The spotlight was focused on a woman wearing a haze blue plaid skirt. She had earplugs in her ears, a pen in her hand, and was writing something on a piece of paper with her head down.

She looks like a lady from a noble family.

Lin Xi's fingers suddenly tightened:

It can't be her. How could she be the first place?

However, no matter how many excuses she came up with in her mind, she couldn't deceive herself.

Daiyu, who was hiding in the crowd and doing her homework, was inexplicably illuminated by the strong beam of light. She raised her head slightly and glanced at the podium.

Even the experienced host couldn't help but hold his breath at this sight.

Ah ah ah ah ah……

What kind of divine beauty is this? Was it a fairy who just looked at me?

The audience below the stage also followed Daiyu's gaze and looked towards the stage, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Some viewers have been discussing privately:

"Didn't they say that the first place winner was Mr. Zheng, a close friend of mine?"

"So... the spotlight is on the wrong spot?"

……

The host lowered his head and glanced at the list of winners again. After taking a breath, he finally spoke respectfully to the audience:

"Ms. Lin Daiyu, aren't you going to go on stage?"

Daiyu was a little confused. She originally thought that she was just here to sit in the audience and wait for her money.

After hearing the host ask her this, she slowly took off her headphones and walked towards the stage. The spotlight was on her the whole time, like a morning star in the dark night.

Originally, Wang Meihua could not see Daiyu from where she was sitting.

Now, as she stood up, she could finally see clearly.

She was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She just kept her mouth wide open the whole time, and her eyes followed Daiyu closely.

When Daiyu walked onto the stage, the etiquette lady had already brought out three trophies and certificates and followed her to the front of the stage.

"Next, please invite Mr. Zheng to present the trophy to the winner."

Mr. Zheng, full of energy, walked towards the stage at a rapid pace.

The host made a joke to Daiyu:

"Ms. Lin, I heard that you had already left the competition. So, what made you come back?"

At this moment, two spotlights shone on Mr. Zheng who was catching up quickly and Daiyu who was standing on the stage.

Wu Zifeng, who was in the audience, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this scene:

At the beginning, he also learned from the host that the first place was his old friend Zheng.

However, whether in terms of gender or age, Daiyu does not look like the type of person that Zheng and Mr. Zheng would be close to regardless of age difference.

The host's question was obviously asking the question that all the audience wanted to know most.

The host has already handed the microphone to Daiyu, waiting for her to tell everyone about her friendship with Mr. Zheng that was formed because of chess.

At this time, Mr. Zheng had already walked onto the stage.

Last time, in South City, he and Zhu Shiquan and others held an encouragement ceremony.

This time, I thought of trying a different way and just thought of giving her the award yesterday.

Mr. Zheng also looked at Daiyu expectantly, wanting to hear words that would move him.

Daiyu just took the microphone from the host and asked:

"Oh, will our bonus be credited to our account immediately?"

From the tone of his voice, he seems to be quite anxious...

Mr. Zheng: ...

host:????

Audience:!!!!

Wait, is this the time to talk about money?

The host coughed dryly, and then asked:

"We know that you must have put in a lot of effort and hard work to win the first place in the provincial chess professional competition. Next, please let Ms. Lin talk about your acceptance speech."

Logically speaking, the host has made it so clear, and Daiyu will definitely prepare an official statement based on her words.

"So, after we finish talking about our thoughts, our bonus will be credited to our account, right?"

host:……

Is she going to be unemployed right where she is?

Mr. Zheng: Lin Meimei, Lin Meimei, you really came here for the bonus.

When Wu Changquan saw Lin Daiyu coming on stage, he was still confused:

When did this person come out?

When he saw that even the special guest presenter of the award, Mr. Zheng, was particularly polite to Daiyu, Wu Changquan was even more shocked.

After the award ceremony, as soon as Daiyu walked down from the stage, she stuffed all the trophies into He Shuirong's hands and opened her phone to check the transfer records.

After counting the account balance and confirming that the money had arrived, Daiyu finally felt relieved and followed He Shuirong towards the parking lot.

When Wu Zifeng saw Daiyu coming down, he also walked towards the parking lot with her.

Wang Meihua was still confused, but Lin Xi reacted and said to her:

"Aunt, should we follow Mr. Wu?"

Wang Meihua then took Lin Xi and followed Wu Zifeng towards the parking lot.

Daiyu walked to the intersection of the parking lot and waited for He Shuirong to drive over.

Wu Zifeng greeted her:

"Ms. Lin, wait a moment."

Daiyu looked back at Wu Zifeng with a somewhat impatient expression, and asked calmly:

"Is something wrong?"

Wu Zifeng said to her:

"Ms. Lin, I wonder what plans you have for your chess career in the future?"

Daiyu felt that this person's words were a little strange, so she replied:

"What does my plan have to do with you?"

Wu Zifeng stroked his chin and just smiled:

"If you are willing to become my disciple, I will take you to Japan to study chess. My family will pay for your training. This will be of great help to you in entering the world stage in the future."

He thought that his condition was quite good.

Although Japan is a small country, they migrated from China hundreds of years ago, and Chinese culture has a strong momentum of development.

There is no professional chess player in the country who does not yearn for the opportunity to study in Japan.

But the chance is too slim. In addition to requiring a recommendation from a professional chess teacher with Japanese certification, the fees are outrageously high, which directly discourages many chess players from playing.

When Lin Xi heard about further studies in Japan, jealousy was gnawing at her mind. She couldn't help but tighten her palms, and her lips were bitten with deep teeth marks.

Why did Lin Daiyu get this opportunity? She was clearly his defeated opponent, a girl born out of wedlock, and a poor student who should have been abandoned.

Daiyu only glanced at Wu Zifeng indifferently and refused:

"I'm sorry, I don't have that plan."

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Daiyu was indeed short-sighted.

When Wu Zifeng heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He had never met anyone with such poor vision.

"Ms. Lin, do you think that if you become Mr. Zheng's disciple, you will be able to have smooth sailing in the chess world?

Young man, you are still too naive.

He is an old-fashioned person who is conservative and has long rejected Japan's invitation for academic exchanges.

Besides... he doesn't have the funds..."

Daiyu's eyes passed Wu Zifeng and looked in the direction of Mr. Zheng. A group of people were surrounding him, and Mr. Zheng was walking with great difficulty.

A low-key black vehicle drove towards Daiyu and stopped steadily.

He Shuirong got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and saw Daiyu still looking not far away, so he looked over too.

Perhaps as if he had telepathy, Mr. Zheng quickly shook off the crowd and ran towards the vehicle. He suddenly opened the back seat with a look of shock on his face.

Looking at the special license plate of Beicheng, Wu Zifeng fell into deep thought, and he was unable to come back to his senses until the car drove away.
