Zhou Mian sat on the plane and suddenly became uneasy.

The feeling even diluted his uncomfortable feelings.

Ever since Ah Ling left with his clothes, he has rarely been alone with a girl. Especially since the seats on this plane are so narrow, the two are literally crammed together.

Song Bingyin glanced at the corner of his eyes, secretly amused in his heart. She didn't expect that Mr. Zhou, who was adored and admired by hundreds of millions of chess fans, would be cramped and restless. Busy explained: "Mr. Zhou, please forgive. This is Chairman Ke's personal landline. To make it easy for you to recognize, I borrowed it temporarily, a little smaller. ”

Zhou Mian smiled reluctantly: "It's okay. Maybe I have been less active in the past two years and have been blessed. ”

Song Bingyin chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you can't be fat. I've seen some comments from reporters who watched the game, saying that you are tall and heroic, and you have no expression during the game, like a god of war, which makes people respect and fear, and you are afraid before you fight. ”

Zhou Mian's face flushed slightly, and said: "Those reporters like to write nonsense. ”

Song Bingyin smiled and said, "You are too modest, sir." It's not just journalists, everyone says that. This time, the company sent me to pick you up, and several sisters in the public relations department were very jealous! Mr. Zhou, you don't know, they are all admirers of you, and every Friday afternoon, they hold the newly published Go Bulletin, and they are very impressed with your chess and at the same time they are judging your people. I've been listening to you for a long time, and even I'm hooked on you. ”

She deserves to be a public relations background, and after a few words, the distance between the two sides was suddenly shortened. Although Zhou Mian was praised by her, her face was red, but she felt quite warm in her heart.

After all, this is after his fiasco!

Zhou Mian gradually adapted to the chair and said, "Miss Song, I seem to have heard that you have been the head of the public relations department of Weiyi Company for several years?" ”

Song Bingyin was surprised and delighted, and blurted out: "Yes, I worked in the company when I was eighteen years old, and I was in charge of the public relations department two years later, and it has been more than three years now." ”

Zhou Mian said: "I know that in Mr. Ke's eyes, marketing, scientific research, and public relations are the three pillars of Weiyi. It is not easy for Miss Song to sit in the first position in such an important department at such a young age! ”

Song Bingyin was overjoyed. She didn't expect Zhou Xuan, a big celebrity, to speak so highly of her, smiled sweetly, and said, "What is this?" You're amazing! Ninety percent of our employees are your biggest fans, and there are countless people around the world who adore you. Even if you are the president of a country and a film and television star, you are not as well-known as you. ”

Zhou Mian laughed: "Okay, okay, Miss Song, we don't have to praise each other." I want to know, what good things are waiting for me in Mr. Ke, so mysterious? ”

Song Bingyin felt slightly embarrassed. Zhou Mian said: "Miss Song is Mr. Ke's favorite general, won't she say she doesn't know?" ”

Song Bingyin smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhou, you praised me so much, it turned out that you were trying to squeeze me?" ”

Zhou Mian said: "Miss Song, don't get me wrong. This time I was defeated by Xiao Ai, which was a big defeat I had never had. I haven't figured out what the hell is wrong with this. I was trying to get out and think about it. Even if Mr. Ke doesn't invite me, I will find a place to relax and calm down. I'm just a little curious, what is there to say about Mr. Ke? He's not such a sneaky person! ”

Song Bingyin frowned slightly, changed the topic and said, "I heard that Ai Qiduan is only twenty years old, how did you cultivate him, and he is so powerful?" ”

Zhou Mian knew her thoughts, no longer forced her, and said: "Green out of blue!" Why is this surprising? Xiao Ai's talent is not bad, and he is willing to work hard, so he naturally makes rapid progress, so I didn't bother much. He played a particularly good game in this cosmic battle, feeling, calculating the way, making trade-offs, advancing and retreating, chic and free, and never made mistakes. I think I'm afraid I still underestimate his strength. ”

Song Bingyin said: "In this way, after Mr. Ji, it should be the world of Ai Qiduan?" ”

Zhou Mian said: "No. When it comes to the high level of talent, Xiao Ai is only afraid that he can't catch up with Wei Tianxing. With Wei Jiuduan here, Xiao Ai definitely didn't dare to relax a little. What's more," a glimmer appeared in his eyes, "I haven't conceded defeat yet!" ”

Song Bingyin looked at him with admiration, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Sir, according to your words, what genre do you belong to?" Is it an enterprising struggler? Or is it a free-spirited balance? Or the flow of the four empty waves? ”

Zhou said in surprise: "Miss Song's statement is refreshing. But that's not the chess world. ”

Song Bingyin smiled: "Yes! This is what we are used to saying by the ladies and gentlemen of the PR department. Your chess is called the Strugglers. I don't quite understand, so I'd like to ask you to explain it in your jargon. ”

Zhou Mian thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's very difficult to distinguish. Reluctantly divided, it can be roughly divided into three major schools: rigidity and softness, softness and rigidity, and pure yin. The rigid and soft school plays chess tightly and powerfully, and each move seeks the most efficient way to play; The Rougang school emphasizes the balance between the earth and the potential; The Pure Yin School advocates flowing water without competing for the first, and takes the word 'patience' as the supreme heart method of the school. I probably belong to the Gangjiu faction, which is what you call the struggle clan. Well, Wei Tianxing is a person who is at ease and has an excellent sense of balance; Xiao Ai is nicknamed 'Little Old Man', with a fine chess style and solid basic skills. The two of them can be regarded as the heads of the Rougang faction and the pure Yin faction. Ha ha! ”

Song Bingyin smiled and said: "Ai Qiduan is young, can he be empty and go with the flow?" ”

Zhou Mian said: "There is a couplet hanging in his bedroom, the upper couplet is 'You must be careful in life', and the lower couplet is 'Remember to be an inch in the self-cultivation'." What is the edge of the heart, inch by inch? It is to take patience as the top and patience as the highest! ”

Song Bingyin shook his head: "It's terrible!" ”

Zhou said: "From an expert's point of view, Wei Tianxing's school will gradually occupy a dominant position in the chess world. Today's Go has reached a fairly high level, and perhaps in another ten or twenty years, there will be a qualitative breakthrough. It will be the nuances of how the big picture feels that will determine the outcome then. This kind of change in key points is extremely detrimental to me and Xiao Ai. Maybe by then, there will be no more strugglers and drifting with the waves. ”

Song Bingyin said: "I don't know chess. But I know that, from a hobbyist's point of view, I appreciate masculine chess more. Because this kind of chess is more exciting and live viewing. Experts have their point of view though they have a point. But due to the high commercialization of Go, I can be sure that the hard work clan will never be annihilated. ”

Zhou Mian listened carefully.

He had never thought about it in that way.

Song Bingyin said: "Give the most practical example. In February this year, a few days before the Spring Festival, Ai Qiduan and Wei Jiuduan played the final of the next cup in Hong Kong. The chess fans in our public relations department just watched the chess silently, occasionally saying a word or two, and the whole company was silent. But a few days ago, our company stabbed Ma Fengwo like an earthquake, it was noisy and chaotic, and the sound was particularly loud. Do you understand why? It's because of the space war in Beijing. I'm not qualified to comment on Wei Jiuduan's chess, but I at least know that your style of chess is more suitable for the audience. ”

Zhou Mian knew that the "what cup" she said was actually the oldest "celebrity war" in China. Because he unexpectedly lost to the new Xiao Shihai in the round-robin circle, he gave Xiao Ai the opportunity to play with him. Xiao Ai, who was greatly boosted, played well, and half an eye won and took away the right to challenge. In the final, Wei Tianxing fought hard for five rounds and retained the celebrity throne.

In Zhou Mian's opinion, the level of Wei Ai's five-set battle is quite high. There were few big mistakes on either side, and the victory was only a fraction of a second. It can be called a Spring Festival gift from the two masters to the world's chess fans.

He understands that because of his outstanding results in the past ten years, chess fans like him and even adore him. It barely occurred to him that perhaps his style of play was the main reason they loved him.

He felt that part of his confidence that had been lost by the fiasco had been somewhat restored.

He glanced at Song Bingyin gratefully. This glance made him suddenly have a strange feeling. Song Bingyin did not expect his words of gratitude, but was willing to be his friend.

He looked at her again. Song Bingyin smiled slightly.

Zhou Mian knew that his intuition had not deceived him.

He smiled at her, too. I already regarded her as a reliable friend in my heart.

Song Bingyin's heart is hot. At the same time, she understood his thoughts.

It was such an amazing moment!

Then both bowed their heads and stopped talking, silently enjoying the pleasure of this sudden but natural friendship.

The plane landed on the wide track and field of Weiyi. The track and field has a standard 800-meter track. Not far from the athletics field is a standard football field. The two fields are connected into one, one green in color. To the south, a few steps down, is an eight-story building. Almost all the events in the Olympic Games can find their own venue here.

The second session on this floor is the "Sports City" that the Hong Kong media talk about and make tens of thousands of employees of Weiyi Company proud.

Ke Weiyi and several attachés stood on the starting line of the runway to greet Zhou Mian. He was not yet thirty years old, and his figure was still as handsome, and his eyes were bright. As soon as he saw Zhou Mian, he grabbed a few steps, held Zhou Mian's hands, and an irrepressible joy appeared on his face: "Brother Zhou, it's been hard all the way!" ”

Before Zhou Wei could answer, Ke Weiyi suddenly stretched out a long neck behind his shoulders, and on his neck was a big head full of black hair like unkempt weeds. The only visible piece of laughter came out of the big head's facial features: "With Miss Song by your side, how can it be hard?" ”

Zhou Mu took a cursory look and recognized that it was Gao Shan, the director of the scientific research institute of Weiyi Company, and next to him was Zheng Gui, the manager of the marketing department, who was well-dressed and smiling, all of whom were old friends. I couldn't help laughing: "Scared me!" Giraffe, you came to see me like this? If you want to talk nonsense again, be careful that I will kill you again, and you will be happy! ”

Ke Weiyi and Zheng Gui glanced at each other, and they both laughed.

It turned out that Gao Shan was very addicted to chess, and he was extremely conceited, claiming to make his second son invincible in the world. Once Zhou Mian was a guest at Weiyi Company, and let the third son play a game with Gao Shan. At that time, the crowd of spectators made Takayama very nervous, and he repeatedly got up to go to the toilet, and there was an astonishing record of going to the toilet three times in ten minutes. Zheng Gui, who was watching the battle, ridiculed him for the mountains and flowing water, and was not too busy. Ke Weiyi was also there at the time, so he knew this allusion.

It's also strange to say that every time Gao Shan cleans his hands, he comes back with a wonderful hand. Zheng Gui was suspicious in his heart, and he had followed him a few times, but he didn't find anything strange. Zhou Mian went all out, made strange moves, and finally came back for the eleventh time in Gaoshan, and it was a coincidental draw, and both parties were happy. Zhou Mian admires Gaoshan chess skills very much, and believes that he has the level of professional second dan, and his chess strength is the best in Weiyi Company.

Ke Weiyi stopped laughing and said to Song Bingyin: "Miss Song has also worked hard. ”

Song Bingyin glanced at Zhou Mu and said with a smile: "It's not hard. It's just Mr. Zhou's question that makes it difficult for me to answer. ”

Ke Weiyi thought about it, understood what she was talking about, and nodded.

Zheng Gui said: "Miss Song is eloquent, what is the problem with Brother Zhou, can he stump Miss Song?" ”

Gao Shan squeezed his eyes and said, "That must be about Miss Song's own problem." ”

Song Bingyin's pretty face turned and glared at Gao Shan: "What did you say?" ”

Gao Shan looked at Zheng Gui, and Zheng Gui rolled his eyes. He is cheerful and likes to joke, and the nickname "Giraffe" was given to Gao Shan by Zheng Gui. Gao Shan was not angry, seeing that Zheng Gui's head was pointed and his body was round, and his neck was slightly crooked, he sneered at him and gave him the nickname "Eccentric Turtle". These two people are witty and humorous in their spare time, so they are quite popular. His subordinates privately gave the two people No. 1: Turtle Deer Great Tonic Pill. It means that being with them often is like taking a tonic, and you can live a long life. But Song Bingyin was very disgusted with their oily and slippery style, and Gao and Zheng also felt that Song Bingyin was too serious and incompatible with them, and the three of them were estranged. On a whim, Gao Shan made a joke about Song Bingyin. Song Bingyin pretended not to hear it for the first time, but this time she refused to let it go.

Zheng Gui thought to himself: "I'm just casually perfunctory, biased to your mouth, and I want to use this tone." Isn't there nothing to do! Hurriedly glanced at Zhou Mu and sent a distress signal.

Zhou Xuan understood and said, "Brother Ke called me this time, I don't know what is beautiful?" Miss Song didn't leak a drop of water, and she just wanted to whet my appetite. ”

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent. After a full ten seconds, Ke Weiyi smiled and said, "You can't blame Miss Song for this. It was I who commanded her. Because it's really interesting, it's so funny! ”

Zhou Mian saw that Ke Weiyi was just forcing a smile. Song Bingyin, who was about to provoke just now, turned his head and went to see a few children playing football on the football field next door. Gao Shan and Zheng Gui's faces were also dyed with an inexplicable mystery. He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh: "Interesting! Interesting! It's so much fun! ”
