  Chapter 1 Two dudes

   In the summer of 2018, Jinling City, the famous Qinhuai River.

  Located on Chaoku Street on the banks of the Qinhuai River, a young man in his 30s hesitated and looked around. He walked to a private river house building and stood still. When he saw the plaque of "Meixianglou" on the building, a smile appeared on the young man's face.

   At this moment, his phone rang, the young man answered the call, and the voice of another young man came from the phone:

   "Xiang Ping, have you arrived yet?"

   "Arrived, I have seen the plaque of Meixianglou, hey Daokai, I said you kid is not fooling me, right? This broken place is the famous Shili Qinhuai? What about Qinhuai Bayan?"

There was a burst of laughter on the phone: "Haha Qinhuai Bayan? I was in DG a few years ago, but in recent years, I have become a young model and an Internet celebrity. Why, your kid came to Jinling this time to visit Qinhuai Bayan. ? Changed the path of nostalgic Sichun?"

   "Nostalgic Sichun? Haha, you said it well" The young man laughed:

"Isn't there a saying that says that Qinhuai is not a straight man, so this time, I'm going to leave Jinling's first night in Qinhuai's old courtyard, how about Daokai? It's rare for me to visit you once. Site, have you thought about how to entertain me?"

  While this young man named "Xiang Ping" was talking nonsense, the person on the other end of the phone became impatient:

   "Okay, okay, your first night was lost more than ten years ago, and what did you tell me to stay in the Qinhuai old courtyard, stop talking nonsense, where are you now? I'll come and pick you up."

  The young man looked left and right, and then reported his specific location to the phone. After hanging up the phone, the young man silently stood there, waiting for his friend to pick him up.

   This young man's name is Li Xiangping, and he is thirty-one this year.

   Well, according to the standards of the Chinese, he has already passed his thirties. However, I am ashamed to say that, although this guy looks good, his parents gave him a decent skin, but he couldn't get along with the "Zeli" **** horse at all. If you want a career without a career, if you want a family without a family, until now, nothing has been accomplished.

   But fortunately, although your guy is not very talented, your reincarnation skills are quite good. He was born into a fairly well-to-do family, the old man Li Yuanhu is the boss of a listed company, so although Li Xiangping is a bit of a playboy, he is also qualified to eat and wait to die.

   He came to Jinling this time, but the old man of his family saw that he was not too young, and it was not a problem to idle around all day, so he wanted to find something serious for him to do.

   But what should he do? The old man took a lot of thought.

  Because Li Yuanhu was a foreman, the listed company he managed was basically engaged in business related to construction and real estate. , So after thinking about it, the old man thought that he still has an antique construction company in his hands. This subsidiary company is not large, and it is more suitable for his son to practice. It is for this reason that Li Xiangping came to Jinling this time. .

Because Li Yuan told him that despite the relatively small scale of this subsidiary, it is not so easy to take care of it well. Since it is an "antique" approach, of course, it must have a certain understanding of ancient Chinese architecture. learn. So in this way, during the recent period, Li Xiangping has been running in cities with many ancient buildings such as Suzhou, Beijing, Chang'an, and Jinling, and inspected ancient buildings according to the old man's will. Jinling was his last stop.

   "Xiang Ping, here."

   After a while, the person on the phone just now appeared in front of Li Xiangping. This guy's name is Zhao Daokai. Like Li Xiangping, he is also a dummy. Since the Zhao and Li families are family friends, the two families have had a deep friendship since their grandfathers, and the two have grown up together since childhood. The kind of legendary hair boy and best friend.

   After the two met, Zhao Daokai punched Li Xiangping with a smile:

   "I heard from Uncle Li that you were coming to Jinling, why did you arrive now?"

   Li Xiang glanced at his friend: "It's not like you don't know, Jinling is also a place of my heartbreak, so I don't want to come to this broken place unless I have to."

   Hearing what Li Xiangping said, Zhao Daokai was stunned:

   "In my impression, you don't seem to have been to Jinling, so why is this a sad place? Oh yes"

  Zhao Daokai made a very fake appearance, and then showed a wretched smile that everyone knows: "Could it be that you have been dumped by Jinling Niu before? Come on and listen, when did that happen?"

   "Fuck off, what do you guys think, it's always only me who dumps others, when will it be someone else's turn to dump me."

  Li Xiangping showed a playful face, and he continued to say to Zhao Daokai:

   "Why haven't I been to Jinling, you forgot, eighteen years ago"

   The two are only in their early 30s. 18 years ago was exactly 2000. At that time, the two were only thirteen or fourteen years old. Therefore, listening to Li Xiangping say "18 years ago" makes people feel awkward.

   But after all, the two are very familiar with each other, Zhao Daokai immediately understood what Li Xiangping said:

   "Oh. When I think about it, it turns out that you were talking about the last time you participated in the fixed stage competition. It seems that the competition was under Jinling. What?"

   Zhao Daokai stared at Li Xiangping and said with a smile: "For that game, or to say that you failed to become a professional chess player in the end, don't you think you haven't put it down yet, otherwise there is no place to be sad."

   Li Xiangping was noncommittal about Zhao Daokai's words, neither admitting nor refuting.

   Zhao Daokai is right, Li Xiangping was indeed a young boy in the rush, which is actually seen from his name: Xiang, Shi Xiangxia is also, Ping, Fan Xiping is also. These two are both famous chess masters in the medieval chess. Since he has such a name, of course, it has nothing to do with Go.

   Of course, if a person has such a name, it usually does not mean that he likes Go, but that his parents may be very fond of Go. For example, Li Xiangping is like this. Li Yuanhu, an old man from his family, although he was born as a contractor, is not that vulgar. He has a very elegant hobby, that is, Li Yuanhu likes Go.

Not to mention, Li Yuanhu's love of Go is not arty. He is a real super chess fan, and his level is quite good. Not only is he good at it, but he is also a fan of Fan and Shi. It is for this reason that he can Name your son like this.

   When Li Xiangping was first born, it was just in time for the previous China-Japan Go tournaments in full swing. In other words, it was just in time for the first wave of Go in China. Therefore, when Li Xiangping was young, Li Yuanhu really intended to let him take the path of professional Go, sent Li Xiangping to formally study Go for a long time, and let him participate in fixed-stage competitions for several years, but in the end There was no success.

   Looking back now, Li Xiangping would not say how sad he was for not being able to become a professional chess player in the end. He just felt a little pity, or he was a little unconvinced in his heart.

   Especially the last time, when Li Xiangping participated in Jinling when he was 13 years old, the experience of that competition made him unable to let go until now.

   There were 13 rounds in that competition. In the first 9 rounds, Li Xiangping won 9 consecutive victories. According to the competition rules of the year, as long as he wins the 10th round, he will be able to qualify for the fixed stage in advance.

   It's just a pity that he lost the 10th round.

   It’s okay to lose only one set. According to the situation of that year, as long as he can win the next set in the last 3 rounds, he can also become a professional beginner.

   It's a pity that he didn't win one of the last three sets.

  So just like that, Li Xiangping finally lost 9 wins and 4 losses, and this was the last time he passed a professional chess player.

The Go Fixed Duan competition has been held in China for decades, and the annual competition system is basically the same. In Li Xiangping's impression, the first nine rounds and nine consecutive victories failed to successfully set the Duan Duan. For decades, it seems that he is the only one. There is only one person, and it is for this reason that Li Xiangping regards this competition as a great shame in his life.

   At this time, Zhao Daokai said again:

"I'm surprised. Although you are a little bit mentally ill, but according to your level in the past year, if you continue to participate in the next year, maybe you can become a professional chess player, but why won't Uncle Li let you continue? down?"

   Hearing Zhao Daokai say this, Li Xiangping pouted:

"It's not like you don't know my old man, he is a stubborn old man, and he is deeply poisoned by Japanese Go. I remember there was a saying in the Japanese chess world at that time, saying that the best age for a person is before the age of 13. If you exceed this If I am old, even if I can become a professional chess player in the end, it will not be very promising in the end. So this is how my Go journey ends.”

   "Oh? So that's what hehehe"

   Seeing that Li Xiangping's face was a little bad, Zhao Daokai quickly stopped:

"Okay, okay, I don't think you should blame Uncle Li. If you want me to tell you, it's actually a good thing that you're not a professional chess player. After I was born, I felt that being a professional chess player was not really interesting."

  Li Xiangping stopped talking, thinking that Go is now the world of "dogs". Humans have no resistance at all in front of all kinds of big dogs and puppies, foreign dogs, and local dogs. Li Xiangping thinks about it and feels boring.

   Thinking of this, Li Xiangping packed up his mood and didn't bother about what happened 18 years ago. He smiled to Zhao Daokai:

"Okay, let's not talk about this, by the way, Dao Kai, I came here this time to greet you a long time ago, how is it, this time I came to your site, how did you think about entertaining me? ?"

   Zhao Daokai chuckled: "Of course, since it's a treat for you, Young Master Li, how dare I neglect it when I'm young, I've already prepared, come with me."

   "Where to go?"

   "In order to entertain you, I specially ordered a painting boat."

   "Painting boat?" Li Xiangping said in surprise:

   "Jinling's entertainment industry is still so advanced with the times? Even the painting boats have been rectified by you?"

   "Of course!" Zhao Daokai laughed:

"Originally, there was none, but since you are coming, then why don't I have to bring you out? You were talking to me about Qinhuai Bayan just now, didn't you just want to go the way of nostalgic Sichun? Well, I will fulfill your wish now and give you a chance to nostalgic spring."

   Hearing Zhao Daokai say this, Li Xiangping, who was used to hanging out with young Internet celebrities, became interested:

   "Well, I really want to see it today."

The two walked forward while talking and laughing. Zhao Daokai led Li Xiangping to a dock. Li Xiangping saw an antique painting boat appear in front of him. At the same time, a beauty in ancient costume came out of the painting boat. Welcome up:

   "Hello, welcome."
