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

To be honest, Lei Qi naturally had complicated feelings about the fact that his "old enemy" had actually created a record that was not limited to the three East Asian countries and could truly be called a world-class record.

Thinking back to when the two of them had fought together as pioneers in the ring match, and watching the wonderful performance of the girl of the same age, he was secretly glad that the other party was, after all, just a girl, with a natural limit, and theoretically would not pose a real threat to him.

But at the moment, being a daughter is not a constraint at all for the incumbent celebrity, but rather just a footnote that highlights his greatness!
It can even be said that Rui Zhao single-handedly shook the perception that women's Go skills were inferior to men's for thousands of years, and brought women's Go into a whole new era!

How should I compete with such an "old enemy" who can be called a pioneer of the times?
Thinking of this, Lei Qi, who had just won the Asian Games gold medal on his chest, couldn't help but lower his eyes, trying to sort out his tangled mood.

Maybe... Liu Shixian is right.

I really took her too seriously...

Didn't I already know that she was an extremely good Chinese chess player and also an extremely outstanding woman of the same age?

But why...

Why do I still treat her as my "enemy" and someone I must defeat?

For a moment, Lei Qi was a little confused.

He always believed that he had already won the title of "Go Saint" and fully understood how brilliant and admirable the contemporary Concubine Zhaojun was.

Logically, the turmoil of the 2023 Chess Saint Tournament has completely subsided, and the competitive spirit towards this strong opponent should have faded long ago...

But why... am I still struggling with this?
Is it because her increasingly powerful chess skills make him instinctively want to compete with her?
Theoretically, this is possible. But Lei Qi knows: this is probably not the answer.

Because even when facing the obviously stronger Liu Shixian, he had never had such a mentality. It even seemed that it was because of his "archenemy" that he was more eager to defeat the number one person in the world.

So, what is this...

But just as Lei Qi was staring in deep thought, the voice of the person he was thinking of suddenly came into his ears!

"Leiqi Ninth Stage! Let's go quickly!
"If I don't leave now, I'm going to be entangled by them!"

"what?"

Lei Qi had just come to his senses when he was grabbed by his rival and started running quickly towards the players' rest area. Behind him, a large group of reporters were jogging after him!

Lei Qi was even more confused now, and hurriedly followed and asked:
"No, no! Rui Zhao!

"What's the matter?!"

"I do not know either!"

Rui Zhao puffed up his lips and said:

“For some reason, today’s reporters kept asking questions!
"Didn't we agree to only answer three questions? Why do they keep asking?

“I’ve already told you that I have to hurry up and prepare for the men’s individual event starting tomorrow, but you still keep asking, so I have to run anyway!

"I'm not stupid!"

"..."

When Empress Zhaotian's "classic saying" appeared again, Lei Qi could not help but be speechless for a moment, and then asked again:

"But if that's the case... then why are you pulling me?!"

"Hmm? If I run away, won't they naturally come after you?"

Rui Zhao said without realizing there was anything wrong:

"You will also be competing in the men's individual event tomorrow morning, so you probably don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of reporters asking you questions, right?

"Then I have to take you, Lei Qi Jiudan, with me!"

…I didn’t set the record! Why should I run? ! !

Hearing this, Lei Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But for some reason, Xiao Lei Jiudan felt inexplicably comfortable with this unnecessary consideration of the contemporary Zhaojun.

Indeed...tomorrow, there will be men's individual events!
Don't think too much! At least this time...

Should I meet her in the final?

...

...

"... Director Gou, you mean...

"Media from all over the world are paying close attention to the men's individual Go events in this Asian Games?!!"

At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, in a room in the Chukyo Asian Games Village in Japan.

After hearing what Gou Shuci, the director of the chess and card management center who came to visit suddenly, had just explained, the chairman of the chess association, Shang Chaotian, was quite confused.

"That's right!"

Seeing that Shang Chaotian looked a little bit unbelieving, Gou Shuci emphasized again:
“Now, not only the media in the three East Asian countries, but also the mainstream media in Europe and the United States are paying close attention to this men’s individual event.

"Ah, of course, there's nothing more to it!
"The main purpose is to remind you to be careful not to let the contestants be influenced by the media. Also, pay attention to some details of the competition and don't create any overseas public opinion."

"Ahh, that's for sure!"

Shang Chaotian quickly agreed, but after answering, he couldn't help but ask one more question:
"But Director Gou... is it that serious?
"After all, Go is just a niche sport popular in three countries..."

"How can this not be the case?"

Gou Shuci quickly shrugged and interrupted:
“Chairman Shang, you may be too devoted to the Go project itself and don’t know much about the situation in Europe and the United States!

"You know, they love to stir up trouble about things like women's rights and equality! They are eager to make a fuss about even the smallest things!

"As a result, Rui Zhao, a real girl, won the gold medal in a men's event with a perfect record. For those groups who like to talk about 'minority rights' and 'female values', this is a perfect example they have been waiting for!
"And now some people in Europe and America still doubt the value of this team gold medal, and there are many wars of words on social media. So the men's individual event that Rui Zhao is about to participate in naturally becomes the best testing ground. Do you think these media can not report it quickly?!"

After hearing this, Shang Chaotian finally came to his senses.

Indeed, when a girl wins a gold medal in a men's team event with five male chess players, the first impression people give is that this girl is just acting as a thigh pendant.

If Rui Zhao can also achieve outstanding results in the men's individual events, then all doubts will naturally disappear. So it is not surprising that the men's individual events this time have received unprecedented attention.

Seeing Shang Chaotian nodded slightly, Gou Shuci understood the situation and took the opportunity to add:
"...Ah, of course! Those monsters and demons abroad cannot be compared with our women's liberation movement under the bright red flag.

“However, being able to receive widespread attention from European and American media is a great opportunity for the overseas promotion and internationalization of Go!

"Right now, the General Administration leaders have already notified the comrades in the Propaganda Department. I think the application you made earlier for [Weiqi Xiaozhao] to open a social media account on the Internet will be approved in the next two days!

"That Xiao Ai is an expert in new media. I think you can take advantage of this wave of overseas popularity and let her make the most of it!"

“This, this is really great!
"I will convey it as soon as possible!"

Although he heard that Ai Jianan had been very busy recently for the upcoming Zhao Miao Cup, facing the arrangements of the leadership and such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Shang Chaotian did not hesitate to give Miss Ai more.

——At worst the association can send more people to help her!
"…Okay! That's all I have to say!
"I hope that China can win all three gold medals, both as a group and as individuals!"

After saying this seemingly strange statement, Gou Shuci did not sit for long and immediately found a reason to leave.

Shang Chaotian naturally sent Director Gou out, then returned to his desk and took out his cell phone.

Looking at the men's individual event draw results that were just sent back on his phone, the chairman of the chess association fell into deep thought for a moment, and it was unknown what he was thinking about...
