Mandy, who was holding the phone, suddenly changed her tune. Because she realized that she had made the wrong move, she wanted to change her tune. She suddenly raised her head and slammed the table hard, causing the other side of the table to fall into a long test. The sweaty Moroccan chess player almost vomited from his throat. come out.
In Pavilion B of the Spanish National Pavilion, in front of one of the countless chess tables that has attracted the most attention, the Moroccan chess player took his eyes off the chessboard in front of him and looked up at Spain across the table in horror. Blonde female chess king.
He noticed that the beautiful face of the other party who was talking on the phone had a rather gloomy expression. He thought that the girl was dissatisfied with him for taking long exams and wasting time. In a hurry, he could only give in aggrievedly.
"I surrender."
Reporters from major magazines and chess websites next to the chess board immediately took pictures, and the flashes of their cameras rang out. The referee came over with a confused look on his face and looked at Mandy, who was still playing chess and still on the phone, and whispered, "Ms. Gonzalez, We are still in the middle of the competition. Is it a little bit that you keep communicating...I don't mean that, I just want to say that this may have a lot of negative effects on you. After all, people's words are scary."
"If you think I'm cheating, you can disqualify me. I don't need to use this competition to prove my strength, but your competition requires me to win the championship to prove the gold content of the event itself." Mandy lowered her head and glanced at the chessboard in front of her. The quality is worrisome, and he said calmly that he almost won the chess game with a murderous attitude.
She ignored the referee's embarrassment and entanglement, suddenly stood up, pushed away the ergonomic chair carefully prepared by the tournament for each player, stood up, glanced coldly at the reporters and other stunned players in the room, and held The phone left the game with an expressionless expression.
When Mandy Gonzalez left the room where the game was played, as she walked out, the flash exploded several times brighter than before, the shutter clicked continuously, and under the spotlight, the red velvet restraints on the backstage were polished into chess pieces. The "Queen's" crystal trophy sparkles.
This means she gave up that trophy, a trophy that meant nothing to her.

"Mandy! Mandy!"
Outside the corridor of the lounge, an agent wearing a black butt-hugging skirt ran over anxiously. When he saw the familiar blonde girl leaning against the corridor with her mobile phone in hand, she immediately quickened her pace and clicked her high heels.
"Mandy! When I was scrolling through 'X' and 'instagram' just now, I saw that group of reporters making up nonsense again. They falsely accused you of acting like a big name during the game and doing it through your mobile phone..." The manager ran up to him panting,
But she found Mandy raising her hand to signal her to be quiet.
"Shin Noble Junior & Senior Highschool... never heard of it? That shouldn't be a very famous school in China, what? Is it a high school? A private high school? Forget it... Book me the nearest flight ticket, no
If it's first class, then business class is okay... Well, that's it, let the nanny wait for me downstairs at the competition venue, and I'll go to the airport as soon as possible." Mandy Gonzalez hung up the phone and looked up.
She said to the manager who came over, "Maria, please help me withdraw from the competition. There will be no competition in the next competition. I have to go to China."
"China? Why are you going to China? Let's not talk about this first. Have you seen the bombardment against you on social media? They slander you..."
"It's true what they said, I did take a call during the game."
Mandy walked past the agent and came to the window with her hands in the pockets of her oversized white sweatshirt. She poked her head out to see if the nanny car had arrived downstairs.
"What are you doing on the phone during the game?"
"I answered a very interesting phone call. It was so interesting that I didn't want to hang up, so I played chess while on the phone. I won anyway, there is no difference."
"Mandy, do you know? All the media outside are now criticizing you for cheating on the sidelines through that phone call! Now those public opinions are even beginning to question the authenticity of your chess championship victory! There must be someone behind this incident
To add fuel to the flames, those superficial guys just don’t want to believe that a woman will win the Linares Chess Super Competition three times in a row!” The agent looked unusually impatient.
"Then just let them say it. Before you question me, find someone who can play chess against me. They can find anyone they want, including Japanese, Americans, and Chinese. As long as they can
I accepted all the doubts, and retired and announced that I would never touch chess in my life." Mandy saw the nanny car turning out of the parking lot, left from the window, and trotted briskly on her white coconut shoes.
Go downstairs towards the safe passage.
"Mandy, wait!" The agent quickly followed this arrogant, chess genius girl who was said to be a once-in-a-century chess genius.
Indeed, Mandy Gonzalez has the capital to defy all doubting voices. Chess is a very simple activity. There are 32 pieces on a chessboard. The only way to gain respect is to win, keep winning, just like this blond
The girl has done what she did on the chess scene around the world, killing all the old kings with a stern look, using her butt wrapped in jeans to sit hard on the world champion that has been alternately occupied by China, Russia, and the United States.
On the throne.
Her popularity and accumulated honors have reached a level that is well-known to the world. The American Time magazine even conducted an exclusive interview with her. In the selection of the cover picture of the current issue, she rejected the olive branch of the Chanel designer and took the initiative to accept another. The fashion design invitation from the relatively less famous "Schiaparelli" was only because the original founder of the "Schiaparelli" brand said that he was "not born with a major" and was the sworn enemy of all mainstream brands such as Chanel.
This coincides with Mandy Gonzalez's past in chess - a girl from a Spanish divorced family who was born in Noluzi, defeated professional chess players with various academic backgrounds, and defeated those famous teachers and past world champions. All her apprentices were rubbed against the floor, and finally she reached the top of the chess stage, announcing her strength and existence to the whole world!
When Mandy Gonzalez won the Nares Chess Super Competition for the first time, it was a blockbuster. That competition was known as the most valuable chess event. All the famous players who had been off due to illness were in perfect order. He came back to participate in the competition, and Mandy Gonzalez climbed up by stepping on the heads of previous world champions.
When those famous generals of the grandfather generation were killed by this blond-haired girl who even wore a sling sweatshirt bought on the street during the official competition, the entire chess world described the scene in an amazingly consistent way - it felt like it was alive. In a girl's dream.
Mandy Gonzalez turned this dream into a reality. From a little Spanish girl that no one cares about, she suddenly became the focus of the world. Fashion magazines found her, various mainstream media interviewed her, HBO and Netflix She approached her and wanted to buy the license to make a documentary about her. Organizers of various chess tournaments hoped that she would be rewarded to increase the attention of the tournament.
When the agent mentioned public doubts and abuse, Mandy did not have the slightest anxiety or worry, because her strength comes from her self-confidence and pride. She has the capital to be a big name, and she also has the strength to despise those rumors. This is also What fascinates the agent most about this girl is that she herself was so impressed by her story that she became one of the shining lights in her halo.
Since she officially stepped onto the stage, she has never lost once. On the chess stage, she was at the top when she debuted. In public competitions, she has never lost a game to others, and at most it was a draw.
The Undefeated Queen is her nickname, and it is also what fascinates her fans the most about her. She is like a goddess in chess, born to bring victory.
"Maria, I want to go to China!"
In the corridor, Mandy put her hands in her pockets and looked down at the stairs as she walked down the stairs briskly, "Do you want to go with me?"
"Of course... of course!" The agent adjusted his half-rimmed glasses and couldn't laugh or cry, "But in the middle of the game..."
"Just like what I said just now, reject it! Reject them all!" Mandy snorted twice, "I came here just to see if there were any new star masters, but it turned out that it was still a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. The game makes me want to yawn. Who cares about the bonus? The bases of their trophies are even made of copper. If I want to make money by playing chess, why don’t I pick up Princess Leonor from the royal family? Private lessons?”
"That's true." The agent could only smile bitterly.
She is also taking care of this girl's finances. Since she won the chess crown, she has been like a money-making machine running at full speed in terms of chess circles, international influence, and media public opinion. The wealth accumulated in three years is already an astronomical figure. But these monotonous figures are not the most precious wealth this girl has. What is most enviable and respected about her is the circle she has opened up within the Spanish royal family and the European royal family.
Her personality, age, appearance and chess level all combined together to become her ticket to enter the real aristocratic circle, and it is no exaggeration to say that in that circle, Mandy Gonzalez is as good as Those potential successors got along like a duck in water, which may have something to do with her brain, which is the best in the world at chess.
It is said that many princes in the royal family are obsessed with her. The princesses regard her as their best friend, but money is one of the most vulgar things in her possessions. She holds the silver medal in Potosi, Bolivia. The Spanish royal family never cares about how rich their friends are. What they value is always the characteristics of a person. Obviously, Mandy Gonzalez's characteristics are recognized by those nobles and royal families, and she is often invited. Go to the Spanish Royal Palace to have afternoon tea and play chess with the young royals.
Knowing very well that the owner in front of him now indeed has the willful capital and strength, the agent could only turn on his mobile phone to check the ticket information without complaint, and at the same time asked in confusion, "China? Why do you want to go to China?"
Mandy has always been like this. Although she has received many honors and is regarded as the goddess of chess in the eyes of the public and a living national treasure in the eyes of the Spanish people, in the eyes of her agent, she is still the Tiaotong she accidentally discovered in the park. A lively, yet grown-up little girl who loves to play chess.
And little girls will always long for those beautiful but unrealistic things, such as a trip that can just go.
"Go to China to play chess." Mandy Gonzalez answered quite simply, "There is a very powerful opponent there!"
"Didn't you defeat the talented Chinese chess player in the last international championship? He often plays with you online. The recent record of the two of you seems to be 3 wins, 4 losses and zero losses, right? He has never If I beat you, even if I draw, it would be difficult. Apart from him, are there any other Chinese chess players worthy of your attention?"
“Maria, do you think it’s true or false that ‘X’ and ‘Facebook’ said that I was constantly reviewing chess moves when answering the phone during the game?”
"Of course it's fake!"
"Actually, it's true." Mandy said, "It's just that the right move was not the one I played. The Moroccan boy was still a little too young. I probably knew his level after only twelve moves at the beginning. .But at that time I received a strange phone call, a transoceanic phone call from China. On the phone, he didn’t say who he was, but just invited me to a blind chess game.”
"Blind chess? That's why they said you kept talking about chess moves when you called..."
"Don't care what they say, the most important thing is that I lost the blind chess game." When Mandy said this, instead of being frustrated or angry, her eyes were shining brightly.
"You lost?" The agent was stunned, and then his expression changed, "Mandy! Don't talk nonsense about this matter. Who else have you told this matter besides me?"
"Okay, okay, I know what kind of persona you are creating for me in the outside world, but this is not the same thing at all. I have never lost on a normal slow chess board, but on fast chess and blind chess. It’s another track.” Mandy said casually.
"No, not everyone understands chess. What most people see is actually just a gimmick. Now many people are staring at you and want to carve out a piece of flesh from you. They will attack you at all costs for the sake of hot spots and traffic. , if they find out about this..."
"So I'm going to China!"
Mandy went down to the first floor, stood in front of the door, turned to look at the agent on the stairs, covered her head with the sweater hat, and her slightly curly long golden hair fell smoothly behind the brim of the hat. He raised his eyebrows and said, "A transoceanic phone call, an excellent chess player, and a simple invitation. Why should I refuse this wonderful development?"
After saying that, she showed her signature smile, which was irresistible. It seemed that she could forgive all her naughty smiles. She turned around and pushed open the door.
The sunshine outside and the guns and cannons immediately hit her amidst the intensive "buzzing" sounds. She ran towards the end of the red carpet composed of people with familiar steps. The agent stopped the reporter and followed quickly behind her. Got into the nanny car.
After getting in the car, Mandy did not forget to lower the window. The paparazzi raised a slender and beautiful middle finger to the unscrupulous reporters who asked malicious and misleading questions, leaving everyone with a satisfied picture on the top of Tomorrow Magazine. Headline photo.
