Daiyu: After being reborn, who still wants to be a yandere?
Chapter 246: There are also professional chess players in Nancheng
"Wu Changquan, it's your turn."
Because Wu Changquan was backstage, he couldn't hear the third and second place clearly.
After he played a draw game with Zhou Yi, he was actually mentally prepared that it would be difficult for him to get first place this year.
When he heard Xiao Huang asking him to go on stage, and saw that only he and Zhou Yi were left backstage, he had a rough idea in his mind -
Unexpectedly, after a year, I still missed the first place because of a draw. Am I always going to be the runner-up?
When Wu Changquan thought of this, he felt very unhappy. With a gloomy face, he walked towards the podium.
On the podium, although Lin Xi took a step back, she was holding the trophy and medal. Wang Meihua was below the stage, taking pictures of her.
Lin Xi had originally been aiming for the top three, but the provincial chess competition was difficult, and getting fourth place was already a great achievement.
Wu Zifeng's apprentice Chen Ming could only tie for eighth place with another contestant this year and barely stood on the podium.
You know, he also got fifth place last year!
When Lin Xi heard the third place, she thought it must be the absent person. She looked towards the entrance with envy.
As the spotlight shone on the entrance, Wu Changquan looked wilful and walked towards the stage with a gloomy face.
Even Wu Zifeng was shocked when he saw him——
Today, he was so focused on Daiyu's four-step killing move that he even forgot about his son.
Third place?
That means there are two other contestants with higher scores than Wu Changquan?
In the audience, everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw Wu Changquan coming on stage:
"Isn't this a mistake?"
"Wu Changquan should be the first, how could he be the third?"
The host held up the microphone and gave an official speech to Wu Changquan:
"Congratulations to our player Wu Changquan for winning the third place in this Yunnan Chess Professional Tournament..."
Before the host finished speaking, Wu Changquan frowned and interrupted the host:
"You're wrong! It's the second place!"
Although, this time, Wu Changquan has already confirmed that he will not get the first place, but no matter what, this host is too exaggerated, he even read the ranking wrong!
His face was already gloomy, and now, it looked even more horrified.
The host was seconded from Yunnan Provincial TV Station and had good professional qualities. When she heard Wu Changquan questioning her like this, she reacted immediately.
However, she still felt awkward. She paused for a moment, looked down at the ranking list, and continued:
"Sorry, I am the third place winner. Now, please share your thoughts on winning the award."
After finishing speaking, the host passed the microphone to Wu Changquan.
Wu Changquan himself didn't understand what was going on. However, when he heard the host confirm the third place, no matter how well-mannered he was, he couldn't help but get annoyed and said impatiently:
"Host, I have a question, why am I third?"
Wu Changquan was in a state of irritability. His voice was amplified through the host's microphone, resounding loudly and echoing in the award ceremony hall.
Wu Zifeng, who was in the VIP seat, also stood up excitedly and asked loudly:
"Yes, I have the same doubts."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience began to discuss:
"Yes, we don't understand either. Who else can defeat our Second Young Master Wu?"
"I just can't believe that Second Young Master Wu can only rank third."
"The first place is Mr. Zheng, a close friend of mine, we can understand that, but... who else could be the second place?"
The host knew Wu Zifeng and Wu Changquan. They were members of the Wu family and she couldn't afford to offend them. However, she still replied calmly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone has doubts, let's let the second contestant come on stage first."
As soon as she finished speaking, the lighting engineer received instructions through the headset and shone a spotlight towards the entrance of the award ceremony stage.
Zhou Yi was still in the backstage, his mind was a little dazed, and he immediately heard Xiao Huang say to him:
"Zhou Yi, huh? You're going on stage!"
"Oh."
Zhou Yi was confused and followed the instructions and walked towards the stage.
Seeing Zhou Yi coming up, Wu Changquan was even more confused. The second place was actually Zhou Yi?
Is there anyone who is better than them?
Wu Changquan actually thought from the bottom of his heart that the reason why he ranked behind Zhou Yi today, besides the fact that his opponent’s strength was close to his, was probably because Zhou Yi had better luck than him:
After all, the two of them ended in a draw, and Zhou Yi was the last player, so he got one more point.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Changquan was originally just unwilling to give in.
However, now that he saw that Zhou Yi was only in second place, he felt even more devastated.
The audience was even more shocked:
This Zhou Yi is just a nobody.
Who could have imagined that his grades were higher than Wu Changquan's!
Zhou Luqi, in particular, felt as if he had been bitten by ants:
He knew Zhou Yi's results best. During the competition in Nancheng, the opponent was far behind him in points.
How is it possible that it suddenly ranked second?
One level higher than Wu Changquan?
Chairman Zhou also looked unhappy. Zhou Yi belonged to the side branch of their Zhou family.
Chairman Zhou has never liked him.
As a result, such a guy has now squeezed into the top three in the provincial competition.
This is a result that even those of them who have been playing chess professionally for generations cannot even imagine.
Lin Xi stood on the stage, watching Zhou Yi walk to the row in front of him, together with Wu Changquan, leaving a seat in the middle -
She bit her lip, feeling envious and unwilling towards Zhou Yi, a nobody who got second place.
The host passed the microphone to Zhou Yi and asked him to talk about his thoughts:
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yi, do you have anything to say about your second place?"
Zhou Yi just had a brief chat:
“I am very proud to be on this podium and I am very grateful to my master.
In addition, I want to say that we also have professional chess players in Nancheng..."
When he said this, Zhou Yi deliberately paused and looked at Wu Changquan meaningfully.
Many of the audience members still clearly remember that before the game, Wu Changquan had mocked Zhou Yi, saying, "Are there any chess players in Nancheng?"
As a result, now he is standing on the podium with a better result than Wu Changquan.
This slap in the face really hurts...
Wu Changquan's face turned pale, but it was a fact that he was ranked one place behind him.
However, Wu Changquan had a good attitude. Even at this point, he still said to the host:
"So, what about the first contestant? I want to know who is the first place?"
The audience also expressed their desire to know who was the first place.
The host knew how to warm up the audience at the right time. She held up the microphone and said with a smile:
"Since everyone wants to know who won first place, let's not hide it anymore. Next, let's invite the first place contestant to come on stage!"
As she finished her words, everyone's eyes naturally turned towards the backstage entrance.
However, after a while, no one showed up.
Just when everyone was confused...
Three spotlights then shot down from the award ceremony stage, converging into one focus and shining towards the audience seats below.
Lin Xi looked down along the spotlight, and suddenly, her heart skipped a beat...
