MTL - An Impossible to Reject Confession-Chapter 31 City B, Go Association. ...

City B, Go Association.

Qi Fang is the organizer of this fixed stage competition. The registration for this year was completed yesterday. The assistant handed him the registration form that was just sorted out. Qi Fang casually flipped a few pages and said with a smile, "A lot of familiar names."

"Jian Qiuqun should be able to pass this year." Qi Fang said.

"He must be fine. If it wasn't for the last two days of last year, he would have passed last year. It's a pity." The assistant said.

"It's a pity, but I can't blame others. The competition tests not only chess skills, but also physical and psychological tests. Don't people lose their mentality every year because they can't bear the pressure." Qi Fang Road.

At this moment, there was a sound at the door, and the two of them looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw a group of people passing by the door. A man in a suit was surrounded by the crowd and walked straight in.

"Mr. Qiao? That's Teacher Qiao." The assistant said in surprise.

"It's him." Qi Fang nodded.

"Yeah, Huaguo Go can always trust Teacher Qiao, but you can't always rely on Teacher Qiao." Qi Fang sighed.

"The several disciples Mr. Qiao accepted, Liu Qing 8 dan, Wang Meng 9 dan, are all very strong in chess." The assistant said.

"Liu Qing's 8th dan and Wang Meng's 9th dan are considered the top in China, but they are still a little worse internationally. They have not been able to win R country in several leagues. But these are okay, Teacher Qiao has a few more years to play, and they all have time to grow up, but the younger generation of chess players are not enough to watch." Every year, the fixed stage competition is organized by Qi Fang, and after these years, there are new chess players every year. Professional chess players appeared in the chess world, but what surprised him was not.

"Mr. Qiao has a son. It is said that he is talented, but unfortunately he is only eight years old." The assistant said.

"Son?" Referring to Qiao Dongyuan's son, Qi Fang couldn't help but think of one person, "Mr. Qiao's son is really a pity."

"I'm talking about trees." Qi Fang said.

"Arbor? It sounds familiar."

"Qiao Mu is Teacher Qiao's eldest son, born to his ex-wife, a genius boy six years ago." Qi Fang sighed, "It's really a pity for him."

"Mr. Qiao also has an eldest son?" The assistant was stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Qiao's marriage with his ex-wife did not last long. After the divorce, the children belonged to his ex-wife, and he has always been very low-key, so few people know about it. That child... Forget it, Hurry up and put out the schedule and make an announcement in the past few days. Many chess players here have jobs in reality, and they must be arranged earlier." Qi Fang said.

"Yes." The assistant turned around and was about to leave, when a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he called out, "I remember."

"What do you remember?" Qi Fang was startled by his assistant.

"Qiao Mu, among the people who signed up this year, there is also a guy named Qiao Mu, a very handsome young man." The assistant can remember Qiao Mu's name because when the application form was reviewed, the young man was very handsome The appearance is so eye-catching that he couldn't help but take a second glance and remember it.

"Where?" Qi Fang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly flipped through the registration form in his hand. The name of Qiaomu was found on Da's registration form.

Qiao Mu, 17 years old, student in Hongluo Town, J City.

Name, age, address are all correct.

"Where's the photo? Get his photo." Qi Fang shouted to his assistant excitedly.

The assistant sighed, sat back at his workstation, quickly tapped the keyboard a few times with his fingers, and called up Qiao Mu's registration form. A handsome young man with a smile appeared on the screen.

"It's him, it's really him." Although the child has grown into a teenager, his eyebrows have not changed much. Qi Fang recognized it at a glance, "He actually came back."

"Mr. Qi, do you mean this Qiaomu is Teacher Qiao's son?" The assistant guessed it.

"That's right, it's him. I haven't seen him for seven years, and I feel a lot better." Seven years ago, the ten-year-old Qiao Mu collapsed and fainted in the arena because he couldn't bear the pressure of the game. He took it out with his own hands, and later he heard that Qiao Mu had gone to see a psychiatrist. Now that seven years have passed, the boy's eyebrows are clear and handsome, and his demeanor is clear, and he thinks that he has had a good life these past few years.

"Which dojo did he come from?" Qi Fang asked again.

"No matter what channel he signed up for, it's a good thing to come back." Over the years, the only newcomer who has given him a sense of surprise is Qiao Mu, although Qiaomu was broken seven years ago. But Qi Fang always believed that as long as Qiao Mu could overcome the psychological pressure, he would definitely become a top chess player like his father.

In the reception room of the Go Association, Qiao Dongyuan had just finished discussing the work with the staff, and was sitting with Aikangbo Jiuduan drinking tea. The two pour tea.

"Mr. Qiao, grandpa, drink tea." The boy said.

Qiao Dongyuan was startled: "Lao Ai, is this your grandson?"

Aikangbo chuckled: "Yes, my grandson, Aileshan, you can call him Xiaole, he is sixteen years old and just came back from abroad."

Qiao Dongyuan suddenly said: "No wonder I haven't seen it."

Aikangbo: "You have seen it, but you have forgotten it. When he was seven years old, I took him to your house and wanted him to worship you as a teacher."

Qiao Dongyuan frowned, thought for a moment, and finally got some impression: "It seems that there is such a thing."

"Your memory is not as good as that of an old man like me." Aikangbo shook his head and smiled, "But I don't blame you, you happened to be going out in a hurry that day. When you come back, his dad went to R country because of his job transfer, and he will take this child away with him, so I didn't mention it again later."

"That's a pity." Qiao Dongyuan said politely.

"It's not a pity, it's not too late to accept apprentices." Ai Kangbo took the opportunity.

"Now?" Qiao Dongyuan was a little caught off guard.

"Xiao Le has liked to play Go since he was a child, and has been studying at the dojo there since he went to R country. When he comes back to China during the winter and summer vacations to see me, I will also teach him some things. Not to mention one of the best, but also a leader. This time back to China, I came to participate in the fixed stage competition, so I thought, if Xiaole can pass the fixed stage competition this time, Dongyuan, you can let this child join you The chess club." Aikangbo said.

When Aileshan heard his grandfather's words, his big eyes looked at Qiao Dongyuan with anticipation.

Qiao Dongyuan slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, Aileshan is also smart, seeing Qiao Dongyuan's cup empty, he immediately went to refill: "Teacher, you drink tea."

Yes, Teacher Qiao stopped shouting, and called Teacher directly.

Qiao Dongyuan: "Lao Ai, you can keep people in your chess club."

"No, no, no, no, no, I'm old, I can't be ruthless, and I'm reluctant to beat me when I make a mistake." Ai Lao sighed, "And the person this kid worships is you, you teach him, he to be convinced.”

"Teacher, just accept me, I will work hard." Aileshan immediately followed.

Qiao Dongyuan was stared at by two pairs of eyes, an old man and a young man, and he couldn't stand it, not to mention that Ai Lao was still a senior, so he had to give this face: "Okay, if you perform in the fixed stage competition. Well, come to my chess club to report."

"Thank you, teacher, I will perform well and make sure that the first place passes the line." Aileshan assured excitedly.

"It's a good thing to be confident, but you should also guard against arrogance and impatience."

After chatting with Ai Lao for a while, Qiao Dongyuan was urged to leave by the assistant. While waiting for the elevator at the elevator entrance, Qiao Dongyuan was stopped by Qi Fang.

"Qi Fang." Qiao Dongyuan knows Qi Fang, and every year after the fixed stage competition, Qi Fang invites him to participate in the coaching competition with new players. Every year, the new players who pass the fixed stage competition have a chance to play against the top players, which is an encouragement for the new players. Qiao Dongyuan has only participated once, and he has never participated in it again.

"Mr. Qi, you don't want to invite Teacher Qiao to participate in the coaching competition." Qiao Dongyuan's assistant is a fat young man named Liu Ruifeng.

"That's right." Qi Fang nodded.

"Mr. Qi, you are too persistent. You are rejected every year. You ask every year." Assistant Liu was convinced.

"

Qiao Dongyuan looked at Qi Fang in surprise.

"What's the difference?" Assistant Liu also asked strangely.

Qi Fang smiled mysteriously, and handed the registration form hidden behind him to Qiao Dongyuan: "Mr. Qiao, look who this is."

Qiao Dongyuan glanced at the photo on the registration form, his serious face froze, his eyes fixed on the word Qiaomu next to the photo, and he was silent for a long time.

"Qiao Mu signed up for the fixed stage competition, don't you want to play a game with him?" Qi Fang used this reason to impress Qiao Dongyuan seven years ago.

The divorce between Qiao Dongyuan and his ex-wife was not pleasant. After the divorce, Qiao Mu's mother would rather let Qiao Mu learn Go with others than let Qiao Dongyuan stay in City B and let Qiao Dongyuan teach it himself. So until Qiao Mu was ten years old and participated in the fixed stage competition, Qiao Dongyuan was not able to play a game of chess with his son in person. Therefore, when Qi Fang invited him to participate in the coaching competition, he would agree.

But seven years ago, Qiao Mu failed to pass the fixed stage, but left the chess world in such an embarrassing way.

"Qiao Mu? It's the teacher's..." Assistant Liu excitedly grabbed the registration form in Qi Fang's hand and wanted to say something, but realized that Qiao Dongyuan's expression was wrong and stopped abruptly.

"Which dojo selected?" Qiao Dongyuan asked.

"I didn't pass the dojo, I got a place in an amateur competition." Qi Fang said.

"Even to compete in amateur competitions, what kind of fixed-stage competitions are you here to participate in?"

"Qiao Mu has no dojo recommendation. It is normal to take the amateur channel to get a quota. Teacher Qiao doesn't need to be angry." Qi Fang advised.

"Can people who can't even enter the dojo pass the fixed stage competition?" At this time, the elevator just opened, Qiao Dongyuan stepped in with a sullen face, and Assistant Liu was stunned and followed. Into the elevator. Then the elevator door closed, all the way down to the underground parking lot.

Qi Fang stood on the ground with some astonishment, and the little assistant ran over with gossip: "Mr. Qiao agreed?"

Qi Fang shook his head.

"No, you don't want to play with your son?"

"Let's wait until the fixed stage competition is over. If Qiaomu can pass the fixed stage competition smoothly, it shouldn't be a big problem." Qi Fang said.

Hongluo Town, Main Street Pottery Museum.

Qiao Mu took the printed schedule and pass and explained to the two of them: "The game will start on the 11.8th after half a month, and there will be a match every day. In special circumstances, there will be a bye, and only the elimination can advance. return."

"The location is in City B, do you have to book a hotel in advance?" Xu Youyou glanced at the address and said.

"It has to be booked in advance. Every year there is a fixed stage race. Hotels around here are very nervous." Qiao Mu nodded.

"Then it's decided now." Xu Youyou said, "The schedule has just come out, there should be room at this time."

Qiao Mu nodded, took out his mobile phone and searched for hotels near the stadium, and found that the hotels within three kilometers of the stadium were full. The last three people worked together with three mobile phones, and then they booked an express hotel about five kilometers away from the stadium. The room is generally not said, the price is still expensive.

"Let's book a better hotel, the hotel's evaluation is not very good." Lu Shi flipped through the online comments and said, "Look, some people say that the sound insulation is not very good, and the rest is not very good. How to play."

"Farewell, the traffic in City B is not good, so I live close to it. And all the people living around here are going to participate in the fixed-stage competition. Everyone has to compete, so it won't be too noisy. "Qiaomu doesn't want to spend too much time on the road.

"Okay, by the way, is your new ID card down yet?" After Qiao Mu lost weight, it was like a different person. When he came back from Haishi at the beginning of the year, the airport security check stared at his ID card. After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't connect the beautiful boy in front of me with the little fat man in the photo.

In order to prevent similar embarrassment, Qiaomu changed his ID card some time ago.

"Down." Qiao Mu said, and took out his ID card from his schoolbag.

Lu Shi flipped through Qiaomu's freshly obtained ID card, looking at the good-looking photo that didn't look like an ID photo at all, and turned to Xu Youyou with some ingratitude: "Then what, you also help me take a photo Let me take a photo of my ID, and I'll change my ID as well."

Photographs are required for the registration of the fixed stage competition and the ID card change, which was taken by Xu Youyou. The photo taken by Xu Youyou is naturally good-looking. Although it is an ID photo, Qiao Mu's face doesn't have too many expressions, but there is a faint smile and tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes, which can't be ignored. And Lu Shi's own ID photo was taken temporarily at the police station when he was applying for his ID card. Although his appearance was online and the photo did not collapse, his eyes were dull and his expression was stiff. Compared with Qiao Mu's photo, the difference was not Generally large.

"Isn't the photo on your ID card pretty?" When Qiao Mu changed his ID card, Xu Youyou also heard Lu Shi blowing that his ID card photo looked good.

"Good-looking means good-looking, but the expression is a little stiff." Lu Shi said.

"The expression is stiff, that's what the certificate should look like." Xu Youyou said.

"You only have eyes full of spring." Qiao Mu grabbed his ID card back.

"Youyou, come and get the fruit." Ms. Ji's voice came from the front, Xu Youyou responded, got up and walked out.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Mu only dared to warn Lu Shi when he saw Xu Youyou left.

"She can't hear it." Lu Shi said.

"What if I hear it?"

"Congratulations on hearing that."

The tree is puzzled.

"This kind of thing, most people will think that I am joking, but anyone who can hear something is a ghost like you. So, if she can hear it, it proves that she I like you too." Lu Shi said.

Qiao Mu was stunned, and his heart suddenly became mixed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ms. Ji packed up the pottery museum and was about to get off work. While tidying up the table, she found Qiaomu's ID card under the fruit tray.

"Youyou, Qiaomu left her ID card here." Ms. Ji said to Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou heard the voice: "Give it to me, I'll bring it to him tomorrow."

Ms. Ji walked over with her ID card and said as she walked, "Qiao Mu's photo was taken with real spirit, with a smile on his face and eyes. I don't know what he was thinking at the time, so happy."

Xu Youyou couldn't help bending her lips when she thought of Qiaomu's guilty conscience in the afternoon.
