Chapter 215 Everyone longs for preference
The reason why Lei Qi suddenly advanced his schedule was because someone shared a latest video in a professional group.
This video is an interview Gao Yang gave to the media after his 2nd dan victory over Rui Zhao’s first dan in today’s national championship qualifiers.
In the interview, Gao Yang sneered at this up-and-comer, Xin Chu Duan, thinking that this little girl was just a mediocre girl with an embroidered pillow. He didn’t know why the Chess Association gave her so many resources and focused on her. He was the one who was really buried. Such potential masters.
Although Gao Yang is very annoying, Lei Qi, who was tired of being pushed by the mainstream media's recent coverage of the Wuyue Cup quarter-finals, found a rare psychological comfort in this video.
...Yes, she is just a new female anchor, how can she be so strong!
He comforted himself so much.
Although Lei Qi also learned about some things about Rui Zhao during this period, he thought that Rui Zhao did have a certain level and might have really passed his second level.
But... this is no longer important now.
He only knew that when he had already expressed to his teacher and father that he and Rui Zhao were either/or, even though his father had made a compromise, his teacher still seemed not to know!
Shang Chaotian is still extremely partial to this female anchor, and even withstands the huge pressure of public opinion that can be expected, giving this female anchor who has just been confirmed for less than a week a second Wuyue Cup wild card!
This is very difficult for Lei Qi to accept.
He thought he was quite sensible since he was a child. Even when he was only seven years old, his parents left him alone in Beijing to learn chess from his teacher Shang Chaotian for a long time. He worked hard and studied diligently all day long. That’s ten years.
In the past ten years, Lei Qi has never made any trouble for his teachers or senior fellow students. His grades are absolutely among the best among his peers. He can be said to be "someone else's student".
Even... the chess world recognizes him as the next generation leader of Chinese Go - it just depends on when the handover of power with Lin Ruixin will be completed.
Under such circumstances, I still continued to work hard on Go, and I always respected my teacher without being arrogant or impetuous.
A world champion, two national champions, three consecutive rookie champions, second in the domestic rankings, the youngest challenger for the title of [Chess Master]...
Even discerning people know that a single In terms of strength, I am afraid that I am already above Lin Ruixin, ranking first in China!
With such a performance at the age of seventeen, logically...it can be said to be somewhat decent, right? !
Should it be enough for parents and teachers to regard it as their greatest pride?
However...
Lei Qi discovered that he was wrong.
At least for the teacher, he was very wrong.
To be honest, when Rui Zhao got the second Wuyue Cup wild card, he wanted to question Shang Chaotian: Don't you understand what I mean?
But Lei Qi endured it, thinking that maybe he was just too good before, and Shang Chaotian hadn't fully realized the seriousness of the matter, so he endured it.
But today, he really couldn't bear it any longer.
Because at the end of Gao Yang’s interview video, there is also a video of some live game scenes.
Although reporters are not allowed to enter the competition venue, photography is still allowed to enter the competition venue to collect footage.
As a recently popular chess player, Rui Zhao is naturally the subject of close-up photos.
Then... Lei Qi was shocked.
"Flow".
Although this technique has not been properly named by Shang Chaotian, it definitely does not mean that it is not important.
I was able to start challenging the top at the age of seventeen, largely because of the blessing of this skill.
As a result...this female anchor can actually "flow"...
You know, "flow"...even senior sister Liu Yuhong can't!
He immediately dug out the video of the Wuyue Cup match that he had deliberately not paid attention to before and watched it carefully. As a result, he once again confirmed the fact that Rui Zhao could use "flow".
Although Lei Qi didn't know why the female anchor could master this skill so quickly, he couldn't help it at this time.
You even taught the other person "flow". Even Teacher Shang's own daughter can't get this kind of treatment, right? !
He wanted to go to Dajing and ask Shang Chaotian about the situation face to face, but at this moment he learned from Cai Shuang that Shang Chaotian had left for Bianzhou.
And the reason, now Cai Shuang feels that there is nothing to hide: it is because Rui Zhao, who was supposed to be resting in the hospital, actually appeared at the national championship qualifying site. Shang Chaotian was afraid that something might go wrong, so he decided to do it himself Leave early.
Ha, it's this female anchor again...
After learning about this, Lei Qi couldn't help but want to smile bitterly, but his stiff facial muscles didn't obey his orders at all. I have already shown such an attitude... but in the end I still feel that I am just in a mood for a moment and will get better after a while?
I will be an adult next month! Do you really still treat me like a child who can be manipulated at will? !
Lei Qi couldn't help clenching his fists, and his nails left red marks on his palms.
…
…
“Manager Shao, what do you want from me?”
July 27, Bianzhou City, Berman International Hotel, six o’clock in the evening Fifteen points.
Zou Yang, who had just finished competing in the second round of the national team qualifiers in the afternoon, called Shao Hui, the manager in charge of the Dongjiang Women's Team, after reading the WeChat message on his phone.
Shao Hui is a professional woman in her early forties. She has been responsible for the management and operation of the Dongjiang Women's Team in the past few years.
Hearing Zou Yang's call back, Shao Hui didn't say much and immediately asked eagerly:
"Yangyang! Xu Nanying came to see me today! Did she talk to you yesterday? Did you say that she probably won’t be able to participate in the 13th and 14th rounds?”
Xu Nanying, a South Korean second-level chess player, is fifteen years old and is the new foreign aid invited by the Dongjiang women’s team this season? Three sets.
In fact, according to Zou Yang’s expectations to the team management, he hopes to introduce stronger players.
However, strong female chess players are far rarer than male chess players, and this is the case in China, Korea and Ying.
So being able to introduce such a 15-year-old potential youngster is already the limit of the management team's operation.
However, even though Zou Yang was not so optimistic about this young foreign player at the beginning of his introduction, now that the 18th round of the Women's League is just over halfway, Xiao Nanying has still achieved good results.
Nine rounds of competition, six wins and three losses, much better than Gui Yi, a 17-year-old local girl from Dongjiang who only had eight wins and ten losses last year.
That’s right, it’s not enough to compete for the championship.
"Ah...Nanying came to see you so soon?"
Zouyang smiled and said:
"Yes, she called me yesterday.
“Originally, I wanted to discuss it with you after I return from participating in the national championship qualifiers in the past two days, but I didn’t expect Nan Ying to come to see you today.
“But there is nothing we can do! I didn’t expect that at this time of year, I would suddenly say that I would continue to hold that competition. I was shocked when I heard the insider information from Nan Ying yesterday.
< br>
"The little girl said she wanted to go back to participate in the preliminaries. That's human nature. After all, she has a strong sense of group honor."
Seeing Zou Yang's unhurried look, Shao Hui looked a little anxious:< br>
“No, Yangyang, this is not a human problem! You have to understand the situation!
“Our team is in a special situation now, and Gui Yina has made it clear that he will not do anything for us. The team played as a substitute.
“As soon as Xu Nanying returns, our three cars will have to open the sunroof for the two rounds of competition!
"Although the hope is still not high, it is rare to have a chance to win the championship this year! It would be a pity to fall short now!"
However, it is in sharp contrast to Shao Hui, who speaks eagerly. Unfortunately, Zou Yang's tone was extremely calm:
"Manager Shao, only opening two wheels of the sunroof is too little..."
"...Eh?"
< br>Shao Hui was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer. When he realized it, he just said it was Zou Yang's slip of the tongue.
She was just about to remind her when she heard the female celebrity continue:
“I will find a way to persuade Nanying later and let her lose all the subsequent rounds of the competition...”
“…Huh?!”
【Outside the book】
This month is another day of full attendance and no leave! Even though I have points, I haven’t changed my leave application form. Please praise me!
[Plot-related]
Well... I've been criticized, so I'd better delete it to avoid causing trouble to the bosses. Sorry.
