Chapter 19: Mr. Shen and Mr. Tang
Shortly after Lu Shinian left.
A tall man walked in with his assistant.
The man nodded slightly to the old man.
Shen Yuan: "Grandpa."
Grandpa Shen: "A Yuan, you are here, come here quickly, I specially left a big bowl of bean juice for you."
Hearing this, even someone as calm as him couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
Judging from his grandfather's expression, it was obvious that he did it on purpose.
Although he was a native of Beijing, he just couldn't get used to drinking this, but the old man at home insisted that he drink it.
He had no choice but to pick up the bowl and purse his lips slightly.
Grandpa Shen gave him a look of disdain.
"Go and pay the bill."
"good."
Shen Yuan looked at the assistant behind him and responded calmly.
And Grandpa Shen walked out first.
On the other side of the road, Shinian looked at the interconnected alleys and didn't know where to go.
He randomly chose a direction and walked and stopped.
If you see something that interests you, stop and stay for a while.
After walking for more than half an hour, Lu Shinian arrived at a park to rest.
Not long after I sat down, I heard a noise coming from not far away.
Lu Shinian looked in the direction of the sound and saw two gray-haired old men arguing about something. He sat quietly by the side without saying a word. They argued for about half an hour.
"You ate one of my extra seeds!"
"I didn't! It was you who regretted your move!"
"You ate one of my extra seeds!"
"You regret it!"
"One!"
"chess!"
Lu Shinian couldn't help but find it funny to see the two gray-haired old men blushing because they regretted a move made by taking one more of their pieces.
"Puff"
I laughed out loud accidentally.
The two old men who were arguing just a second ago looked in his direction at the same time. For a moment, Lu Shinian felt an invisible pressure. The two men opposite him didn’t seem to be old men in their sixties, but generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Their eyes were extremely oppressive.
In his previous life, Lu had seen many big men from all walks of life. Although the eyes of the two old men in front of him made people want to leave, they were not enough to scare him.
He gave a bright smile to the two people opposite him.
"Young man, I see you are having a lot of fun watching over there, come over here and let's play a couple of games."
Lu Shinian was helpless, so he just smiled a little unnecessarily.
When he slowly walked closer and took a look, he realized that this was the old man who liked to watch people make fools of themselves in the breakfast shop in the morning. No wonder he said he looked so familiar.
"Hey, boy, we are destined to meet each other."
As he said this he burst into laughter.
"Old Shen, have you met this kid?"
The old man named Old Man Shen just smiled and said nothing.
"I met him by chance and teased him. He's a very interesting young man."
"Hello, two old gentlemen. My name is Lu Shinian."
"My last name is Shen, his last name is Tang, and everyone else calls us Old Tang and Old Shen, so you can just call us Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Shen."
“Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Shen.”
"Can you play chess?"
“A little bit.”
"Come here, let's have two plates."
"Then I'd rather obey you than be disrespectful."
"Go away, go away. You are so young and you speak so elegantly. Do you really think you are the same age as us?"
Old Shen glanced at Lu Shinian with disdain.
"Ignore this rude fellow."
Mr. Tang turned to Mr. Shen and said, "Do you think everyone is as rough as you? I don't know why Zhilan chose you."
"You know shit. What's wrong with me? Choosing me shows that she has a keen eye for talent. We complement each other. Can poetry and painting be used to make a living? No!"
"Okay, okay, who can argue with you in terms of reason?"
It seemed that they were about to quarrel again.
“Grandpa Shen, it’s your turn. The junior is not good at chess, so I’ll go first.”
As he spoke, Lu Shinian placed the first black chess piece directly at Tianyuan.
Old Tang frowned when he saw Lu Shinian's first position.
"You kid, just wait and see if I don't kill you without leaving a single piece of armor."
They didn't feel embarrassed that they were seen quarreling by a junior twice. After all, they were used to it. It would be strange if they didn't quarrel one day.
After six or seven rounds.
"Why don't you walk here? Isn't this going to make you die faster?"
"Stop arguing, you've interrupted my train of thought."
"Alas, I told you not to go here."
I don't know how many rounds went by.
A group of old men gradually gathered around to join in the fun. They didn't say anything, but from time to time they would quietly exclaim that the game was great.
Lu Shinian lost a piece, and the onlookers felt sorry for him. Only Mr. Tang next to him knew that he had been letting the game go from the very beginning.
He knew very well what Old Man Shen was capable of. Zhilan had been teaching him for most of his life. Unless he was teasing him or letting him have fun, who would be willing to play with a bad chess player who regretted his moves every day?
Thinking of the experience of playing chess with him before, Mr. Tang’s face gradually darkened.
"Young friend Shinian, shall we play a game?"
Mr. Tang invites Lu Shinian
“It’s my honor.”
Lu Shinian readily agreed
"Please come in, Mr. Tang."
"Then I won't be polite with you. Your level is far more than this, right? You have to be serious. I am different from that half-baked Lao Shen."
"I hope Mr. Tang can show mercy."
"It's too early to tell."
"Alright, alright, let's get started."
Mr. Shen interrupted them both impatiently.
Being dithering is not like a man at all.
"Then I'll go first."
"please."
The two of them seemed to not need to think, and several rounds passed in the blink of an eye, with each going back and forth.
At the beginning, there were old men watching the fun with their hands behind their backs discussing what Lu Shinian should do next, or whether it would end after a few rounds.
Because Mr. Tang is well-known in the area for his superb chess skills, and there are few people who can make him take the game seriously. In addition, Lu Shinian is very young, so everyone thinks that Mr. Tang is bullying them.
But slowly, fewer and fewer people spoke up, probably because before they could figure out why the previous piece appeared in this position, Lu Shinian and Mr. Tang had already finished moving the third and fourth pieces.
The two of them played back and forth, and it was obvious that both of them were much more serious than when they played against Mr. Shen. It seemed that they both showed their true skills.
I don’t know how many rounds passed.
The speed of moving the pieces slowed down.
a long time.
Lu Shinian and Mr. Tang all put down their chess pieces.
Lu Shinian spoke first.
"Grandpa Tang is a master of chess. I am ashamed of myself. Thank you for showing mercy."
He said to Mr. Tang with a sincere smile.
There is no point in continuing this game of chess, as no one can do anything to anyone else.
"Hahahaha, you ah you."
Mr. Tang felt relaxed both physically and mentally. He hadn’t felt so refreshed in a long time.
--This guy is amazing.
He looked at Lu Shinian. Old Man Shen probably didn't even know when he had offended him. The little guy was quite vindictive.
Playing chess can reflect a person's logical thinking and overall perspective to a large extent. When he looks at the road on the board, he is sometimes decisive and sometimes advances and retreats with moderation. It is impossible to guess where the next piece will appear.
--This boy is extraordinary.
Mr. Tang sighed again.
Both of them played this game very happily and were very satisfied.
It had been a long time since Lu Shinian met someone who didn't need him to give in.
He was slightly stunned looking at the chess game.
When did he start to like the feeling of strategizing on the chessboard?
I only remember that I contacted a senior executive of Zhiyuan Technology's rival in order to bring down Xu Zhiyuan. At that time, I only heard that there was a personal grudge between them, so I went to him rashly.
Start by privately asking about the places this person likes to go and the places he frequents, and then slowly pretend to meet him by chance and talk to him.
However, every time this person looked cold and didn't want to talk any more.
Lu Shinian simply thought that it was because he had a bad reputation in Jiang City’s circle, so he didn’t want to bother with him.
After trying several times, I still couldn't get in touch with her.
There was no other choice but to secretly contact other enemies of Xu Zhiyuan.
After finding several people who had a grudge against Xu Zhiyuan, they were willing to listen to Lu Shinian at first, but when they heard his purpose, they all waved their hands and said they didn't know, and then they avoided him.
There was no way around it. Pei Song was the person Lu Shinian could contact who had the biggest grudge against Xu Zhiyuan.
The outside world calls him Mr. Pei, not only because he has means and courage, but also because his surname is Pei, he is a member of the Pei family, and he has the support of the Pei Group.
Lu Shinian didn't want to give up.
