"But you have to know who the other person is, what if it's a liar?" The agent sitting in the back of the nanny car was still very worried. Just one phone call could deceive their Spanish living national treasure into going abroad, and then the other party would try again. She couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be if she tried any trick!
"Listen to the voice on the phone, the caller may be a handsome Chinese guy about the same age as me!" Mandy lay in the back row and stretched hard, with the waistcoat line of her lower abdomen partially exposed from under her sweater.
She straightened her body, tilted her head and gestured to the agent next to her to make a phone call, and playfully said to her mother-in-law, "My dear Maria, you can stop me from playing chess, but you can't stop me from talking. Let’s have a love affair!”
"When it comes to falling in love...is there really a boy you can fall in love with? In fact, I want to stop both of these things, but to be honest, you have made up your mind now, right? Mandy Gonzalez is determined Who else can stop this?" The agent helplessly spread his hands.
"so?"
"The plane will leave in two hours, so let's go. My Excellency, the 'Invincible Goddess', as you wish, go to China."
"Okay!" Mandy hugged her agent like a boneless cat and nuzzled her.
"But you have to promise me something." The agent tried hard to get rid of this annoying little goblin, "If the opponent's purpose is to play a game, then you have to win, and win beautifully. I have a hunch that this will It may be a deliberate ambush by the Chinese chess community. They were very dissatisfied with the fact that you defeated their seed player in the last super competition, so if you lose, they will definitely publicize it! We will be greatly affected by public opinion. The impact!”
"Who do you think I am?" Mandy put her hands on the back of her head and turned her head to look at her agent. A touch of gold flashed across her eyes, and she chuckled with that familiar pride and confidence.
"No matter who the opponent is or what their purpose is...I will win! I am Mandy Gonzalez! The uncrowned queen of chess!"
—
"Checkmate."
"You lost." Lin Nian moved the promoted queen and looked up at the dull blonde girl across the coffee table and the equally dull big wave manager behind her.
"Gah?" Mandy Gonzalez held the cup of cappuccino with only a little bit of coffee bottom left in her hand, tilted her head in confusion and made a sound like a duck being squeezed by its neck.
China, coastal city, second floor of cafe.
"you lose."
Lin Nian crossed his hands on the table and looked down at the chess board. "My pawns have been in the lead since the middle game. Once you are restrained...that is, after my subsequent layout is successful, you You no longer have time to take care of the two pawns in the hinterland. After the exchange is completed, it is too late for you to return to defense. After being promoted to queen, it will be a devastating blow to the entire chess game. It is basically impossible for you to win again. Unless you force a draw from the middle of the game... But it’s obvious that you don’t want to draw with me, you want to beat me, so you lose.”
"...?"
Mandy Gonzalez's eyes were still full of doubts, but she was just doubtful. The agent behind her was already panicking. He kept turning his head and looking around frantically, as if he was worried that this mediocrely decorated coffee shop would not be safe. A group of Chinese reporters will suddenly appear, frantically reporting on the unexpected defeat of the Spanish chess queen, the rupture of the undefeated golden body, and the castling of the throne of the king!
"What do you still don't understand? We can review the game and tell you where you lost." Lin Nian put the chess pieces back to their original positions, and the chess pieces that had been killed in the past twenty minutes were as if they were on a real battlefield. A restoration, those fierce murderous intentions, mutual game plots and plots have been dismantled, the solemn and dull atmosphere in the air has also dissipated, and the reappearance can make people's attention return to the aroma of coffee beans in the cafe. .
There is no doubt that the quality of the chess game just now was top-notch, enough to be featured on a TV show, allowing chess fans around the world to refer to, learn, review and even record the game. In this game, Mandy... Gonzalez almost exhausted himself, pouring into it the experience he had learned in the past twenty years and the essence of the thousands of chess records he had memorized... In the end, he was still defeated by the Chinese boy opposite him.
"No, it's not that I don't understand the chess game." Mandy Gonzalez said. She stared at the young, handsome, Chinese boy in front of her who looked like her Windows system inexplicably and asked, "I don't understand you. "
"What do you mean you don't understand me?" Lin Nian stopped reviewing the game and looked up at Mandy Gonzalez, the specious and world-famous Spanish chess queen.
"You beat me. This is a fact. I won't quibble... And this is the first time I have lost to a peer in chess. In the middle game, when you castled the king's rook inexplicably, I still didn't understand you. Intention, after twelve steps, when your foreshadowing of the castling of the king's car was exposed, I gradually realized your layout..." Mandy paused a few more times as she spoke, and looked at Lin Nian with great pleasure, " Have you studied me?"
Lin Nian and his manager both paused. The latter was panicked, while the former smiled in relief.
Mandy said quite confidently, "Those layouts are aimed at me, right? When I play chess with you, I always have the feeling that you have figured out my chess moves and know exactly what traps I will fall into, and what traps I will subconsciously ignore." ...I feel that you are really good at chess, but not that good... What you are good at is not playing chess, but playing chess with me. You know me very well! But... have we met? Or should I say You memorized all the chess games I played and only studied me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue!
She talked a lot, pausing and thinking as she spoke, looking at Lin Nian in front of her with an increasingly strange expression.
"We have never met," Lin Nian said, "but I do know you."
"Forget it... No matter what, if you win, you win." Mandy Gonzalez patted her forehead and suddenly breathed out with relief,
"Awesome! Lin Nian, this is the name you introduced yourself just now, right? You can go out now and announce that you have defeated Mandy Gonzalez. If you want, I will also post it on 'X' The official recommendation proves the authenticity of this matter!”
"Mandy!" The agent subconsciously spoke, but Mandy Gonzalez immediately raised her hand to signal her not to speak, and looked back at her with eyes that were calm and stubborn.
"My goal is not to beat you, I just want to take the opportunity to play a game of chess with you and sit here and chat with you." Lin Nian said.
"Are you a fan of mine? There are really people like you who kill idols first in order to chase stars!" Mandy stared at Lin Nian as if she were an alien and sighed, "You are good enough. Have you participated in international competitions? Why are you still hiding in a small place like this and biding your time? I will give you an official certification that your chess skills are enough to defeat many famous players. You will be the next Mandy Gonzalez, and you deserve it."
Very angry. Many people thought that if Mandy Gonzalez really lost the chess game, she would collapse, become angry, and cry like a child or a resentful woman. But what they didn’t expect was that when this actually happened , her reaction was to enthusiastically send the person who defeated her to the chess world.
Just like a child who is tired of playing with all the toys and suddenly discovers a new and fresh thing, he can't wait to announce his existence to the world.
"Be the next... Mandy Gonzalez?" Lin Nian chewed on the other party's words, lowered his head and suddenly smiled, "Master... Mandy, have you been playing chess all these years?"
"Yeah, what would I do if I didn't play chess? Work as a pickpocket on the street?" Mandy casually picked up the biscuits on the plate next to the chess board and chewed them into pieces and said vaguely.
The agent patted her forehead and became even more anxious, because she knew that Mandy had really been a pickpocket before, which was a dark history that she had covered up. At that time, Mandy was still young. In addition to playing chess with the old men in the park every day, she just They secretly stole tourists' wallets and sold them, and the money from the sales was used to buy chess records and play chess, except for food expenses.
"Have you ever stopped thinking about chess?"
"Maybe, maybe I haven't thought about it sometimes? But at this moment, I am really thinking about things related to playing chess, such as where did you learn chess from, why is the chess game similar to mine, or even better than mine? I can remember more than 10,000 historical games without missing a beat, but I think you can probably remember more than me. You...should be the kind of true genius among geniuses."
Mandy stared at Lin Nian across the chess game on the table with great interest. Sparks almost burst into her eyes when she looked at the boy, "Lin Nian, seriously, are you interested in coming to Spain to play chess with me? I I’ll give you a salary, or I’ll take you on the road to becoming a professional chess player! You were born to do this!”
"No, senior sister, you are born to do this." Lin Nian looked into her eyes and said.
He looked up at the agent behind Mandy Gonzalez who kept walking around mumbling what to do and said, "Can you let me and Ms. Gonzalez alone for a while? I have some things I want to talk to her alone. Let’s talk.”
