Chapter 237 Saying it out will scare you
The main venue of the chess entertainment party.
At first glance, the main venue gives people a feeling of being a chess competition, and it is a very technological chess competition site. There are many things like bank query machines in the main venue, but the screen is displayed on the Go board, and there are many famous life-and-death questions on the board. You can get various printed prizes by solving these life-and-death questions. With these prizes, you can redeem small prizes provided by the event organizers.
In addition, these chess competitions will also be used in small competitions after the party begins, and will be used to select contestants for promotion.
There were buffet tables around the venue. The buffet only started in the evening. There was no formal meal yet. There were only various snacks and drinks, but no one moved them.
The people who attended the party greeted and chatted with each other. Some were old members who had attended several sessions, and some were new members who attended the party for the first time, like Wang Qian. Those old members helped introduce new members to each other like owners, and at the same time introduced the process of the party and the rules of some mini-games.
Of course, the main purpose is to take this opportunity to meet more people and expand their personal connections.
There is an old man with a gray beard that is obviously one of the focus of the night. After seeing him, Wang Qian had a vague impression that this person seemed to be a master in the Go world. His surname was Song and his name was Song Wei. He was over 80 years old, right?
"Master Song, I'm still so in good spirits! I look younger than last year!"
“Where is there?”
"It's true! I see your situation, and you can play in the field for a few more sets!"
"Don't move!"
A large part of Master Song is a retired master or national rookie in the Go world. Master Song is highly respected, and these people in the Go world must of course express enough respect to him out of politeness. If you can be praised by Master Song in this circle, you will be very proud of your face.
"My dad is there! He called me over." Nie Yan said to Wang Qian.
"You go over and do your business, let's talk later." Wang Qian looked at the new and old chess players over there, feeling that he had no topics to talk about with them, so he didn't follow him.
"Okay, Teacher Wang will see you back!" Nie Yan and Wang Qian were just a match. Seeing that Wang Qian had no intention of introducing those chess people, they greeted Wang Qian and walked to her father's place.
Liu Xiaoxi and Yao Chengzhou have not come here yet, but Tang Jing has also arrived at the scene. Because Wang Qian did not call her, she did not notice that Wang Qian came here. "The Mysterious Singing King" made Tang Jing popular again. At this time, there were many guests around her, chatting with her very lively. It seemed that she could be regarded as one of the focus of today's party.
Today, like many female guests, Tang Jing wore a red cheongsam that showed off her figure and put on some light makeup, which made her already beautiful face and figure look more outstanding among female guests. Many male guests unconsciously cast their eyes on her.
Except for Tang Jing and Nie Yan, whom Wang Qian had just met, he did not know any of the others at the scene. Even if Wang Qian knew those Go masters and celebrities, they did not know Wang Qian. Wang Qian did not take the initiative to go and chat with someone, so no one would come to chat with him on his own initiative.
Seeing that the drinks and desserts on the table were pretty good, Wang Qian found a place to sit down, ate the snacks and drank the drinks, and then casually looked around the venue.
"Who is the one who eats?"
“Don’t know.”
"I don't say a word and just sit there to eat and drink. Isn't it the idle staff who are hiding in?"
"I think he came with Xiaoyan. Maybe he was Xiaoyan's friend?"
"What do you look at? His surname is Wang! His name is Wang Qian. The one who sang for Tang Jing in "The Mysterious Singing King"? Did you listen to "Bay of Lake Baikal"? It was written by him. He called himself Wang Banbi! He said that he is half of the music industry!"
"I haven't heard of Lake Baikal, and there are people like this? If you can sing, you say that you are half of the country?"
"What's so strange about people who are not famous always speak wildly. Relying on these crazy words to attract attention and excel, what's so strange about it?"
Wang Qian was eating snacks and drinking drinks, and found that there were several people nearby looking at him with contempt and even pointing at him. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Has he offended these people before? Why do he feel that they are very unhappy with him?
"Teacher Wang! Are you here?" Tang Jing noticed Wang Qian at some point. After seeing Wang Qian, she was surprised to see the crowd around her and walked towards Wang Qian.
"Well, seeing that you are busy, I didn't greet you." Wang Qian stood up and smiled at Tang Jing.
"I haven't seen each other for a few days, are you okay recently?" Tang Jing almost wanted to hug Wang Qian after coming over, but in the end she just held Wang Qian's hand with both hands, still looking very close. Of course, it was the kind of intimacy between close friends.
The songs Wang Qian wrote for her made her feel like she was writing about her life. Whether it was "The Sea and the Sky" or "She Said", Tang Jing now regards Wang Qian as her life mentor.
"Okay! I went to CCTV before I came back." Wang Qian smiled at Tang Jing. It was a good harvest to meet a friend like Tang Jing through "The Mysterious Singing King".
Because Tang Jing took the initiative to say hello to Wang Qian and seemed very close, many people in the venue looked at Wang Qian together and found that he was an unknown junior in the circle, and his face looked a little strange.
You should know that those who attended the party tonight were either elites in the Go world, or big names in the circle who knew Go and liked Go. Wang Qian saw that he had no qualifications or fame. With Tang Jing's connection, he naturally had no good looks on him.
Especially a man in his thirties who was around Tang Jing just now, a rich second-generation Go national player. At this time, he even saw Wang Qian's expression with great hostility. The man's name is Gu Jiangnan, he is a Go national player. His level is not as high as the world's top, but he is also a first-tier national player.
Gu Jiangnan is pursuing Tang Jing crazy recently, and there is no progress at the moment. He knows that Tang Jing is currently single and dealing with the emotional window, but he has not responded to his pursuit for a long time. Seeing that Tang Jing is so intimate with Wang Qian, he naturally regards Wang Qian as his imaginary rival.
Speaking of which, Wang Qian is really unfair. The relationship between him and Tang Jing is just a pure friendship, but it is impossible for Gu Jiangnan to know.
While Wang Qian and Tang Jing were talking, Liu Xiaoxi and Yao Chengzhou also came over. After Tang Jing saw them, he quickly pulled Wang Qian's arm and walked towards them. This slightly intimate action made Gu Jiangnan even more jealous, and his eyes looked at Wang Qian became a little vicious.
"Are everyone here?"
An old man in his sixties but in good spirits spoke on the rostrum, and the audience suddenly became quiet. Tang Jing, Liu Xiaoxi, Yao Chengzhou and Wang Qian also stopped making noise and looked at the rostrum together.
"This friend circle party initiated by me first. After several years of development, I didn't expect it to form such a large scale! From the beginning, a small circle of more than a dozen people developed into a large circle of hundreds of people, and there were even media follow-up reports. This is all the face that everyone gave me! Here I would like to express my gratitude to all the people on site!" The old man was like a loud voice, and he seemed to exercise regularly and was very healthy.
"He is Xie Yifei, a former master of nine dan, a master-level celebrity in the Go world. He often hangs in the entertainment industry and has also played a guest appearance in many movies and TV shows. You should know him?" Tang Jing whispered a few words to Wang Qian, and his expression still seemed very close, of course he was still just the kind of intimacy between friends.
"I know." Wang Qian nodded.
"Investigate, who is this ugly fat man?" Gu Jiangnan greeted the younger brother beside him. Tang Jing has always been lukewarm to everyone, but she is so intimate with Wang Qian that Gu Jiangnan can't help but think about that.
"I see that everyone has arrived, and I won't say much nonsense. The small competition held last year was very lively. Many members suggested that this year continue the way last year. What do you think?" Xie Yifei on the rostrum continued to ask everyone for advice.
"OK!"
"Master Qi has the final say!"
"Just wait for this competition!"
“What are the prizes for this year?”
Everyone responded to Xie Yifei, looking very lively. This kind of party is just to make fun of it and make more friends in the fun.
"It will scare you after saying this year's prize." Xie Yifei smiled strangely.
"Oh? What the hell is it? Why did it scare us?"
"I won't be rewarded with a beautiful girl, right? Haha..."
"Just give me Teacher Tang a prize!"
"Are you bored?"
"Reveal the answer quickly! I didn't expect much from the competition, but now I've been full of interest!"
Everyone joked that the main purpose of attending this party was to meet more friends. Winning prizes in the small competition was just for fun, and no one really took it seriously.
"This time the prize is a cultural relic collected by Master Song. It was produced in the 1920s. It is a pair of Go made of Hetian jade!" While Xie Yifei said, the staff next to him showed a photo of Hetian jade Go on the big screen, which aroused a lot of surprise to everyone at the scene.
"With so much Hetian jade being replaced today, the raw materials will cost at least 1.5 million to 2 million yuan to complete!"
