ââ¦â
The surroundings fell silent once more.
The male intern who had previously praised Si Fuqing was now wide-eyed, filled with disbelief.
Duan Jingtao was ranked professionally at the fourth level, not an amateur.
At twenty-eight years old, he had achieved the rank of professional, despite not specializing in Go, which was quite impressive.
For them, playing Go was mostly a hobby, incomparable to professional players.
But Si Fuqing actually wanted to give Duan Jingtao a ten-move handicap?
Giving even a four-move handicap to Duan Jingtao would be humiliating.
Wasnât this a bit too arrogant?
Sure enough, Duan Jingtaoâs expression darkened immediately.
Especially after hearing the words, âGive your junior sister three more minutes of life.â
To say such venomous words about a girl she had never met, truly showed a heart like a viper!
What did it matter if she was prettier?
Her mind was wicked.
âTen-move handicap? I donât need ten moves to make you surrender,â Duan Jingtao couldnât tolerate such provocation. He gritted his teeth and said, âYou go first. If you donât lose within ten moves, consider it my loss.â
Si Fuqingâs eyes remained lazy, âAlright.â
She picked up a black piece and casually placed it on the board.
Duan Jingtao sneered and followed with a white piece.
Everyone watched the two of them play.
Before joining the variety show, Song Wenhua had been repeatedly warned by her agent to avoid clashing with Si Fuqing.
Although Si Fuqingâs persona as the entertainment industryâs moral compass was bizarre, even outrageous, every star who had tried to use her for clout since her rise to fame on âYouth With Youâ had ended up in scandal.
Even a top-tier celebrity like Xu Jianian had fallen completely.
Song Wenhua had to be cautious.
After spending years in the entertainment industry, one inevitably encountered unspeakable things.
Especially for someone like Song Wenhua, a former child star, who had been around as long as Tong Luoyun.
Seeing Si Fuqing and Duan Jingtao clash, Song Wenhua let out a small sigh of relief.
She shook her head.
Stubbornness would only lead to failure.
Si Fuqing was indeed too stubborn; she would hit a wall sooner or later.
The elderly Go players were also drawn in, gathering around to watch.
The two of them moved quickly, the board soon filled with black and white pieces.
âYoung lady, thatâs the wrong move,â an elderly man said anxiously, âheâs about to block you! You should go to the left.â
Duan Jingtao sneered again, âYouâre about to lose. You must apologize to my junior sister.â
Si Fuqing responded calmly, âIs that so?â
She slowly placed a black piece.
The elderly man was about to speak when he suddenly exclaimed, âOh my!â
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, finding that the black pieces, which were about to be captured by the white pieces, had suddenly made a miraculous comeback.
Duan Jingtao noticed it too.
He glanced at Si Fuqing in surprise and placed another piece.
âSnap.â
Without any hesitation, Si Fuqing placed another black piece.
The room fell silent, the only sound being the pieces hitting the board.
After three more moves, Duan Jingtaoâs expression changed drastically, âYou!â
Si Fuqing raised her eyebrows impatiently, âHurry up.â
Cold sweat dripped from Duan Jingtaoâs face.
He gritted his teeth and placed a white piece, but as soon as he did, he realized he was completely surrounded by Si Fuqingâs black pieces.
The white pieces on the board were utterly decimated, leaving no room for counterattack.
Duan Jingtao stood up abruptly, unable to believe it.
He had been on the verge of winning!
How had the situation reversed so quickly?!
âImpressive, impressive,â the elderly manâs eyes lit up, praising the gameâs brilliance, âyoung lady, you play very well, but itâs quite terrifying.â
His heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, constantly up and down.
âHey, old man, if your heart isnât good, you should take medicine,â hearing this, Si Fuqing looked up, âIâll prescribe some for you later.â
Director Qin, who heard everything clearly, was speechless.
He suspected that Si Fuqing liked to scare people to promote her familyâs pharmaceutical business.
The elderly man nodded repeatedly, âAlright, alright, Iâll wait for your medicine.â
Throughout, Si Fuqing remained composed and calm.
She leaned back in her chair, as arrogant as ever, âIs that all?â
Duan Jingtaoâs face flushed red, âWhat are you so proud of? Do you know my junior sister is better than you? Sheâs already a professional at the eighth rank! I only lost because I was careless!â
âLosing is losing,â the elderly man disagreed, âa grown man, unable to accept defeat, itâs disgraceful. Hmph, if this were in Eastern Mulberry, youâd have to commit seppuku.â
