Chapter 130 Stepping Stones
With the help of Han Sanqian, the cremation and burial did not delay the auspicious time and were held on the same day. Unfortunately, the Su family did not thank Han Sanqian for this, but instead hated him particularly.
Especially Su Haichao, he felt that his face was lost because Han Sanqian had lost all his face, so he made another revenge on Han Sanqian.
A few days later, the matter of the Su family calmed down and did not cause much sensation in Yuncheng. After all, the old lady was not a big shot in the Su family.
That morning, before Han Sanqian got up, the phone rang like a fatal blow.
"Why haven't you gotten up yet? Have you forgotten what happened today?" Tian Ling'er said anxiously.
Han Sanqian opened his hazy eyes, looked at the time, and hung up the phone directly.
Mystery, it's less than six o'clock!
Tian Ling'er on the other end of the phone hasn't seen Han Sanqian for several days, so he can't wait. Although it's still early, in her opinion, Han Sanqian has to face a very powerful opponent today, and even Wang Mao has never won. He naturally had to get up early to prepare.
After being hung up, Tian Ling'er was not discouraged and continued to call the second one. It was not until Han Sanqian turned off that the young lady hit the bear doll on the bed to vent.
"If you don't answer my phone, you dare to turn off the phone. I am the eldest lady of the Tian family. How can you treat me like this?"
After sleeping until nine o'clock, Han Sanqian got up slowly and turned on his phone again. What made him speechless was that less than ten seconds after turning on the phone, Tian Ling'er's phone called again. She shouldn't have been dialing all the time!
"I get up, wash up and go out. If you call me again, I will put it on the blacklist." After that, Han Sanqian hung up the phone.
Tian Ling'er was so angry that she scratched her head, but when she thought she was going to be put on the blacklist, she still didn't dare to continue harassing Han Sanqian.
At the same time, a young man walked out of the Peninsula Hotel.
"Master, Wang Mao has lost to you for many times, and you still have to play chess with him. What's the point?" the young man asked in confusion.
The old man smiled faintly and said, "Who said I want to play chess with him? Yuncheng is not even more powerful. Otherwise, with his strength, how could he be the president of the Go Association?"
Wang Mao is quite famous in domestic competitions, but this old man doesn't take it seriously at all because he is Shangguan Heibai and is known as the unparalleled national scholar. In the Go world in China, he has won all kinds of honors and titles. After becoming famous, he changed his name to Heibai. In his words, his life was only Go. He was a true master of the Go world. Han Sanqian also studied his chess score.
As Shangguan Heibai's apprentice, Ouyang Xiujie is also a leader among the younger generation. Many people say that Ouyang Xiujie will definitely be the leader in the Chinese Go world in the future and can inherit Shangguan Heibai's mantle.
"Why do you want to invite him if you don't play chess with him?" Ouyang Xiujie asked in confusion.
"A person of his level is no longer worthy of becoming my opponent, but you still need experience. He is a character no matter how you say it is. If you can win him, it will also be of great benefit to your reputation." Shangguan Heibai said.
Ouyang Xiujie was stunned. He didn't expect that in this chess game, his master actually treated Wang Mao as his stepping stone.
If he can beat Wang Mao, his reputation in the Go world will definitely be even more resounding.
"Thank you, Master." Ouyang Xiujie said respectfully.
"Although I didn't take Wang Mao seriously, he was a little capable, you must be careful." Shangguan Heibai reminded.
"Master, please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down." Ouyang Xiujie said with a serious expression.
"Don't have to have too much psychological pressure, this will affect your performance. Even if you lose, you will not be embarrassed. He is an elder after all. But if you win, you will be impressive. The influence of this stepping stone is quite large." Shangguan Heibai smiled proudly. His plan was almost perfect. Ouyang Xiujie would not have any impact if he loses, but if Wang Mao lost, Ouyang Xiujie successfully stepped on this stepping stone.
"Master, your strategy is unparalleled inside and outside the board. I am really lucky to be your apprentice." Ouyang Xiujie said with a smile.
"Don't flatter, it's serious to give that old guy a little color."
Most of the members of the Go Association are present because they know that when Shangguan Heibai arrives in Yuncheng, they will definitely visit the Go Association in person. They all want to see Shangguan Heibai's real person, and many people regard him as their idol. When the idol comes, they naturally cannot miss it.
However, no one except Wang Mao knew that Shangguan Heibai was here to play chess with him.
Not long after, when Shangguan Heibai appeared, the entire Go Association became restless, with men, women, young and old all of them looking excited.
"Senior Shangguan, I didn't expect that you were really here."
"Senior Shangguan has anything to do when he arrives in Yuncheng this time? If it is useful to me, please speak up."
"Senior Shangguan really makes our Yuncheng Go Association shine. If you give me some tricks, our chess skills will definitely be much more improved."
Shangguan Heibai has long been used to being praised by others. People of his level cannot be greeted by many people wherever they go.
With an official smile on his face, he walked to Wang Mao and said, "Whether you can give me a few tricks depends on how powerful your president is."
Wang Mao's face looked a little ugly. After losing for so many years, he had already had a shadow when facing Shangguan Heibai. The retreat in his heart made him lose without fighting.
"Senior Shangguan wants to compete with the president?"
"It's great. It's our great honor to be able to see Senior Shangguan play chess with his own eyes."
"President, let's start quickly without further ado."
These people have seen Shangguan Heibai playing chess, but it was in a TV game, and most people did not visit the scene in person. This opportunity was valuable to them, so everyone was very excited.
Wang Mao glanced at Tian Changsheng. Didn’t this old guy say that Han Sanqian had agreed? Why didn’t Han Sanqian come yet?
"Shangguan, I'm really showing off my skills in front of you." Wang Mao said with a shame.
"You are too modest. Although I have never lost playing games with you and me, you have also brought me a lot of surprises, which shows that your strength is still quite strong." Shangguan Heibai said with a smile.
Xu Huan, standing behind Wang Mao, looked dissatisfied. Although she knew that Shangguan Heibai was very powerful, she was too arrogant to say such words. He had never lost. Isn’t this just saying in disguise that the master had never won?
"Grandpa Shangguan, you are so powerful, why haven't you won the world championship?" Xu Huan said.
As soon as these words were said, everyone present changed their faces because they all knew that although Shangguan Heibai had a high status, his biggest regret was that he lost in a world-class event. Although he had only once, he had never participated again. This shows that he was very taboo about this matter. Did Xu Huan mention it in public, wasn’t he intentionally sprinkled salt on his wound?
"Hmph, my master just disdains to participate. He has never put his personal reputation first. He just wants to make more contributions to the Go world in China, so he has not wasted time on this matter." Ouyang Xiujie said coldly.
In order to ease the atmosphere, after hearing this, the members clapped and sighed at Shangguan Heibai's righteousness.
Xu Huan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Mao. The other party showed that today the person who came was not good, and the unnecessary disputes might make them even more embarrassed.
"Wang Mao, don't worry, it's not me who went to fight today, but my apprentice." Shangguan Heibai said.
Ouyang Xiujie clasped his fists and said, "I would like to ask Grandpa Wang for advice."
Wang Mao frowned slightly. What did this old guy want to do? How could he let his apprentice fight?
Soon Wang Mao figured out other reasons and couldn't help but feel angry. He was asking him to be a stepping stone!
"Grandpa Wang, you won't be afraid to fight, are you?" Ouyang Xiujie said provocatively.
