After rebirth, I was hugged and kissed by a crazy boss

"Qingqing, I think you have the strength to be a champion."

Tan Xuan's expression was very calm, as if he was not affected by Yan Qing's emotions at all.

"And after all these years, your competitive form is still very good, or even better. In fact—"

He said slowly,

"When you were very young, I told your father that you were very competitive. Even when facing chess players who were much older than you, you did not show any fear. Instead, you became even more motivated... This competitive spirit is the most important quality of a competitor, which is also the desire for the championship."

"Your father and I agree that you are a natural chess player."

"Go is also a sport. Although it is closer to physical labor, the challenge for chess players is no less than that for athletes."

"As the head coach of Xuansu Chess Club, I at least have some privileges."

Tan Xuan's smile was somewhat bitter.

"I will invite you to join the chess club directly without having to go through the Yixin Cup competition."

After he finished speaking, Yan Qing fell silent.

"Qingqing, playing chess is like being a person. Uncle Tan knows you well."

Tan Xuan knew that his words had touched her, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"Your personality won't allow you to escape from the battlefield. If you miss the opportunity, you will regret it for a long time in the future."

"..."

Yan Qing seemed to have made up his mind, he raised his head and looked at Tan Xuan,

"Uncle Tan, I appreciate your kindness. But I am no longer the Yan Qing of the past. I'm sorry I can't help you."

"why?"

For the first time, Tan Xuan showed a helpless expression.

"You love playing chess, don't you? I thought you would be very happy to have the opportunity to challenge masters from various countries and win honors."

Hearing this, Yan Qing snorted and laughed:

"Uncle Tan, if I hadn't checked the recent situation of Xuansu Chess Club in advance, I might have been fooled by you."

Tan Shun was stunned and could only smile bitterly:

"Yeah, Uncle Tan, I never thought that one day I would have to rely on deception to recruit people to the Xuansu Chess Club."

Yan Qing pursed her lips and looked at him steadily.

"Ye Shuyang and Lu Xinyi, why did they retire?"

And two were withdrawn at once.

This is simply unprecedented.

What’s even worse is that the Yixin Cup is only held every two years. Once these two people withdraw, the Xuansu Chess Club can’t even get enough participants.

All substitutes must be on the field to reach the required number of players.

If we wait another two years, it will be difficult to guarantee results in international competitions during this period.

No wonder Tan Xuan was eager to let Yan Qing join the society “without taking the test”.

"Them? One wants to study abroad, and the other is in a hurry..."

Tan Xuan took a sip of water, which seemed to help him suppress his annoyance.

"Although I am the head coach, I cannot hold him captive, right? I have to respect his wishes..."

Yan Qing blinked expressionlessly and asked calmly, "Really?"

“……”Tan Xuan also fell silent.

The rules for adults are very cruel, and passion often cannot change anything.

"Uncle Tan, I am very happy to play chess with you."

Yan Qing stood up from his seat.

"But that's all. Bye, if you have time, we can play online."

Having said that, he was about to leave.

"Qingqing, I really think you can have fun from this."

Tan Shun tried his best to keep her.

"Besides, you know, the treatment at Xuansu Chess Club is very good... I can try my best to meet your requirements as the head coach."

"Oh," Yan Qing couldn't help but turned around and laughed, "Uncle Tan, there are so many chess players trying their best to join the Xuansu Chess Club, why do you have to focus on me alone? Besides, violating the past rules and joining the club directly without passing the Yixin Cup is already outrageous enough... And you said you would help me improve my treatment? I don't understand you, I really don't understand you now."

Tan Jun lowered his head and hid the bitterness in his heart with a faint smile.

What can he do?

Ever since four years ago, when Yun Yue, the third daughter of the Yun family, used various means and strategies to "defeated" Yan Qing and Ren Shaoyu, whom he favored, one after another, the Xuansu Chess Club seemed to have gradually changed.

Originally, Tan Jun thought that even if there was a weak player in the chess club, it would not be a big problem - just don't arrange for her to participate in the competition.

But soon after, he was put under pressure and Yun Yue also got a place in the competition.

Although the situation is not optimistic, Tan Shun remains optimistic.

It’s okay to get a place in the competition. I’m just a substitute anyway. As long as I don’t play, it won’t cause any negative impact.

As it turns out, although Tan Xuan can see through the tricks on the chessboard, he is still too naive about the world and human nature.

He would never have thought that the two main players he trained, Ye Shuyang and Lu Xinyi, would apply for retirement at the same time.

Xuansu Chess Club was instantly in trouble.

Tan Shun tried his best to retain his disciples, but to no avail.

They were determined to quit the chess club;

If he does not approve, they will simply leave the team or even go on strike.

Things have come to this point, and Tan Jun understands that there is no point in keeping them.

So, the substitute came on.

As a result, Xuansu Chess Club's world ranking continued to decline, from first to fifth.

In the past, he could win more than ten medals every year, including championships in various competitions...but now, all his honors have been cut in half.

There is still some hope for the individual competition, but the team competition is a mess.

The withdrawal of Ye Shuyang and Lu Xinyi was also a big blow to other players in the chess club.

The second-rate seeds do not have the strength to replace them, but they have to shoulder the burden and are under tremendous pressure.

In recent years, successive defeats in various international competitions have also caused complaints within the chess club.

Many chess players began to consider quitting, and even the registration situation for the Yi Xin Cup was not satisfactory.

If this continues, let alone bringing glory to the country, it would be good enough if the company doesn't go bankrupt.

Under such heavy pressure, Tan Xuan's hair turned a lot whiter.

When he was in dire straits, Yan Qing's appearance seemed to give him a lifeline.

She is the perfect candidate.

First, Yan Qing is very strong. Even if she has never played Go since she was sixteen, Tan Jun is confident that he can make her a top player in a short period of time.

Second, he knew Yan Qing very well and they had been friends for many years... As long as he could persuade her with emotion and reason, he would definitely be able to win her back;

Third, and most importantly -

Yan Qing's backing seems to be very strong.

Otherwise, the anniversary celebration of University A would not have been possible so easily.

Tan Jun believes that allowing Yan Qing to join the society may help to check and balance Yun Yue.

Xuansu Chess Club...will eventually return to its former glory.
