Chapter 216 The Close Second Half of the Year
“Um, Chairman Shang, I’m already home, don’t worry!”
July 27, nine o’clock in the evening. Bianzhou Berman International Hotel.
Shang Chaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the girl's voice calling for safety from the speaker of his mobile phone.
Today, he was halfway there when he learned that Rui Zhao had been eliminated by Gao Yang and had already boarded the train back to Dongjiang. Although I was surprised, I felt a little relieved.
After all, this kid has a history of using "flow" to the point of fainting.
Although Rui Zhao had previously promised Shang Chaotian to strictly control the use of "flow", Shang Chaotian was still extremely worried when he learned that Rui Zhao had secretly come to participate in the national player preliminaries after two days of rest, so he Set off to Bianzhou City two days in advance.
Now that Shang Chaotian confirmed that everything was normal with the girl, a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
“Well, it’s good to be home!
“But don’t run out so sneakily next time! Do you know how worried your parents are? I almost had to buy a ticket and chased it to Bianzhou! ”
The girl was quite aggrieved: "Ugh... I've already left a note with them and sent them a WeChat message saying it's no problem..."
"Nonsense!"
Shang Chaotian reprimanded directly:
"You still have a lot of competitions to participate in later! How can you do it if you don't take good care of your body now!"
Rui Zhao thought about this and agreed very much, and listed them all in detail. ：
"Well... you are right! I looked before and there are many competitions that you can participate in in the second half of the year!
"There will be a new preliminary competition in late August; there will be a preliminary competition for Pinghu Quick Chess Competition in September;
>
"October, Changqi Cup qualifiers, Women's Masters Tournament qualifiers; November Dongjiang Jianqiao Cup, Masters Tournament qualifiers;
"In December, there are also Dream Lily Cup qualifiers and Yixian Tournament qualifiers... ..."
Hearing this, Shang Chaotian was stunned for a moment, and quickly shouted:
"Wait a moment!
"Forget it if you want to participate in some unrestricted domestic competitions...
"Do you also want to participate in the unrestricted world competition of the Dream Lily Cup? ? ”
The girl didn’t realize anything was wrong:
“Of course, this is a precious opportunity to participate!
"After all...the feeling of competition and training are very different."
Uh...
Shang Chaotian really can't refute what the girl said - because it is true that pure training and real The feeling of participating in the competition is still quite different.
This is the LIG Cup in October. Because it is a foreign competition, the number of places is small. Only the top 24 players with grade points are eligible to participate in the selection. Otherwise, it is estimated that 80% of the fools will be fooled!
Hmm...that's okay too!
It is always a good thing that children are willing to do more than others...
The best thing to do is to talk to Lao Yu Laoli more and let them pay more attention to Rui Zhao's condition...
However, it is not yet time to think about it. After that, the girl suddenly remembered something again and said regretfully:
"Ah...it's just a pity that the Bay Area Women's Masters Tournament in December is an invitational tournament, so I can't participate..."
Well... …
Why is this child still worried about not being able to participate in the "Bay Area Women's Masters Competition"!
Hearing this, Shang Chaotian was quite speechless.
You must know that the Bay Area Masters Tournament is an invitation-only competition sponsored by the Pengze Municipal Government of the Bay Area. All eight places are determined by the Chess Association and the Pengze Municipal Government. (Pengze City is the main player, with auxiliary suggestions from the Chess Association)
To put it simply: eight wild cards.
For such a competition, it is impossible not to invite the hot and beautiful new first-stage anchor Rui Zhao, who has just played a famous game with the Ice Queen!
But just as he was about to tell Rui Zhao about this, he swallowed the words again.
Forget it, let’s tell it later... lest the child stirs up trouble again when he gets excited.
On the contrary... there are more competitions she wants to participate in!
But after the conversation ended, Shang Chaotian thought of something and asked tentatively:
"Um... Rui Zhao, if there are other competitions in the second half of the year, would you like to Participate? ”
"Ah! There's still a competition?!"
The excitement in the girl's voice could be felt through the phone.
"Well, participate! As long as there is no conflict in time, I am willing to participate!
"That's it...are there any other competitions that I missed? I thought I counted them all without missing a single one. ”
I just got the inside information from the South Korean Chess Academy, it’s weird for you to know!
Shang Chaotian complained in his heart.
However, maybe he didn’t expect it now.
Even he, a well-informed and high-ranking chairman of the Chess Association (only in the field of Go), has not yet listed the girl's intensive schedule that will begin in the second half of the year...
"I guess you will know in a few days, so let's take the official notice as the standard."
"Ah...Okay."
The girl didn't insist on asking, but her tone was still full of excitement.
"This will give next year's Rookie King another chance to practice before the competition."
Uh... Hearing the words "Rookie King", Shang Chaotian had a headache for a while. stand up.
Have you not forgotten the fight with Lin Ruixin? !
He was just about to have a nice talk with Rui Zhao when his phone suddenly received a WeChat message.
[Differences along the way]: Teacher Shang, I have already checked in at the Berman International Hotel today, and I just want to disturb you for something. Is it convenient?
Shang Chaotian, who had already spoken to Lei Jingming on the phone in advance, could not help but squint his eyes when he saw this WeChat message. Then Xian Xian terminated the call with Rui Zhao, and then replied:
[Yongchao Nantian]: Lei Qi, which room do you live in? I will come find you.
[Divergence on the road]: It’s okay, I’ll come over.
Seeing that the student insisted on this, Shang Chaotian did not insist. After sending the room number, he took a deep breath and thought about how to communicate with the student later.
…
…
On July 30, at 9 a.m., the new "Zhicheng Cup·2023 China Go League A" was held in Bianzhou City Grand opening of Berman International Hotel.
As the sponsor of this siege, Qian Stao, chairman of Zhicheng Group, personally came to speak at the event platform and even took a photo with Suhu team captain Sun Yi. It was obvious that he was very interested.
After some routine speeches, speeches, appearances, etc., this year's Weijia League officially opened.
The opening ceremony in the morning is over, there will be a short break at noon, and the first round of this year's League One will be played in the afternoon.
"...Teacher, did Lei Qi come to see you the day before yesterday?"
After the opening ceremony, Cai Shuang, who is also a member of the Dajing team with Lei Qi, secretly pulled Shang Chaotian and asked road.
Shang Chaotian nodded and said simply:
"Yes."
"How was your chat with him...? Didn't you start a fight?"
"Are you having a fight?"
Shang Chaotian looked at his age. The oldest student glanced at him and sighed:
“No, we were very calm during the conversation, and he was very polite.
"It's just...too polite."
Hearing this, Cai Shuang pursed his lips:
"How did you...talk to him?"
< br>“I told him my reasons and difficulties, hoping he would understand.”
“Then how did he reply?”
Shang Chaotian's tone was still calm, as if he was not involved at all:
"He said he understood, saying that this time it was his own problem, and he knew it.
"Then ... He said that he will continue to work hard and try to see if he can have better luck in two years and get the right to challenge [Chess Master]. "
When Cai Shuang heard this, he was silent for a long time, and asked cautiously:
"Teacher, I personally think that everything else is forgotten...'Flow' Son, I guess it would be very difficult for Lei Qi to accept this. ”
"I didn't expect that this little girl would use it in just over a week!"
Shang Chaotian frowned, his tone full of helplessness.
"I originally said that it would take six or seven years until Rui Zhao can really learn how to use it, right? What will happen by then? It is not impossible that he will not be able to learn it in his whole life!
"The result, hey... I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. "
Cai Shuang thought for a while and then cautiously asked: "Then... can you help Rui Zhao a little more quietly in the future? This way I guess Lei Qi can figure it out faster. ”
"How to hide it?"
Shang Chaotian shrugged and said:
"The packaging and promotion strategy of Rui Zhao, a star anchor player, is a matter for the entire association. As long as the association is still promoting it, I will "
Cai Shuang reminded with some worry:
"But if Lei Qi can't turn around for a while, I'm afraid the relationship between you and him will last for a long time. It is difficult for a relationship to fully recover.”
"Then you can't recover!"
Shang Chaotian sighed again:
"Why do you think I accept you students? To serve me tea and water? Or to I am so old-fashioned?
"As long as he is still playing chess on behalf of China, everything else doesn't matter. ”
Seeing that the teacher’s words had reached this point, Cai Shuang said no more:
"I understand, anyway...I will pay more attention to enlightening him from now on."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
...
That afternoon , the first round of the 2023 Siege League ended.
Among them, in the match between the Dajing team and the Pengze team, Lei Qi, who participated in the official competition for the first time after the chess holy war, lost to Tang Guansheng in the middle of his first siege battle.
The Dajing team also lost to the Pengze team with a total score of 2:2 (the main player lost), suffering their first defeat of the season.
