Chapter 483 The friendly match ends

The final of the second stage was in full swing. On the other side, the vehicles carrying the prizes for the competition also arrived outside the fishing park.

Chen Yuan went to receive it.

“Are these things placed over there on the stage?” The delivery man pointed towards the stage after taking the receipt.

“Well, put it on the stage. The award ceremony will be held after the competition is over.” Chen Yuan nodded.

“Good.”

The master was very active. He put down the receipt form, then lowered a cart, put various prizes on it, and then pulled it towards the stage.

Chen Yuan also helped with the unloading.

The prizes are rich.

There are a total of 32 medals, and the top 32 teams in the friendly match will receive cash prizes. Although the amount is not high, the number of awards far exceeds that of other competitions.

Of course, because it is a team award, the prize money is shared. For example, the championship prize is 200,000 yuan for the second-class competition, and the group shares it equally, which means each person gets 100,000 yuan.

In addition, there are various gift boxes, including fishing gear such as fishing rods and bait, or gifts with cultural characteristics, city brochures, etc.

This competition is to promote friendship, promote fishing sports and fitness, and promote sports, tourism and cultural publicity, so the prizes must be reflected.

Not only the top 32, but all the contestants will receive this kind of cultural gifts and special gift packages. However, the competition for other contestants has ended and they do not need to attend the award ceremony, so the gift boxes are distributed at the hotel.

“Thank you, Master.”

After a while, Chen Yuan and his team carried all the prizes to the edge of the stage. Chen Yuan clapped his hands, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it forward, saying thank you.

The master took it with both hands, thanked repeatedly as well, then said goodbye and left.

Time soon came to around six o’clock, and leaders arrived one after another. Chen Yuan received them one by one. At half past six, the president also arrived with the leaders of foreign fishing associations.

The competition is coming to an end and the award ceremony is about to begin, so these leaders will naturally attend.

“How was the tournament?”

Coming to the stage, the president looked at the competition field and asked Chen Yuan.

“Everything is going well. Now it is the second game of the second stage of the fourth round.” Chen Yuan talked about the competition.

“Wang Heng’s team failed to enter the finals?”

The president took a look at the real-time game situation and pointed at the position of Wang Heng’s group with some surprise, as if it was a pity that this group did not enter the final.

The main reason is that Wang Heng’s performance was too exciting. Starting from the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League, he won both the team competition and the individual ranking competition and made his mark.

The three events in the first category are even more full of ups and downs, with various reversals and decisive kills, making the competitions exciting and thrilling.

Without him in the final, the game seemed less exciting.

“The teammates Wang Heng was matched with were indeed slightly inferior, and their upper limit in team competitions was not high, but in the semi-finals, Wang Heng’s group and Deng Gang’s group met and fought all the way to the deciding game, which was equally exciting,” Chen Yuan explained with a smile.

The strength of Wang Heng’s teammates is probably at the level of the small fish king, which is indeed a gap from the level of Deng Gang, and even from Zuo Xian’er.

It was a very good result for the duo to make it to the final four, and in the semi-finals they dragged Deng Gang’s team, which had been ranked first since the start of the competition, into the deciding game, which was very exciting.

“duo~”

While chatting about the competition, Hao Wei blew the whistle to end the second game. The referee team quickly verified the results, and the commentator announced the results.

After two games, Wang Heng’s group lost two games in a row and the final result of the group was fourth. Yizhe’s group won the third place in this International Fishing Friendship.

As for the championship match between Deng Gang’s group and Hua Xin’s group, it was very intense. After two games, the score was one to one, and the game entered the final deciding game.

“The fourth place result is acceptable. It is a team competition after all.”

“Looking forward to the Masters match.”

“The Masters is the real top tournament.”

It can be seen from the comments in each live broadcast room that Wang Heng is indeed very popular among fans of the fishing competition. Even though he only got fourth place in the end, he still has countless audience support.

Moreover, friendly matches are not events that reflect individual strength. The team’s fourth place result can almost be attributed entirely to Wang Heng.

Of course, there are also people who support Deng Gang and Hua Xin.

“Who can break the championship drought?”

Both Deng Gang and Hua Xin were blocked by Wang Heng before and ultimately missed the championship. This time, without Wang Heng’s blockade, the two teams will meet in the finals, and one of them will definitely win the championship.

Wang Heng and Yi Zhe’s group packed up their equipment and left the stage to rest. Deng Gang and Hua Xin’s group went to Pool No. 3 to start the final decisive round.

When the time came to around 7:10, the association’s business bus brought the top 32 contestants to the fishing park to prepare for the award ceremony.

“How was the game?”

It did not affect the competition. When the athletes saw Wang Heng and others who had left the stage and were resting, they walked over there one after another and asked about the competition situation.

In addition to the players who were going to attend the award ceremony, there were also many athletes who came, especially domestic players, and even a lot of people came.

Occasionally, you can see one or two posters of Ye Zhi, and some people are holding Ye Zhi name tags and highlighters in their hands, as if they were going to a concert.

“President, is this arranged by the association?”

Chen Yuan looked at the crowd that kept pouring in and asked, looking at the posters and name tags, as well as the fluorescent pens in their hands, there was no need to guess why they came.

“The association did not make any deliberate arrangements, but the procedures of the International Fishing Friendly Tournament have been publicized long ago, and the event was also broadcast live, so there must be a lot of people who know the procedures.” The president shook his head and smiled.

“Someone is needed to maintain order.” Chen Yuan said.

This is also a good thing.

Although the crowd came because of Ye Zhi, and today happened to be the weekend, it was nice to go out for a walk after dinner and watch the stars in person, but at the same time it was also a promotion of fishing sports and fitness.

Let fishing be presented to more people.

However, attention should be paid to safety issues. Although the fishing park is spacious enough, you should still be careful if more and more people gather, after all, there are three ponds here.

“I’ll make arrangements.”

The president waved to President Shao. The competition was still going on, so the staff definitely couldn’t go to maintain order, so they could only let the association staff from the capital take over.

After the event is over, the staff will take over.

Chen Yuan looked at the growing crowd and sent a message to Ye Zhi.

With President Shao leading people to maintain order, the growing crowd did not enter the venue and affected the event. Soon, waves of excited cheers were heard from the entrance of the fishing park.

Then I saw the crowd rushing towards the entrance.

President Shao and his colleagues acted as temporary staff to maintain order and were directly submerged in the crowd. Fortunately, they surrounded Ye Zhi and the other two girls so they were not hit by the crowd.

“President, I’ll go over and take a look.” Chen Yuan said to the president, then went towards the entrance.

He was still worried about Ye Zhi’s safety. After all, there were no professional maintenance personnel on site, and the fans were so enthusiastic that if they swarmed over, it would be bad if a collision occurred.

Wang Heng and the others also followed.

“Whenever we invite Ye Zhi to participate in a competition in the future, we must ensure safety and order.” The president looked over there and said to the leaders of the fishing associations around him.

Cooperating with Ye Zhi did help boost fishing competitions with the help of Ye Zhi’s fame, but when inviting participants to participate, it is not just a matter of reception, safety and order must also be taken into consideration.

“Ok.”

The leaders of the surrounding fishing associations nodded in greeting and then went over there to help maintain order.

Due to the broadcast of the singer, Ye Zhi’s popularity has indeed increased. She signed autographs in the crowd for a long time and was unable to get out smoothly. Until the end of the competition, the commentator and Hao Wei announced that Deng Gang’s team won the championship, and Ye Zhi and his team were still surrounded by the crowd.

The referee team and other staff quickly came over to assist.

“Thank you very much for your love and support, but the fishing competition has ended and the award ceremony is about to begin. I hope everyone will not affect the progress of the competition.”

Ye Zhi, with an apologetic look on his face, finally came to the stage, with Chen Yuan, President Shao and other staff maintaining order.

The rest of the tournament team maintained order.

On the stage side, due to manpower constraints, the president personally arranged the leadership seats.

“I guess we need to sing a few songs tonight. When will your tickets be shipped?” After taking Ye Zhi to sit down, Chen Yuan asked in a low voice.

“A little after eleven at night.”

That is not bad.

There is still plenty of time, so it’s no problem to sing two songs. If the flight is after 10 o’clock, then we must finish it according to the normal process.

Next is the award ceremony.

Starting from the top 32, when each group went on stage to receive their awards, wonderful footage of the athletes competing would appear on the big screen, which was very exciting to watch.

Even the crowd who came for Ye Zhi were excited, especially since the higher the ranking, the more exciting the fishing scene. Even those who didn’t like fishing felt that fishing was so interesting.

After all, these wonderful scenes are of catching fish and raising the rod, and fighting with huge fish. This is the essence of fishing. Fishermen like it, and people who watch it like it too.

“I didn’t expect fishing could be so much fun.”

“No wonder Ye Zhi likes fishing.”

“I’ll try it tomorrow when I’m free.”

“You think fishing is fun because there are bites everywhere. If you wait for a long time without a bite, it would be weird.”

“Fishing is a sport that tests your patience. If you don’t have that kind of patience, who would go fishing?”

“I don’t care. I want to join the fishing sport and be on the same stage with Ye Zhi next time.”

The people around watched the wonderful scenes of the award-winning contestants and developed a strong interest in fishing. And there was Ye Zhi, maybe one day they could be on the same stage together.

The staff who were maintaining order also smiled as they listened to the voices of the crowd.

Whether it is for Ye Zhi or because you like fishing, at least the sport of fishing is indeed attracting more and more attention, and its influence is pouring into the crowd.

“The next step is everyone’s favorite part.”

Perhaps because of the influx of the crowd, the award ceremony started much faster than expected. Just after eight o’clock, Li Shiyi invited Ye Zhi to the stage.

The crowd instantly became excited.

This is indeed the part they look forward to and like.

“Clap clap.”

At eight o’clock in the evening in summer, when the sky is just getting dark, as the stage lights and street lights are turned on, the entire fishing park is instantly filled with a concert atmosphere.

The scene was bustling with excitement.

“The friendly match is over. Those who want to go back to the hotel for dinner and rest can go back first.”

The stage was left to Ye Zhi, and the president and his team arranged the personnel for the competition.

The leadership group withdrew first, but the other competition team members basically did not return. The staff still had to maintain order, and most of the athletes came to see Ye Zhi.

Even the foreign contestants, although some of them could not understand Chinese, danced happily to the rhythm of the music.

“Ye Zhi is here?”

After confirming that everyone had returned to the hotel, the president looked at Chen Yuan and asked.

“President, you guys go ahead and do your work first. I’ll send them to the airport after we’re done here.” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll leave this to you to arrange.”

The president patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder, looked at Ye Zhi who was singing and interacting, and left without saying hello, taking a group of leaders with him.

Only the event staff were left on the scene to maintain the atmosphere, and the excitement in the venue was just like a summer scene.

If we had known it would be so popular, many small vendors would have come to the fishing park in advance to prepare.

“Sister Li, are you hungry? Do you want to order something to eat first?”

After Chen Yuan sent the leaders outside, he returned to the stage and came to Li Shiyi to ask questions.

“Let’s go back to the hotel and eat later. We can’t eat it even if the food is delivered now.” Li Shiyi looked at the scene and shook her head.

The staff were maintaining order, the event screens and live broadcast accounts were still in operation, and even the TV station staff had their equipment confiscated.

Everyone was busy, including Wang Heng and many others who were helping to maintain the scene, so they really couldn’t have a meal.

Just wait for the interaction to end.

Originally, Ye Zhi and her friends planned to sing two songs and end the interaction after half an hour, but the crowd was so large and the fans were so enthusiastic that the interaction didn’t end until after nine o’clock.

“call.”

Handing the microphone to Li Shiyi, Ye Zhi was so tired that he wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed out.

Jing Shanshan next to him was very dedicated. When she saw Ye Zhi leave, she was about to offer water, but was grabbed by Huang Li because Chen Yuan had already handed it forward.

“Fortunately.”

“It’s okay, just a little hot.”

Ye Zhi took the water bottle with a smile, unscrewed it, and drank a few gulps.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the airport first.”

Chen Yuan took Ye Zhi and the others out of the fishing park, leaving the rest of the work to Li Shiyi and the others.

“The association has arranged a driver, or we can go there by ourselves. You should go back to the hotel and have dinner.” Ye Zhi suggested letting the association’s driver take them there.

After all, Chen Yuan has been busy since the afternoon until now and has not had time to eat. If he goes to the airport first and then returns, dinner will probably become a midnight snack.

“It won’t take a little while.” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

This is just the beginning. When I was working hard in this area in my previous life, my diet was basically irregular. It was common for me to miss a meal or even have one meal instead of two.

When they arrived at the airport, Ye Zhi got out of the car and asked Chen Yuan to wait for a moment, and bought some bread and water for him.

In other words, there was not enough time, otherwise Ye Zhi would definitely drag Chen Yuan to eat first.

“Play well, and we’ll come back to Yucheng Village to play again when we have time.” Chen Yuan took the bread and water with a smile, waved goodbye to Ye Zhi, and also waved to Huang Li and Jing Shanshan.

“Definitely.”

Ye Zhi smiled and nodded, then said with concern: “Eat something first, then go back and have some food, and rest early after a busy day.”

“Ah.”

Chen Yuan nodded and opened the bread on the spot.
