Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife-Chapter 509: The Petty Man

"Slap!"

Hua Country Go Association.

Li Qingyun stood awkwardly in place, watching Chairman Liu’s furious demeanor; he thought for a long time and realized that since he had become a disciple, Chairman Liu had never lost his temper like this.

But today, because of those comments online, Chairman Liu was so angry that he smashed his favorite teaware!

"Unfilial! Unfilial!"

Chairman Liu angrily paced in his office, considering that Sakura Country and Pickle Country might demand a change in the competition schedule because of Li Shuo’s incident.

But he didn’t expect that they would choose an even more aggressive approach!

They wanted to smear Chairman Liu’s reputation at this very moment!

A person whose reputation was tarnished was unfit to sit in the chairman’s position anyway!

Moreover, the International Go Association has always considered a person’s character as the primary criterion; if a scandal about a player were to break out, the worst case might be the revocation of their professional certificate!

Banning the player from any official competitions!

"How vicious!"

Chairman Liu’s chest heaved with each breath as he slammed the desk and shouted, "When the competition format was set, you had no objections; now you come to trouble me! Do you really think I’m so easily bullied?"

"Master... should we clarify things online? After all, they were the ones who started the trouble."

Li Qingyun said with concern.

In his worldview, although the situation was troublesome, it wasn’t unsolvable; if he explained the reasons directly online, he did not believe netizens wouldn’t trust him!

But he was wrong; the reasons used by Pickle Country and Sakura Country were very good—they were here for cultural exchange.

Although Chairman Liu knew they had ulterior motives, it was impossible to openly accuse them!

Once he tried to clarify things from this angle, Sakura Country and Pickle Country needed only to say slightly: we never thought that way.

A complete loss!

Chairman Liu would also be labeled as suspecting the honorable by the measure of a scoundrel!

From then on, he really wouldn’t need to continue mixing in the world of Go!

"Alas, you’re thinking too simply,"

Chairman Liu calmed down and let out a sigh, "You know their true purpose here; the professional players know, but there will always be netizens who don’t! All they see is the game of Go, things like Go circles, starting anew—they won’t understand!"

"Ah? So what do we do? We can’t just sit and wait for death."

Li Qingyun said, not understanding: "Speaking out gives us a slim chance, staying silent and letting the issue ferment will get us criticized even worse."

Thorns to the left, thorns to the right!

Chairman Liu truly felt a wave of headache.

Now was not the time to change the schedule, even if there had to be a change, certainly not now!

Changing it now would only make everyone think that he was tampering with the match!

"Alas... such a poisonous scheme..."

Chairman Liu slumped into his chair, and in this moment, he realized he had seemingly fallen into a trap.

When he had proposed the competition format, had Pickle Country and Sakura Country really shown no objection at all?

Probably not!

They were just waiting for this moment, waiting for the chance to bring it up and take the position of the victim to complain to everyone!

"I’ve miscalculated..."

"Master... why don’t we go find Song Yun, see if he has any ideas?"

Li Qingyun suggested softly: "There’s strength in numbers."

"Right! Song Yun!"

Chairman Liu grabbed his coat and rushed out, shouting: "You wait here for me!"

During the registration of players’ information, Song Yun had left an address; after Chairman Liu got it from the staff, he drove towards the Bai Family’s estate.

When he arrived at the Bai Family’s gate, he was stunned by the grandeur of the high walls and large compound.

Does the Song Yun family have so much influence inside Forty-nine City?

He parked the car, swallowed his saliva, and walked towards the grand entrance.

"Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"

The two gatekeepers stopped President Liu and asked.

Seeing their towering figures and bright, piercing eyes, he knew this was no ordinary family!

"I am here to see Song Yun."

"Young Master Song?"

One of the gatekeepers furrowed his brow and said, "Please tell me your name and position, and I will go announce your arrival."

Overcome by their presence, President Liu struggled to catch his breath and hurriedly gave his details before being led aside to rest.

"Butler Liao, there’s someone at the gate claiming to be the president of the Go association here to see Young Master Song. Could you please check if he is recognized?"

The staff member took out a walkie-talkie and asked right in front of President Liu.

Before long, an elderly voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Young Master Song says to have him come to the study room."

"Received!"

He tucked the walkie-talkie into his waist and smiled at President Liu, "Thank you for waiting. You can go in now, someone will guide you from the door."

"Alright, alright..."

President Liu couldn’t wait to get away from the two men; their presence made his skin crawl, especially the way they looked at him.

Like two wolves!

Entering the Bai Family manor, a middle-aged man dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit greeted him with a smile, "President Liu, right? The old master and Young Master Song have been waiting for you in the study room."

"Yes, thank you for leading the way."

As they say, even a third-grade official has to be polite at the prime minister’s gate; he dared not assert his status.

After taking several turns inside the Bai Family residence, admiring the numerous sights, they finally arrived at the door of the study.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Who is it?"

Old Master Bai’s voice came from inside.

"Old Master, President Liu has arrived."

"Ah, ah, ah! Come in."

The middle-aged man gestured for him to enter.

With trepidation, President Liu pushed the door open to see Song Yun sitting in a chair, supporting his head with one hand as if in a daze.

Old Master Bai, on the other hand, was peering at a computer with reading glasses on. Read exclusive chapters at novelbuddy

"President Liu is here! Come over and help me out with this move!"

Old Master Bai beckoned to President Liu.

President Liu hurried over to see Old Master Bai playing an online game of Go with great enjoyment.

After glancing at the board, he pointed to a spot and said, "If you play here, anyone with a bit of skill will know they’ve lost."

After Old Master Bai made the move, the opponent, after several minutes of thought, clicked to surrender.

"Hahaha, President Liu, you are impressive!"

Old Master Bai closed the computer and said with a laugh, "What brings you to the Bai Family today? Have you dealt with the matters at the venue?"

"Old Master, I have come today with a matter of great urgency!"

After recounting the day’s events, President Liu smiled wryly, "Now I am essentially stuck in the middle, no matter what choice I make, the other party has their next move waiting for me."

"Hmm... this situation is a bit difficult."

Old Master Bai rubbed his temples and said, "The only support I can give you is to help you get this match underway, but as for what people say online... that’s beyond my control."

"Alas, it is impossible to silence public opinion! I know what I must do. Even if it means playing the villain once, I will make it happen!"
