Beijing, Chaoyang District, before the famous "heaven and earth", in a luxurious private room, Li Xiangping is facing the little beauty Cai Shanshankou Huahua:

"Daughter-in-law, I haven't seen you for some days, I miss you."

I saw that the little beauty's face was slightly red, and her expression was a little cowardly, but for Li Xiangping to call her "daughter-in-law", she didn't look very resistant, but just said in her mouth:

"Stinky Li Xiangping, what nonsense, it's really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory."

Seeing Cai Shanshan's appearance, Li Xiangping was happy. The heart said that the aura of this world champion is really very effective, in the past, when she called Cai Shanshan like this, although she was not mad, but she was never embarrassed, look at her current attitude, isn't this the bonus brought by the world champion?

If you want to talk about Li Xiangping and Cai Shanshan, of course, it is not that there is really any relationship, but since becoming classmates, under Li Xiangping's deliberate flattery, the relationship between the two has improved a lot recently.

As for Li Xiangping's flower, please, you must know that it is now the new century, so 14 or 5-year-old girls like Cai Shanshan, do you think they are really "innocent"? How could a girl of this age care about this level of lip service.

In fact, not only Li Xiangping himself, but also the Shenma aristocratic school he is studying now, since the news of his and Cai Shanshan's "marriage" spread, most male classmates mentioned Cai Shanshan in front of Li Xiangping, and they were all called "your daughter-in-law", and the female classmates were of course "your husband".

Seeing the two chatting like this, Zhao Daokai, who was staying with the two, screamed:

"What a pair of adulterers**, please don't show your hobbies in front of us, isn't it, Sister Yang Na."

The "Sister Yang Na" in Zhao Daokai's mouth is Cai Shanshan's best friend and everyone's classmate, but this "Sister Yang Na" is just one year higher. And the reason why she is here today is because her father and Lao Cai are partners, the real boss of the armor team, and Lao Yang and Li Yuanhu are also relatively familiar, so they will attend this private celebration banquet.

Cai Shanshan stared at Zhao Daokai fiercely, this time it was really fierce:

"Zhao Daokai, what did you just say? I have the ability to say it again. ”

"Haha, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." Zhao Daokai was playing haha while giving Li Xiangping a look.

has been a friend for many years, Li Xiangping can certainly understand Zhao Daokai's eyes, and he is saying: Your daughter-in-law is so fierce.

Yang Na, who was a little older, came out to play the round, and she said to Li Xiangping with a smile: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, Xiangping, you are really amazing, by the way, after winning the world championship now, there must be a lot of competitions to participate in in the future, so will you still go to school in the future?" ”

"I still have to learn." Li Xiangping smiled at Yang Na first, and then smiled at Cai Shanshan.

The smile on Cai Shanshan is a flattering laugh, you must know that it is already June, and it will be the final exam soon, but for Li Xiangping, even if it is the second year of junior high school this year, he needs the help of Cai Shanshan, a top student, in the exam.

And Cai Shanshan obviously understood this flattering smile, and she glared at Li Xiangping with a little smugness.

Li Xiangping said to Yang Na again: "As for participating in the competition, it's not for me to worry about, huh,"

The corners of Li Xiangping's mouth furrowed: "This is all something that adults should worry about." ”

Li Xiangping said this is of course the big truth, although he is now a world champion and is still a traverser, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a minor after all, so how to go on the road of professional Go in the future? Which team to join? In fact, no one really asked Li Xiangping for his opinion, and they were all circling around his old man, Li Yuanhu.

As for Li Xiangping himself, he must tell the truth, he himself doesn't really care about this. After all, in essence, he is just a gentleman, and he has some feelings for Go, but definitely not to the point where it goes deep into the bone marrow.

Besides, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, and he doesn't need to play armor to support his family, so playing chess is just a game for him to pretend to be forced. The ideal model in Li Xiangping's mind is like now, where his own plug-in Shi Da Chess Saint is responsible for playing chess, and himself, of course, is responsible for enjoying flowers and applause, enjoying the glory brought by victory, and the admiring eyes of a little girl like Cai Shanshan, that's all.

Therefore, it is easy to understand that Li Xiangping certainly doesn't care which team he joins.

It's just that Li Xiangping doesn't care, but he can't stand others from caring, for example, on the other side of the private room, Li Yuanhu, Lin Yi, Lao Cai, Lao Yang, and Zhao Daokai's father Zhao Jiadong are discussing Li Xiangping's affairs in full swing.

"Haha I said Yuanhu, why did you let Xiangping join Lao Cai's team, their team is relegated every year, even I feel uncomfortable watching it, anyway, you are making so much money now, I think otherwise, why don't you pull a Go team yourself, let Xiangping be the protagonist, and then sign a few potential small chess players, wouldn't it be better to do so."

It was Zhao Daokai's father Zhao Jiadong who said this, although he used to be a scholar, but Li Xiangping always felt that he was a little unreliable in talking and doing things, no, he now has an unreliable idea.

And his unreliable idea was naturally strongly opposed by Lao Cai and Lao Yang:

"I said Lao Zhao, I said that your guy is really unreliable, first of all, it is precisely because we are relegated every year, so we need a master like Xiangping to join, another point is more important, Lao Zhao, do you think that a newly established team is eligible to participate in Weijia, then it must start from Weiyi, oh, you let Xiangping world champion go to Weiyi? You're trying to harm Xiangping, aren't you? ”

Zhao Jiadong actually realized that his idea was a little unreliable, but since he was a person who had been a scholar, this kind of person usually would not easily admit his mistakes, so he argued with his neck:

"Why is my idea unreliable, the deadline for registration has passed, right? In other words, even if Xiangping joins your team, it can only start from next year, so what about this year? You must know that Xiangping is now in the chess stage, although he is already a world champion, but everyone thinks that he still has potential to tap, if you join your team, it means that he has nothing to play in the second half of the year, you are really hurting him to know, I still think it is good to get a new team, Wei B is the second half of the year to play, as long as you score in the top 2, then next year is just to participate in Wei Jia, so the arrangement is proper. ”

Regarding Zhao Jiadong's words, Lao Cai scoffed:

"Cut, you said the top 2 are the top 2? There is no problem with Xiangping's strength, but don't forget, the Weiyi competition requires 4 players, where to find so many potential chess players in China now? Famous masters are basically already famous, and those with potential can only find small chess players, but if they are small chess players, who is sure that they will produce results within half a year? If you can't rush up, will you let Xiangping fight next year? You're the one who really makes him know. ”

The two quarreled there, but it made Li Yuanhu, who really had the right to decide, hesitate a little, Lao Cai saw Li Yuanhu's hesitation, and he said to Li Yuanhu with a smile:

"I said Lao Li, you really can't listen to Lao Zhao this time, he is worried that there will be no chess in the second half of the year, I really don't know what he thinks, although he can't participate in the Weijia competition, isn't there still so many title battles in China now, what celebrity battles Tianyuan battles and the like, these games Xiangping is qualified, by the way, this year's "Overlord Battle" and "Robust Cup" are to start next month, although these games Xiangping will also start from the qualifiers, but there are so many chess, I want to keep Xiangping in good condition or no problem. ”

Obviously, Lao Cai's words are more convincing than Zhao Jiadong's words, but because of Zhao Jiadong's mashing, the signing of the contract was not decided immediately.

Li Yuanhu smiled and said to Lao Cai: "Okay, Lao Cai, anyway, even if you sign now, you can only participate in next year's siege, I don't think we need to be in a hurry now, I will give you a promise here, anyway, before the siege starts next year, Xiangping will definitely not sign another team." ”

"Hehe, Lao Li, you guy, it seems that Lao Zhao's words are still working, you don't really want to form a new team, right?"

"Hey, hey."

Li Xiangping didn't care about the discussion of the elders at all, but when the time came to July 2001, when Li Xiangping was approaching the first anniversary, another thing made Li Xiangping a little dumbfounded.

In this month, this year's "Overlord War" officially started, although this competition has not been held for many sessions, but the prize money of this competition is quite rich, which is one of the highest level events in China this year.

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, are you ready, let me tell you, the prize money for this event is not low, you can do it well then, and help me earn some pocket money."

"I'm sorry Xiangping friends, but this event can't be shot."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Alas, but Ding'an was negligent, and there is one thing that I have never told you."

"What?"
