...Wow!
Will the Spring Orchid Cup finals be broadcast live even on European and American TV media? !

April 4nd is the first game day of the three-game final of the 22th Spring Orchid Cup.

At 11:40 am, in a room of Hailing Hotel.

After watching the video that Ai Jianan forwarded on WeChat last night, Rui Zhao, who was about to go to the game room, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly and let out a small exclamation.

As Celebrity Tian Yuan couldn't help but continue scrolling down, text messages from Ai Jianan popped up one after another:

【Xiao Zhao, did you see it? 】

[The final of the Spring Orchid Cup is now being broadcast live in Europe and America! ]

【The popularity of Go is increasing all over the world, and you have made a great contribution to it! 】

[I am now preparing for the European and American amateur competitions in late June, including amateur competitions in Southeast Asia and Australia, which will also be officially announced at this Tongge Cup World Championships! ]

[So you can rest assured and just focus on the competition - there are many women and Go enthusiasts who regard you as an idol! ]

[Once the popularity accumulates a little more, we can officially announce our plan to enter the Olympics! ]

As his fingertips slid across the words on the screen, an indescribable warmth slowly flowed through Rui Zhao's heart.

Although the world's number one player has always believed that he has only done a small part in the promotion of Go, it was mainly due to Ai Jianan's busy running around.

But no matter what, seeing that his hard work had paid off, Rui Zhao's heart, which had always been as calm as still water, couldn't help but feel moved.

If...if Go can really be successfully included in the Olympics...

What would that mean?
This means that this ancient intellectual sport will truly break out of the barriers of East Asia and become an international project widely recognized by the world!
The rules of various competitions will become more standardized and unified, governments will invest resources to promote and popularize it, and more commercial sponsorship will flow in... The ecosystem of Go will be completely renewed!
More children, no matter where they are on the planet, can be exposed to the charm of Go.

South Korean Go will continue better, and even in China, which is currently developing the best, situations like Bai Yinhua's can be avoided as much as possible.

Rui Zhao took a deep breath and felt his chest filled with a heavy sense of satisfaction.

She felt so lucky.

She is lucky to have met such a capable and visionary agent like Ai Jianan, and she is lucky to have so many people around her who always support and help her.

From family, teachers, to senior brothers and sisters, teammates...even including other 9th-dan masters in the country who I don’t have a very close relationship with on weekdays!
Although they seemed to be of no help, Rui Zhao knew very well that it was precisely because of the existence of such a group of top chess players that the entire chess world could remain vibrant and keep moving forward.

of course……

If only they could try a little harder and focus more on themselves!
After all, they haven't been working hard enough recently!
Thinking of the recent series of boring crushing of domestic chess players, the current Chinese leader secretly gave some advice to the group of fermented bean curd players under his skirt.

If not... you can all work together to target me! Otherwise it would be a bit boring...

Ah!
Next time, let Brother Zeng help pass on a message to them! It was decided happily!
All right, Rui Zhao! Then let’s do our best in today’s game!

After simply calming herself down, she silently encouraged herself and her eyes became focused and stern again.

Rui Zhao straightened his collar and turned towards the door.

However, the moment she opened the door, she unexpectedly found that her opponent in the final was standing at her door, seemingly waiting for her.

"Lei Qi? Why are you here?" Rui Zhao asked in surprise.

"……nothing.

"I'm just trying to get a feel for my opponent in the finals. It's better to be prepared."

Lei Qi smiled and answered easily:

"finals……

"Are you ready?"

"Of course!"

Rui Zhao answered promptly and clearly, then tilted his head slightly, looking at Lei Qi with clear eyes and a hint of inquiry:
"Lei Qi, what do you think you are doing? You haven't watched my review yet, so it's useless for you to come here early!

"By the way, I feel like recently, Lei Qi, sometimes you come to see me with some ambiguous meanings...

"It was like this last time during the Spring Orchid Cup, and it's the same this time..."

"Ahhh! How, how could it be useless!
"Look at your condition, so you can be more confident in the competition later, okay!"

...

...

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to watch our show today. I am Yang Manjing from the Pohu team!
"Today, I will be a guest and also replace Sister Ranran as the female host!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Chu Jun from Team Pengze!"

Fifteen minutes later, in a corner of Hailing Hotel, in the live commentary room of [Go Xiaozhao], two young and familiar faces appeared in front of the camera - responsible for explaining today's game were Chu and Yang, a young couple who were recognized as dazzling.

Because there are so many people watching this game today, Ai Jianan discussed letting Chu Yang and his young couple come on stage to explain the finals for the sake of program effect, to further increase the popularity of the topic and achieve a more explosive effect! At the same time, he gave a very tempting offer.

To be honest, Queen Mulan initially intended to refuse this proposal - there was no "but the money they offered was too much".

First of all, the little witch thought about how her boyfriend was defeated in the quarterfinals again and had been a little depressed recently, so she probably wouldn't be in the mood.

Secondly, Yang Manjing, who has always been precocious and smart, also knew very well the reason why the other party wanted her and her couple to appear on the stage, but she did not want to use personal relationships as a commercial gimmick.

But what she never expected was that before she could open her mouth to refuse, when Xiao Chu Jiudan heard that he would be partnering with his girlfriend to compete, his eyes lit up instantly and he showed great interest!
He seemed to have completely forgotten the aggrieved look he had when he lost a few days ago. The warmth he felt from being able to commentate on the same stage with his girlfriend seemed to be able to instantly dispel the gloom of the tragic defeat in the World Championships!
Seeing that his little girl seemed to be indulged in the gentleness of life, Yang Manjing felt helpless and speechless.

... Could this be the legendary "Go Daji is actually me"? !

I am determined to break the prejudice that "Rui Zhao is just an isolated case" with my pure chess skills, and to crush the new generation of professional players in the men's chess world with my real strength!
No need for this weird hat, okay? !(End of this chapter)
