He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 490: [490] I absolutely don’t believe there is such a genius in the world!_1
 

Qian Mu’s words were very simple and easy to understand, such that even those who didn’t know antiquities could understand.

After hearing them, everyone thought his reasoning made sense.

Antiquities, just like Chinese medicine, require extensive experience.

Many illnesses, if you have never even seen them, how can you treat people?

Given Tang Feng’s age, how many antiques could he have possibly seen in total?

To let such a person manage an antique shop, I really don’t know what the owner of that shop was thinking.

Facing Qian Mu’s questioning, Tang Feng did not explain anything.

Because he knew someone would explain for him.

Indeed, as soon as Xi Changling heard Qian Mu disrespect his idol like this, his face immediately darkened.

“Elder Qian, I have great respect for you,, but saying such things about Mr. Tang is a bit too much. Mr. Tang obtained the qualification of advanced appraiser in all categories on his first participation in the appraisers’ competition, and he passed with a 100% accuracy rate,” he said.

“He is also on good terms with Ouyang Yushan. You’ve always heard of Mr. Ouyang Yushan, right? Do you think just anyone could catch Elder Ouyang’s eye?”

“Furthermore, Mr. Tang once faced the challenge of chief appraisers from eighteen antique shops alone and ended up with eighteen battles, eighteen victories, without a single defeat…”

He listed Tang Feng’s illustrious achievements.

Many people at the scene who were not familiar with the antique industry were stunned and speechless.

They had not expected this young man, who had the look of a celebrity, to also be a genuine powerhouse.

Han Xiaoxiao was also excited. She had always thought that Tang Feng wasn’t doing well in Zhonghai.

She never imagined that he had achieved such dazzling victories.

Although she did not know who Ouyang Yushan was, she could also tell from the tone of Mr. Xi, the boss, that he must be a very important person.

Given that Tang Feng could form a connection with such a figure, it showed how well he was doing in Zhonghai.

Compared to him, Sun Haiyang wasn’t even fit to carry his shoes.

In the end, Xi Changling’s gaze fixed on Qian Mu’s face, “The achievements I’ve just mentioned, can you achieve even one of them?”

Qian Mu had not expected Xi Changling to be so rude to him in public, all for the sake of some kid with peach fuzz, and he was suddenly too angry to speak.

“Haha, Mr. Xi, I think you’ve been deceived by this kid. In my opinion, there must be major capital backing him, intentionally packaging him as a genius. As for Ouyang Yushan and the appraisers from those eighteen antique shops, maybe they were bought off and deliberately staged that performance with this kid. In any case, I absolutely do not believe such a prodigy exists in this world!”

He must have been too angry to think clearly to even question Ouyang Yushan.

The people present, even if they were not interested in antiquities, had heard of Ouyang Yushan and knew he was a figure akin to a towering mountain in the cultural world.

And for those in the antique business, Ouyang Yushan was an unquestionable monument.

Qian Mu’s words were undoubtedly like poking a hornet’s nest.

Immediately, many staunch supporters of Ouyang Yushan began to criticize him heavily.

“How dare you question Elder Ouyang? Who do you think you are?”

“Exactly, Elder Ouyang is the most respected elder in the Zhonghai Antique Circle, who are you to doubt him?”

“Haha, I’m dying of laughter. Elder Ouyang has a fortune of several billion, to try to bribe him, how much capital do you think would be necessary? Don’t you use your brain to think?”

“The head appraisers of those eighteen antique shops are already infamous. Who would ruin their reputation for a bit of money?”

“Bought off? I think you’re the one who’s been bought off. Who paid you to come and smear the reputation of our Zhonghai Antique Circle?”

“Old geezer, go crawl back to Yang City…”

The scene immediately erupted into a cacophony of curses.

Initially, people from the antique circle were criticizing Qian Mu to defend Ouyang Yushan and Tang Feng.

Later, it even escalated into a regional conflict between the Yang City Antique Circle and the Zhonghai Antique Circle.

Many people who were oblivious to the truth also joined in the denunciation.

It was as if not cursing out Qian Mu meant you weren’t from Zhonghai.

Ultimately, the momentum at the entrance of the hotel grew more and more powerful, on the verge of evolving from a verbal to a physical fight.

Xi Changling knew he had to step in to quell the anger, otherwise, if these people really started to make a fuss and hurt Qian Mu, he would be in trouble.

But he dared not speak for Qian Mu now.

This guy had already incited public outrage, and anyone who dared to speak for him now would be making an enemy of the entire Zhonghai Antique Circle. He didn’t have the courage, nor the inclination.

He first raised his hand to stop the crowd’s roaring, then looked at Qian Mu with a cold face.

“Mr. Qian, I invited you here today because I valued your abilities and wanted your help in appraising an ancient painting. I did not expect you to judge people by their appearance and say such laughable things. I was wrong about you. Please leave, I don’t want to see you again.”

“What? You… you’re kicking me out?”

Qian Mu’s face turned the color of iron.

When he came, he was grandly invited by Xi Changling.

If he were to leave now in such disgrace, he’d become a joke in the antique circle by tonight, let alone by tomorrow.

“Things have gotten this far, and if you won’t leave, do you expect me to invite you for dinner?” Xi Changling looked at him coldly, “I ask that you leave immediately. If you don’t go now, I’m going to have security throw you out.”

Qian Mu immediately trembled with anger, pointing first at Xi Changling and then at Tang Feng, “You’ve gone too far. My Biqu Pavilion and you are irreconcilable,” he said.

Tang Feng immediately felt very innocent.

By heaven and earth, he hadn’t said a single word from start to finish, with Xi Changling freely speaking on his behalf. What did it have to do with him?

But he didn’t really care about Qian Mu’s threats.

Biqu Pavilion, being in Yang City, could hardly reach Zhonghai, right?

Even if Zhonghai was to march into Yang City someday, what was there to fear from an old man heading for his twilight years?

If he dared to seek death, then Tang Feng would defeat Biqu Pavilion.

Qian Mu huffed and puffed as he made a harsh remark and turned to leave.

No one knows which mischief-maker had actually kicked him on the rear as he departed.

Qian Mu staggered, nearly falling face first, which only deepened his hatred towards Xi Changling and Tang Feng.

In sum, every bit of frustration he experienced was to be blamed on the two of them.
