Lao Cai looked quite busy, and he was in a hurry, and after Li Xiangping chatted with him for a while, he said:

"That's it, Xiangping, I still have something to do later, you don't seem to be able to leave for a while, tomorrow, tomorrow you come to the club, let's talk about this year's armor."

"Okay, okay, Uncle Cai, you go slowly......"

After sending Lao Cai away, Li Xiangping focused on other competitions.

It's still early, so Li Xiangping first looked at the game of Ma Xiaofei VS Cui Poison---- which was also a game that was picked out for live broadcast today.

But after only watching it for a while, Li Xiangping felt bored.

Think about it, the leader of the centaur team has been playing "Happy Go" for so long, and Cui Poison is now in full swing, just killing Da Li in two Korean domestic title battles, and confirming his name of "Cui Zhehao", so there is not much suspense in today's game.

Especially Li Xiangping is still a traverser, he knows that in the real history of this "Ying's Cup", Cui Poison finally reached the finals, so of course this chess is even more boring.

Li Xiangping swept to other games and found that most of the matchups in this round were relatively strong and weak------

Of course, this situation is also normal, think about people like Dazhu Hero, Lin Haifeng, Ma Xiaofei, and South Korea's Liu Chonghe and others, their combat effectiveness has long been unable to compare with that year, but they were directly exempted from the last quarterfinals, and even became seeded players, which of course is easy to cause a clear distinction between strength and weakness.

“...... Well, in a 4-yearly tournament like this, the real battle often starts with the quarterfinals......"

After raising such a thought, Li Xiangping originally wanted to leave, but first, considering that there would be a draw of lots after the game, and second, he found that he really had nowhere to go, so he could only spend it there, while bragging and chatting with reporters, while waiting for the game to end.

"Xiangping, after today's competition, the next round will have to wait until mid-April, so that there will not be many games in March, except for the Weijia and a "Robust Cup", this "Robust's Cup" is still not considered? ”

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "Don't forget that I'm about to be in my third year of high school, and I'm still going to take the university entrance examination, so some competitions can only be loved." ”

Of course, Shenma's "university entrance examination" is just an excuse for Li Xiangping, because he knows in his heart that his situation is different from others, and the growth of other professional chess players may require a certain amount of games to pile up, but what about himself?

Li Xiangping thinks that instead of simply piling up the number of games, it is better to continue to develop the treasures that he remembers.

In this case, many domestic competitions have become more frustrated.

Do you need any of these contests to earn prize money? There's no need for that.

Do you need these competitions to make a name for yourself? It doesn't seem necessary now.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the only benefit of these domestic competitions seems to be that they can be used to maintain a sense of chess and maintain proficiency in chess.

But Li Xiangping thought about it again, not to mention that he had already assumed this function by participating in the armor, and even if he really reached that day, he had not been in an official competition for a long time and wanted to practice chess, so did he need to play a game like the "Robust Cup"?

Of course, this is not needed, Li Xiangping believes that as long as he can maintain a high level in the international arena, then just like before last year's "LG Cup" final, as long as he squeaks, Gu Dali Kong Erjie Chen Xiaoqiang will rush to be a sparring partner for him.

Li Xiangping was thinking about Gu Dali, Dali had already come to him, less than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Dali defeated the Korean king Liu Chonghe and became the second player to advance to the quarterfinals.

And I don't know what's going on today, Li Xiangping thinks that he may have made a good start, after Gu Dali, there is good news for Chinese chess players all the way:

At about 3:40 p.m., Chang Hao won, and less than 10 minutes later, Yu Bin won, and just after 4 p.m., Kong Erjie won.

Seeing this, Lao Xie smiled and said, "Yo! In this way, in the next round of the competition, there will be at least one game of civil war among Chinese chess players, and now I don't know if Xiangping will draw a civil war. ”

Obviously, Lao Xie definitely has the attribute of a crow's mouth, at about half past five in the afternoon, this round of games is over, and the other three qualifying players are South Korea's Da Li, South Korea's Cui Poison and Japan's Wang Mingwan Jiuduan.

When the draw started in the evening, and when the other three foreign chess players drew their opponents separately, Li Xiangping and Gu Dali were left staring at each other on the stage.

The two pretended to shake hands on stage, and the reporters in the audience laughed, especially Lao Jia laughed the most:

"Hahaha, I dare to guarantee that this draw is extremely clean, who dares to say that if there is something greasy, I will draw him......"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Lao Jia's words: in today's world, Li Xiangping and Gu Dali are ranked first and second respectively in the domestic rating, among which Gu Dali is not only the king of the winning rate of last year's Weijia, but he is even the only chess player with a superior record against Li Xiangping so far.

Then such a sign is drawn in the country, of course, there is nothing wrong with this.

When shaking hands with Gu Dali, Li Xiangping didn't feel much of it, thinking about it, they are all people who are determined to challenge dogs, so of course it doesn't matter if they meet any opponent. Therefore, when he saw Dali's sunny smile, Li Xiangping only sighed slightly:

"Alas, in real history, this guy in front of him is going to enter his heyday next year, and he has won a world championship without defeat, and now I don't know what will happen to him in this world? ...... Well, it's certain that something will happen, otherwise, God will let me come back for a trip......"

After a night without words, on the afternoon of the second day, Li Xiangping came to his house's "Fangyuan Chess and Card Room" according to the agreement with Lao Cai, ready to sign this year's Weijia contract.

With the relationship between the two families, of course the terms of the contract are no problem, and Lao Cai also took the initiative to raise 20,000 yuan for him, turning it into 120,000 yuan to win a game, but when it was officially signed, there was a small problem.

"Hey Xiangping, where's your dad?"

"My dad, it seems to be quite busy in the last few days, so I didn't call him and came over by myself."

Well, of course Li Xiangping knows what his old man is busy with, since he has made up his mind to promote "Galaxy Bay", then to operate such a large project of tens of billions, the preliminary work can be busy.

"Busy?" Lao Cai looked very dissatisfied:

"This Lao Li, what are you busy with all day long, don't you care about your son's affairs?"

"Yo! Uncle Cai, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was glared at by Lao Cai: "Don't forget how old you are now, no, I have to call Lao Li." ”

When Lao Cai was on the phone, Li Xiangping choked there, think about it, although he is a traverser, but on the ID card, he is also marked that he is only 17 years old, so Lao Cai's reaction is normal now.

Lao Cai quickly hung up the phone, and after hanging up, he muttered very dissatisfied:

"This Lao Li, the spectrum is quite big now, and he actually asked me to go to his place, I said Xiangping, what has your father been busy with lately?"

Li Xiangping didn't know what Li Da Tuhao said just now, so he could only laugh at this time:

"Hehe, I don't know, Uncle Cai, you see ......"

Fortunately, Lao Cai just complained casually, and he said as he got up: "Then let's go Xiangping, your father called, then Uncle Cai doesn't dare not listen, but then again, I really haven't been to your father's company for a long time, so it's okay to go and see it today...... By the way, Xiangping, I heard that your dad is going to work in a new place, right? Tsk, Lao Li is really getting better and better now......"

Of course, Li Xiangping knows about Lao Li's change of office building, but isn't this all a matter of his previous life? Therefore, Li Xiangping continued to laugh with him: "Hehe, I rarely go to his place, as for the matter of changing the office...... I don't know much about that......"

The office building that Lao Li is renting now is in the North Third Ring Road, near the Asian Games Village back then, and the old office building looks very earthy in later generations, but in this era, it is already very high-end.

Lao Cai drove, the two arrived quickly, when Lao Cai was parking, Li Xiangping looked at this earthen office building, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart------

In the previous life, this building later became the headquarters of the "antique construction company", but unfortunately I haven't sat in and had the addiction of being a manager, so I wore it back.

"You two want to see Mr. Li? Do you have a reservation? ”

Looking at the beautiful young lady in front of him, who was completely unfamiliar, Li Xiangping was a little crying and laughing at that time, and Lao Cai was even more unbearable, so he simply laughed; "Appointment? Hahaha....."

This guy laughed and joked with Li Xiangping:

"Haha Xiangping, not bad, your dad is really good, you see at least the quality of this front desk, it is much stronger than before."

Li Xiangping couldn't cry and laugh more when he heard it, and while crying and laughing, he was actually a little embarrassed.

You must know that in the past, the company's logistics services have always been in charge of Lin is still in charge, who knows that Lin is still pregnant, Li Datuhao recruited a new front desk so quickly, and he still wants a much more beautiful new front desk.

Fortunately, Li Xiangping was not embarrassed for long, because just as he was about to explain, the old front desk in front of the company quickly appeared.

"Little Xiao -----"

The old front desk gave the new front desk a look, and then walked briskly to the front:

"Xiangping is here? And Mr. Cai, hello, Mr. Li is now meeting guests in the office, or ....... you look?"

The old receptionist's surname is Yuan, but Li Xiangping and Lao Cai both know each other. Since she said it so vaguely, Li Xiangping naturally didn't say anything, but Lao Cai was also an old Jianghu:

"Hehe, Xiao Yuan is fine, since your family Mr. Li is so busy, then let's wait here."

"Okay, thank you, you sit on the sofa, I'll bring you a cup of coffee, by the way, Xiao Xiao, you make a cup of tea for Xiangping......"

After Li Xiangping and Lao Cai sat down, Lao Cai immediately chattered:

"Yo, the new one is coming, the old one is not going yet, it seems that Lao Li really has a big move, by the way, you Xiangping is here, he still dares to pry us down, what kind of big man did he see today?"

Three minutes later, the "big man" in Lao Cai's mouth quickly walked downstairs.

Li Xiangping looked fixedly: Yo?! How is this guy.
