The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 495 - 495 469 Program

495: Chapter 469: Program 495: Chapter 469: Program “After carefully checking the contract and seeing no issues, Liu Hun signed his name.

He Yinghui immediately stood up and started applauding as Liu Hun finished signing, feeling as though all his money had already returned.

“Thank you both for your strong support of the program!

Please be on time!” He Yinghui said to Liu Hun and Bai Qiang with a smile.

Liu Hun didn’t want to say anything more to these two and left with Old Mo.

Once in the car, Liu Hun said to Old Mo, “Old Mo, I’ll need you to prepare for the show!

If there are any issues, give me a call or contact Zhong Xiao, don’t worry about anything else!”

“Master Liu, I understand!

I understand!” Old Mo quickly nodded in agreement.

Gao Yelan hadn’t expected her dissolute fiancé to actually handle the matter so efficiently, which considerably raised her estimation of him, so she increased the program’s promotional budget by three hundred thousand.

Two days later, Jinxin Media provided their largest studio for the ‘Treasure Appraisal’ program and invited numerous media journalists to attend.

“Baby, be serious later, this is not an entertainment program.

Did you memorize all the material I gave you yesterday?” He Yinghui asked while tapping Guo Meiqian’s plump buttocks.

“Stop it!

You kept bothering me last night, how could I have had the time?!” Guo Meiqian coquettishly twisted her plump buttocks and complained.

“Alright, alright!

If you haven’t memorized it, just wear the earpiece, speak less, and follow the director’s instructions!” He Yinghui put the earpiece on Guo Meiqian, knowing that the program was just a façade intended to win against Liu Hun and promote his antique company for easier sale of goods in the future.

“Ding ding ding!

Ding ding ding!”

“Mr.

He!

The show is about to start!” Director Chen Beixu ran over and told He Yinghui.

“Alright, alright, get on stage!

Hurry!” He Yinghui hurriedly pushed Guo Meiqian onto the stage, feeling that television production really wasn’t his thing.

“Welcome everyone to the ‘Treasure Appraisal’ show, today is the premiere episode…” Guo Meiqian started speaking to the camera with a smile.

“After introducing the rules of our folk’s triple bet, let’s welcome today’s guests!

General Manager Mr.

Bai Qiang and Deputy General Manager Mr.

Ding Shan of Jin Cheng Antique Collection Company and the senior antique appraisal expert Mr.

Ji Yun!

Welcome!” Guo Meiqian introduced Bai Qiang’s party to the television camera, then introduced the two people from Liu Hun’s party.

“Liu the manager is amazing indeed!

He even owns his own antique company.

It’s incredible how talented he is in everything!

I heard just a few days ago he also participated in a car race and won an Aston Martin sports car!”

“That’s true!

My buddy who covers car news told me, and Shi Qing’er was even at the scene!

But they are all so dull, only knowing about cars, which wasted a good interview opportunity!”

“Today he’s really up against professional-level players.

I’ve heard that Jin Cheng Antique Collection Company has had a shop on Laopai Fang Street for many years!

Liu the manager’s Qing’er has only been around for six months, so I guess Liu the manager might be losing his footing this time!”

“…”

Listening to the reporters’ various discussions, He Yinghui couldn’t help but secretly smile.

Today, he could only allow himself to succeed, he couldn’t allow any failure.

“Big Yellow, there shouldn’t be any problem with Bai Qiang and Ding Shan today, right?” He Yinghui asked his subordinate next to him.

“Mr.

He, you can be totally relaxed!

Guaranteed no problems, this batch of goods are newly unearthed rare treasures!

In this world, apart from ghosts, no one has seen them!

How could Liu Hun and his group possibly identify them!

Plus, the final round is especially cunning!

It will surely make Liu Huyi spit out everything he’s got!” Big Yellow assured He Yinghui confidently.

“That would be best!” He Yinghui cast his gaze towards the stage; this batch of goods was precious to him, he couldn’t bear any failure.

“Today, we have five experts from the Forbidden City Museum here, welcome!” After introducing the judging panel, Guo Meiqian officially announced the start of the triple bet.

“The first round—stone gambling.

Please welcome Mr.

Ding Shan, Deputy General Manager of Jin Cheng Antique Collection Company!” Guo Meiqian said, stepping aside to make room on the stage.

Ding Shan smiled as his assistants carried up a table and then placed three stones on it, saying, “Mr.

Liu, Shopkeeper Mo!

Last time, I, Wang, was not convinced by my loss!

Here I am again!” Ding Shan clapped each of the three stones in turn and said, “The way to play the first round is clearly written in the contract, each of the three stones has a window opened on it showing some green.

You must choose the one with the most and best jade.

It’s up to you two now!

Please!” After finishing, Ding Shan gestured invitingly to Liu Hun then returned to his seat.

Liu Hun walked up to the table and examined the three stones in turn, each had a hole the size of a broad bean, and you could see the green inside, meaning all three could produce jade.

But which one had the best and most jade was the question.

“This stone with a window is not easy to guess, who knows if it’s just that tiny green bit or if all the green is below?

Old Zhang, what do you think?”

“Hmm, guessing how much jade there is isn’t the hardest, the hardest part is that all three stones could potentially have a lot of jade, to guess which has the most and the best, that is difficult.

I’ve been at the Forbidden City Museum for so many years, if you gave me this question, tsk tsk… I would not be confident either.”

“These characters are all formidable indeed, as they say, true masters are found among the common folks.

I often go to Laopai Fang Street and have heard them talk about the triple bets three times, it was fascinating, today should be no different!”

The experts from the Forbidden City Museum heatedly discussed among themselves.

Liu Hun touched the three stones one by one with his hands, then pointed at the jade stone on the far left, saying, “I choose this one!”

He Yinghui quickly asked the person beside him, Da Huang, “How did he do?

Did he guess right?”

Da Huang smirked and said, “He guessed wrong!

The best one is the one in the middle—the one Ding mentioned that had speckles!”

He Yinghui nodded with a smile, a sense of relief settling in his heart.

“Great!” Ding Shan exclaimed as he stood up, walked over to Liu Hun, and whispered, “Liu Hun, one’s luck can’t last forever!

This time, you’ve lost.”

“Is that so?

Then let’s just wait and see,” Liu Hun simply replied.

“Cough cough…” Clearing his throat, Ding Shan loudly said, “Now that Mr.

Liu has guessed, it’s Mr.

Liu’s turn to set the question!”

Liu Hun returned to his seat; Mo Laotian immediately stood up and had someone move the three rocks he had brought onto the table.

“This…” Ding Shan was stunned upon seeing them!

The three rocks placed on the coffee table all had holes bored through them, thoroughly perforated.

“Excellent question!

Liu Hun really knows how to use his brain!

You leave me a skylight, I’ll give you a chilling heart!

These are truly the most challenging questions!

How will Ding Shan break through this one?”

“These rocks are indeed hard to find; all three must have green, but the green must not show through the middle where they are penetrated!

Guessing which piece of jade contains the most and best quality is really not easy.”

“How come I feel all three rocks just look like ordinary river stones?

Just looking at them, I don’t really think there’s any jade inside these rocks!

Could Liu Hun be trying to pull a fast one?”

“…”

Several experts immediately started discussing the rocks Liu Hun had set out, each voicing their opinions.

Ding Shan was momentarily stunned.

Although the three rocks were bizarre, the bet still had to continue, so he immediately called Bai Qiang to his side and asked, “Mr.

Bai, what do you think of these three rocks?”

Bai Qiang did not answer right away but instead went over to the rocks, closely examining them for a good while before frowning and returning to Ding Shan’s side to say, “Manager Ding, do you remember the rock from which we last extracted Chicken Heart Red Jade?”

At the mention of the Chicken Heart Red Jade, Ding Shan’s eyes immediately lit up, “Such a treasure, I would never forget it!”

“The three rocks in front of us now all look like river stones, exactly like the ones we last extracted Chicken Heart Red Jade from,” Bai Qiang told Ding Shan, having never encountered so many peculiar circumstances in his years of studying antiques.

Frowning in thought, Ding Shan finally said, “You choose, since Mr.

Liu also didn’t choose right.

At worst, we’ll end in a draw!”

Encouraged by Ding Shan’s words, Bai Qiang boldly studied a little longer before picking the one on the far right.

At this moment, Guo Meiqian stepped forward, “Now that both guests have made their choices…

it’s time for the rock cutting and jade extraction segment, the most exciting and thrilling part!

According to the rules of the competition, all six stones must contain jade, and the one with the most and best quality jade wins!”

The stone-cutting machine was carried in by several people as everyone watched with bated breath, waiting for the rock cutting and jade extraction.

“Which stone would you two like to start with?” Guo Meiqian asked Liu Hun and Ding Shan.

“Start with his!” Ding Shan preempted, knowing Liu Hun had chosen incorrectly; as long as Bai Qiang guessed this round correctly, he would win.

He was eager to know the answer.

“Mr.

Liu?” Guo Meiqian sought Liu Hun’s opinion.

“No problem!” Liu Hun responded crisply.

“Let’s find out…

Did Mr.

Ding make the right choice?!

Please stay tuned!” Guo Meiqian said, and immediately had the workers place the stone Bai Qiang had chosen on the cutting machine.

Liu Hun stood aside, touched the stone, looked at it, and nodded to the cutter.

Meanwhile, Ding Shan watched the whole process intently, wary of any trickery by Liu Hun.

“Squeak squeak squeak…” The huge cutting blade slowly moved downward.

Because the stone was perforated in the middle, they had to cut little by little to avoid damaging the jade inside.

“Crack!” A piece of the stone’s outer layer was cut off, Ding Shan, more anxious than Liu Hun, rushed forward—nothing!

Just a white grayness.

Nothing at all!

“This can’t be!

Impossible!

Cut more!

Keep cutting!” Ding Shan loudly directed the cutter.

The cutter glanced at Liu Hun, who nodded, allowing him to continue cutting.

“Squeak squeak squeak…” The grating sound of cutting filled the entire studio, the noise being tremendous, but no one minded that.

“Crack!” The cutting machine hadn’t even reached halfway through when the entire rock suddenly split apart!
