Chapter 360 Are Your Favors Valuable?
"What did you say?!"
Yu Zhong froze, his face turning even uglier.
Ever since he took charge of the ranking tournament, which ranking player didn't treat him with utmost respect upon meeting him?
Let alone someone like Ye Fan, saying such insubordinate words, not giving him any face at all.
For a moment, Yu Zhong's anger surfaced.
Especially being contradicted by a young player in front of his old buddy, in his view, it was utterly losing face, losing face all the way to grandma's house!
"You…"
"Are you going to speak or not?"
Ye Fan's light tone was extremely provocative, "If not, we're really leaving."
Yu Zhong: "…"
Too infuriating!
Seeing the situation wasn't right, Wang Qingyun quickly pulled Yu Zhong back, smiled kindly at Ye Fan, and got straight to the point: "Since little friend is so straightforward, then we'll speak directly."
"Your girlfriend Ning Xi is ranked thirtieth. We called you here this time to discuss with you, whether you can give up this ranking spot?"
Finally couldn't hold it in anymore?
Hearing this, Ye Fan's expression remained calm, only his eyes narrowed, "Oh? But why should we give it up?"
Wang Qingyun pointed at the young man behind him, said: "This is my grandson, Wang Heyang. Coincidentally, he happens to be ranked thirty-first, his tie-breaker points one point lower than Ning Xi."?
"Heyang hasn't succeeded in ranking for three consecutive years. This year is his last chance. If he still can't successfully rank this year, then he will completely lose the opportunity to participate in the ranking tournament. Hope you can understand, give up this ranking spot, I will definitely thank you generously!"
"I absolutely won't give it up!"
Ning Xi, already unhappy in her heart, finally couldn't hold back anymore, said clearly: "This ranking spot I earned through my own strength, why should I give it up?"
As soon as these words came out, both Wang Qingyun's and Yu Zhong's faces looked somewhat unpleasant.
Instead, Wang Heyang stared at Ning Xi with a cheeky grin, saying: "Beauty, you better give this spot to me, otherwise, my grandpa has plenty of ways…"
"Cough cough!"
Before Wang Heyang could finish speaking, Wang Qingyun coughed repeatedly, glaring and reprimanding: "What are you talking about? Shut up!"
Wang Heyang shrank his neck, didn't dare to make another sound.
Ning Xi's little finger slid across Ye Fan's palm, said inaudibly low: "Gege, let's go."
Ye Fan nodded, said lightly: "You heard it too, my girlfriend is unwilling to give up this spot, so let this matter end here."
"Hmph!"
Yu Zhong's gaze was like a torch, his body carrying an imposing aura, "Young man, better advise your girlfriend to give up this spot. She still has plenty of opportunities in the future. Giving up this spot, consider it as me owing you a favor."
"A favor?"
Hearing such self-righteous words, Ye Fan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. The next sentence he spoke made the atmosphere in the room drop to freezing point.
"Is your favor very valuable?"
"You…"
Just as Yu Zhong was about to flare up, Gu Ziyi, who had been acting like a transparent person all along, finally couldn't listen anymore. She walked out from behind Ye Fan, looking at Yu Zhong with a beaming smile, "I was wondering who it was? Turns out it's Grandpa Yu. Grandpa Yu really has such great prestige!"
Seeing the suddenly appearing Gu Ziyi, both Yu Zhong's and Wang Qingyun's faces abruptly changed, instantly sensing something wasn't right.
Wang Heyang froze. Of course he recognized Gu Ziyi; he had even pursued Gu Ziyi back then, unfortunately without success.
Yu Zhong's expression changed, tentatively inquired: "Ziyi, what is the relationship between these two and you?"
"These two…"
Just as Gu Ziyi wanted to state the truth, she noticed the secret glance Ye Fan gave her. The words that reached her lips were swallowed back down.
"Instructor-student relationship."
Yu Zhong felt greatly reassured in his heart. Compared to when facing Ye Fan, his attitude instantly did a 180-degree turn, his face piled high with smiles, "Ziyi ah, help me persuade these two, give up this ranking spot. Not only will we thank them generously, but we also guarantee Ning Xi can definitely successfully rank next year, how about that?"
Hearing this, Wang Qingyun instantly sensed something bad, but before he could say anything, he saw the playful look on Gu Ziyi's face.
"Oh? Grandpa Yu, how can the ranking tournament guarantee one hundred percent success?"
"Simple!"
Yu Zhong didn't sense anything wrong, said confidently: "Although we persons in charge cannot directly intervene in the running of the ranking tournament, changing the opponents is still possible. As long as Ning Xi gives up this year's ranking spot, when next year's ranking tournament comes, I'll arrange some relatively average level players for Ning Xi."
"This way, won't she be able to successfully rank!"
"Amazing!"
Gu Ziyi tutted, "Never thought, turns out the ranking tournament still has this kind of shady business . Seems like the Weiqi Institute has indeed been too lax. I feel it's necessary to reshuffle the positions of the persons in charge of the ranking tournament. What do you say, Grandpa Yu?"
Yu Zhong's face instantly stiffened. Only then did he realize what he had just said.
You should know, Gu Ziyi had Gu Yun standing behind her. With Gu Yun's status in the Weiqi Institute, if this matter was reported upwards, perhaps the Weiqi Institute would really replace the existing several persons in charge.
If this situation happened, then he wouldn't even have a place to cry!
Wang Qingyun smiled to smooth things over: "Ziyi, don't listen to Old Yu's nonsense. The rules and system of the ranking tournament are fair and just, it's fundamentally impossible for human intervention to occur."
Gu Ziyi smiled and nodded, didn't say anything.
Yu Zhong smiled awkwardly, proactively skipped this topic, his gaze returning to Ye Fan, said with a beaming smile: "Young man, as long as your girlfriend gives up this ranking spot, you will receive a large sum of money, how about it?"
Ye Fan glanced at Yu Zhong, asked lightly: "Finished speaking?"
Yu Zhong: ???
Ye Fan smiled slightly, "If you've finished speaking, then we'll take our leave."
With that said, gave Yu Zhong no chance to speak at all, pulled Ning Xi and turned to leave.
Yu Zhong froze, Wang Qingyun also looked completely surprised, the previously triumphant Wang Heyang looked completely sluggish.
Looking at this situation, they simply won't give it up…
"Grandpa, what do we do now?"
"Don't quarrel!"
Wang Qingyun glared at his grandson. Gu Ziyi was still here, this girl's identity was extremely sensitive, many words couldn't be spoken plainly in front of her.
Wang Heyang was unhappy now. Grandpa had guaranteed him just now that he would definitely get the ranking spot, spoke urgently: "Grandpa, think of a way!"
Gu Ziyi chuckled lightly continuously, her heart like a crystal clear, but her face wore a look of understanding nothing, said: "Since there's nothing else here, then I'll leave first."
With that said, turned and left.
As soon as Gu Ziyi left, Wang Qingyun's face instantly changed. He turned his head to stare furiously at his grandson, reprimanded: "In front of Gu Ziyi, couldn't you restrain yourself a bit?"
"The ranking tournament is run by the Weiqi Institute. If this kind of favoritism and fraudulence reaches the ears of the higher-ups, then I won't need to be this person in charge anymore. Don't have a brain at all!"
Others are screw over dad), but this kid directly upgraded,screw over grandpa!
