Chapter 176: Reaching the semi-finals is a success!

"Boss! I'm taking Zhao..."

Rui Guoquan just walked in and greeted Qian Sitao after hearing his instructions, but before he could finish his words, he was a little embarrassed to find that there was another outsider in the office.

A young man was sitting opposite Qian Sitao. He looked good, but unfortunately his manners were obviously undisciplined. He was full of irritability, so he gave people the impression of a young man.

Rui Guoquan had seen this man before. He was the chess master of the time - Sun Yi.

"Ah! Mr. Qian! I'm sorry for being so rude. I didn't know you had a distinguished guest!

"Um... Hello, Sun Jiudan! Zhaozhao, call Grandpa Qian and your Senior Brother Sun!"

Rui Guoquan quickly changed his words and asked his daughter to say hello first.

"Hello, Grandpa Qian! Hello, Senior Brother Sun!"

"Ah! President Rui, hello, hello!"

Upon seeing this, Sun Yi quickly stood up and replied stiffly.

Qian Sitao couldn't help laughing when he saw this:
"Hey, Xiao Rui! Originally, Sun Yi was very close to me, and now he's Zhao Zhao's senior brother. Why are you being so reserved? We're all family!"

"Ah... I understand then, Boss!"

After hearing this, Rui Guoquan changed the title back.

Qian Sitao nodded and continued:
"Let me tell you, this time I called Sun Yi over to give him some more instructions.

"In the future, when our Zhao Zhao develops in the professional circle, let him, the title holder, help take care of him more - let alone calling them senior brothers and sisters, in my opinion, we are all family!
"Sun Yi, is everything okay?"

"Ah... that's for sure, that's for sure!"

Sun Yi replied quickly.

Although he was not very willing to agree in his heart:

How can I become good at Go if I hang out with these female players every day?

However, when Sun Yi was learning chess, Qian Sitao supported him with living expenses and the cost of hiring high-level professional chess players to play against him. All the money added up to 100,000 yuan - Sun Yi wrote down all of this.

For Sun Yi now, 100,000 yuan is not an exaggerated number. But he naturally understands how important 100,000 yuan was to him at that time!
So, even though he was not very willing in his heart, once Qian Sitao asked, Sun Yi agreed quickly - besides, she was indeed his junior sister.

Qian Sitao smiled slightly, then looked at Rui Guoquan.

"Xiao Rui, you've seen it too. From now on, Sun Yi will be one of us in this circle. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!
"But correspondingly, Sun Yi doesn't have any roots in Dongjiang, and I'm getting older.

"If there is anything this child doesn't understand in the future, you can help him out and lend a hand when necessary!

"You know, top masters like him are certainly smart, but sometimes they always lack experience in things outside the game, and their family didn't teach them much..."

Logically, after hearing his boss say this, Rui Guoquan should have said something polite like "How can I be old? You have been so energetic all these years" and then expressed his determination to agree.

But from Qian Sitao's entire reaction today, he could feel that his boss really seemed too lazy to be polite today.

Besides, this is indeed a matter of each taking what he needs...

Thinking of this, Rui Guoquan answered in a calm and serious tone:

"Boss, don't worry! This is Zhao Zhao's senior brother, and he is also a national player trained by our group. If there is really something wrong, there is no reason for me not to pay attention to it!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Qian Sitao smiled and nodded, putting an end to this topic for the time being.

"Oh! Oh, I almost forgot something!

"Zhao Zhao, I'm looking for something for you this morning. Are you ready?"

"Ah! Of course, Grandpa Qian!"

Rui Zhao quickly took out the long paper box he had brought with him and handed it to Qian Sitao respectfully. Then he added a sentence a little cautiously.

"My handwriting is not very good, please forgive me..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Qian Sitao was in a good mood after taking the paper box. He immediately opened the box, unfolded the rolled paper and took a look.

Qian Sitao's eyes quickly swept across the paper. His expression seemed to freeze for a moment, and then quickly recovered and praised: "The handwriting is quite neat! What's wrong with it! I'll frame it in my office later!"

Rui Zhao could see that she felt a little embarrassed about this, but didn't know what to say, so she could only nod with a slightly red face.

Qian Sitao rolled up the paper again and said casually:
"Zhao Zhao... Your teacher Lei's matter has not affected your recent preparations for the war, right?"

"what!"

Rui Zhao immediately bit his lips subconsciously, hesitated for a while and said:
"Recently, Senior Brother Sun has been helping me practice with him. It hasn't affected my training, but I just feel a little...uncomfortable..."

Hearing this, Qian Sitao was about to comfort him softly, but Rui Zhao suddenly changed the subject.

"But I think... as long as I can achieve good results in this Wu Yue Cup, there will be a turning point!"

This time Qian Sitao was at a loss:
"Zhao Zhao...what does this mean?"

"Ah, that..."

Rui Zhao suddenly became vague.

As a Go idiot, she had no other good ideas on how to win back Lei Jingming - after all, she was only good at Go.

However, after some hard thinking, Rui Zhao finally came up with an idea of ​​his own.

She had heard from Yu Qingguang that the reason why Lei Qi had a prejudice against her was because she had never achieved any results, so she became mentally unstable after losing two pieces to him, which led to her distrust of Lei Jingming and Shang Chaotian.

In that case... then as long as he can achieve enough results, Lei Qi should be able to understand Teacher Lei's decision to accept him as a student, right?
Rui Zhao thought so.

So, she has been training hard these days, trying to achieve good results in the Wu Yue Cup.

But when Qian Sitao asked her, she naturally couldn't tell the truth.

When Yu Qingguang explained the situation to her and Cheng Yuyang, he repeatedly reminded them not to reveal the specific details of Lei Qi's mental disorder to anyone else, so as to avoid further affecting Lei Qi.

So, the Go player hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out an answer:
"Before Mr. Lei left, he specifically told me to perform well in the Wu Yue Cup. He also said that this was my first official professional competition and I must not lose face for him."

"Is that so?" Qian Sitao nodded slightly: "That's good, you have ambition!

“Even if you are participating as a wild card, you should still have the intention of achieving good results!

"...Oh, by the way! Zhao Zhao, do you have a goal for this competition?"

Rui Zhao nodded vigorously:

"Grandpa Qian, yes!
“I think reaching the semi-finals in my first Wu Yue Cup tournament is a success!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the office suddenly became quiet.

The other three fell silent at the same time, not knowing how to express their opinions on Rui Zhao's goal.

The top four... This time, the competition will decide the top four!

It seems like you, a new first-dan, didn't even think about losing next week! Are you that reckless?

After several seconds, Qian Sitao finally couldn't help laughing:
"Hey, you are worthy of being Lei Jingming's ninth-level student!
"I definitely learned the lesson of 'having momentum'!"

Rui Zhao was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Qian, do you know this too?"

Qian Sitao snorted:
"Oh, you think I've been watching chess for years! How could I not know what Old Lei Jiudan said?

"But it's true, young people have to be sharp! I wanted to comfort you, but it seems I thought too much!

"Okay then, Zhaozhao, I won't delay your chess practice!

"Thank you for your chess record. I hope you can play more exciting chess than this in the Wu Yue Cup! Show the style of your teacher Lei in the past!"

"Ok!"

Rui Zhao nodded vigorously again.
