Chapter 32 Can I Have Both?
Chapter 32 Can I Have It All?
[System message: Game over, Black has 74 points, White has 72 points, Black wins by 2 points]
As this message popped up on the screen in front of him, Rui Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this is a fast game of "30 minutes, 20 seconds". Although the opponent's offensive is not too sharp, playing a game of chess is extremely brain-intensive.
This sister named Zou Yang is very awesome!
She must be the most powerful female chess player I have ever met, right?
When I was on Earth before, there was no female chess player I met who would let me play with her first!
Just as Rui Zhao was sitting in front of the computer and sighing, he heard hurried footsteps outside the room. Two seconds later, Zou Yang rushed in from the door.
"Ah! Sister Zou Yang..."
"Rui Zhao!"
Without waiting for Rui Zhao to finish her greeting, Zou Yang rushed to Rui Zhao, grabbed her hand and said:
"You must play Go, and you must keep playing! You know what? Your current level is amazing! It's only a matter of time before you become a top female professional player! You must keep playing!"
"Ah, I know that, I know that! I will definitely find a way to continue playing Go!" Rui Zhao replied hurriedly.
In fact, many people had said something similar to Zou Yang to Rui Zhao in his previous life, and Rui Zhao had always used it to encourage himself and worked hard to practice chess.
However, her extreme fear of the qualifying tournament ruthlessly destroyed almost all of her efforts.
After all... unless your strength is so amazing that it shocks everyone, if you are just at an ordinary professional level, everything will be in vain if you can't reach a certain level.
"That's good!"
Zou Yang was very pleased to hear Rui Zhao's answer, but then she realized that everyone in the living room must be waiting for them, so she immediately pulled Rui Zhao and walked into the living room.
"Let's go! Let's go meet your parents!"
“Ah? Eh—”
Zou Yang strode back to the living room. At this time, everyone in the living room knew that the chess game was over and was eagerly waiting.
Seeing Zou Yang and Rui Zhao come out, Yu Qingguang, as a teacher, wanted to ask Zou Yang about his experience first, so as to lead to the next topic.
But before he could open his mouth, Zou Yang brought Rui Zhao to Rui Guoquan and his wife and pleaded very seriously:
"Mr. Rui, Ms. Li! Your child's Go skills are truly amazing! Please let her play professional Go!
"It took Liu Yuhong and I four or five years to reach her current level after we were promoted to professional professional!
"Even if we just look at age, I was only one year ahead of her in reaching the same level of chess skills! And this is when I had long-term professional teachers teaching me!
"So, please consider letting Teacher Yu continue to teach Rui Zhao Go! As long as she has a professional and experienced teacher to teach her, it will only be a matter of time before she becomes the number one female Go player in China!"
After saying this, Zou Yang did not forget to bow deeply to Rui Guoquan and his wife.
Li Xinyin was stunned by this set of actions, and even Rui Guoquan, who had seen many big scenes, was unable to recover for a while.
Even though he had heard many times from Shang, Lei, Yu and others how talented their daughter was in Go, he still had some doubts as to whether what they said was just a compliment.
But this morning, a series of actions by Zou Yang, a top female Go player, really shocked him.
Zou Yang was fine and gentle when he met his daughter, but when he confirmed that his daughter was a beautiful woman, he immediately became excited and expressed his wish to play chess with his daughter.
That would have been fine, but she came back immediately after she finished her game and begged me excitedly to let my daughter continue playing chess.
With such a reaction, Rui Guoquan would never believe that there was a script.
"Yangyang! Sit down and talk properly! How can you be such a good guest?"
Seeing that Zou Yang's behavior had made the host feel helpless, Yu Qingguang quickly called his student to stop. Zou Yang then realized that he was a little excited, and immediately calmed down:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was just too excited... But Rui Zhao is really, really talented! This kind of talent may not appear once in more than ten years!"
"It takes more than a decade for one to emerge!" Lei Jingming couldn't help but snort: "According to her own words, she only taught herself Go for two and a half years, and she didn't even have a teacher to teach her!"
"what--?!"
Zou Yang opened his mouth wide and looked at Rui Zhao, who had no choice but to nod awkwardly.
This time, Zou Yang was the one who couldn't do anything, and his eyes looked a little dazed.
“…Is this still a human?!”
"Okay, Yangyang! This is the reality. If you are tired of playing chess, just sit down and take a rest!"
Yu Qingguang stood up slightly and pulled Zou Yang, who was already in a trance, to sit down on the sofa, then took over the conversation and said:
"Well, Mr. Rui, Ms. Li, you two may have been a little worried about what we, the old guys who have retired to the second line, said before, but Zou Yang is now ranked first in the domestic women's rating, and is undoubtedly a top-tier chess player. She has expressed her opinion, so you don't have to doubt your daughter's talent at all.
"As for your daughter's career development, Ms. Gang Qin has also talked a lot with you two. With her conditions, her future is bright no matter what! Therefore, in order for your daughter's talent to be fully utilized, I also implore you to hand Rui Zhao over to our Muhu Dojo! I have experience in training Zou Yang before, and I believe I can do better with Rui Zhao!"
"Old Yu, what you said is not entirely correct!"
Qin Xiaoxue decisively interrupted and said:
"When you were teaching Zou Yang, your strength hadn't deteriorated too much, so you were still able to teach Zou Yang. But now you're only at the fourth or fifth level, so what can you do to teach Rui Zhao?
"Mr. Rui, we still hope that you can hand Rui Zhao over to us. My husband is still competing in the first-tier competitions, and my son's performance is pretty good... Rui Zhao is already very strong now. What she needs is not dojo-style teaching, but guidance from a real master..."
Yu Qingguang pressed his palm towards Qin Xiaoxue and said, "Xiaoxue, although my strength is not that good now, I have still brought out many students over the years. As long as I say a word, they will be my sparring partners!"
"Old Yu, stop joking!" Qin Xiaoxue chuckled, "To teach a student to be a top chess player, it takes more than just a few or a dozen games! He needs thousands of high-level games!
"You can call students from time to time, but do you have to call them every day? No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't do that!"
The muscles on Yu Qingguang's face tightened slightly: Qin Xiaoxue was not wrong.
However, he also has a response.
"But if I play against Lao Lei every day, that won't be good! It will easily make Rui Zhao's chess style monotonous and his thinking rigid!
"As for Lei Qi... you can't let your precious son spend too much time with students!"
Qin Xiaoxue listened and rarely refuted: What Yu Qingguang said is also true.
During Lei Jingming's career, he had some concerns about accepting students because of his son's situation, so he was unwilling to accept any of them.
It was not until the last two years when my son made great progress in learning chess and was in a good mood that I was able to basically resolve the problem in my heart and began to think about taking in students to make up for the regret.
But he had never accepted any students, which meant that he didn't have any long-term helpers. This was a huge difference from Yu Qingguang, who had both students and teachers in the dojo.
As the two sides were arguing, a clear, yet cautious voice suddenly rang out:
"Um... can I have both?"
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. Who else could the person who spoke be other than Rui Zhao? !
I have been on the [New Books in the Library] page these past two days. As expected, the number of books I read and collected is increasing, but it is quite slow...
【Strong Female Protagonist】+【Go Story】together is too niche. And before publishing the book, I had expected that writing a strong female protagonist on the male channel of Qidian would probably be unpopular. But I think this writing style has its merits, so I still insisted on publishing it.
But it doesn’t matter. I am very calm. My goal is to finish it successfully. As for income, it would be best if I can get it, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t.
If you think that the writing is good so far, can you occasionally leave encouraging comments to make me more motivated? Thank you~
