Chapter 288 Achievements and Efforts

October 10, 21: am.

China, Dajing City, Dachang International Airport.

Lu Wenjie, who had just flown back to China from Japan, sighed tiredly after getting off the plane.

At this moment, a strong and powerful hand rested on his right shoulder:

"What's wrong, Wen Jie?
"You're not happy that you led the team to victory this time?
"Last night, the central media official account tweeted again! Congratulations to our two pioneers for achieving three consecutive victories!"

Lu Wenjie glanced at Jiao Kai who was returning with him, shook his head and said:

"Brother Kai, you have never experienced the feeling of being called over by people from Japan and South Korea to chat!

"Two major chess academies take turns to serve me alone. Is this a small blessing?!"

Jiao Kai smiled broadly and said:
"Oh, aren't they just two young men who went a little crazy?

"Why are our allies in Japan and South Korea so surprised? It's obvious that they haven't been ridiculed enough by Lin Ruixin in the past few years, so their psychological tolerance is poor!"

Hearing this, Lu Wenjie was slightly surprised:

"Hmm? Haven't you been disapproving of Lin Ruixin in recent years? Why are you speaking up for him today?"

Jiao Kai raised his eyebrows:
"Tsk, this needs to be discussed separately!

"Regarding the fact that he's crazy... I have never had any problem with it!

"In this era, I think our leaders need to be talked about! Otherwise, it will be too difficult for this old antique, Go, to compete with online games, mobile games, and short videos!

"So I was quite happy when I saw Xiao Lei actually said something harsh this time, contrary to his usual behavior!"

But Lu Wenjie was getting more and more confused:
"So why have you always had a gloomy face when you saw Lin Ruixin in the past few years...?"

"Oh, isn't this simple?"

Jiao Kai sneered and said:

"As a national team coach, I don't care about his live broadcasts or controversial remarks. I only have one standard:
"You should at least show me your achievements and hard work.

"If you work hard but don't achieve any results, that's because you have limited talent. I can understand that - after all, the profession of professional chess players is very competitive.

"You haven't worked hard but you have achieved results. That's because you are gifted and born with a chess physique. You are not qualified to compete with us mortals. I am also convinced and have nothing to say!
"But your results and efforts are not as good as before... What's going on?
“By the way…the LIG Cup is coming up soon.

"Our number one in the country...hasn't touched the World Championship for three years?"

Lin Ruixin’s last world championship was the 2020 LIG Cup.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Jiao Kai's statement.

Lu Wenjie was silent for a moment and did not continue the topic:

"Brother Kai...

"Or... let's get back to talking about the ring match?"

Jiao Kai shook his head and then smiled:

“Okay, let’s talk about our two pioneers!

"Wen Jie! I feel like we might have played a big card this time!"

Lu Wenjie was stunned and asked back, "Are you talking about the men's team or the women's team?"

Jiao Kai raised his eyebrows: "Both teams!"

"Well……"

Lu Wenjie hesitated for a while before nodding:

“You… are right.

"I feel... given Rui Zhao's condition, he's probably already better than Xue Fei and the little witch.

"Before the match, I thought she might win in a row, but I didn't expect her to win all three sets! It can be said that there were no setbacks at all...

"As for Xiao Lei..."

"...Actually, I feel like Xiao Lei hasn't fully recovered yet!"

Seeing that Lu Wenjie was a little hesitant, Jiao Kai decisively interrupted and said:
“But for some reason, he played particularly hard and bravely this time!

“To be honest, when he won the game against Xu Xiangheng, no one in China dared to say that they had more than 20% chance of being able to do it, but this little guy actually did it!

“I feel that since Lin Ruixin is not in this lineup, even if he is in average condition, he should at least be given the position of deputy general, so that he can cause some trouble to Young Master Liu!
"But if we put him so far forward, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get in front of Young Master Liu - after all, if you bet too much, you will always lose."

"Hey, I mentioned this at the meeting as well. Should we put Xiao Lei aside?"

Lu Wenjie sighed and said:

"But he himself wants to be the vanguard!
"It just so happens that his recent grades are indeed the worst among the five of us. In this situation, Brother Tian and I can't do anything!"

Jiao Kai blinked his eyes and said meaningfully:
"Hey, maybe... he specifically asked for this because he wanted to compete with Rui Zhao?"

Lu Wenjie glanced at Jiao Kai again and said helplessly:
"Brother Kai, although this is basically the truth, but...

"…I'm afraid it's not what you think."

"……what?"

Hearing these seemingly contradictory words, Jiao Kai's expression was a little confused for a moment.

……

"ah……?
"You asked me if I could review the game with you tonight?!"

Half an hour later, Dongjiang City, Jiangdong International Airport.

Hearing the girl's question again, Lei Qi, who had just returned to Dongjiang by plane, looked a little confused for a moment.

Yes, this time the Chinese team in Dongjiang returned to China separately.

This is more convenient, so that people don’t have to take the JD high-speed train.

Lu Wenjie and Jiao Kai flew directly back to Dajing, while Lei, Rui, Wen and Ai returned to Dongjiang - among them Wen Xuefei transferred from Dongjiang back to Chengdu.

However, Rui Zhao in front of Lei Qi did not notice anything unusual and nodded and said:
"Yes! I especially want to hear your commentary on the game where you defeated Xu Xiangheng 9th Dan! I think it will definitely be helpful for me to play against the wind in the future!
"Lei Qi Jiudan, didn't you say you would return to your country first? Now you have already returned!"

I was just perfunctorily saying to you at the time, "Do you have to remember it so clearly?"
The young man secretly cried out in pain, but he couldn't take back what he had said, so he could only say:
"Please! I'm going to Zhenze City to participate in the Changqi Cup tomorrow, and you should also go to Bian Meng to participate in the Women's Masters Tournament qualifiers tomorrow! Please don't arrange the schedule too tight!

"Even if you don't want to rest and prepare, I still need it! I don't have time to commentate on my own battles!"

"Wow... I, I understand..."

The girl who was bullied by Lei Qi immediately looked aggrieved, which made Wen Xuefei, who was not far away, couldn't help but interrupt:
"Well, Xiao Lei.

"These days, tsundere has become obsolete!"

"What tsundere! This is the truth, okay, Sister Xuefei!"

Lei Qigang complained speechlessly and was about to argue further when he suddenly stopped.

As he was pulling his luggage and approaching the exit, he saw his parents coming to pick him up.

Even when Lei Jingming and Qin Xiaoxue saw him, they seemed a little at a loss.

Lei Qi knew why his parents behaved like this, and immediately left the group quickly - especially his father's former student:

“Then…everyone.

"My parents are here to pick me up. I'll leave first! Bye!"

At this time, Rui Zhao also saw Lei Jingming and his wife from afar.

Even though she was rather naive, she knew that it was definitely not appropriate for her to go up and say hello now.

However, Rui Zhao, who had received a lot of instruction from Lei Jingming some time ago, couldn't help but call out to Lei Qi:
"Lei Qi Ninth Stage!"

"What's wrong again?" The boy's voice sounded a little impatient.

The girl couldn't help but flinch slightly, but still insisted on finishing her words:
“Well, that…

"Say hello to your parents for me!"

Lei Qi was startled, then replied with a complicated expression:
"I see……"

...

...

Well……

The relationship between these two people... really makes me, a spectator, very curious.

A minute later, Ai Jianan accompanied Rui Zhao out of the airport exit and met Rui Guoquan and his wife on the other side of the exit.

While watching the happily reunited members of the Rui family, Ai Jianan was still thinking about what had happened recently between Lei Qi and Rui Zhao - including but not limited to the two times that Lei Qi deliberately rushed to Rui Zhao's live broadcast station after the game, and the conversation that was obviously a bit awkward behind the scenes.

Although it is easy for people to associate a talented man and a beautiful woman of the same age with each other, Ai Jianan understands that the relationship between the two has nothing to do with love.

You know, when they were on the second floor of Tongge Tower, Ai Jianan, who was doing a live broadcast, saw from afar the scene where Lei Qi questioned Shang Chaotian and Rui Zhao - but no matter how she asked her own pillar, she refused to reveal the situation behind it.

Considering the recent situation, the two of them always felt that it was wrong to call them enemies, and it was even more wrong to say that they had a good relationship. If they had to say it...

...Xiao Lei seems to be arguing with Xiao Zhao Miao? !
Ai Jianan was a little confused when he came to this conclusion.

In her opinion, the competition tracks for top male and female chess players are different, and Lei Qi's level is much higher than Rui Zhao's. What are these two competing for?

Is it really just about who wins more in the ring match?

Ai Jianan was puzzled for a moment, but she didn't worry too much about it.

She has more important things to do right now, which is to talk to Rui Guoquan's family.

——Even though she thought the result was predictable, they still had to talk.

Seeing that the three people from the Rui family had finished their brief chat, Ai Jianan immediately stepped forward and said:

"Um...Uncle, Auntie!

"Like I told you two before, since everyone is here today, let's just find a place and discuss those things!"

"Eh?"

Rui Zhao, who didn't know the situation, was confused for a moment:
"What's the matter?"

Rui Guoquan, who was in a good mood to welcome his daughter back, lost some of his joy when he heard this. He pursed his lips and said:
"Ah... you were busy with the competition some time ago, so I didn't tell you.

"Miss Ai, let's find a place to have lunch and talk while we eat!"
