Chapter 170 Apology


Chapter 170 Apology

July 13, Thursday.

Early this morning, the Chinese Go Association announced its decision to punish Lei Jingming Jiuduan:

Lei Jingming Jiuduan has been obviously excessive in public places recently, although it did not lead to serious consequences in the end. , but it has already caused negative social impact, so it was decided to impose a penalty of half a year's suspension on Lei Jingming's ninth-dan level.

However, Rui Zhao has not paid the slightest attention to this matter that day.

She never liked to know about things outside the game. It would be impossible to know the news released by the Chess Association early in the morning if no one told her.

Today she still came to the dojo to practice chess, and she was in a very happy mood:

Because her great teacher is back!

Lei Jingming contacted her at noon yesterday and said that he would come to the dojo to practice chess with her today.

In addition, after the chess practice in the afternoon, Lei Jingming also made an appointment through Rui Zhao to visit the Rui family, saying that he had good news to formally inform them.

But for Rui Zhao, it doesn't matter whether the news is good or bad.

As long as Lei Jingming comes back smoothly!

After all, she was actually worried that because of Lei Qi's incident, she would leave a bad impression on Teacher Lei.

But now it seems that what Chairman Shang said before leaving was not wrong!

Thinking of this, Rui Zhao's steps became more and more excited.

Although Rui Zhao has now reached a certain level, in order to facilitate training, she is still accustomed to living in a rental house next to the dojo, so she can go to the dojo very quickly.

Her main plan during this period is to practice chess while waiting to participate in official professional competitions--the first professional competition she can participate in will be the national championship qualifiers at the end of July. Now She has already signed up.

However, when she arrived at the dojo that day, she did not meet Lei Jingming first. Instead, she met another acquaintance whom she had not seen in the past two or three days:

"Cheng Yuyang! You are here today. ”

Seeing this tall and thin young man, Rui Zhao greeted him.

"Ah! Rui Zhao, good morning!"

Cheng Yuyang smiled and simply replied:

"Yes, I am here to collect the things in the dojo today! Enter After becoming a professional, I will start my own new journey.

"Hey, by the way, Rui Zhao, you...should be participating in the national championship preliminaries, right? ”

Rui Zhao nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"

"I knew it!"

Cheng Yuyang shook his head with a smile: These days, he can be regarded as Rui Zhao's stupid character. Got it all figured out.

"Then see you in the Central Plains Province! But during this period I have to start 'working'!

"In the past two days, Teacher Yu helped me make an appointment through his relationship I did some chess lectures and guidance.

"I also plan to start saving money: I will need travel expenses to participate in the qualifiers of various competitions!"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao suddenly understood the situation.

Originally, China’s five major title competitions and many other domestic competitions originally only invited the top 32 domestic players to participate, including the title holders (which is almost certainly included) or those who abstained. It is supplemented backward.

However, since the current team of Shang Chaotian and Lu Wenjie came to power, in order to improve the dilemma of low-level chess players who often have no competition to play, the title competition has been changed so that the top 16 in the level will directly enter this competition, and the remaining Sixteen places will be determined through a single-elimination qualifier.

The qualifiers for the National Players Tournament are open to all professional chess players, that is, as long as you have a rank, you can sign up to participate.

But in fact, among the more than 300 professional players currently active, only 40%, or about 100 people, will participate.

The reason... is also very simple.

There are no game fees, transportation or accommodation subsidies for the qualifiers (or there may be subsidies, but they are very small and cannot cover the cost of participation at all).

To put it bluntly, people arranged the venue and stage. If you like it, you can do it; if you don't, you will be pulled down.

This kind of "pay-to-play" model has made many weak and low-level players lose interest - anyway, the possibility of entering this competition is slim, so why waste this money?

Of course, for Rui Zhao, there is no need to hesitate in signing up.

Not to mention that her family is not short of money at all. The "City Cup" bonus of 96,000 after tax still has 16,000!

This is not even counting the income from the live broadcast that she has never seen - it seems that Ai Jian'an mentioned it once, but she didn't pay attention to the amount at all, and just said that it was all up to Ai Jian'an.

But for Cheng Yuyang, whose family background is not very good, losing money to participate in the competition really tests his love for Go and his determination to continue climbing.

You are obviously a professional chess player, but you have to pay money to compete in the competition...

Thinking of this, Rui Zhao suddenly understood better why Shang Chaotian was so determined to expand the number of core Go fans.

It is true that only if more people are willing to learn more about Go and pay attention to Go events and activities, will the ecology of the entire professional circle gradually improve.

Although the live broadcast cannot take any more time, since Chairman Shang has been promised, the live broadcast must also be done attentively!

Rui Zhao secretly made up his mind.

After chatting with Rui Zhao, Cheng Yuyang continued to pack his things inside.

When Rui Zhao was about to go to the classroom, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Rui Zhao! Congratulations on your decision! The sky has disappeared!"

Rui Zhao's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise: she is naturally familiar with Lei Jingming's voice.

Looking back, I saw that Lei Jingming still looked full of energy. It seemed that he was not affected much by Lei Qiqi's defeat in the Holy War.

"Teacher Lei! Long time no see!"

Rui Zhao said hello enthusiastically, then naturally thought of something in his mind, he couldn't help but lowered his head and asked:

"That...Lei Qi 9th Dan" He..."

Unexpectedly, before Rui Zhao finished asking, Lei Jingming frowned and said:

"Hey! Why do you, a little girl, worry about such a thing every day? ! Didn’t Teacher Yu tell you that it’s okay?

"It's you, Lin Ruixin, who dared to block the door and ask for a fight! Are your wings stiff? Come on, let me try you for two games!" Seeing Lei Jingming's open and closed game as usual, Rui Zhao's worries disappeared instantly. :

“Well, okay!”

On this day, Rui Zhao and Lei Jingming played a game of slow chess in the morning and afternoon. .

Rui Zhao lost by three and a half eyes in the morning set, but in the afternoon set... Rui Zhao won!

In the chaotic battle in the second half of the game, Rui Zhao withstood the test, grasped the key points keenly, and finally succeeded in biting the tail of Lei Jingming's big dragon and successfully came back.

This is not the first time that Rui Zhao won against his great teacher.

As the one with the highest chess skills among the three teachers and the one who values ​​this student the most, Lei Jingming has been Rui Zhao's main offline "chess partner" for a long time.

Although Lei Jingming is stronger than Rui Zhao in chess, he can't play so many games without making mistakes, so he still loses two or three games to Rui Zhao.

But this afternoon's game of chess, Lei Jingming was quite surprised.

Because in his opinion, his mistake was still not obvious - or in other words, the opportunity in front of Rui Zhao was not easy to seize.

But this time Rui Zhao actually succeeded in seizing this small opportunity and succeeded in making a comeback. This made Lei Jingming, who had lost the game, feel a little emotional:

"Hey! This is definitely the case. After finishing the paragraph, I feel like you, the little girl, have improved again!"

After being praised by the teacher, Rui Zhao was naturally smiling.

To be honest, Rui Zhao himself feels that his strength has improved a bit compared to before the fixed stage competition.

But, this has little to do with Lei Jingming - after all, she hasn't played much chess with Lei Jingming in the past half month.

There are two main reasons.

One is that after completing the final stage, the long-term inner demon was broken, which made Rui Zhao's confidence even higher.

On the other hand, these two days...

Hmm... isn't this a good idea to tell Teacher Lei?

The Go Hanhan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and decisively gave up the idea of ​​telling the truth to Lei Jingming, and changed his words:

"Hey! The main reason is that you teach well, Mr. Lei!"

"Haha! That's right!"

Hearing the student's compliment, Lei Jingming immediately expressed his approval.

But Rui Zhao didn't notice that his senior teacher's smile was slightly bitter at this moment.

After playing chess in the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxue had already driven and waited outside the dojo. The three of them drove directly to Wanyuan Times Community.

In the middle, the teacher and students were talking and laughing. Especially when talking about the scene when Lin Ruixin was forced to retreat by Rui Zhao, Lei Jingming was even more proud. Some people thought he had won a game with the current chairman of the Chess Association somewhere!

Soon, the car drove into Wanyuan Times Community and parked. Rui Zhao then took Lei Jingming and his wife directly to the door of their home.

Rui Guoquan and Li Xinyin, who had been notified by their daughter before, were already ready to welcome the guests. After the two sides met, they exchanged polite greetings for a while.

Rui Guoquan and his wife thanked Lei Jingming for his selfless guidance in the past two months. Lei Jingming and his wife kept praising Rui Zhao, making the host's daughter feel embarrassed.

Soon, the polite words were almost gone. As the (nominal) head of the family, Lei Jingming started talking when the time was right:

"Mr. Rui, Ms. Li, no Do you still remember what my wife told you about the Wuyue Cup wild card?”

“Ah!”

Hearing the other party suddenly mention this matter, Rui Guoquan couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Remember...I remember, but this is still too troublesome for your family.

"Since Zhaozhao has decided on the relationship, what step? Just take your time! Don't rush this moment. "

But Lei Jingming smiled and said:

"No, no, no! Good prospects like Rui Zhao are rare, so I think we should have more experience as early as possible - after all, she was determined a bit late!

"Well, Chairman Shang has promised me! This month's Wuyue Cup will give Rui Zhao a wild card, which will be officially announced tomorrow! Rui Zhao, you have to work hard too!"

" Ah? ”

Rui Zhao was overjoyed!

Originally, she felt a little regretful because of the lack of competition in the new first-level chess division. This suddenly told her that she could directly enter the Women's World Series and compete with the world's top female professional chess players. How unhappy this made her!

But besides being happy, she was also a little flattered:

"However, Teacher Lei, I am just a new junior player...Is it appropriate to enter this tournament directly?"

"What's inappropriate about this!

"Scare away the female chess player Lin Ruixin If none of them are suitable, then who is suitable? ! Right, Mr. Rui? "

"Ah! This is all well cultivated by you! Thank you, thank you so much! ”

Rui Guoquan and his wife were also overjoyed at this time.

When the two of them heard Qin Xiaoxue mention the wild card, they didn't think much of it.

For people like them, it’s common sense that anything the other party doesn’t say will never happen.

But I never thought that now Lei Jingming would actually do it!

My daughter is about to participate in the highest level women's Go tournament just half a month after her appointment. How could this not excite both of them!

But just when the couple was thinking about how to express their gratitude, Qin Xiaoxue changed the subject:

"You're welcome!

"Actually...this can be considered an apology from our family..."

"An apology? ”

Rui Guoquan couldn’t understand it all of a sudden.

At this time, Lei Jingming’s smile gradually faded and he slowly explained:

“Ah, that’s what happened:

“In the future, I may not be able to be Rui Zhao’s teacher anymore. ”
