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

"Brother Tian, ​​did you see the news about the Yiguo platform I just forwarded to you?
"The public opinion online right now is...very bad."

In the evening of February 2, Dongjiang Hotel.

Shang Chaotian answered the phone call on speakerphone while reading the sharp and even harsh comments about Rui Zhao's participation in the game under the Yiguo news.

In fact, all of this was within the expectations of the Chess Association. The reason why Shang Chaotian and Lu Wenjie carefully concealed the news before was because they understood how much of a shock Rui Zhao's participation in the Nongshim Cup would cause to the public opinion in the entire circle.

However, now that negative public opinion is pouring in, it is inevitable that the person at the helm of the chess association feels a little suffocated.

"...I heard that some of Lin Ruixin's extreme fans reported the fact that we gave the wild card to Rui Zhao to the General Administration, saying that there was a secret operation.

"In addition, some more excited Dongjiang chess fans said they would come to the Dongjiang Hotel to protest early tomorrow morning..."

"Don't worry about them! Let's finish the competition first!"

Shang Chaotian interrupted his deputy in a deep voice:

"Anyway, Rui Zhao has already moved into the hotel! I have already made an agreement with the hotel to help seal off some floors tomorrow, and no outsiders without relevant credentials are allowed to approach.

"They love to report and protest. Even if the sky falls, they will still compete tomorrow!"

"But... we may always have to have some response."

Lu Wenjie's voice was still full of worry:

"As you know, some of Lin Ruixin's fans have always been a bit extreme. After they found out about this, they spread it on Weibo!
"Even...Lin Ruixin himself just posted a weird Weibo post. I asked him to delete it, but in his latest post, there are fans trying to stir up trouble again..."

Shang Chaotian's brows furrowed more and more tightly. He suppressed his temper and opened Weibo to take a look at the latest updates of his own chess master:
【Located in Dongjiang, what to eat tonight? 】

This post is ordinary and there is nothing wrong with it, but the first hot comment below is a bit unpleasant:

[Seeing that no one in the comment section dares to say it, I will just say it directly. A professional 7th dan player named Rui Zhao is doing something behind the scenes! ]

"Oh my god, why does he still let comments like this top it!"

Shang Chaotian cursed:
"I'll go find him and ask him to delete all of this!"

"Brother Kai has already looked for him, but it's no use..."

Lu Wenjie sighed helplessly:

“He was very confident and said that the association had no right to control what he said or what the people commented on.

"He also said that it was normal to be accused of behind-the-scenes manipulation when he designated a player whose past achievements were obviously not good enough to convince the public to compete in the Nongshim Cup. Why are we so surprised about this...

"To be honest, Brother Kai and I really can't refute his twisted logic."

"..."

Hearing this, Shang Chaotian also remained silent.

Indeed, to be fair.

Although they knew that relying on Ni Jue's flying knife library and through unlimited use of "Flow", Rui Zhao did have the ability to compete with the contemporary Nongshim God on the fast chess stage.

But in the eyes of the majority of chess fans, it is not clean no matter how you look at it to let Rui Zhao, a 7th-dan female chess player who has not even won the Women's World Championship, occupy the precious Nongshim Cup quota to challenge the world's number one player.

After thinking for a while, Shang Chaotian sighed and said:

"Hey! At this point, we can only pretend to be dead! I can only say that I have a clear conscience!

"If Rui Zhao doesn't perform well tomorrow, I will take the corresponding responsibility!"

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you talking about being depressed about...eh?"

Lu Wenjie on the other end of the phone wanted to comfort his chairman, but halfway through his words, he seemed to be attracted by something else and quickly said:
"Hey, Brother Tian! Wait a minute! Take a look at Xiao Lei's circle of friends!"

"Xiao Lei's circle of friends?"

Shang Chaotian felt strange for a moment, then opened his circle of friends and took a look.

The student who he thought never posted on WeChat Moments posted a message for the first time:

[I failed to win this game today, which really disappoints everyone's expectations. 】

[But I really don't understand why some people would be so hostile to Rui Zhao playing as a substitute.]

【Based on my experience with her, I don’t believe that she doesn’t deserve the Nongshim Cup wildcard.】

[If there are opponents who think they know more about chess than me, I welcome chess players who are willing to challenge me. ]

[I have too few WeChat friends and no social media accounts. If anyone sees this, please help me spread it to various social media and forums. I don’t know if this is enough.]

...

...

call……

I hope this can help reduce some of the off-field pressure on her and Teacher Shang!

At the same time, in another room of Dongjiang Hotel.

Lei Qi, his emotions slightly calmed, put down his phone and sighed.

It has to be said that even though Lei Qi has matured a lot in his mentality in the past year or so, the loss in this game still made his mentality fluctuate to some extent.

For the young future No. 1 player, this game is undoubtedly the most important one he has ever played since he entered the professional world.

Even more so than the final game of the Sanshuang Cup three-game match at the beginning of last year, even more so than the life-and-death battle in the fifth game of the Chess Saint Tournament the year before last, even...

It was even better than the crucial battle between him and Liu Shixian in the second stage of the last Nongshim Cup, where the "vanguard" and the "main general". Although he lost that game, he and Rui Zhao both won seven consecutive matches in the challenge match, which still saved a bit of face.

But he lost the game, and his peer, a female chess player, took over his unfinished task at the cost of overloading his "flow"...

This is really shameless!
Thinking of this, Lei Qi couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. But then he took a deep breath, took out his cell phone and made a call...

"Hey, Dad."

“Ah… it’s good.

"It's nothing, I just need to slow down a bit. It's almost done now."

"...I knew about it before. As for the details...

"I'll tell you when everything is over!

"By the way, do you know where Rui Zhao is now?

"We need to give her a rough outline of what the four of us have been discussing these days!"

...

...

"Hey, there's really nothing I can do about Xiao Zhao...

"Can't you tell me about this big thing?! There's really no public relations preparation at all!!!"

At 8pm on the same day, at the Southern Times Square office building.

Ai Jianan, who was still working overtime, couldn't help but sigh in the studio's office.

As for the reason for overtime... well.

Ever since the Go Association officially announced the name of the last substitute player who will take the stage tomorrow three hours ago, the entire Go community has been in chaos!

As the boss and agent of the main party involved in the incident, it is his duty to conduct public relations. So Miss Ai, who had packed up her things and was ready to go back to rest today, gave up the idea of ​​going back early and hurried back to work overtime.

It’s just that...until now, Ai Jianan has no idea how to fight back against the controversy.

Because Rui Zhao himself is a figure who has been in the circle before, this time he was faced with such controversial news, and a large number of Lin Ruixin's fans took advantage of this to stir up trouble, so naturally it was like water in a frying pan, exploding instantly.

The server of the Yiguo Forum had been down twice before, due to "Rui Zhao entering the quarterfinals" and "Lin Ruixin losing to Takuya Ichijo in the semifinals" during the Yingyi Cup, and then it was expanded.

But this time, because of this extremely explosive news, the Yiguo forum directly 404 again, causing a bunch of chess fans who had nowhere to vent their emotions to flock to the comment section under the news, and as a result, the Yiguo news section crashed again half an hour ago.

As a result, a large number of "Internet nomads" turned to major comprehensive online communities.

As the saying goes, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide."

For Chinese netizens who love to spread hostility online, this kind of "positive energy" collapse previously publicized by the central media is more welcome than "boring positive energy".

As a result, now in major comprehensive communities, news such as "Rui Zhao's secret manipulation in the Go circle" and "Lin Ruixin, the world's number one Go master in a thousand years, satirizes the injustice in the circle" are spreading at a very fast speed, and can be said to be the biggest gossip in the ordinary life after the New Year.

This time, Rui Zhao's participation in the Nongshim Cup with a wild card caused a huge stir, which was evident! It also made Miss Ai shake her head again and again.

To be honest, Ai Jianan really wanted to make a phone call and question his own pillar:
How can such a big thing be covered up like this?!
However, thinking about it...

Miss Ai, who has been with Rui Zhao for almost two years, knows that although she, the number one pillar, looks weak, once she makes up her mind, no one can pull her back. As for public opinion, she will not give it any consideration.

Instead of disturbing Rui Zhao on the eve of this crucial decisive battle, it is better to "believe first and then believe", "support all decisions made by Empress Zhao", and support their own pillars in other areas.

...For example, the current rather troublesome battlefield of public opinion.

Although, after the Chess Association announced that Rui Zhao was a substitute player, Ni Jue, Sun Yi, Du Weichen, Xiong Siyi and Zou Yang immediately posted messages to support their junior sister, but it did not have much effect - after all, the five of them were considered to have a vested interest in Queen Zhao.

Next, Lei Qi also posted on his Moments to express his support for Rui Zhao.

Although this eased the one-sided public opinion, it still attracted various doubts and controversies - after all, there were many rumors about the future No. 1 relationship between these two men and women, and it was difficult to say that they could be completely dispelled.

Well……

There still need to be some people with a neutral stance to support Xiao Zhao Miao!

Otherwise, even I don’t think it’s appropriate for Xiao Zhao to play in the Nongshim Cup…

Ai Jianan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, as a professional in marketing and public relations, Ai Jianan naturally knows that this is not very realistic.

In the battlefield of public opinion, people always emphasize "output when the wind is favorable, and play dead when the wind is unfavorable". If irrelevant people are involved at this time, they are very likely to get into trouble and be liquidated by public opinion.

With so much public opinion out there now, even if you are right, you often have to keep a low profile - after all, most people on the Internet only talk about emotions, not reason.

Well... now let's calm down everyone in the fan group and not get into meaningless arguments!
Ai Jianan made up his mind and prepared to take action.

But just when she had just joined the [Go Xiaozhao] fan group and was preparing to plan how to write an "official notice" to everyone in the group, she didn't expect that a big fan suddenly posted a long screenshot in the group and @ed her, the group owner, with surprising words.

[An An, look! This time, Dai Gong is actually in trouble! ]

[He published a 3,000-word “essay” through Xiaoji’s social media! ]

【He especially supports Rui Zhao! 】

……Eh?

Ai Jianan blinked in disbelief, not quite believing it. (End of this chapter)
