The next day, March 20, was the day before the finals of this year’s air-fan battle.
This is a rest day for competitions. Rui Zhao has no habit of sleeping in, so he still gets up early according to his usual schedule.
Although there was another "big news" just yesterday and she was reprimanded by Lu Wenji, the girl herself didn't pay much attention to it.
After a simple wash, I did some layout research before breakfast, making full use of the time to improve myself.
But at this moment, there was a sudden and rapid knock on the door:
"Sister Rui Zhao!
"Something big happened! Sister Rui Zhao! "
It's Hua Ran's voice!
Hearing that his assistant looked very anxious, Rui Zhao was surprised and immediately stood up and went to open the door.
Open the door. Finally, I saw Hua Ran waiting in front of the door. His breathing was rapid and his chest was heaving. It was obvious that he had been running all the way.
"Ran Ran, what's wrong?"
Rui Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Hua Ran stabilized his breathing and then said:
"Sister Rui Zhao! Have you seen the news about you on the Internet?"
"My News?”
The girl tilted her head:
"Ah, are you talking about me advertising for myself..."
"That's not it!"
Hua Ran's tone became more intense He was so anxious that he interrupted his employer:
“Last night, some information came out!
"It's about you!"
"My...information?"
Rui Zhao had a confused expression on his face, becoming increasingly confused.
…
…
"Shindo, that information came out... did it happen last night?"
At the same time, at the gate of the Japanese Chess Academy.
Natsukawa Aoi, a Japanese girl who had already been eliminated by Rui Zhao in the quarterfinals of Shan Kong Battle, came to the chess academy early today.
What was waiting for her at the door was the talker in Japanese chess hands - Shindo Hiroaki.
“Yes, at eleven or twelve o’clock in the evening.”
Hiroaki Shindo, who was waiting for her, immediately responded and walked towards the chess academy with his old friend.
"Hey! By the way, the efficiency of our media is really high!"
Xia Chuankui couldn't help but sigh:
"The news came out almost early in the morning, but today My boyfriend asked me about this when he got up in the morning!"
"No way, Rui Zhaoben is in the news right now."
Shindo Hiroaki kept walking and his tone remained calm.
“Before the start of the game, she was one of the key points of the chess academy’s promotion of this event. As a result, she performed extremely well in this game, beating Sakurai, Uesaka, you and Zou Yang, and entered the finals! Attention The rising tide lifts all boats even more!
“Forget it, she even made some remarks in an interview with Chinese domestic media yesterday, further sparking discussion.
“We all suspected that it was because the popularity was so high that the media further increased their efforts to collect gossip news, and then this matter was revealed...”
“ Hey, that’s expected! ”
Xia Chuan sighed softly:
“There were so many people involved that time, weren’t we mentally prepared for the news to be revealed?”
“The main thing is... The times are not good.”
Hiroaki Shindo shook his head:
“Rui Zhao’s discussion in the country is at its peak. Now that this information has been exposed, the pressure from public opinion on the chess academy is very high. !
"And Aoi, I'm afraid you will also..."
"...It's okay, you can still eat me."
The female streamer Honinbo responded simply, without seeming to have any extraneous thoughts. worry.
Soon, under the guidance of Shindo Hiroaki, the two arrived at a small conference room in the corner of the chess courtyard.
The only people sitting in the conference room were Yahiko Kobayashi, the chairman of the chess academy, Takuya Ichijo, the holder of the title of [Chess Saint], and Toraichiro Ueno, the holder of the title of [Celebrity]. Coupled with the former No. 1 person Shindo Hiroaki and the female streamer Honinbo herself, this was the core planning team of the original "Shoutinhou Response Plan".
After a brief greeting, the two of them found a seat and sat down.
Kobayashi Yahiko did not offer polite greetings as Japanese people are accustomed to, and asked Xia Chuankui directly:
"Natsu Chuan, you already know the specific situation, right?"
"Yes. I heard that the original information has been spread all over the Internet, and the online media in the three countries are making a fuss."
Natsukawa Aoi briefly stated what she knew about the situation, and then asked:
"Do you know... where exactly it was leaked from?"
Hiroaki Shindo on the side continued. Said:
“To be honest... I’m not very clear about the specifics.
“At around ten o’clock last night, a domestic sports media suddenly released an exclusive news report on the Lakeside Cup at that time. In the last game of the second stage, we mobilized most of the chess academy to conduct targeted research on Rui Zhao's live video.
"At the same time, that news article also comes with all the electronic files of our research data on Rui Zhao. It can be said that everyone gets the stolen goods.
"As for the specific source, the other party only said that it came from 'internal sources', not willing to disclose.
"Although we quickly used multiple channels to get the other party to delete the download link this morning, the information has been spread on the Internet!
"Now...a lot of chess fans Call the chess academy and ask the chess academy for a positive reply. ”
“I don’t think there’s anything to reply to…”
Xia Chuankui interjected:
"Is there any rule that you can't ask other people to study the opponent's chess players before the game?"
"Xia Chuan...that's what he said.
“But after all, after you won Rui Zhao, the chess academy used the opportunity to promote it. But now it is known that it was a collective effort to put up such a big show against a Chinese rookie who was only in the second level at the time and barely win half an eye... Some chess fans really can't accept it. "
"Can't you just deny it? ”
Xia Chuankui asked again.
Hiroaki Shindo shook his head:
"It's not good..."
"There are too many people involved this time, and I'm afraid I can't cover it up by denying it. "
"That's it...I understand. ”
Xia Chuankui closed his eyes and thought for a while, and did not dwell on the specific details. Instead, he continued to ask:
"Then...how does the Chess Academy plan to explain to the outside world now?"
Kobayashi Yahiko was silent for a few seconds. , then slowly said:
"Xia Chuan, that's it.
"This matter... I'm afraid the Chess Academy must get out of it.
"Otherwise, the opponent was just a second-level rookie who had been fixed for half a year, and it was really shameful to force our entire chess academy to mobilize forces like this.
"I just discussed this matter with Shindo. I can only help him carry it. "
Speaking of this, Xiaolin turned his eyes to Shindo Hiroaki, and the Japanese Throne naturally took over the conversation:
"Yes. I will completely memorize this matter and say that I especially want to help my old friend.
"It just so happened that I had paid a lot of attention to this new star in China before, and collected a lot of her video information, so under the guise of the chess academy, I mobilized some juniors and friends in the chess academy to help analyze it. In response, this is the origin of that information - this should be enough to cope with it
"It's just that according to this public relations method... Xia Chuan, even so, you will definitely still have some pressure from public opinion."
"There will inevitably be some gossip in the country, saying that if it weren't for my help, you would have won 80% of the Lakeside Cup." Lose..."
"I'm fine, just ignore it. "
Xia Chuan deserves to be very decisive.
"And... isn't this basically the truth?
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to find the Chess Academy to ask for help."
After Xia Chuankui's words fell, the entire conference room fell into a subtle silence.
Finally, Yahiko Kobayashi cleared his throat and continued:
"Okay, that's it! When talking about this matter to the outside world in the future, please use the same tone.
< br>"The rest...
"I can only hope that tonight's final guessing ceremony and media meeting will not embarrass us too much in China!"
