"This is Paris?"
"Or else do you think? γγβ
The 3rd World Chess Holy War European Open Qualifiers were held in Paris, France. For this trip to Paris, Lin Mengyu is still looking forward to it. What is that place in Paris? The city of fashion, the capital of romance, and the girl's home are always full of longing for this kind of thing.
However, Li Xiaoqiang has never had a good impression of Paris, or more precisely, all French people.
Of course, this is not Li Xiaoqiang's racial discrimination, but in his previous life, "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" went to Africa to work many times. As you know, France had many colonies in Africa in the early years, and the official language of many countries was French, and it is inextricably linked with France until now. Then Li Xiaoqiang, who does engineering, will inevitably deal with some French.
How so? The French may be romantic, but they are unreliable at work, which makes Li Xiaoqiang, who is rigorous by nature, very unaccustomed to working with them.
Of course, this is not the main reason, the most important thing is because of another thing, remember when Li Xiaoqiang was still young, at that time "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" was not "Deputy Chief Engineer Li", still just an ordinary engineer, Li Xiaoqiang went to Africa to participate in a project, the project is relatively large, belongs to a multi-party cooperation of international projects, the construction party is us Chinese, but most of the designers and supervisors are Europeans, especially French, everyone works together.
At that time, the project had already entered the construction stage, which meant that most of the work was done by Chinese. The design unit of this project is a French design firm, and they sent 2 staff members to act as the designer's resident representative.
Those who have construction experience know that the so-called "designer's resident representative" is really nothing, and it does not need to be of much level, mainly acting as a liaison.
Of course, the French side was aware of this situation, so the resident representatives they sent to the construction site were two young men, a French girl and a Belgian girl.
At that time, although Li Xiaoqiang was only an ordinary engineer, he was already very skilled in business, and he served as the head of the engineering department on this project, and it was also Li Xiaoqiang's job to liaise with the design institute.
After coming and going, Li Xiaoqiang was very familiar with the two European girls. And because Li Xiaoqiang is really proficient in business, many design problems do not need the designer to come to the construction site in person, and one or two phone calls can be communicated and solved. In this way, the work of the two girls is naturally more and more idle, and there is nothing to do at all except for running around behind Li Xiaoqiang's ass every day.
Of course, the mouths of the two girls are also sweet, and every day Teacher Li grows and Teacher Li keeps screaming, especially the French girl: "Li Gong, I admire you so much, I really want to marry you... β
That project was very long, it would take several years. After a long time, colleagues on the project joked with Li Xiaoqiang: "Li Gong, strive to win glory for the country... β
At that time, Li Xiaoqiang really hadn't married yet, and "winning glory for the country" did have that condition. Although Li Xiaoqiang never thought of finding a foreign girl, everyone knows that a good-looking person like Li Xiaoqiang, everyone's words really satisfy his vanity.
But in the end, something happened that made Li Xiaoqiang depressed, two years later, when the project was about to end, the two European girls did become Chinese daughters-in-law, and the Belgian girl found a steel worker on the construction site. And what about the French girl? Well, I found a legendary excavator...
Li Xiaoqiang remembered that this incident was a sensation at the time, not only the CEO of Li Xiaoqiang's unit group company, but even officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs went to the construction site to congratulate the two guys on winning glory for the country.
But everyone else was happy, only Li Xiaoqiang was depressed. Li Xiaoqiang, who felt very faceless, became angry with all the French people from then on.
"How do I feel like Paris?"
"Of course, the French are notoriously sloppy, and their capital, Paris, may be the epitome of the whole of Europe."
This time, Li Xiaoqiang was accompanied by Hu Yi and Zhang Da reporters, and on the Japanese side, due to Hu Yi's special arrangement, Lin Mengyu has not yet met with Yukari Umezawa. Reporter Zhang Da looked around and felt that although Paris was ordinary, it was not as unbearable as Li Xiaoqiang said:
"Xiaoqiang, have you been here before?"
"Of course I ... Didn't come. β
Li Xiaoqiang almost blurted out, but fortunately stopped at the last moment. Although the topic did not continue, this is indeed Li Xiaoqiang's true sense of Paris, in his previous life, Li Xiaoqiang often traveled to Paris on business. How to describe it? If in recent decades, China has been like a big construction site, then the whole of Europe is like a big countryside.
If you want to appreciate the idyllic scenery, if you want to appreciate the real charm of Europe, you really have to go to some of the small European towns, like Paris, the so-called cosmopolitan metropolis, except for a few places, most of the other places are dilapidated. And there are more than 3 in Paris: there are many thieves, there are many homeless people, and there are many sex workers. Therefore, in addition to fame, Li Xiaoqiang thinks that Shencheng can get rid of Paris several times.
Walking next to the famous Champs-ElysΓ©es, reporter Zhang Da found something as if he was curious about the baby:
"Huh? What is that? β
Li Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes: "Then what else can there be, the product of the homeless man's open defecation." β
βγγγβ
Seeing that Li Xiaoqiang didn't seem to be in high spirits, reporter Zhang Da of course thought that he knew the reason very well.
Thinking about it, of course, Reporter Zhang Da is very aware of the relationship between Li Xiaoqiang and the two women, and Reporter Zhang Da even knows that even Lin Mengyu actually knows the existence of Yukari Umezawa. It's just that now, after all, it is Li Xiaoqiang and Lin Mengyu's newlywed, and in such a time period, it seems really inappropriate to let Yukari Umezawa come to join in the fun.
Taking advantage of Lin Mengyu's attention being attracted by other places, reporter Zhang Da said to Hu Yi:
"Mr. Hu, it seems a little inappropriate for you to arrange it like this, right?"
"Misarrangement, misarrangement... Hu Yi smiled bitterly: "When I arranged this at that time, I really didn't know that Xiaoqiang was getting married at this time, but I knew that when Xiaoqiang got married, this matter had already been arranged." There's no way, everyone has agreed, I can't let people not come, right? It's all about popularizing Go, so I have to embarrass Xiaoqiang, but I still believe in Xiaoqiang, I believe he can handle the relationship between the two sides, isn't it Xiaoqiang... β
Speaking of which, Hu Yi also squeezed his eyes at Li Xiaoqiang for the old disrespect.
"Yes, yes, popularize Go, all for the sake of popularizing Go... Reporter Zhang Da seems to have found an excuse for Li Xiaoqiang: "Hu Da Tuhao, you are still doing this beautifully, although our China is the birthplace of Go authenticity, but it has always lagged behind the Japanese in popularizing Go, which makes many foreigners think that Go originated in Japan... Speaking of this, reporter Zhang Da looked indignant: "... So Mr. Hu, you have done a good job, I fully support it, and I believe that Xiaoqiang also fully supports it... β
At this time, Li Xiaoqiang next to him suddenly interjected:
"I remember Britain's first prime minister, Washington, once saying...
"Ha Xiaoqiang, what are you talking about? Washington, Britain? Also the first prime minister? Xiaoqiang, it's not me saying you.,Although you play reverse Go well, but in other aspects... In other aspects, you can't be too unskilled. β
At this moment, reporter Zhang Da looked at Li Xiaoqiang's eyes full of contempt.
"I said reporter Zhang, you seem to be a little wrong, right?"
You... Xiaoqiang, what kind of mess are you, it's obviously your own fault... β
"I'm saying you're not right."
"Why am I not right?"
"I said the British in Washington, you see you immediately despise me. But why don't Westerners who think Go originated in Japan despise them? Instead, you want to be indignant there. This is your wrong attitude, or rather, this is the wrong mentality of most Chinese people. β
βγγγβ
In short, arguing about this kind of issue, reporter Zhang Da was always speechless by Li Xiaoqiang. But thinking about Li Xiaoqiang's words makes sense. What does a Westerner's belief that Go originated in Japan mean other than that the Westerner is shallow and ignorant? Isn't this something very profound, and is it obligated to explain this common-sense thing to them? Is it all the more necessary to feel angry and indignant because of this?
It's not necessary, in the final analysis, it's actually your own mentality.
Although Li Xiaoqiang's words sound very reasonable, this is non-mainstream after all, so reporter Zhang Da didn't care. He even thought that the reason why Li Xiaoqiang was raising the bar with him was because of Yuka Umezawa's troubles. However, the ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet her in-laws, and the two daughters will eventually meet on this not easy occasion.
"Who else will come over this time but her?"
"And Takemiya, the famous "Cosmic Stream" Mr. Masaki Takemiya. β
"Ha, from the point of view of promoting Go, there is no more luxurious combination than this in the small forced Takemiya Kamazawa Yukari, it seems that FIDE is really a little thoughtful in this regard."
Soon after, the two groups of people who came to participate in the opening ceremony of the 3rd "World Chess Holy War" European Qualifiers finally converged.
"Hello Mr. Takemiya, it's been a long time."
Because of the existence of the two women, Li Xiaoqiang could only pretend to greet Masaki Takemiya, and then focus his attention on the other side.
On the other side, Lin Mengyu finally officially faced Yukari Umezawa.
"Hello."
"Hello."
The two greeted each other politely, and then looked at each other calmly.
Although they seem to be calm, they look at each other differently.
Lin Mengyu looked at Yukari Umezawa's eyes full of vigilance. And what about Yukari Umezawa? Her eyes towards Lin Mengyu were full of envy.
Yes, Li Xiaoqiang saw envy in Yukari Umezawa's gaze.
"Big head... At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang could only shake his head and sigh in his heart. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
