Watching Liang Zitao leave without mercy.
□□ and Chen Jie looked unhappy.
Chen Jie pursed his lips and said, "What should we do? Judging from his attitude, he won't let us go back to the Shengqi Club."
"What else can we do? Liang Zitao is a shareholder of the club, but I heard that Qiu Shui is the largest shareholder of the club now. I know the hotel they are staying in, why don't we go talk to him."
□□ said confidently: "After all, few of the people in Shengqi Club can compare with us. If Qiushui has a good vision, he will definitely agree to let us return to the club. After all, they still need to play in the Weiqi League next year, right?"
"Really?"
But Chen Jie always felt a little unconvinced.
"What else can I do?" □□ glared at him, "Do you still want to go to the club again?"
"Of course not. All the people in that cooperative club are liars."
Chen Jie became extremely angry when he thought about what happened in the cooperative club before.
At the beginning, when the cooperative club was trying to recruit them, it offered them an annual salary of 300,000 yuan and high bonuses.
He also promised that if they won the Weiqi League championship, they would be rewarded with a house.
However, even if we have recruited many talented chess players.
The cooperative club of the Weiqi League failed to win the championship of the Weiqi League.
So, of course, the house is gone.
They also understand this.
The problem is that the promised annual salary of 300,000 yuan and the high bonus are gone.
Even the Heshe Club wanted to ensure that the chess players from the Sakura Country in the club could get a spot to participate in the Chess God Cup.
He actually secretly attacked these Chinese chess players.
They were even deliberately arranged to serve as sparring partners for the chess players from the Sakura Country.
This is simply a deliberate humiliation to them.
But the opposite.
The Shengqi Club has emerged as a rising star this year.
They were joined by Qiu Shui, a very wealthy and very skilled chess player.
I heard that Qiu Shui's family is very rich.
Not only did he invest in the Shengqi Club. Became the club's largest shareholder.
He also bought a villa worth more than 10 billion yuan as a dormitory for the chess players in the club.
They even moved the club's office to the 88th floor of the Brilliant Building.
The 88th floor is all occupied by the club’s offices.
I heard that every chess player in the club has his own office.
It is also decorated according to the style that chess players like.
The most important thing.
Every chess player in the Shengqi Club received gold jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars as a gift from the big boss Qiu Shui.
Their salary also increased to 20,000 yuan per month.
Please note that 20,000 is just the basic salary.
They also receive extra bonuses every month.
The prize money alone is as high as 20,000.
Not to mention, there are competition rewards.
When this news spread, many Go players were envious.
Of course, no one believed it at first.
Later, after checking, I had to believe it.
Of course, what shocked the two even more was that Lou Yuchen, the chess god, actually began to personally instruct the chess players who joined the club.
I heard that he goes back to the club to check in almost every day.
This made □□, Chen Jie and several other chess players who had left the club regretful.
That's why □□ and Chen Jie wanted to return to the Shengqi Club.
They saw that Liang Zitao's approach wasn't working.
I just want to draw the attention to Qiu Shui.
The other side.
In a high-end Italian restaurant.
"What's wrong? Are you still angry? You've already drunk four glasses of water. Even if you want to save money for Lou Yuchen, you don't have to drink enough water to kill yourself, right?"
Qiu Shui looked at Liang Zitao, who had been drinking water continuously since he sat down, and couldn't help but tease him.
Liang Zitao drank the last of the water in the quilt in one gulp and rolled his eyes.
"You think too much. Am I the kind of person who would save money for Achen? Just wait and see, I will bankrupt you two with this meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Zitao immediately called the waiter.
The restaurant chosen by Lou Yuchen does not have independent private rooms.
However, each table is separated by something, and there is some distance between the tables. There are some small bonsai in the middle.
The privacy of guests can be well protected.
Because people from the hotel were also called over.
So, I asked for a big dining table.
"One more serving of foie gras, and five more servings of caviar."
"Oh, and this abalone, I remember you can exchange it, right? Give me the biggest one in your hotel. Remember it must be the biggest one."
"Also, please give everyone one portion of your most expensive matsutake mushroom. That's all for now."
Seeing Liang Zitao ordering a lot of expensive dishes at once, He Ran said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Tao, isn't this a bit too much?"
After Liang Zitao handed the menu back to the waiter, he angrily said, "What's more? I was so angry at those two guys just now that my stomach hurts. I have to make up for it."
"Those two guys just now, are they the two chess players that were poached from our club?"
Qiu Shui knew about the Shengqi Club, and that several chess players had been poached from it before.
However, he did not find out who it was.
Just now, they saw those two people stopping them, seeming to want to say something but hesitant.
Looking at Lou Yuchen's gloomy attitude at that time, Qiu Shui roughly guessed something.
"That's them."
Liang Zitao sneered: "I don't know who gave them the courage to come to me and tell me that they want to return to our club."
"What? They want to come back?" He Ran raised his eyebrows. "Aren't they in Yusuke Ichiro's club? When they left before, they were showing off to us. Now they want to come back?"
"Haha, don't you know what's going on at the cooperative? Yusuke Ichiro gave all three places to the players from Sakura Country. □□ and Chen Jie were able to participate in the competition because they won the second-level championship."
"The club poached them and said they would offer them high salaries. But in the end, the money they offered was not as good as our club's. The house they were promised was not delivered either. After all, they didn't even win the championship."
"Now, you can't make it in the cooperative club anymore, and you want to come back to us. It's just a dream."
Liang Zitao had to admit that he knew the two traitors were not having a good life.
He felt extremely comfortable.
However, those two guys today were so shameless as to say such shameless words.
Then don’t blame Liang Zitao for his sharp tongue.
He Ran actually has a pretty good temper.
After all, he is usually quite reserved and not the type to get angry easily.
However, □□ and Chen Jie were poached by the cooperative at that time, and they mocked and ridiculed Liang Zitao's behavior to his face.
It made He Ran feel ashamed.
At that time, □□ and Chen Jie were dug out by Liang Zitao himself.
When they first entered the club, they were just rookies who had just been promoted to the professional level.
It was Liang Zitao and Lou Yuchen who transformed them from rookies who had just been promoted to professional players. Gradually they were trained to become the main and second players who could lead the team in the next game.
They went down from Wei C to Wei B.
But it took both of them a lot of thought.
Of course, Lou Yuchen only gave some pointers occasionally. But we also have high hopes for them.
Unexpectedly, after the Wei B game ended.
They were so tempted by the high salaries in the cooperative that they switched to the cooperative club without a second thought.
Because at the beginning, Liang Zitao really intended to train them.
Therefore, the signed contract is relatively loose.
The penalty for breach of contract is very small.
Therefore, they can leave without any worries.
People always strive for higher goals, and He Ran can understand this.
However, after the two of them switched to the Heshe Club, they should not turn around and discredit the Shengqi Club.
They actually told others that Lou Yuchen didn't care about the chess players in the club at all.
At the same time, they have been telling people that the salary at Shengqi Club is low and the treatment is not good.
They said that if it weren't for Lou Yuchen, they would never have joined the Shengqi Club.
Because of those rumors, it has been difficult for the Holy Chess Club to recruit chess players.
The club almost couldn't even participate in the League B.
If Qiu Shui hadn’t joined, Lou Yuchen would really have been forced to sell the house.
The club was in such a bad situation before, it can’t be said that it was all caused by □□ and Chen Jie.
But their behavior of adding insult to injury is also the biggest reason.
They were sure that Lou Yuchen would not come out to explain.
So, be unscrupulous.
However, He Ran knew all these things clearly.
Although several other people also left the club, they would not slander the Shengqi Club like □□ and Chen Jie.
The behavior of those two people is ungrateful.
"Brother Tao, you did the right thing. Those two are not suitable for our club." He Ran was also very angry, but he was not as irritable as Liang Zitao. Calmed down quickly.
Fang Jun, who was sitting nearby, saw He Ran was so unhappy, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Since Xiao Ran doesn't like those two people so much, should I send someone to teach them a lesson?"
"What nonsense are you talking about." He Ran glared at him. "Didn't I tell you not to be like this all the time? If you do this again, I will be angry."
Fang Jun quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I won't do it again next time."
Qiu Shui covered her mouth and laughed. Only He Ran could control Fang Jun.
However, this matter is indeed disgusting.
Qiu Shui said to Liang Zitao, "Forget it. There's no need to get angry over meaningless people. They won't be able to enter our club again anyway. If we meet them in the future, we'll just be opponents. There's no need to show mercy."
Liang Zitao said angrily: "Haha, I hope they will meet us in the next game. Qiu Shui, if you meet them, show them how powerful our club is now."
"Okay, I got it." Qiu Shui said, then put her hand on the back of Lou Yuchen's hand, turned around and smiled at him.
Qiu Shui knew that Lou Yuchen was also in a bad mood.
So I wanted to comfort him.
"I'm fine." Lou Yuchen patted his hands and gave Qiu Shui a faint smile in return.
Lou Yuchen was indeed fine.
Although I was also disgusted by those two people.
But in fact, it was only for a moment.
Lou Yuchen didn't take those two people seriously at all.
Soon, Guo Ruoxi and others from the hotel arrived.
As soon as they arrived, the ordered dishes were served.
It must be said that the food at the Italian restaurant chosen by Lou Yuchen tastes really good.
Of course, the price is even better.
But, strangely, when they were about to pay the bill after meal.
But the waiter told them that someone else had paid for their bill.
The waiter told us that it was a very beautiful lady who paid the bill.
"A very beautiful lady?"
Qiu Shui looked at Guo Ruoxi and others in the team, "Is he a friend of any of you?"
Guo Ruoxi and others shook their heads.
This meal is not cheap.
None of the friends they knew could afford the bill.
Then, Qiu Shui looked at Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao again, "Do you have any friends here?"
"Could it be that Xiao Jing paid for it?" Liang Zitao slapped his thigh and said happily, "Yes, Xiao Jing said a few days ago that she had something to do in the United States. Maybe she came here today. She happened to see us having dinner and paid for us."
"Impossible." Bai Yan said, "I asked my sister last night, and she is still busy with company matters in Shanghai. She said she will come to the United States at the end of the month."
"Who is that? Lou Yuchen, could it be someone you know? A very beautiful lady?" Qiu Shui narrowed his eyes and looked at Lou Yuchen, "She paid the bill of 100,000 directly. It seems that she is a white, rich and beautiful lady with whom I have a close relationship."
"I don't know him." Lou Yuchen denied frankly.
"I can testify to this," Liang Zitao raised his hand, "I think that for such a long time, except during competitions, no woman has been able to get within three meters of Ah Chen."
"Who is that? Did you recognize the wrong person or buy the wrong bill?"
Qiu Shui asked doubtfully.
"Could it be someone you know, Qiu Shui?" Liang Zitao said, touching his chin.
After hearing this, Lou Yuchen immediately looked at Qiu Shui with his deep eyes.
"Impossible." Qiu Shui quickly denied, "I don't know anyone here."
Forget it, never mind her.
If he really knew me, he would come to my house.
Or they will take the initiative to contact you.
However, unexpectedly, Qiu Shui was soon slapped in the face.
As they were about to leave the restaurant.
The restaurant's blond and blue-eyed manager, with a beer belly that looked like she was seven or eight months pregnant, hurriedly chased after him.
Then he handed a white card to Qiu Shui.
He said in a somewhat stilted Chinese: "Mr. Qiu, this is the beautiful lady who asked me to pass it to you."
"For me?"
Qiu Shui took the business card with surprise.
I saw a mysterious dark gold pattern printed on the white card.
On the card, there was a string of mobile phone numbers written in black.
Qiu Shui looked at the dark golden pattern and felt that it looked familiar.
It seems I've seen it somewhere.
Liang Zitao leaned over to take a look and smiled jokingly.
"Oh, the truth is out. It turns out that it's your peach blossom, Qiu Shui. Speaking of Qiu Shui, I didn't expect you to be so popular. You're already in a foreign country, and you're still so popular."
Bai Jing liked Qiu Shui at first, but later Lou Yuchen cut off her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, we are now in the United States.
There is actually a fair, rich and beautiful girl who likes Qiu Shui. Liang Zitao looked at Qiu Shui and couldn't help shaking his head.
This guy, in terms of appearance, is not as good as him, and even worse than Lou Yuchen.
His figure is average, but every time women would directly skip him and Lou Yuchen and fall for Qiu Shui.
This made Liang Zitao extremely puzzled.
Is it possible that women nowadays don’t like handsome guys anymore and prefer guys with temperament instead?
Lou Yuchen didn't expect that the woman who paid the bill was actually coming for Qiu Shui.
Just as Liang Zitao said, ever since Qiu Shui appeared beside them, it seemed that many women came for Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui's popularity with women was so good that Lou Yuchen felt a little blocked in his heart.
Qiu Shui himself was also puzzled.
He also didn't expect that the woman was coming for him.
And he was very mysterious, he didn't show his face, he just gave a number.
Not to mention that he already has Lou Yuchen now. Even if he didn't have Lou Yuchen, he wouldn't like this so-called peach blossom.
Qiu Shui handed the card in his hand to the bodyguard beside him and said, "Go check the owner of the number, and transfer the money for the previous bill when you find it."
After seeing Qiu Shui's actions, Lou Yuchen's expression looked much better.
Qiu Shui didn't take this matter seriously.
Soon he left with Qiu Shui and others.
What they didn't know was that after they left, the manager of the Italian restaurant came up to a woman wearing a mink coat and sunglasses.
The woman was holding a snow-white Persian cat in her arms. Her red curly hair fell down on her chest. Charming and graceful.
"Miss, I have already given him the things."
The woman raised her red lips and said, "Very good. How are the things you asked me to arrange going?"
The manager said respectfully, "It has been arranged. You will definitely meet him tomorrow."
The woman nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "How are the Murong and Zheng families doing?"
The manager said, "We've got news from China that the two families have already set off. The plane will land at seven tomorrow morning. Do we need to send someone to contact them?"
"No need." The woman's slender fingers with bright red nails gently stroked the fur of the Persian cat in her arms.
"Don't pay any attention to them for now. Just send someone to keep an eye on them. Keep an eye on their movements at all times."
Hidden behind the sunglasses are a pair of eyes as dazzling as the sea.
At this moment, those beautiful blue eyes were full of calculation.
Originally, if Qiu Shui wasn't there, her target would have been the Murong family and the Zheng family.
Now that we know that the thing may be in Qiu Shui's hands, the primary target is of course Qiu Shui.
Besides, Qiu Shui is also one of the main targets of this auction.
Qiu Shui didn't take the restaurant's affairs to heart.
After returning to the hotel, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
He remembered.
I've seen the pattern on that card before somewhere.
Qiu Shui returned to the room and found the three relics left by Archibald that he had won from the system in a lottery.
Qiu Shui picked up the diary from inside.
Sure enough, I saw a familiar mysterious pattern vaguely visible on the cover of the diary.
I picked up the strange crown necklace again and it was as expected.
The necklace also had the same pattern as on the card.
Even in that painting.
That mysterious pattern should be the unique mark of the Archibald family, right?
If it weren't an important mark, it wouldn't be on everything related to Archibald.
Large Western families like this one all have their own unique imprint.
"The Archibald family? That woman, is she from the Archibald family?"
What a coincidence?
The woman who paid the bill turned out to be from the Archibald family.
Is that really a coincidence, or...
Qiu Shui always felt that things were not that simple.
Just then, the system suddenly popped up.
"Host, your Go teacher wants to see you."
"The old man wants to see me?"
Qiu Shui was a little surprised. He had always wanted to meet the old man, but the system had been stopping him.
He was worried that something might have happened to the old man.
Now that the old man actually offered to meet him, Qiu Shui of course ran happily into the system space.
After entering the familiar place, Qiu Shui sat down directly on the chair opposite the old man.
Then he looked up and said to the old man, "Old man, long time no see. Why haven't you been around for a while? Are you practicing in seclusion?"
However, when Qiu Shui saw clearly the person sitting opposite him, he was stunned.
"Handsome guy, who are you?"
The person sitting opposite Qiu Shui was not the old man at all.
Instead, he was a very handsome young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
The young man was wearing an ivory-white, bamboo-trimmed ancient costume. He looks like a typical ancient handsome man.
Qiu Shui saw the old man wearing that set of clothes.
But now it was worn by a strange man, which made Qiu Shui a little confused.
"You little brat, it's only been a short while since we last met, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
The handsome man opposite glared at Qiu Shui.
"No, do we know each other?"
To be precise, have you seen it?
Qiu Shui was a little confused. He should have never seen this handsome man from ancient times. Why did this handsome man seem to know him?
Unexpectedly, the handsome man glared at him and said, "I am just a little younger. Do you not recognize me now?"
It's quite incongruous for a handsome man to call me "old man" all the time.
It's just the tone of voice and the glaring action. Very similar to the old man.
Looking more closely at the facial features of the handsome man opposite, he is even more similar to the old man.
A guess suddenly arose in Qiu Shui's mind.
Qiu Shui widened his eyes and said in amazement: "You...you are the old man?"
No way?
Is this handsome man in front of me an old man?
Qiu Shui really couldn't connect the handsome man with black hair and fair skin in front of him with the old man with wrinkles on his face and gray hair.
"It's me. Look at how surprised you are." The old man pointed at the chessboard and said, "Don't be in a daze. Hurry up. It's been a long time since we last met. Let me see if your moves have regressed."
Qiu Shui stared blankly at the old man in front of him who seemed to be dozens of years younger, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Are you really the old man? How did you become like this? Did you take some magic medicine? Or did you go to practice Taoism?"
Qiu Shui remembered that the system said that they also had a cultivation system in the cultivation plane.
So, the old man hasn't shown up for such a long time, could it be that he has gone to practice Taoism?
Otherwise, how could he become so young?
The old man glanced at him and said, "Want to know?"
"Yeah." Qiu Shui nodded.
"If you beat me this time, I'll tell you."
"All right. Come on."
Qiu Shui rolled up his sleeves, already eager to fight.
