Gong Yuke looked at everyone’s eyes and did not feel nervous at all. She was very natural.
She smiled and asked, “Why is everyone looking at me? Did I say something that I shouldn’t have?”
Her small group of friends, Zhu Yudai and Pei Shaoshi, were here today.
The three of them stood together. Zhu Yudai didn’t like Qin Jianxi to begin with. Although Qin Jianxi had saved her life before, her family had already paid Qin Jianxi for it, so they were even.
Moreover, Qin Jianxi rejected her birthday party invitation last time, which made her feel embarrassed.
Now that Gong Yuke was taking the lead, she naturally had to stand on her best friend’s side. She chimed in, “Didn’t Miss Qin say that her Chinese chess skills were not bad? That means she must be very good at it. We are terrible at chess, so we would also like to see her skills.”
Old Master Fu glanced at the two of them and said happily, “Xixi, let’s show these people who are terrible at chess the essence of China so that the young people nowadays won’t forget their roots. ”
The group of young people who had been implicated were speechless.
How did this escalate to them forgetting their roots?
Besides, they knew other things, such as horse racing. Many of the younger generation present had received an elite education and were talented in various areas.
Elder Qian didn’t care about anything else. At this moment, he really wanted to experience how powerful the granddaughter-in-law that Old Fu mentioned
“Then let’s play one round.”
Since her grandfather was already so supportive of her, Qin Jianxi naturally wouldn’t drop the ball. She replied, “I’ll do as you say.”
As soon as they made their decision, someone immediately prepared the chessboard and everything else. This time, they took out Chinese chess. This was because Elder Qian was better at Chinese chess than Go.
After Elder Qian sat down, Qin Jianxi sat down opposite him.
Old Master Fu looked at the two of them and said with a smile, “Time is limited. We’ll decide the winner in one round. Oh right, Old Qian, there should at least be some prizes, right? Tell me, what’s your wager?” His tone made the old guys present unable to look at him.
Why was he so sure that Qin Jianxi would win?
What if she lost?
Elder Qian snorted, “You sure she can win? I’ll just… Take this manor…”
Everyone took a deep breath. Had Elder Qian gone mad? He actually used this manor as a bet. According to the current market price, this manor was worth at least tens of billions.
Wasn’t the wager a bit too big?
Elder Qian saw the change in their expressions and could not help but feel a wave of pleasure in his heart. He snorted again, “What are you all thinking? What I mean is to open this manor to Jianxi. In the future, she can come and play however she wants.”
Everyone was speechless.
Elder Qian ignored them and looked at the person sitting opposite him. He asked, “If you lose, I don’t want any other prizes. How about you join my chess
Qin Jianxi nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
“Then let’s begin. I’ll go first.” Elder Qian employed a soldier.
Qin Jianxi chose to move the horse.
Her train of thought was very fast. After Elder Qian placed his piece, she immediately moved as if she had placed it casually without thinking at all.
Outsiders watched the show, while insiders observed the strategies employed in the game.
The people who knew chess quickly felt that Qin Jianxi’s offensive power was very strong. She closed in step by step and ate Elder Qian’s pieces one after another.
In just a few moves, Elder Qian was unable to do anything.
In the past, when this group of old men played chess, it would take more than an hour to play a game of chess. Now, in less than ten minutes, Qin Jianxi killed off all Elder Qian’s pieces, leaving only the general. It was checkmate.
Qin Jianxi said, “Elder Qian, thank you for the game..”
