Chapter 7 Don’t rush over to deliver it yourself!

"...Teacher Lei, although this is an unwelcome request from me, I just want my daughter to lose miserably and stop having unrealistic dreams. Is this too much? Is it necessary to perfunctorily deal with me like this again and again?"

"Not too much! Of course not too much!"

Hearing Rui Guoquan's every word of condemnation, Lei Jingming echoed him repeatedly, and at the same time, his impression of Liao Xiang became even worse.

What is Liao thinking?
How could teaching a little girl a lesson turn out like this?

Most likely, this guy saw that the person on the other side was a pretty girl, so he just wanted to lose the game on purpose to please her!

I told Lao Yu a long time ago that this kind of person with greasy hair and powdered face is useless, but he didn't listen and kept saying something like "everyone has his own strengths"!
This is great! The father is angry!

"…Um, Mr. Rui, let me put it this way! I am also an old friend of Yu Qingguang, and his business is my business! I will take care of this for him today!
"As for me, I have won honors on the international stage on behalf of my country. I guarantee you as a world champion. You can rest assured!"

For Lei Jingming, mentioning his world championship from time to time when chatting with others is a passive locking skill.

"Great, great! With a respected elder like you here, I feel much more at ease!"

After receiving Lei Jingming's guarantee, Rui Guoquan immediately softened his tone, but he did not forget to put pressure on Liao Xiang again:
"It would be great if these young people could learn even a little bit of your pragmatic spirit!"

"Yeah, don't worry, I will definitely ask Old Yu to discipline Liao Xiang!"

After the two of them finished talking in private, Lei Jingming immediately walked up to Rui Zhao and asked, "Your name is Rui Zhao?"

Rui Zhao bowed his head and greeted: "Hello, Teacher Lei!"

This girl... is really well-educated.

Lei Jingming continued, "Rui Zhao, I understand your situation. But it is not easy to get promoted to a professional Go player!

"Today, the people who played chess with you before probably didn't play seriously. Let me play a game with you later. After this game, you can decide whether to pursue the rank or not!"

"Ah?" This time Rui Zhao finally showed an embarrassment: "Do I have to beat you first?"

"What? Divide first? You must be joking!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Jingming sneered, thinking that this little girl was really being treated so badly by Liao Xiang and the others that she didn't know her own place!

"I'll give you two pieces! As long as you can win, I think your father will definitely recognize that you have a talent for playing Go!"

"Ah?! No way, Mr. Lei!"

Hearing Lei Jingming's confident statement, Liao Xiang was stunned.

If you play me, I can give you a handicap, and if you play Rui Zhao, I can give you two handicaps!

Isn't this just a free gift?
I moved you here with great difficulty, please don't rush over to carry you off!

"Huh? What's wrong with that?" Lei Jingming glared at Liao Xiang with great dissatisfaction.

"Well, just now Rui Zhaofen and I played first, and she won in the end..." Liao Xiang didn't care about Lei Jingming's bad attitude towards him and hinted wildly.

But Lei Jingming didn't appreciate it at all: "That's because your level is not good enough!"

Liao Xiang's eyebrows twitched, and he gritted his teeth and advised: "Well, but if you play with me, you can only let me go first..."

Lei Jingming's veins popped up: "What? Do you want her, a little girl who taught herself Go, to compete with me, a world champion?"

"Well, I think it's not impossible. It's an equal exchange between chess friends..."

"Get out of here!"

Five seconds later, Liao Xiang walked out of the game room helplessly.

Jiang Lu, who was guarding the door, saw him come out and immediately stepped forward to ask: "Teacher Liao, are you okay? I just saw that Teacher Lei seemed very dissatisfied with you..."

Liao Xiang sighed: "It's too late to save him. Let's prepare to bury him!"

Jiang Lu was shocked: "No way?! Teacher Lei is so dissatisfied with you?" "Me? I don't care. I can explain everything to the teacher."

Liao Xiang glanced at Jiang Lu and said:

"I mean... prepare to lay a mine, teacher."

Jiang Lu: “…Ah?!”

...

"Teacher Lei, are we still using 'one hour, 30 seconds' as the time?"

In the chess room, Rui Zhao sat up straight again, placed two black pieces on the chessboard, and asked Lei Jingming carefully.

"So tight? And...what do you mean by 'continue using'?" Lei Jingming frowned again.

"This is the time that Teacher Liao and she used just now." Cheng Yuyang, who continued to act as the referee, interrupted.

"Tsk, I told you this kid isn't serious at all, even setting a time is so informal!"

Lei Jingming couldn't help but insult Liao Xiang again.

As for the time, he wanted to adjust it to a longer time, but then he thought that fast chess was always in the favor of the side with better chess skills, so he gave up the idea:
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I haven't eaten yet. I'll go eat something soon after I get off work..."

"Ok."

At this time, Lei Jingming thought for a moment and added, "Uh, by the way, Rui Zhao, let me say one more thing, don't take this game so seriously! It's a good thing to love Go, but you don't necessarily have to go professional. Being a Go fan has its own happiness.

"Well...if you lose this game and can't go professional, you still have the chance to play with us professional chess players in the future!
"It's not just us old guys. My son is the same age as you. I can think of a way to get him to come over and play the next game!"

Lei Jingming's intention in saying this was actually very simple. Seeing that Rui Zhao was just a little girl and the child of a senior executive of his financial sponsor, he was afraid that if he abused her too much, she would lose control of her emotions, so he made a pie in the sky first to calm her down.

Just as he said this, Cheng Yuyang's gaze towards him seemed to become more complicated.

Rui Zhao blinked and said in surprise: "Thank you! So your son also plays Go?"

But she didn't expect that Lei Jingming was stunned when he said this.

Even Cheng Yuyang next to her looked at her in disbelief.

Although Rui Zhao was a bit introverted, he was not stupid. When he saw the two people's reactions, he immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly smiled and said:

"Ah, I was stupid! You are the world champion, how could your son not know how to play Go!"

However, Lei Jingming still stared at her motionlessly, and Cheng Yuyang's gaze was even more exaggerated.

Eh? This time there shouldn't be any problem with what I said, right?

But, judging from their expressions, I seem to have made trouble again...

Woo--never mind! Let's play chess first!

Rui Zhao laughed awkwardly twice and forcibly broke the awkward silence: "Teacher Lei, how about we start?"

Lei Jingming stared at Rui Zhao for another two seconds and wanted to say something, but then he thought about it and thought Rui Guoquan was still beside him, so he swallowed his words. He casually took out a white piece from the chess box and knocked it on the corner of the chessboard.

This little girl, she plays Go and she hasn’t even heard of my son?
Is she from this world?! She must be from Mars!

However, Lei Jingming didn't know.

The Rui Zhao in front of him was indeed not from this world...
