The sky was overcast and it seemed that heavy rain was brewing.

On the top floor of a 9-storey luxury apartment in Mid-Levels East, Hong Kong, Zhu Tianyang and Zhu Dezhen, father and daughter, sit at a round table in front of the window and play animal chess.

After the lion and the lion died together, Zhu Tianyang looked at the chessboard and said, "How long has this house been bought?"

Zhu Dezhen also looked at the chessboard and said, "One month." ”

Zhu Tianyang moved the elephant and said, "Haven't you always disliked the top floor, how can you buy the top floor?"

Moving the rat to the side and blocking the path of Zhu Tian's elephant, Zhu Dezhen said: "This house was originally Lilith's, and she couldn't turn over her funds during the financial crisis, so she asked these friends for help, and I helped her find some money, and she mortgaged the house to me." ”

"Lilith ......" was repeated, and Zhu Tianyang asked, "The second daughter of the Cao family?"

Zhu Dezhen looked at his father in a little surprise: "You actually know her?"

Zhu Tianyang smiled and said: "Using the name of Satan's lover as my own name, I will pay a little attention to such people." ”

Zhu Dezhen asked, "Why?"

Zhu Tianyang said: "I usually pay attention to people who make fun of themselves, because I think the proportion of outstanding people in this group is higher. ”

"Laugh at yourself?" Zhu Dezhen asked puzzledly, "Is Lilith counted?"

Zhu Tianyang asked rhetorically: "Doesn't it count?"

This game of chess is another wishing heaven to win.

Zhu Dezhen pouted and said, "No, it's boring, I really don't know how you like to play animal chess." ”

While cleaning up the chessboard, Zhu Tianyang said, "What do you think is the meaning of people playing chess?"

Zhu Dezhen got up and poured a new cup of tea for his father, then sat back with a leather bag containing chess and said, "Good for intelligence...... Exercise your mind...... Killing time ......"

Zhu Tianyang asked again: "Why do you think people love to play chess?"

Zhu Dezhen thought for a while and said, "Kill the boredom...... Vent your energy...... Social means ......"

Zhu Tianyang shook his head slowly: "Wrong!"

"Wrong?"

"Aggressive. Zhu Tianyang said: "The essence of playing chess is to let human beings vent their aggressive nature. ”

Zhu Dezhen: "......"

Helping her daughter open the chess board, Zhu Tianyang said, "Do you know why I like to play animal chess?"

Zhu Dezhen shook her head.

Zhu Tianyang said with a smile: "Because animal chess is the purest chess. ”

Setting up his chess pieces on the chess board, Zhu Dezhen asked, "What does it mean to play chess in its purest form?"

Zhu Tianyang said: "Survive!"

While arranging his chess pieces, Zhu Tianyang said: "Go, Xiangqi, chess, shogi and other chess contain strong philosophical, social and political attributes. They're all good, but at the same time they're all too fancy, obsessed with calculations, obsessed with winning, and losing the most essential function of chess -- teaching people to survive. ”

Zhu Dezhen listened very carefully, and she quietly watched her father slowly play chess.

Zhu Tianyang continued: "I like animal chess because it is primitive and intuitive. People are animals, and when they wear clothes, carry a watch, and drive a car, they are just like animals, and only by remembering this can we think from the perspective of animal instincts and animal nature, and only then can we see through our kind. ”

Zhu Dezhen: "......"

Looking at his daughter, Zhu Tianyang smiled and said, "Always remember one thing, nature is the most stubborn, and instinct is the strongest. ”

Zhu Dezhen looked into his father's eyes and nodded slightly.

Picking up the teacup next to him and taking a shallow sip, Zhu Tianyang said: "Animal chess is actually survival chess, it educates people to eat animals smaller and weaker than themselves, and avoid animals that are bigger and stronger than themselves, and this is the core of the survival of all species, it is also applicable to business, finance and politics." ”

After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Dezhen spoke: "One level eats one level, this is too simple." ”

"Is it simple?" Zhu Tianyang leaned back in his chair and said: "Elephants can eat lions, tigers, and jackals, but they can't eat mice, and they are eaten by rats. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Tianyang stopped, he looked at Zhu Dezhen and said, "Elephants can't eat mice, rats can eat elephants, tell me what you think about this rule." ”

Zhu Dezhen said simply: "Don't despise small roles, be careful of villains." ”

Zhu Tianyang smiled and nodded: "Go on." ”

Zhu Dezhen said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”

"Go on. ”

"To each his own person. ”

"Anything else?"

Zhu Dezhen shook her head.

Looking at his daughter, Zhu Tianyang picked up the "king" on the chessboard and said: "In terms of tactical fun, animal chess is definitely not as good as chess, but chess will never be as intuitive as animal chess to remind people that no matter how strong the force is, there is a blind spot in everything, and everything has a door, and it cannot be unscrupulous...... On the peak, Kang Long has regrets. ”

Putting the "king" in his hand back on the chessboard, Zhu Tianyang said: "Do you know why I have supported you to play chess since I was a child, but I did not encourage you to play chess?"

Zhu Dezhen first shook his head, and then nodded slightly.

"Tell me. ”

Zhu Dezhen said: "You don't like Confucian culture, and chess is precisely a reflection of Confucian culture. ”

Touching the Praetorian Guards on the chessboard, Zhu Tianyang said: "I can't say that I don't like it, but after comparison, I found that the rules and logic of chess are more to my taste." ”

Zhu Dezhen stroked his forehead bangs and said: "That's because you like to take the king and queen to slash and kill, and the generals and commanders in chess are all caged birds, just panting and eating meat, no matter how they cross the river to fight, plus the soldiers are basically all cannon fodder, and the soldiers can't cross the river, and most of the time they are wastes." ”

"What else do you know?" asked Zhu Tianyang with interest.

Zhu Dezhen said: "You also like the rules in chess after the soldier crosses the river and reaches the bottom, because you like the feeling of changing your fate." ”

Zhu Tianyang asked with a little curiosity, "How did you know?"

Zhu Dezhen said with a calm expression: "Because I am your daughter." ”

Half a day.

Zhu Tianyang picked up the "back" on the chessboard and said, "You have fallen on the most critical point." ”

Looking at the "back" in his father's hand, a spark flashed in Zhu Dezhen's eyes.

Zhu Tianyang said word by word: "Because you are my daughter, you will marry a king and become a queen after all." ”

Zhu Dezhen said: "How can there be so many kings?"

Putting down the "back" in his hand, Zhu Tianyang said: "I helped you find one, I thought you didn't like it, but when I came here today, I knew that I was wrong." ”

Zhu Dezhen's expression was a little unnatural: "Dad, what did you say?"

Zhu Tianyang said with a smile: "It is well known that Bian Xuedao likes to live on the top floor, and you are not preparing for the unprecedented purchase of this top floor?"

After a while, Zhu Dezhen asked Zhu Tianyang: "Dad, what do you think of this person?"

Stretching out his hand to touch the soldiers, he walked an E4, Zhu Tianyang looked at the chessboard and said: "Success is the king, achievement is the king, no need to evaluate." ”

Zhu Dezhen didn't touch the chess pieces and insisted: "This is related to the happiness of my life." ”

Zhu Tianyang raised his head, looked into his daughter's eyes and said, "Bian Xuedao is a Leo, if you can attract him and make him fall in love with you, he will naturally take good care of you." ”

Hearing his father's answer, Zhu Dezhen felt as if he had been struck by thunder.

Leo?

Constellation?

Asked him about his daughter's lifelong events, and he actually used horoscopes as the answer?

Is this still a father?

The father and daughter were staring at each other with wide eyes, and the old housekeeper knocked on the door and walked in: "Second master, I found out, Jiang Ning's matter was arranged by Young Master Yugong to do it." ”

"Does the fourth child know?"

"I don't know. ”

Zhu Tianyang turned his head sideways and asked, "Confirmed?"

The old butler nodded: "Confirmed." ”

Zhu Tianyang Mozi said to the "castle" in his hand: "This kid has a lame leg, and his brain has become smarter, but unfortunately he didn't use it in the right place." ”

……

……

Jiangning.

The twilight is getting darker, and the lights are dim.

Bian Xuedao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room and looked into the distance, and Yu Jin sat on the sofa behind him and talked on the phone.

At the end of the call, Bian Xuedao turned around.

Yu Jin looked at Bian Xuedao and said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, I didn't do it." ”

Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "I didn't say that you did it!"

"It's really not me!" Yu Jin put down his mobile phone and said: "I rushed to the airport when I received a call from Shan Rao, and I have been with you since I got on the plane, and I don't have time to arrange at all." ”

Bian Xuedao sat down and said, "I believe in you." ”

Yu Jin rolled his eyes, suppressed his voice and asked, "Old man, you tell the truth, isn't it you?"

Bian Xuedao shook his head: "No." ”

Yu Jin stared at Bian Xuedao's eyes: "Really, not?"

Bian Xuedao said: "I'm not so mentally retarded. ”

"That's right!" After a few seconds of silence, Yu Jin squinted his eyes and said, "It's not me, it's not you, it's not Su Yi, it's someone who wants to trap us." ”

Bian Xuedao corrected and said: "It has nothing to do with you and Su Yi, the target is me." ”

Yu Jin said in a calm tone: "Shoot quickly and accurately, I strongly feel that the other party is imitating our plan in Canada." This person is very powerful, and there should not be many such people. ”

Bian Xuedao said calmly: "It's really not much, it's only a handful." ”
