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

Chapter 245 Help
"Sister An An!

"It was a close call! We won this round again!"

Just when Lei Qi, who was far away in Dongjiang, had just confirmed Rui Zhao's next opponent, the girl who had just finished the competition at the Dangchao Sports Center had already trotted over to her agent and made a small V sign:
“The first chess game really scared me!
"After I played, I was thinking about the opponent's response and suddenly felt something was wrong! Fortunately, the opponent didn't notice it!"

"I see... That's really lucky!"

Ai Jianan, who had been filming the material and not paying much attention to the chess game itself, answered casually.

Due to the tight time limit in rapid chess matches, even top players often make mistakes in calculations.

Even amateur chess players like Ai Jianan are not surprised by the situation of making mistakes like Rui Zhao just encountered in the previous game:

"…By the way, Xiao Zhao, I just made an appointment with the tournament officials. You will be at the venue for an official interview, just like you did at noon.

"Then when you want to leave, the organizing committee will open a small door for you. Otherwise, the reporters who didn't wait for Gao Yang at noon will be waiting to block you at the main entrance!"

"Ah?" Rui Zhao tilted his head slightly: "Why do you want to block Gao Yang's second section?"

"...

"Oh! Never mind, it's not a big deal."

After a moment of silence, Ai Jianan sighed softly, thinking that this fool probably didn't know about some of the off-site affairs!

——It’s useless to know it anyway, and it might even affect her condition.

But just as Ai Jianan was about to pack up with Rui Zhao to go for an official interview, a young man's voice suddenly came over.

"Ah... [Yi Zhao Qi Yi]!
"This time, God has given me a chance to redeem myself!"

Hearing this, both of them were startled, and then looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.

They saw a young man, about 1.70 meters tall, in his late twenties, with a plump figure, walking towards them with a lovely smile on his face.

"I thought you were devastated after that famous game, but the fact that you were able to win two rounds in a row shows that you have recovered some of your strength!

"You...should already know who your next opponent is, right?"

Ai Jianan couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw the person coming.

Who is this person...?

How come Xiao Zhao Miao’s nickname on the Yiguo platform came out?

Rui Zhao blinked and answered without any vigilance:

"Hmm! I looked and it should be the winner between Zeng Guangwen 7th Dan and Guo Zicheng 4th Dan!
"Ah...I still have to go see if they've finished their game."

After hearing this, the smile of the wealthy young man in front of him froze for a moment, and he asked in disbelief:

"no……

"Aren't I already in front of you? And you're still asking me if the game is over?"

"what?"

Rui Zhao blinked and stood there in a daze for a long time before he finally realized what the wealthy young man meant.

But even so, the delicate situation has not ended yet.

Because you have to choose one of the two!
In order to make a final confirmation, the girl had to say carefully:

“I, I understand…

"But...are you Zeng Guangwen 7th dan or Guo Zicheng 4th dan?"

At this time, the wealthy young man finally couldn't stand it anymore and broke down on the spot:
"I am Zeng Guangwen! I am the Zeng Guangwen who lost to you due to a mistake earlier!
"Back then, you were beaten up by high-level chess players on the Yiguo platform, and you finally won a game against me to build up some confidence. As a result, my teacher called me and scolded me.

"I know you, how can you not know me?!"

"Ah! You, you are Zeng Guangwen, 7th dan? No, sorry!"

Rui Zhao looked very embarrassed, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only apologize carefully.

Of course, this really can't be blamed on Rui Zhao.

Although she had made up for a lot of knowledge about the world's Go circle during this period, as a newcomer in the professional circle, she was still far from remembering the appearance of all the players one by one - even though Zeng Qidan's appearance was very recognizable among Go players.

What's more, although Zeng Guangwen is a 7th-dan chess player, he is only a substitute in the Weiqi League, and he only rushes forward to support when his own team does not use foreign aid.

In terms of chess skills alone, he is really a nobody among the high-level players.

So, even though Rui Zhao had won a game with Zeng Guangwen before and had a deep impression of this name, he was still stunned when he saw the other person in person.

However, Zeng Guangwen remained unyielding:

"I played such a crucial game of chess with you, why don't you recognize me?
"If you know me a little bit, you won't know me nothing at all!"

"This……"

Rui Zhao didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She seldom paid attention to anything other than Go, so she naturally didn't know what was going on with Zeng Guangwen outside the game - especially his appearance.

Seeing that Rui Zhao still couldn't come up with a reason, Zeng Qiduan finally became a little angry:
"Okay! I was thinking that even though you beat me last time and I was deducted the title of 'weakest seventh dan'. But you are also a young talent, and losing will help you gain some confidence.

“But in the end… you actually know nothing about me now?!

"Just wait! I was careless last time, so you sneaked up on me!
"Tomorrow I will make you understand how powerful I am when I get serious!"

After saying this, Zeng Guangwen walked away, leaving only a broad and heavy back behind the two of them.

Ai Jianan and Rui Zhao looked at each other for a while, and finally Ai Jianan couldn't help but asked in confusion:
"So, Xiao Zhao, meow...

"Who is Zeng Guangwen?"

"So Sister An An, you have even less impression than I do!"

The naive girl made a rare small complaint.

...

...

“What’s going on?!

"Why am I hung on the street light?"

September 9, the second day of the 6 Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament preliminaries, 2023 am.

Lei Qi, who had just arrived in Dangchao City by online taxi, looked at the billboards on the street lights on both sides of the road, and an expression of doubt about life appeared on his face.

It's fine to be put together with Rui Zhao in the promotional materials...

What does it mean to hang them on street lamps all over the city?

The boy couldn't help but bury his head in his hands.

He had never imagined that the organizers of this competition would be so extravagant... Even the online taxi driver glanced at him several times through the rearview mirror!

But now the matter is done, there is no point in saying more.

Fortunately, I prepared a mask and sunglasses in advance this time...

Otherwise, how can you face walking on the street?
...

Five minutes later, a man about 17 or 18 years old, wearing sunglasses and a mask, walked quickly into the lobby of Pinghu International Hotel.

"Um...I have a reservation with you."

"Okay! Could you please show me your ID card, sir?"

"Ah."

Lei Qi handed over his ID card.

After the front desk staff quickly confirmed the situation, they first looked at the tightly wrapped boy in front of them with a little surprise, then smiled bitterly and replied:

"Mr. Lei Qi, you did book a room, but... it's too early now and you can't check in yet."

"fine."

Lei Qi had naturally anticipated this result and immediately took off his backpack.

"I'll just drop my bag off at the front desk and I'll be out right away. I'll be back at noon to officially check in."

"Oh, that's fine!"

The staff quickly took the backpack and helped Lei Qi put it away.

Just as the young man relaxed his shoulders and prepared to rush to the Dangchao City Sports Center, he suddenly heard someone calling his name:

"Lei Qi? Why do you look like this?!"

……ah?

Can anyone recognize me here?
The young man cried out inwardly. Turning around, he found that the opponent was his father's old acquaintance, and he had played against and consulted with him many times. He was the coach and substitute player of the Dongjiang team of the Weiqi League, Shan Gang, 8th dan.

An acquaintance... no wonder.

Lei Qi quickly took off his sunglasses and mask and greeted him.

"Ah, hello Uncle Shan!
"It's just... the publicity for this competition was a bit exaggerated, so I just want to stay out of the spotlight for a while."

Although Shan Gang is almost ten years younger than Lei Jingming, for Lei Qi, calling him uncle is not an exaggeration.

Like Lei Jingming, Shan Gang, now 38 years old, is also a player who maintains a very good form.

Like last year's Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, he made it all the way from the preliminaries to the semi-finals, which was quite an upset. And this year, he also directly entered the main tournament based on last year's semi-final result.

Hearing this, Dan Gang was stunned at first, but then he reacted and couldn't help laughing:

"Oh, I understand!

"I heard that Miss Rui Zhao was also quite confused when she first found out about this, haha..."

“Is that so? Ahahaha…”

Lei Qi could only laugh dryly, and at the same time he began to think about how to find an excuse to slip away.

However, Shan Gang spoke first:

"But, I heard from your father earlier that you wouldn't come until tomorrow. Why did you come here so early this morning?"

"This……"

Lei Qi became more and more embarrassed, and his brain quickly began to remember the reason.

But before he could find a good way out, Shan Gang suddenly seemed to have suddenly realized something, winked at Lei Qi and said:

"oh!

"Did you come here specially to watch Rui Zhao play chess?"

"what?!"

Lei Qi was shocked to hear that the other party had guessed the purpose of his coming early.

How did Uncle Shan know about this?

My dad should have told everyone who knew about this chess master battle not to tell anyone the inside story!

Could it be that... Dad told Uncle Shan about this? !
So he guessed the reason why he came early? !

Lei Qi became more and more confused and was just thinking about how to test the other party when Shan Gang continued:

"To be honest, after seeing the promotional materials for this Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, many people think you two are a perfect match! Haha..."

"..."

Lei Qi knew that his current expression must not look very good.

But he still tried hard to force a smile and said:
"No, not to the extent that...

"I heard that Rui Zhao is the little princess of the Zhicheng Group. How can I marry her?"

Shan Gang still had a smile on his face:

"Why are you being so modest?

"You won the world championship at the age of seventeen, and you are recognized as the future number one. Even Dajing University has sent you an offer. It's no wonder that you are favored by any rich girl! How can you not be worthy of Rui Zhao!"

"Uh, I really didn't mean that..."

Seeing that Shan Gang was still joking, Lei Qi made his expression and tone more serious:

"I came early this time just because I didn't want to trouble my parents at home. I just planned to stay in the hotel for two days to prepare for the competition. I have no other intentions.

"And what you just said... it would probably be very disturbing for a girl to hear it, right?"

"Uh……"

After a brief thought, Dan Gang realized that his little joke might indeed be annoying to the person involved:
"You're right! Let's not talk about this anymore."

call……

Lei Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

But just when Lei Qi thought he had gotten rid of this elder, he suddenly changed the subject and started talking in another way:
"...But, since you have nothing to do these two days, can you do me a small favor?"

I will officially start writing the story tomorrow, and I will need to explain the plot in between.
