[Soul of Chess] What if

Ah Guang stared blankly at the little furry head that was concentrating on eating.

At first, he just thought it was a little strange, after all, Sangu had never been picky eaters or wasted food, so after seeing that there were unfinished meatloaf in his hand, Ah Guang just asked casually out of curiosity.

I just didn't expect Sangu's reaction to be so big...

From the change in his face, Ah Guang guessed that Sangu must have experienced a lot of struggles in his heart, but in the end he sighed softly like a compromise: "Since I have been seen, there is nothing I can do... Come with me."

After finishing speaking, Sangu turned around and walked forward. "Ah, wait for me." Seeing this, A Guang didn't care to think about it, and hurriedly followed.

After passing through the teaching building and around the flower bed, Sangu finally stopped when he came to a low bush.After taking a slow breath, he squatted down.

Seeing Sangu's series of actions, Ah Guang felt even more confused.But before he had time to ask, he heard a slight rustling sound from the bushes, and then, a small snow-white head emerged from the leaves.

cat? !

Ah Guang was taken aback.If he hadn't covered his mouth quickly, he would have exclaimed a long time ago.

It was a snow-white kitten with blue eyes like bright stars in the night sky.

Judging from its small and slender physique, it is estimated to be only a few months old.It seemed to be aware of Ah Guang's existence. It didn't get out of the grass immediately, but carefully observed the strange visitor with those big round eyes.It wasn't until it was confirmed that there was no danger that it deftly walked through the dense branches and leaves to Sangu's feet.

It turns out that the meatloaf was specially reserved by Sangu for it...

Seeing the little white cat eating the food in Sangu's palm unsuspectingly, Ah Guang suddenly realized.

On the other side, Ogata Seiji was having a happy conversation with Shindo Hikaru's father.

In fact, on days when there is no chess game, Ogata prefers to stay at home to study chess records, or go online to appreciate the exquisite chess skills of the God of Go, and when he is lucky, he can even play a game against the opponent.When you are tired, get up and feed those smooth tropical fish. Looking at the flexible and comfortable figure in the water, the negative emotions accumulated in the bottom of your heart will be slightly relieved.

Of course, the life of a professional chess player cannot always be so leisurely.In addition to competitions, sometimes he has to complete some work arranged by the chess academy, such as now.

Today, as one of the representatives of the chess academy, he is going to discuss the development of Go software with an IT company.

You must know that Qiyuan has always been burdened with huge debts. Now the debt has accumulated as high as 15 billion yen. Although many measures have been taken before, it still cannot change the status quo of continuous losses.And the turning out of sai made the board of directors see the hope of turning losses into profits, so they tried every means to use the special existence of sai to make profits for the chess academy.The Weiqi software discussed today is also one of the strategies for increasing the income of Qiyuan.

However, after driving here for more than half an hour early in the morning, and listening to various boring reports for nearly two hours, Ogata only felt that even waiting for the other party's long exam was more interesting than sitting here.

Just when he was thinking about whether to find an excuse to go out to get some air, he heard the staff who was making a report say the words to announce the end: "...Thank you again, thank you very much!"

Phew...it's finally over.Ogata let out a long sigh of relief.The next moment he suddenly thought of something, but the movements in his hands stopped involuntarily.

That voice... Ogata hastily dug out from his pocket the business card he had randomly put away before the meeting started, looked at the name on it, and whispered involuntarily: "Masao Shinto...?"

After walking out of the conference room, Ogata deliberately slowed down his steps a little bit, and saw that staff member also walked out of the conference room out of the corner of his eye, so he walked silently to that person's side.

"Mr. Shindo, hello." Ogata had a standardized smile on his face.

The plan of working overtime to prepare has now passed smoothly. Before Masao Shinto had time to rejoice in his heart, he suddenly heard someone greet him, he raised his head quickly, and then saw a well-dressed man in gold standing in front of him. A stranger with silky eyes and an elite look.

He tried to think back in his mind, this one seemed to be one of the representatives sent by the chess academy, and his surname seemed to be... Ogata?

"Hello, Mr. Ogata." Masao also smiled back and saluted.

"Mr. Shindo's explanation today is really easy to understand. Even a layman like me can roughly understand the operating principle of the program after listening to it."

To this kind of polite words, Zhengfu just responded politely: "Where, you are too polite."

It seems that this is a more cautious and serious person... In order to shorten the distance as soon as possible, Ogata changed the direction of the conversation silently: "This plan sounds very interesting, and it must have taken a lot of effort in the process of formulation." Shouldn't you work harder?"

"Well, I did encounter some difficulties at the beginning, but with the joint efforts of the team, I finally overcame them smoothly."

Talking about this, the other party's sense of alienation seems to have subsided a bit.Knowing that he must have found the right direction, Ogata continued his efforts and said: "The team owned by Mr. Shinto is really excellent for being able to plan such an ingenious plan!"

"Yes, everyone worked very seriously and hard, and thanks to their hard work, this plan was successfully formulated." Thinking of the appearance of those guys forgetting to eat and sleep, Zheng Fu couldn't help but tinged with a gratified smile in his words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Ogata asked tentatively: "By the way, you seem to have mentioned some Go terms in your explanation, so I would like to ask, do you also play Go?"

"Ah, no, that's not true." Unexpectedly, the topic would suddenly jump to this topic, Zhengfu waved his hands in embarrassment, "It's just that my father has been playing chess, so he understands it somewhat."

"Oh? So that's the case. But your explanation sounds very professional, making it impossible for people to imagine that you are someone who doesn't know Go!" Ogata praised without hesitation.

Hearing what the other party said, Masao smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's ashamed to say, but actually my son told me all that knowledge."

"Your son? Can he also play Go?" Ogata asked curiously.

"Yes. I forgot whether it was last year or the year before. Anyway, one day he suddenly became interested in Go for some unknown reason. At first I thought he was just playing for fun, but I didn't expect him to really persevere, and now he has become a college student .” Mentioning his own child, Zheng Fu couldn’t help but feel a bit of pride in his tone.

"It took only one or two years to become a college student... It seems that your child is very talented in learning Go!" Ogata admired sincerely.

Um?and many more.

I remember that there seems to be only one surnamed Shinto among the students in the academy, and his name seems to be Shinto Hikari.Ogata raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him: I remember that this person is also surnamed Shinto... Could it be that there is any relationship between these two people?

Thinking of this, he asked aloud: "May I ask, is your son called Shindo Hikari?"

"Huh? Do you know Xiao Guang?" Masao was surprised.

It turns out that the two are father and son... Now it's easier to talk.Thinking of this, the smile on Ogata's face became more real.

"Well, yes. Because Shinto often plays chess at the chess club run by the teacher, we got to know each other." O said without changing his expression.

"It's no wonder that Xiaoguang often goes out on weekends. It turns out that he went to play chess... Xiaoguang's child is sometimes naughty, and he should have caused you a lot of trouble, right?" Realizing that the person in front of him has a certain status in the Go world After getting to know Xiaoguang and letting go of his defenses, Masao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of Xiaoguang's character.

"How could it be, Shindo is very cute and smart." Ogata said sincerely, "Although I have never played chess with him, the teacher has played chess with him. I am looking forward to his talent. Teacher, not only invite him to participate Various Go conferences, and even specially invited him to participate in his own research meeting, completely regarded him as his disciple."

Hearing what he said, the other party seemed a little surprised at first, then a happy smile gradually appeared on his face, and then he bowed and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of Xiaoguang all the time!"

"Ah, you don't have to be so polite. Seeing such a talented child, anyone can't help but want to help him." After speaking, he added seemingly casually, "But I didn't expect to enter Fuji is your child, no wonder your voice sounds familiar."

"Excuse me, have you heard my voice before?" Zhengfu asked puzzled.

"Well... how should I put it, I'm actually not sure. How about you listen to it?" Ogata said, took out the phone from his pocket, clicked on one of the audio files, and handed the phone to the other party.

Zhengfu picked it up suspiciously. As soon as he put the receiver close to his ear, he heard a soft male voice from inside: "Hi everyone, I am Sai. Thanks to everyone's love, I was able to appear here today..."
