Chapter 357
Bo Ji didn't expect that the secret he had hidden for so long would be spoken out so bluntly by a child.
"Boy, I advise you not to talk nonsense. Do you know that you are slandering others?" Bo Ji scolded loudly, without a trace of guilt on the surface.
Old Master Zhang sneered, looked at Si Mingye and asked patiently: "Don't be afraid, tell me everything you know."
Si Mingye was just about to speak.
Bo Ji interrupted, his face full of anger, "Grandpa Zhang, we are all adults. Why are we listening to a child's nonsense? He doesn't understand anything."
At this time, Zhang Jingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and spoke for Bo Ji, "Everyone has witnessed Bo Ji's investments over the years. He doesn't know how to appraise, so how did his investments come from? We haven't heard that Bo Ling knows these things."
Zhang Weiming glanced at his granddaughter with helplessness in his eyes.
He stared at his granddaughter and said angrily, "As you said, Bo Ji is capable. Well...if he can identify an antique worth more than 10 million from the many collections on the spot, we will not doubt him."
Before Bo Ji could say anything, Zhang Jingyuan responded, "I agreed on Bo Ji's behalf! Grandpa, this is what you said. As long as he finds another collection worth over ten million, you will invalidate Si Mingye's copied results today."
In this way, the combined value of Bo Ji's three collections is comparable to that of a collection appraised by Si Mingye himself.
I can try again for this first chance.
Zhang Weiming saw that his granddaughter was still favoring Bo Ji and sighed in frustration.
Jin Chaochao took Si Mingye's hand and whispered in his ear, "Go find Bo Ling."
Si Mingye turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
At this moment, Bo Ji was sweating profusely. He originally wanted to cheat and cover up the matter, but Zhang Jingyuan agreed on his behalf.
The little he knew was not enough to show for himself.
If we let him do the appraisal, he will definitely be exposed.
Everyone present looked at Bo Ji.
Jin Chaochao walked forward and said to Mr. Zhang with a smile, "There are at least six or seven valuable authentic works in this exhibition hall that have not been identified. Let's give Young Master Bo an hour to prove himself."
Bo Ji didn't dare to look into Jin Chaochao's eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Jingyuan urged, "You only have one hour, Bo Ji, you have to prove yourself to everyone. I believe in you."
Bo Ji felt nervous and his lips couldn't stop trembling.
He turned around and tried to escape, but he was surrounded by people.
At this time Si Mingye called Bo Ling over.
The moment Bo Ji saw Bo Ling, he immediately had an idea.
He hurriedly walked forward and grabbed Bo Ling's arm, then turned around to explain to everyone: "This is my cousin. I taught him how to appraise treasures. Give him a chance today and let him show his strength."
Si Mingye rolled his eyes in disdain and laughed out loud on the spot, "Tsk, some people don't know how to appraise treasures, but still speak so high-soundingly. Now everyone wants to see your strength, not his."
Bo Ling stood nearby, his hands clasped together, looking very nervous.
Jin Chaochao stepped forward and said to Bo Ling, "Don't be afraid! Just now our child said that he copied your appraisal. I guess your appraisal skills are not bad."
Bo Ling still didn't speak.
Bo Ji glared at Si Mingye angrily.
This kid is really a troublemaker. If he hadn't interfered, he would have won the first place today and become a guest of honor in the Zhang family, with countless benefits in the future.
If everyone knew now, he knew nothing. Then the good image he has worked so hard to build up over the years will completely collapse.
At that time, he will not only become a laughing stock, but he may also lose Zhang Jingyuan, his loyal bootlicker.
Just at this moment, Bo Ji's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and answered it. The next second, his expression changed in pretended shock. "I'm sorry, my mother is sick and in the hospital. I have to go back. What happened today is really unfortunate. Just consider it my loss."
Anyway, the leader is just a little kid, and his loss won’t affect his status in Xiang City.
He had to swallow this anger now.
Bo Ji pushed the crowd away without hesitation and fled.
Mr. Zhang was disappointed with the young man.
When he was caught cheating, he turned around and made an excuse to slip away.
Mrs. Bo's illness happened at the right time...
Zhang Jingyuan didn't expect that Bo Ji would run away at the critical moment.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
They all questioned Bo Ji's ability.
Zhang Weiming sighed, looked at Jin Chaochao and said, "Even if these three collections were appraised by Bo Ji, their total value cannot exceed that of Si Xiaoyou's appraisal. I declare that Si Mingye will win the first prize in this appreciation meeting. He can pick any three pieces from these collections to take home as prizes."
Si Mingye chuckled, "Grandpa Zhang, am I lucky enough to have found a bargain?"
"Hahaha!" Of course it's a bargain.
Not everyone has the opportunity to recognize the original work by feeling.
At this time, Zhang Weiming handed the statistical results to his subordinates to announce.
He then looked at Bo Ling, "Tell me the truth, were you the one who identified the three items in Bo Ji's collection?"
Bo Ling pursed his lips, as if considering whether or not to say it.
Si Mingye stepped forward and looked at Zhang Weiming and said, "I guarantee with my life that all of Bo Ji's collections were appraised by Bo Ling. Bo Ji also threatened him, saying that if he didn't take first place, he would be in trouble."
Zhang Weiming was furious and turned to Zhang Jingyuan and said, "The facts are in front of us. Jingyuan, look at what you like..."
Before he could finish his words, he found that Zhang Jingyuan had disappeared.
Zhang Weiming was so angry that he banged his crutches on the ground.
Jin Chaochao walked up to Bo Ling and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you have been helping Bo Ji appraise treasures for all these years."
Bo Ling hung his head, looking uneasy.
He didn't reply, nor did he look at anyone, as if he was immersed in his own world.
Jin Chaochao could feel that something was wrong with this guy.
Just when Zhang Weiming wanted to ask something else, Bo Ling turned around and left.
Jin Chaochao looked at his hurried back and called Wu Qing over, "Go and see, don't let him get bullied."

Bo family.
When Bo Ji returned home, he was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.
Seeing her son's rage and dejected look, Bo's mother held the tea and asked carefully, "What happened?"
"Something unexpected happened at this appreciation meeting. Not only did I fail to win first place, but I almost got exposed." Bo Ji gritted his teeth, "It's all Bo Ling's fault. Asking him to appraise treasures was giving him a chance. But he actually told our secret to others, not only causing me to lose, but also making me lose face."
Bo's mother patted her son's shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, alright, it's already happened. It's no use getting angry. We'll teach him a lesson when Bo Ling comes back."
"I said before, if I don't get first place in this appreciation meeting, his dog must die!" Bo Ji stood up and looked at the bodyguards next to him, "Go to the warehouse at the back and kill Bo Ling's dog for me. I want to eat dog meat hotpot tonight."
"Understood! Master, don't be angry, we will do it right away."
