He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 443: In my eyes, you count for nothing_1
 

“This is impossible, how could this be possible, you’re cheating…”

Zhao Quande became irate when he saw Tang Feng’s answer, frantically flipping through the booklet.

He suspected that Tang Feng had written two answers in the booklet, and Zhong Pan’er had colluded with him to cheat.

After each round of the competition ended, the previous answers were torn out.

Therefore, on Tang Feng’s booklet, there were only words written on this page, all other pages were completely blank.

The fact proved that Tang Feng indeed only wrote one answer.

Zhao Quande fell to the ground with a thud.

If both their answers were the same, then the appraisal time would be used as the basis for judgment.

And Tang Feng’s appraisal time was much faster than his.

Then the result…had no suspense.

He lost, completely lost!

They, eighteen senior appraisers, were easily thrashed by a young man.

After this incident, a giant star in the antique circle would inevitably rise.

And these eighteen people would become stepping stones, clowns, and jokes on the way to the giant star’s pinnacle…

“No…”

Zhao Quande shouted loudly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Tang Feng, “You clearly said just now that this porcelain cup was a fake, how could you possibly answer correctly? You must be cheating.”

When Tang Feng heard his accusation, he couldn’t help but sneer, “Mr. Zhao, when you answer correctly, it’s reasonable, but when someone else does it’s cheating? I thought you were just incompetent, but now it seems your mind is also very narrow. A person like you dares to claim to be the number one appraiser on Antique Street?”

“You…”

Zhao Quande was suddenly at a loss for words.

At this moment, Zhong Pan’er also spoke up, “Although I’m a junior, I believe losing a competition is not the end of the world, but one must not lose their integrity. With so many eyes watching here, how could anyone cheat under such scrutiny?”

The crowd of onlookers also echoed.

“That’s right, with so many of us watching, who would dare to cheat here?”

“Haha, blaming others for cheating after losing, is this the conduct of the top appraiser on Antique Street?”

“I think he just can’t handle defeat. What ‘number one appraiser on Antique Street’? More like the number one loser!”

“Mr. Tang, we all support you. If anyone dares to play dirty, we will not stand for it.”

“That’s right, we won’t agree…”

The crowd shouted loudly, cheering for Tang Feng with a momentum that shook the heavens.

Zhao Quande’s face had turned deathly pale, standing there dumbfounded, at a loss.

After the crowd’s shouts subsided, Zhong Pan’er then loudly announced the results of the competition, “In this round, both parties gave the same answer, but Mr. Tang’s time was shorter. Therefore, in this round, Tang Feng from Elegant Pavilion—wins!”

“Good…”

Cheers like a tidal wave immediately erupted from the venue.

Tang Feng’s performance today could only be described as a slaughter.

Facing the successive battles against eighteen senior appraisers, he maintained an unbeaten record, winning eighteen consecutive matches and achieving total victory.

This record, compared to the results he achieved in the appraisers’ assessment competition, was even more dazzling.

Keep in mind, the eighteen appraisers today were the chief appraisers from major antique shops, all long-established seniors within the Zhonghai Antique Circle.

Yet today, they were easily crushed by a young man just starting out.

Once this incident spreads through the mouths of numerous colleagues and customers, Tang Feng’s reputation would soar.

And these eighteen appraisers would merely be footnotes for the former.

At this moment, all eighteen hung their heads low, as if they were mourning the dead.

If they had known Tang Feng’s strength was so formidable, they would have never come to join in the bustle.

Now they had not only failed to dampen the spirit of the Elegant Pavilion, but they had also shot themselves in the foot.

After today’s battle, the eighteen appraisers’ reputations would be tarnished, becoming the laughingstock of the antique world.

Especially Zhao Quande, who had promised to completely withdraw from the antique world, effectively severing his own future.

Tang Feng waited until the cheering around him died down a little before he smiled and looked at Zhao Quande, “Mr. Zhao, is your earlier promise still valid?”

“I…”

Zhao Quande panicked immediately.

He had impulsively upped the wager because he was certain he would win this round.

He had never considered the possibility of losing.

Now, to be asked to honor his promise and leave the antique business that he had painstakingly built over a lifetime, that was more painful to him than death.

At this moment, Pei Tianyuan, who had been enjoying the show from the sidelines, volunteered to intervene as a mediator, “Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhao was just joking, let’s not take it too seriously, shall we?”

“We are all colleagues in the antique business; we need to see each other on a regular basis. There is no need to be so absolute.”

He thought that he had some rapport with Tang Feng and that the latter would give him face.

In doing so, he not only could rub off some of Elegant Pavilion’s popularity but could also put Zhao Quande in his debt. Why not do it?

But Tang Feng didn’t give him any face and just glanced at him coldly, “He was joking, but I’m serious.”

“If I had lost this round, I would fulfill the promise and leave the antique circle forever.”

Seeing that Tang Feng was not giving him any face, Pei Tianyuan was somewhat displeased, “Mr. Tang, as someone who has been there, I’ll give you a piece of advice. To do business for the long-term, not only do you need solid skills, but you also need a generous heart. It’s good to leave some leeway for oneself, for future meetings. I advise you to be more magnanimous…”

“Psh!”

Tang Feng showed his contempt, pointed at his nose, and cursed, “Your magnanimity be damned! Where were you when he just proposed this bet? Now coming out to play the good guy? What are you even worth? Get lost!”

Pei Tianyuan hadn’t expected Tang Feng to suddenly explode, and his face turned from red to white, “You… why are you cursing at people?”

“I’m cursing at you, I worked hard to win this competition, and you pop out to play the good guy? What are you even worth?”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, wanting to ride my coattails, do you even qualify?”

“If you have the guts, come on and compete with me. If you can win, whatever you say goes. But if you don’t have the skills, don’t you dare come here with that smug face pretending to be innocent. In front of me, you’re nothing…”
