Chapter 38: Temporary Silence
Chapter 38: Temporary Silence
He...he gave up!
Rui Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the system message.
This tone is for Lei Qishu.
Although she had a great advantage in the game, she was still a little nervous towards the end.
The reason is simple: White lost this game in a very ugly way, especially when there were so many people watching in the game room...
Not to mention that Lei Qi also has a golden ID representing the world champion!
Although Rui Zhao knew that Lei Qi intended to test and train her, if she put herself in his shoes, she would probably have to try hard not to cry if she were the white chess piece!
As expected of someone who won the world championship at the age of 17! He has a good mental quality!
Rui Zhao admired Lei Qi from the bottom of her heart. She quickly moved her mouse to the golden ID of [Dao Tu Jian Qi], intending to add him as a friend to show her respect.
However, she didn't expect that just as she was about to send out a friend invitation, [Dao Tu Jian Qi] left the game room without saying a word.
Eh? What's going on?
Rui Zhao was a little dumbfounded.
This, this is because the time for practicing chess is too tight, so right after teaching myself I have to rush to the next game, and even forget to add my friends?
He really is worthy of being the world champion at the age of seventeen!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone who works harder than me!
Rui Zhao admired him a little in his heart, and at the same time made up his mind to encourage himself with Lei Qi.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Zhao Zhao, you've finished playing chess with Teacher Xiao Lei, right? There's a phone call here, come and answer it!"
It was Rui Guoquan's voice.
Hey, Dad, how did you know I had finished downloading?
Rui Zhao was a little confused, but he didn't think too much about it and immediately ran over to open the door.
"Dad! What's the call?"
"Chairman Shang of the Chinese Chess Association." Rui Guoquan replied with a smile.
"Chairman Shang?!"
Although he had not had time to look up Shang Chaotian's life, over the past few days, Rui Zhao still knew that the current chairman of the Chinese Chess Association was named Shang Chaotian.
And this Chairman Shang is also the one who gave himself the account [You Feng Lai Yi].
"…What does he want from me?"
"Oh, Chairman Shang has heard of your extraordinary talent before. Today, he also learned that you have been accepted as a student by teachers Lei and Yu. He is very happy and has come here specially to encourage you!" Rui Guoquan smiled.
"Oh oh, okay!"
Rui Zhao hurriedly took the speakerphone from his father and said, "Hello, Chairman Shang!"
"Hello Rui Zhao! Congratulations on becoming my disciple today!"
A calm and elegant middle-aged male voice came from the phone.
"Teacher Yu is a very experienced Go training expert, and Lei Jiudan has maintained a very high competitive level. It is really a great fortune to be trained by two such teachers at the same time. You must cherish it!"
"Don't worry, Chairman Shang! I may not be smart, but when it comes to hard work, I am definitely not inferior to anyone from childhood to adulthood!"
Rui Zhao quickly expressed his opinion, looking extremely serious.
It was this statement that made the smile on Rui Guoquan's face freeze.
My goodness! Has my daughter become so good at lying now?
Just open your mouth and say it! And you don't even blush or feel nervous!
"Well! That's a great attitude!" Shang Chaotian praised, "Go is a very pure thing. There is no other way except to work hard. And you have to believe that all the efforts you put into Go will definitely be rewarded!"
"Yeah, I've always thought so!"
After encouraging Rui Zhao, Shang Chaotian suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another matter.
"Oh, by the way! There is one more thing I want to tell you - didn't I give you a 9D account [You Feng Lai Yi] the day before yesterday?"
"Well, I also want to say thank you! With a 9D account, I can play against very good people directly, without having to spend time training myself!"
"Ah, I'm glad I can help!" Shang Chaotian on the other end of the phone said politely.
"...But, there is something wrong with my account."
"Situation? What's the situation?"
"Oh, that's it! This account is an internal account of the chess association. It is a public property after all.
"You used this account to play chess with Lei Qi yesterday, causing quite a stir. It was also seen by a leader from the General Administration of Sports. He happened to have an impression of the account [You Feng Lai Yi] from a previous chess association event, so he immediately called me over to question me, which made me very embarrassed..."
"Ah?" Rui Guoquan frowned and interrupted: "A leader from the General Administration actually came to question you about a small account? You are making a big fuss out of nothing!"
"Uh, that... Oh! I have a history with that leader from the General Administration."
"Ah! No wonder!"
Rui Guoquan revealed an expression of "I see" only after hearing this.
"So, Mr. Rui, I have to return the [You Feng Lai Yi] account right away. Also, please don't disclose the fact that Rui Zhao used the [You Feng Lai Yi] account to anyone else. I'm afraid it will cause trouble again!"
Rui Guoquan immediately patted his chest and said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry! I, Rui Guoquan, will definitely follow our Director Qian and fully support the work of the Chess Association!"
"Thank you for your help! If Rui Zhao has any questions about professional Go in the future, please feel free to ask me as long as I can help!"
"Well, then I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of my daughter..."
"It's just a small matter, no need to thank me."
Shang Chaotian paused, then said to Rui Zhao:
"One more thing, Rui Zhao, don't try to contact Lei Qi for the time being. His chess saint competition starting on the 18th of next month is very important, and there will be a national championship starting at the end of July. He must concentrate on preparing for the competition during this period. There is no time to waste. Do you understand?"
"Oh oh, okay!"
Rui Zhao responded quickly. She was not one who wanted to cause trouble to others.
Hmm...Lei Qi is indeed very busy!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone offline without even saying hello to me.
...
...
On the evening of May 5nd, in a group chat of four people that had just been formed.
【永朝南天】: Old Yu, I have already made my decision about the Rui family, what about you? @余光
[Yu Guang]: I have already informed Yangyang and Liao Xiang, so there won’t be any problem.
【Yu Guang】: Lao Lei, how are you doing? @Lightning Thunder
[Thunder and Lightning]: It's okay. Lei Qi locked himself in the room for a while after playing chess. Then he came out to apologize to me and ate something. However, he looked like he didn't want to say anything. Now he went back to the room and lay on the bed alone.
[Yu Guang]: Have you said what you should have said?
[Lightning and Thunder]: I've already said it! Just do as you said, let him come and chat with me whenever he wants, and if he doesn't want to chat, he can just sort out his mood. But he really doesn't seem to have any interest in chatting with me...
[Yu Guang]: Oh! There is no way. You have been so absent during Xiao Lei's growth!
[Yu Guang]: I have to say something unpleasant, but if we really have to choose someone who speaks his mind, I guess Xiao Lei would be more inclined to choose Lao Shang!
[Thunder and lightning]: ...Old Yu, please stop talking. If you continue, I’m really going to cry!
[Yong Chao Nan Tian]: Old Yu, what nonsense are you talking about! Don’t you know how much Lao Lei, as a father, has sacrificed for Xiao Lei? Do you think he doesn’t want to be with Xiao Lei forever?
[Yong Chao Nan Tian]: Lao Lei, this time it's my fault. I shouldn't have let Xiao Lei test Rui Zhao's strength for convenience. Firstly, I didn't have time to spare, and secondly, I thought it would be easier to prevent "dog walking" by using handicap chess, but I really didn't expect this to happen.
[Qin Xiaoxue]: Chairman Shang, don't blame yourself. Until now we still don't know why Lei Qi suddenly cares so much about [You Feng Lai Yi], let alone you at that time.
[Qin Xiaoxue]: But... when you were talking to Rui Zhao, did you sense what the reason was?
[Yong Chao Nan Tian]: I can't feel anything. She's in a good mood, just like everything is normal. I can't detect anything unusual.
[Yong Chao Nan Tian]: Don't worry about Old Lei, leave Xiao Lei's affairs to me! I will never let him get into any trouble. But correspondingly, you must not have any thoughts about Rui Zhao's training because of Xiao Lei's affairs.
[Lightning and Thunder]: Don't worry about that. I'm not such a petty person! And I know what's important!
[Lightning and Thunder]: However, my son's matter...I really trouble you, Lao Shang. He will take the high-speed train tomorrow morning. If anything goes wrong when he arrives in Dajing, remember to tell me as soon as possible!
[Yong Chao Nan Tian]: Yes! Definitely!
