Finally, the two hours were up, and some people had already finished painting early, but Ge Yuling just finished the painting when the time was up.
"It's okay, believe in yourself." Qiao Meng looked at the nervous Ge Yuling and nodded.
"Yes, I know." Ge Yuling responded with confidence.
Immediately afterwards, the host returned to the stage. He announced the end of the first round of competition, and then waited for the results to be announced. There was a half-hour break for the judges to evaluate the two appraisal results and score one painting.
During this half hour, all spectators entering the venue can start voting online to select the pair they think will advance and place bets.
At this time, Qiao Meng took Ge Yuling back to the sidelines where Tianlao and the others were to rest. The two of them were talking and laughing about the sword.
"Xiao Meng, is there no problem? I saw that you guys seemed to be in some trouble on stage just now."
Tian Lao is still quite worried. After all, he is his apprentice, and Ge Yuling is very likely to be his future apprentice wife, so there is no reason to be unconcerned.
Even though this is just a game, the reputation of the two of them is related. If it is not handled well, it may be used by someone who wants to make a big fuss, so we have to be cautious.
"It's okay, Master. I was just a little nervous. It's the first time Sister Yuling has seen such a battle, and she is still a little uncomfortable."
Qiao Meng opened his mouth to explain. He knew that it was better for him to talk about such things. If a girl explained the situation, it would appear that there was some secret hidden between the two of them.
"That's good. In my opinion, you should be very sure that you won't run away this time." Tianlao said very confidently. This confidence also comes from Qiao Meng's strength, which he does not dare to underestimate.
Among the people present, even his own treasure appraisal skills were inferior to Qiao Meng's, let alone the treasure appraisers of the donors in these shops. There is absolutely no chance of any accidents. If there is really someone better than Qiao Meng,
If you were a powerful person, you would have stopped hanging out in places like S City and gone to a bigger family.
Tian Lao is still very clear about this. In the beginning, because his strength was very obvious and he stood out among his peers, he was attracted by all the major families.
In the near future, Qiao Meng will receive the same treatment as he did back then, and even more generous treatment, because he is so dazzling that no one can cover up his light.
It's just that Qiao Meng himself is not interested in these big families. What he wants is not to rely on others to become strong, but that after becoming strong, others want to rely on him.
Not only because he promised Ge Yuling that she would open branches all over the country, but also to set a goal and direction for his life. Without this prescribed route, he was afraid that he would go further and further off the track.
The ability to identify treasures, an ability that transcends anyone else, allows him to easily identify the true and false value of all objects.
Therefore, it is not difficult to achieve all this. All it takes is time and the obstacles that stand in front of it need to be cleared one by one.
The biggest dilemma he faces now is that he may gradually become a pawn in the hands of others, but he has not found out who is behind the scenes. This is a terrible thing. If he cannot know who wants to control him, what will happen next?
Arrangements will be completely disrupted.
"I also think this time is a sure shot. I have great faith in Sister Yuling's skills and will definitely not disappoint everyone." Qiao Meng looked at Ge Yuling and said seriously.
Li Tianyuan happened to look over at this time and saw Qiao Meng looking at Ge Yuling with a tender face. He couldn't be angry anymore, so he couldn't bear it anymore and walked over to Qiao Meng and said: "Xiao Meng, come here, I have
The matter comes to you."
"Oh, Brother Li has something to do with me. Okay, I'll be right back."
When Qiao Meng saw that it was this big shot who wanted to talk to him, he couldn't refuse no matter what. Otherwise, what would you do if someone else didn't help you if something happened? What's more, he had the final say in the entire S city now, and he couldn't please him.
What else can be done.
So Qiao Meng said a few words to a few people and then followed Li Tianyuan to a deserted place in the backcourt.
"I wonder if Brother Li has any important matters that he wants to talk to me about alone?" Qiao Meng asked first.
"Let me ask you, has polygamy been introduced in our country?" Li Tianyuan did not answer Qiao Meng's question directly, but instead asked such an inexplicable question.
"What does Brother Li mean by this?" Qiao Meng expressed that he didn't quite understand. Could it be that he had started studying the national fertility plan?
"Just say yes or no?" Li Tianyuan insisted that Qiao Meng answer this question, otherwise he would not go on.
"No."
Qiao Meng said simply. This is something that everyone knows. I don't know why Li Tianyuan asked such a boring question. He thought he had something important to explain to him.
"If not, why did you openly hug and hug another woman on stage after dating Miao Miao? Do you think you can do whatever you want with Miao Miao not around?" Li Tianyuan finally said the question he wanted to ask.
, directly putting pressure on Qiao Meng.
Originally, Li Tianyuan had a strong aura of a superior person. Even though Qiao Meng had changed a lot during this period, he gradually began to take on the aura of a king.
But after all, he was too young and still had too much to learn, so when he met him he still seemed a little lacking in energy. He was shocked and sweating profusely, thinking that something big might happen to him now.
But this period of time was not in vain, so he said: "Brother Li, you have misunderstood Sister Yuling and I. The reason why we did what we did on the court just now was because we had no choice but to do it. We have our own reasons."
"The reason? Are you getting better and better at making up lies?" Li Tianyuan didn't believe Qiao Meng's argument. He didn't buy this explanation.
"Why don't you believe it? Well, if I explain the whole thing to you, maybe you can understand why this happened just now."
Qiao Meng expressed that he was very helpless and innocent, so he told everything he could about Ge Yuling's family situation, including her psychological barriers.
However, he deliberately hid some details, otherwise the explanation would really be unclear.
"Are you telling the truth?" Li Tianyuan still looked a little doubtful. These stories sounded good, but who knew if Qiao Meng made them up.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can investigate it yourself. I think it won't be difficult for Brother Li to find out this information, right?" Qiao Meng said confidently.
Anyway, what he said is the true situation, and no matter how many investigations are carried out, the results will not change. Sometimes it is more comfortable to tell the truth and do the real thing.
In this way, you can be very confident. No matter what the result is, if others believe it, it will be good. If they don't believe it, you can also provide substantive evidence. You will win, and you will not have much worries no matter what you do.
After much hesitation, Li Tianyuan decided to call and arrange for someone to investigate the file on this matter.
"Don't think that such a provocative method will prevent me from investigating. Let me tell you, if any fraud is found, I will not let you off lightly."
Li Tianyuan has already ordered his subordinates to start investigating. At this speed, it should not take more than five minutes to get the results.
There are still twenty minutes left in the game's break. He is not worried that Qiao Meng will not be able to continue playing due to his own reasons. Anyway, even if the results of this round are announced after the break, there will definitely be enough time.
"Brother Li, you really think too much. I will wait for your results here."
Qiao Meng stood upright and was not afraid of the shadow. Since you said you wanted to investigate, just wait and see who gets slapped in the face. Originally, he wanted to go back first, and then give Li Tianyuan face so that he would not be so embarrassed. Who knows
He is so persistent.
"I won't let you leave without you telling me. It's best to wait here. If it weren't for Miaomiao's sake, I wouldn't give it a chance to explain." Li Tianyuan said very dissatisfied.
This makes Qiao Meng feel a little unhappy. You are very good, with strength and background, but it does not mean that Qiao Meng must listen to you in everything. Such domineering behavior will only make him feel disgusted, and he will eventually become a passerby.
, they won’t be friends in the true sense.
Qiao Meng has already felt that there will be a competition between him and Li Tianyuan sooner or later. However, his strength is not qualified yet, so it has not exploded yet, but it is absolutely impossible to stand together like this in peace in the near future.
.
Maybe this is a sign of strong dialogue.
About five minutes later, Li Tianyuan's arrangements came to fruition. After receiving the feedback, he kept nodding and looking at Qiao Meng.
After hanging up the phone, he said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, I was a little too much just now, but Miaomiao is treated as my biological daughter. I think you can see this, so her
Of course I can't just sit back and ignore things, so I'm a little stricter on you, don't mind."
"No, I know that Brother Li is doing it for Miao Miao's good and for my own good, so he is so anxious to come over to talk. Don't worry, I will never let Miaomiao down." Qiao Meng said with the same smile on his face.
road.
From this point of view, he is already an out-and-out businessman, both in his speech and behavior and in his control of everyone. Needless to say, he is definitely more skillful in controlling himself.
Li Tianyuan was also surprised by Qiao Meng's performance. There had never been a young man who was so brave in front of him. Only now did he really face Qiao Meng.
"Okay, let's all go back. The competition will start later, so try your best." Li Tianyuan encouraged.
"Thank you, Brother Li, for your teaching." Qiao Meng clasped his hands in a gesture of worship, then turned and left.
"This kid is really not simple. No wonder the Yao family can recognize him as replacing the Wan family." Li Tianyuan looked at Qiao Meng's back and thought deeply.
Qiao Meng, who returned to the sidelines, happened to hear the host speak.
