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

At 7pm on July 8, at the "Lakeside Love" restaurant in Changchang County.

While major Go forums were discussing heatedly about Rui Zhao's victory today, a small celebratory banquet was being held here.

The four main players of the Pohu team gathered together to celebrate the only female player in the team who was promoted to the seventh dan with an extremely exaggerated performance. At the same time, they also took the opportunity to communicate and get to know each other.

After all, Du Weichen, Gu Chuxiong and Wei Zhenzhong are not from Pohu, and they all came directly from their respective permanent residences to the opening ceremony of the Weiqi League. They did not have a good opportunity to communicate and get to know each other before.

However, the protagonist of today's banquet was obviously not in a good mood and did not participate in the conversation. He just said jokingly:

"Niece! Today you have achieved two great achievements in a row: 'First Women's Victory in the Go League' and 'Progress to Level 7 in One Year'. Why do you look unhappy?

"Are you blaming me for not being able to beat Xiao Lei?"

"Ah! No, no!"

After hearing Du Weichen's words, Rui Zhao waved his hand and said:
"It's just... it's a rare opportunity to be on the main stage, but I only met Liang Qidan. I always feel it's a pity..."

Du Weichen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said:
"Hey, hey! Don't tell anyone about this!

"After Xiao Liang lost to you today, he looked almost broken. Don't give him a fatal blow again!"

"No, no!"

The girl answered firmly.

"I, I have made a lot of progress in social skills recently!

"In the interview after the match, I only said that I won because Liang Qidan was not in good form today. In terms of strength, he should be stronger..."

There has been a lot of progress in social skills...tsk tsk tsk!

When you were interviewed after the game, the word "disappointment" was almost written on your face. How can I believe it?

Elder Du shook his head secretly in his heart. But at this point, he could only hope that the opponent, Xiao Liang Qiduan, would not be hit too hard...

At this time, Gu Chuxiong on the side laughed and joked:

“However, it’s a pity that you lost these two rounds, Rui Zhao.

"If the other three of us could win a set, we wouldn't have zero points now.

"My wife just sent me a WeChat message to ridicule me, saying how I am not even as good as a little girl now!"

"Ah, no no!
"It's just that my opponents in the past two rounds didn't perform very well."

Empress Zhaotian waved her hand again, and then seemed to remember something, and continued to add:
"Oh, that's right...

"I'd also like to trouble Gu Qiduan to say hello to Sister Haocheng on my behalf!
"I've been busy with competition training since the Chinese New Year, and I didn't go to visit you. And I only found out about your relationship with Sister Haocheng in the past two days... I'm so sorry!"

"Oh! You have to be so polite!

"Didn't you and Haocheng's team compete very hard in the Women's Go League last year? It's normal that you don't know each other very well!"

Gu Chuxiong smiled again and said:

"But... Haocheng never mentioned me to you, can I understand?
"Zeng Pang... uh, no, Zeng Guangwen never mentioned me to you before?"

"Brother Zeng?"

Rui Zhao was slightly stunned, as if a little surprised:

"Gu Qiduan, are you familiar with Brother Zeng?"

"Hey! This is Fatty Zeng!
"Now I've become a livestream celebrity following you, but you never even mention me, your poor brother!
"If I had known I would have gone to the live broadcast station to trouble him after the game today. It's a pity that I didn't go to find him because he seemed to be lacking energy recently!"

Gu Chuxiong laughed and scolded for a few words, then explained:
"He and I were in the same class! We've known each other since we entered the professional scene!
"There were five of us who made it to the professional level. We all started from the beginner level and we didn't do very well in the end, but at least we all managed to gain a foothold and have good relationships with each other!"

"Then... who are they?" Rui Zhao asked curiously.

Now, facing some off-field relationships in the circle, the girl is still willing to know more about them, so as to avoid the extremely embarrassing situation of "I don't know who Lao Lei's son is" happening again.

Gu Chuxiong, who was a little drunk, immediately started to snap his fingers:
“That’s five!
"Me, Dai Ran, Geng Zhizhen, Fatty Zeng, and... uh... uh..."

After reading this, Gu Chuxiong, who was originally in good spirits, froze in expression for a moment and fell silent, as if he had something to hide.

At this time, Elder Du also realized that something was wrong and was about to open his mouth to smooth things over. However, Wei Zhenzhong, a simple-minded young man in his twenties, did not notice anything unusual at this time and thought that Gu Chuxiong had forgotten it for the moment, so he took over the conversation very "considerately":

"The last one...I remember it was Bai Yinhua, right?"

"...Ah?! Bai Yinhua 7th level?!"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao, who had been quite reserved, suddenly let out a small exclamation.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene froze.

Only then did Wei Zhenzhong suddenly realize that he shouldn't have mentioned Bai Yinhua!
You know, when Bai Qidan, the "scum of the professional chess world", was causing trouble, he was defeated head-on by Queen Zhaotian from his own team, so Gu Chuxiong avoided talking about it for fear of being embarrassed.

And if I continue to say this now, wouldn't it make Gu Chuxiong embarrassed?
But now that these words were spoken, it was difficult to explain them! The scene was very awkward for a moment.

However, Gu Chuxiong did not embarrass his teammates. He sighed and took over the conversation:

"Ah... yes! Xiao Wei, you reminded me right!
"The last one... is Bai Yinhua. There's nothing to hide."

After admitting it, Gu Qiduan hesitated again, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. Instead of trying to find another topic, he opened up and continued talking:
"The five of us were brothers who were promoted to professional professional in 09, and we have a pretty good relationship.

"Among them, Geng Ding and I were both 16 or 17 years old when we started playing, with no future ahead of us. I feel very satisfied with where I am today.

"But...Old Dai, Fatty Zeng, and Old Hua, all three of them should achieve results!

"Among them, Old Dai can be considered to have achieved success - he was also a recognized genius, but unfortunately he started playing Go relatively late, at the age of eight, which delayed him a bit in qualifying. Otherwise, his achievements could have been even higher.

"Although Fatty Zeng is smart, his pure attributes are too bad, and he is also a bit lazy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped at level 7!
"As for Old Hua...it's the most unfortunate thing.

“Although he is less talented than Old Dai and Fatty Zeng, he works hard and diligently, so he had the chance to become one of the top chess players.

"Unfortunately, during the most critical years, I encountered some disputes in the Luhuai team, which affected my mentality. Not to mention the ups and downs in my grades, I even lost my girlfriend who I had been dating for a long time. In the end... Alas!"

At this point, Gu Chuxiong sighed again, his words full of helplessness, and then added a conclusion that was somewhat out of context:

"At the time...it happened very suddenly, and he didn't give us any hint at all.

"By the time we found out about the situation on the news, he had stopped responding to any messages or phone calls..."

At this time, Gu Chuxiong paused, as if he was thinking about something in his mind. After several seconds, he spoke again:

“…Sorry Rui Zhao!
“The matter with Lao Hua… has caused you trouble!
"Actually, ever since I knew you joined our team, I've always wanted to talk to you about this. Since the time is right today, I'm here... to apologize to you on his behalf!" Having said this, Gu Chuxiong, who had already finished a bottle of beer, suddenly stood up, filled another glass, toasted to Rui Zhao, and drank it all in one gulp, very neatly.

"Ah, Gu Qidan, you are too kind!"

The girl also stood up and quickly responded:
“Actually…I’ve been through some things over the past year.

"I think that although Bai Qidan's approach is definitely problematic, some of his views do make sense..."

"Some of his...views?"

Gu Chuxiong was stunned.

"Ok!"

Rui Zhao nodded and said:

"After that game, I went to have a chat with White 7th Dan.

“At that time, he talked to me about many current problems in the industry and expressed his disappointment.

"The reason why he..."

"Alright! Second niece!"

Just as Rui Zhao was about to explain in detail, Elder Du at the side interrupted without hesitation:
"Today is your celebration banquet, so you should talk about more happy things!"

"what……

"I, I know..."

Seeing that the leader of the team said so, Rui Zhao did not continue to elaborate on what happened at that time.

But when she saw Gu Chuxiong's complicated expression, the girl couldn't help but add a few more words:
"But... although I couldn't help Bai Qidan with the previous matter, I am actually trying to find a way to solve the problem he raised!
"My agent, An An, told me: As long as I can keep going and achieve better results, it will definitely attract more people to pay attention to Go! It will also allow more sponsors to invest in professional Go events!
"By then, I believe that White 7th Dan will have a different view on professional Go as a whole! Then, you will definitely have a chance to reconcile as before!"

"what……"

Gu Chuxiong seemed to have never expected Rui Zhao to say such a thing, and he looked quite surprised.

Du Weichen also had a surprised expression:

"Hey, hey...are you serious?"

"Ok!"

This time the girl nodded particularly seriously and vigorously.

But after nodding, Rui Zhao probably felt that what he said was a bit exaggerated, so he quickly rounded it off and said:
"Oh, of course...

"I am just an ordinary female chess player. I don't know anything else except playing chess. Maybe there are only a few things I can do...

"But I think I can do my part! I've actually saved all my bonuses from the past year, and I plan to..."

"Okay, okay! I know what you mean!"

Just as Rui Zhao was about to speak out his plan in detail, Elder Du couldn't help but interrupt him with a smile.

Then, he straightened his expression and said seriously:
"Niece, don't underestimate yourself!

"I think your words can really bring a lot of help to the development of the entire Go industry!"

“Ah? Y-really?”

Faced with this sudden recognition, Rui Zhao was obviously a little surprised.

"Of course, I won't lie to you."

Elder Du continued to speak, and his usually recognizable glib tone seemed to have disappeared.

“That’s right… Just like you just said: you have to keep working hard and improve your grades.

"For a big star like you, as long as your performance continues to improve, the attention you will attract to Go will naturally continue!
"Unfortunately, a guy like Lin Ruixin...

"Hey! Let's not talk about it for now! What if he suddenly collapses like I did before?"

"Yeah! Don't worry, Brother Du! Sister An An told me the same thing!"

Rui Zhao nodded vigorously. It was exciting for the girl to have her actions recognized by another senior.

But after she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, and then added:

"Then, Brother Du, how about I go back and practice chess first? To be honest, I really think that dinner parties are a bit of a waste of time...

"Ah! It's not that dinner parties are bad, but for me, I still prefer to use my precious time to practice chess..."

After these words were spoken, the three people at the scene looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

...I said that, but you don't have to be so proactive!

Du Weichen couldn't help but say in his heart.

But after getting to know her over the past few days, he also realized that his second niece was worthy of the title of "New Generation Examination King", and he thought that she would feel uncomfortable if he forced her to stay here.

Elder Du sighed slightly, then waved his hand and let him go.

As a result, in less than ten seconds, the main character of the celebration banquet was gone, leaving the remaining three team members staring at each other. It was Du Weichen who finally broke the silence:
"...Okay! Let's continue eating!
"Of course, if anyone wants to go back early and roll with my second niece, I won't stop them!"

Gu Chuxiong and Wei Zhenzhong looked at each other, and Wei Zhenzhong, who still looked like a young man, asked:
"Elder, what you just said to Rui Zhao... were you trying to coax her?"

"Why should I coax her?"

Du Weichen put another large piece of beef into his bowl:

"On the contrary! It's been a long time since I, the elder, have had such a serious conversation with the younger generation!"

"……what?!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenzhong's expression changed significantly:
"But weren't those words a bit irrelevant? They even brought up the 'Go career'..."

"Hey, Xiao Wei! People of your generation don't understand..."

Du Weichen glanced at his number four figure, and immediately shook his head slightly, taking advantage of his seniority:
“When our generation was still young…

"The word 'idol' cannot be justified by singing and dancing." (End of this chapter)
