Chapter 527: On List of Celebrities Part 1

“I lost.” Xu Fang finally didn’t move anymore, and sighed helplessly, “I lost by a full eight moves.”

“You let me win.” Su Jing said calmly and did not speak anymore as there was no need to. In fact, Xu Fang didn’t lose by eight, but he lost by at least ten moves. Xu Fang is a Professional 6th Dan Master, so his Mental Arithmetic is naturally not bad. 

He calculated that no matter how he played, he would definitely lose, but he miscalculated the way Su Jing would win against him. Su Jing also hid a killer move in his formation. However, since Xu Fang didn’t see it, he didn’t plan to say it either. After all, this Xu Fang has good strength and a good attitude. He is a respectable opponent.

“Today was an eye-opener for me. As expected, there are many masters among the people.” Xu Fang sighed.

“I won with a certain element of luck, I may not be able to win the next round.” Su Jing smiled.

“Mr. Su is being too modest. Being too modest is just pride.” Xu Fang smiled. He is obviously not the type of person to take his loss too seriously and he spoke to Zheng Xiaoyun, “Sorry, I couldn’t win a game for you, I tried my best.”

“Teacher Xu has played very well, even if he lost, it is a glorious defeat.” Zheng Xiaoyun still knows the basic principles of being a human being, and this situation is obviously not Xu Fang’s fault, but the reason for his loss is that his opponent is too strong. He glanced at Su Jing and no one could tell how depressed he was.

“A’Jing, are you really the ‘Ten Steps to Scenery’ who is called ‘Internet Chess God’?” Murong Xian’er looked at Su Jing and asked with dazzling eyes. Almost everyone, including Wang Yan, Luo Chong, Gu Yun, and others looked at Su Jing.

“That’s right.” Su Jing nodded lightly as he didn’t intend to conceal it anymore. Many people had already guessed it so there is no point in concealing it anymore.

Although they had guessed it early and they were mentally prepared, many people were still amazed when they heard Su Jing admit that he is ‘Ten Steps to Scenery’ and the ‘Internet Chess God’. 

Those who initially lost to Su Jing and were feeling a little unwilling or even humiliated. At this moment, they were relieved. Losing to the ‘Internet Chess God’ is no injustice at all.

“Couldn’t you just tell us that you were the ‘Internet Chess God’ who cracked The Lüneburg Variation. You made us worry for nothing.” Gu Yun rolled his eyes.

“Do you think that it’s fun to see us believe that you wouldn’t win even though you knew that you would?” Li Xuan also exasperated.

Su Jing smiled without saying a word, thinking that it was you who didn’t ask so why should I open my mouth and say that I am the ‘Internet Chess God’? That would look too bad, right? Besides, if I suddenly said that I am the ‘Internet Chess God’ then would you even believe it? 

However, arguing with a woman is an unwise choice, so Su Jing chose to remain silent.

“It’s not Twelve O’Clock yet, is there anyone else to challenge?” Su Jing looked at the time and it was just after 11:30, there was still some time remaining. Zheng Xiaoyun shrugged helplessly, saying that he would not challenge. Qiu Yunjin and the Round-Faced Youth left the scene without anyone’s knowledge and stayed far away.

Others also expressed their desire to not challenge Su Jing. Although there is still some time, all the Go Players they can invite have come and lost. 

Besides, even Xu Fang who is a 6th Dan Go Player was defeated. How difficult it would be to invite a Go Player that surpasses Xu Fang who has the skill that surpasses the 6th Dan Go Player? Even if they invited someone, they may not win. 

The opponent in front of them is the ‘Internet Chess God’, who even cracked The Lüneburg Variation so who could fight against him.

As a result, Su Jing won a big victory firstly and won more than Two Million in prizes. Of course, he didn’t put the Two Million Yuan in his eyes. Pulling Zheng Xiaoyun aside, he talked about their bet and presented a confidentiality agreement.

“This confidentiality agreement is a bit problematic.” Zheng Xiaoyun frowned after reading the confidentiality agreement.

“What’s the problem?” Su Jing said flatly.

“It says here that Tao Zhong is no longer an employee of any other company during the time he does Research for your Company. Doesn’t this mean that he has to terminate the contract with my company first?” Zheng Xiaoyun said.

“Isn’t this a reasonable requirement? You should know that business secrets are sometimes blurred. The same can be said about Solar Cell Research. Knowledge is intersected. How can I ensure that he will not steal my research and use it in any other company? How can I ensure that he will not bring back my company’s secrets to you? Even if he doesn’t intend to do it, I’m afraid he will inadvertently bring the knowledge over. So, at the very least, it must be guaranteed that he will not be an employee of your company during this cooperation period. What are you worried about? There is no regulation above it. During the cooperation period, Tao Zhong can terminate the cooperation at any time he wants and return to your company.” Su Jing said.

“Yeah.” Zheng Xiaoyun groaned. What Su Jing had said is not unreasonable. The key is that he needs to trust Tao Zhong. The Zheng Family is kind to Tao Zhong, and Tao Zhong is also very loyal to the Zheng Family, how many big companies wanted to poach him towards their side but Tao Zhong didn’t even pay them any attention.

Besides, if others can actually poach Tao Zhong from their company, even if they don’t terminate the contract, they will pay at most some liquidated damages. 

Large companies poaching people will obviously help Tao Zhong in paying the liquidated damages. The liquidated damages are for the value of Tao Zhong which would be a piece of cake for large cooperations. 

So, if you think about it, it doesn’t seem to matter even if he temporarily cancel the contract. However, he faintly felt a little unease in his heart.

“So he can return to my company at any time, completely free?” Zheng Xiaoyun read the confidentiality agreement again and asked.

“Yes, you can even ask a lawyer to see it.” Su Jing nodded but he secretly smiled in his heart. If Tao Zhong came to my Research Institute then he won’t be going back! From the very beginning, Su Jing wanted to steal Tao Zhong completely, otherwise, the trade secrets would be difficult to guarantee. 

However, such words will naturally not be said. Chess Pieces must be moved step by step, and the play should not be rushed.

Zheng Xiaoyun was still feeling uneasy. He called the lawyer and sent the confidentiality agreement to him. The lawyer felt that the agreement itself was okay and Zheng Xiaoyun couldn’t go back and forth.
