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

Chapter 370 A Gift for Myself
"Chu Jun...why did you send such a thing?"

On the same day, half an hour later.

Dajing City, Chinese Go Association.

When Shang Chaotian saw the screenshot of WeChat that his deputy had just sent to him, he also frowned and looked puzzled.

Lu Wenjie raised his eyebrows and said helplessly:

"I just called Uncle Long and Xiao Chu to ask them separately.

"Xiao Chu felt that he had always been competing with Lei Qi, but because of Rui Zhao's recent popularity and good results, as well as his previous dispute with Lin Ruixin, many people in the industry were looking forward to Rui Zhao winning the title of Rookie of the Year. Some media in the industry even asked Chu Jun directly for his opinion on this, hoping to dig up some explosive news!
"Originally, he had always compared himself to Lei Qi, but now people are comparing him to a female chess player of the same age, and keep asking him if he will lose to Rui Zhao. Naturally, this makes him very unhappy! He got tired of being asked so he just posted this on WeChat Moments.

"I just gave him a few words of advice, and he has deleted them."

"That's good……"

Shang Chaotian sighed softly:

"If it's just some petty quarrels, it's actually nothing, I'm too lazy to care about it!

“But this year’s Rookie of the Year championship is directly related to the personal feud between Lin Ruixin and Rui Zhao, two popular contestants with a huge number of fans!
"When the time comes for this face-to-face grudge game, unless the game ends in a draw, the pace will probably go to hell! And yet Xiao Chu is still here 'warming up', what a pushover!"

"Hey, young people are always a little impulsive!"

Lu Wenjie continued:

“But… seriously.

"Chu Jun and Rui Zhao... Brother Tian, ​​who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Well... although I don't really want to see this result, objectively speaking...

"Rui Zhao, there is no doubt about it."

Shang Chaotian said it with certainty, but he didn't seem to want to talk more about this topic. After glancing at the time, he said:
"Let's not talk about this anymore! We'll talk about it after the new year if there's any situation!
"I think it's almost time, let's get ready to go online for the meeting!

"Um... Lei Qi proposed the meeting, but he didn't come up himself?"

Lu Wenjie smiled and said:
"He felt that if he were to talk about this with his teammates on the field after so many consecutive wins, it might not be the right thing to do! So he had no plans to attend the meeting.

"But he said that he would definitely be there to participate in the preparations for the third phase after the new year."

After listening to Lu Wenjie's words, Shang Chaotian nodded slightly:
"It's true... it's not necessarily all bad!

"Okay, then we will host the meeting! For the women's team, don't forget to remind Lao Jiao!"

"Don't worry, I told you before!"

After Lu Wenjie responded, he immediately returned to his office and joined the online video conference that had been scheduled long ago.

Soon, before 7:30, Dai Ran, Xiong Siyi, Sun Yi and Tang Guansheng came online one after another.

"Um... Is everyone here?"

Seeing that the four remaining players of the Chinese team in this Nongshim Cup were already in the meeting, Lu Wenjie started a conversation.

"Xiao Lei hasn't yet."

Dai Ran answered very briefly.

"Xiao Lei was eliminated and is no longer eligible to attend the meeting!
"...But don't worry! We won't let him, the captain, be lazy when the time comes!

"If Chairman Shang doesn't approve his leave for the third phase, he will definitely come to the scene. Everyone should not be unbalanced!"

Lu Wenjie simply made a joke and at the same time "explained" in this way why Lei Qi did not attend the meeting online.

"Okay, let's get to the point of the meeting!
"To make a long story short! The last round of the Weiqi League was played yesterday. I believe many people may have returned to their hometowns today and are now enjoying the New Year holiday.

“But…I need to warn everyone!
“The third stage of this competition will be scheduled after the New Year, and the first match will be on the tenth day of the first lunar month!
“Although it will be Shindo Hiroaki from the Japanese team who will take the stage first, we will also start at eleven!

“So… please keep yourself in good shape during the New Year!
“Xiao Lei has indeed gained a great advantage for us, but the ring match is not over yet!

"Especially... from the Lily Cup in my dream, Master Liu seemed to be in much better shape than in the LIG Cup..."

After saying this, Dai Gong took the lead and said calmly:

"I understand. I understand."

The fierce brother then stated:
"No problem! I've always wanted to fuck Master Liu again!"

A certain bear also immediately responded:

"Well! Senior Sun and I are not happy about losing to Young Master Liu in the Dream Lily Cup this time!"

Only one chess master was a little slow, and only hurried to catch up after several teammates had expressed their attitudes:

"Me, me too!" "That's good! I'll leave it to you all!"

After hearing the confident responses from the remaining team members, Shang Chaotian spoke out directly to set the tone:
"During this Spring Festival holiday, everyone should have a good rest and adjust their status!
"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step!

“Although we only have one opponent left, please stay calm and help our country win the Nongshim Cup, which has eluded us for three years!”

...

...

"Zhao Zhao...

"According to what you said, you might have to spend the entire day on the 23rd?"

February 2th, New Year’s Eve.

Rui Guoquan, who was having dinner, heard his daughter's words and couldn't help but confirm it again.

After hearing his father's detailed questions, Rui Zhao put down his chopsticks and explained in detail:

"Yes!

"According to the post-New Year schedule, the Nongshim Cup and Lakeside Cup competitions are scheduled from the 19th to the 23rd, which is from the th to the th!
"Although I have been eliminated, as a member of the team, I must go to Dongjiang Hotel to prepare for the competition with everyone!
"Even if Zou Yang and the others can finish the match early, I still have to play in the finals of the Rookie King Contest this afternoon!

"In order to make time for the subsequent Weiqi League playoffs, the main event of the Rookie King Tournament is now scheduled from the 17th to the 24th. The 23rd is the second set of the final!"

Rui Zhao listed the post-holiday schedules of the two major events in one breath, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

However, Rui Guoquan and Li Xinyin looked at each other, and finally Li Xinyin couldn't help but said:
"But... the 23rd is your birthday!
"We were planning on throwing you a birthday party like we did last year!"

"Ah? Ah..."

Hearing this, Rui Zhao came back to his senses.

Yes, February 2rd is Rui Zhao’s birthday.

The Rui family always celebrates birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar. So every year Rui Guoquan and Li Xinyin celebrated their daughter's birthday on this day, without exception.

"But... there's a game going on, so I have to focus on the game first."

Rui Zhao said apologetically:
"For me, the Lakeside Cup is a team honor that I haven't won in five years, and the Rookie of the Year award... I also have reasons to work hard to win it!

"Besides, I'm almost nineteen years old, so I'm a grown-up girl anyway! There's no need for you two to celebrate my birthday!"

"What else can I say? Last year, you asked your dad for a bag as your coming-of-age gift! Why are you acting like a grown-up this year?"

Li Xinyin said a small reproach, her tone sounded like blame, but it also seemed to contain other meanings.

Rui Guoquan frowned slightly upon hearing this and continued to confirm:

"Then you have to have a birthday present! You've achieved such great results this year, and I haven't bought you anything yet..."

"No need, Dad! I earn my own bonus now!"

Rui Zhao waved his hands quickly:

"Besides, I'm already an adult and still need my parents to buy me gifts. How can that be acceptable?"

After hearing this, Rui Guoquan pursed his lips subconsciously.

Although in the past six months, he also felt that his daughter was no longer willful and had grown up and become sensible. It seemed that she did not need so much protection and care from him.

But...for parents, this may not necessarily be a happy thing - at least that's how it is when they realize this.

"……All right!"

Rui Guoquan sighed lightly and said:

"Then we won't have the birthday party as you said! I won't prepare your birthday present either!"

"National power!"

"Wife, this must be a competition!"

Hearing his wife's objection, Rui Guoquan raised his hand and made a "let me finish" gesture. Then he looked at his daughter.

"Zhao Zhao, we will also be at your match that day.

"Then...your mother and I are looking forward to your birthday present for yourself!"

Rui Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he immediately realized what his father meant.

She immediately gave her father a confident smile, without any hesitation in her words:
"Ok!"
