Chapter 94 [Are you looking for: Go Xiao Zhao]
"Oh! Mr. Rui, why are you being so polite? I've already told you that I volunteer to teach Rui Zhao! No need, really no need!
"It just so happens that Lao Li and Ni Jue have been worrying about your daughter this week, and I'm still sleeping at home, so I don't deserve any reward without any contribution!
"Uh... Lei Qi's game, um... his game was mainly his own idea, not my advice, you... don't mind it. He is preparing for the chess saint competition now, so it's not a good idea to disturb him for the time being...
"Okay, okay! Let's have a good meal after Rui Zhao succeeds in getting promoted!
"Don't worry, with Rui Zhao's level, there will be no problem! When the time comes, call Lao Yu. He has a lot of ideas and will definitely help Rui Zhao plan the most suitable development path after he is promoted to the professional level!
"Okay! That's it, see you there!"
After some polite exchanges, Lei Jingming hung up the phone.
"Rui Guoquan?"
Qin Xiaoxue, who was chatting with her husband just now, confirmed with Lei Jingming again.
Lei Jingming nodded and said:
"Yes. He said he wanted to give Lei Qi and me a gift each, saying that he wanted to thank us for our teachings during this period of time...
"But how can I accept this?! If I accept this, then I would be recruiting students for money! What a shame!"
Qin Xiaoxue had no objection to her husband's decision, but she still took the opportunity to joke:
"I have no problem with you rejecting me, but as for my son...are you sure you don't want to get some compensation for his mental damages?"
Lei Jingming looked disdainful:
"Tsk! It's not shameful to lose two points to Rui Zhao. It's even amazing to lose only three points! Lin Ruixin made both of his pieces lose five points to Rui Zhao online!
"Although you can't directly compare the number of points lost when playing handicap chess, it does explain something! In the end, he just believed everything he heard and his mentality was unstable. Who can he blame!"
Qin Xiaoxue pouted and said, "You've forgotten the pain now that your wound has healed! You were so panicked at that time!
"I just regret that I didn't record your panic-stricken look at that time, otherwise I would definitely broadcast it now to teach you a lesson!"
Lei Jingming's face fell, and he weakly counterattacked: "Weren't you anxious at that time too!"
"Alright, alright! I won't talk to you any further!"
Seeing that her husband had run out of tricks, Qin Xiaoxue decided not to pursue the enemy.
"But...my son's condition hasn't changed much, right?"
Lei Jingming adjusted his expression and said:
"I heard from Lao Shang that everything is fine. On weekdays, he either competes with AI or goes to the Go platform in South Korea to meet with experts for training. There is no sign of any emotional fluctuation.
"For a kid like Lei Qi, as long as he can get normal feedback on Go, he can control his emotions very well.
"Something went wrong this time. Essentially, he misjudged Rui Zhao's ability, which led to doubts about himself, causing psychological problems."
"Well, I didn't expect that a handicap game between him and Rui Zhao would turn out like this! But after all, he is only seventeen years old, we... still can't expect too much from him!"
Qin Xiaoxue sighed.
"Oh, by the way. Tomorrow is June.
"Whether he wins or loses, my son will have to 'come out' after the chess saint competition! Do you think he will continue to secretly check on the female anchor named 'Xiao Zhao Miao'?"
After Shang Chaotian and Lei Qi talked about the whole incident that day, out of a responsible attitude, he told the whole situation truthfully to Lei Jingming and his wife, so Qin Xiaoxue naturally knew the relevant situation.
Lei Jingming frowned slightly. "That shouldn't be the case, right? Didn't he search it already and found nothing? What else is he searching for?"
"That's what I said..."
There was still a hint of worry in Qin Xiaoxue's expression.
"I also searched online, but I also didn't find a Go anchor named 'Xiao Zhao Miao'. But I'm still a little worried... Hey, have you tried to test this with Rui Zhao?"
"Hey! How can I test this?"
Lei Jingming answered immediately.
"You know, we are three old men taking care of a female student, so there must be at least two of us present at all times.
"If I were to test Rui Zhao's experience as a host in front of them, my reputation would be over!
“Besides, I always feel that there must be some misunderstanding here!
"For example, in the past month, this girl has spent almost all her time practicing chess, except for eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, and playing games.
"Ni Jue has only been here for a few days. When Old Yu met him today, he already had dark circles under his eyes due to Rui Zhao's rubbing. In terms of his diligence, I'm afraid Lei Qi himself would be ashamed if he saw this. How can he be a host?"
“That’s… that’s what I said!”
Although Qin Xiaoxue was still worried, she had to admit that her husband was right.
Qin Xiaoxue herself didn't quite believe that she was a host, as she was so focused on Go. Hmm... that shouldn't be a problem, right?
She advised herself secretly, then opened the search website, intending to confirm it again to give herself some reassurance.
Although she searched several times when she first heard the news about Shang Chaotian, she found nothing.
But when people are concerned about something, they are always willing to confirm it again when they feel uneasy.
What surprised Qin Xiaoxue was that although she still didn't find anything by using "Weiqi" and "Xiao Zhao Miao" as keywords, there was an extra line of prompts at the top of the search page:
[Are you looking for: Go Xiao Zhao]
...
...
"You said... Lei Qi's performance in online chess was so bad last time because he mistook Rui Zhao for a female anchor selling lessons?!"
September 6, seven o'clock in the morning.
Ni Jue, who had just finished washing up, received a call from Shang Chaotian. She looked puzzled, and even the dark circles around her eyes seemed more obvious.
"It's a bit weird, isn't it? Rui Zhao's live broadcast should have started in mid-May, but weren't those two handicap games played during the May Day holiday? How could this be..."
Shang Chaotian said helplessly:
"Well, I guess I'll have to ask Rui Zhao about the details. I'm a little confused. But let's talk about this after Rui Zhao finishes the 'City Cup'. Don't let her be distracted now.
“The current situation is that Lao Lei gathered all of us old guys together last night to discuss how to tell Lei Qi about this matter.
"He had not previously told Xiao Lei that the student he accepted was Rui Zhao, also known as You Feng Lai Yi, for fear that Xiao Lei would be upset.
“But Rui Zhao’s live broadcast has become somewhat famous now. After Xiao Lei finishes the chess saint battle, I think he will know it sooner or later.
"I heard from your master that you have watched Rui Zhao's live broadcast, and you are a young man. So, I wanted to consult your opinion as well."
Oh, I'm just a little younger than you. I'm almost a generation younger than Lei Qi, so how can I be considered a young man!
Ni Jue said secretly after hearing this.
He was born in September 94, nearly eleven years younger than Lei Qi, who was born in August 9. They can indeed not be considered of the same generation.
However, Ni Jue just thought about it and gave some suggestions in a very organized manner:
"I think... this is nothing, right? Just wait for Xiao Lei to finish the chess battle and tell him the truth!
"It's true that Rui Zhao is a female anchor, but my little sister's live broadcast is live broadcast, and what she broadcasts is very simple and fresh. She just goes to play games, talks about why she likes Go, and talks about some interesting things she encountered when playing Go in the past. It can be said that she is completely promoting Go, which is very positive.
"As for strength and hard work, Rui Zhao is impeccable.
"These past few days, she has been listening to the lectures seriously and has been able to stay focused almost the entire time. She has also understood my research results very quickly. I'm afraid there is really a good chance that she will become Bai Yinhua in the future.
"I think Xiao Lei should be proud of losing three points to her with two pieces.
“So, I think we should wait until the Chess Saint Tournament is over and let Old Lei, the Ninth Dan, take Rui Zhao and Little Lei to explain the situation as soon as possible.
"Xiao Lei is a low-key and modest person, and he is also quite sensible. He won't make trouble."
“Yeah, that’s basically what we all think.”
Shang Chaotian agrees:
"... That's right, let's wait until after the Chess Saint Tournament, right?"
“Well, I think so.
"The title of [Go Saint] is too important. The prize money is NT$130 million, and it is a challenge system. If you consider its historical connotation and status in the circle, it is probably more important than most world championships.
"Plus, the situation between Lin Ruixin and Xiao Lei right now is probably just a matter of breath. So, I personally think that before the chess saint war, Xiao Lei should not be affected in any way... Since you asked him to 'retreat', you should be aware of all this, right?"
"Well, you are indeed the recognized genius chess player back then! You are so thoughtful!"
Shang Chaotian couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
"I think if you put more effort into the competition instead of research, I'm afraid that Lin Ruixin's position as the [chess master] wouldn't be stable in the past few years!"
"You are too kind. I'd better let the task of snatching the title of "Chess Saint" from Lin Wanghong be handed over to young people like Xiao Lei. I am already old!"
Ni Jue said this casually and modestly.
“It’s a pity that my junior sister is a girl.
"Otherwise, as a peer... maybe I can really put some pressure on Xiao Lei in the future."
