Chapter 437: First Round Results
“I had heard about it before, but I didn’t quite believe it. I thought it was just a gimmick, or that the project was planned but never came to fruition. I didn’t expect Yucheng Village to do it right away.”

“Look at the scale of this project. This is a big project. Yucheng Village is very courageous.”

“It should be said that Boss Chen is courageous. Starting from a small pond, every decision he made was full of courage. And since he dared to set up a leisure tourism resort project, it was certainly not a joke.”

“If we can really build a sea, Yucheng Village will become famous all over the country.”

“We look forward to its completion and operation.”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and after learning about the projects in the fields, they were all surprised. It was obvious that they had not been to Yucheng Village recently, or had never heard of Yucheng Village at all.

Even if you have heard some rumors before, after hearing too many such gimmicks, you basically won’t take it seriously, let alone such a big project.

Just like the ship next door, it has not been completed for several years, the hull is rusted, and it is estimated that it will be wasted again. Therefore, the big project gimmick is not very anticipated unless it is actually put into operation.

But the sea-building project in Yucheng Village is in full swing. When asked about the construction period, they are striving to put it into operation next month. The shock and expectation were instantly maxed out.

In addition, the consumption of restaurants and snacks is the most considerable due to the huge flow of people.

The older people in the village all helped to run the stalls, but they were still overwhelmed and even felt like there wasn’t enough food.

There is also the dining area.

The tea shop has been busy since almost ten o’clock. Shu Mengyan and Liang Xueling both came to help. They were so busy that they felt like sparks were coming out of their hands.

“I thought there wouldn’t be many customers in Yucheng Village for today’s event, so I just planned to have a dinner with the fishing association in the evening. I didn’t expect it to be so popular at noon.”

Zhu Feng looked at the increasing number of people in the dining area, feeling bitter yet excited.

Last night the fishing association served Chinese food, and tonight they have arranged to serve hot pot skewers, so that athletes from all over the country can taste the special dishes of Sichuan Province.

So Zhu Feng and his friends came over to prepare the food, but it turned out that the food for dinner was not enough for lunch, which made them feel helpless but also a little excited.

Hurry up and ask the city to continue sending vegetables.

“Xiao Yuan, there are too many people in the dining area. The fishing association can only arrange meals at the competition venue.” Not only Zhu Feng and his team, but also the lunch area was equally busy. Tang Ying told Chen Yuan about the situation.

This side of the field.

The second game has ended and the third game is almost over. It is almost time to arrange the meal.

After Chen Yuan received Tang Ying’s call, he found Chen Jun and said, “Dad, go to the dining area and bring the lunch boxes over. We can have lunch here.”

“it is good.”

Chen Jun checked the time and responded, then went straight to the dining area with Chen Guo and the others.

Chen Yuan looked at the scene. Although many of the audience had dispersed, there were still many audiences on the scene, especially the green belts and leisure pavilions on both sides of the stage, and the leisure restaurant were crowded with people.

It is indeed difficult to arrange meals for the event staff.

“beep.”

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking about how to eat, the final whistle of the third game sounded on time, followed by the most tense last-minute fish segment.

Chen Ming and Huang Mao’s commentary was full of excitement, and the real-time game rankings were still flashing the final changes.

Immediately afterwards, the chief referee’s voice spread throughout the fish pond.

“The first round of elimination and promotion competition is over. Please put away your poles and wait in place. The referee team will quickly determine the results. If you have any objections, you can file a complaint with the arbitration committee within 15 minutes after the competition.”

It is very simple to determine the results of the competition, especially the crucian carp fishing competition. You only need to make sure the number is accurate and the results will not be wrong.

What’s more, the competition was synchronized in real time, and the referee team quickly determined the final results.

“I will now announce the list of athletes who have advanced to the finals. The rankings and results of all the athletes will be posted shortly.”

After determining the results, the chief referee announced the list of qualifiers on the spot.

As expected, in the Sichuan Province competition area, Wang Heng successfully advanced with a top five score, Zuo Xianwei ranked tenth, and then Xiaoyuwang ranked twenty-third.

The remaining team members were eliminated one after another, including two provincial fishing instructors Feng Jin and Gao Feiyang, as well as masters like Xiao Shanqing.

But it also achieved top 50 results in the country.

Compared with other athletes such as Xu Bai and Dongfang Qingyang, the gap to the final is not that big, so there is still hope for the future.

“I fished for more than two hours in three events, and caught thirteen fish in total, about one every ten minutes. So, my fishing skills are pretty good, right?”

After Ye Zhi sorted out his fishing gear, he took over the live broadcast from Jing Shanshan and showed off his achievements to the camera.

For a novice, such a harvest is already very good, even better than many anglers who fish frequently.

Such results are still very beneficial to the live broadcast of the event.

As for results.

Ye Zhi never thought that she could advance to the finals. Being able to enjoy fishing while working made her happier than advancing.

“The first round of the elimination and promotion competition of the National Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Championship has come to an end. We would like to congratulate the players who have advanced, and at the same time, we hope that the players who have not been eliminated can continue to work hard and have a dazzling performance in subsequent competitions.”

“Okay, the final will start on time at 1:30 pm. Thank you to all the audience friends for your support. See you at 1:30 pm.”

After the chief referee announced the results, the commentary in the commentary room ended, the big screen of the event went off, and all media and live broadcast equipment also stopped working.

Chen Yuan came to the stage, took the microphone from the chief referee, looked at the competition venue and said:
“Everyone, the morning competition is over, and it’s time to eat. I hope everyone can leave the venue in an orderly manner and continue to watch the final in the afternoon.”

“At the same time, we ask friends in the casual dining area to make room for the athletes to dine. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Although most of the spectators around the stadium had dispersed, there were still crowds of people. Fortunately, most of them were old customers of Yucheng Village, and there were staff around to maintain order, so there was no disturbance.

All exited in an orderly manner.

“Congratulations, Master Wang, for advancing to the finals with the fourth place. If you work hard this afternoon and are lucky enough to catch two more last-minute fish, you will definitely have a chance to enter the top three and compete for the championship.”

“You are not far away from the finals. Play well next time. I dare not say that you will get a national ranking, but there is still a great hope for you to advance to the finals.”

“Master Qi, the afternoon competition is up to you. You are the only one in our region who has advanced to the finals. You must stand on the podium to receive the awards.”

The athletes also began to leave the field, gathering in groups of three or five, either sighing or congratulating each other, and chatting about the game and the final in the afternoon.

“Little Leaf.”

Chen Yuan waved towards Ye Zhi. After the live broadcast ended, Huang Li and Jing Shanshan brought Ye Zhi to the stage, and the God of Wealth also went over to receive them.

There is no way. With Ye Zhi’s current influence, he naturally cannot be regarded as an ordinary athlete. Moreover, the competition is over now. If he really encounters any extreme fans, any unexpected situation is possible.

I feel much more at ease after receiving it.

“President, Sister Zhu, let’s go to the dining area over at Xiaotang for dinner.” After meeting Ye Zhi and the others, Chen Yuan greeted the president and the others.

“it is good.”

The president looked at the crowd slowly leaving the stadium and knew that the Yucheng Village dining area would be full today, and it would be difficult to get there, so he decided to eat at the stadium. The leadership group, including Ye Zhi, slowly headed to the dining area in Xiaotang. Chen Yuan did not follow them and arranged for the athletes here.

Although the leisure restaurant on the Datang side is spacious enough, it can only accommodate about a hundred people for dining under normal circumstances. With three or four hundred people in the whole venue, it is simply not enough, so they can only arrange more people in the leisure pavilion.

“Let’s just eat outside.”

Wang Heng pointed to a leisure pavilion.

The athletes from Sichuan Province all headed towards the leisure pavilion.

“The environment outside is nice, so let’s stay here too.”

There are also many other sports in the competition area that remain in the leisure pavilion.

Fortunately, many pavilions of different styles have been built in Datang, and they are equipped with tables and chairs, which can be used for daily rest or as a place for dining.

Each leisure pavilion can accommodate about eight people to rest or dine at the same time. More than a dozen such leisure pavilions of various types can accommodate more than a hundred people.

It’s enough to squeeze in with the casual restaurant.

“The lunch box set is here.”

As the athletes and staff entered the leisure pavilion and dining area one after another, Chen Jun, Chen Guo and others finally came over with their lunch boxes.

Under normal circumstances, the lunch boxes would have been delivered long ago, but today there were too many people, and it was the time when the crowd was dispersing, so it was difficult to ride down the tricycle, and people had to squeeze down with the lunch boxes.

Chen Dequan and several other fishing ground employees all ran over to help, or stayed in the leisure and dining area, or carried lunch boxes to distribute them to the leisure pavilion.

“Play well in the afternoon matches and try to go one step further.”

Chen Yuan was also distributing lunch boxes here. When he came to Wang Heng’s pavilion, he smiled and encouraged the other three contestants who had advanced.

“I don’t have high requirements, I just want to get into the top 16.” The little fish king said with a smile.

In this final that brings together the elite crucian carp anglers from across the country, it is extremely difficult to move up one place. Little Fish King was ranked 23rd in the elimination qualifying round. If he can make it into the top 16 in the final, it will definitely be a huge improvement.

“I’ll try my best to stay in the top ten.” Zuo Xian’ai stayed in the top ten, not trying to rush forward, but to stabilize himself first.

“The glory of Sichuan Province still depends on Master Wang.”

Gao Feiyang took the lunch box and said with a smile, and the other athletes from Sichuan Province echoed him.

Judging from last year’s competition, Wang Heng was only in the top five in the Sichuan Province competition area, but since the start of this year’s competition, Wang Heng’s performance has been outstanding.

They made rapid progress all the way, won championships in their respective divisions, and at the national finals of the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League, they took home both the team championship and the individual ranking championship, achieving the most dazzling result.

At this moment, in the first round of elimination and promotion of the National Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Tournament, Wang Heng is also the best performer in Sichuan Province, and very likely the most powerful challenger in Sichuan Province.

“Having played the game to this point, I will definitely try my best.” Wang Heng was very calm.

The final is a competition among the elites, and even he wouldn’t dare to make any bold claims that he would be able to make it to the top three and compete for the championship.

But it is already the final, so I will definitely try my best to get the best result. As for what the final result will be, I will accept it calmly.

“Fight well.”

After distributing the lunch boxes, Chen Yuan greeted them and went straight to the small pond.

Although the leisure and dining area in Xiaotang is limited in size, it seems spacious and comfortable when only the leadership group and Ye Zhi and his group are present.

“Boss Chen, how will the interactive session be arranged after the afternoon competition?” After lunch, Ye Zhi came to Chen Yuan and asked about the post-match interaction.

“It depends on what you think. I have a lot of old clients who have come to me and want your autograph.” Chen Yuan explained the situation, but did not force Ye Zhi.

“If we want to interact with you by signing autographs, it might take a long time.” Huang Li said.

Although I came directly to the stadium from Yucheng Village and did not see the number of people in Yucheng Village, judging from the crowds around the stadium, there were definitely quite a few.

Moreover, the post-match interactive session has been announced, and it is estimated that more people will come to the event towards the end of the match. If I want autographs, I am afraid I will have to wait until the evening.

Besides, this isn’t a signing event.

“How about we sing a couple of songs for interaction? We can sign autographs for other friends privately.” Ye Zhi suggested with a smile.

She is a singer, so live interaction focusing on singing is obviously better than a signing session, as it can reflect her strengths and liven up the atmosphere.

It’s more interesting than waiting in line for autographs.

“Okay, you decide.” Chen Yuan thought about it and felt that it was no problem.

He then contacted Li Yixiu to inquire about the situation of the B&B. Upon learning that there were still vacant rooms, Chen Yuan told Qin Fen that he could ask Peng Hongyu and others to come early.

Qin Fen and Xie Di were chatting with Peng Hongyu and the others at the moment, so Chen Yuan did not interrupt them. He waited for them to discuss the settlement plan first, which would be easier to confirm in the evening.

“Xiao Yuan, let’s go to the dining area first. It’s busy there right now and the catering department is a little short of staff.” Chen Jun came over and greeted Chen Yuan.

Chen Guo, Chen Dequan and others followed and prepared to go to the dining area to help.

“Okay, the afternoon game…” Chen Yuan responded.

“I’ve told Xu Bai and the others that they don’t have any games in the afternoon and will help maintain order.” Chen Jun said first, waving his hand as he walked out.

Chen Yuan waved his hand and said nothing more.

Although the afternoon events were important, the final was a competition between the top 32, with few athletes on the field, and the refereeing team was almost one-on-one.

The order in the stadium is relatively simple, and Xu Bai and the others are old friends, so it is no problem for them to help maintain order among the crowd in special circumstances.

“beep.”

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was almost half past one. The staff began to prepare, and the chief referee blew the whistle, and the sound echoed throughout the stadium.

“Please prepare to enter the venue, top 32 contestants.”

There are only 32 people in the final. Compared with the vast competition field, the number of people is not large, so the competition number cards are not too scattered, and the first 100 fishing position numbers are taken.

There is also a fishing spot between athletes to minimize the impact on each other.

They do not affect each other and the venues are relatively concentrated, which is conducive to live broadcast or viewing. Otherwise, it is easy to affect the viewing experience of the game if the venues are too concentrated.

“Come on, Master, win the championship.”

“Come on, President.”

The finalists went to the item room to draw lots one after another, and their familiar friends were encouraging them.

Soon, the contestants drew their competition number cards and went to their fishing spots to get ready. The referees came in to check and all the staff were in place.

Then, the chief referee announced the final rules.
