Li Baoping topped the list with undisputed results. Ma Jian, who was originally the least promising among the five, caught a piece of shit luck and came from behind to rank second.
Lu Tianming, who had the loudest voice, immediately stumbled and fell directly to the third position. In the entire competition, Chen Ran, who had appeared like a dark horse by miracle, also fell behind and could only be tied for third place with Lu Tianming.
At this moment of the competition, the result is no longer in suspense. All the spectators are waiting to leave after the competition ends. After all, a lot of time has been delayed during the competition. Although the whole competition is very exciting, at this point
By that time, they were already hungry, and many people were waiting for the competition to end and hurried to fill their stomachs.
"Time flies so fast. It's already noon in the blink of an eye. I wonder if anyone has invited me to dinner!" Professor Xie raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Professor Xie made a joke with a smile, which immediately annoyed the whole audience.
He laughed endlessly. After laughing, Professor Xie waved his hand: "The world is huge, and eating is the biggest. It would be a sin if it delayed everyone's eating time. I will announce the result now! Well, by the way, there is one more thing.
Well, after the competition is over, an exhibition hall will be set up in the venue. Friends who are interested in jade can visit it according to the order. These jade objects are all props in the competition. The last few die-cast pieces are among the best in the jade collection circle.
They are all famous!”
After hearing what Professor Xie said, many people immediately became interested, especially some students. For them, this was a rare opportunity.
After a few more jokes, Professor Xie coughed lightly, put the microphone to his mouth, and opened his mouth to announce the result. But the moment he opened his mouth, an old voice suddenly came into the venue: "Wait a minute!"
Although the old voice was not loud, the venue happened to be very quiet at this time. As soon as the voice rang out, everyone couldn't help but look towards the backstage entrance of the venue.
"It's Mr. Shi!"
As soon as they saw a group of people coming in at the entrance, some sharp-eyed collectors in the collecting circle couldn't help but stand up and looked at the visitors with surprised faces. Other spectators who hadn't paid attention at first also stood up and looked.
In the past, except for a small number of people in the audience who were not in the collection circle, most of the others were in the collection circle, and as long as they were in the collection circle, there was almost no one who did not know about Dongdu Stone.
Mr. Wang Shi is such a big figure.
Even though some people had never met Mr. Shi, they all stood up when they heard this shout. As a result, the entire venue stood up wave after wave like the waves of the sea.
When the judges who were still sitting on the judges' bench saw Mr. Shi's arrival, they all stood up, left the judges' bench, and went to greet him.
Although these judges have different identities, some have retired from officialdom, some are from shopping malls, and some from other walks of life, when they see Mr. Shi, they still have to call him Mr. Shi.
In the collecting circle, for them, Mr. Shi is their predecessor and the signature of the collecting circle in Central Plains Province.
"Old Shi, what kind of wind brings you here?"
After the judges left the judges' table and met Mr. Shi, Mr. Wang smiled in surprise and strangeness. Others were also surprised. You must know that Mr. Shi is now very old and has not attended since his eightieth birthday last year.
I have been to such public occasions, and it is said that I have been retiring in the capital, but I didn't expect that I would come here in person now. It is really strange.
Only Old Man Wang was thinking, could it be because he learned that I borrowed your chicken heart pendant with phoenix pattern, so he came to ask me to take it back? Although you treasure this thing, it's not like this, it's not like I didn't have it before.
Borrowed.
Although Mr. Shi has reached an advanced age, he does not look old. He is wearing a clean Tang suit and has gray hair. He looks energetic. Despite this, there is still a middle-aged man who is carefully supporting him.
She was holding him, followed by several people who were guarding him carefully, as if they were afraid that Mr. Shi would fall.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Mr. Shi glared at the middle-aged man who was supporting him, and then glanced at Old Wang angrily: "Xiao Wang, wait a minute, I'll settle the score with you again!" After saying that, he turned to look at Xie again.
The microphone in the professor's hand: "Give me the microphone first!"
Old Man Wang was reprimanded on the spot by Mr. Shi, but he did not dare to get angry at all. When he was young, Mr. Shi always took care of him as a nephew. He smiled coquettishly and handed a hand to the middle-aged man who was supporting Mr. Shi.
He gave me a puzzled look, as if to say, what on earth is going on?
The middle-aged man is Mr. Shi’s youngest son and the current owner of the Strange Stone Museum, Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Just yesterday, the old man said that he missed his granddaughter and was going back to Zhongdu for two days. This morning, the old man was sent to the capital.
He went to the airport in Zhongdu to pick him up.
After picking up Mr. Shi, he drove back to pick up his son, who was attending college in Zhongdu, to stay with the old man for two days.
On the way, he told the old man about lending out the chicken heart pendant with phoenix pattern. He had always kept this secret from the old man. Now that the old man suddenly came back, he had no choice but to talk about it. After all, the old man was very interested in this pair of dragons and phoenixes.
Very precious.
But he didn't take it seriously, because he had borrowed this phoenix-patterned chicken heart pendant before, especially Old Man Wang, who was a frequent buyer of jade.
It is strange to say that the old man only borrows the chicken heart pendant with the phoenix pattern every time, but never the chicken heart pendant with the dragon pattern. Knowing this, he did not dare to lend the chicken heart pendant with the dragon pattern to Wang.
Old man's chicken heart pendant with phoenix pattern.
When the old man heard this, he didn't have any reaction at first. He just said he could borrow it and borrowed it. However, when he heard that Old Man Wang was borrowing the jade to hold a jade carving competition, he immediately became interested.
The contest was broadcast live, and could be broadcast live on three TV stations and nine TV stations in the Central Plains. When the old man came and was interested in watching, he opened the notebook he brought with him and showed it to him.
It was nothing at first, but when the old man's collection of chicken heart pendants with phoenix patterns were shown live, the old man was emotionally unstable, laughing and angry at the same time, which shocked him, especially at the end.
What happened? He even got angry and scolded him by the way.
After the scolding, the old man was in a bad mood. At this time, he happened to drive by the Provincial Gymnasium. When the old man saw the Provincial Gymnasium, he seemed to have made a major decision and asked him to drive to the gymnasium immediately.
, and then broke in just before the competition was about to end.
Mr. Shi asked for a microphone, but Professor Xie didn't dare to neglect him, so he quickly handed over the microphone.
After waving his hands, Mr. Shi and Mr. Wang, the judges, were all dispersed. Mr. Shi walked directly to the high platform of the venue. While waving his hands, he took the microphone and said loudly: "Everyone, please sit down. It's really not good."
Sorry, I wasted everyone's time by being such a bad guy!"
As soon as he said this, everyone said: "You're welcome, Mr. Shi!" However, no one sat down. It was not until Mr. Shi waved his hand again, indicating that everyone should sit down, that they all slowly sat down.
When they came down, they looked at Mr. Shi with a hint of doubt, and they all wondered what happened that had alarmed Mr. Shi.
"Young man, what's your name?"
To everyone's surprise, after everyone calmed down, Mr. Shi suddenly looked at Chen Ran who was standing under the high platform.
Seeing this scene, everyone was immediately shocked. Could it be that Mr. Shi found out that Contestant No. 128 claimed that his baby was a fake, so he got angry and came to trouble Contestant No. 128?
Although this idea is a bit absurd, it is quite normal when applied to Mr. Shi. Those in the collecting circle basically know about Mr. Shi’s fiery temper. Mr. Shi once owned a Xuande furnace, and some people said it was fake.
Mr. Shi went straight to the person's door and argued with him, forcing the other person to become speechless.
This is also the reason why when Chen Ran said that Mr. Shi's chicken heart pendant with phoenix pattern was a high imitation, someone would shout that it would be strange if Mr. Shi knew that he didn't want to eat it.
Compared to the shock of others, Chen Ran acted very calmly. When he heard the old man's question, he replied calmly: "Chen Ran!"
"Chen Ran..."
After reciting silently, Mr. Shi stared at Chen Ran with sharp eyes: "Very good! I remember your name!"
As soon as Mr. Shi's words came out, people became more sure that Mr. Shi was here to trouble Chen Ran. Many people couldn't help but laugh secretly. You dare to call Mr. Shi's treasure a fake. Now it's troublesome.
Come on.
Lu Tianming and Ma Jian were both gloating over the misfortune. They both looked at Chen Ran with sneers on their faces, preparing to see what Mr. Shi would do next to prevent Chen Ran from coming to power.
However, Professor Xie and some of the judges who had a good impression of Chen Ran couldn't help but frown. In their eyes, although Chen Ran had a hairless mouth, he was young after all, and it was understandable for him to make such a mistake.
Yes, it would be too much to prevent him from coming to power if he was caught in this situation. Thinking of this, the idea of begging for Chen Ran came to mind.
However, this idea only flashed through their minds. With Mr. Shi's fiery temper, if they spoke like this, they might get angry. And if they were entangled by Mr. Shi, it would at least be a long time.
Time was running out. Thinking of this, they quickly gave up the idea of interceding for Chen Ran and could only pray secretly, hoping that Mr. Shi would not be so angry.
Yan Ruyu also frowned. She had already thought about it. Wait a minute, if Mr. Shi makes things difficult for Chen Ran, she would ask for Chen Ran's favor.
[Hey, even if I can’t adjust to this schedule, there’s still one chapter left for the party.]
