There is actually not much suspense in the competition between Liang Zitao and Zhang Jiatai.
Although Zhang Jiatai is very strong in chess and has made some progress after playing against Qiu Shui.
But there is still some distance between him and Liang Zitao.
Therefore, although the match between the two players in the evening was also broadcast live, the number of viewers was really less than that of the daytime match.
Because it was a game without any suspense.
The next day was the award ceremony.
Qiu Shui and Liang Zitao were both dressed very formally.
Strangely, Lou Yuchen also wore the suit that he had customized at Longxiu.
The black suit highlights his extraordinary handsomeness.
However, Lou Yuchen usually likes to wear suits, but today he wore a suit with a tie.
So, Qiu Shui was just puzzled for a moment and didn't think much about it.
The award ceremony of the Hualong Cup Go Competition was quite grand.
On the day of the award ceremony, not only many well-known domestic media reporters were invited, but also many from abroad.
After all, the prize money for this competition is not low.
What is even more noteworthy is that the champion is actually an amateur chess player who has not yet been ranked.
What does this indicate? It indicates that the game of Go in China has begun to become inward-looking.
Amateur chess players are no longer the kind of amateurs who were looked down upon as before.
Qiu Shui, an amateur Go player, has used his strong strength to prove to the professional Go world that there are also super strong amateur players who are even stronger than professional players.
The entire award ceremony was also broadcast live.
In addition, the champion, runner-up and third place winners will also need to accept media interviews.
This made the media who had never interviewed Qiu Shui very excited.
Qiu Shui, Liang Zitao, and Zhang Jiatai sat on the right side of the podium.
Five bodyguards in black suits stood next to the stage. The eyes hidden behind the sunglasses were staring at the surroundings like an eagle's eyes.
As soon as there is the slightest sign of trouble, they will rush forward to protect Qiu Shui's retreat.
The rest of the bodyguards hid among the people below the stage. Also ready to go at any time.
In addition to the media, there were also hundreds of professional chess players who came to participate in the Hualong Cup competition.
When Liang Zitao and Zhang Jiatai, the second and third place winners, were presenting the awards, I wished I could fast forward. Go directly to the championship announcement episode.
The media have been waiting anxiously, rubbing their hands, and are eager to get started.
"Next, we will present the champion of this Hualong Cup Go Tournament."
"The winner of this championship is a 23-year-old amateur chess player. His name is Qiu Shui. Welcome our champion."
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a deafening burst of applause from the audience.
The weather today is a little cooler than yesterday, plus it's an award ceremony.
That's why Qiu Shui chose a white suit today.
Speaking of which, the clothes customized for him by the system come in many types and colors.
But, to be honest, Qiu Shui still thinks white suits him better.
Moreover, he himself likes white.
Therefore, when he was custom-making haute couture clothes at Longxiu, he filled in the color white based on his preference.
The white suit has a simple design style.
Apart from the black cufflinks, there was no other embellishment.
Even the dragon embroidered logo is hidden inside the sleeves.
Although it is simple, when worn on Qiu Shui, she feels a sense of nobility.
Qiu Shui hasn't gone out to play much during this period.
The originally fair skin became even whiter and tenderer.
In addition, I have been eating well and sleeping well recently, and my originally thin body has regained some weight.
The complexion is rosy and healthy.
The white suit he wore not only made him look gentle and elegant, but also highlighted his noble temperament that he had acquired through special training.
Although Liang Zitao and Zhang Jiatai are both more handsome than Qiu Shui, among the three, Qiu Shui, with her outstanding temperament, is the more eye-catching one.
Seeing that it was finally Qiu Shui's turn to present the award, the media who had been waiting eagerly picked up the microphones and put on nervous expressions as if they were preparing for a 100-meter sprint.
Qiu Shui walked directly to the host.
The host is about the same height as Qiu Shui, but when Qiu Shui stands next to him, it instantly gives people the feeling of a prince and his servant.
Temperament is really a very mysterious thing.
"Here it comes, it's finally Qiu Shui's turn."
"He's so handsome. When he was sitting there just now, I thought he was better looking than the other two chess players."
"That's not handsome, that's elegant. He looks like a rich and noble young man."
"I heard that he is a super rich second-generation, and he is escorted by dozens of bodyguards whenever he goes out."
"What do you mean by heard? The fact that there were dozens of bodyguards escorting him was real. Did you see the five bodyguards standing next to the podium? They were his bodyguards. The other bodyguards must be hiding among those people behind us!"
"He has such a rich family, is such a great chess player, and has such a great personality. He is simply the prince charming in a fairy tale."
"I must interview him later."
Many female reporters in the audience looked at Qiu Shui with electric eyes.
Some male reporters couldn't help feeling jealous after hearing what the female reporters said.
A male reporter wearing black-framed glasses couldn't help but mutter, "Tsk, isn't it just that she has a nice temperament, a little money at home, and is good at playing Go? What's so great about that?"
Another male reporter patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, the prize money he gets from one game is more than we can possibly earn in our entire lives. Just based on this, he is amazing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the male reporter with black-framed glasses immediately shut his mouth.
Indeed, the prize money for one competition is 50 million.
The tax alone is as high as 10 million Chinese dollars.
Moreover, since Qiu Shui is not a professional chess player, he does not need to give part of the prize money to the China Chess Institute.
The amount of taxes Qiu Shui paid alone is probably more than most journalists could earn in their entire lives.
"The guest who will present the championship award to us is an extraordinary person. He is the idol of many people in our Chinese Go community, and the pride of our Chinese Go community. He is the chess god, Lou Yuchen."
Originally Qiu Shui was thinking that after getting the bonus, he would go to a private restaurant to eat, or go to another restaurant to try new dishes.
As a result, I heard that the award presenter was actually Lou Yuchen. I was stunned for a moment.
I saw Lou Yuchen, who was sitting in the first row and wearing a mask, took it off. Then he walked onto the podium.
The reporters and young chess players in the audience were all very excited.
"Lou God? Lou God is here?"
"Oh my god, it's really Lou Shen. I didn't expect that the award presenter would be Lou Shen."
"My idol is Lou Shen. I watch every one of his games. It is also because of him that I learned Go. I never thought that I would see him in person now."
"So excited, Lou Shen is the award presenter. I envy Qiu Shui so much, he can be so close to Lou Shen."
"Quickly take a picture, the award presenter is actually Lou Shen, big news!"
"Lou Shen is actually the award presenter. How come we didn't get the news? This is too well hidden."
Among the many reporters present, none of them got the news that Lou Yuchen would be the award presenter for the championship.
The appearance of Lou Yuchen immediately made the already heated atmosphere boil.
Lou Yuchen was wearing a custom-made high-end black suit with dragon embroidery. He had an upright posture and a handsome face.
Where he was seemed to be the spotlight.
He picked up the trophy with his slender fingers and walked towards Qiu Shui step by step.
"Congratulations."
With a smile in his eyes, he handed the trophy in his hand to Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui came back to his senses and took the trophy while whispering, "Why didn't you tell me that you were the award presenter?"
When they set out this morning, Qiu Shui was wondering why Lou Yuchen wore the custom-made dragon-embroidered suit.
Oh my god, it turns out she was waiting for him here!
Lou Yuchen stood beside Qiu Shui and whispered, "Don't like it?"
"No." But Qiu Shui felt it was a little sudden.
“Pah pah pah…”
There was deafening applause from the audience, followed by the reporters' favorite question-and-answer session.
After presenting the awards, Lou Yuchen left the podium and did not return to his previous seat. Instead, he just left.
Obviously, he didn't want to wait and be interviewed by those reporters.
Besides, Qiu Shui is the protagonist today, and he doesn't want to stay and steal the show.
When the reporters saw Lou Yuchen leave, they all looked disappointed.
But soon, they quickly turned their attention back to Qiu Shui.
Reporters rushed to ask Qiu Shui questions.
There were too many people, so the host came out and started calling on everyone one by one to ask questions.
The person who was clicked was the reporter from China Go Daily.
The reporter was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties. She had a pretty face and long wavy hair that made her look very charming.
She stood up, holding the microphone, and stared at Qiu Shui with shining eyes.
"The person I want to ask questions to is Qiu Shui chess player."
The host immediately handed the microphone to Qiu Shui.
"Excuse me, chess player Qiushui, how do you feel about defeating so many professional chess players and winning the Hualong Cup?"
This question is quite standard and in line with the style of China Go Daily.
"I don't have any feelings. Go is not about losing or winning." Qiu Shui answered truthfully.
"It seems that chess player Qiu Shui is very confident in his own ability!" The beautiful reporter wanted to ask more questions, but the host had already called on another male reporter.
The male reporter stood up.
"Excuse me, Qiushui, you are such a strong chess player, have you ever thought about getting promoted?"
This is a question that many reporters seem to want to ask.
Looking at the reporters below, all eagerly waiting for his answer.
Qiu Shui said without any hesitation: "I have already signed up for the qualifying tournament."
The reporters below became excited.
"Excuse me, chess player Qiushui, you have won the Hualong Cup. If you succeed in getting promoted, will you participate in the International Chess God Cup?"
"meeting."
"Excuse me, Qiushui chess player..."
Originally, it was supposed to be the time for the interview and questioning of the three chess players, but in the end, all the reporters went to Qiu Shui.
Liang Zitao and Zhang Jiatai could only stand aside and smile bitterly.
But they can all understand.
After all, they are all veterans in the Go world, and the reporters already know almost everything they need to know.
Qiu Shui is different, he is a newcomer.
Moreover, he became a dark horse who won the championship among so many professional chess players as soon as he appeared.
"The time for questions is almost up. I will call on the last journalist friend, that journalist friend."
The last reporter the host actually called on was the male reporter wearing black-framed glasses who had been a little jealous just now.
After being called, the male reporter immediately stood up and asked Qiu Shui in a sour tone: "Excuse me, chess player Qiu Shui, during the competition, you were escorted by a large number of bodyguards every time you went in and out. This is in stark contrast to other chess players who came to participate in the competition alone. Do you think it is too high-profile?"
This statement seems to be a question to Qiu Shui, but in fact it is a complaint about Qiu Shui's high-profile display of wealth.
As soon as the reporter asked this question, the five bodyguards standing next to the podium immediately stared at him.
The man instantly felt the danger of being stared at by the wild beast, and the hairs on his body stood up.
When the others heard his question, they also frowned.
They are reporters from Go magazines and Go newspapers, not entertainment gossip reporters.
How could you ask such an impolite question in this kind of situation?
Qiu Shui certainly also felt the reporter's embarrassment.
But he didn't take it seriously at all.
Instead, he looked at the reporter calmly and said, "Sorry, that was the most low-key I could be."
What this means is that if you feel high-profile, it's just because you haven't seen the world.
As soon as these words were spoken, the male reporter's cheeks instantly turned red.
The host immediately said, "Okay, this question session is over. All media and chess players, please leave in an orderly manner."
Qiu Shui returned the microphone to the host, and then said to Liang Zitao: "Let's go."
The reporters rushed over immediately, and a dozen bodyguards who were well prepared rushed out faster than the reporters. Stop all those reporters.
The other five bodyguards escorted Qiu Shui and Liang Zitao away from the scene.
