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

The next day, March 3th, was the day before the final of this year's Fan Air Battle.

This day was a rest day for the competition. Rui Zhao did not have the habit of sleeping in, so he got up early as usual.

Although she had just made "big news" yesterday and was scolded by Lu Wenji, the girl herself did not care much about it.

After a simple wash, I did some layout research before breakfast, making full use of the time to improve myself a little more.

But at this moment, there was a rather urgent knock on the door:

"Sister Rui Zhao!

"Something big has happened! Sister Rui Zhao!"

It’s Hua Ran’s voice!

Hearing his assistant sound very anxious, Rui Zhao was surprised and immediately stood up to open the door.

After opening the door, I saw Hua Ran, who was waiting at the door, breathing rapidly and his chest heaving. It was obvious that he had jogged all the way here.

"Ran Ran, what's wrong?"

Rui Zhao couldn't help but ask.

Hua Ran steadied his breath and said:
"Sister Rui Zhao! Have you seen any news about you on the Internet?"

"My news?"

The girl tilted her head:
"Ah, you mean the thing about me advertising myself..."

"That's not it!"

Hua Ran's tone became more and more anxious, and he interrupted his employer directly:
"Last night, a piece of information came out!

"It's about you!"

"My... information?"

Rui Zhao had a confused expression on his face, becoming increasingly confused.

...

...

"Shinto, that information leaked...was it last night?"

At the same time, at the gate of the Japanese Chess Academy.

Japanese female Honinbo Aoi Natsukawa, who had already been eliminated by Rui Zhao in the quarterfinals of the Shankong tournament, arrived at the chess academy early today.

And waiting for her at the door was none other than the leader among Japanese chess players - Shindo Hiroaki.

"Yes, around eleven or twelve at night."

When she saw him, Hiroaki Shindo immediately responded and walked into the chess academy with his old friend.

"Hey! Our media is really efficient!"

Xia Chuan Aoi couldn't help but sigh:
"The news came out almost in the morning, and my boyfriend asked me about it when he woke up this morning!"

"There's nothing we can do. Rui Zhao is currently hot in the news."

Shindo Hiroaki kept walking and his tone remained steady.

"Before the tournament started, she was one of the main promotional points for the tournament. As a result, she performed extremely well this time, winning against Sakurai, Uesaka, you and Zou Yang, and making it to the finals! The attention she received has soared!
"That's all, but yesterday when she was interviewed by Chinese media, she also did something strange, which further sparked discussion.

"We all suspect that it was because the incident was so popular that the media increased their efforts to collect gossip news, which led to the exposure of this incident..."

"Hey, that's to be expected!"

Xia Chuan sighed softly:
"There were so many people involved that time. Weren't we prepared for the news to leak out?"

"Mainly... it's a bad time."

Shindo Hiroaki shook his head:
"Rui Zhao's popularity in China is at its peak. Now that this information has been leaked, the public pressure on the chess academy is very great!
"And Aoi, I'm afraid you also..."

"…It's okay. You can't eat me."

The female Honinbo simply responded, seemingly without any unnecessary worries.

Soon, under the guidance of Shindo Hiroaki, the two arrived at a small meeting room in a corner of the chess academy.

Sitting in the conference room were only three people: Kobayashi Yahiko, the chairman of the Go Institute, Ichijo Takuya, who holds the title of [Go Saint], and Ueno Torachiro, who holds the title of [Meijin]. Together with the former No. 1 player Shindo Hiroaki and the female Honinbo herself, they formed the core planning team of the original "Shoten Queen Response Plan".

After a brief greeting, the two of them found a seat and sat down.

Kobayashi Yahiko did not start with the usual polite conversation that Japanese people usually do, and asked Natsukawa Aoi directly:
"Xia Chuan, you already know the details, right?"

"Yeah. I heard that the original information has spread all over the Internet, and it has caused a sensation on the online media of the Three Kingdoms."

Xia Chuan Aoi briefly explained what he knew, and then asked:

"Do you know... where it was leaked from?"

Shindo Hiroaki on the side continued:
“To be honest…I’m not too sure about the details.

"Just after 10 o'clock last night, a domestic sports media suddenly published an exclusive news story, reporting that we mobilized most of the chess academy to conduct targeted research on Rui Zhao through his live video recording during the last match of the second stage of the Lakeside Cup.

"At the same time, the news also included all the electronic files of our research materials on Rui Zhao. It can be said that we caught him red-handed.

"As for the specific source, the other party only said it came from an 'internal source' and was unwilling to disclose it.

“Although we quickly used various channels to get the other party to delete the download link this morning, the information had already spread across the Internet!
"Now... a lot of chess fans are calling the chess academy and asking it to give a positive response."

“I don’t think there’s anything to reply to…”

Natsukawa Aoi interrupted:

"Is there any rule that prohibits asking others to work together on how to target the opponent's chess player before the game?"

"Xiachuan... that's what you said.

"But after all, the chess academy used your victory over Rui Zhao to promote your victory. And now people know that it was all your efforts and your big show against a Chinese rookie who was only a second dan at the time that helped you barely win by half a point... Some chess fans really can't accept it."

"Can't you just deny it?"

Natsukawa Aoi asked again.

Shindo Hiroaki shook his head:
“Not really…

"There are so many people involved this time that a forced denial will not be enough to cover it up."

"That's it...I understand."

Xia Chuankui closed his eyes and thought for a while, but did not dwell on the details anymore, and continued to ask:
"So...how does the chess academy plan to explain to the public now?"

Kobayashi Yahiko was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said:
"Xiachuan, this is it.

“This matter…I’m afraid the Chess Institute must extricate itself from it.

"Otherwise, the opponent was just a rookie who had been promoted to the 2nd dan level for half a year, but he forced our entire chess academy to mobilize so many troops, which was really too embarrassing.

"I just discussed this matter with Shindo. I'll have to ask him to help carry it."

At this point, Kobayashi turned his gaze to Shindo Hiroaki, and the Japanese throne naturally took over the conversation:
"Yes. I will keep this matter completely to myself and say that I was just trying to help an old friend of mine.

"And it just so happened that I had paid a lot of attention to this rising star in China before, and collected a lot of video materials about her. I mobilized some juniors and friends in the chess academy in the name of the chess academy to help analyze and target her. This is the origin of the information - this should be enough to barely deal with it.

"But with this PR method... Xia Chuan, even so, you will definitely still face a certain amount of public pressure.

"There will inevitably be some gossip in the country, saying that if it weren't for my help, you would have lost the Lakeside Cup..."

"I'm fine, just ignore it."

Xia Chuan responded very decisively.

“And…isn’t this basically true?

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to find the chess academy and ask for help."

As Xia Chuankui finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a subtle silence.

Finally, Kobayashi Yahiko cleared his throat and continued:

"Okay, it's settled! When discussing this matter with others in the future, please speak with one voice.

“The rest…

"We can only hope that during tonight's final guessing ceremony and media meeting, China won't embarrass us too much!"
