Chapter 290 Rigid
October 23, Zhenze City, Suhu Province, Meda Plaza Hotel.
The 2023 Changqi Cup Chinese Go Championship opened grandly this morning.
After the routine opening ceremony, the first round of competition will begin that afternoon.
Most of the players are preparing to go back to their rooms to rest and make final preparations for the afternoon game.
Lei Qi, who had just attended the opening ceremony, never liked to bother with other things and wanted to sneak back to his room quietly.
I didn’t expect that before I even took two steps, someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder from behind.
"Hey, Sao Nian! I didn't expect that Japan would be quite decent this time!"
With this hearty voice, Lei Qi knew it was a certain fast gun without having to guess... Ah, no, Fast chess player.
“Kuai Jiuduan, you have said so, I can’t let you down!”
Lei Qi turned his head and tried his best to match the other person's tone.
Hearing this, Kuai Liang grinned:
"Hey, that's cool! I told you that you are no worse than Rui Zhao!"
"Ah..."< br>
When the other party mentioned the name of the person he cared about, the young man didn't know how to answer the call.
But Kuai Liang continued talking to himself:
"But...you really have no interest in Zhaotianhou?
"You finished the game for two consecutive days and went straight to Zhaotianhou's place. All the reporters in the media are being ignored by you, and everyone feels that you have a crush on me! "
Lei Qi's expression, which was still smiling at the corner of his mouth, instantly dropped, and he said in a cold tone:
"Kuai Jiudan! Didn't you see that when Rui Zhao approached me about chess review, I refused without even thinking? !
"How could I be like this if I had any idea!"
"This is not easy to say!
"I heard that some little boys who like someone for the first time are so arrogant! He will deliberately pretend not to care to attract the attention of the people he likes..."
"...You are so arrogant! ”
Lei Qi, who had always behaved well, suddenly became a little hysterical, twisting his body to try and get rid of Kuai Liang’s arm.
However, Kuai Liang was well prepared and didn't let Lei Qi break away. The two immediately got into a ball and started fighting.
Just when Lei Qi was about to put in more force, a not-so-severe reprimand suddenly came from behind:
"Kuailiang, Lei Qi!
" This is a public place, don't make trouble! ”
It is the voice of Shang Chaotian, Chairman of the Chess Association!
When they realized something was wrong, they both immediately withdrew their arms and turned around to show respect.
"Chairman Shang!" >
“Be careful in public places from now on! Let’s all get ready for the game! ”
"Okay! Thank you, Chairman Shang!"
Seeing that Shang Chaotian didn't mean to say more, Lao Kuai reacted quickly.
In less than a second, the person had already slipped away, leaving Lei Qi alone.
This old guy is fast!
Lei Qi cursed secretly in his heart, but his face remained meticulous and he saluted Shang Chaotian slightly:
"Chairman Shang... Then I'm going to prepare for the competition."
Shang Chaotian is actually very familiar with Lei Qi's title.
Because since he began to officially serve in the Chess Association, he has always asked his three students to identify themselves by their titles in formal occasions to show the distinction between public and private affairs.
It’s just that he knows that the meaning of Lei Qi’s shouting “Chairman Shang” is actually different.
But at this time, he acted as if nothing had happened and just smiled and said:
"Go and work hard!
"By the way, Nongshim Cup...you performed very well!
"Especially the comeback of Xu Xiangheng's game, it was very exciting! The entire Chinese Go community is proud of you!"
The young man was slightly startled after hearing this, and his lips could not help but open slightly, as if thinking What to ask.
But in the end he pursed his lips and replied simply:
"...Thank you, I will continue to work hard in the second stage."
After saying that, Lei Qi bowed slightly, then turned and left the auditorium.
Shang Chaotian was speechless as he watched his former student gradually walk away.
Just as he was about to move, he heard a familiar young female voice next to him stop him:
"Chairman Shang!" Shang Chaotian glanced at his only female student out of the corner of his eye. Said softly:
"What's the matter? Yu Hong."
"Eh?"
Queen Mulan couldn't help but be startled when she heard the teacher's call.
Because in formal occasions, Shang Chaotian always calls her "Xiao Liu".
However, Xiao Xiaoniao couldn't care too much about these details at this time.
After a slight hesitation, she asked face to face a question that had been bothering her a lot recently.
"Chairman Shang. Recently, Xiaolei... stopped calling me Senior Sister, and instead called me...Sister Yu Hong.
"Do you know...what exactly happened? "
"...It's no big deal, it doesn't affect anything. ”
Shang Chaotian answered lightly:
“If I have to say it, it’s just that Xiaolei may have to work hard to adjust his condition for a while!
“This is not only a punishment for him, but also a punishment for me. of.
“Just do whatever you want with him, there’s no need to worry about anything else.”
Hearing this, Queen Liu naturally knew that Shang Chaotian didn’t mean to elaborate further, so she simply Answered:
"I understand, Chairman Shang.
"Then...I will prepare for the game first. "
Shang Chaotian blinked and said slightly:
"Yu Hong, from now on, if there is no one around outside, you should call me teacher. "
"Huh? ”
Liu Yuhong was stunned again:
"What are you...?"
"Ah, it's nothing!"
Shang Chaotian smiled:
"I just feel...
“In the past, I was probably too rigid.”
…
…
“I think the competition rules are still too rigid!
"Why did you come to the qualifiers, Rui Zhao? ! This is simply not fair! ”
At the same time, Border-Mongolia Autonomous Region, Erdo City.
This year’s Women’s Masters Qualifiers are being held here.
After an hour of competition, Luo Zishan, who had just turned fifteen years old, second dan, looked at the opponent in front of her with a confused look on her face.
The beautiful girl opposite her was very confused and had to ask awkwardly:
"No, it's not fair? Why?"
Luo Zishan was a little hysterical for a moment:
“Originally, I had a chance to enter this competition based on my ability, but it was unlucky enough that I had to compete in the first round, and I also got a draw that I was bound to lose!
< br>"You monster, who defeated three sets in a row in the Lakeside Cup, of course you should enter this tournament directly! What are you doing here competing with us little fishes and shrimps for a spot? "
"Strange, monster? ! ”
For this statement, a certain fool really didn’t expect it, and it was a big blow for a while.
Obviously I didn't do anything bad, I was just competing and playing chess according to the rules of the competition!
According to the rules of this Women’s Masters Tournament, there are a total of 32 players in this tournament. Among them, the top four in the previous tournament and the top 12 domestic women’s grades will directly enter this tournament (repetitions will be filled in backwards). The remaining players All are required to participate in pre-selection, there are no wild cards.
So, as the new first dan... no, the new second dan Queen Zhao Tianhou herself can only participate in the preliminaries honestly.
To be honest, the girl herself didn’t really want to participate in this qualifying competition.
Although Rui Zhao is always enthusiastic about competitions, the qualifiers for the women's competition...
It's just... basically at the same level as the new first stage...
Maybe it's even worse!
As a result, before I even complained, I was complained by my opponent first!
For this reason, the girl was not in a good mood all afternoon. Even when eating or doing life-and-death questions, the corners of his mouth are puffed out.
Of course.
As for the afternoon, the girl who was in a bad mood speed-passed another unlucky guy in a shorter time. This is another tragic story.
