Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 216: The Close Second Half of the Year
"Well, Chairman Shang, I'm already home, don't worry!"

July 7, 27pm. Bianzhou City, Boman International Hotel.

Shang Chaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the girl's voice reporting that she was safe coming from the speaker of his cell phone.

Today, he was halfway there when he learned that Rui Zhao had been eliminated by Gao Yang and had boarded the train back to Dongjiang. He was surprised but also felt a little relieved.

After all, this kid has a history of fainting from using "flow".

Although Rui Zhao had previously promised Shang Chaotian to strictly control the use of "flow", Shang Chaotian was still extremely worried when he learned that Rui Zhao had secretly come to participate in the national team preliminaries without even two days of rest, so he set off for Bianzhou City two days in advance.

Now that Shang Chaotian had confirmed that the girl was fine, he finally felt relieved.

"Well, it's good to be home!

"But don't sneak out like that next time! Do you know how worried your parents are? They almost bought a ticket and chased you all the way to Bianzhou!"

The girl felt aggrieved: "Ugh... I've already left them a note and sent them a WeChat message saying that it's okay..."

"Nonsense!"

Shang Chaotian directly reprimanded:

"You still have many competitions to participate in later! How can you not take good care of your body now!"

Rui Zhao thought about it and agreed with it very much. He listed them one by one:
"Hmm... you're right! I checked earlier and there are a lot of competitions to participate in in the second half of the year!

“There will be a new first-dan tournament in late August; there will be Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament qualifiers in September;
“In October, the Changqi Cup qualifiers and the Women’s Masters Tournament qualifiers; in November, the Dongjiang Jianqiao Cup and the Masters Tournament qualifiers;
"There are also the Mengli Lily Cup qualifiers and the Yixian Tournament qualifiers in December..."

Hearing this, Shang Chaotian was stunned for a moment and quickly called out:
"Wait a moment!
"Forget about participating in some of the unlimited competitions in the country...

"Are you also going to participate in the unlimited world competition of Yumeli Lily Cup?!"

The girl didn't realize there was anything wrong:
"Of course, this is a precious opportunity to participate! Of course we have to participate in all of them!
"After all... the feeling of competition and training is quite different."

Uh……

Shang Chaotian really couldn't refute what the girl said - because there is indeed a big difference between the feeling of pure training and actually participating in a competition.

This is why the LIG Cup in October is an overseas competition with few places available, and only the top 10 players in the ratings are eligible to participate in the selection. Otherwise, it is estimated that this chess idiot would have also rushed in!

Well...that's fine too!

It's always a good thing if children are willing to compare...

At worst, I can talk to Old Yu and Old Li and ask them to pay more attention to Rui Zhao's condition...

However, before Shang Chaotian could finish thinking, the girl suddenly remembered something and said regretfully:
"Ah... it's a pity that the Bay Area Women's Masters Tournament in December is an invitational tournament, so I can't participate..."

Well……

Why is this kid still worried about not being able to participate in the "Bay Area Women's Masters Competition"?

Hearing this, Shang Chaotian was speechless.

You should know that the Bay Area Masters Tournament is an invitational tournament hosted by the Pengze City Government in the Bay Area. All eight places are decided by the Chess Association and the Pengze City Government. (Pengze City is the main body, and the Chess Association provides auxiliary suggestions)

To put it simply: eight wild cards.

For such a competition, it is impossible not to invite the hot and beautiful new first-dan anchor Rui Zhao, who just played a world-famous game with the Ice Queen!
However, just as he was about to tell Rui Zhao about this, he swallowed the words back.

Forget it, I'd better tell him later... Otherwise the kid might get excited and cause some trouble again.

But...she has more competitions to participate in than just this!
But having talked about this, Shang Chaotian remembered something and asked tentatively:

"Um... Rui Zhao, if there are other competitions in the second half of the year, would you be willing to participate?"

"Ah! There's still a competition?!"

The girl's voice could be heard through the phone.

"Well, I'll participate! As long as the time doesn't conflict, I'm willing to participate!

"Just...are there any other competitions that I missed? I thought I included them all."

I just got the inside information from the South Korean Chess Institute, it would be strange if you knew it!

Shang Chaotian complained a little in his heart.

However, maybe he didn't expect it now.

Even he, the well-informed and powerful (only in the field of Go) chairman of the Go Association, had not yet listed all the girl's intensive schedule that would begin in the second half of the year...

"I guess you'll know in a few days, so let's wait for the official announcement."

"Ah...ok."

The girl didn't insist on asking further questions, but her tone was still full of excitement.

"This will give me another chance to gain experience before next year's Rookie of the Year competition."

Uh... when Shang Chaotian heard the three words "Rookie King", he got a headache again.

This kid hasn't forgotten his fight with Lin Ruixin? !

He was just about to have a good talk with Rui Zhao when he suddenly received a WeChat message on his phone.

[Dao Tu Jian Qi]: Teacher Shang, I have checked into the Berman International Hotel today. I want to bother you with something. Is it convenient for you?
Shang Chaotian, who had already spoken to Lei Jingming on the phone, narrowed his eyes when he saw this WeChat message. He then terminated the call with Rui Zhao and replied:
[Yong Chao Nan Tian]: Lei Qi, which room do you live in? I’ll come find you.

【The Dawn Sees a Divergence】: It’s okay, I’ll come over.

Seeing that the student insisted on doing so, Shang Chaotian did not insist. After sending the room number, he took a deep breath and thought about how to communicate with the student later.

...

...

At 7:30 a.m. on July 2023, the new "Zhicheng Cup China Go League A" was grandly opened at the Berman International Hotel in Bianzhou City.

As the sponsor of this Weiqi League, Qian Sitao, chairman of Zhicheng Group, came in person to speak at the event. He also took a photo with Sun Yi, the captain of the Suhu team, and it was obvious that he was in high spirits.

After the routine speeches, addresses, appearances, etc., this year's Weiqi League officially opened.

The opening ceremony in the morning is over, there will be a short break at noon, and the first round of this year's Weiqi League will be held in the afternoon.

"...Teacher, did Lei Qi come to see you the day before yesterday?"

After the opening ceremony, Cai Shuang, who was a member of the Dajing team together with Lei Qi, secretly pulled Shang Chaotian over and asked.

Shang Chaotian nodded and said simply:
"Have."

"How was your conversation with him? Did you not quarrel?"

"A fight?"

Shang Chaotian glanced at his oldest student and sighed:
“No, it was a calm chat and he was very polite.

"It's just a little... too polite."

Hearing this, Cai Shuang pursed his lips:
"How did you chat with him?"

"I told him all my reasons and difficulties, hoping that he could understand."

"And what did he say?"

Shang Chaotian's tone remained flat, as if he was not involved at all:

"He said he understood everything, saying this was his own problem and he knew it all.

"Then... he said he would continue to work hard and try to see if he could have better luck in two years and get the right to challenge the [Go Saint] again."

After hearing this, Cai Shuang was silent for a long time, and then asked cautiously:
"Teacher, I personally think that, forget about everything else... I think Lei Qi will find it very difficult to accept the concept of 'flow'."

"I didn't expect this little girl would be able to use it in just over a week!"

Shang Chaotian frowned, his tone full of helplessness.

"I originally thought that it would take at least six or seven years for Rui Zhao to really learn how to use it. What would have happened by then? It's even possible that he wouldn't be able to learn it in his entire life!
"As a result, ah... I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."

Cai Shuang thought about it, and then asked carefully: "Then... can you help Rui Zhao in a more secretive way? This way, Lei Qi will probably figure it out faster."

"How to hide?"

Shang Chaotian shrugged and said:
"The packaging and promotion strategy of Rui Zhao, the star anchor, is the business of the entire association. As long as the association is still promoting it, I can't get away from it."

Cai Shuang reminded with a little concern:

"But if Lei Qi can't change his mind right away, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your relationship with him to fully recover for a long time."

"Then you can't recover!"

Shang Chaotian sighed again:

"Why do you think I accepted you as my students? To serve me tea and water? Or to flatter myself?

"As long as he's still playing chess on behalf of China, nothing else matters."

Seeing that the teacher had already said this, Cai Shuang did not say anything more:
"I understand. Anyway... I'll pay more attention to guiding him in the future."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the first round of the 2023 Weiqi League ended.

Among them, in the match between Dajing Team and Pengze Team, Lei Qi, who participated in the official competition for the first time after the Chess Saint War, lost to Tang Guansheng in the middle game of his first Weiqi League main general battle.

The Dajing team also lost to the Pengze team with a total score of 2:2 (main player lost), suffering their first defeat of the season.
