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

Rui Zhao... Ninth Dan? !

When this title came out of Shang Chaotian's mouth, there was a slight burst of discussion throughout the ceremony.

but……

The discussion soon died down.

Most people in the auditorium might be a little surprised that Shang Chaotian used this title at this time, but they were definitely not that shocked.

Regarding the news that Rui Zhao might be promoted to the ninth level, the Chess Association had already released the news through various private channels in order to give everyone some time to adapt. In fact, many people have heard about the news to a greater or lesser extent.

Now, although there has been quite a bit of controversy over Rui Zhao's sudden announcement that she would no longer participate in women's competitions, it has become somewhat unclear whether this plan will eventually be implemented.

But as Queen Zhaotian performed brilliantly in the final relegation battle of the Chinese Weiqi League, her almost perfect performance suppressed all the controversy.

Now that the time has matured again, it is not surprising that Shang Chaotian took the opportunity to present Rui Zhao with the Weiqi League Best Newcomer title at the award ceremony to hit a "two-shot deal".

Before the discussions faded, the two vice chairmen of the Chess Association as well as Jiao Kai and Xie Minghe were the first to applaud!
Soon, Lei Qi and Zeng Guangwen, who had just returned from receiving their awards, followed.

Next came Dai Ran, Ji Qiujuan, Cai Shuang, Lang Haishen, Huang Boyan... The vast majority of chess players and guests present applauded Shang Chaotian's award announcement, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a small climax.

In this warm atmosphere, only the contemporary Concubine Zhaojun stood up slowly and blankly, looking a little puzzled.

Zeng Xigou, who had just stepped off the stage, saw that his master seemed to be confused about the situation, so he decisively exercised his subjective initiative, ran to Rui Zhao and served him, leading the still somewhat confused contemporary Zhaojun to the edge of the stage and up the stairs.

Shang Chaotian felt quite amused when he saw Rui Zhao walking towards him in a daze.

But he also forced himself to hold back his smile, and sincerely congratulated the undisputed number one in Chinese women's Go:

"Congratulations, Rui Zhao!
"Your performance in both the regular season and the relegation battle was truly outstanding! You really deserve the title of [Best Rookie]!"

"Ah...thank you, thank you!"

Dangshi Zhaojun responded subconsciously at first, and then, as if she had finally realized something, she corrected herself a little panickily:

"…Oh right! Uh, um, Chairman Shang!
"You got the wrong rank just now! I'm not a ninth rank!
"I'm only at the seventh level now!"

Hearing this, there was a burst of light laughter from the audience.

It seemed as if he found it funny that Rui Zhao herself didn't know about this, and it seemed as if he found it somewhat cute that Zhaojun of the time actually behaved in such an ignorant manner in such a spot where everyone was paying attention.

She corrected herself...

Shang Chaotian smiled and said secretly in his heart.

In fact, the association had written a script for the sudden announcement of Rui Zhao as the ninth dan.

The slightly abrupt words "Rui Zhao Jiudan" that were used when announcing the award were the introduction to this script.

The association was planning to promote Rui Zhao to the ninth grade as an exception, but did not inform Rui Zhao in advance.

What we actually want is Rui Zhao under the camera, this confused and dramatic effect.

If Rui Zhao took the initiative to correct himself, Shang Chaotian would take the opportunity to announce Rui Zhao's exceptional promotion to the ninth rank.

And if Hanhan himself is so stupid that he doesn't understand the situation, then Xu Qinglan will also be the supporting role.

Of course, it would be best if Rui Zhao asked the question himself.

Shang Chaotian smiled more brilliantly and said slowly:

"Rui Zhao, I wasn't wrong!

"You defeated Ryu Se-hyun, the ten-time champion of South Korea, who had won 17 consecutive Nongshim Cups and ended four consecutive tournaments, in the Nongshim Cup. You won the Nongshim Cup for China again after four years! This has greatly inspired the morale of our entire Chinese Go community and set off a wave of Go promotion and learning throughout society!

"In order to commend your outstanding contribution, after a vote by the association's executive committee and approval by the chess and card center, we have decided to write [all female players who finish the World Go Team Championship, regardless of their original rank, will be promoted to the ninth rank] into the "Rank Management Regulations"!
"At the same time, I will grant you the Ninth Stage title as an exception!"

As Shang Chaotian finished his emotional words, there was another round of warm applause from the audience!

The media present also set up their cameras, and flash lights were crackling, creating a spectacular scene.

Until then, Rui Zhao finally recalled: Du Weichen had told him before that the association planned to give her an exceptional promotion to the ninth grade.

But at that time, Elder Du also said that because of the controversy caused by her no longer participating in women's competitions, the matter had basically been ruined.

Therefore, Queen Zhaotian, who was concentrating on chess, had already forgotten about it. It was not until Shang Chaotian finished explaining the whole thing again that Rui Zhao finally reacted.

what……

I guess I did a good job in the relegation battle, so there was less controversy, so Chairman Shang brought it up again...

Empress Zhaotian blinked when she finally understood, but there was no obvious joy on her delicate face.

She was quite encouraged by the sight of people applauding and taking pictures of her, but she became more calm and composed.

Finally, the applause died down.

Shang Chaotian saw that Rui Zhao still didn't react, so he reminded him at the right time:
"Okay, Rui Zhao, this is the situation.

"From now on, you will continue to compete in major Go tournaments around the world as the first female ninth-dan player in the Chinese Go world since the new century!
"At the same time... congratulations again on winning the [Best Rookie] of this year's Weiqi League!"

The Chess Association had fully anticipated Rui Zhao's lack of reaction.

This time, in order to pursue the best program effect, the chess association did not inform Rui Zhao in advance about her promotion to level nine at the award ceremony, so it was completely normal for the little girl to be confused for a moment.

But... objectively speaking, there is no need for Queen Zhaotian to have any reaction to this award ceremony.

Simply go on stage, accept the award calmly, say a few words of thanks, and then leave the stage amid another round of applause from the crowd, that's enough!

Therefore, it was natural for Shang Chaotian to guide the brightest gem in the Chinese chess world to take the next steps.

But he didn't expect that the biggest news and surprise of this Weiqi Awards Ceremony was brewing at this moment...

"... Chairman Shang, please wait a moment."

Just as Shang Chaotian was about to take the trophy and flowers from the concierge beside him, Rui Zhao's clear and powerful voice suddenly rang through the on-site sound equipment and resounded in every corner of the auditorium.

"……Eh?"

This short but somewhat strange sentence surprised Shang Chaotian.

However, the contemporary Zhaojun, who had just seemed somewhat confused, was now standing upright in the center of the stage, exuding a firm and powerful temperament.

As...

It was late one night last November!
At this moment, Shang Chaotian had a bad feeling in his heart.

He suddenly realized that the Chess Association had acted on its own without consulting the protagonist Rui Zhao at the ceremony, which might be a huge mistake.

But by this time, it was too late.

Without the slightest hesitation, the words came out from the mouth of the current queen of Chinese Go:

“Chairman Shang, I am very grateful for the kindness of the association and all the seniors in the circle! I am deeply honored.

"However, regarding the association's promotion of me to ninth dan...

"Please allow me to refuse!" (End of this chapter)
