"……What?!
"You said that the South Korean delegation reported that Rui Zhao's gender did not meet the competition requirements and demanded that our men's team and men's individual gold medals be revoked?!

"Tomorrow afternoon... there will be a multi-party hearing?!"

At 10 am on October 2nd, in the Zhongjing Asian Games Village.

After hearing the news from Lu Wenjie, Shang Chaotian, who had just packed his luggage and was about to go to the airport, was stunned. He even couldn't understand what his deputy said for a moment.

Although King Shang Qi had experienced the shamelessness of the Koreans in his early years, there had been no major friction between the two sides in recent years, so he felt that although the South Koreans on the opposite side had no righteousness, they at least had some face to themselves.

However...reporting female athletes participating in men's events?!
If you have any dignity at all, you won't do such a shameless thing!!!
"……no!
"Isn't it said that the men's events in the Olympics and Asian Games are essentially unlimited? Why can't women participate?!
"Besides, the Olympic Council of Asia and the Zhongjing Asian Games Organizing Committee didn't say anything when we signed up!"

"Uh... that being said...

"But this matter... is still a bit confusing!"

At this time, Lu Wenjie's expression was also very complicated. He patiently explained to his boss:
"In fact, the International Olympic Committee has never clearly stated whether it is allowed or not for female athletes to participate in men's events across genders. It only states in the Olympic Charter: 'Sports competitions should ensure competitive fairness through fair grouping (such as gender, weight class, etc.)'.

"As for each specific event, it is basically based on the regulations of the international sports federations of each event.

"For the sake of management convenience in events like athletics and swimming, the IAAF and FINA explicitly prohibit biological females from registering for the men's group..."

"But there is no such thing as an 'International Federation' in Go!"

Shang Chaotian interrupted immediately:
"Right now, the rules of our three countries have not been completely unified! The establishment of the so-called 'International Chess Federation' is even further away!"

"Correct!"

Lu Wenjie said slowly:
"So when Rui Zhao signed up for the two men's events, the Olympic Council of Asia and the Asian Games Organizing Committee asked for the opinion of the Dongying Chess Institute and directly agreed to Rui Zhao's registration request."

"What the hell are those bastards still yelling about?!"

Shang Chaotian looked puzzled:

“As the saying goes, ‘You can do anything unless it’s prohibited by law’!
“Since there is no stipulation that only men can participate in the men’s competition in this Asian Games, it is reasonable for us to sign up - not to mention that both the Olympic Council of Asia and the Asian Games Organizing Committee have accepted Rui Zhao’s registration!

"What is South Korea up to?!
"No! I need to call Liang Zihao and ask him clearly!"

"Hey! Forget it, Tian Ge. I've tried it before!"

Lu Wenjie sighed and said:

"I haven't been able to get through to the South Korean Chess Institute's chairman since early this morning, and I think it's probably still unanswered!
"I just contacted Zhao Libo, who is leading the South Korean team. He said that they were not aware of this matter. It was directly raised by the South Korean delegation. I don't know how much of it is true or false..."

"Forget it!"

Shang Chaotian interrupted his deputy with a hint of annoyance:
"Let's put aside those shameless South Koreans for now. Why did the Olympic Council of Asia accept this report?

"There are no problems with our procedures!"

"Uh...there must be no problem with the procedures."

Lu Wenjie's tone was filled with helplessness:
"But the key point now is that South Korea believes that the participation of transgender athletes in this event violates the most basic sportsmanship and competitive fairness, so the honors they have won should be revoked.

"And this is why the Olympic Council of Asia will hold a closed-door hearing tomorrow."

"???????"

After hearing this, Shang Chaotian's mind was full of question marks:
"No! Are they South Koreans mistaken?!
"Our transgender competition is for female athletes to compete in the male category, not the other way around - how does this affect the spirit of sports and fairness in competition?!

"You can't say that female players are naturally more advantageous than male players in Go, right?!!"

"Uh...what a coincidence, Brother Tian!"

Lu Wenjie raised his eyebrows, tried to tighten the muscles on his face and said:

"South Korea gave the Olympic Council of Asia the reason for the report...

“…This is it.”

...

…"Oh my god!
“‘Female players have a natural advantage over male players in Go’???!

"How dare these South Koreans say that!!!"

Half an hour later, in Jinling City, China, in the wedding room of Sun Yi and Liu Yuhong.

The little bird, who had just hung up the teacher's WeChat call, immediately started to curse:
“…Although I know that the Korean people have always been shameless, I never thought they could be so shameless!
"Don't they know that women are born with more trouble than men?!

"As a result, it would have been fine if Rui Zhao had won the men's individual gold medal this time, but they actually made such an outrageous report?!!
"He really deserves to be compared to that classic hand gesture!!!"

"Uh...Okay Yu Hong! Don't be angry!"

Sun Yi, who had just listened to the entire conversation between his wife and her teacher through the hands-free mode, consoled her repeatedly:
"Such an outrageous reason will definitely not affect Rui Zhao and my gold medal. They are just asking for trouble by doing this!

"Don't worry too much!"

"I certainly don't think such an outrageous report would get through!"

The former queen Mulan puffed up her lips and said:

“But the problem is…

"This is holding the teacher back!!"

Just as Liu Yuhong said, Shang Chaotian called just now mainly to express his apology.

The hearing will be held tomorrow afternoon. It concerns the two most dazzling gold medals of the Chinese delegation in this Asian Games. As the chairman of the chess association, he naturally cannot sacrifice public interests for personal ones, so he has to miss his student's wedding.

When Liu Yuhong thought of this, he became more and more angry:

"…I can understand that Rui Zhao can't come back this time. I can also reluctantly accept that Xiao Lei has to go and calm Rui Zhao down!

"But in the end, even the teacher is being entangled by these little bastards with such outrageous reasons. Tell me, am I angry?!

“We had originally planned for the teacher to be the guest speaker, but now we have no choice but to let Senior Brother Cai do it!
"I was planning to give the wedding bouquet to Sister Xuefei! But who knew she suddenly announced her engagement half a month ago, and she kept it a secret from us, catching me off guard!
"Why are we so unlucky at this wedding?"

"This, this is just a small episode!"

Although he felt that his luck had run out during the wedding preparations, Sun Yi once again comforted his wife:
"Haven't we suffered enough minor disasters and troubles before?
"Besides, a blessing in disguise! Sister Xuefei has found a husband, that's a good thing!
"As for the farce that happened in Korea, didn't Chairman Shang also say that the association intends to disclose this news to the national and even world media immediately?
"Rui Zhao is already a hot topic, and now that he has encountered someone like South Korea who is embarrassing him, he might become even more popular abroad!"

"...That's true."

The little bird pursed his lips and finally stopped struggling:
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking and get ready!

"There's still a lot of things to do!"

"Ah."

Sun Yi naturally agreed. But his wife's words just now reminded him:

"But if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten - what's the deal with sending the bouquet now? Should we just cancel it?

"After all, with Sister Xuefei's engagement, almost all of the people you have a good relationship with are no longer single..."

"Don't worry! I've already arranged it!"

Liu Yuhong patted his chest, looking very confident:

"The old one won't work, but we still have the young one!

"It's about time she was urged to do so!"

"…Eh? Little one?!"

Hearing this, Monkey King, who had not thought of a suitable candidate for a moment, suddenly fell into confusion.
