The person who walked into the study was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. When she saw Ye Chen sitting there, her eyes widened with curiosity. She was timid and a little shy.
Ye Chen also looked at her with some surprise. He had heard that Mr. Ma seemed to have a daughter, but Mr. Ma's daughter seemed to be in her twenties. This little girl was not the right age.
However, she can enter and leave the study freely, so she must have a close relationship with Mr. Ma. Could it be that she is the hidden second daughter, or another relative?
"Brother, are you playing Go?"
Suddenly noticing the expectation in front of Ye Chen, the little girl's eyes were shining and she asked with some joy.
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded.
"I was halfway down with Mr. Ma just now, and he went to deal with things and hasn't come back yet."
The little girl came over, sat on Mr. Ma's seat, and looked at the chessboard.
"Can I go on with you?"
After watching for more than ten seconds, the little girl asked expectantly.
"good."
Ye Chen nodded. He was idle here, so he might as well continue.
This little girl has an unusual relationship with Mr. Ma, so Mr. Ma probably won't mind.
After seeing Ye Chen agree, the little girl was very excited.
After picking up the chess pieces, the little girl seemed to have changed into a different person. She was no longer shy, but was extremely calm.
Snap!
After thinking for more than ten seconds, the little girl made a decision.
Ye Chen continued.
After playing for a few minutes, Ye Chen sighed inwardly. He had to say that this little girl's chess skills seemed to be a little better than Mr. Ma, and she was a Go genius.
It's a pity that she is still not strong enough in front of Ye Chen.
In the end, the little girl was defeated by Ye Chen.
Seeing the little girl's confused look, Ye Chen opened his mouth and gave her some pointers.
Just then, a silver-haired old man in his sixties walked in.
When the silver-haired old man came in, his expression changed slightly after he found Ye Chen giving instructions to the little girl.
Noticing the arrival of the silver-haired old man, the little girl wanted to say hello, but was stopped by the silver-haired old man.
The silver-haired old man motioned to the little girl to continue listening and treat him as if he hadn't come.
The silver-haired old man walked to the side and listened to Ye Chen's explanation while observing the chess game just now.
"Brother, what you said is different from what the teacher said."
When Ye Chen mentioned a key point, the little girl suddenly spoke.
"Young man, you are wrong."
The silver-haired old man said with conviction, it turned out that he was this little girl's Go teacher.
"I was wrong?"
Ye Chen asked back.
"Of course, young man, you still have a lot to learn. This is how it should be here."
The silver-haired old man taught Ye Chen from the perspective of an expert and a senior.
"Why do I feel that you are the one who is wrong?"
After hearing what the silver-haired old man said, Ye Chen shook his head.
"I'm wrong. Huh, I'm a director of the Chinese Go Association. I've been studying this for decades, how could I be wrong?"
The silver-haired old man showed off his qualifications and did not believe what Ye Chen, a junior, said.
"There is no priority in learning. Those who have mastered come first. Age cannot be used to judge knowledge."
Ye Chen retorted.
The silver-haired old man was amused by Ye Chen's words.
"In Go, it is true that the master comes first, but if you want to surpass me, you are still far away."
"Since you are not convinced, I will let you know from the duel that qualifications and strength are closely related."
The silver-haired old man looked serious, ready to teach Ye Chen, this rude junior, a lesson.
Hearing this, the little girl put away the chess pieces first, then stood up, stood aside, and gave up her seat to the silver-haired old man.
The silver-haired old man sat down and played chess with Ye Chen.
At the beginning, the silver-haired old man played chess without revealing anything, and he was indeed a top player in Go.
"Young man, if you want to win against me, you should go back and study for a few more decades."
The silver-haired old man had a smile on his face and kept pointing at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't say anything, but the chess piece suddenly fell to a place that the silver-haired old man never expected.
As Ye Chen's chess piece fell, the entire chessboard underwent earth-shaking changes.
The smile on the silver-haired old man's face solidified instantly.
Snap!
After thinking about it for several minutes, the silver-haired old man made a difficult move.
Snap!
Ye Chen looked at it for a few seconds and then made up his mind.
Now it's the silver-haired old man's turn.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Mr. Ma rushed back after finishing the matter.
Noticing that Ye Chen was playing chess with the silver-haired old man, Mr. Ma also came over curiously.
"I admit defeat"
The silver-haired old man thought for a long time, gave up the chess piece, and admitted defeat.
"Young man, you are right - there is no priority for those who have learned, and those who have mastered come first. I am relying on my seniority and overestimating my qualifications. I apologize to you."
The silver-haired old man stood up and sincerely apologized to Ye Chen.
"You're welcome, sir."
Seeing this, Ye Chen also politely replied that the two of them only had differences in chess knowledge and had no other conflicts.
Next to him, Mr. Ma was extremely shocked when he saw Ye Chen defeating the silver-haired old man.
This silver-haired old man is an expert in Go that he invited. His strength is among the best in the country.
Now, he was defeated by Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye was so young and still a student, but he had already made such terrifying achievements in Go. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Looking at Ye Chen, Mr. Ma sighed inwardly. Ye Chen was not only so great in the business field, but also had terrifying attainments in Go. Even he was a little envious.
Mr. Ye has a bright future and is much better than when he was young.
"Mr. Ma, I take my leave."
The silver-haired old man spoke and prepared to leave.
"Teacher, today's class hasn't started yet?"
Seeing this, the little girl quickly stopped him.
"That's right, Master Wu hasn't started class yet?"
Mr. Ma also spoke.
The silver-haired old man was invited by him to teach his little niece Go. In the past, he used this study room as a classroom.
"My knowledge is limited and I have no shame to continue teaching. Mr. Ma please hire someone else."
The silver-haired old man shook his head.
Today, in front of Mr. Ma, he was defeated by a young man. He no longer has the face to stay.
After that, the silver-haired old man left.
In the study room, I felt a little embarrassed.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ye's chess skills to be amazing."
After the silver-haired old man left, Mr. Ma spoke, his impression of Ye Chen improved a bit, and he became more polite when he spoke.
"fine."
Ye Chen answered modestly.
Afterwards, Mr. Ma introduced the situation to Ye Chen.
This little girl is not Mr. Ma’s daughter, but his little niece. Because the niece has shown amazing Go talent since she was a child, his parents put their daughter next to Mr. Ma for their daughter’s growth.
Mr. Ma also attaches great importance to the education of his little niece, so he invited the silver-haired old man just now to be her Go teacher.
At this time, it was the time when the silver-haired old man was teaching the little girl. This was the classroom, so the two of them came here one after another.
"Mr. Ye, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not?"
After explaining, Mr. Ma suddenly changed the subject.
