Chapter 428 Agree to a Condition
Just as he was thinking of an excuse to get rid of him, Li Beiting suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Song, you played two games of chess today, which must have taken a lot of effort. Since I'm here, if you don't mind, why not let my girlfriend play the last game? She also happened to have studied for a while."
When these words were spoken, the three people present were all stunned.
Elder Song then asked with interest, "Oh? How is Mr. Jiang's chess skill?"
Jiang Yao quickly said, "I haven't played chess in three years."
"Hahaha, you actually want to send a little girl to play against me. You know, I have been playing Go for decades. Don't let it get out and people say that I bully a junior!" Old Yu looked proud.
Jiang Yao was about to say something, but Li Beiting grabbed her hand and spoke first, "How could that be? If my girlfriend loses, I can give you a year's supply of the fine wine that Mr. Song promised you. But if you lose, you have to agree to one condition."
When he heard about the one-year-old wine, Old Yu's eyes lit up. He seemed to be afraid that Li Beiting would change his mind, so he immediately agreed: "Okay! That's what you said."
"Yes." Li Beiting nodded in response.
This time, even Jiang Yao couldn't understand what he was doing.
Could it be that he wanted to help Mr. Song to gain some honor?
But it seems not that simple.
Just when she was confused, Li Beiting suddenly leaned over and whispered something in her ear.
Jiang Yao suddenly understood what was going on and suddenly became motivated.
Both parties quickly sat down at the stone table.
"Little girl, don't say that I am bullying you by relying on my age. You get out first!" Old Yu said confidently.
Jiang Yao smiled back: "Thank you, old sir."
She was the first to pick up the black piece and place it on the star position. The crisp sound was particularly clear in the empty courtyard.
Old Yu casually placed a piece down, his attitude so casual that it was almost disrespectful.
The first ten or so rounds were uneventful, and Old Yu always had the upper hand. He even had the leisure to pick up the tea on the table and sip it slowly, with a relaxed attitude, as if this game was just a pastime.
By the fifteenth move, Jiang Yao suddenly changed his tactics.
The black piece landed with a "pop" sound on the third road to the right of Tianyuan, a seemingly random position.
"Hmm?" Old Yu frowned and paused slightly with his hand holding the teacup.
He stared at the chessboard for a while. There was nothing special about this move. It was neither an attack nor a defense. It seemed like a random move made by a beginner.
It seems that what this little girl said about not playing chess for three years was not false.
This is already starting to get out of control.
Thinking of this, he snorted in disdain, dropped the white piece heavily, and chose the most direct response.
He wanted to use the chess skills accumulated over decades to crush this ignorant little girl.
If you dare to play chess with yourself, you must be prepared for a crushing defeat.
But when the game entered the middle and late stages, Jiang Yao seemed to suddenly begin to show his edge. Those black pieces that seemed to be scattered on the board in no order were inadvertently connected into one piece, gradually surrounding the white pieces.
Mr. Yu's move speed slowed down noticeably, and in the end his fingers were suspended in the air, unable to drop their pieces.
"You..." His eyes trembled, filled with shock. "Girl, have you really not touched chess in three years?"
He felt as if he had been deceived.
Is this level really something a person in his twenties can achieve?
"Yes." Jiang Yao responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Cold sweat was about to break out on Old Yu's forehead. He gritted his teeth and finally dropped the white piece, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
But the next second, Jiang Yao's black spots made a "click" sound, cutting off all his escape routes.
The winner has been decided.
Elder Yu sighed deeply, "It seems I really underestimated you. I never thought you could have such accomplishments at such a young age. I really have to admit I'm inferior to you!"
At this time, Li Beiting smiled and said, "Mr. Yu is too modest. Yaoyao is just more talented than the average person. He once won the Go championship in high school."
His words were invisibly Versailles.
"Haha, I see!" Old Yu was now truly convinced of his defeat. "I accept the loss. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yao and Li Beiting exchanged a look of surprise. Under his encouraging gaze, Jiang Yao took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Yu, I heard that you were an expert in the development of satellite control systems. I would like to invite you to come out and help me develop new technology!"
Old Yu looked surprised. He didn't expect her to make such a request.
"I'm telling you..." He then seemed to have figured something out, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp. "Could it be that you've been deliberately plotting against me from the beginning just to get me to agree to this request?"
Jiang Yao looked apologetic.
But in fact, before coming here, she had no idea of the other party's identity. It was only when Li Beiting told her quietly just now that she knew that he brought her here because he knew the difficulties she was facing now and specially helped her to invite Mr. Yu.
He is also a well-known figure in the industry.
Li Beiting must have put a lot of thought into this.
"Please, Mr. Yu." She stood up and bowed to him sincerely.
"Old Yu, you said you would accept defeat. Now that you've promised them, don't go back on your word, otherwise even I will look down on you!" Old Song was still deliberately provoking him.
Old Yu's eyelids twitched, and suddenly he seemed to understand something. "Old Song, you must have known about this all along, and are joining them in playing me!"
Mr. Song shrugged innocently, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Mr. Yu: “…”
"Mr. Yu, your professionalism is evident to all. When you retired, many people felt sorry for you. If you could come back now and help develop new technologies, you would surely go down in history."
Li Beiting praised him generously, "Also, my promise to send you a year's worth of good wine still stands."
"Okay!" Old Yu immediately changed his tone, "Just for your vision, young man, I will agree to your terms."
Song Lao's mouth twitched, and he exposed it directly: "I think you are here for the good bar, you old drunkard."
But Mr. Yu pretended not to hear.
In the end, he followed Jiang Yao and the others back to the laboratory.
With the advice and help provided by this veteran expert, their research progressed much more smoothly.
Piles of information were placed on the table, and experiments progressed in waves.
However, Mr. Yu also said: "I can only provide you with these key ideas. The specific algorithms and processes for implementation and research and development still depend on you."
After all, he is old and does not have the experience of his youth to delve into research. It is impossible for him to spend all day and night in the laboratory like them.
