Mr. and Mrs. Chi immediately beamed with joy and nodded in approval.
The very next day, Qin Sheng received a gift from Chi Sangsang: a beautifully packaged calligraphy book. Qin Sheng unfolded it and saw that the cursive script was both strong and gentle, unrestrained yet disciplined.
With just one glance, Qin Sheng was certain that the "authentic work" that Chi Yuanyuan and Xie Zhen spoke of was actually just a fine copy from the Tang Dynasty.
Even if it's just a fine copy, considering the size of the calligraphy, the realism of the copy, and its age, its value is over a billion.
Qin Sheng had no other thoughts, only that the tens of millions of compensation he had asked for earlier was still a bit too little.
Given that they've already spent over a billion yuan on calligraphy to seduce her, it's not unreasonable for her to ask for several hundred million yuan, right?
Lost in thought, Qin Sheng had already put the calligraphy copybook away again.
Chi Sangsang couldn't help but ask, "Are you really sure?"
Qin Sheng casually placed the calligraphy copybook aside, nodded her chin, and said confidently in a calm voice, "Don't worry, I'm very steady."
Chi Sangsang: "..."
Okay then.
This calligraphy and painting was given to her by someone from her parents' side, so that she could give it to Qin Sheng.
It is euphemistically called...
Qin Sheng saved her grandfather, did them a great favor, and provided them with a way to get acquainted with the Fu family. They should thank her properly.
In addition, with only ten days left until the Fu family's banquet, they were worried that Qin Sheng wouldn't be able to find a suitable gift, so they specially chose this calligraphy and painting to give to her as a banquet gift.
Normally, Chi Sangsang might have believed their lies.
But first, they stole her phone and sent messages to Qin Sheng in her name, inviting her to their door. Then, they bypassed her and used her relationship with Qin Sheng to chat with Fu Jingheng. In addition, Qin Sheng had warned them earlier.
Even if Chi Sangsang were stupid, she wouldn't fall for their tricks again.
She didn't know what tricks they were up to, nor did she know what Qin Sheng was prepared, but since she had agreed to accompany Qin Sheng, she would absolutely not allow Qin Sheng to be harmed because of her.
She was ready.
Chi Sangsang touched the gift agreement she had just received that morning, a determined light flashing in her bright doe eyes.
Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Chi Sangsang regained her senses.
Knowing that Qin Sheng would be taking the second round of the exam tomorrow if she passed the first round, he didn't linger and left after saying goodbye to her.
Qin Sheng stared at the calligraphy copybook on the table for a while, and finally made a phone call.
Then he took the things and went into the study.
She didn't come out again for more than two hours. She quickly ate lunch and went back to her room for a nap.
While Qin Sheng was sleeping peacefully, chaos had already broken out within the Academic Association.
The first round of marking for the final of the knowledge competition has ended, and now it's time to register the results.
Dong Jingzhang was one of the people responsible for the registration work.
"Lu Shaozhu, 657 points, passed."
"Jin Xiaofang, 423 points, eliminated."
"Fang Shisheng, 589 points, eliminated."
"Cao Leyi, 512 points, eliminated."
"Cheng Changlei, 319 points, eliminated."
"Si Shaoqin, 609 points, passed."
"..."
The teachers in charge of registration were taking turns registering students.
It took him more than two hours to finish registering the scores of the candidates in the ten examination rooms he was in charge of.
Of the 218 people, only 43 passed, less than one-fifth, which shows how high the elimination rate was.
Dong Jingzhang stretched his stiff body slightly and was about to stand up and rest for a while when he suddenly remembered something and looked at the scores of the more than two hundred people on his side again.
The name I was looking for was not found.
He thought for a moment, then looked over at the registration leaders of the other ten groups next to him and said in a loud voice, "Send over the scores you have registered, and I'll compile them here."
By this time, the other groups had almost finished. Upon hearing this, those who had finished sent their work directly, while those who hadn't finished yet sped up their work.
After another twenty minutes, all the data was finally sorted out.
Dong Jingzhang sorted the scores of more than two thousand candidates from highest to lowest and quickly sent them to the academic association's main group before finally looking through the score sheets.
The one in first place is Duanmu Zicheng, with 915 points.
The total score is 1000. Although it is only the first round and the questions will be relatively simple, 915 points is still a very high score.
The members of the academic association couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"As expected of the number one among the younger generation in the association, to be able to achieve a level nine membership at the age of seventeen, Young Master Duanmu's strength is truly genuine."
"Not bad, I've done this test too, and I only got a little over 700 points. I was pretty happy with that, but I never expected that young master Duanmu could get 915. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others!"
"It seems that the young master Duanmu is definitely going to win first place this time."
"How could it not be stable? Why did they change the exam rules at the last minute? Why did they use the assessment model for our association members to assess a group of high school students? I found it strange at first, but now I understand."
The speaker pointed to the ceiling and lowered his voice, saying, "They're paving the way for that guy from the Duanmu family."
"There have been rumors lately that the old chairman is not in good health and may retire soon, right? When that happens, whether the two vice chairmen take over or a new person is found, there will be at least one vacancy, and it will most likely be him."
When this topic comes up, people become hesitant to speak.
However, those who initially found it strange now realized that it must be true.
Duanmu Zicheng joined the association at the age of ten, and it has been more than seven years since then. At the beginning of this year, he was promoted to a level nine member.
Although there is still a Level 10 member above, it should be noted that there are only five Level 10 members in the association at present. Moreover, they are either too old to be suitable for the positions of president and vice president, or they have too little influence and background to command respect.
Therefore, after considering all the options, Duanmu Zicheng, who is a bit young but has excellent qualifications, strength, and background, is still the most suitable candidate.
Everyone's eyes flickered slightly, and they all started making their own calculations.
Dong Jingzhang didn't listen to the conversations of others much; after the ranking was completed, he quickly scanned the grades.
However, unlike others who look from top to bottom, he looks from bottom to top.
The last ten, the last one hundred, the last five hundred, the last one thousand...
But I haven't seen the name I wanted to see yet.
His brow furrowed involuntarily.
At the same time, my heart rate is getting faster and faster.
He suppressed the urge to quickly find the name and patiently continued scrolling up until a certain moment...
Dong Jingzhang's right hand, which was gripping the mouse, tightened suddenly, and his pupils constricted to the extreme at that moment!
