Chapter 280 Exaggerated acting skills
"Bang ding!"

As the teacup in front of Lu Wenjie fell to the ground and shattered, a huge crisp sound suddenly exploded in the chess room.

The sound of something suddenly breaking was so harsh that even Rui Zhao, who had been immersed in the chess game, couldn't help but stop placing the pieces and take a look.

This idiot finally looked over here!

Lu Wenjie, who had just burst out with an amazing desire to survive in the critical situation, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care that everyone in the audience was looking at him, and quickly gave Rui Zhao two glances.

The girl was puzzled at first, then stayed still for two seconds before she seemed to finally remember something and nodded hurriedly and vigorously.

call--

She...should understand the situation, right? !
You wouldn't kill him even if it's already like this, right?

Although he was still a little worried, Vice Chairman Lu had already done his best under the current circumstances.

Giving signals to one's own players in public during the game - even if the Japanese Chess Institute knew the inside story, it would probably be a headache for public relations afterwards.

However, there is no way to deal with this now! At least we can avoid the tragedy on the table first!
Lu Wenjie nodded to everyone with an awkward look on his face to express his apology, and then he started to clean up the debris on the ground with the on-site staff, but his eyes were still fixed on the board.

At this moment, Rui Zhao finally calmed herself down and hurriedly changed her choice of next move.

Black's 181st move ensures contact. This is the "capture material"!
call--

At this moment, Lu Wenjie, who was once a top winner in the arena, finally experienced the feeling of "half a step ahead of God" again after retiring for many years, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

...

…,

"Uh……

"This is a really exciting game! Isn't it, Xiaolang?"

"Ahahaha... yeah, yes!

"Although in the first half of the game Rui Zhao gained a huge advantage by attacking the white dragon.

"But Uesaka Rei is worthy of being the recognized talented girl who is regarded as the future hope of the entire Japanese Go community. In the middle game, she used her tenacious counterattack to drag Rui Zhao into a fight for the ko. She also successfully forced Rui Zhao to make a misjudgment, greatly recovering from the disadvantage.

"In the final stage, Uesaka Rei became more and more courageous, and she ended the game very skillfully, and the gap between the two sides was constantly narrowed.

"However, the gap in the first half was too big, and I still lost by two and a half points in the end. It was really a pity."

"Yes! But we can still see that the future is promising!"

"Yes! The future is promising!"

"Then we also congratulate Rui Zhao for helping our Chinese women's team win another victory in the Lakeside Cup.

"After a short break, the third match of this Nongshim Cup will begin. Our Chinese pioneer Lei Qi will face South Korea's second forward Xu Xiangheng! See you later, dear audience friends."

"goodbye!"

……

October 10, 19: am.

Dajing City, Chinese Go Association, Chairman’s Office.

Shang Chaotian couldn't help feeling tired as he watched his company's official live broadcast.

Under his special instructions, Xu Qinglan and Lang Haishen were instructed by the director to help smooth out the match as much as possible. There was nothing wrong with the wording...

But what really made Shangqi Wang feel powerless was the various comments in the official live broadcast room:
[No? What is the official explanation? It even has a Japanese twist? I suggest you check the ingredients! ]

[That’s right, this game is clearly a perfect victory for my Xiao Zhao! ]

[If Lu Tianyuan hadn't desperately signaled him to show mercy, this Uesaka Rei would have been a walking fifty-pointer! ]

[Um, fans of Queen Zhao, please take it easy! ]

[You can’t just say that Queen Zhaotian let us win just because we lost in the second half of the game! ]

[??? Is the person in front the one who just came in to see the results?]

[In the first half of the game, Vice Chairman Lu cleared his throat countless times, and he was so deliberate! ]

[At the 180th move in the middle game, Uesaka Rei found the wrong ko. In the live broadcast, Xiao Zhao was about to clear the ko, but Vice Chairman Lu smashed the cup in front of everyone, thus preventing the tragedy from happening.]

[If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself. There are live streaming clips on Bilibili! ]

[The two of them really have exaggerated acting skills. Anyone who is not blind can tell that something is going on! ]

[I used to complain every day about why domestic directors didn’t come to my Xiao Zhao to make movies. Now I understand - her acting is just too fucking bad]

[Indeed, in the second half of the game, the game ends with a let-off to save the opponent's face. This is very common in the professional circle.]

[But in the 181st move, Queen Zhao Tian was about to eliminate the calamity in half a second! However, Vice Chairman Lu used an unconventional move to stop it. Compared with them, those domestic traffic stars who can only stare are considered to have good acting skills! ]

[Don’t even mention us, the audience. The opponents themselves feel wronged! ]

[After Rui Zhao responded to that threat, Uesaka Rei realized something was wrong just a few moves later and started crying right on the spot. It was a relief that she was able to finish the game while crying! ]

[Hey, I wonder if Empress Zhaotian had a deep reflection on her exaggerated acting skills when she finished her performance! ]

Huh? Reflection?

Seeing this latest comment, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart:
This idiot probably doesn’t even understand why his opponent is crying!
……

"Vice Chairman Lu, um...

"Why is Uesaka Hatsudan crying all the time?"

At the same time, in the chess room of Chunzhuang Hotel.

Rui Zhao, who had just finished the game, came to Lu Wenjie cautiously and asked doubtfully.

"Didn't I only win by two and a half points? That's not much, right?"

"Hey……"

Lu Wenjie sighed deeply, feeling exhausted when thinking about the various public relations issues that would follow.

Besides, how could you, an 18-year-old girl, make the opponent cry?
The Ice Queen, Xu Nanying, and now there’s Kamisaka Rei...ah, if we have to count, Xiaobai has to be included too!

But looking at Rui Zhao who looked aggrieved, Lu Wenjie couldn't blame him for anything.

She did her best, but she just didn't have any talent for acting...

"Don't worry about this, just go and accept the post-match interview first! I'll take care of the rest!
“But remember one thing.

"When the media asks you during the interview, you must insist that you will not let the game go. Do you hear me?"

...

...

"Aoi, how is Uesaka now?"

On the same day, at 12:55 p.m.

Facing Shindo Hiroaki's question, Natsukawa Aoi, who had just returned to the operations meeting room, made a helpless joke:
"This question...why do I feel like I just asked you this recently?"

"Stop talking...it hurts my heart!"

"Hey, okay!"

Xiachuan Aoi shook her head:
"Li-chan is probably still quite sad. She keeps saying that she will definitely take revenge next time... Her mother is accompanying her, and Uesaka Kyudan has also arrived.

"But in the end, it's just a loss in one game. She hasn't had any other important matches recently, so it won't have a big impact."

Shindo Hiroaki nodded and sighed as he commented:

“In fact, Uesaka’s layout was pretty good in the beginning. He was not at a disadvantage in the first 80 moves, and it was obvious that he worked very hard in the later fights.

"But the suppression in move 80 and the moves in moves 96 and 98 were too reckless, and we just gave up the chance to win the game."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Unstable chess skills are indeed a common problem for female chess players."

The female Honinbo said helplessly:
"Rather than saying that Li-chan didn't play well, it's more like Rui Zhao was too stable. She didn't make any obvious mistakes throughout the whole process... She doesn't act like a female chess player at all.

"Now there is only one fourth-dan player left in the first stage, South Korea's Angelina Jolie, and it is likely that we will not be able to stop her.

"If I want to take down this beauty in the second stage... I guess I can only wait until the second stage now."

Shindo Hiromitsu nodded, thought for two seconds, and asked in a deep voice:

“Aoi, it’s not just Angelina.

"After watching her play chess these past two days, to be honest...

"Among the players we're playing against South Korea this time, besides you and Kim, do you think anyone else has enough confidence to stop her?"

Xia Chuan was silent for a while and did not take up the topic:
“Ah, compared to this…what’s the situation online now?
"Yesterday, the chess master was defeated, and this morning, the 'future chess master' was humiliated and given a handicap. I wonder how heated the online public opinion will be..."

When Hiroaki Shindo saw that his old friend was unwilling to answer, he did not force him to answer, and tactfully responded to Natsukawa Aoi's question.

However, his response was quite mixed:

"Uh... t-that's not the case.

"Actually, everyone... is paying attention to something else..."

"Ah?" Xia Chuankui was stunned: "Other things?"

"You, take a look for yourself..."

Hiroaki Shindo opened the Yaho website in Japan, turned to the sports news page, and handed over the phone.

Xia Chuankui took a look at it and saw that there was indeed a report on today's Lakeside Cup on the website. However...

The media's focus seems to be a little skewed:

[After countless hints, Empress Zhaotian still couldn't even glance back, and the Vice Chairman of the Chinese Chess Association was almost dying of anxiety! ]

[Even though there are so many loopholes in the interview, she refused to admit it. Isn’t the Chinese Go beauty so cute? 】

[Just now he made his opponent cry but then he asked why he was crying, Huaxia Rui Zhao 2nd Dan! The most cute contrast! ]

"……what?"

Looking at these titles, the Japanese female Honinbo was a little confused for a moment.
