Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 476 Go Girl (1230)

In the United States, even if it is a breakup between celebrity couples, they will not specifically say something about it on social platforms. Under normal circumstances, the two parties will unfollow each other, and release some "inside information" through familiar reporters to inform the fans. However, the breakup between Jiang Mingliang and Taylor Swift can be regarded as a peaceful breakup, and Jiang Mingliang will maintain his identity as a "swftie", so the first step was not implemented, but a reporter announced it to the public.

Jiang Mingliang and Taylor Swift can be regarded as the most concerned couple in recent years. Handsome men and beautiful women, handsome (wealthy) and female appearance, complementary personalities, no matter in the United States or in China, there are many fans who are optimistic about Jiang Mingliang's final acceptance of Taylor Swift, but things backfired, and finally there was news that the two broke up, which is unavoidable. Pity. However, whether it was Taylor Swift herself or her group of girlfriends, no one came out to diss Jiang Mingliang, presumably it was a peaceful breakup, and the impact of this incident was minimized as much as possible.

Staying in the office to work, Jiang Mingliang also received some text messages from friends to "relieve" one after another. Jiang Mingliang himself took time to reply, and then continued to work on his own affairs.

There is some depression, but the decision to break up is the result of careful consideration, so there is no emotional hurt. To talk about something that made him even more unhappy, it appeared in Italy. In the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Inter Milan, who was willing to recover in the league, drew 1:1 with their opponents in the home game against Arsenal. The first three rounds were 2 draws and 1 Negative, the team is at the bottom. The poor performance has put the team on the verge of being eliminated, and once the team is eliminated from the Champions League group stage, not to mention that most of the hard-earned reputation will be returned, the direct economic loss will exceed 35 million euros.

Of course, the team's big lineup adjustment and the iron-blooded cleanup of veterans are the main reasons for the failure so far this season. For this, in addition to the head coach Stella Macioni, Jiang Mingliang must also bear certain responsibilities. It can only be said that Jiang Mingliang is also an individual, he is not a golden master, and sometimes his grand strategy may not be successful.

The Inter Milan fans are naturally a little dissatisfied. But fortunately, the team has been in a downturn for several years, at least Jiang Mingliang's work results cannot be ignored, so there is no trend of full screen abuse. This environment is better than that of the Nets at the time. When Jiang Mingliang just took over and replaced Curry with George, he was really criticized by fans.

Friends' relief Jiang Mingliang could respond with a simple reply, but his father Jiang Shixiao personally called to invite Jiang Mingliang to participate in an event, but Jiang Mingliang couldn't help but refuse.

"Lin Jin isn't going?" Before agreeing, Jiang Mingliang confirmed a message with Jiang Shixiao.

Lin Jin, the daughter of Malaysian Chinese rich businessman Lin Furong, had shown a certain interest in Jiang Mingliang in the previous few contacts. Compared with Xie Qirun, who at least had scruples about Jiang Mingliang's status as a "married man", this young lady is a little less particular, and her "offensive" is more fierce.

"Do you think Lin Jin would be interested in Go?" Jiang Shixiao shook his head and denied.

"She's not interested in Go, but she's interested in me," Jiang Mingliang slandered, and then accepted Jiang Mingliang's invitation to attend a gathering of Go lovers.

The influence of Go on a global scale is not large, and it is basically only concentrated in East Asia. However, in recent years, the traditional cultures of the three East Asian countries have been invaded by Western culture, and the taste is far less strong than before. On the contrary, in overseas Chinese areas, because these cultural heritages are used to commemorate, they have been well preserved.

One of the few hobbies Jiang Shixiao has outside of work is Go. Of course, his level is average, probably at the level of an amateur four-dan.

The location of this event is in a chess club in midtown Manhattan. The first impression of this chess club is that it is antique and full of charm! Many guests had already arrived, and while they were talking in twos and threes, many people's eyes lit up when they saw Jiang Mingliang.

"Mr. Jiang Shixiao, hello!" In an instant, four or five people gathered around and stepped forward. Everyone has the mentality of getting rich, so it's not surprising at all.

"Hello." Jiang Shixiao nodded his head one by one, making money in turn, the others combined are not as good as him, but when it comes to playing chess, he is just a stream, not a beginner yet.

It is also indispensable for the elders to praise Jiang Mingliang. Although Jiang Mingliang is not very good at playing Go, he understands the rules a little bit, and he knows how to respect this culture, so he mainly listens.

During the conversation, Jiang Mingliang also accidentally learned the purpose of Jiang Shixiao bringing him to this event today. The owner of the chess club invited national players including Shiyue, Gu Li, and Tuo Jiaxi to give exchange guidance, and in the list of participating activities, there is another Baodao female chess player named Hei Jiajia. He mentioned that he wanted to see Jiang Mingliang.

"A female chess player on Treasure Island?" Well, Jiang Mingliang is really not familiar with it.

"Your popularity in Baodao is much higher than in the mainland." Soon an elder from Baodao said to Jiang Mingliang.

The types that Baodao girls love, rich, handsome, basketball or baseball-related, Jiang Mingliang is involved in all of them, and the Nets have performed well in the past two years and have a high appearance rate. It is no wonder that Jiang Mingliang is not popular. . Even the local Weilai Sports in Baodao has increased the number of broadcasts of the Nets' home games because of Jiang Mingliang's high popularity. It can be said that he is more popular in Baodao than Corey and Ray Baron James.

"Okay, I want to go there when I have time." It's really exciting to have such a superstar card, well, it's quite exciting.

While speaking, several invited chess players arrived under the arrangement of the staff. The market for the game of Go is relatively average, and the income of athletes is not too high, but this time the event offers a lot of remuneration, and the attitude of the champions is still very friendly.

Accompanying Jiang Shixiao to receive these champions, Jiang Mingliang soon came into contact with the "beautiful Go girl" Hei Jiajia called by the elders, good guy, isn't it the iceberg beauty I saw at the hotel a few days ago?

Different from the ice-cold one before, seeing Jiang Mingliang this time, Hei Jiajia immediately showed an uncontrollable smile, and even blushed a little. Fortunately, this is a gathering of chess players. If there are some unscrupulous elders, they will probably make a fuss now up.

"Hello~ My name is Hei Jiajia, and I'm from Baodao. I like you very much." Hei Jiajia expressed his affection to Jiang Mingliang generously, which made Jiang Mingliang even more confused. Is that the same person here?

"Thank you, I've also heard that I'm very popular in Baodao. Wow, I'm a little flattered." Jiang Mingliang smiled, and then gave a polite hug under the girl's expectant eyes.

After a brief welcome ceremony, there was an exchange and discussion about Go culture. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Hei Jiajia happened to be assigned to Jiang Shixiao to "face the battle".

Facing Jiang Shixiao, who is not very good, Hei Jiajia fully conceded four players, but still won in the middle game. But, the focus is on communication, especially with Jiang Mingliang.
