Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Returning Full-Loaded_1

Once the three judges were seated, Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changluo positioned their drawing boards properly to show everyone.

The titles of the three books had already been said in Chinese by Song Yanran, so everyone was naturally aware of the answers.

Displayed on the two drawing boards were three names.

All correct!

This meant that both of them were fluent in three languages!

Song Yanran looked at Bai Xiaosheng incredulously.

Same answers, different characters.

Chen Changluo’s handwriting was quite good, but Bai Xiaosheng’s was surprisingly beautiful!

”What beautiful characters!”

Even Chen Jiutian couldn’t help exclaiming in admiration.

”Yes, beautiful characters!”

”Truly beautiful, what is this script, regular script?”

”You can tell this is practiced, it’s of a high standard!”

Everyone had nothing but praise for Bai Xiaosheng’s handwriting.

”The brushwork is bold and the structure is unique! These characters are all top-notch work!” Chen Jiutian said.

Judging the writing, not the person. He had studied calligraphy himself and truly admired these characters.

With Mr. Chen Jiutian giving such high praise, everyone else was even more lavish in their compliments.

Chen Changluo’s expression became difficult to maintain, and he cleared his throat, ”No matter how good the handwriting is, the answers are what matter. This is a draw, a draw!”

Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

Even Song Yanran’s eyes widened as she stared at Bai Xiaosheng’s writing, her gaze gradually growing obsessed.

Bai Xiaosheng’s proficiency in so many languages and his deep understanding of calligraphy astonished her.

Losing once and then again is embarrassing. Winning once and then again is a crushing victory; the gap is so wide that it commands respect.

At that moment, Song Yanran was beginning to be won over by Bai Xiaosheng.

Zhao Qianze couldn’t contain his excitement.

Next, everyone looked at each item in turn.

Apart from the three judges – Chen Jiutian, Zheng Qinghong, and Chen Changqing – Song Yanran also acted as a consultant.

After all, she was the quizmaster and naturally knew a lot.

Among the ten questions, some had fixed answers, while others tested comprehension and the ability to perceive and feel.

For the fixed answers, both were much the same, completely correct.

However, it was Bai Xiaosheng’s calligraphy that charmed everyone along the way.

Chen Changluo felt even more awkward listening to this.

For the questions without fixed answers, people had differing opinions.

But the general feeling was that Bai Xiaosheng still had the upper hand!

”All right, everyone quiet down,” Chen Jiutian cleared his throat and raised his voice, ”I believe Mr. Bai Xiaosheng is the victor!”

Regardless of the outcome, Bai Xiaosheng had to win in his eyes!

Moreover, given Bai Xiaosheng’s answers, his victory was well-deserved!

”Damn, Uncle, even if he wanted to avoid suspicion and be humble, would let the man named Bai win!”

Chen Changluo’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling as if he had fallen into Bai Xiaosheng’s trap!

”Then let me also announce my conclusion,” Zheng Qinghong quickly followed, ”I believe Mr. Chen Changluo is the victor.”

Zheng Qinghong’s support gave Chen Changluo some relief.

One loss, one win.

It all came down to the last judge now!

Chen Changluo turned his gaze to Chen Changqing’s face.

”I win, it’s me who wins!” Chen Changluo conveyed with his eyes repeatedly.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see that Chen Jiuzheng was standing right behind Chen Changqing, having already given any necessary hints.

Chen Changqing had no intention of supporting him at all!

Let alone the hints from Uncle!

However, before Chen Changqing spoke, he still offered Chen Changluo a warm smile.

This smile eased Chen Changluo’s heart.

”I choose Bai Xiaosheng!” Chen Changqing laughed and spoke directly.

Bai Xiaosheng!

These three words made Zhao Qianze unable to hold back a cheer, which led to a round of applause.

Chen Changluo’s face was filled with disbelief.

”Sorry Brother Chen, you’ve lost!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a chuckle.

Because the result had already been set!

”Impossible, how is my answer worse than his!”

Chen Changluo glared at Chen Changqing, seeing the mockery in his cousin’s eyes, he felt like he had received an unfair treatment, and suddenly yelled, ”This is unfair! Bai Xiaosheng, the judge you chose is biased! I don’t accept this, I want another competition!”

Being unyielding is a good quality, but pettiness in the face of defeat is simply despicable.

Even Song Yanran frowned, unable to help feeling a trace of disdain.

This expression, when caught by Chen Changluo, drove him mad. Song Yanran had encouraged him to compete again, and now she gave him such a look!

Chen Changluo exploded in an instant.

”Mr. Bai, I still want to compete with you!” Chen Changluo kicked over the easel with a single foot.

This startled everyone.

The crowd stared at Chen Changluo as if he were a madman.

”Chen Changluo, watch your behavior!” Chen Jiutian shouted angrily, not wanting any more waves to be made.

With this shout, Chen Changluo calmed down a bit.

He looked around at the disdainful eyes and faced his uncle’s fury, which led him to regain his reason.

”Uncle, no, Mr. Chen... I was just agitated, I should be just as good as him!” Chen Changluo stammered.

”Just as good? Brother Chen, one can refuse to accept defeat, but must have some self-awareness.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at him and spoke slowly.

”If I got someone to make questions, you might not be able to match me at all. I have been forbearing, do you really think you are better than me? If you don’t accept the result, let’s continue competing, until you are convinced. I’d happily play along! But for every round we bet, five million! Are you interested?” Bai Xiaosheng said with overwhelming dominance.

Chen Changluo suddenly deflated.

He dared not bet so recklessly.

In that moment, Bai Xiaosheng’s resoluteness overshadowed Chen Changluo.

This made the people around him unable to help feeling a sense of awe.

”All right, let’s put an end to this matter, everyone return to your seats, the banquet will continue! Whoever causes more trouble is disrespecting me!”

Chen Jiutian walked away, his sleeves fluttering.

Chen Changluo, with a crestfallen face, slouched back to his seat as if wilted by frost.

The rest of the guests returned to their seats, excited.

Zheng Qinghong looked on eagerly, while Zhao Qianze was ecstatic, walking beside Bai Xiaosheng, her face filled with excitement and helplessness.

”Chen Changluo is really useless,” Zheng Qinghong sighed.

”Begin the banquet!”

At Chen Jiutian’s signal, a servant called out.

The banquet started.

Dish after dish was served in succession, bottles of fragrant wine wafted through the air.

With toasting and laughter, the atmosphere was warm, until the banquet gradually came to an end with the high lamps lighting up the night, without further incidents.

After being busy with social engagements, Bai Xiaosheng said his goodbyes and left.

On the car back to Zhongjing, Bai Xiaosheng sat inside and pulled out a check, flicking it.

This money was sent over by Chen Jiutian, including Chen Changluo’s share as well.

Bai Xiaosheng was quite satisfied, ”It feels really good to have money,” he said to himself.

”Yegor’s orchestra was also an unexpected gain, not bad at all!”

”Moreover, on this trip, I intended to see if there were any pets in the Chen family that I could use to showcase the skills I employed back in Tiannan, to have them help me search for some secrets. However, upon reflection, this method seemed too naive. Against an opponent like the Chen family, such methods would probably be ineffective.”

”Luckily, Chen Changluo came to me on his own! Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng probably wanted to use this opportunity to obtain some information from Zhongjing Media.”

Bai Xiaosheng returned the check to his pocket, leaned back comfortably, his eyes barely open, and with the buzz of alcohol, whispered to himself a phrase only he could hear— ”Then, as you wish!”
