At seven o'clock in the evening on July 8, Changchang County "Lake Shore Love" restaurant.
While the major Go forums were discussing Rui Zhao's victory today, a small congratulatory banquet was being held here.
The four main players of the Pohu team gathered together to congratulate the only female general in the team for being promoted to the seventh dan with an extremely exaggerated record. At the same time, we also take the opportunity of celebration to communicate and get to know each other.
After all, Du Weichen, Gu Chuxiong and Wei Zhenzhong are not from Pohu, and they all came directly from their respective places of residence for the opening ceremony of the siege. There was no time for good communication and acquaintance before.
However, the protagonist of today’s banquet was obviously not very interested and did not participate much in the conversation, so he joked:
"Second niece! Today you have achieved the two major achievements of 'Taiwanese women's first victory in Siege Champion' and 'promoted to seven in one year'. Why don't you look very happy!
"Do you blame me for not winning? Xiao Lei? "
"Ah! No no! "
Hearing Du Weichen's words, Rui Zhao quickly waved his hands and said:
"It's just...it's rare to be on the leading general stage, but I only met Liang Qiduan, I always feel a bit pity..."
Du Weichen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and warned:
"Hey! Don't say this to others!
"After Xiaoliang lost to you today, people like that look like It's almost broken, don't give him another fatal blow! "
"No, no! "
The girl answered very firmly.
"I, I have made a lot of progress in my interpersonal sophistication recently!
"In the post-match interview, I only said that the only reason I won was because Liang Qiduan was not in good condition today. In terms of strength, he should be stronger... ..."
There has been a lot of progress in being humane and sophisticated... Tsk, tsk, tsk!
When you were interviewed after the game, you almost had the word "disappointment" written on your face. How can I believe this!
Elder Du shook his head secretly in his heart. But now, he can only hope that the seventh section of Xiaoliang on the opposite side will not be hit too hard...
At this time, Gu Chuxiong on the side laughed and joked:
"However, it is really a pity for your victory in these two rounds, Rui Zhao.
"As long as the other three of us can win In the next set, we won’t still have zero points.
“My wife just sent a WeChat message to ridicule me, saying how come I am not as good as a little girl now!”
“Ah, no!
"It's just that my opponents in these two rounds just didn't perform very well."
Zhao Tianhou waved her hand again, and seemed to think of something, and continued to add:
"By the way, that... …
“Can you please help Gu Qiduan to say hello to Sister Haocheng on my behalf!
"I have been busy training for competitions since the Chinese New Year, and I have not visited to say hello. And it was only in the past two days that I found out about the relationship between you and Sister Haocheng... I'm so sorry!"
< br>
"Ouch! Why don't you be so polite!
"Last year in the women's siege, didn't you and Hao Cheng's team fight very hard? It's normal that we don't know each other very well! "
Gu Chuxiong smiled again and said:
"But...Hao Cheng has never mentioned me to you, can I understand?
"Pang Zeng...er, no, Zeng Guangwen never mentioned me to you before?"
"Brother Zeng?"
Rui Zhao was stunned for a moment, seemingly surprised:
"Gu Qiduan, are you familiar with Brother Zeng?"
"Hi! This fat man!
“Now I’m following you and becoming a live broadcast star, but you don’t even mention me as a poor brother!
"If I had known I would have gone to the live broadcast station to trouble him after we played chess today. It's a pity that I didn't look for him specifically because he looked so low on energy recently!"
Gu Chuxiong laughed and cursed a few words, and then Explained:
“He and I were in the same class! We’ve known each other since we entered the profession!
“We were in the same class who had gone quite far on the career path. There are five of them, and they all work together from the beginning. It doesn’t matter how good they are in the end, but at least they all stand firm and have a good relationship with each other! "
"Then...who are they? "Rui Zhao asked curiously.
Now faced with some off-site relationships in the circle, the girl is still willing to know more about them, so as to avoid the extremely embarrassing situation of "not knowing who Lao Lei's 9th-dan son is" again.
Gu Chuxiong, who was slightly drunk, immediately lifted his fingers and said:
“That’s five of them!
“Me, Dai Ran, Geng Zhizhen, Fatty Zeng, and the others ...Uh...uh..."
After thinking of this, Gu Chuxiong, who was still in good spirits, froze for a moment and fell silent, as if he had something to hide.
At this time, Elder Du also realized that something was wrong and was about to speak up. But who would have thought that Wei Zhenzhong on the side was a careless twenty-year-old young man. At this time, he didn't notice anything strange at all. He thought it was because Gu Chuxiong didn't remember it for a while, so he took over the words very "considerately":
"Finally That...I remember it was Bai Yinhua, right?"
"...Huh? Bai Yinhua 7th Stage?"
Hearing this, Rui was quite reserved. Zhao suddenly exclaimed slightly.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
Only then did Wei Zhenzhong suddenly realize: He shouldn't mention Bai Yinhua!
You must know that when Bai Qidan, the "professional chess scum", started to cause trouble, it was his own team's Queen Zhao who defeated him head-on and pinned him down, so Gu Chuxiong would avoid it. Talk to avoid having to step down.
And now that I have said this, isn’t it embarrassing for Gu Chuxiong!
But as soon as I say these words, the circle seems a little uneasy! The situation was very embarrassing for a while.
However, Gu Chuxiong did not embarrass his teammates when he saw this. After sighing, he took over the conversation:
"Ah...yes! Xiaowei, you are right to remind me!
"The last one...is Bai Yinhua, who has nothing to hide. "
After admitting it, Gu Qiduan hesitated again, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. Instead of looking for another topic, he opened the conversation and continued:
"The five of us were They were brothers who were determined to be in the same class in 2009, and their relationship was pretty good.
“Among them, Lao Geng and I were both sixteen or seventeen years old at the same time and had no future. I feel very satisfied until we have reached this point.
"But... Lao Dai, Fatty Zeng and Lao Hua should all achieve results!
" Among them, Lao Dai should be regarded as a successful person - he is also recognized as a genius boy, that is It's a pity that I came into contact with Go relatively late. I didn't start playing until I was eight years old, which delayed me a bit in Ding Duan. Otherwise, the achievement should be even higher.
“Fat Zeng was smart, but his attributes were too bad, and he had a lazy streak. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been promoted to seven and stopped there!
“As for the old man, Hua...is the most pity.
“Although he is less talented than Lao Dai and Fatty Zeng, he works hard and has a chance to become one of the top chess players.
"It's a pity that during the most critical years, I encountered some disputes with the Luhuai team, which affected my mentality. Not to mention the ups and downs in my grades, I even lost my girlfriend whom I had been dating for a long time. In the end... ugh!"
Speaking of this, Gu Chuxiong sighed again, his words full of helplessness, and then he added an ending in a somewhat haphazard way:
"At that time... things happened very suddenly, and he didn't have any regrets at all. Give us a few glimpses of the situation.
"And by the time we learned about the situation from the news, he had stopped responding to any messages or calls..."
At this time, Gu Chu Xiong suddenly paused. After a pause, something seemed to be brewing in his heart. After a few seconds, he spoke again:
"...Sorry Rui Zhao!
"Lao Hua's matter...has caused you trouble!
"Actually, I've been wanting to talk to you about this since I found out you joined our team. Since the time is right today, I'm here... to apologize to you on his behalf!" At this moment, Gu Chuxiong, who had already finished a bottle of beer, suddenly stood up and filled up a whole glass again. After paying homage to Rui Zhao, he drank it all in one gulp, very neatly.
“Ah, Gu Qiduan, you are serious!”
The girl also stood up and responded quickly:
"Actually... I have experienced some things in the past year or so.
"I think there is definitely something wrong with Bai Qiduan's methods. , but some of his views do make sense..."
"Some of his... views? ”
Gu Chuxiong couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Yes!"
Rui Zhao nodded and responded:
"After playing that game of chess, I went to Bai Qiduan to have a good chat.
“At that time, he talked to me about a lot of current issues in the industry and expressed his disappointment.
"The reason why he..."
"Okay! Second niece!"
Just when Rui Zhao was about to elaborate, Elder Du on the side interrupted without hesitation:
"Today is yours. He Yan, I’d better say more happy things!”
“Ah...
“I, I understand...”
Seeing that everyone in the team had said this, Rui Zhao did not continue to elaborate on what happened at that time.
But when she saw Gu Chuxiong’s rather complicated expression, the girl couldn’t help but added a few more words:
“But...although I couldn’t help with what happened before. To Bai Qi Duan. But I am actually trying to find ways to solve the problems he raised!
"My agent An An told me: As long as I can persist, I will achieve better results!" , will definitely attract more people to pay attention to Go! It will also allow more sponsors to invest in professional Go events!
"When the time comes, I believe Bai Qiduan will have changed the entire professional Go world! By then, you will definitely have a chance to reconcile as before!"
"Ah..."
Gu Chuxiong didn't seem to expect that Rui Zhao would say such a thing, and he looked quite surprised.
Du Weichen also had a surprised expression:
"Hey...are you serious?"
"Yeah!"
The girl nodded very seriously and vigorously this time.
However, after nodding, Rui Zhao may have felt that what he said was a bit loud, so he hurriedly rounded it off and said:
“Ah, of course...
"I'm just an ordinary female chess player. I don't know anything except playing chess. Maybe what I can do is very limited...
"But I feel that I can always do my best. I have saved my own strength, including the bonus for the past year, and plan to..."
"Okay, okay! I know what you mean!"
Just when Rui Zhao was about to elaborate on his plan, Elder Du couldn't help but interrupted him with a smile.
Immediately, he straightened his expression and said quite seriously:
"Second niece, don't belittle yourself!
"What you said... I think it is indeed okay. It has brought a lot of help to the development of the entire Go industry! ”
"Ah? Yes, really?"
Faced with this sudden recognition, Rui Zhao was obviously a little surprised.
"Of course, I won't lie to you."
Elder Du continued, and his usually recognizable glib tone seemed to have disappeared at this time.
“That’s right...just like what you just said: you have to continue to work hard and improve your results.
"For you, a big star who is out of the entertainment industry, as long as your performance can continue to improve, the attention drawn to Go will naturally continue to grow!
"It's a pity that guys like Lin Ruixin...
"Hey! Let's not talk about it for now! What if he suddenly comes to have a hard time like me before?"
"Yeah! Brother Du, don't worry! Sister An'an is also so friendly. That’s what I said!”
Rui Zhao nodded vigorously. It was always exciting for the girl to have her actions recognized by another senior.
But after she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, and then added:
"Well, Brother Du, why don't I go back to practice chess first? To be honest, I really think the dinner party is a waste of time...< br>
“Ah! It’s not that dinner parties are bad, but for me, I still prefer to spend my precious time practicing chess...”
As soon as these words came out, the three people at the scene looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. What.
...I say so, but you don’t have to be so active!
Du Weichen couldn't help but thought to himself.
But after getting in touch with her in the past few days, he also knew that his second niece was well-deserved for the title of "New Generation Volume King", so he probably felt uncomfortable keeping her here forcibly.
Elder Du sighed slightly, then waved his hand to let him go.
In less than ten seconds, the main character disappeared from the celebration banquet, leaving only three team members staring at each other. It was Du Weichen who finally broke the silence:
"...Okay! Let's continue eating!
"Of course, I won't stop anyone who wants to go back early and follow my second niece!"
Gu Chuxiong and Wei Zhenzhong looked at each other, and Wei Zhenzhong, who looked stunned, asked:
"Elder, what you just said to Rui Zhao...were you trying to coax her?"
"Why am I coaxing her!"
Du Weichen went to I put another large piece of beef in my bowl:
"On the contrary! It's been a long time since I, the elder, talked to my juniors so seriously!"
"...Huh?!"
Hearing this, Wei Zhenzhong's expression changed obviously :
"But aren't those words that you just said a little bit wrong? They all involve the 'Go career'..."
"Hey, Xiao Wei! People of your generation don't Understand..."
Du Weichen glanced at his No. 4 figure, and immediately shook his head slightly, relying on his old age:
"When our generation was still young...
"The word 'idol' is not You can survive by singing and dancing. "(End of this chapter)
