Shang Zhengxin was quite satisfied with this result, and so was Chen Bing.

In getting along with others, blindly pursuing victory and showing off one's talents may not be a good thing. On the contrary, appropriately admitting defeat and being humble often lead to better results.

The reason why Chen Bing didn't let Yunxuan do this before was mainly because he saw that the other party was not serious about Go and just treated it as a game like poker.

Shang Zhengxin was obviously different. When he gradually fell into a disadvantage, his expression obviously became worse.

Moreover, through these two games, Chen Bing roughly understood Shang Zhengxin's strength, which was about the same as his level three months ago.

That was enough. There was no need to embarrass him in front of others. This would not benefit him except to make himself feel a little happy.

Chen Bing learned this truth after he passed the civil service exam and worked as a civil servant for several years.

"Uncle, you are awesome. I am no match for you when you are serious." Chen Bing's false compliments were very useful to Shang Zhengxin.

"Yeah, when your uncle was young, he was an amateur 6th dan master." Shang Zhengxin boasted proudly, using the term "your uncle" in his words.

Then, he felt that saying this was not dignified for an adult, so he changed the subject and continued, "Xiao Chen, you are not bad either. You have such strength at such a young age. If you like, you can find me and I will teach you how to play chess."

Chen Bing agreed happily, and then the two played several games in a row.

During the period, Shang Zhengxin guided Chen Bing in a few moves in actual combat and explained some of his own experiences to him. Chen Bing was also very smart and "understood" immediately, and quickly applied it to the next game, and his level was also visibly improving.

This feeling of understanding everything at once is indeed addictive, but it is not Chen Bing who is addicted but Shang Zhengxin.

He is very pleased with Chen Bing's progress, and this feeling is the same as tutoring a very talented student.

He played chess so happily that he almost ignored his daughter.

Shang Yunmiao didn't understand the chess the two men were playing, so she soon felt bored. She looked up and found that her mother had already gone to the side to watch today's legal program. So she moved closer to her mother and watched with her.

When dusk fell and the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the room, Shang Zhengxin rubbed his eyes to relax.

He was a little fascinated by it, and it had been almost two hours so far. Playing chess is a very energy-testing thing. Long-term and high-intensity mental activities can easily make people sleepy.

Both Chen Bing and Shang Zhengxin were a little tired at this time.

They looked up and found that Yunxuan and her daughter had started cooking without knowing when.

The reason why they said mother and daughter was because Shang Yunmiao was also helping.

At a certain moment, Shang Zhengxin was a little dazed. This scene was like traveling through many years, and it seemed that it would be the same when his son-in-law came home in the future.

He rubbed his eyes, threw all the strange thoughts in his mind aside, and then got up and planned to go back to the room to prepare for tomorrow's class.

Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly outside the door.

Shang Zhengxin looked at his wife, because the range hood was running loudly, so she didn't hear it.

So he turned around and went to open the door to see who was coming. The door was half opened, and a young couple appeared outside the door.

He had some impression of these two people. They were the neighbors who had just moved in next door, that is, Chen Bing's parents.

The other party was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that it would be a strange man who came to open the door. But he soon realized that he should be the male owner of the house.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up our child."

Because Shang Zhengxin looked a little serious and rigid, the two of them spoke more seriously.

"Oh, hello. The child is inside now."

Shang Zhengxin said, and opened the door, obviously intending to invite them to sit at home.

Chen Shichao and his wife did not refuse each other's kindness. After thanking them, they entered the house together.

At this time, Yunxuan also heard the noise at the door and came to check. Seeing that the visitors were Liu Yue and her husband, she immediately smiled.

"You are back. Come in and sit down. Our dinner is almost ready. Let's eat together."

Liu Yue originally planned to refuse, but she could not resist the other party's enthusiasm, so she had to agree. After all, it was not good to go to someone else's house empty-handed for dinner, so she returned home and took a bottle of good wine and the dishes packed from the store to prepare for dinner.

Yunxuan smiled and said nothing more. She was quite familiar with Chen Bing's family, so she was not too polite. Shang ZhengXin Ze was a little more enthusiastic because it was the first time he met Chen Shichao and he saw that the wine they brought was expensive, so he felt sorry for it and asked Yunxuan to prepare two more dishes.

After Liu Yue put down the things she brought, she went to the kitchen to help Yunxuan. Chen Shichao sat next to Shang Zhengxin and talked casually. Chen Bing also followed him and listened quietly to the two men chatting.

The slightly awkward atmosphere gradually faded as the cups were exchanged at the dinner table, and Chen Shichao and Shang Zhengxin gradually chatted. Although Chen Shichao was like a big kid at home, he showed a mature, smooth and sophisticated appearance when he went out to deal with people.

As the two men drank a glass of white wine, they also got to know each other better.

Chen Shichao learned that the brother in front of him, who was six years older than him, was already a deputy section-level cadre at the age of 35. He not only worked in the county education bureau, but also served as the director of the political and educational department of Shangping Experimental Middle School. He could be said to be young and promising.

At the same time, Shang Zhengxin also learned that this likable little brother had run a big restaurant in the town at the age of only 30. He had been to that restaurant several times when he attended the student's graduation banquet a few months ago.

It should be said that it was really well run. It seemed that the business was very good, and it was estimated that there would be at least 100,000 yuan in income per month. It was estimated that 40,000 to 50,000 yuan went into his pocket.

Shang Zhengxin was quite envious. Although he was very proud to be a deputy section-level cadre at a young age, his income was really not very good.

He worked diligently, not only serving in the education bureau, but also serving as a senior teacher in the most tiring senior three department. But even so, his income was only 6,000 to 7,000 yuan in 10 years.

Senior teachers can earn a lot of money by giving lectures at off-campus tutoring institutions, but due to his special status, he certainly can't make that kind of extra money.

Therefore, he envied Chen Shichao, who had a better financial situation. At least, he could bring material wealth to his family, but he didn't have that ability.

At this point in the topic, Shang Zhengxin remembered that Chen Bing was very good at Go, so he asked him again: "Your child is very good at Go, did you find someone to teach him?"
