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

Chapter 892 The storm is coming

[Two generations of leaders are both eliminated - will the queen of this Changqi Cup win the championship?! ]

[As the title says, after the four quarterfinals today, the top four of this Changqi Cup have all been decided - Monkey King, Xiu Bailing, Queen Zhao, and Little Witch.]

[Many other posts have talked about how terrifying it was that the Queen of Zhao played slowly and quickly to defeat Lin Laodeng, and how amazing it was that the little witch defeated the chess master Lei with a flying knife. I won’t mention this anymore.]

[I have to complain: In an open-ended competition, there are actually two female chess players in the top four. Is there something wrong?! ]

[But no matter what, with Xiao Lei being eliminated, Queen Zhaotian's chances of winning the championship have greatly increased - although the little witch's flying knife move today was very beautiful, it must be said that being able to use the flying knife in a crucial game itself is a matter of luck! ]

【Considering that she was completely crushed in the previous three-game match between Zhaojun and Empress Zhaotian, I think she was overthinking a bit if she wanted to defeat Empress Zhaotian in the three-game match.】

[As for the one who made it out of the lower half, it is likely to be a strength and weakness identifier. ]

[Although the Queen's record against her own Senior Brother Sun is quite dismal, the last time they met at the Tianyuan Tournament half a year ago, the odds were close to even. This time, she has a chance against Sun Yi in the final! ]

[And if we win this Changqi Cup, we can make up for the 300,000 yuan prize money difference (450,000 yuan for the champion, 150,000 yuan for the runner-up) in one go. It is not impossible to dream of a place in the world's strongest chess player competition, right?! ]

-

[Girls are awesome! This is truly a sport where men and women have equal talents! ]

[To be honest, the Queen is indeed a top chess player now, but the little witch entered the top four...ah this...]

[Lei Qi is fully responsible here! It's obvious that he didn't take the little witch seriously when he played chess today. He really deserved to be stabbed! ]

【That’s good! Barbie is cute now! 】

[At first, when I heard Xiao Yang often shouting things like 'Down with Lei Qi, kill Chu Jun', I thought this girl was just talking nonsense. Instead of shouting such slogans, she should work harder. ]

[But now I see...how can I know that they didn't work hard behind the scenes?! ]

【Well, let me be honest. 】

[Although I am a Witch fan, when Jingjing said this, she was probably just talking nonsense at first...]

[It was just that after being rolled up by Queen Zhaotian, he realized that it seemed possible to defeat Lei Qi and Chu Jun, so he took this goal seriously...]

[Then the little witch has returned the favor this time - it seems that the one who benefits the most from Xiao Lei's elimination is Xiao Zhao! ]

[If Xiao Zhao is eliminated in the semi-finals, then his place in the strongest chess player competition will indeed be in jeopardy...]

……

Indeed...

Even chess fans and netizens think that Rui Zhao has a good chance of winning the championship this time. It is normal for the Olympic Council of Asia to have new ideas!
At 7pm on the same day, in Dajing City, Huaxia Chess Academy.

After reading the latest hot post on the Yigu platform, Gou Shuci, who had just received a call from the leader of the General Administration, twitched his facial muscles slightly.

I had just warned Shang Chaotian on the night of the hearing to ask these male chess players to help, but less than a month later, this happened? !

Did he forget how Song Zhitai bullied him at the hearing? !
He immediately picked up the phone and called Shang Chaotian, and soon, Shang Chaotian's voice came from the phone:

"Good evening, Director Gou!

"You called me suddenly. Do you have any plans or instructions?"

Gou Shuci was not polite at all. He was usually gentle, but he got straight to the point and said:
"Good evening, Chairman Shang!

"I'm here to congratulate our two women for reaching the semi-finals of the Changqi Cup!"

"……what?"

Judging from Shang Chaotian's voice, he was still a little confused by Gou Shuci's words, but Director Gou was too lazy to be polite today and continued to speak in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh my! Our two generations of leaders were defeated by girls in the quarterfinals at the same time - now it seems that the opinions raised by the South Koreans at the hearing are not so outrageous?!
“After the hearing, I clearly hoped that our male chess players would work harder, but the girls set an example first!

“As expected, in Go, girls’ talent may indeed be higher than that of boys—and it’s not even necessarily limited to fast chess!

“I guess the Olympic Council of Asia will have similar thoughts after watching this competition?!”

"Uh……"

From Shang Chaotian's extremely embarrassed groaning, Gou Shuci seemed to see the other party sweating profusely through the phone:
"Director Gou, yes, it is like this...

"Rui Zhao is now competing for a spot in the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament. The results of each competition are very important. I definitely can't say anything too much to her...

"As for Xiao Yang's match, to be honest, I never thought she could possibly beat Lei Qi..."

"Chairman Hey Shang, wait a minute: did anyone ask you to say anything extra?"

Seeing that Shang Chaotian had somewhat misunderstood his meaning, Gou Shuci interrupted without hesitation:
"Let the girl deliberately lose the game to the man - I, Gou Shuci, can't afford to lose this man!"

"……ah?

"So, what you mean is..."

"Just like I said that night - you male national team players, do you have any shame?!

"They are just using the politically correct statement of 'gender equality' to mess things up!"

Gou Shuci, who was always gentle and polite, became excited:

"Do you know that the head of the General Administration has just called me!

"According to some of their secret information channels - after the two games today, the internal opinions of the Olympic Council of Asia are very, very unsatisfactory. If things go wrong, something serious might happen!!

"Tell me yourself, who is to blame for this? Is it because the girls performed too well?
"Isn't it all your fault that you national players are always trying to catch up with the national team?!"

"Uh……

"You are right to criticize, you are right to criticize!"

Shang Chaotian on the other end of the phone apologized repeatedly.

Seeing that the other party had made a thorough self-reflection and vented his emotions, Gou Shuci, who had calmed down a little, sighed, and his tone regained about 50% of his usual gentle and elegant feeling:

"…Forget it! Let's not talk about the previous part for now!

"For what's next, please tell me the truth, Chairman Shang:
"Will Rui Zhao win the Changqi Cup this time?"

After a moment's hesitation, Shang Chaotian truthfully explained his thoughts:

"...Xiao Yang will definitely not be able to stop her - there may be a little chance of winning a single game, and Rui Zhao will definitely win the semi-final of the three-game match! "As for the final, it will most likely depend on Sun Yi! But..."

"……but?"

"Well, Sun Yi is the lover of my student Liu Yuhong, and according to her...

"Ever since the Asian Games, Rui Zhao has begun to gain the upper hand in the slow chess practice with Sun Yi..."

"..."

Hearing this "bad news", Gou Shuci fell silent again, and after a long while he spoke up and made arrangements:
"Chairman Shang, please make sure you fly back to Dajing tonight.

"Tomorrow morning, let's go to the leaders of the General Administration to report and discuss solutions!
"Our two generations of Chinese leaders are also...

“It’s fine if I can’t beat the South Koreans, but how come I can’t even beat my own girl?!
"Don't let the two games they lost in the Changqi Cup cause any changes!!"

...

...

"...Ah, finally Yang Manjing resigned!
"This is how Rui Zhao defeated Yang Manjing, 9th Dan, for the fourth time in the past half month, and thus entered the finals of this Huaxia Changqi Cup!
"Yang Manjing, the ninth dan, can be said to have won an honorable defeat - although she still failed to climb over the insurmountable mountain of Rui Zhao, her victory over China's leader Lei Qi in the quarterfinals was indeed a classic match that will go down in the history of women's Go!
"Nanying, don't you think so?"

“Indeed, that was also a very classic flying knife game.

“To be honest, although Rui Jiudan and Yang Jiudan have caused us a lot of trouble in international competitions.

"But if we put aside the nation-state perspective and simply look at them as female chess players, they are both undoubtedly role models for young female chess players like us.

"Sister You En has been encouraging us to follow the example of Rui Zhao 9th Dan and Yang Man Jing 9th Dan, and not to be satisfied with just participating in women's events!
"I heard that the number of applicants to domestic Go training institutions has increased significantly compared to previous years, and most of the additional applicants are girls!
"So I think if our domestic female players can perform as convincingly as these two and face the best male players, it will definitely promote the revival of the domestic Go industry..."

Well...as expected...

Not only Yang Manjing and Uesaka Rei, but even Xu Nanying and the others... are starting to follow in her footsteps?
At 10:29 pm on October , in an apartment in South Korea’s capital.

Liu Shixian, who was replaying and watching the semi-final of the Hua Xia Chang Qi Cup, couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he listened to Xu Nanying's comments during the live broadcast.

In fact, in his opinion, there is still a big gap between Yang Manjing's level and Rui Zhao's. The quality of the chess game is indeed not very high in the eyes of this world's number one player, and there is no need to make a special trip to review and watch the game.

However, the fact that the two Chinese women's title holders defeated their country's leading players in the quarterfinals of the Changqi Cup made the current situation particularly sensitive, which forced Liu Shixian to carefully study the current situation of the two.

Although he needed to consider the family's stance, if the worst-case scenario really occurred, he would have no choice but to try to "risk the world's disapproval" and prepare some debate materials.

Just then, a quick cell phone ring rang - there was an incoming call.

Liu Shixian glanced at the incoming call number and immediately picked up the phone:
"Hello? Any news?"

The voice on the other end was very low, without any ups and downs:
“I guess so.

"Now the Olympic Council of Asia has finally reached a consensus - although it is certain that transgender athletes will be banned from participating in the next Asian Games in both the men's and women's categories, Rui Zhao's two gold medals will still be retained this time on the grounds of 'no retroactivity'.

“The final results are tentatively expected to be announced next week.”

"Phew...that's great."

Upon hearing the good news, Liu Shixian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - if possible, he still didn't want to get involved in this mess.

But while relaxing, Young Master Liu was also a little confused:

"But...didn't you say it was dangerous a few days ago?

"Why did things suddenly turn around?!"

"Ah!"

Hearing this question, the deep voice on the other side sneered, as if it was very amusing:

"This time, for this little girl, China has used a big move!

"According to what I have learned, China has sent a message to the Olympic Council of Asia through private channels - if Rui Zhao's two gold medals are stripped this time, the Chinese government is very likely to no longer apply to host any Asian Games or Asian Winter Games in the future..."

"……what?!"

Hearing this, even the well-informed young master of the Liu family, who had received elite education since childhood, was unusually surprised:

“Is this true?!

“Has it come to this?!”

"It's indeed true."

The voice on the other end still had a hint of smile in it:

"Although we immediately made a similar threat to try to scare the council, Huaxia said directly after learning about it: If we really don't want to hold it, it's not impossible for them to hold it for one or two more sessions. There was no room for discussion!

"After all, China has the confidence to say this, but no one would believe us even if we said it!"

"...

"……Hey!"

After a moment of silence, Liu Shixian couldn't help but laugh:

"I've heard that many of China's top leaders value Go very much. It seems that what they said is true!"

"Indeed! This time China has gone all out!"

The voice on the other side echoed, and then added:

"There's another thing you should know - although Rui Zhao's two gold medals were retained this time, Song Zhitai completely stumped the Chinese side at the hearing.

"In order to take care of our feelings, the Olympic Council of Asia will still publicly announce that women players participating in men's Go events violate the most basic competitive fairness - and this will definitely cause a huge public outcry.

"So according to what I understand, in order to reduce disputes, the Olympic Council of Asia will also release the video recording of the hearing when the arbitration results are announced."

"A videotaped hearing...?"

Upon hearing this news, the world's number one man, who had already learned the full story of the hearing from Song Zhitai, was startled again, then he sighed and said:
"what……

"Isn't this the result that Secretary Song is pursuing?
"However, I'm afraid this video...

"Then there will be another bloody storm in China!"
