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

Well……

She is putting on makeup...why hasn't she finished it yet?
Twenty minutes later, in the auditorium of Tongge Hotel.

Seeing that the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the Tongge Cup was about to begin and the host had already walked onto the stage, Lei Qi glanced at the empty seat next to him and couldn't help but mutter something in his heart.

Before, on the rooftop of Tongge Tower, when Sun Yi asked why Rui Zhao didn't come over immediately, Shang Chaotian just said that Rui Zhao was probably putting on makeup.

But when everyone was surprised and asked why Rui Zhao was wearing makeup, Shang Chaotian and Lu Wenjie kept it a secret, saying "You'll know after the award ceremony starts" and refused to reveal anything. So Lei Qi had no choice but to go to the auditorium and take a seat with his questions.

But who would have thought that even when the award ceremony was about to begin, Rui Zhao was still nowhere to be seen, which made the reigning chess master of China a little concerned.

Thinking of this, Lei Qi subconsciously looked towards the seats of the champion and runner-up in the front row, only to see that Liu Shixian, who won the runner-up, was still sitting in his seat.
If Liu Shixian was here, then she must have really gone to put on makeup...

Otherwise, I would worry whether she was comforting Liu Shixian... After all, she seems to be very gentle to everyone.

But she is a Chinese chess player after all. How could it look like for her to comfort South Koreans?

Lei Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his slightly agitated heart finally calmed down a little.

But speaking of makeup...

It seems... I've never seen her wearing makeup!

While recalling, Lei Qi couldn't help but mutter another sentence in his heart.

She's obviously a girl in her early twenties, but she never even wears makeup...

Is this... spending all your time on chess?

No wonder she can use the flow much more deeply than I did, but I can't use it at all now...

I am really outdone by her!

That's right...

What happened this time that made her, who never wears makeup, put on makeup this time?
And she puts on makeup so carefully!
Just as Xiao Lei Jiudan lowered his eyes to think, the host who had just come on stage reminded him:
“Dear leaders and guests!
"The closing ceremony and award ceremony of the 3rd Tongge Cup World Go Open will begin soon!

"Please return to your seats as soon as possible, thank you!"

After this reminder, the small noise in the auditorium stopped and the scene quickly became quiet. Lei Qi also frowned and took the initiative to send a WeChat message to his old enemy.

[Rui Zhao, the closing ceremony has begun. Haven't you finished your makeup yet? ]

In fact, Lei Qi did not expect to call the contemporary Zhaojun over when he sent this WeChat message.

Not to mention that many girls don't look at their phones when putting on makeup. Even if they do, that quick chess Athena often doesn't reply to WeChat messages for a long time. The reason why he sends the message is that he has the idea of ​​"trying his luck".

But who knew that this time the dates would fall down quickly:
[It's already done! I'm doing the questions in the background now! ]

...backstage?
Why did she go backstage?!

Xiao Lei Jiudan was a little confused for a moment.

Seeing that everything was ready, the host on the stage officially read out the opening remarks, announcing the official start of the closing ceremony and award ceremony.

After the opening remarks, it was naturally the turn for the leaders to give speeches as per usual practice. The leaders from Zhejiang, Hangzhou Province and Gezhou City took turns to take the stage to deliver speeches. The level of their speeches was quite high, which showed the level of importance the local government attached to the event.

This Tongge Cup received unprecedented attention, and in the end a new Chinese world champion was born. It also prevented the world's number one South Korean from completing the feat of "winning the World Championships four times in a row" on China's doorstep. This is already a very satisfactory result for China.

Therefore, although the speeches were basically official documents, all the leaders at all levels praised the Tongge Cup and expressed their support for further expanding the investment in Go events! The positive attitude conveyed made the Go players present quite excited and expectant.

After the local leaders finished their speeches, Shang Chaotian, chairman of the chess association, was also invited to the stage to speak.

However, just when everyone thought that Shang Chaotian would probably express his gratitude and say some polite words as usual, Shang Qi Wang did not beat around the bush and quickly got straight to the point:
“Hello, distinguished guests and media friends!

"Regarding the precious spiritual wealth and far-reaching influence that this 'Tongge Cup' World Go Open has brought us, the two leaders who have just come on stage to deliver speeches have made profound comments and summaries for us, and expressed their earnest hopes for the future development of our Chinese Go." "Inheritance has always been one of the important themes in the development of Go, a treasure of the Chinese nation.

"And now, as the third Tongge Cup World Go Open is coming to a successful conclusion, I am very pleased to announce to you:

"After this year's 'Tongge Cup' National Go Ranking Tournament, there will be a brand new event coming up for everyone!"

A brand new event?
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of discussion at the scene.

Although Go is favored by local governments for their cultural and sports achievements because of its lower competition costs compared to other sports, it is not uncommon to launch a new competition from time to time.

But in a competition, Shang Chaotian chose to make the announcement personally at the closing ceremony of the Tongge Cup, which was the focus of public attention and attended by many leaders. The Chess Association naturally attached great importance to this, which made everyone present look forward to it.

Could it be... there is a new world series?

Lei Qi, who was still concerned about why Rui Zhao was in the background, made a silent judgment.

Shang Chaotian had no intention of keeping everyone in suspense, and after raising everyone's expectations, he slowly spoke the following passage:
“…Jointly organized by the People’s Government of Gezhou City, Huaxia Go Association, and Jian’an Online Entertainment Agency Co., Ltd.! Exclusively sponsored by China Merchants Bank!

"The first 'Zhao Miao Cup' Chinese Professional Go Rookie League Qualifiers will be officially held at Tongge Tower on July 7, one day after the Dan Qualifying Tournament ends!
"At that time, we welcome all young professional chess players in China, including those who have just been promoted to first-level players, to sign up and participate in the competition!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Qi was stunned on the spot - and the first reaction of all the other people present was the same.

"Zhao Miao Cup"...

China Professional Go Rookie League???!
Rookie League?! This...

What the hell is this?!
However, before everyone started whispering and discussing, the chess association chairman Shang Chaotian turned his body to the side on the stage, and a short promotional cartoon began to play on the big screen in the auditorium.

The camera slowly moves forward, and an antique Go board appears in the center of the screen. A few peach blossom petals slowly fall from the sky above the board, creating a tranquil and elegant atmosphere. In the background with a classical Chinese ink painting style, the new landmark building of Gezhou City, Tongge Tower, stands proudly.

Then the scene switched, and a cartoon-like Q-version cat-eared girl dressed in traditional clothes, holding a fan, lightly jumped to the side of the chessboard, with a sweet smile, gentle and moving, which made people admire her youthful cuteness, but also gave people a very familiar feeling...

"This is……

"Rui Zhao?!!!"

Seeing this, Lei Qi couldn't help but blurt out in a low voice!

Yes.

The image of the Q version girl in the picture is exactly the same as the contemporary Zhaojun! The only difference is that she has a pair of fluffy cat ears compared to the original!
The other people at the scene also immediately recognized who the prototype of this girl was, and there was an immediate burst of discussion and surprise at the scene.

But this is not over yet, the animation is still playing.

Soon, the lucky cat mascot, which is very famous in China, especially on Bilibili, appeared playfully from the other side of the chessboard in its signature cute pose, wearing a small hat and wagging its tail, holding two boxes of chess pieces and waving to Xiao Ruizhao.

——The mascot of China Merchants Bank, “Xiao Zhao Miao”!!!
Lei Qi's eyes widened at this moment, and he was so surprised that he didn't know how to react. The discussion in the venue became more and more heated!

In the picture, Xiao Ruizhao, seeing Xiao Zhaomao, elegantly invites him to play chess with him. The man and the cat sit on both sides of the chessboard respectively.

When it came to the critical point, Xiao Zhao Miao pretended to think and gently fiddled with the chess piece with his claws. Suddenly, he had an idea, as if he had thought of a good move, and then he quickly placed a piece.

Xiao Ruizhao responded with a more focused look and a gentle smile, as if to say, "Come on! Let me see how powerful you are!"

At this moment, the chessboard background gradually faded, revealing the playful and cute logo of the "Zhao Miao Cup" China Professional Go Rookie League. Xiao Ruizhao and Xiao Zhao Miao stood side by side at the bottom of the Tongge Tower, holding up the trophy together, with smiles of victory and joy on their faces.

At this time, the background music gradually became louder and subtitles appeared on the screen:

【Zhao Miao Cup, waiting for you to fight! 】

[CMB and Xiao Zhao work together to support the new generation of Chinese Go players! ] (End of this chapter)
