Lin Bei stared at the chessboard curiously.
The black and white lines on the chessboard gradually decreased, forming a few of the brightest lines.
This was the best route?
One step, two steps, three steps…fifteen steps.
He had rehearsed the entire chessboard's path in his mind 15 steps in advance!
At this moment, the middle-aged man with white ears and sideburns picked up the black piece and placed it at an intersection on the side. Lin Bei could not help but frown.
This step was wrong.
The middle-aged man in the tunic suit happened to see Lin Bei's expression from the corner of his eye. He smiled and said to the middle-aged man with white ears and temples,"Old Xu, don't give in to me just because it's my birthday today.”
"Of course not." Old Xu shook his head.
The two of them fought, and the middle-aged man in the tunic suit won with a huge advantage. Then, he turned to look at his daughter and said kindly,"Look, it's rare for my girl to come today. Usually, she doesn't think that there's anything to talk about with us old people, right?”
"Dad!" Yang Manni did not give in. She dragged out her voice and said coquettishly,"Look at how bad you make your daughter sound.”
"Haha." The middle-aged man in the tunic suit, Father Yang, asked dotingly,"How's work at your Uncle Zhao's place?”
"Not bad." Yang Manni nodded.
Coincidentally, Director Zhao of Lin Bei Company was standing beside her. He also responded," Manni's performance in the company is quite outstanding.”
"Is that so?" Father Yang then looked curiously at Lin Bei beside his daughter and said to her,"Qiqi, aren't you going to introduce this person?”
Yang Manni looked at Lin Bei shyly and replied,""He's your daughter's new friend, Limbe.”
"Are you sure you didn't say a word 'man'?" Father Yang looked at his daughter's bashful appearance. How could an old man like him not see his daughter's mentality? He said with a smile.
" Dad…" Yang Manni's face turned red." Don't joke about your daughter. We're really friends."”
"I know, I know, I understand." Father Yang smiled and then looked at Lin Bei. His first impression was very good. The temperament of this young man was very likable. He asked,"Little Lin, right? Qiqi is a little naughty and delicate. She didn't cause you any trouble, did she?”
His tone was like a spring breeze, and he had a very high self-restraint.
"Of course not." Lin Bei replied, thinking that Yang Manni's parents looked good. No wonder Yang Manni was born with a carefree look.
Father Yang smiled after hearing that." It's fine as long as you don't feel any trouble. Girls just like to stick to people."”
After saying that, he waved at Lin Bei." Come, come, Little Lin knows how to play Go, right? Come and play with me. Old Xu didn't play seriously with me just now, so I don't want to play with him anymore.”
"I don't really know how to play Go." Lin Bei said.
Father Yang smiled." I saw the expression on your face when you looked at Old Xu playing chess just now. I know you know how to play. Play a game with me to see how good you are."”
It turned out that he had noticed the expression on her face just now. As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier.
"I'm not very good at Go," Lin Bei said truthfully.”
He was indeed telling the truth. Before he obtained Go Skill 1, he didn't even know how to play Go. How could he know how to play Go?
"It's nothing. I'm just having some fun.”
At this point, it would be meaningless for Lin Bei to refuse. Moreover, it was Father Yang's birthday today, so it was not good to refuse. He could only reply,"Then let's have some fun?"
"Sure. Little Lin, do you play black or white?”Father Yang asked after Lin Bei sat down.
"Anything is fine. Uncle, you can choose." Lin Bei replied.
"Alright, then Uncle will take advantage of you. I'll hold the black piece.”Father Yang said with a smile.
Yang Manni shouted," Dad, don't bully Lin Bei."”
" Haha..." Father Yang smiled and pointed at Yang Manni, shaking his head."You little girl, are you still afraid that Dad will bully Xiao Lin?”
As he spoke, he placed a black piece.
Lin Bei followed suit.
Just like Yang Manni, Old Xu and Director Zhao, who had white hair on their ears, felt that Lin Bei was not as good as Father Yang. They stood at the side and watched absent-mindedly.
At the same time.
As the black and white pieces began to fall, Lin Bei kept rehearsing the best route within the best ten moves in his mind. He knew that people at Father Yang's level would definitely be busy with business and would not have much time to focus on Go. His level would not be very high either.
However, he didn't let him win on purpose. Of course, he couldn't let him lose too badly. He put in a lot of effort and fought fiercely. In the end, he won with the advantage of two eyes. As expected, Father Yang was surprised, happy, and stunned…
"I've been playing chess for so many years, and I haven't stopped for decades. I didn't expect Little Lin to beat me. Qiqi, you've found a good friend!”
The surrounding people were also dumbfounded.
Yang Manni was even more confused.
He did not expect Lin Bei, who was not very good and did not have a high standard, to actually win against Father Yang.
Feeling the gazes around him, Lin Bei did not say anything else and gave him a way out." Uncle's skill is also amazing. I was sweating all over when I played this game with you. When the game ended, I thought I was going to lose and almost gave up. Uncle, are you going to slow down here?”
Lin Bei pointed at the lower right corner of the chessboard." Uncle, did you let me win on purpose?”
"I didn't let you win on purpose. I can still afford to lose this game of chess. You don't have to give me a way out.”When Father Yang heard Lin Bei's words, the more he looked at Lin Bei, the more he liked him.
Chess skills were a test of character.
Lin Bei's words made him feel even more comfortable. He smiled and said,"Xiao Lin, if you have time, come to our house with our Qiqi.”
When the others heard this, they all understood that Father Yang was admiring Lin Bei.
This young man was probably going to be rich.
No matter what he did, as long as someone at Father Yang's level took the lead, it would be difficult for him to not succeed.
Old Xu and Director Zhao looked at Lin Bei in surprise, especially Old Xu. Although his Go skills were average, he had good eyesight. At first, he was absent-minded, but then Lin Bei's performance made him pay attention. He could tell that it was much more difficult for Lin Bei to win against Father Yang by two points than by twenty points. Moreover, his words were so likable.
This young man was a talent.
……
Feeling the envious gazes of the men and the admiring gazes of the women, Lin Bei could not help but stand up and say to Father Yang,"Uncle, I'm going to the washroom.”
Then, he handed the fat orange to Yang Manni.""Take care of Manni first. I'll be right back.”
"Yes, hurry up." Yang Manni said affectionately.
"Alright." Lin Bei replied and walked out of the hall to the bathroom. Only when he walked out of the hall did he feel relaxed.
Becoming the center of attention was not an easy thing to do.
He sighed and entered the bathroom.
At the same time, the lights in the corridor behind him started to flicker.
