Chapter 802: There is no way out, but there is a bright future in another village
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Qi saw several old men gathered around a chessboard, each expressing his or her own opinions.
When I got closer, I saw quite a few familiar faces.
Wei Fu and Ren Changgeng were both present.
Seeing Chen Qi's arrival, the two of them suddenly looked happy.
"Huh?
Little friend Chen Qi, you are here!"
"We were talking about you just now, but we didn't expect that Cao Cao would be here soon."
Chen Qi smiled warmly, "What are you talking about about me?"
Ren Changgeng explained that last time he and Wei Fu played several games against Chen Qi, but they all lost.
So they recreated the chess game at that time and discussed how to solve it.
No, as soon as we talked about Chen Qi, he appeared.
"Little friend Chen Qi, why haven't I seen you these past few days? I also said that I wanted to ask you for advice again, so I can make it easier for me to wait."
I learned from others that Ren Changgeng rarely comes to Feng Ya Xuan.
Because I still had a lot of fun playing chess with Chen Qi last time, I came here frequently these days to wait for Chen Qi to show up.
Chen Qi expressed his understanding of this.
As a national Go player, Ren Changgeng's obsession with Go is naturally unmatched by ordinary people.
He lost to Chen Qi last time, and he definitely wants to get his place back.
"I'm sorry, there are things going on at home recently and I can't get away."
Ren Changgeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that you are free, why not play a game of chess with me?"
Chen Qi smiled and nodded, "I'm happy to accompany you."
Afterwards, Chen Qi and Ren Changgeng randomly found an empty seat, sat down facing each other, and laid out the chessboard.
When the game between the two reached the eighteenth round, Ren Changgeng looked up at Chen Qi and asked with a smile.
"Little friend Chen Qi, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"
"How can I see it?"
"That day your chess style was very changeable and unpredictable, but today your chess style is single and no longer as impressive as before. It makes me feel like you are a little uneasy?"
Chen Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ren Changgeng to be able to feel his mood at this time through his chess style.
However, watching chess is like watching people.
As a national player, it is not impossible for Ren Changgeng to see the state of mind of chess players through the chess style of others.
Ren Changgeng was right. Chen Qi today was indeed a little absent-minded because he was still thinking about the assessment.
"Mr. Ren is really wise. Chen has indeed encountered some difficulties recently."
Ren Changgeng put down the chess piece with a smile on his face, "Is it for the [Chen Royal Family] clan meeting?"
As soon as he said this, Chen Qi was surprised again, "How do you know?"
"Miss Axue told me."
Chen Qi was stunned.
During the last community event, Ren Changgeng accompanied A Xue.
I heard that Ren Changgeng is half of Ah Xue's master in Go, and the two of them play chess together for a long time.
It is not surprising that Ren Changgeng would know Chen Qi's identity and the [Chen Royal Family] assessment.
Ren Changgeng gently stroked his white beard and said, "In this round of assessment, you are required to invite some high-ranking and powerful people to participate in the clan meeting to demonstrate your leadership and appeal."
"Little friend Chen Qi has just arrived in Beijing not long ago. He is not familiar with the place. I am afraid it will be difficult to find high-ranking people."
Chen Qi sighed, "What Mr. Ren said is absolutely true. This kid has been worried about this recently."
Ren Changgeng picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "If little friend Chen Qi doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to sell you a favor."
Chen Qi was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Aren't you looking for someone with high authority?
What do you think, old man?"
Does Ren Changgeng mean that he is willing to help Chen Qi come forward and be invited to attend the clan meeting of the [Chen Royal Family]?
But the rule for this round of assessment is to invite some high-ranking people to the scene.
It's not that Chen Qi looks down on Ren Changgeng. Ren Changgeng can be regarded as a dean-level figure in the Go world.
But this status alone is not enough to be called a "high position".
Chen Qi couldn't tell the truth. After all, this was someone's good intention. If he refused directly, it might make the other party lose face.
Ren Changgeng seemed to see what Chen Qi was thinking, and said with a smile, "Little friend Chen Qi, maybe you still don't know who the old man is, right?"
"Appreciate further details."
Ren Changgeng slightly puffed up his chest and said, "The old man's full name is Ren Changgeng."
Ren Changgeng?
Chen Qi had no reaction, but Suzaku beside him exclaimed.
"Are you Ren Changgeng?"
Chen Qi was confused, "Suzaku, do you know Mr. Ren?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard of it."
Suzaku replied, "Ren Changgeng is the last head of the Ren family, one of the four golden dome families in Shangjing. Tianqi, the current head of the Ren family, is his eldest son."
"The Ren family has grown from a third-rate family that no one cares about. In just a few decades, it has become one of the four golden dome families. This is all due to Mr. Ren's leadership."
"Although Mr. Ren has retreated behind the scenes now, his right to speak in the Ren family and his influence in [Shangjing] can be said to be unshakable!"
Suzaku looked a little excited, "Lord Dragon, if Mr. Ren is willing to be invited to participate in the clan meeting of the [Chen Royal Clan], if nothing else happens, you will definitely win this round of assessment!"
Hearing Zhuque's praise, Ren Changgeng waved his hand modestly, "Miss Zhuque, that's ridiculous. I'm just a bad old man who has retired for a long time. How can he afford so many glamorous coats?"
Chen Qi came to his senses and found out that Ren Changgeng was the old head of the Ren family, one of the four golden dome families in Shangjing. This was indeed beyond his expectation.
If Ren Changgeng comes forward to support him on behalf of the Ren family, plus the Luo family, there are two golden-domed families in Beijing, which is enough for him to come out on top.
Then, Chen Qi slightly bowed his hands and said, "It turns out to be the old master Ren. I was blind to Mount Tai, but I hope to atone for my sins."
Ren Changgeng smiled and said, "I don't blame you, I haven't introduced myself, right?"
"I dare to ask, why does Mr. Ren want to help me?"
According to Chen Qi's opinion, since Ren Changgeng is the old head of the Ren family and has such high moral character and respect, he shouldn't help him for no reason.
Moreover, Chen Qi also learned from Chen Shisan that none of the four golden dome families in Shangjing had a good impression of the Chen Royal Family.
Ren Changgeng actually offered to help him?
But Ren Changgeng replied, "I have reached the age when I should be buried. I have nothing else to pursue but the game of Go."
"Little friend Chen Qi's chess skills are superb, and I admire him very much. Being able to help you can be regarded as making a friend."
"From now on, when I ask you to play chess with little friend Chen Qi, I hope you won't refuse."
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes for a while, then smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Ren. Mr. Ren can help me so much. It's just a few games of chess. I'm sure I'm happy to accompany you."
"Then, shall we continue?"
Chen Qi raised his hand slightly, "Please."
Afterwards, Chen Qi and Ren Changgeng continued to play chess.
In fact, the reason why Ren Changgeng helped Chen Qi was not only to make friends with chess, but also for a deeper purpose.
