Chapter 287 Playing Chess
"Yes, I leave it all to you."
"Brother Zhou, you're on your honeymoon and you let your brothers work overtime?"
In the rest area of the studio, Linzhou stuffed the official seal and miscellaneous things into Tang Wenyuan's hands.
Tang Wenyuan, who took over the heavy responsibility, had a look of despair on his face.
Now is the most critical time for the studio's transformation, and the core figures are actually thinking about going on vacation. Isn't it a bit irresponsible to put aside whether it is excessive or not?
"It's okay. We've already discussed everything that needs to be discussed. You just need to hand over the formalities when the time comes."
"Okay, have fun." Tang Wenyuan put away the official seal and the messy signed contracts on the table, and leaned back on the sofa in a daze.
After completing the work handover , Linzhou got up and left.
When he returned to the house next door, he saw Jiang Xiyue packing her things there. He quietly went up to her and hugged her from behind. Linzhou spoke, "Wife, there's no need to pack so much. Isn't the first stop in China?"
"Yes, but you must bring underwear and other things." Jiang Xiyue answered in a low voice and continued to pack the suitcase.
But Linzhou just picked her up and put her on the sofa next to him.
"There's still a week left, no need to rush."
"This is called anticipation." Jiang Xiyue muttered softly, but did not continue to act.
For two people, the only difference between life after marriage and life before marriage is that they can do whatever they want.
The honeymoon itinerary has been decided. We will first go to the Jiangnan water town, then turn to Neon, and then go to a place near the North Pole to see the aurora. There are three places in total, and the estimated time is half a month.
Both of them were looking forward to this trip. Although it might cost a lot of money, fortunately they had saved some money in advance.
Jiang Xiyue squatted on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"Hubby, come with me to find mom later."
"Okay, we haven't visited for more than a month." Linzhou replied, closing the half-packed suitcase and putting it in a corner where it would not be in the way.
After locking the door, the two drove off.
There is a difference between visiting your future father-in-law and visiting your father-in-law's house. In the past, Linzhou would bring some fruits, but now he goes empty-handed, and when he might even ask for something else.
That family cannot have two different opinions.
It didn't take long before the two men stood at the door. Jiang's father, who had been sitting there playing chess with the old man, waved to Linzhou to play after seeing the two men.
"Linzhou, come here."
"Okay." Linzhou had nothing to say about his father-in-law's request. He just sat there and looked at the new chess game.
Because it was Go, Linzhou, who was sitting there, was playing black and he placed the piece at the center as soon as he raised his hand.
Seeing this move, the old man on the opposite side squinted at the chessboard for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Young man, are you a little bit disrespectful to me?"
"No, no, is there any explanation for this?" Linzhou's face was full of humility.
Seeing Linzhou's ignorant look, the old man could only directly tell the reason, "There is no such restriction in the rules, but it is not very polite."
"I'm sorry." Linzhou nodded slightly and apologized at the speed of light.
Father Jiang stood beside his daughter and whispered, "Yueyue, look at Linzhou, he is talented but without moral integrity."
"It's okay. This was obviously arranged by you. I saw you whispering to Zhou Zhou." Jiang Xiyue answered softly and pushed her father into the house. She hadn't spoken to her father for a long time. Now was the chance for her to say something that only father and daughter could say.
At this time, Linzhou, who was sitting at the door, had a Xiaobai expression on his face, but his mind was full of the unity of heaven and earth.
The chess game soon reached the middle stage. The old man sitting opposite Linzhou scratched his already graying hair, looked up at Linzhou, and then at the chessboard.
He now had a thousand swear words in his mind. The other party's chess playing style looked like that of a novice.
It’s this chess move…I always feel like something is wrong.
About half an hour later, the old man sitting at the door stormed into the house and started cursing, "Jiang, if you say again that your son-in-law is a novice, I will slap you to death!"
"You are really a newbie. I didn't lie to you." Father Jiang's face was very calm. He picked up the freshly washed apples from the fruit basket next to him and threw them to Linzhou. "Linzhou, you eat first. Lunch will take a while."
Hearing Jiang's father's quibbling, the old man got even angrier. "Bullshit, I've never seen a novice like Shouzi Tianyuan who can beat me by more than 100 points."
Linzhou, who was standing nearby, was chewing an apple pretending to be calm.
It's bad, the fish is fried on the iron plate, this is not martial ethics, it's like playing chess but planning a physical confrontation.
Thinking of this, Linzhou still planned to give this elder a way out.
After all, it was his father-in-law who signaled him with his eyes to kill people just now, so how could he dare not disobey...
So Linzhou swallowed the apple in his mouth and took a step forward. "Can you play chess? I'm good at that."
"Yes." The old man nodded and took Linzhou to find the chessboard.
Jiang Xiyue, who was standing there beating the egg whites, looked at the two's backs and whispered to her father, "Dad, that's your teacher, is he so vicious?"
"He cheated me out of five bottles of good wine in three days." Father Jiang showed a distressed expression on his face.
…
After about an hour, Linzhou looked at the well-dressed old man, stood up and tried to persuade him to stay, "Please stay for dinner before you leave. I want to play two games with you. I also know how to play Go!"
"No more playing. We'll continue next time we have a chance. The young are the real deal."
The old man ran away without looking back. Looking at the chessboard on the table, Linzhou smacked his lips and reached out to start tidying it up.
At this time, Father Jiang also came out wearing an apron.
"How's it going? Did you win?"
“Kill them all!” Linzhou put the chessboard and chess pieces aside and laughed, “You told me to be more ruthless. I won’t care if I offend anyone.”
"It's okay, that's my teacher, he will definitely come again in the evening." Father Jiang answered casually, wiping his hands on his apron, " Where did you learn to play chess? You are so good at it?"
Taking the orange from the table, Linzhou began to answer the question.
"I have been playing against the computer, but I found that the computer could not beat me. Now I don't know what level I am at. Of course, I am definitely not at the level of professional players, who can compete with top AIs."
When Jiang's father wanted to say something, Jiang Xiyue also ran out from the kitchen.
"I promised to go square dancing with my mother tonight. You should come with me too. There are many old gentlemen who can play chess there."
When Linzhou heard that there was a top-notch fish pond, he instantly became excited.
"Okay, I'll definitely go!"
