The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Qin Ziyan had been ridiculed by Qin Ruo time and again, and now he wished that she would be embarrassed in front of everyone.

When he saw Qin Ruo casually fiddling with the black and white chess pieces a few times, he shamelessly asked her to solve Mr. Mingjing's chess game. Qin Ziyan did not stop her, as he deliberately wanted to see Qin Ruo make a fool of herself.

He just stood there without saying a word, and didn't even bother to look at the chessboard that Qin Ruo had just moved.

The game that Mr. Mingjing had set up in Qingfengju three years ago had been tried by countless scholars and even classmates in the academy.

He himself has tried it, but unfortunately no one has been able to solve it so far.

It is for this reason that Qingfengju Teahouse became famous.

Now, Qin Qiuxi had never been to any school, but by luck he could recognize a few words.

He dared to say shamelessly that he had solved Mr. Mingjing's endgame.

It's really ridiculous!

Looking at the crowd gradually gathering around him, Qin Ziyan felt a sense of vengeful pleasure in his heart.

The idea of ​​sharing weal and woe is not within his consideration.

The place where the chessboard was placed was already surrounded by people.

Qin Ziyan felt that his chance had come, and turned around and scolded Qin Ruo harshly.

"It's fine if you're just greedy for fame and fortune, but you haven't even been to school for a day. How can you solve a chess game? Do you think you can mess around in this place?"

The people who came over to watch all wanted to get a sneak peek, and no one paid any attention to Qin Ziyan's words.

Qin Ruo did not rush to refute Qin Ziyan, as the public had sharp eyes.

Since someone has offered his face to me for a slap today, I'll just do as he wishes.

"Oh my, I finally solved it! I never thought this girl has such good chess skills. Great! Great!"

"Has this girl really solved Mr. Mingjing's chess game? Please lend it to me, let me see..."

Those who saw it first in the crowd cheered loudly.

Suddenly, there were more people around the chessboard.

Qin Ziyan was standing outside the crowd, and when he heard everyone say that Qin Ruo had really solved the chess game, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Qin Ziyan's face was full of disbelief. He didn't believe at all that Qin Ruo could really solve this endgame. He tried to remind everyone not to make the mistake.

A familiar voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Miss, excuse me. There are a few parts of this chess game that I don't quite understand. Miss, could you please show me the process you just used to crack it? I'd like to take a look at it."

A gentle and bookish young man took his eyes off the chessboard, looked at Qin Ruo with burning eyes, and bowed to her.

Qin Ziyan looked at the person who was bowing to Qin Ruo with a humble attitude, and suddenly felt weak all over as if his steps were stepping on cotton.

He recognized the person in front of him, Lu Jingchen, a prominent figure in Luming Academy and a senior two years older than him.

Lu Jingchen was a man of outstanding literary talent, and his articles were even praised by the governor who visited the academy that year.

Everyone in the academy knows that Lu Jingchen loves chess.

Apart from his studies, Qingfengju is the place he visits most often.

Based on Lu Jingchen's current attitude towards Qin Ruo, Qin Ziyan didn't even need to look at the chess board to know that Qin Ruo had really solved the game.

Senior Brother Lu, who used to be as unreachable as a banished star in the sky, is now bowing to Qin Ruo and asking for advice. What could be a bigger blow to Qin Ziyan than this?

"I've met Senior Brother Lu."

He gritted his teeth secretly, took a few steps forward, bowed with both hands, and saluted Lu Jingchen respectfully.

Lu Jingchen just nodded casually, and immediately cast his expectant eyes towards Qin Ruo again.

Qin Ziyan felt uncomfortable and embarrassed, yet unwilling to give in.

Seeing Lu Jingchen's attitude, he could only tactfully step aside temporarily.

"Why not? If you're interested, then watch carefully. I'll only go once, as promised."

Qin Ruo looked calm. She quickly put the chess pieces back into place on the board, picked up the chess pieces in her hands and gradually restored the chess surface to its original state.

In Qin Ruo's previous life, she had almost a photographic memory.

When she entered Qingfengju, she took a few glances at the chess game and had already memorized it.

Coincidentally, she discovered that she was really good at playing that endgame.

So when I was in the private room, I specifically asked the waiter about it.

The waiter told him that the chess game set up by Mr. Mingjing had increased in value over the years from the initial ten taels to one hundred taels.

She didn't care who Mr. Mingjing was. When she heard that she could get 100 taels of silver if she broke the deadlock, she came up with a plan.

He planned to put the 100 taels of silver into his bag when he left.

Qin Ziyan kept nagging, so Qin Ruo simply took the opportunity to attack this self-important scholar.

You can get the money and make Qin Ziyan unhappy, killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Jingchen wanted her to demonstrate the chess game solution process again, and then she would easily agree, just to beat Qin Ziyan, the fallen dog.

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance. I wonder who taught you how you can be so good at chess?"

Lu Jingchen's tone was excited, completely different from his usual cold demeanor.

Qin Ruo chuckled and placed the last chess piece on the chessboard.

"I've watched others do it a few times, and I'm just figuring it out on my own."

"The girl is extremely talented. I admire her so much! Would you mind playing a game of chess with her?"

He did not show disrespect to Qin Ruo just because she was wearing cloth clothes and a straw hairpin.

Lu Jingchen thought Qin Ruo just didn't feel comfortable talking about it, so he tactfully changed the subject.

Of course, he also really wanted to play a game of chess with Qin Ruoshou, so he invited her.

"I'm afraid I can't do what you want. I have something important to do today..."

"Brother Lu invited you, so just accept it. What are you talking about?"

Qin Ziyan no longer cared about why Qin Ruo was playing chess. He stood up and interrupted Qin Ruo harshly.

Lu Jingchen comes from a good family and writes good articles.

Qin Ziyan had tried his best to make friends with Lu Jingchen in the past, and even learned chess in order to find some common topics.

It’s just that Lu Jingchen’s attitude towards him was distant and lukewarm.

Qin Ziyan was watching Qin Ruo from the side, but he was deeply shocked and in great pain after finishing the chess game again in such a short time.

What made him upset was that he felt that Qin Ruo's way of making money was not decent, as she turned around and solved Mr. Mingjing's chess game.

But by just moving the chess pieces a few times, he got one hundred taels.

He considered himself a scholar and thought there were many respectable ways to earn money, but today he didn't earn a single penny.

Now even Senior Brother Lu, who has always been arrogant, treats her differently. Thinking about her behavior just now, wasn't she just a clown?

Qin Ziyan felt extremely complicated, ashamed and angry.

When he heard Qin Ruo reject Lu Jingchen, he couldn't help but scold Qin Ruo.

All he could think about was that if Qin Ruo could seize this opportunity and please Lu Jingchen, she would be helping him.

With the relationship between me and Qin Ruo, am I still worried that I won’t have the opportunity to make friends with Brother Lu?
