Professor Nan laughed twice and stopped talking to him. He said to the bald old man: "Last time, a deputy mayor of xx City came to ask me to write a preface for his new book. He brought a local chess player all the way to accompany me.
I'm still an amateur seventh-dan player in chess, but I didn't expect that they would all learn this move, and my place will soon become an arena from now on."
There was a slight sarcasm in his words, but the bald old man said: "The move he made just now was very subtle. I think this young man also has some abilities."
Professor Nan smiled and said: "Since you value him so much, you two might as well have a chat. I just happened to go and send away the guests outside." The bald old man agreed immediately, without asking Liu Ziguang if he was willing, and directly ordered: "Young man,
You sit down."
Liu Ziguang was also a cheerful person. He sat opposite the old man without saying a word and said: "Please!"
Professor Nan smiled and went straight out to greet the guests. By the time he had dismissed all the guests, an hour had passed and Zhou Wen was the only one left in the living room. Professor Nan asked, "What do you want?"
?”
Zhou Wen hurried up and said: "Professor Nan, I am the secretary of Zhou Zhongda, the acting mayor of Jiangbei City. Mayor Zhou has written a paper that I would like you to comment on. Take a look..." He handed over the beautifully bound booklet.
Go up.
"Put it here." Professor Nan took it and threw it under the coffee table. Zhou Wen looked at it and felt a chill in his heart. There were hundreds of various papers and books piled up under the coffee table. If he threw this paper here, he would be afraid.
It's time to let the bullshit fall into the sea. It's a shame that this kid Liu Ziguang has gone somewhere at the critical moment. Only if I give Professor Nan a red envelope at this time can the fate of this paper be changed.
Seeing that Zhou Wen didn't seem to want to leave, Professor Nan realized and asked, "Did you bring that person inside?"
Zhou Wen was puzzled, and then thought of Liu Ziguang who ran away to nowhere, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, you came with me."
Professor Nan nodded and said, "Then please wait a moment." After saying that, he got up and went back to the house. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Old Fei, how is the battle situation?" After saying this, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. Lao Fei's face was solemn, and his whole body
Just like a wood carving, if you look at the chessboard with more black and less white, it seems that Mr. Fei has been defeated miserably.
Professor Nan was a little embarrassed and smoothed things over by saying, "Mr. Fei has been tired from the journey and is a little low on energy. It's time to rest." Then he said to Liu Ziguang, "Your friend is waiting outside."
Professor Nan knew clearly in his heart that although he and Mr. Fei both had certain attainments in Go, they were just enthusiasts. It was not unexpected to lose in front of such professional athlete-level players. Speaking of which, these local officials were really
Stupid, flattering is not the way to do it. Go is a kind of thing that cultivates one's sentiments. It is meaningless to treat it as a competitive sport.
Liu Ziguang was confident and was about to make a move, but Fei Lao stretched out his hand to stop him and said to Professor Nan: "Lao Nan, look at this chessboard."
Professor Nan took a closer look and saw that there was nothing wrong with the black and white chess pieces juxtaposed on the chessboard. Mr. Fei saw his suspicious look and said, "Look carefully."
Professor Nan stared at the chessboard for a long time, and he actually had the feeling of overlooking the vast land and the vastness of all living beings. The chess game was like a battlefield, and the black and white chess pieces were like two armies fighting in the middle. The sunspots held by the unknown young man subtly formed a picture of a tiger.
Picture of going down the mountain.
There was silence for a while, and Professor Nan was deeply shocked. Go has been an elegant thing since ancient times. Like playing the piano, composing poems, and splashing ink and other activities, they are all things for the upper class to cultivate their sentiments, please their body and mind, and increase their wisdom. In ancient times, Go played a very important role in winning and losing.
He doesn't care much about it, but pays attention to the gorgeousness of the board and the demeanor of the players, which is very different from the current competitive Go. But this unknown chess player combines the elegance of ancient Go and the fierce fighting of modern competitive Go. He is called
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a geek in the chess world.
"Who did you study under?" Mr. Fei asked with bright eyes.
Liu Ziguang said: "I don't have a teacher. I learned this basic knowledge by sitting in on a few classes when the children were taking Go classes."
"Which school offers Go classes?"
"It's not a school, it's a tutor who specializes in teaching Go."
"What's the name of the tutor?" Mr. Fei pressed forward step by step.
Liu Ziguang opened his mouth, but swallowed the name that came out of his mouth, and just said: "I forgot my name, I only remember my surname."
Fei Lao nodded: "That's it. Considering your age, Guo Lao was still alive at that time. Er Guo Lao has been focusing on the research of chess and chess theory since the 1960s and has trained many students. Nie Weiping is one of them
I have never heard of Er Guo Lao teaching uninitiated children, but it is difficult for ordinary people to guess what the master does. I think your way of playing chess is quite Guo's style. This
You can’t go wrong.”
Professor Nan suddenly realized: "Mr. Fei, you say he is the second disciple of the second generation? Young man, let me ask you, did you study with Xuchu or Tisheng?"
Liu Ziguang smiled and thought, I don't know anyone who is too old. I just learned a few moves from Yuanfeng's Go class. The Crown Prince's Go teacher was a Go master who was over 100 years old at that time.
The second generation that Mr. Fei refers to is probably the grandson of a grandson who is over 100 years old.
So he could only pretend to be confused and said: "I was young at that time and don't remember."
Mr. Fei and Professor Nan looked at each other meaningfully, and then asked: "Young man, what rank are you in now? Where do you play chess?"
Liu Ziguang said: "I don't have a rank, I run a security company."
The two old men looked at each other again, and there was only one signal conveyed in their eyes: what a waste of natural resources!
"Young man, what's your name? You're from Jiangbei City. I'll call your leader later and transfer you to a job related to Go. What do you think?" Mr. Fei said with a smile, looking at Liu Ziguang with a look like
Looking at a large-sized dumpling.
"Haha, thank you Mr. Fei for your kindness. I think Go is more suitable as a hobby. If you treat it as work, it will lose its original meaning. The profound meaning of Go can be understood in daily life and work. If you only focus on studying it
, on the contrary, there may not be great success.”
"That makes sense!" Fei Lao applauded and said, "Then how about you stay and compete with me for two more games?"
Liu Ziguang shook his head and said: "No, my friend is still waiting outside. I have finished my work and it's time to go back and have dinner."
Professor Nan quickly interrupted: "Don't be busy, I haven't read that paper seriously yet. You play chess with Mr. Fei first, and I will arrange the meals."
After saying that, he walked out and asked the nanny to quickly cook a few dishes, and then said to Zhou Wen, who was standing at the door with his eyes bulging out in surprise: "Come here, let's talk about the thesis."
Liu Ziguang rashly broke into the inner room, and he was meddling in the two old men playing chess, but Zhou Wen was startled and broke into a cold sweat, which made Professor Nan angry. The thesis matter was ruined. Once the paper was ruined, Mayor Zhou's head was ruined.
It was difficult to get rid of the pronoun, Mayor Zhou could not become a regular official, and his career would suffer setbacks. At this moment, Zhou Wen's mood was going up and down like a roller coaster, and he almost had a heart attack.
Fortunately, Liu Ziguang made the right move and actually won Professor Nan's favor. Even the matter of the paper was saved. He quickly jumped up and took the initiative to help Professor Nan take out the paper from under the coffee table.
Hold it up.
Professor Nan sat on a wicker chair, put on his glasses and looked at the title carefully and said, "Well, this title is not grand enough. I need to change it. I think it would be better to change it to "On the Strategic Significance of National Education in Economic Development."
"Yes, yes, this name is majestic and has a profound meaning. It's really great." Zhou Wen quickly agreed.
Professor Nan got into working mode, holding a pen and writing on the paper, making various symbols, and commenting on the advantages and disadvantages from time to time. Zhou Wen's heart was racing, and he couldn't sit still with excitement. He saw the nanny coming in with the food.
I was even more amazed that Liu Ziguang was really clever and managed to take down Professor Nan's friend. Although the bald old man didn't know his identity, he was by no means an ordinary person.
After being busy until the evening, Mr. Fei returned home and finally left a phone number for Liu Ziguang and said: "Xiao Liu, if you come to the capital in the future, you must play chess with me."
The car that came to pick up Mr. Fei was an Audi A6 with a license plate issued by the provincial party committee. Mr. Fei got in the car and left. Professor Nan also let out a long breath and said, "Okay, you can take the paper back and revise it first. It's about the layout.
I will consider it."
Why did Professor Nan's attitude become much cooler as soon as Mr. Fei left? Just when Zhou Wen was about to speak, Liu Ziguang took action, took out a thin envelope and said, "This is just a small thing."
Professor Nan took a quick look and estimated that the gold content in the envelope would not exceed two thousand yuan, so he flatly refused and said, "Take it back."
Liu Ziguang said: "It's not much money, just 10,000 euros. Professor Nan must not refuse."
"Well, then I'd rather be respectful than obey. I'll put the paper here for now. I'll find two doctoral students to help polish it later. I'll publish it directly after revising it. I will notify you mayor when the time comes." Professor Nan is very personable.
He took the envelope and threw it on the coffee table, his attitude quietly changed again.
Zhou Wen thanked Liu Ziguang profusely and took him away. When he returned to the car, the growling sound in his stomach was already obvious.
"Oh, this job was really thrilling. Fortunately, with you as a lucky general, the danger was finally averted. By the way, where did you learn Go?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Didn't we have a Go interest group in junior high school? The foundation was laid at that time," Liu Ziguang said.
Zhou Wen shook his head in disbelief and said: "Forget it, don't worry about that, I'm going to starve to death, I'll treat you to a meal."
Afraid of worrying Mayor Zhou, Zhou Wen first called back to report the good news, and at the same time vaguely pointed out that Liu Ziguang had contributed a lot of human and financial resources to this matter. Mayor Zhou knew it well and knew that Liu Ziguang was behind the Zhicheng Group. This fact was recorded
