50 Go
Yang Zheng didn't think of his kindness, but in the end it brought him the trouble he hated the most.
When he was told to meet the owner of the Huajia Chess Club, it was already the second day.
He walked on the road, with some timidity when he was told that his teacher was looking for him as a child.
Along the way, he thought a lot, as an adult, an adult who is not too young, there must have been something wrong with what he did yesterday.
Even yesterday's impulses could have cost him his hard-earned job.
But he has done it, and there is no room for regret.
This also made him inexplicably appear a lot of excuses that he used to hate the most along the way.
Excuses are a common workplace avoidance.
It was a quote he had read in a book, and he remembered that after that sentence there was a phrase that was a clever excuse that would turn you from a wrongdoer to a corrector.
But Yang Zheng also understands that he is not a smart person.
He couldn't choose the one that seemed smarter among the many excuses that came to his mind.
The road was not long, but he walked for a long time.
Until he reached the gate, he gritted his teeth and shook his head.
In the end, I decided to face it calmly.
……
The boss of the Huajia Chess Club is a master who sees the head of the dragon but does not see the end, which is the first impression of many people on him.
Likewise, he is also a business wizard.
In just a few decades, he has gone from having nothing at the beginning to "having everything" now.
He is also a chess master, at the peak of his career, he was only one kick away from becoming the youngest chess grandmaster, and in addition to that, he is also a Go master.
But such a person who looks almost perfect seems to be invincible to the torrent of time, and his name has long been forgotten by many people at the peak of chess today.
He quietly looked at Yang Zheng, who was raising his head and holding his chest up, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Yang Zheng also looked at him sitting as straight as a pine, and he didn't know how to speak.
For a moment, the entire office fell into a long dead silence.
The two of them were silent for nearly five minutes.
"You're Yang Zheng, right? I've heard chess nerds talk about you, and she says you're a very special person. He finally spoke.
But his words also made Yang Zheng even more unsure of what to answer.
Yang Zheng chewed on his words carefully, trying to analyze whether the word "special" was positive or derogatory, but soon he also gave up, and he nodded, a little wooden.
And he seems to be able to accept Yang Zheng's "Mu Ne" at this time.
He pointed to the chess cabinet on the side very relaxed, and asked with a smile, "Let's have a game?" ”
Yang Zheng did not refuse, he inexplicably had a hunch that this game of chess could decide many things.
At the very least, it can decide the outcome of yesterday's impulsiveness after yesterday.
But what Yang Zheng didn't expect was that he actually took out two cans of Go from the chess cabinet.
He also handed a jar of white seeds to Yang Zheng as a matter of course, and he took the first black spot as a matter of course.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and for some reason, he relaxed.
The woodenness in his eyes was finally swept away.
Go, Yang Zheng was obsessed with it for a while, but it was more than 20 years ago, he knew the rules, and when he looked at the empty chessboard, there was always a desire to fill it.
Yang Zheng's Go skills are not good, in addition to knowing the simple rules of Go, he also knows the nine marking points of the Go board, which must be preempted first.
This kind of preferential preemption is a beginner's misunderstanding, and it is also the mainstream method of folk amateurism more than 20 years ago.
In that era when television media were not developed, many amateurs played Go like this, thinking that by seizing the opportunity in this way, they could have a few more chances of winning in the end.
But this kind of preemption is often the most stupid.
Many beginner chess players are defeated one by one by some Go masters because the opening layout is too scattered, and excessive greed often brings ruinous results.
But Yang Zheng has not played Go for too long, and he has little contact with professional Go competitions.
This hand also made the other side stunned for a while.
Yang Zheng also seemed to realize that he had made a mistake in this long period of time.
But he has no regrets.
He watched his opponent's next hand land on his left side, and he didn't hesitate to still grab the other "star positions".
After just a few hands, Yang Zheng has already occupied a full six star positions.
On the other side, it was around the star position occupied by Yang Zheng, but it simply dropped the chess pieces that seemed to have lost momentum, and it looked like a black spot that had failed to compete for the star position.
"Looks like you don't know how to play Go at all!" He couldn't help but sigh.
But he quickly realized that he seemed to be too straightforward, and then smiled a little awkwardly.
Yang Zheng nodded, agreeing with the words of the other side.
Because in the next few hands, he tasted the evil fruit of greed and not enough snake swallowing elephants.
The sunspots that are connected one by one are like beasts that choose people to devour, savage, and ferocious, making it difficult for the chess pieces on their star positions to move an inch.
Many times, I care too much about the temporary gains and losses in front of me, and I ruin what should be a bright future.
But Yang Zheng is also very good at learning, and is even better at summarizing his mistakes in failure, and also tries to organize a few decent-looking attacks.
But in the end, it is always one step away, and it is swallowed by the other side.
Soon, the chessboard was already half full of chess pieces, but it was obviously more black and less white, and the ending was already clear at a glance.
But Yang Zheng still didn't give up, he desperately looked for the weakness on the other side, but after looking for a long time, he seemed to only find his own weakness.
"Do you know that there is a basic truth in Go?" The other side seemed to appreciate Yang Zheng's persistence, and even took the initiative to explain the truth of Go to him.
"What's the truth?"
"That is, one eye and one breath of Go, two eyes and two breaths, one eye of dead chess, two eyes of live chess, and people are also living two breaths."
Yang Zheng listened to this truth that he had never heard before, and he looked at the chessboard for a while, not knowing what to say.
He has always heard the saying that all people live just to fight for a breath.
It was also the first time he had heard the saying that people live two breaths.
"What two breaths does that man live?"
Yang Zheng asked silently again.
"Angry and angry." The other side paused and said: "Only after you are really angry, will you be more eager to fight for qi than others." ”
After Yang Zheng heard this, he thought thoughtfully.
He looked at the game that was not yet over, and the pieces that he had just considered his weaknesses had suddenly turned into strengths.
"Interesting, interesting, people live for two breaths!"
