Chapter 405: Two Sons Win or Lose (3)
"President Sun. Akutagawa Ryuya walked a few steps quickly, rushed to Sun Suhe's side and whispered a few words.
Sun Suhe looked up and saw Mr. Owada walking towards this side with an old man with a smile on his face.
The person who came was Mr. Hideo Hirano, the executive director of the Japan Chess Academy, who was in charge of the overseas promotion of the Japan Chess Academy for many years, and had just returned from Europe a few days ago.
Director Hirano heard a report from the staff of the Chess Academy that President Sun had arrived at the Academy, so he ended a meeting early and came to greet him in person. Although he had not heard of the name "SunALICE Co., Ltd." before, according to a friend who had made a connection for this meeting, this is a large multinational company with strong financial resources and branches all over the world, and if it can be negotiated, it will definitely be of great help to the Japanese Chess Academy's Go overseas promotion plan, not to mention that this time the president of the other party personally came with the intention of sponsorship, so Director Hirano attached great importance to this meeting.
"Come, let's meet Director Hirano together. Sun Suhe pulled Xie Yi together and got up to greet him.
After the two sides shook hands and greeted each other, they left the game hall and moved to the reception room on the fourth floor, the staff had already prepared tea and snacks, although the language barrier, but the translator Akutagawa and Sun Suhe had already cooperated quite tacitly, and Owada was a social expert who was used to seeing this kind of scene, and the atmosphere was very warm when he spoke.
Sun Suhe had been prepared and patient, and with the rhythm of Owada, he unhurriedly had a relationship with Director Hirano and chatted with some gossip.
Xie Yi was worried about whether his crucial game of chess could be promoted, and when he saw Sun Suhe and them chatting non-stop, the more he listened, the more anxious he became. A cup of tea was put down and picked up, put down and picked up, and after a while, most of it was already drunk. She looked at Sun Suhe, and then at Hideo Hirano, the adults present seemed to be chatting, and she was the only one who was out of place.
Xie Yi was helpless, and picked up the teacup he had just put down and took a big sip. There was not much water left in the cup, and after a sip, a lot of tea was on her lips, and she wanted to reach out to pull it away, but she felt that it was indecent, so she could only pout, frowned, pretended to continue drinking tea, and tried to flush the tea back into the cup with the little water left.
Sun Suhe noticed that Xie Yi's face was full of helplessness, and he felt cute and funny, he thought about it and talked about it, so he said: "Director Hirano, my little friend is very obsessed with Go, and his strength is also very good, I heard that Miyazaki Hideki Liudan is here today, I don't know if there is a chance to ask him for a game?"
"Oh, is this such a lovely princess also a chess player? We're like-minded. Director Hirano glanced at Xie Yi in surprise, and then laughed and agreed: "No problem, I'll ask someone to invite Miyazaki Liudan to come over." ”
Hideo Hirano has been engaged in the promotion of Go for many years, and he knows a truth that a thousand words are better than a game in hand. For those who don't know Go, even if you have a dry tongue, you may not be able to convey the charm of Go to him. However, if you put the chess pieces on the board with great fanfare and pay attention to the game according to various rules, even those who can't understand Go will be attracted by the thick sense of ritual and cultural charm, and can't help but be curious and interested. This is especially true in places where there is no cultural tradition of Go, such as when it is being promoted in Europe.
Director Hirano was worried about how to show Sun Suhe the charm of Go, and since Sun Suhe had this proposal, it would certainly be better. This game of chess should not only be played, but also played grandly, played wonderfully, he called the staff of the chess academy to give a few words, and said to Xie Yi with a smile: "I just asked, there is no game scheduled in the game room upstairs today, the game room 'Silence' is not arranged, it happens to be free, this game of chess is under 'Silence', I personally score for our beautiful girl chess player and Miyazaki Six Sections, how about it?"
Xie Yi was overjoyed after listening to Akutagawa's translation, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and bowed down to thank him. Sun Suhe took out a tissue and handed it to her, Xie Yi remembered that there were still two tea leaves on his lips, and he couldn't help but blush and look embarrassed. Everyone got up with a smile and walked to the game room on the fifth floor, "Silent Light".
"Silent Light" is one of the only five Japanese-style game rooms that have been preserved in the Japanese Chess Academy, and it is an excellent place to express the charm of Go with less tension and more solemn and elegant cultural charm than the Western-style game room where you sit on a chair and play chess. What should be done next? The details should not be sloppy. Director Hirano silently thought in his heart that the exciting game he wanted was a wonderful game in form, not a wonderful game on the chessboard.
In his heart, Xie Yi is mostly an ordinary Go enthusiast, a great amateur player, that's nothing, he has never thought about winning or losing, he thinks about how to win. Miyazaki Liudan should know this measure, I'll mention it to him later, don't kill too hard, the little girl is soft-skinned, it won't be beautiful if she makes people cry, and she has to let this little girl lose decently.
After everything was ready, in the "Silent Light", Miyazaki Hideki 6dan and Xie Yi sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard, and Director Hirano sat on the sidelines ready to record the chess scores for them, just like an official game. Sun Suhe sat down on the cushion on the other side, of course, he was indispensable in this game of chess, after all, in the heart of Director Hirano, Sun Suhe was the protagonist of this game. Akutagawa Ryuya sat next to Sun Suhe as an interpreter, while Owada unfortunately became an idle man and was invited out of the chess room, which also added a sense of solemnity to the game.
Miyazaki Liudan holds a folding fan, elegant posture, although he is over forty years old, but there is no trace of fatigue on his body, but there is a quiet sense of youth, and there is always a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, which is easy to make people feel close.
Xie Yi closed her eyes and silently adjusted her breathing, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze had become deep and introverted, and her temperament had also undergone subtle changes.
Director Miyazaki Liudan and Hirano are both chess masters, obsessed with Go for decades, and naturally noticed the subtle changes in Xie Yi's temperament, and the two invariably glanced at each other, and both read the same meaning in each other's eyes: This little girl may really be an amateur master, it seems that this game of chess is not a child's play.
Sun Suhe's perception is several times more acute than theirs, his feeling is particularly profound, Xie Yi is like just waking up from a big dream, it seems that she is the real her at this moment, waking up Ye Mengye, Sun Suhe felt a trace of mysterious artistic conception, he thought to himself, maybe Xie Yi is really the kind of person who is destined to be born for Go.
"Let Ichiko go. Xie Yi said calmly.
After Akutagawa's translation, Miyazaki Liudan and Hirano had no objections, and it was a matter of course to let the chess, and in the face of professional chess players, he only asked for a handicap, and it seemed that his previous feelings were not wrong, and this kid was really not as simple as an ordinary enthusiast. For a while, as long as Xie Yi doesn't lose too badly, he can already be called a master among amateur chess players, if a girl really has such strength, it is not easy, and both of them can't help but love talent.
