Mandy, who was holding the phone, suddenly changed her tune. She realized that she had made the wrong move and wanted to change her tune. She suddenly raised her head and slammed the table hard, causing the person on the other side of the table to fall into a long test. The sweaty Moroccan chess player almost had his heart go out of his throat. Spit it out.

In Pavilion B of the Spanish National Pavilion, in front of one of the countless chess tables that has attracted the most attention, the Moroccan chess player took his eyes off the chessboard in front of him and looked up at Spain across the table in horror. Blonde female chess king.

He noticed that the beautiful face of the other party who was talking on the phone had a rather gloomy expression. He thought that the girl was dissatisfied with him for taking long exams and wasting time. In a hurry, he could only give in aggrievedly.

"I surrender."

Reporters from major magazines and chess websites beside the chess board immediately took pictures. The camera flashes clicked. The referee came over with a troubled expression and looked at Mandy who was still on the phone while playing chess and whispered, "Ms. Gonzalez, We are still in the competition. Is it inappropriate for you to keep communicating? I don’t mean that. I just want to say that this may have a lot of negative effects on you. After all, people’s words are scary.”

"If you think I'm cheating, you can disqualify me. I don't need to use this competition to prove my strength, but your competition requires me to win the championship to prove the gold content of the event itself." Mandy lowered her head and glanced at the chessboard in front of her. The quality is worrying, and the chess game is almost won with a murderous attitude, he said calmly.

She ignored the referee's embarrassment and entanglement, suddenly stood up, pushed away the ergonomic chair carefully prepared by the tournament for each player, stood up, glanced coldly at the reporters and other stunned players in the room, and held The phone left the game with an expressionless expression.

When Mandy Gonzalez left the competition room, the moment she walked out, the flash exploded several times brighter than before, the shutter clicked continuously, and under the spotlight, the red velvet restraints on the backstage were polished into chess pieces. The "Queen's" crystal trophy sparkled.

That meant she gave up that trophy, a trophy that meant nothing to her.

"Mandy! Mandy!"

Outside the corridor of the lounge, the agent wrapped in a black butt-hugging skirt ran anxiously. When he saw the familiar blonde girl leaning against the corridor with her mobile phone, she immediately quickened her pace, her high heels clicking.

"Mandy! When I was scrolling through 'X' and 'instagram' just now, I saw those reporters making up nonsense again. They falsely accused you of acting like a celebrity during the game and doing it through your mobile phone." The manager ran up to him panting, only to find that Mandy raised her hand to silence her.

"Have you never heard of Shilan Noble Junior \u0026 Senior Highschool? Isn't that a very famous school in China? What? Is it a high school? A private high school? Forget it, book me the nearest flight ticket. If there is no first class, then business class It's okay, that's it, let the nanny wait for me downstairs at the competition venue, and I will go to the airport as soon as possible." Mandy Gonzalez hung up the phone, looked up and looked at the approaching agent and said, "Maria, please help me withdraw from the competition. There will be no competition in the next competition. I have to go to China."

"China? Why are you going to China? Putting aside this, have you seen the bombardment against you on social media? They are slandering you."

"It's true what they said, I did take a call during the game."

Mandy walked past the agent and came to the window with her hands in the pockets of her oversized white sweatshirt. She poked her head out to see if the nanny car had arrived downstairs.

"What are you doing on the phone during the game?"

"I answered a very interesting phone call. It was so interesting that I didn't want to hang up, so I played chess while on the phone. I won anyway, there is no difference."

"Mandy, do you know? All the media outside are now criticizing you for possibly cheating on the sidelines through that phone call! Now those public opinions are even beginning to question the authenticity of your chess championship victory! There must be someone behind this incident To add fuel to the flames, those superficial guys just don’t want to believe that the Linares Chess Super Competition champion will be won by a woman for three consecutive times!” The agent didn’t look generally impatient.

"Then just let them say it. Before questioning me, first find someone who can play chess against me. They can choose anyone they want, Russians, Americans, Chinese, as long as they can play chess. I accept all doubts and retire and declare that I will never touch chess in my life." Mandy saw the nanny car turning out of the parking lot and left from the window, stepping on her white coconut shoes and trotting briskly towards it. Safe passage downstairs.

"Mandy, wait!" The agent hurriedly followed the arrogant chess genius girl who was said to be rare in a century.

Indeed, Mandy Gonzalez had the capital to despise all doubts. Chess is a very simple activity. There are 32 chess pieces on a chessboard. The only way to gain respect is to win, and keep winning, just like this blonde girl did when she stood on the chess world all over the world, killing all the old kings with a contemptuous momentum, and sitting hard on the world champion throne that has been occupied alternately by China, Russia, and the United States with her jeans-wrapped buttocks.

Her popularity and accumulated honors have reached the level of being known to the world. Time magazine even interviewed her. In the cover of the current issue, she rejected the olive branch of Chanel designers and took the initiative to accept the fashion design invitation of another relatively less famous "Schiaparelli", just because the original founder of the "Schiaparelli" brand was "not born in a professional school" and was the mortal enemy of all mainstream brands such as Chanel.

This coincides with Mandy Gonzalez's past on the road of chess - a girl from a divorced Spanish family who was born in a wild way, defeated all kinds of professional chess players who graduated from professional schools, and rubbed all the apprentices of famous teachers and past world champions on the ground, and finally won the highest point of the chess stage, announcing her strength and existence to the whole world!

When Mandy Gonzalez won the Nares Chess Super Tournament for the first time, it was a blockbuster. That tournament was called the most valuable chess tournament. All the famous players who had been on leave due to illness returned to participate in the competition, and Mandy Gonzalez climbed up by stepping on the heads of previous world champions.

When those famous players of the grandfather generation were quickly defeated by this girl with golden hair, who even wore a sling hoodie bought on the street in the official competition, the whole chess world described the scene in a surprisingly consistent way - it felt like living in a girl's dream.

Mandy Gonzalez turned this dream into reality. From a little Spanish girl who no one cared about, she became the focus of the world. Fashion magazines approached her, various mainstream media interviewed her, HBO and Netflix approached her to buy the authorization to make a documentary about her, and various chess tournament organizers hoped that she would do them a favor to increase the attention of the tournament.

When the agent mentioned the public's doubts and abuse, Mandy did not have the slightest anxiety or worry, because her strength came from her self-confidence and pride. She had the capital to play big and the strength to despise those rumors. This is also what the agent is most fascinated by this girl. Even she herself was impressed by the girl's story and squeezed her head to become one of the flashlights of the halo around her.

Since she officially stepped onto the stage, she has never lost once. On the stage of chess, she debuted at the peak. In public events, she has never lost a game to others, and at most it was a draw.

Undefeated Queen is her nickname, and it is also the most fascinating point of her fans. She is like the goddess of chess, born to bring victory.

"Maria, I'm going to China!"

In the corridor, Mandy put her hands in her pockets, looked down at the stairs and walked down the stairs briskly, "Will you go with me?"

"Of course!" The agent adjusted his half-frame glasses and laughed and cried, "But the game here is halfway through"

"Just like what I said just now, turn it down! Turn it down!" Mandy snorted twice, "I came here to find out if there are any new stars and masters, but it turns out to be a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. I want to yawn. Who cares about the little prize money it sets? The base of their trophy is even covered with copper. If I want to make money by playing chess, why don't I take the private lessons of Princess Leonor from the royal family?"

"That's right." The agent could only smile bitterly.

She also manages the finances of this girl. Since she won the chess championship, she has been like a money-making machine running at full speed, whether in the chess circle, international influence, or media opinion. The wealth she has accumulated in just two or three years is an astronomical figure. But these monotonous figures are not the most valuable wealth of this girl. What makes her most enviable and respected is the circle she has opened up in the Spanish royal family and the European royal family.

Her own personality, age, appearance, and chess level all combined together have become her ticket to enter the real aristocratic circle. It is no exaggeration to say that Mandy Gonzalez is like a fish in water in that circle, getting along with those prospective successors. This may be related to her brain that is the best in the world at chess.

It is said that many princes in the royal family are fascinated by her, and the princesses regard her as a close friend. Money is one of the most vulgar things in her wealth. The Spanish royal family, which controls the silver mines in Potosi, Bolivia, never cares how rich the person they are dating is. They always value the characteristics of a person. Obviously, Mandy Gonzalez's characteristics have been recognized by those noble royal families. She is often invited to the Spanish Royal Palace to have afternoon tea and play chess with young royal families.

Knowing very well that the host in front of him does have the capital and strength to be willful, the agent can only open his mobile phone to check the flight information without complaint, and asked in confusion, "China? Why do you want to go to China?"

Mandy has always been like this. Although she has received many honors and is regarded as the goddess of chess in the eyes of the public and a living national treasure in the eyes of the Spanish people, in the eyes of her agent, she is still the one she accidentally discovered in the park. A lively, out-of-the-box little girl who loves to play chess.

And little girls will always long for those beautiful but unrealistic things, such as a trip that can just go.

"Go to China to play chess." Mandy Gonzalez answered quite simply, "There is a very powerful opponent there!"

"Didn't you defeat the talented Chinese chess player in the last international championship? He often plays with you online. The recent record of the two of you seems to be 3 wins, 4 losses and zero losses, right? He has never Even if I beat you, it would be a draw. Are there any other Chinese chess players worthy of your attention besides him?”

“Maria, do you think it’s true or false that ‘X’ and ‘Facebook’ said that I was constantly debating chess moves when I answered the phone during the game.”

"Of course it's fake!"

"Actually, it's true." Mandy said, "It's just that the right move was not the one I played. The Moroccan boy was still a little too young. I probably knew his level after only twelve moves. . But at that time I received a strange call, a transoceanic call from China. On the phone, he didn’t say who he was, but just invited me to play blind chess.”

"Blind chess? That's why they said you kept talking about chess moves when you were on the phone."

"Don't care what they say, the most important thing is that I lost that blind chess game." When Mandy said this, instead of being frustrated and angry, her eyes were shining with light.

"You lost?" The manager was stunned, and then his expression changed, "Mandy! Don't talk nonsense about this matter. Who else have you told this matter besides me?"

"Okay, okay, I know what kind of persona you are creating for me in the outside world, but this is not the same thing at all. I have never lost on a normal slow chess board, but on fast chess and blind chess. It’s another track,” Mandy said casually.

"No, not everyone understands chess. What most people see is actually just a gimmick. Now many people are staring at you and want to carve out a piece of flesh from you. They will attack you at all costs for the sake of hot spots and traffic. , if they let them know about it.”

"So I'm going to China!"

Mandy went down to the first floor and stood in front of the door. She turned to look at the agent on the stairs. She covered her head with the sweater hat. Her long, slightly curly golden hair fell smoothly behind the brim of the hat. She picked up her hair. He raised his eyebrows and said, "A cross-oceanic phone call, an excellent chess player, and a simple invitation. What reason do I have to refuse this wonderful development?"

After saying that, she showed her signature smile, which made people hate her. It seemed that she could forgive all her naughty smiles. She turned around and pushed open the door.

The sunshine outside and the guns and cannons immediately hit her with a dense "click" sound. She ran towards the end of the red carpet composed of people with familiar steps. The agent stopped the reporter and followed her quickly. Got into the nanny's car.

After getting in the car, Mandy did not forget to lower the window and gave a long and beautiful middle finger to the unscrupulous reporters and paparazzi who asked malicious and misleading questions, leaving everyone with a satisfied picture in Tomorrow Magazine. Headline photo.
