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

"…I'm sorry! Rui Zhao!
"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble with what happened on the field in Tiangang before!"

"Ah! Uh, that...

"Please don't be like this, Chairman Shang! I, I don't have any troubles..."

At 3:18 p.m. on March , in a coffee shop near Wanyuan Times Community in Dongjiang City.

Faced with the chairman of the chess association who came all the way to Dongjiang today to apologize, Zhaojun, a celebrity who is not good at socializing, was obviously a little flustered.

Especially since Shang Chaotian bowed his head and apologized to her solemnly, Empress Zhaotian became even more restless:
"...When the chess piece was suddenly overturned, I was probably a little confused, but it didn't really affect anything...

"In fact, I originally wanted to imitate the first round of the first match and force Lin Jiudan to admit defeat quickly to boost our team's morale!
"He ended the game so early which was what I thought - it was useless in the end!
"Besides...this matter has nothing to do with you!"

"As the leader of the association, I definitely have my responsibilities."

Seeing Rui Zhao still acting well-behaved, Shang Chaotian said with some self-blame:
“Although the incident in Tiangang was caused by Lin Ruixin’s own failure to control his emotions, in the final analysis, it was the association that neglected the ideological and moral education of the chess players.

"Especially Lin Ruixin, he has good grades and is very popular. He attracted a lot of attention from outside the circle to our project before you.

“So for a long time, the association’s management staff, including me, have been somewhat protective and indulgent of his outrageous behavior, which has led to his developing such a temper.

"It has even come to this, and he still refuses to apologize to you publicly! It's totally unreasonable!"

At this point, Shang Chaotian became so angry that he slammed the table. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Lin Ruixin's stubbornness.

"Ah... I, I don't actually need to apologize!"

Seeing Shang Chaotian's angry face, Rui Zhao hurriedly tried to comfort him.

"Don't speak for him, you are just too kind-hearted!"

Shang Chaotian waved his hand and said:

"When the incident first happened, I reminded him to sincerely admit his mistake. But I didn't expect that he still insisted on not changing his ways and still had an extremely hostile attitude towards you!

"I just finished a meeting at the association before coming to Dongjiang this morning, mainly to discuss this matter. The vast majority of the executive committee members felt that this time they must teach Lin Ruixin a lesson!

"And the final result was... a six-month suspension for him.

"The penalty decision is now going through the process and will probably be officially announced tomorrow morning!"

"Ban, ban for half a year?!"

Rui Zhao was slightly surprised:
"Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't be able to qualify for the Sanshuang Cup, Tongge Cup, Miaojia Bailing Cup, and the Asian Games qualifiers?
"This is too..."

"It can only be said that he asked for a hammer and got it!"

Shang Chaotian sighed lightly and said:
“In fact, this result has already been forgiven!

"Some executive committee members who were not used to his words and deeds even proposed to 'ban him indefinitely until he truly repents'..."

After hearing what Shang Chaotian said, Rui Zhao swallowed his words back.

However, it can be seen that the live broadcast queen Zhaotian, who is supposed to be Lin Ruixin's "mortal enemy", does not seem to be happy at all about the serious incident involving Lin Ruixin. Instead, she seems to be worried about him.

Oh...how kind-hearted is this girl!

Shang Chaotian couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and wanted to persuade him again.

But when he thought about the incident with Bai Yinhua, it was Rui Zhao who agreed to meet and talk with him after defeating him in the City Cup, which made him decide to temporarily stop and not create new waves. It was hard for him to say that Rui Zhao's idea was problematic...

Thinking of this, the chairman of the chess association frowned slightly, changed the subject and said:
“Okay, that’s enough on this topic.

"There are two other things I want to mention to you today."

"...Two things?"

Hearing this number, the contemporary Zhaojun, who usually didn't ask about foreign affairs, was slightly stunned, but still nodded calmly and said:

"Please tell me."

"Well...it's about the next Lakeside Cup and the Asian Games women's team preliminaries.

“The association has discussed this internally. Although you are not exempt from the two team competitions, everyone knows that you are indispensable for both competitions.

"We also discussed this matter at the meeting this morning. We will write into the relevant regulations that 'those who have won the runner-up in the unlimited national competition or the top four or above in the World Go Championship in the past year will be directly exempted from the selection', so you don't have to go through these two preliminaries!"

"Ah... that's best!"

"The second thing may be a little embarrassing, but after Wen Jie's recent coordination with many parties, it is indeed only to this extent...

"It's like this: the Lakeside Cup and the Dragon Star Tournament have a schedule conflict."

"A conflict?"

"Yes."

"This year, due to the late Chinese New Year, the Asian Games and the selection for the Asian Games in various countries, the arrangement of some international and domestic events is very tight, and...some conflicts are inevitable and difficult to coordinate.

“For example, the Lakeside Cup this time was forced to be moved to May 6-12 and 14-20, so all the competitions can be completed within half a month - this is the time when the Dragon Star Tournament and the King of Kings Tournament were held in previous years.

"Originally, the women's side will hold the Lakeside Cup, and the men's side will hold the Dragon Star Wars and King of Kings. They will not affect each other, but the problem now is..."

At this point, Shang Chao glanced at Zhaojun, a famous figure in the Celestial Empire, and the meaning was obvious.

Although Rui Zhao was naive, he understood after thinking for two seconds after seeing this look:

"what……

"Is it because... I have to participate in both parties?" "Yes, yes."

Shang Chaotian gave a wry smile:
"This time, Shengjiang has agreed to postpone the King of Kings competition to June, after the first stage of the Asian Games preliminaries.

“但龙星战因为是亚运会选拔前的最后一个计算等级分的大规模比赛，实在无法再推后。最后定在5月17号预选，5月19号到6月2号举行。

“This is completely stuck before the first stage of the Asian Games qualifiers on June 6, there is no room for maneuver.

"But then, trouble comes...

"After winning the last few Weiqi League matches, your rating has reached 24th in the country, which is enough to participate in the Dragon Star Tournament preliminaries. And based on your style, you will definitely sign up, right?"

"Well, that's for sure."

"But... you have the task of serving as the captain in the Lakeside Cup."

King Shang Qi stated truthfully:

"If this Lakeside Cup is like the last one, and we can win without you, then everyone will be happy. But as long as the ice queen is still in the South Korean team, we can't be careless."

"So, what you mean is..."

"I have two ideas."

Since we were talking about this topic, Shang Chaotian naturally came with a plan:
"One is that you participate in both. But if the schedules of the two sides really conflict and you have to make a choice, you must give up the Dragon Star match for the sake of national honor.

"Whether for the association or the country, it is intolerable to register for an international team competition like the Lakeside Cup but ultimately miss the competition.

"But if you do that, you will probably give up halfway through the Dragon Star Tournament. Your current rating is probably on the edge of participating in the Asian Games men's selection. If you somehow fail to win one more Dragon Star Tournament, it will really hurt you.

"So, I discussed it with Wen Jie and Lao Kong. The second plan is that if you feel that the Dragon Star War is more important this time, we can completely understand if you don't participate in the Lakeside Cup!"

“Although there will probably be some rumors, you are a great contributor to our country in the tournament after all, and we have won the Lakeside Cup twice in a row, so the pressure from public opinion is not that great.

"If you decide not to participate, the association will fully support you."

"Look...which plan are you considering?"

"Ah... I'm not afraid of rumors. I basically don't care what people say online."

Rui Zhao answered softly while blinking his eyes continuously, as if he was recalling something.

Hearing Rui Zhao say this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but ask:
“So…are you planning to withdraw from the Lakeside Cup?
"If you are sure, then the association will implement it accordingly."

However, at this time Rui Zhao shook his head and asked a question that seemed slightly unrelated to the topic:

“Well, Chairman Shang.

"Dragon Star Wars... I remember it usually happens in the afternoon, right?"

Hearing this question, Shang Chaotian was a little confused as to why this silly girl suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully:
"Well, every match in the past has started at 2pm, including the preliminaries and this tournament."

"That's it!"

Rui Zhao clapped his hands subconsciously, and his eyes lit up, as if he had made up his mind:
"In this case……

"It doesn't seem like we have to choose between the two sides, right?"

"……Eh?"

...

...

Three days later, the Chinese Go Association officially announced the specific schedule for this year's Lakeside Cup qualifiers and main competitions.

Yang Manjing, who won six consecutive games in the last competition, and Rui Zhao, who holds the title of [Celebrity], were exempted from selection and confirmed to participate in the competition. Naturally, there are only three preliminary places left.

Because the association had announced the new exemption rules for the women's team competition two days ago, but had not yet announced the specific schedule of the Dragon Star Tournament, most chess fans did not notice anything unusual about the selection of Rui and Yang.

However, the heavy penalty of half-year suspension for the leading chess player Lin Ruixin, announced two days ago, caused widespread heated discussion in the chess world.

A large number of Xin fans expressed their dissatisfaction with their idol missing out on the opportunity to participate in three world championships and the Asian Games, which caused quite a stir in many Go communities.

But once the punishment is imposed, how can it be easily changed just because of some public opinion storms!

Therefore, the group of smart people can only vent their emotions on the Internet, but they get nothing but ridicule from Zhao fans, so they have to play dead first and wait for their brother's suspension to expire before "repairing the old mountains and rivers".

With Lin Ruixin banned, Rui Zhao has no games to play and no games to play. The two most popular stars in the circle are inactive. After the discussion about Lin Ruixin's punishment has passed, all Go forums and communities seem to be much calmer.

Even when Lei Qi led the Dajing team to successfully defend the Weiqi League championship by defeating Qiantang with a main player win, it did not cause any waves.

The focus of the crowd is still the San Shuang Cup which starts in early April.

Everyone is waiting to see whether the Chinese team can stop the extremely powerful young master of the Liu family in the past six months. And whether Liu Shixian, who just turned 26 and is at the peak of his career, can complete three consecutive championships in the World Championships, occupying the second place in the historical World Championships, and then challenge another miracle of the best Choi Myung-ho in history - four consecutive World Championships.

Until March 3th, a seemingly ordinary day.

A shocking piece of news came suddenly without any warning:

Rei Uesaka, who has been growing rapidly since she was promoted to professional professional, played her best performance in a major tournament in the second round of the fan-air battle this year.

He took advantage of the Ice Queen's mistake in the middle game and after a fierce battle of 258 moves, he narrowly defeated Kim Woo-eun by half a point with white and advanced to the semi-finals!

The Ice Queen’s absolute dominance in the women’s world championships lasted for four full years…

This is the end. (End of this chapter)
