The Industrial Kingdom of the Great Age

Chapter 433 Playing Chess, Just for Entertainment
When I met Zhao Ming, I didn't have time to say a few words, but I was blackmailed by him. The deputy secretary was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.

The deputy secretary pointed at Zhao Ming helplessly, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so long, so why don't you just invite me to eat some fruit, and ask me to treat you to dinner? It's really..."

Zhao Ming also burst out laughing, stepped forward and took the deputy secretary's hand, and said, "I'm just joking with you old man, how dare I let you treat me, I should treat you if you want to. The meal time is coming soon, why don't we come together to eat?"

The deputy secretary shook his head with a smile, and said, "Forget it, there are regulations above. If you want to, just buy some fruit and give me a piece of fruit."

Zhao Mingdao: "That's fine. You just said you were going to meet an old friend and it's still nearby, so I'll buy it here and take it with you."

When the two said this, the deputy secretary had already brought Zhao Ming there, and Zhao Ming saw a fruit stand on the way and went to buy some.Being recognized, he didn't plan to take money from him, but he gave it anyway.

After taking the fruit, Zhao Ming followed the deputy secretary to a residential compound. There was a banyan tree in the middle of the compound. Under the tree, a group of half-centenarians who were about the same age as the deputy secretary were playing chess.

When these people saw the deputy secretary coming, they all laughed and were very happy. Those who were playing chess just took a look and continued to play, while those who were watching came forward to say hello.

"Company commander, are you here? This kid belongs to you... Hey, he looks familiar." Someone greeted the deputy secretary, looked at Zhao Ming and felt a little familiar, but didn't recognize him.

"Haha, this can't be the illegitimate son of the company commander, right? I don't remember seeing it before, but I also think it looks familiar."

"Yeah, now that you've said that, I feel familiar too."

A group of old people looked at Zhao Ming strangely, and asked the deputy secretary to sit down and rest.

The deputy secretary smiled wryly and shook his head. This group of people are still so unscrupulous, and they like to make fun of him the most.This was embarrassing for Zhao Ming, he smiled apologetically at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "Uncles, Zhao Ming, the younger generation, doesn't have any greetings, here are some fruits to express our affection."

As he said that, Zhao Ming handed the fruit basket to an old woman who took it. After thanking him, he took it elsewhere, probably to wash it up.

"Zhao Ming? That name sounds familiar." An old man put his arms around Zhao Ming's shoulders familiarly, and looked at his face seriously, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The others also frowned slightly, and thought it was familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

On the contrary, the two chess players had already finished their battle. Hearing Zhao Ming's introduction, they couldn't help but wondered: "Old Li, have you got Alzheimer's? Didn't you still talk about the person who invented the fan a few days ago?" ? Isn’t it him?”

The old Li with his arms around Zhao Ming has a very tall head, and Zhao Ming's head of 1.7 meters only reaches his shoulders.At this moment, he glanced at the turning leaf fan placed on the stone table, and suddenly came to his senses and looked at Zhao Ming.

"You are Zhao Ming? You invented the electric fan?" Old Li asked in amazement.

Others also suddenly remembered who this young man is. Isn't this one of the people who has been very popular recently, and they also like to discuss it recently?
Zhao Ming quickly waved his hands and said, "You're joking, I didn't invent the electric fan, but I researched the turning fan and the folder fan."

The old Li patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you invent that? Why are you so hypocritical?"

Zhao Ming smiled wryly, and looked at the deputy secretary for help, but the deputy secretary looked like he was watching a show, and had no intention of offering help at all.

Others also looked at Zhao Ming with strange faces, and some even walked around behind him and patted other parts of his body, as if looking at an alien.

"You all don't have to look at me like that. Although I'm handsome, I'll be shy if you are so enthusiastic." Zhao Ming smiled helplessly.

Everyone was taken aback, and that old Li also laughed, and said, "Okay, apart from hypocrisy, this kid is also very narcissistic. I like it, boy, I like it."

As he said that, he patted Zhao Ming's shoulder fiercely, and the others also stepped forward to pat Zhao Ming's arm or shoulder.

Zhao Ming was almost taken as an idiot. The way these people greet each other is really special, and their hands are very strong. They don't look like ordinary old people at all.

"Don't embarrass Xiao Zhao, he still has a job." The deputy secretary laughed and said, "Now, who will play chess with me?"

Everyone else shook their hands one after another, and the old Li shook his head into waves, saying: "Company commander, who doesn't know that your chess skills have improved after you became an official, and those of us who can make two moves against you The only one left is Lao Zhang who is in the business world. But he is very busy recently and has no time. We will not make embarrassment."

The deputy secretary smiled wryly: "I came all the way here, you won't let me play chess?"

Everyone turned their heads away, and the two people who were playing chess just now also looked away.

In the end, Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary, why don't you let me fight with you?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, and the old Li was still hugging Zhao Ming, and said with a smile: "Don't insult yourself, boy, our company commander's level is a national player, you are not an opponent."

Zhao Mingdao: "It's just for entertainment, there's no need to care about winning or losing. I just want to play with the deputy secretary."

As he said that, he had already sat on a seat, and the others were stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed by Zhao Ming's words.

Seeing that Zhao Ming really dared to challenge him, the deputy secretary also laughed, and was very satisfied with his mentality. The two of them cleared up the chess game and played it again.

The two played Chinese chess, a simple start.

Watching the two play chess, the people around watched with great interest. They really wanted to see the scene where Zhao Ming was abused by the deputy secretary, and they kept saying comforting words to Zhao Ming.

But when the chess game entered the midfield, these people stopped talking, and the deputy secretary was not as relaxed and casual as he was at the beginning. He took every step very cautiously, and kept his eyes on the chessboard.

On the contrary, Zhao Ming is very relaxed and casual, chatting with people around him from time to time.

At the end, the deputy secretary withdrew his hand with a wry smile, and said, "You are really good, I lost."

After saying this, his face was very complicated, a little unwilling, and a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, you're joking, it's just for entertainment, there's no win or loss. Since you didn't leave, then this is a draw." Zhao Ming chuckled without any hint of pride.
