Chapter 367 Goodbye, 2023!

[Discussion post: Isn't Empress Zhaotian's train of thought different from that of ordinary people?! ]

[First of all, congratulations to Queen Zhao for winning the Bay Area Masters Competition! ]

[But as the title says. Although I had this feeling before, after watching the game today, I felt it more clearly! ]

[She won her first women's championship today! After the competition, she kept reviewing the game with Empress Liu until the staff reminded them that the awards ceremony was about to begin! ]

[I really don’t know why Empress Liu was willing to accompany her to review the situation for so long. It felt like she was kidnapped…]

[Well, to be honest, the way I looked at Xiao Xiaoniao during the live broadcast was like I wanted to stab her! ]

[I'm just wondering, is this disc really that interesting to replay? ]

[This is just the beginning! Brother, you haven't watched the interview after the award ceremony, right? ]

[Just now Song Jin interviewed her and asked her how she planned to celebrate tonight. She answered: to announce the good news to her teacher and parents... Song Jin was stunned by the answer! ]

[Song Jin is not the only one confused! ]

[I just came back from Fatty Zeng's live broadcast room. When Queen Zhao Tian was interviewed, she said that she planned to continue sparring with Zeng Guangwen tonight. Zeng Guangwen was stunned after seeing this interview! ]

[Originally, Fatty Zeng was considering planning some kind of celebration event with some die-hard fans of Queen Zhao that night to stir up some buzz, but it ended up falling through! ]

【I just want to say, isn’t this a bit too extreme? 】

[You said that you practice chess every day, isn't it just to win the championship? ]

[After winning the championship, they didn’t even celebrate, and continued to practice! ]

[Uh... Now that I think of it, it suddenly occurred to me that the night Empress Zhaotian won the Women's Go League Championship, she was also practicing chess...]

[Is there any Zhao fan who can help ask Rui Zhao in the fan group why she practices chess every day? ]

[I practice even if I win the championship, and I practice even if I don’t! Do you really treat chess practice as drinking water and eating? ]

[It’s obvious that the person above is not a fan of Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao himself has never joined any fan group! ]

[But... @安安can help me ask, maybe there's a chance, I'll give it a try! ]

……

Well……

Is it really that extreme?

December 12, in a short-term rental apartment in Dajing City.

Lei Qi couldn't help but sigh when he saw the relevant discussions on the Yiguo Forum.

To be honest, in the past, he seldom read the discussions among chess fans on the forum.

But the situation is different now. Every time after Rui Zhao and himself finish a game, he is willing to spend two minutes to take a quick look at the comments of chess fans.

Although Rui Zhao had asked him the question wrong before, Lei Qi was not optimistic enough to directly believe that Shang Chaotian's answer in public was his true thought.

But...Misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Rui Zhao asked this question publicly at the award ceremony of the Women's Go League, which was equivalent to throwing the comparison between the two in front of all chess fans.

Discussions with large samples from multiple angles are also a way for young people to understand other people's true opinions.

After repeated comparisons over the past few days, the general opinions of rational and neutral chess fans on the comparison between the two are basically:

Lei Qi should be ahead overall for the time being, but this comparison is completely valid and there is no such thing as incomparable.

Especially considering that both of them are only eighteen years old, it is entirely possible that the situation will be reversed suddenly because one of them suddenly achieves a major achievement.

Lei Qi felt somewhat relieved but also a little nervous about the opinions of chess fans.

Especially since it has only been half a month and the opponent has added another domestic women's champion...

...If I want to beat her, I must become the leader of Chinese Go as soon as possible...right?

The young man whispered in his heart what Ni Zhanggen had said to him not long ago, and suddenly he understood it a little.

She has won the championship, but she is still practicing chess...

It seems that I still have to work hard in the new year that is coming.

With this in mind, Lei Qi immediately threw his phone aside and continued to concentrate on preparing for the ninth round of the Weiqi League match against the Jianghan team tomorrow...

...

...

"Ms. Rui! Don't you really want to consider pursuing a career in acting?" December 12st, Sunday, the last day of 31.

In an indoor studio in Dongjiang City, the photographer who had just finished shooting was excitedly asking the girl in front of him, his eyes emitting excitement:

"I know a lot of people in the entertainment industry, and I've filmed material for a lot of young actresses! To be honest, you're in much better shape than those young actresses!
“When I saw your photo before, I thought it was photoshopped or filtered, but it turns out you’re even prettier in person than in the photo!
"Believe me! If you let me introduce you to some resources, you will definitely become an instant hit and a national film and television star!"

"Ah this..."

Facing the excited photographer, Rui Zhao subconsciously shrank back, looking a little scared.

Yes.

That morning, Rui Zhao took half a day off to shoot promotional materials at the invitation of Mengli Lily Company.

Because it was a photo shoot for bedding products - specifically, an advertisement for Yuleli Lily's signature product, the 0-pressure mattress, the girl was wearing a nightgown carefully selected by Yuleli Lily Company in the studio.

The nightgown was tailor-made according to Rui Zhao's figure and fit her perfectly. The white cotton base was printed with a kitten pattern, and supplemented with light blue ribbons and lace, which further highlighted the girl's purity and cuteness. And at this moment, when she shrank back, she looked even more pitiful.

"No, no need! I only know how to play chess, I can't sing or act!

"Well, it's getting late! I should go back and continue practicing chess!"

"Oh, Miss Rui! Being a chess player is not as comfortable as being a celebrity..."

After hearing this reason, the photographer wanted to persuade him. But at this time, Ai Jianan, who was not surprised by this, stepped forward and took on the trouble of persuading the other party for his main pillar.

After clearly explaining to the other party that "even if Shengyu Media wanted to directly sign Xiao Zhao as a contracted artist, we directly rejected it", the other party realized that this extremely beautiful girl really seemed to have no intention of entering the entertainment industry, and regretfully gave up the entanglement.

Seeing that the "work" was over, Rui Zhao didn't want to delay even a minute. He immediately went to the locker room to change his clothes, and quickly pulled Ai Jianan away, fearing that something else would go wrong and take up more of his time.

“Okay!
"Finally, I've finished all the troublesome things. I can go back to practicing chess now!"

The girl, who had just walked down to the street, breathed in the damp and cold air of the southern winter and felt it was extremely fresh. She took a deep breath and stretched a little.

Seeing the anxious look on his own pillar's face, Ai Jianan couldn't help but think of a question a fan had asked in the fan group a few days ago, and asked with a wry smile:

"Xiao Zhao, why do you practice chess every day?

"I won the championship two days ago and I have to practice at night. Now it's the last day of the year. Don't you even give yourself half a day off after shooting the promotional materials?"

Rui Zhao was slightly stunned, then tilted his head and smiled embarrassedly:

"Ah, there's no way...

"If I don't play chess... I don't know what to do!"

"Why don't you go watch a play, go shopping or something? Do something that girls like to do!"

The girl smiled more and more nervously: "But these... to me, are not as interesting as playing chess!"

This silly...

Hearing this answer which did not surprise her at all, Ai Jianan's smile became more helpless.

But she also understood.

This kind of naive behavior is the most rare and precious thing about the girl in front of me.

“…But, it is true.

"Before I know it... 2023 is almost over!"

The girl in Ai Jianan's sight sighed:

“Honestly, I feel like I’ve been very lucky this past year.

"Although the environment has changed... but I am really happy to be able to successfully enter the professional circle here and meet many good people like the teachers, Chairman Shang, and Sister An An!"

"That's it!"

Although Ai Jianan didn't quite understand what the so-called "changed environment" and "being here" meant, she could clearly feel the relief and joy Rui Zhao showed at this moment:
“Thank you for the compliment!
“And Xiao Zhao, meow… I also feel very lucky to have met you!
“I can feel a lot of special things in you, and the past six months spent with you have indeed brought me a lot of new experiences.

“It’s great to be your live broadcast agent!”

"It's not that exaggerated! There's nothing special about me!"

Rui Zhao seemed a little shy when he was praised by Ai Jianan:

"I am just an ordinary female chess player!"
