"Master Wang from the Calligraphy Association?"
Hearing that there were still 15 votes outside, Li Fu's expression froze. He squeezed out a smile and slowly walked over.
"And you are?" Wang Heng looked doubtful.
"I'm Li Fu. I have a thin gold calligraphy at home. Master Wang, when are you free, you can go over and admire it.”Li Fu implied.
Skinny gold was a calligraphy font invented by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It was very popular among collectors since ancient times.
"I'll definitely go when I'm free." Wang Heng laughed.
"Haha." Li Fu also laughed and said," Then, Master Wang, who are you going to vote for?”
"It's already been discussed." Wang Heng replied.
Hearing the two of them talking, it seemed that they had already decided on the 15 votes.
Some people who were close to Li Fu were already celebrating.
He already had the lead, and now with another 15 votes, it went without saying that Li Fu would definitely get the first place.
In the crowd, only Gu Yiran and Zhang Qian looked at each other and smiled.
Everything was said without words.
"There's still one minute before the voting ends. The guests of the Calligraphy Association, please make your decision quickly.”
the host urged.
"We're running out of time. Hurry up and vote!”Wang Heng shouted.
The people from the Calligraphy Association immediately bowed their heads and cast their votes.
Li Fu opened his arms and enjoyed the glory of a victor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our voting channel has been closed. This time, a total of 300 votes have all made their choices. Among them, 290 are valid votes and 10 are abstained votes.”
"The one with the highest number of votes is Mr. Gu's Yuan Qinghua, Xiao Heyue, chasing Han Xin and Tu Meiping, with a total of 115 votes!”
The host looked at the votes on the screen in surprise.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your support!”Li Fu stood up, as if he hadn't heard the host's words. He was extremely excited.
The group of guests looked at Li Fu with strange expressions.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Li Fu was also puzzled.
Why didn't these people do anything when he took the top spot? Their gazes were a little strange.
"Ahem!"
A good friend of Li Fu broke the silence and said,""Old Li, look at the screen."
What did he mean?
Li Fu turned around in confusion and looked at the screen.
At this moment, the screen showed the picture of the top antique.
Xiao He, who was painted on the plum vase, seemed to be smiling as he silently mocked Li Fu.
Li Fu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Didn't he have the advantage?
How could he let Meiping get the first place!
Wait, those 15 votes
" Master Wang, your 15 votes!" Li Fu suppressed his anger.
"We voted for Meiping." Wang Heng said lightly.
"It's the thin gold body that we agreed on." Li Fu couldn't believe it.
Wang Heng rolled his eyes and said," I was just being polite with you. I was afraid that you'd be embarrassed. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."”
“......”
Li Fu only felt his vision go black, and blood rushed to his head. His entire body fell straight to the ground.
Fortunately, his friend beside him was quick to react and helped him up in time.
Although Li Fu was fine, the blow he suffered was too great, and he was panting heavily.
"Master Gu is the honorary head of our Calligraphy Association. Who should we vote for?”
Wang Heng sneered.
"You guys are doing favors! This vote should be invalid!" Li Fu squeezed out a voice from between his teeth!
"Aren't you the one who's doing favors?" Wang Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Two people walked out of the Calligraphy Association with red faces. They each held a calligraphy painting in their hands.
These were two paintings by a master craftsman. They weren't worth much, but they were precious enough as gifts.
"Mr. Li, this is the calligraphy and painting you gave us.”The person from the Calligraphy Association said," You didn't do what you asked. Now, it's time to return the thing to you.”
The surrounding gazes became strange.
He didn't expect Li Fu to bribe others in order to get more votes.
Although Gu Yiran had also tried to canvass for votes, everyone still spoke based on their friendship. Whether they voted or not was still up to them. They did not force anyone to do anything.
Bribery, no matter where it happened, was disgusting enough.
All eyes fell on Mr. Li like sharp blades, as if they were stripping him naked and embarrassing him.
"Get lost."
Li Fu pushed away the two friends who were supporting him and ran out of the venue with his face covered.
The two people who were pushed away also looked unhappy.
"What is he doing?"
"I won't help Li Fu again if he encounters such a thing the next time.”
As they watched Li Fu leave in a panic, the crowd burst into laughter.
The emcee was also embarrassed. No matter who was right or wrong, under his leadership, the situation had gone out of control.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet.”The emcee said," There's been a small interlude. Let's get back to the main topic. Let's welcome Mr. Gu, the owner of the plum vase, to give his acceptance speech!”
Gu Yiran walked onto the T-shaped catwalk under the watchful eyes of everyone and walked step by step towards the leader's platform.
The spotlight followed his footsteps.
After arriving at the podium, he briefly interacted with the host and introduced himself. Then, he got to the main topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, thank you for your votes, allowing this plum vase to become the champion.”
"In some ways, you guys have contributed greatly.”
"Then, I'll talk about some questions that some people might be more concerned about.”
"It was quite a coincidence that I obtained this Plum Vase.”
"Although I personally like plum bottles very much, I'm not good at maintaining such cultural relics, so"
Before he could finish speaking, the scene was already in chaos.
Everyone could tell that Gu Yiran's tone had the intention of attacking.
Many people at the scene perked up.
Yuan Porcelain had always been one of the favorite antiques of every collector, not to mention the king of Yuan Porcelain.
It was a collection that could not be missed!
The only porcelain vase in the country, the vase of Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin, was placed in the Jinling Museum. It was impossible for private individuals to get it.
For many years, it had been a sore spot for many collectors.
Now, there seemed to be a chance!
"After discussing with the organizers just now, I've decided to sell this plum vase on the spot and send it to someone who will truly love it!”
