Chapter 313
Everyone was stunned when they saw how Qingfeng and Yanzhi Pei was chatting with familiarity .
"Yanzhi Pei is the richest woman in Hujiang Province . How does she know Qingfeng?"
"Yeah, could it be that Qingfeng lied and managed to obtain Yanzhi Pei’s trust?"
"Yeah, that must be the case . Even though Qingfeng Li is a liar, he is handsome . It is not surprising that he can obtain Yanzhi Pei’s trust . "
The surrounding people discussed animatedly and labeled Qingfeng as a liar .
Under the influence of the newspaper, these people have already believed that Qingfeng was a liar .
Even though they spoke in a low voice, their words were still heard by Yanzhi Pei . She furrowed her brows and a flicker of displeasure appeared in her eyes as she looked at the crowd of people .
This young man was her life savior; how could these people call him a fraud? They even said that he scammed her . What nonsense were they sprouting? Yanzhi Pei was slightly angered .
But through their discussions, Yanzhi Pei has learnt that the name of the young man was Qingfeng Li .
"You are Qingfeng Li? You are the one who Qi Lin is challenging?" Yanzhi Pei asked as her eyes flashed with surprise .
She kenw that Qi Lin had said on the newspaper that Qingfeng was a fraud and that he was going to expose this liar during the Challenge . She was here since she was invited to be a judge in the challenge .
After all, both Blue Light Corporation and Ice Snow Corporation wanted to form a partnership with her . She was the most ideal candidate to be the judge .
"President Pei, my name is Qingfeng Li, but I am not a fraud," Qingfeng said with a smile .
"Yes, I believe you," Yanzhi Pei replied .
Even though it was a single sentence, a strange emotion appeared in Qingfeng’s heart . This woman believed in him .
"Qi Lin, since I am here, can we start the Antique Challenge?" Yanzhi Pei asked Qi Lin .
"Yes, we can begin," Qi Lin said . His face was slightly pale .
From the conversation between Yanzhi Pei and Qingfeng Li, he has learned that they were acquainted . They seemed to have a relationship as well . This made him very uncomfortable .
Both Blue Light Corporation and Ice Snow Corporation wanted to form a partnership with Yanzhi Pei . If Yanzhi Pei had a good relationship with his opponent, he was in danger .
But Qi Lin still had a strategy and that was to defeat Qingfeng during the challenge . If he defeated Qingfeng, Yanzhi Pei would have no choice but to work with his company .
The rules of the competition were very simple . Yanzhi Pei brought out three antiques for Qingfeng and Qi Lin to authenticate . The loser would have to apologize to the winner and give up the partnership with Phoenix Corporation .
There were three judges . The main judge was Yanzhi Pei and the vice-judges were Yunchang Xu and Xinchuan Zhu – the Directors of Eastern Sea City and Western Sea City Antique Association respectively .
No one opposed Yanzhi Pei, Yunchang Xu, Xinchuan Zhu as the judges . They were the most qualified people for the job .
"How do you know Yanzhi Pei?" Xue Lin asked with puzzlement .
One must know that Yanzhi Pei was the richest woman in Hujiang Province . She was not only beautiful, she also had a strong identity and background . How did Qingfeng become acquainted with her?
Faced with Xue Lin’s confusions, Qingfeng said with a smile, "Remember the car accident when we arrived at Western Sea City?"
"Yes, there was a car accident . But how does this relate to you knowing Yanzhi Pei?"
"Yanzhi Pei was involved in the accident . She fainted in the accident . I was the one who rescued her and woke her up . "
"You are saying that you saved Yanzhi Pei just now?"
"Yes," Qingfeng replied with a nod .
Xue Lin’s face became flushed when she heard that Qingfeng had saved Yanzhi Pei . She was excited in her heart .
Yanzhi Pei was the CEO of Phoenix Sky Corporation and the richest woman in Hujiang Province . Qingfeng had just saved her so she must be filled with gratitude .
Therefore, Qingfeng chances of winning the Antique Challenge had increased greatly .
Even the partnership between Ice Snow Corporation and Phoenix Corporation would become much smoother .
Xue Lin glanced approvingly at Qingfeng . She was becoming more satisfied with him as time went by . This man could always surprise her .
This was not the first time . When she or the company faced any crisis, he would always be able to resolve it .
When Qingfeng and Xue Lin were chatting, Yanzhi Pei had walked to the middle of the hall and brought out three pieces of antiques .
The three antiques were: a drawing, a Buddha bracelet and a jade pendant .
"Qi Lin, Qingfeng Li, you guys can authenticate the three pieces . Phoenix Corporation will form a partnership with the winner . "
Just when her words ended, the surrounding people all started looking closely at the table in the middle of the room .
The three pieces of antiques were all precious items . The first was a painting from the Song Dynasty . It was Shi Su’s <Bamboo Painting> . Not everyone might have heard of Shi Su . But everyone must be familiar with his other name, Dongpo Su .
Dongpo Su was one of the Great Eight of the Song Dynasty . He specialized in poetry and painting . He was famous for his drawings of rocks and bamboos .
The second Buddha bracelet was not simple either . It was not a simple mahogany wood bracelet . There were many types of bracelets in the market such as bracelets made of glass, crystal, eaglewood or mahogany .
Even though there were also jade bracelets on the market, but those Buddha bracelets were all of ordinary quality . A real jade bracelet required the testament of time .
For example, the Buddha bracelet that Yanzhi Pei had taken out was a bracelet that Cixi Empress had worn . Of course, the authenticity of the bracelet was unknown .
The third item was a jade pendant . Jade pendants had a special place in the history of antiques . Many emperors, high-ranking concubines and famous people loved to wear jade pendants .
There were many kinds of jade pendant, those that symbolized an emperor’s identity, those that symbolized the identity of a high-ranking concubine and also those that symbolized the identity of famous characters in history .
Jade pendants could be of many colors such as white, green, purple or even red .
The jade pendant that Yanzhi Pei brought out was not white, it was a green jade pendant .
A green jade pendant was a rare sight . In the past, only famous characters would wear a green pendant . The words "Tai bai" were engraved in the pendant .
Anyone who had gone to school would know that "Tai Bai" was the name of the godly poet "Bai Li" . He was the greatest poet in the Tang Dynasty; he was known as the godly poet .
Qingfeng’s eyes lit up . As he would expect of the richest woman in Hujiang Province, the three antiques that Yanzhi Pei brought out were all extraordinary . There was Dongpo Su’s painting, Cixi’s Buddha bracelet and Bai Li’s jade pendant .
The Antique Competition is going to be intense .
