Chapter 245 Help
“Sister An An!
“Shock but no danger! I won again this round! ”
Just when Lei Qi, who was far away in Dongjiang, had just confirmed Rui Zhao’s opponent for the next round, the girl who was finishing the competition at Dangchao City Sports Center had already trotted to her agent and made a small gesture. V word:
“I was really scared to death when I first started playing chess!
"After I played, I suddenly felt something was wrong when I was thinking about the opponent's response! Fortunately, the opponent didn't notice it either!"
"That's it...that's really lucky!"
Just now Ai Jianan, who had been filming the footage and not paying much attention to the chess game itself, answered casually.
Due to tight time constraints in blitz chess matches, even top players often miss calculations.
Even amateur chess players like Ai Jianan are used to the kind of mistakes Rui Zhao encountered in that game:
"...By the way, Xiao Zhaomiao. I just told the event officials that you will be interviewed by the officials at the venue just like you did at noon.
"Then when we were about to go out, the organizing committee We will open a small door for you, otherwise there will be a bunch of reporters at the main entrance waiting to block you who did not wait for Gao Yang at noon! "
"Huh? Rui Zhao tilted his head slightly: "Why do you want to block Gao Yang's second section?" "
"...
"Oh! Just forget it if you don't know. It's not an important matter."
After a while of silence, Ai Jianan sighed softly. I thought that if I didn’t know about some off-site chores, I might as well not know about them!
——There is no use knowing it anyway, it might affect her condition.
But just as Ai Jianan was preparing to take Rui Zhao to pack her things for an official interview, a young male voice suddenly came over.
“Ah... [Yizhao Qiyi]!
“This is really a chance for God to avenge my past humiliation! ”
Hearing this, both of them were startled, and then looked at the source of the sound at the same time.
I saw a young man about 1.7 meters tall, in his late twenties, with a very handsome figure, walking towards the two of them, with a cute smile on his face.
“I thought that I was in despair after playing the ‘Call Mom’s Name Game’ game. Maybe after two rounds, I have recovered some of my skills!
“You... ...You should already know who your opponent is in the next round, right? ”
Ai Jianan couldn’t help but be a little confused when she saw the person coming.
Who is this person?
Why did Xiao Zhaomiao’s nickname appear on the Yiguo platform?
On the other hand, Rui Zhao blinked and replied without warning:
"Well! I took a look and it should be the winner between Zeng Guangwen's 7th Dan and Guo Zicheng's 4th Dan!
“Ah...I still have to go and see if their game is over. ”
After hearing this, the smile of the rich young man in front of him suddenly froze, and he asked in disbelief:
"No...
"Aren't I already in front of you? You asked me if the game is over? "
"Huh? ”
Rui Zhao blinked and was dumbfounded for a long time before finally realizing the meaning of the rich young man’s words.
But even so, the delicate situation at this time is still not over.
Because I still have to choose one of the two!
In order to make the final confirmation, the girl had to say cautiously:
"I, I understand...
"But...are you Zeng Guangwen's 7th dan or Guo Zicheng's 4th dan? Duan? ”
At this time, the rich young man finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke his defense on the spot:
"I am Zeng Guangwen! Zeng Guangwen, who lost to you due to a mistake earlier!
"Back then you were promoted on the Yiguo platform. Duanqi players were all kinds of abuse, but they finally won the game from me and built up some confidence. As a result, my teacher even called me and scolded me.
"I know you, how can you not know me?!"
"Ah! You, you are Zeng Guangwen's seventh paragraph? No, I'm sorry!"
Rui Zhao's expression was very embarrassing, but he couldn't explain it, so he had to carefully apologize.
Of course, Rui Zhao cannot be blamed for this.
Although she has gained a lot of knowledge in the world of Go during this period, as a newcomer in the professional circle, she has not yet memorized everyone's appearance - even if she has The seven-dan appearance is very recognizable among chess players.
What's more, although Zeng Guangwen is a seven-dan chess player, he only serves as a substitute in the siege, so he rushes to the top when his own team does not have foreign aid.
In terms of chess ability alone, it is really a little transparent among high-level players.
Therefore, even though Rui Zhao had defeated Zeng Guangwen in a game and was deeply impressed by this name, he was still stunned when he saw the real person.
However, Zeng Guangwen remained unyielding:
“I played such a crucial game of chess with you, why don’t you recognize me?
“But Fan has a little respect for me. Understand it, but it’s not like I don’t understand it at all! "
"This..."
Rui Zhao didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She seldom pays attention to things other than Go, so she doesn't know about Zeng Guangwen's various situations outside the game - especially his appearance.
Seeing that Rui Zhao still couldn't give any reason, Zeng Qiduan finally became a little angry:
"Okay! I originally thought that even though you beat me last time, I was given the title of 'The Weakest in the Seventh Dan', but you are also considered a young talent, so if you lose, I will help you gain some confidence. Don’t know anything? !
"Just wait! It was only because I was careless last time that you attacked me!
"I will definitely let you understand tomorrow how powerful I am when I am serious! ”
After leaving these words, Zeng Guangwen walked away, leaving only a broad and thick back to the two of them.
Ai Jianan and Rui Zhao looked at each other for a while, and finally Ai Jian'an couldn't help but asked in confusion:
"So, Xiao Zhaomiao...
"Zeng Guangwen...who is it?"
"So Sister An An, you are less impressed than me!"
The silly and sweet girl rarely complained in a small way.
…
…
"What, what's going on?!
"Why am I stuck on a street light! ”
September 6, the second day of the 2023 Pinghu Quick Chess Tournament qualifiers, 8 o’clock in the morning.
Lei Qi, who had just entered Dangchao City by online car-hailing, looked at both sides of the road A streetlight billboard with a doubtful expression on his face
Forget it being placed on promotional materials together with that Rui Zhao...
What does it mean to be hung up on street lights and spread all over the city?
The young man couldn't help but bury his head in his hands.
He never expected that the organizer of this competition would be able to have such a good time...it made the online car-hailing driver glance at himself through the rearview mirror several times!
But now the deal is done, and it is useless to say more.
Fortunately, I had prepared a mask and sunglasses in advance this time...
Otherwise, how could I have the face to walk on the street!
…
Five minutes later, a man of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing sunglasses and a mask quickly walked into the lobby of Pinghu International Hotel.
"Um...I have a reservation with you."
"Okay! Sir, please show me your ID card."
"Yes."
Lei Qi handed over his ID card.
After confirming the operation quickly, the front desk staff first glanced at the boy who was wrapped up in front of him in surprise, and then replied with a wry smile:
"Lei Qi Sir, you have indeed reserved a room, but...it is too early to check in yet.”
"It's okay."
Lei Qi had naturally expected this result, and immediately took off his backpack and said.
"I'll just put my bag down at the front desk and go out right away. Wait until I come back at noon to officially check in."
"Ah, that's OK!"
The staff is busy Pick up the backpack and help Lei Qi store it.
And just as the young man relaxed his shoulders and was about to rush to Dangchao City Sports Center, he suddenly heard someone calling his name:
"Lei Qi? Why are you looking like this?!"
< br>...Huh?
Can anyone recognize me here?
The young man secretly screamed in pain. He turned around and looked around, only to find that the other person was Shan Gang 8th Dan, the coach and substitute player of Dongjiang Team in Weijia, whom he had known for a long time and whom he had often played against.
An acquaintance...no wonder.
Lei Qi quickly took off his sunglasses and mask and said hello.
“Ah, hello, Uncle Shan!
“Just...the promotion of this competition is a bit exaggerated, I just want to avoid the limelight a little bit. ”
Although Shan Gang is almost ten years younger than Lei Jingming, for Lei Qi, calling him uncle is never an exaggeration.
Shan Gang, like Lei Jingming, is also a player who is in very good condition at the age of 38.
Like last year's Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, he made it all the way through the preliminaries and finally entered the semi-finals, which was quite an upset. And he also entered this competition directly this year with his semi-final results last year.
Hearing these words, Shan Gang was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was saying and couldn’t help laughing:
“Oh, I understand, I understand!
“I heard Miss Rui Zhao was quite confused when she first found out about this, haha..."
"Is that so? Hahahaha..."
Lei Qi had no choice but to laugh twice, and at the same time he was already thinking about how to find excuses to escape.
However, Shan Gang spoke first:
"However, I heard your dad say before, didn't you just come tomorrow? Why did you come here so early today?"
"This..."
Lei Qi became more and more embarrassed, and his brain quickly began to remember the reason.
But before he could find the steps, Shan Gang suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization, winked at Lei Qi and said:
"Oh!
" Did you... come here specifically to watch Rui Zhao play chess? "
"Huh? ! ”
Lei Qi was shocked when he heard that the purpose of his early arrival was directly guessed by the other party.
This...how did Uncle Shan know about this? !
Dad should have told all the insiders about the entire inside story of this chess holy war not to be disclosed to the public!
Did...dad tell Uncle Shan about this? !
So he guessed the purpose of his coming early? !
Lei Qi became more and more confused. Just when he was about to think about how to test the opponent, Shan Gang continued:
"To be honest, after seeing the promotional materials for this Pinghu Quick Chess Tournament, many people I think you two are a good match! Haha..."
"..."
Lei Qi knew that his current expression must not be very good-looking.
But he still tried his best to smile and said:
"No, it's not that...
"I heard that Rui Zhao is the little princess of the Zhicheng Group. How can I reach such a high level? "
Shan Gang still had a smile on his face:
"Why are you being so modest!
"You have won the world championship at the age of seventeen and are recognized as the number one person in the future. Even Dakyo University has made you an offer. It is not surprising that you are attracted by any wealthy daughter! Why are you not worthy of Rui? Showed! ”
"Uh, I really don't mean that..."
Seeing that Shan Gang was still joking, Lei Qi made his expression and tone more serious:
"I'll come earlier this time. I'm just worried about annoying my parents at home, so I just plan to stay in the hotel for two days to prepare for the battle.
"And what you just said... it should be very troublesome for girls to hear. Right? "
"Uh..."
After thinking for a while, Shan Gang realized that his little joke would probably be annoying to the person involved:
"You're right! Let's not talk about it anymore."
Phew...
Lei Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
But just when Lei Qi thought he had gotten rid of this elder, he didn't want the other party to change the topic, but another topic came up:
"...But, since you have nothing to do these two days, can you do me a little favor?"
Qi De will officially start writing tomorrow, and the middle plot needs to be explained in the middle.
