On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the third day after Li Xiangping returned to the capital.

Early in the morning, Li Xiangping was still sleeping in the bed, but was woken up by a phone ringing, and he was in a daze and saw that it was his old man.

Li Xiangping just connected, but ushered in a burst of scolding from Li Datuhao:

"You've got stiff wings now, aren't you? I don't know how to go home during the school holidays, I fool around outside every day, now hurry up and get back to me! ”

After hanging up the phone, the maid next to her was also woken up, and she also asked in a daze, "Who?" ”

Li Xiangping smiled: "My old man is angry, let me go home today, probably to talk about going back to my hometown for the New Year." ”

"Back to my hometown for the New Year? Didn't you say you wouldn't be going back this year? ”

Li Xiangping said: "I can't leave, but they all have to go back, this is our family's tradition, if you don't go back, your grandparents will be unhappy, by the way, Sister Yaya, when will you accompany me back to my hometown." ”

Yaya was embarrassed to accept this, she just leaned closer, and her arms naturally grabbed Li Xiangping's neck.

Li Xiangping originally wanted to exercise once in the morning, but when he looked at the time, it was almost 9 o'clock in the morning, so he had to resist the urge to exercise in the morning, get up and wash up and prepare to go out:

"Okay, get up, don't you still have to rehearse today, what time will you rehearse until then? I'll pick you up then. ”

Li Xiangping really can't go back to his hometown this year, this Spring Festival is coming soon, not to mention the rest, just talk about the next two activities, one is the Xiannongtan temple fair on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the other is the sports festival on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which makes him unable to get out of his body at all.

As for Yaya, she also can't go back to her hometown for the New Year this year, don't forget that in addition to being a student of Chinese opera, she was originally a dancer, and now in this year, there is only one Spring Festival, and there are many kinds of parties.

As Zhao Jiadong, who was born in the Divine Beast Management Office, the boss of the "water bezel" commonly known in the industry, it is easy to arrange one or two dancers in this kind of party.

Yaya was arranged by him to have two galas this year, one is the CCTV 4 sets of international channel Spring Festival Gala, and the other is the Spring Festival Gala of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, although it is not the top, but one is still a solo dance, so she can't leave at all.

At noon, Li Xiangping returned home for dinner.

"Ahh You're not going back to your hometown this year? Are you going to Uncle Shencheng for the New Year? ”

Li Da Tuhao nodded and said: "Yes, this is all your aunt's idea, she has already gone to her hometown to pick up your grandparents, and said that Zhao Daokai's grandfather will also celebrate the New Year in Shencheng, so we have no choice but to go over." ”

"Oh."

Li Xiangping stopped talking, this explanation is reasonable, the two elders in the family are old comrades-in-arms, and they also went to the battlefield together in the early eighties of the last century.

And at this moment, Li Da Tuhao remembered something, and he asked Li Xiangping:

"By the way, I heard your aunt say yesterday that you seem to have put all the money in Weiping, right? What's the situation? ”

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "Yes, I am going to hire Brother Wei Ping as my fund manager, more than one billion in cash, it is a small fund, I can't put it in the bank to eat interest, it just so happens that Brother Wei Ping will graduate soon, and I am ready to hand over the money to him to take care of." ”

Li Da Tuhao warned: "I have no objection to you doing finance, but don't mess around, let alone break the law, the water in that line is very deep, if something really happens, then no one can protect you, even if you are a real chess god, it is useless." ”

Li Xiangping nodded and said: "I know, I know, of course I know that the water in that line is very deep, and the laws and regulations are not perfect, maybe it seems legal now, but it will be illegal in a year or two, so I am not ready to play in China, I asked Brother Weiping to help me change it to 200 million US dollars, and I am ready to go to the lighthouse country to cut leeks." ”

Li Da Tuhao sneered when he heard this:

"Hehe, my tone is not small, and I went to the lighthouse country to cut leeks, and I was careful to lose everything."

Li Xiangping smiled and didn't pick up, and said that it was already 07 years now, and as a traverser, how could he forget the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States a year later, if there were no conditions, it would be okay, but now he has preliminarily met this condition, if he doesn't want to take a bite there, how can he be worthy of so many seniors.

Of course, it's one thing to think like this in my heart, but of course it's another thing to say what I say, Li Xiangping smiled at his old man:

"If you lose everything, you will lose everything, what does it matter, don't I still know how to play chess, with this craft, I don't have to worry about starving to death in the future."

Li Da Tuhao laughed when he heard it: "That's it, you can't starve to death." ”

In fact, in Li Datuhao's mind, he thinks that Li Xiangping handed over the money to his cousin, which is just a small fight between two young people, such as buying stocks and the like------- of course this way is likely to lose, but basically it will not be lost, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After the family said a few more homely words, Li Da Tuhao looked very busy, put down the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to go out, but before leaving, he said to Li Xiangping:

"After we leave, you keep me at home, don't go out and fool around, look at you, ah! What does it look like now, some time ago there were scandals flying all over the sky, I heard that I still have a hot fight with that Chinese opera student, right? Hello for yourself. ”

After Li Da Tuhao left, Li Xiangping asked his stepmother Lin Yi strangely:

"What's going on with my dad today, menopause has arrived?"

"Go, what menopause."

Lin still explained with a smile: "Xiangping, let me tell you, in fact, your father really likes Cai Shanshan very much, he nagged me a few days ago, saying that he was going to talk to Lao Cai, hoping that after Shanshan graduated, he would come to work in our company, but now he can't open this mouth." ”

Li Xiangping nodded and said: "I understand, because I didn't find Cai Shanshan as a girlfriend, let alone his daughter-in-law, which made him feel deeply sorry for the loss of talent, so he sprinkled the nameless fire on my head, right?" Look at my dad's interest, without Cai Shanshan alone, our company wouldn't be open?"

Lin still glared at Li Xiangping first: "What do you say about your father?" Then he immediately laughed and said, "You know." ”

Two days later, Li Da Tuhao and his wife took their little sister Beibei to Shencheng for the New Year, and Li Xiangping also began to prepare for the Xiannongtan Temple Fair on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The year before last, Li Xiangping played a one-on-eight multi-faceted bloody game in the amateur chess world in Beijing, and this year, the game seems to have been upgraded, after Li Xiangping won a golden slam again, the organizers of the temple fair proposed that this time let Li Xiangping and professional chess players have a handicap chess performance.

According to their initial plan, this time they are going to have a one-on-five multi-sided game, and all the chess pieces are to let 2 pieces, but the qualifications of the participating players are limited, and the requirements are under the age of 16, and the young chess players who are below the professional fourth dan are eligible to sign up.

To be honest, at the beginning, Li Xiangping thought that no one would sign up, but he didn't think that the final registration was quite enthusiastic, and the 5 places were snatched up early.

In the list of players that has been determined, there are Brother Shi Yuelong, who entered the stage in 03, Tan Xiao, the old Nie Ai disciple who entered the stage in 04, Jiang Weijie, the first world champion of the "Little Leopard Generation" who entered the stage in 05, and Tang Elder Tang Xuanzong, who entered the stage last year, and Liao Xingwen, a young player who was once very optimistic.

There is nothing to say, in the face of such a list, of course Li Xiangping is impossible to refuse, not only will he not refuse, but he actually attaches great importance to it in his heart, and he expects it a lot, and the degree of attention is no less than that of a world competition.

The Chinese New Year's Eve soon came, and since there was only one person left in the family, Li Xiangping did not continue to live in the Wudaokou apartment, but moved back to live at home.

It's a pity that he is really the only one this time, alone, Yaya is not with him now because she is busy on stage.

After a brief look at the Spring Festival Gala, considering that the next day's activities were actually individual work, Li Xiangping decided to rest early.

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, let's discuss first, how to play tomorrow's 5 games of chess, or do you use the combination of two swords with you as the main one like last time?"

What Li Xiangping didn't expect was that Lao Shi, this guy, was actually a little floating: "It's just 2 sub-games, you don't need to combine the two swords, Xiangping Xiaoyou, I think we should divide the division of labor, how many games will you play and how many games will I play?" ”

Li Xiangping laughed: "Hahahaha, it's just 2 sub-bureaus, I said Brother Ding'an, do you know who these people are?" By the way, I forgot to tell you that in my previous life, there were 4 world champions among these 5 people, and they are really young people with unlimited potential, do you really think it is appropriate for us not to use two swords? ”

Lao Shi said: "Why, Xiangping Xiaoyou doesn't dare." ”

Li Xiangping continued to laugh: "Haha, Brother Ding'an, if you don't use this kind of agitation method for me, I don't dare, I just remind you not to despise it, you mean the division of labor, right?" That's okay, the division of labor is the division of labor, I think so, a total of 5 chess players, Brother Ding'an, you can work hard, you can play 3 games of chess, and the remaining two will be handed over to me to deal with. ”

"Hehe, yes."

So the two discussed the specific details, Li Xiangping took into account the characteristics of the chess style of the five chess players, "one dragon per game" and Jiang Weijie, a young player in Shencheng, are obvious strength types, these two will be handed over to Lao Shi to deal with, and Tan Xiao and Elder Tang will deal with it by themselves.

As for the only non-world champion Liao Xingwen, this time it can only be used as an add-on and left to Lao Shi to deal with.

After Meimei had a good night's sleep, she also ushered in the new year. After getting up, Li Xiangping didn't rush to Xiannongtan, but began to call and text everywhere, and waited until the New Year was over, and then Li Xiangping started to have breakfast.

After eating and drinking, Li Xiangping drove the car and drove towards the arena.
