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

Chapter 234: Lessons from the Assassination Team
"…Doctor He, this is the situation."

At the same time, in Dajing City, in He Ming's private clinic.

Shang Chaotian finished telling the whole story and then looked at He Ming carefully.

After hearing this, He Ming blinked his eyes, with no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

This subtle atmosphere lasted for a few seconds. Just as Shang Chaotian tried to ask a question, He Ming finally responded:

"Well, it's like this, Chairman Shang. I'm a straightforward person and don't like to say polite words every day. Please don't mind it too much!"

Hearing He Ming's "disclaimer", Shang Chaotian's heart sank slightly, and then he quickly responded:
"It's okay, just say it."

He Ming raised his eyes and glanced at Shang Chaotian, then said slowly:

“To be honest, your student’s situation, in my opinion, although it’s not right… it’s very normal.

"It's so normal that it seems abnormal if he doesn't do it."

Upon hearing He Ming's preliminary conclusion, Shang Chaotian's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously pursed his lips.

And He Ming continued to explain without any hurry:

"Chairman Shang, I don't know much about your project, but from what you said... that [Chess Saint] is very, very important, right?"

"Yes... It is the most important domestic competition, with a prize of 130 million. It is also regarded as the symbol of being the best in the country. It is more important than a world championship. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important individual competition for domestic chess players."

"And then... your student lost his temper because of a star female contestant, and lost the championship he had a good chance of winning, right?"

"……Correct."

"Well, it sounds like the main reason is actually his own unstable mentality."

He Ming pondered and said:
“But Chairman Shang, you have to know that when people face a huge failure, they will always subconsciously look for excuses and emotional outlets for themselves. This is a natural psychological protection mechanism.

"For contestants who rely on their strength to make a living, female star contestants who are just vases are usually looked down upon - even if they don't say it on the surface, they are still somewhat looked down upon in their hearts. So it's normal for your students to use them as an outlet for their emotions."

At this point, Shang Chaotian already understood what the other party meant, and said in a deep voice:
"But his idea is wrong!
"I have already formally apologized to him about this matter and also given him a lot of explanations!
"Rui Zhao did nothing wrong, and the promotion of her as a star anchor player is also an important strategy under the entire chess agreement. Lei Qi shouldn't be angry about this!"

"Apology? Explanation? Explanation?"

Hearing these three words, He Ming chuckled.

"You don't think that these things you just said are worth more than a million yuan in prize money and a most important individual championship, do you?"

Shang Chaotian was speechless when he heard this and couldn't say anything for a long time.

He Mingze continued:
“Chairman Shang, this is not a question of right or wrong.

"Of course I can say now that there is nothing wrong with your handling of this matter, but you have to know... people are born with a desire to be favored and treated specially.

"You may think that you are putting the overall situation first. But in the eyes of your students, compared with the emotional appeal of this world champion, you, as a teacher, value the value brought by a vase player more.

"Not only did he just lose the championship he should have won, but he also looked back and saw that his opinions were completely trampled on. How could he be in a good mood?"

Shang Chaotian was silent for a while before he said:

“But I said…it’s because he didn’t do it right!

"If his opinion is correct, I will naturally adopt it."

He Ming stared at Shang Chaotian for a while and slowly asked a question:

"Chairman Shang, please allow me to ask you a question first: Can you afford to lose this student?"

"Eh?"

This sudden sharp question made Shang Chaotian stunned:
"What do you mean?"

"That is... he will no longer play Go from now on, or he will change his nationality to another country and play Go for another country."

"How could it be!" Shang Chaotian stood up suddenly: "Lei Qi has always been very obedient, it is impossible for him to do such a thing!"

"Don't worry... I'm just making an assumption."

He Ming motioned for Shang Chaotian to sit down:
"But please answer truthfully: Can you accept such a result?"

"How can I accept this!" Shang Chaotian said immediately:
"He won the world championship at the age of 17. He is recognized as the next generation leader in our professional Go community. We have to count on him to break the dominance of South Korea's Ryu Se-hyun in the future!"

“This… is the problem.”

Hearing this, He Ming raised his eyebrows and glanced at the chairman of the chess association.

"Chairman Shang, I need to remind you:

"You can certainly not care about the opinions and feelings of an ordinary player. After all, your voice is not important, and you often have to compromise with reality - who told you that he is not good enough?

"But the truly important players who are like backbones are extremely irreplaceable. It can be said that... they are born with certain privileges.

“This privilege overrides right and wrong – even to the point that the emotional stability of key players is the greatest right in competitive sports.

"Of course, the coach and management team can choose not to respect this privilege for the sake of team atmosphere and discipline. But correspondingly, they must be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences.

"Let me give you a typical example: the Texas Spurs of the NBA had a major dispute with their star player, who they had trained. There were many different opinions about the process, and it was hard to say who was right or wrong.

“But… at this point, right or wrong is no longer important.

"Regardless of whether the Texas Spurs were right or wrong in the process, in the end, the star player felt that he was not respected enough, so he forced his parent team to resign and joined another team, and won another championship the following year.
"This powerful team that had made the playoffs for 20 consecutive years has since gone from strength to strength and has yet to complete its reconstruction.

"After listening to this example, you should understand what I mean, right?"

To be honest, Shang Chaotian, who doesn't watch basketball, had never paid attention to this example given by He Mingju before.

But the eight words "force the parent team to abdicate and switch to another family" made Shang Chaotian's nerves tremble.

You know, due to some historical reasons, there have been cases in the history of China where outstanding chess players traveled abroad!

Of course, those seem like ancient times now.

But precisely because it happened so long ago, it would be completely unimaginable if such a thing were to happen now!
Imagine: if Lei Qi, the only post-05 world champion in the world, were to enter the South Korean or Japanese chess academy to compete, and defeat the Chinese chess player to win the championship in a future competition...

Shang Chaotian was already a little afraid to think further!

Seeing Shang Chaotian's expression at this moment, He Ming's words became more serious:

"Chairman Shang, from what I saw just now, you really care about your student.

"But I feel that, perhaps because you raised him since he was a child, you have developed a habitual illusion of his obedience. You feel that you can always make demands on him and control him, while ignoring that he is an independent individual who is about to become an adult, with his own thoughts and demands. Moreover, in my opinion, after a huge failure, some of his psychological reactions are normal.

"Of course, I'm not saying that his request must be granted. But if he is indeed an extremely important athlete, then his emotions must be handled with extreme care, and if necessary, it would not be excessive to report to the General Administration and request that someone be assigned to resolve the issue.

“But…excuse me for being blunt.

"After the incident, you directly rejected his request to vent his emotions. But you actually questioned his professional attitude when he was affected and his competitive level was fluctuating...

"After this operation, do you really think that the negative emotions accumulated in his heart are not enough?"

Having said this, Shang Chaotian's expression was already not right.

He suddenly realized that after the fifth game of the Chess Master Tournament, his series of reactions were still too casual and stupid!

And the reason... was exactly what I told He Ming.

He had gotten used to Lei Qi's obedience and subconsciously believed that his students would definitely follow his arrangements! He had never thought about the possible impact on Lei Qi's psychology.

"Then, then Doctor He, what should we do about this?" Shang Chaotian asked anxiously.

He Ming immediately gave advice:

"Chairman Shang, please give your student a call and wish him a happy birthday. Also, apologize for your previous doubts about him!
"As for other matters, it depends on the specific situation. If possible, ask him to return to Dajing as soon as possible and come to my place so that I can have a good chat with him."

"Okay, I'll contact him right away!"

After Shang Chaotian responded, he immediately took out his cell phone to call his newly-adult students, but suddenly found that his cell phone, which he had just muted, now had four missed calls!

All of them come from Qin Xiaoxue!
Seeing these four missed calls, Shang Chaotian had a very bad feeling.

He unlocked his phone and was about to call Qin Xiaoxue back, but he found that Qin Xiaoxue had already sent him a WeChat message:

[Qin Xiaoxue]: Chairman Shang, has something happened to our Lei Qi recently?
[Qin Xiaoxue]: Just now, after he came back from a walk outside, he suddenly told us that he didn't want to be your student anymore. Do you know what happened? !
