"Yo Xiangping Daokai, you're here......."

Lao Cai greeted him very warmly, and when he walked up to the two, it was like he had just found two other young people not far away.

Boss Cai nodded over there and smiled very reservedly: "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Huang, you are also here?" Good, good. ”

In those two years, when the young people saw Lao Cai, their expressions and attitudes naturally changed immediately, the young men respectfully shouted "Mr. Cai is good", and the young women respectfully shouted with a little intimacy "Uncle Cai is good." "It's good to come here, hehe......" Lao Cai Chong said haha, but obviously, he didn't mean to talk to that side specifically, he immediately stretched out his hand to greet a young man, well, this young man Li Xiangping is also familiar, as for this person's identity, if it is in the entertainment industry, it should be called "assistant", and it should be the office director and the like, but it is here in Lao Cai, Lao Cai is a fashionable person, and it is said that he is called an administrative secretary.

"Then whoever is who, you lead Xiao Jiang and Xiao Huang in first....."

The administrative secretary seemed to recognize the two, he smiled at the two, and then made a "please" gesture, the two young people immediately smiled back, and after a few polite words with Lao Cai, he followed the administrative secretary into the house, but when he passed in front of Li Xiangping, Li Xiangping noticed that these two curiously glanced at themselves.

“...... Secretary of the Board, who are these two young people? ”

The administrative secretary was a little surprised: "Don't you know either of them, one of them, right ......" It's a pity that Zhao Daokai is not here now, because in the next step, the secretary of the board of directors said something that might make him vomit blood:

"Yes, that guy who is a little taller and a little more handsome is Li Xiangping."

"Li Xiangping?"

As soon as the secretary heard this tone, he knew that these two were definitely not Go lovers, not only were they not chess fans, but they might still be completely chess blind, so he changed his introduction method:

"Li Xiangping doesn't know, but Li Yuanhu of XX Group should always know, right?"

The two young men finally reacted a little: "Who? Mr. Li of XX Group! ”

The secretary of the board nodded, as Lao Cai's side, of course he knew that Lao Li was no longer what it used to be, and from the company's business, Lao Cai had too many places to ask for him, so he said to these two: "Yes, it is Mr. Li of XX Group, and this Li Xiangping, that is Mr. Li's son, and I have to tell you that there is no thing, the reason why Mr. Cai has a treat today, on the surface, is to celebrate the joy of housewarming, and more importantly, because his daughter has just returned to China, so Mr. Cai is happy. I invited close friends to come to my house to have fun, and you can't know it, this Li Xiangping, he and Mr. Cai's daughter are actually ....."

Speaking of this, Secretary Dong pretended to deliberately lower his voice, and when he finished speaking, a smile appeared on the faces of the two young people.

After introducing Li Xiangping, the young woman asked again:

"What about the other young man?"

This time, the secretary of the board of directors refused to say more, as an administrative secretary, he still has this professionalism, and knows what to say and what not to say:

"Hehe, don't inquire about this, I can only tell you like this, that young man, that even Mr. Cai can't afford to offend, don't you see that after they come, Mr. Cai needs to go out in person to greet him, in short, you remember one thing, tonight, these two young people are the guest of honor, this must be noted."

Of course, Li Xiangping didn't know at this time that he was regarded as the "guest of honor" by others, and the two "guest of honor" were being pulled by the host at the door to greet him warmly.

First Zhao Daokai spoke: "Uncle Cai, my dad asked me to tell you, he has other things to do tonight, so I can't come to congratulate you in person." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, knowing that your dad is very busy, I'm very happy that you can come to Uncle Cai."

Of course, Lao Cai knew in his heart that today was mainly for Cai Shanshan, and she also invited her to a group of classmates, since it was mainly young people, then Li Yuanhu and Zhao Jiadong would certainly not appear on this occasion easily.

In fact, Li Xiangping has already arrived, and the people who are here today are really mainly young people, except for Cai Shanshan's classmates, most of them are young people like the two years just now.

"Let's go to the door and talk."

Lao Cai personally led the two into the house, and after entering the house, Li Xiangping forgave the surrounding environment, and must admit that although he tried his best to belittle this house just now, it was the top standard, after all, Lao Cai is a local tyrant, and he is a local tyrant who can play Go and has a certain taste, so if you relax the standard a little, this villa is still quite good. This is a duplex villa, although it is not detached, but it is quite large.

After entering the house, it was Zhao Daokai who was the first to speak:

"Hey, Uncle Cai, where is Cai Shanshan?"

Lao Cai smiled: "A few classmates have already come over first, and she is chatting with her upstairs." ”

"That's it," Zhao Daokai pretended to wink at Li Xiangping: "I haven't seen Cai Shanshan for a semester, or Xiangping, let's go see her?" ”

Well, it's good that Zhao Daokai didn't blink, but his blinking made Li Xiangping a little embarrassed, so he smiled: "Her classmates are just your classmates, not my classmates, I don't know each other, you have to go yourself, I'm here to chat with Uncle Cai for a while." ”

Zhao Daokai smiled, with a look of "I knew that you kid didn't plant":

"Hehe, then I'll go, where are they Uncle Cai?"

"This way, go up from this staircase......" Lao Cai smiled and sent Zhao Daokai upstairs, and then returned to Li Xiangping to talk to him.

These two people are chatting, and of course the only topic is Go.

To borrow diplomatic rhetoric; The two first reviewed the "Samsung Cup" final that had just ended, Comrade Lao Cai first expressed deep regret for Li Xiangping's defeat, and was deeply saddened by the opportunity for him to miss the "Golden Slam", and then comforted Li Xiangping not to take this matter to heart, and told Li Xiangping not only himself, but also the people of the whole country may understand this matter, thinking that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and a loss does not mean anything, and everyone believes that Li Xiangping will be able to find the field next time, and the final victory must belong to Li Xiangping.

Looking back on the past, the next step is to look forward to the future, and the first thing to look forward to is, of course, the "LG Cup" final in a week.

"Xiangping, you should be almost prepared for the next game against Xiao Li, right? Well, I believe that as long as you relax your mind, it will definitely be no problem to take down Xiao Li, so from this point of view, it is a good thing to meet Xiao Li at this time, and he can be regarded as just hitting the muzzle. ”

Li Xiangping listened to it without squeaking, to say that although in his mind, Da Li and Xiao Li are actually opponents of the same level, even before the game with Da Li, he and Lao Shi privately analyzed, thinking that among the two opponents, maybe Xiao Li is more threatening, after all, with Xiao Li's weird chess style, his game is full of more uncertainty.

However, Li Xiangping knows in his heart that this is just his own and Lao Shi's opinion, and the outside world does not see it this way, such as Lao Cai's words just now, which actually represent the current mainstream public opinion.

If you think about it carefully, of course, it is not difficult to understand, because judging from the previous combat records seen by the outside world, although he has the upper hand over these two, Da Li still has won a lot more times.

On the other hand, Xiao Li, not only does he rarely win himself, but he even has quite a lot of defeats, he looks like he has lost very badly, and his losses don't seem to be of a grade.

Since this is the case, then at such a critical juncture, of course, the outside public opinion is unreservedly optimistic about itself.

Originally, according to common sense, in the face of this situation, Li Xiangping should have a burden in his heart, but even Li Xiangping himself is a little strange, as the competition is getting closer and closer, he now has no burden, nor any gains and losses, there is only desire in his heart, he is now eager to fight Xiao Li, eager to win a championship from Xiao Li, a world championship that completely belongs to him.

Of course, Li Xiangping knows in his heart that his current state of mind or state is undoubtedly a bit strange, but no matter from which point of view, his current state of mind is at least not a bad thing.

Looking forward to the recent game, one old and one young began to have a long-term outlook, Lao Cai is one of the owners of the club after all, so the two first look forward to the next year's siege.

Speaking of the next year's armor, Li Xiangping was a little energetic, and he even boasted to Lao Cai:

"Hey Uncle Cai, when it comes to Weijia, I'm actually quite sorry for you, you gave me a unique contract, but I didn't give you a unique return, but don't worry, wait until next year, it shouldn't be said to be this year, I think this year, we should be able to impact the championship."

"Oh?"

Lao Cai was a little surprised at this time, it is understandable to think about it, in the first season of Li Xiangping's joining, Lao Cai boasted about Haikou, that is, he said that the team's goal is to protect three and fight for one, what is the result? Li Xiangping's winning rate that year was still less than 50%, and the whole team had been rolling in the relegation zone until the end.

Last year's results were slightly better, but in fact, they have been in the middle of the table, and even the highest ranking has never been in the top three.

This year, in fact, the whole team has not changed much, in fact, it is just a Zhou Xiaoyang, this is a professional third stage who has not played in the armor, so of course Lao Cai does not know where Li Xiangping's confidence comes from.

Of course, Lao Cai didn't know that Li Xiangping's confidence came from Zhou Yangyang's classmates.

You must know that in real history, Zhou Yang is the most valuable chess player this season, he was in a weak team that had just been formed, as the main general in the third stage, it can be said that it was almost with one move, and the weak team was successfully relegated, and now there is such a strong reinforcement to join, then Li Xiangping of course wants to do something.

It's just that although Lao Cai doesn't know where Li Xiangping's confidence comes from, of course he won't pour cold water at this time today, so Lao Cai snorted.

"Good! Haha, as long as you have faith. ”

Wait for the two to look forward to the armor, the next thing is to look forward to other international competitions, on this topic, the two didn't talk much, the reason is very simple, because this year is 04 years, just the turn of the "Ying's Cup" to play, as the current highest prize money competition, and is still 4 years, then of course there is nothing to say, this competition is the top priority of this year.

Li Xiangping and Lao Cai were looking forward to the future downstairs, but upstairs in their house, Zhao Daokai teased Cai Shanshan in the coaxing of a group of female classmates:

"Haha Cai Shanshan, Li Xiangping is still waiting for you downstairs, I see who of the two of you is more calm, whether he comes up or you go down."

Cai Shanshan smiled like a flower; "Hmph, this stinky Li Xiangping, I don't want to go down to see him, I want to be beautiful."
