"Ah... um... I came with the people from the chess academy." Xie Yi said hesitantly.
Sun Suhe observed the words and expressions, and felt that there was something to be mined. This child was really easy to understand. He tried hard to calm down the eagerness in his heart, and asked in a casual and casual tone: "Haha, what's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?
The secret?"
Xie Yi couldn't help but move forward and said in a low voice: "Sun Suhe...well, um, Sun...Agent Sun, Mr. Sun, can you please not tell my parents about what's going on here?"
"Um?"
Sun Suhe was a little surprised. Is this her unspeakable secret? It seemed different from what I thought. It sounded like the speech of a girl who had run away from home. She did not look like she was attending a winter camp, but she clearly
Sun Suhe was full of doubts, even if he asked for leave from the school and came with the Chinese Chess Academy, but this promise was not difficult to make. He said seriously:
"Please rest assured that keeping secrets is my professional ethics. Although we have not officially signed a contract, I will not disclose the contents of our conversations to anyone without your consent. I absolutely respect your privacy. Also
Yes, just call me Sun Suhe."
"Thank you." Xie Yi suddenly relaxed a lot. She straightened the bangs in front of her forehead and said while recalling: "It's not a secret, it's just...but...there are indeed some strange things."
"What do you mean by the strange thing? Can you tell me in detail?" Sun Suhe was eager to know anything about the Super Honinbo War. He unconsciously pressed his arms on the table and leaned forward greatly.
"Are you interested in this matter?" Xie Yi asked.
Only then did Sun Suhe realize that he was caring and acting too eagerly. He laughed and said, "As long as someone likes Go, no one will be interested in the Super Inbo Battle."
"Oh, um."
Xie Yi just asked casually. What she had been thinking about since just now was another matter, how to compete in the gym and how to prove her chess prowess. She had already thought clearly that Sun Suhe's appearance might be what she expected.
The best opportunity in a long time is today, no matter what, we must seize this opportunity.
"Let's talk about these things later. No matter what, strength is the most important thing. Sun Suhe, don't you want to meet with Director Hirano? Please, please help me arrange a game. I am here today.
The chess instructor is Miyazaki Hideki 6th Dan, and I want to play a game with him."
Almost every day, there are professional chess players staying at the Nippon Chess Academy to play and guide chess. As long as you pay a certain game fee, you can get personal guidance from professional chess players. Sun Suhe just listened to the customer service lady explain a lot of things, of course he knows this.
It's something. Isn't this easy? He didn't think about it and agreed casually: "Of course it's no problem. As long as you pay the game fee, you can play guided chess with him. Let's talk about it first..."
"That's not the case." Xie Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "What I want to play with him is a conditional chess game."
"Conditional chess?" Sun Suhe thought for a moment and suddenly understood. Although the fee for coaching chess is not cheap, it is not that exaggerated. Most people can still afford it. Xie Yi wants to come to the gym and pay directly to challenge.
The simplest and most feasible way would be to guide a professional chess player. Unfortunately, she obviously did not do that. It seems that things are not as simple as she thought.
Xie Yi said: "I have thought about it carefully. If you want to make a surprise, you must choose your opponent very carefully. If the opponent is of average strength, even if you win, it will not mean much. On the contrary, it will weaken the drama of sudden emergence. You have to choose
Just choose an undoubted master. Only in this way can you make a final decision and leave a shocking impression on them like a supernova explosion, so shocking that they no longer have time to think about whether it is in compliance with the rules."
"If possible, it is of course best if the opponent is a title holder. But now the seven major titles in Japan are concentrated in the hands of Inoue Yuta 9th Dan. I am a nobody. It is too difficult to play chess with him, so I don't
Naive enough to have such an expectation.”
"Well, it is true." Sun Suhe nodded. This is like an unknown tennis player who wants to directly challenge Federer one-on-one. This is almost impossible. Given his status, it is impossible for him to do so.
Be reasonable.
Xie Yi said: "So my initial goal is to target those strong players who have reached the finals of the title match in the past few years. Logically speaking, they will also take time to come here to play coaching. This is what I want to do.
The opportunity to play in the gym.”
Xie Yi's analysis was very clear and pragmatic. It can be seen that her idea of playing the gym was not just a hot idea, but had been carefully considered. But judging from her words, things did not seem to go as smoothly as she thought. Sun Suhe was vaguely aware of the situation.
Yue felt as if he had grasped something key, and a vague thought rolled in his mind. He asked: "Does it mean that you haven't waited until the person you want comes here to guide you?"
"Yeah, I've been waiting for them, but I've been waiting...well, it's been almost a month, and I still haven't waited. The people who come here to play guided chess are..."
"Ha." Xie Yi chuckled sheepishly: "I'm not disrespecting them. Those who can become professional chess players are only one in ten thousand. No one is weak. But among professional chess players, there must be
still……"
Xie Yi stretched out his hand and compared it: "There is still a gap. Those who come here recently are either newcomers with mediocre results, or older players who have passed their peak and are not as good as before. Just like Hideki Miyazaki who is here today.
Duan, I checked his resume, and he had good results when he was young, and his strength is definitely not weak, but now he is in his forties, and he has not achieved any commendable rankings in competitions in recent years.
"
"You mean you've been waiting here for almost a month, and no master in his prime has shown up?" Sun Suhe asked hurriedly.
He felt excited. This information was obtained without any effort. Just knowing this made today's trip worthwhile. Xie Yi obviously knew more things, although she did not understand the significance of the information.
"Yeah, it's strange, isn't it? Maybe they are all in retreat to prepare for the Super Honinbo battle. So there is no other way. If you can't fight them, then you can only change your mind."
"Is this the conditional chess you mentioned? What exactly does it mean?"
"Well." Xie Yi hesitated. She bit her lip and looked at Sun Suhe without blinking. There was both pleading and unwavering strength in her eyes: "Anyway, you
Promise me that you will help me facilitate this chess game no matter what, okay? I will prove my chess ability with undoubted results. Let’s talk about other things after playing this chess game. All strange and not strange things will be discussed when the time comes.
Let’s talk slowly and in detail.”
Sun Suhe looked at Xie Yi's burning eyes and sighed in her heart. Seeing this, if she didn't agree to her words, she wouldn't have the heart to talk about other things. She came here with a letter of intent for sponsorship of one hundred thousand dollars to facilitate a project.
The game of chess should not be difficult. Sun Suhe nodded and agreed: "No problem. Since you are so confident, let me see your true chess ability. I will help you arrange this game."
Xie Yi took a deep breath, clapped her hands on the table, and nodded heavily. She was still a little worried. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her little finger and said, "It's settled, no regrets."
Sun Suhe laughed, stretched out his hand to hook her little finger, pressed his thumb together, and signed the most original contract.
