"Pfft!" Du Rongsheng couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Dai Zhengshan coming on the court.
"Ah, do you really have no one to come up with? You actually sent him to participate in the competition. You might as well invite those two vases in the audience. At least they are pleasing to the eyes!"
The two vases he mentioned were undoubtedly Dai Furong and Xiaoxiang. The two women frowned in displeasure after hearing this.
The same thing happened to the looked down upon Dai Zhengshan. He was actually insulted by a younger generation. This was the first time he had experienced such a great humiliation.
"I can wait for your managers to come. They should be more capable, right?"
Du Rongsheng glanced at his watch and said frankly.
"No need!" Dai Zhengshan looked at Du Rongsheng with a gloomy face and refused.
Although some of his subordinates are more capable than him, Du Rongsheng is so generous that people can't help but wonder if he has bribed those people.
Although he suspected those people were bad people, after all, they were all working for him, but it is better to be safe than sorry. He still remembered clearly what happened to Wang Bugai, which reminded him.
And the other party was Du Yuan. If it was Du Yuan, he would not panic. After all, Du Yuan was similar to him, even the previous Du Yuan was not bad in appraising treasures.
But he has been letting his two sons manage the family business for so many years, and they must be very unfamiliar with each other, so it is hard to say who will win or lose.
"This is the Du family's team, led by the head of the Du family, Du Yuan. Following him are his two young and promising sons, Du Rongsheng and Du Yuesheng!"
"The other side is the Dai family's team, led by the head of the Dai family, Dai Zhengshan. The other two are Lin Han, the youngest treasure appraiser appointed by the Treasure Appraisers Association, and Zhang Xiaofeng, the grandson of Mr. Zhang Yongnian from our Hongdu Province!"
“Both sides are heavyweights, so it will definitely be an exciting match, let’s wait and see!”
The host was lost in thought, explaining passionately, and finally looked at the six people in front of him and asked tentatively:
"Have both parties decided on the contestants for the three rounds? Once you've decided, you can't change them!"
This decision is very important, as the order of appearance will affect the outcome. After all, this kind of competition is determined by three games, so the situation of Tian Ji's horse racing may occur.
Inferior horses fight against superior horses, medium horses beat inferior horses, and superior horses beat medium horses.
This way, even if you are generally weaker than your opponent, you can still win.
So you must be cautious, otherwise you may lose because of this even if you can win.
But at this moment, Du Rongsheng suddenly made a suggestion impatiently:
"Let's not play tricks like Tian Ji's horse racing. It's meaningless even if we win. Let's just stick to our grudges. How about that?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Han and others were very confused and did not understand what he meant.
"It's you against me, my dad against Dai Zhengshan, and my brother against Zhang Xiaofeng!" Du Rongsheng has already arranged the opponents for both sides and is just waiting for Lin Han's consent.
And his arrangement did take into account the so-called grudges, although the people in the audience certainly did not know the deeper meaning.
The feud between Lin Han and Du Rongsheng started with the competition in Xidu Province. They have played two games so far, but this was only on the surface. They have also played against each other many times in private.
The grudge between the two grew deeper and deeper.
The grudge between Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaofeng was that Du Yuesheng had someone poison Zhang Yongnian and also killed Zhang Yongnian a few days ago.
It would be unjust if I don't avenge this!
As for Dai Zhengshan and Du Yuan, there is no need to say more. Their two families have been fighting for decades, and the accumulated grievances are countless.
Lin Han lowered his head and thought for a while, then glanced at Zhang Xiaofeng and Dai Zhengshan, seeking their opinions.
If we don't engage in Tian Ji's horse racing, we can indeed save a lot of energy and avoid intrigue and deception.
However, Du Rongsheng must be very confident in their strength when he made such a request. Are they trying to play into Du Rongsheng's hands?
"I agree!" Zhang Xiaofeng had a gloomy face and stared at Du Yuesheng opposite him with murderous eyes.
It would be best if I could compete with Du Yuesheng and take revenge with my own hands!
"I have no objection. I have the best chance of winning against Du Yuan. I probably can't win against the other two."
Dai Zhengshan shrugged and smiled bitterly with helplessness.
"It looks like we have no choice again!"
After hearing their words, Lin Han was helpless. This was probably part of Du Rongsheng's plan. Du Rongsheng knew he had no choice.
"Okay, that's it!" Lin Han looked up at Du Rongsheng and agreed to his request.
Du Rongsheng smiled with satisfaction and looked at the host.
The host immediately understood what he meant and took the microphone to announce the arrangements of the competition to the audience.
"After negotiation between the two parties, the final arrangement is Du Yuan vs. Dai Zhengshan, Du Yuesheng vs. Zhang Xiaofeng, and Du Rongsheng vs. Lin Han! The competition officially begins!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience burst into applause and cheers.
They can't wait any longer!
There was a passage behind the stage, and immediately someone pushed out five glass cabinets covered with black cloth. These were the items needed for the competition.
"So which group will go first in the first game?"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Du Yuan walked forward without saying a word, which meant that he was here, and this did not give Lin Han and the others the right to choose.
After all, Du Yuan's opponent is Dai Zhengshan. If Du Yuan goes on the court, then Dai Zhengshan will go up on their side.
The two of them came to the glass cabinets together, and the staff then lifted the black cloth, showing the contents to everyone.
There are five bronze mirrors with a smooth yellow surface that can reflect blurry human faces. There is a relief of a dragon and a phoenix on the back of the bronze mirrors. The pedestal underneath is made of gold and is inlaid with two red and blue gems as decoration.
“This thing is called the Dragon and Phoenix Mirror. In ancient times, only the royal family was qualified to use it. It is exquisitely crafted and worth at least two million on the market. However, only the authentic ones are worth this price.
Of these five identical dragon and phoenix mirrors, only one is the real thing. Please choose the real one and write it on the paper."
After the host finished the introduction, a staff member handed paper and pen to Dai Zhengshan and Du Yuan.
They then walked around the five dragon and phoenix mirrors and carefully examined them, observing some details that could indicate they were fakes.
Five minutes later, they finalized their answers, wrote them down, and handed them to the staff.
The host takes it, opens it, and starts saying the answers they wrote down.
"First is Mr. Dai's answer, which is the second one from the left. That is the correct answer!"
"And Mr. Du's answer is the fourth one from the left!"
"Then can you two tell me why you chose this answer?"
After the answer was revealed, the host asked curiously, and the people in the audience pricked up their ears and listened quietly.
