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

……Eh?

……no!
What is she talking about? ! ! !
At the same time, in Bachuan County, Qinguan Province.

Bai Yinhua, who was watching the Weiqi League award ceremony with his students, was stunned when he heard what Rui Zhao said in the live broadcast.

Of course, Bai Yinhua was not the only one who was stunned on the spot.

Qu Hui, who was originally shouting and calling out her idol's name, also stopped.

During the live broadcast, the entire scene froze on the spot as Rui Zhao spoke, and there was no movement for a long time.

Everyone at the awards ceremony was confused about what was happening. It was not until two seconds later that everyone came to their senses and the live broadcast was suddenly filled with noisy discussions.

This is a natural reaction!
The Chairman of the Chess Association publicly announced on such a grand occasion that new regulations have been formulated for you, and that you will be promoted to level nine as an exception. This is a great honor no matter how you look at it!

As a result, Rui Zhao actually said...

"Please allow me to refuse"?!

What is going on? ! ! !
Shang Chaotian, who was about to present the award to Rui Zhao, was immediately embarrassed. After several seconds, he cleared his throat unnaturally and asked Rui Zhao:
“Uh, Rui Zhao.

"What you just meant is... you don't want to be promoted to the ninth level?"

"Do not."

Rui Zhao answered decisively:

“Although I don’t really care about my rank, being promoted to the highest 9th dan is a great honor for every player, and I think so too.

“I just…

"I just don't want to be promoted to ninth dan this way."

Don't want to do it this way?

Bai Yinhua couldn't help but tilt his head.

Shang Chaotian, who was standing in the middle of the stage, obviously had the same question and immediately asked tentatively:

"Do you think... there are flaws in the procedure for retroactively approving the supplementary regulations? You don't have to worry about it!

“There is precedent for retroactively approving the upgrade after supplementing the regulations!
"Xie Ming and Jiudan previously followed this process to complete their promotion to 9th level, and no one ever raised any objections..."

"That was not what I meant."

Before Shang Chaotian could finish, Rui Zhao shook his head and said:

“I think that Xie Ming and his coach deserve to be promoted to 9th dan, and there is no problem with that.

"If I win three games in a row in the Nongshim Cup this time and end the tournament, then it would be reasonable for me to be promoted to 9th dan...

"But I only won one match in the Nongshim Cup. According to the 'Ranking Rules', I can only win one match as the world runner-up, which doesn't qualify me to be promoted directly to ninth place..."

Hearing this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but frown and interrupted:
“So, this newly added rule specifically specifies the restrictions for female chess players!
"Female chess players are generally weaker than male players, so it makes sense to differentiate them..."

It was obvious that Shang Chaotian's words were intended to persuade Rui Zhao to accept the chess association's decision to promote him.

But Shang Chaotian stopped talking, as if he had realized something...

As expected, Rui Zhao firmly replied after hearing this:

“So, Chairman Shang.

"If I accept this special promotion, wouldn't it be like me admitting that female players are weaker than male players and cannot get the same honor without some preference?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion at the scene exploded again!
Almost everyone was discussing Rui Zhao's words which sounded quite outrageous, and there were even faint sounds of ridicule heard from the table.

Bai Yinhua became more and more confused.

This……

This girl really got carried away after winning against the world's number one player!!!
Did she really think that female chess players could be compared with male ones?! However, despite the noise, Empress Zhao Tian, ​​who was standing in the center of the stage, did not flinch at all. She continued to speak despite the constant discussion:

"Ah, I know that with my current strength, it's a bit presumptuous to say this.

"The most obvious thing is that I am half a year older than Lei Qi Jiudan, but my strength is still far behind his...

"But even so, I still don't want the association to give me preferential treatment just because I'm a female player.

“Although the Rank Management Regulations also stipulate that players can be promoted to the rank if they achieve corresponding results in women’s competitions, the rank that can be promoted is only the fifth rank, which is basically in line with the level of women’s competitions.

"At the higher levels, the Rank Management Regulations have always treated male and female players equally!
"I once heard a saying, 'If criticism is not free, praise is meaningless.'

"I think... if it is applied to the current situation, it can be called 'if the standards are inconsistent, honor is worthless.'

"If I accept the association's exception, then if someone says that my 9th dan is a 'water 9th', I will have no way to refute it.

“Female chess players are no worse than male chess players—I have always believed this in my heart!

"I don't want the Rank Management Regulations to be lenient in allowing female chess players to be promoted to the ninth rank just because of my small victory.

“Although I am still far from reaching the ninth level, I believe that as long as I keep working hard, I will definitely be able to reach the ninth level in the future!
"Even... catch up with and surpass Lei Qi Jiudan's footsteps!"

At this point, Rui Zhao couldn't help but look at the incumbent Chinese national players who had just won the [Most Valuable Player] and [Best Captain] awards below the stage.

At this moment, the live camera turned sharply to the young captain of the Dajing team, and saw Lei Qi also staring at the stage with an indescribable heavy and complex expression.

But... facing such gazes, the contemporary Zhaojun still did not retreat at all!
After expressing his attitude to the current top Chinese ranking, Rui Zhao could not help but look back at Shang Chaotian and continued:

“…So Chairman Shang!

"Please allow me to reject the association's kindness! Thank you very much!"

At this point, Rui Zhao suddenly bowed deeply to Shang Chaotian. The discussion in the entire auditorium suddenly became louder!
At this moment, Bai Yinhua, who was holding the mobile phone, was completely stunned!

He never imagined that the girl who seemed a little ignorant at the time would actually say such provocative words in such a grand occasion, in the face of everyone's discussions!

Moreover, he had almost foreseen...

What kind of controversy will Rui Zhao's words on the stage today bring to her!!!
No! Isn't it just an exceptional promotion?

The association is right in front of us, so why not just accept it?

What is her purpose in doing this?

But just as Bai Yinhua was secretly complaining about this Chinese number one sister because of her concern, she suddenly heard the student who had been stunned just now suddenly uttered a voice full of energy:

"Yes! Sister Rui Zhao is right!

"We girls are no worse than boys! I often beat those boys online! We don't need special care!"

……Eh?

Bai Yinhua was stunned when he saw the students' reaction, as if he had never expected Qu Hui to have such a reaction.

At this moment, Shang Chaotian, the chairman of the Chinese Chess Association, who was already on the top of the bar in the live broadcast, also knew that he had no other choice, and sighed:

"……I see.

“The association… respects your personal choice!

"We will stop the matter of promoting you to the ninth rank as an exception! We will also stop the matter of revising the Rank Management Regulations."

"Thank you for your understanding! Chairman Shang!"

Facing Rui Zhao's repeated thanks, Shang Chaotian nodded slightly with a complicated expression and continued:

"Then... congratulations again on winning the [Best Rookie] of this year's Weiqi League!
"At the same time, I wish you can be promoted to the highest rank in the near future according to the current Chinese Go Rank Management Regulations..."

"Rui Zhao, seventh stage!" (End of this chapter)
