to dampen Ann’s spirits.
Even if the prize money was meager, Ann’s happiness was the most important thing!
Upon hearing the words of his fifth brother, Qin Sui’an happily raised her round eyes and became even more determined to participate in the competition!
Qin Lvzheng quickly checked as well.
While there were no age restrictions for participating in chess competitions, one needed to accumulate personal points from smaller competitions first.
Only when the total points reached a certain threshold could one participate in larger competitions with prize money.
Qin Lvzheng had concerns.
He worried that Ann was still young and if she faced setbacks and frustrations in the competition, it might affect her mentality.
He looked at Ann, her bright round eyes and excited expression filled him with an inexplicable surge of enthusiasm.
"I also support Ann!"
No matter what! He would support his little sister unconditionally!
Qin Yanyi seemed to have the same thoughts as Qin Yaoyu.
A knot formed between his eyebrows, but after a moment, his expression slowly relaxed. "Ann, I also support you!"
He could even obtain a qualification as a psychologist in advance.
If Ann faced setbacks in the competition, he could help her to cheer up.
Qin Niexun carefully considered it.
Chess, being an elegant competition, wouldn’t involve any physical harm.
Ann had also recently received boxing lessons from their brothers, which they unanimously approved of.
After ruling out any danger, Qin Niexun nodded cautiously, "I also support Ann!"
Qin Fujia extended his hand, bringing a refreshing scent of sandalwood.
He placed his palm on Ann’s head, his calm tone filled with endless affection for his little sister, "Ann, I also support you."
All six brothers expressed their full support for their little sister!
Lan Jin looked at them with satisfaction, then turned to her husband by her side, "Ah Huo, I remember you have a friend who knows a bit about chess, right?"
Qin Huo immediately understood her intention and said, "I’ll contact him right away."
Although he said he would do it later, Qin Huo stood up, one hand leaning on his cane, the other picking up his phone, and left the living room.
When Qin Haochen finished his work and returned to the villa in the bay, he learned about his little milk dumpling’s upcoming chess competition.
Qin Haochen showed a rare look of astonishment and hugged his little milk dumpling tightly, "Is it so sudden?"
Soon, he returned to his usual self.
He had personally witnessed the chess skills of his little milk dumpling, and participating in this type of competition would only benefit her.
"All right, when is Ann’s first match? Dad will accompany you."
Even if the group was busy, he would make time to accompany his little milk dumpling.
Qin Sui’an looked towards her the old man, not knowing when.
Qin Huo had contacted his old friend Ji Yi and quickly registered his granddaughter for a small chess competition in the area.
"I have asked and there happens to be a small competition in the city tomorrow morning. Ji Yi said Ann can try it out and gain some experience."
Ji Yi was a chess grandmaster who had won numerous chess competitions and was currently in a semi-retired state, rarely appearing in public.
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Huo’s phone rang, and it was Ji Yi calling.
He pressed the answer button, "What’s up, Ji Yi?"
"Qin Huo, I forgot to ask, how old is your granddaughter?"
Qin Huo’s heart skipped a beat, "Didn’t you say there’s no age limit?"
What if they refused to register his precious granddaughter because she was too young? What would he do then?
"Yes, there’s no age limit, but the registration form still requires an age to be filled in."
"You scared me."
Qin Huo breathed a sigh of relief, then answered, "Three and a half, let’s just say three."
"Huh? How old?"
"Three."
"...How old?"
"Three!"
"Three, three? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? It’s not thirteen?"
"It’s three! One, two, three!"
Qin Huo furrowed his brows, "Ji Yi, do you have a hearing problem? Should I type it out and send it to you?"
Ji Yi seemed to have heard a joke.
"Your granddaughter is only three years old?! Participating in a chess competition at such a young age? Qin Huo, although it’s a small competition, it’s not child’s play. As far as I know, the minimum age for participants in this competition is fifteen."
Mr. Qin remained calm and composed. "Oh, from now on, the minimum age for participants is three years old, thanks to my granddaughter."
"..." Ji Yi was speechless.
However, since his old friend personally approached him, he couldn’t refuse.
He simply stated, "Let me make it clear, I am currently not involved in any chess competitions. Although I know the referee, I will not help you gain any unfair advantage. In the competition, one must rely on their own abilities."
"Who said anything about gaining an unfair advantage?"
Qin Huo sneered disdainfully.
"Ji Yi, let me make it clear as well. My granddaughter is still young and won’t be taking any disciples. Don’t come begging me to accept her as your apprentice."
"You’re quite confident," Ji Yi didn’t take his words seriously at all.
The Qin family had good genes, but what chess skills could a three-and-a-half-year-old child have?
They hadn’t even been weaned yet.
Well, let’s consider it as a favor to Qin Huo.
Ji Yi said, "All right, I’ve filled in the age as three and submitted the registration. Remember to bring your granddaughter to the competition tomorrow."
After ending the call, Qin Huo snorted again. "This Ji Yi, who does he think he is?"
He opened the competition rules sent by Ji Yi and handed them to Qin Haochen.
"Haochen, take a look at these."
Qin Haochen took the phone and first noted the time and location, then carefully read through the rules.
Ann in his arms also looked attentively and after a while, she raised her little face, pouting. "Daddy, Ann can’t read, I don’t understand."
Qin Haochen gently lifted the corners of his mouth.
"Daddy will read it to you."
He followed the rules, slowing down his pace, and read them aloud to Ann, explaining the parts she didn’t understand.
Qin Sui’an listened attentively, nodding her little head vigorously.
"Ann understands!"
Not only did Ann need to familiarize herself with the competition rules, but her Sixth Brothers, as well as her daddy, the old man, and grandma, also took note of the rules.
After dinner, the bodyguards quickly arranged an empty room, transforming it into a chess room.
Everyone took turns playing chess with Ann, strictly following the competition rules, allowing her to adapt in advance.
