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

Chapter 390 Untying the Knot
On the same afternoon, in Dajing City, Chinese Go Association.

This day was Saturday and also the Lantern Festival. Logically, no one should come to the workplace and work like a slave.

However, for the two leaders of the Chess Association, working overtime on Saturdays is commonplace - especially when there are some tricky things going on at the moment.

So today at noon, the two of them just got off the high-speed train and didn't even go home, so they came to the association to meet.

"...Brother Tian, ​​just like I told you on the high-speed train, there are two things that are more troublesome right now."

As soon as the two of them entered the chairman's office and sat down, Lu Wenjie continued the topic they had discussed along the way.

“The first is the morale issue within the circle right now.

"In the past year, our results have been lackluster. In the World Championship, we only won the Sanshuang Cup thanks to Xiao Lei, and we didn't win anything in the Women's World Championship!

"We finally got the Nongshim Cup and the Lakeside Cup thanks to the outstanding performance of Rui Zhao and Xiao Lei. It would have been satisfactory if we could have won the two tournaments, but in the end, we ended up being used as a background.

"Therefore, we urgently need to make breakthroughs in various competitions to boost the morale of the circle!"

"Well, that's natural."

Shang Chaotian's expression at this moment seemed to be a little tangled:

“This time the Nongshim Cup was skewered by others. Although the center didn’t blame us too much, we certainly can’t just give up and let the situation go!”

Lu Wenjie nodded, paused for a moment, and continued tentatively:

"Next, it's something I mentioned to you a long time ago, and it's something that's more urgent right now...

"What happened between Rui Zhao and Lin Ruixin."

When talking about this, Shang Chaotian, who had just seemed a little conflicted, immediately looked bitter.

However, Lu Wenjie had no intention of letting his chairman procrastinate again this time:
"Brother Tian, ​​we can't delay this any longer! We have to come up with a solution today!

"Rui Zhao has already won the Rookie of the Year title, satisfying the duel conditions that Lin Ruixin had set at the time!
"It's already the second day after the competition. She may officially challenge Lin Ruixin at any time! But it will be hard to control her if she does that!
"The feud between these two chess players with huge fan bases is easy to cause a big stir. And now, when they have just been humiliated by South Korea, if they want to create such a big news of "internal fighting", the impact will be very bad!"

“I know this!”

For a moment, Shang Chaotian just felt a headache and his face was bitter.

“But the problem is that it’s hard to persuade either side!
"You know Lin Ruixin, he has always been very arrogant, it is impossible to make him give in!
"And Rui Zhao... because of the previous chess saint tournament, she has always felt guilty and always wanted to help Lao Lei and Lei Qi get back at their feet - in fact, Xiao Lei had already 'avenge' himself in the last round of the Weiqi League..."

"That being said, the impact of that incident has not been eliminated yet."

Lu Wenjie sighed softly:
"You also know that Rui Zhao...has always wanted to restore the teacher-student relationship with Lao Lei Jiudan.

"The reason why she wanted to play this game of chess with Lin Ruixin so much was mainly to use it to show her attitude to Lei Qi..."

“That’s why I always have a headache!”

Shang Chaotian sighed:
"To be honest, we owe this girl enough in the past six months!
"Whether it was stopping Bai Yinhua, helping us win the Lakeside Cup, or playing a huge role in promoting Go... we can all say that it was all thanks to Rui Zhao!

"And now she has finally won the Rookie King Championship according to Lin Ruixin's request. If we stop her from even playing this game, I'm afraid it will affect her mentality..."

Hearing this, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

In his opinion, Shang Chaotian's worries were indeed justified.

Rui Zhao has made great contributions in the past six months. Now that even the informal Let First Association has to interfere, I'm afraid he will inevitably feel a little emotional.

However, if this happened a year ago...

I guess the top leader of the company has already put the overall situation first without even thinking about it, right?
On some things...Brother Tian has also considered them more thoroughly!

Just when Lu Wenjie was about to give Shang Chaotian some more of his ideas and suggestions, he suddenly heard a young voice coming from outside the door.

“…So, Chairman Shang.

"As long as my dad accepts her as a student again, the problem will be solved, right?"

...

...

"So, Xiao Zhao, meow...

"Do you really have to give Lin Ruixin the first move in this game?"

At the same time, in Dongjiang City, at Rui Zhao's home.

Upon hearing that his own pillar was planning to challenge the current holder of the "Chess Saint" title to a public match, Ai Jianan suddenly felt a severe headache.

"Yeah." Rui Zhao nodded vigorously, his face showing a rare expression of determination.

“But… why?

"So you want to compete with Lin Ruixin?"

"This is not a matter of arguing!"

The girl puffed up her lips, but her tone remained firm.

"Well, there is a reason anyway..." Ai Jianan couldn't help but frowned when he saw this.

In her impression, this pillar of her family has always been obedient and polite, and is almost exclusively focused on Go itself. Logically, he should not be so obsessed with "making big news."

But when it came to challenging Lin Ruixin, the girl showed a strong desire to fight, which made Ai Jianan very confused.

As expected...what happened in the last game of the Chess Saint Tournament?

Miss Ai, who was unaware of the inside story, thought to herself, but she didn't have the time to speculate any further.

"Xiao Zhao, I understand what you mean.

"But...even though fans of both sides are fanning the flames, I don't think this is the right time to have a fight."

"Eh? W-Why?!"

Ai Jianan advised earnestly:

"Xiao Zhao Miao, you should know that you are already a public figure with millions of fans, and have been reported on many times by the central media. You are definitely one of the image signs of the chess circle!

"Even in normal times, playing such a 'grudge game' with a leading domestic figure of Lin Ruixin's generation is likely to cause trouble and controversy.

"Right now, the domestic Go results have not been very good in the past year. We were finally looking forward to the Nongshim Cup ending South Korea's consecutive championships to boost morale, but in the end, we were directly skewered by Liu Shixian, nailing the entire Chinese Go to the pillar of shame!
"Right now, the atmosphere in the entire circle is very depressing. If you openly challenge Lin Ruixin to a duel because of a disagreement between you, it would be very, very bad! It would be easy for people to think that you only care about internal fighting and not the overall situation!

"This is not only about your personal image, but also a harm to the reputation of the domestic professional Go community! Do you understand?"

"Is this..."

Hearing this, Rui Zhao was obviously a little disappointed, but after thinking for a while, he still said:

"Then, then we can also arrange a battle or a match without making it public!
"As long as he can apologize to Lei Jiudan and Lei Qi after I win this game, that's enough!"

Hearing this, Ai Jianan frowned even deeper.

My little Zhao meow!

Everyone in the circle knows that the great chess master Lin has no skill of "apologizing" at all!

Asking him to apologize is almost like asking for his life!

Ai Jianan was about to persuade him again when Rui Zhao's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Ah... Sister An An, please wait a moment!"

The girl was startled for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the phone from the side and prepared to answer the call.

But when she saw the caller's name, she was a little surprised:

"Lei, Lei Qi ninth stage?"

The girl had reason to be surprised - ever since they exchanged contact information during training, Lei Qi usually contacted her via WeChat at most, and had never called her.

Rui Zhao quickly answered the phone:
"Hello, Lei Qi Jiudan!"

"Hello Rui Zhao!"

The voice of the boy on the other side was calm and steady:
“That’s what happened…

"Didn't I promise you that I would be your own commentator for some of my matches in the Nongshim Cup? It seems like I haven't had the time yet. Do you have time next month?"

"Eh?"

Rui Zhao was stunned, a little surprised that the other party would bring it up on his own initiative.

Originally... this was actually planned for the Chinese New Year.

However, Lei Qi said at that time that he wanted to cooperate with his teammates to prepare for the third stage of the Nongshim Cup, and he canceled it again.

"Well, well... yes, yes!"

After a brief surprise, the girl answered quickly:

"As long as there's no game that day, I'm available anytime!"

"Okay then, come to my house! I'll set a specific time..."

Lei Qi's voice on the other side remained flat and he spoke very naturally.

"Hey, your house?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, but Lei Qi's tone did not seem strange at all. Instead, he seemed to suddenly remember something and casually said:

"Oh, by the way, Rui Zhao, I have an unwelcome request for you.

"My dad has seen that your grades have been good recently, and he seems to want to continue being your teacher...but he's a little embarrassed to tell you.

“I just don’t know…

"Are you still willing to be his student?"
