Before fate comes - let go of love! Liu Yue now has this idea. She really wants to experience true love. As for what will happen in the future, she doesn't want to think too much. Subconsciously, Liu Yue also has a faint impulse. If Tang Feng can give her enough courage, she will challenge fate.

The future is always unpredictable, and life is wonderful because of this. Tang Feng does not understand Liu Yue's life, but he is definitely unwilling to give up everything he has, including Liu Yue. A life without challenge is sad, and the same is true for success without hard work. Tang Feng will never lack courage. Although the two people's ideas are a bit different, at least the decision is the same now. Don't consider the future results for the time being, and enjoy the process of love wholeheartedly. Tang Feng nodded and said to Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, I understand."

"I won't talk about this anymore." Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "When are you planning to leave?"

Tang Feng said: "The faster the better: when you think about going back, you don't want to stay here for a minute and a half."

Liu Yue handed the peeled apple to Tang Feng and said, "Have you forgotten? You are a serious sick cat now and you can't be so angry."

"You underestimate me too much, a small feeling. A cold will not stump me." Tang Feng lifted the quilt and got up and got out of bed. He walked back and forth for two steps and said to Liu Yue: "Look, aren't I doing nothing now?"

"Okay, I know you can, lie back quickly, don't catch a cold again." Liu Yue pushed Tang Feng back to the bed, and she said, "I will find a way as soon as possible. As long as I book a plane ticket, I will take you to Zhengzhou."

On the morning of the third day, Liu Yue sent Tang Feng to Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport. After saying goodbye, Tang Feng left Zhengzhou and returned to Beijing. Tang Feng felt something was wrong from the taxi from the airport to China Stone. After all the twists and turns, his cold continued to worsen.

In the mist, the groggy Tang Feng walked into China Stone and was fiddling. Chen Yan, who was in the inkstone of the water gall agate, looked up at the listless Tang Feng, and asked strangely: "Tang Feng, why are your face so ugly?"

Tang Feng touched his face strangely and asked Chen Yan: "You can see all this?"

"Nonsense." Chen Yan said: "Look at what you look like now, you are like a plague chicken, or the kind that is about to be braided."

"Tang Feng, why are you back? You don't even notify me? The phone can't be reached." Lin Muyu, who was speaking, just came in from outside.

"Oh." Tang Feng turned around and said to Lin Muyu: "Don't mention it, that damn ancient tomb is a water tomb. I didn't have long before I entered it, and my phone fell into the water and was completely scrapped."

Lin Muyu saw Tang Feng's ugly face, and she asked Tang Feng with concern: "Tang Feng, are you sick?" Then, she walked to Tang Feng and reached out to touch his forehead, and said: "Ah, what's wrong with you so hot?"

"Oh." Tang Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "It's nothing, I just took a cold shower. I got up the next day."

Lin Muyu pulled Tang Feng's clothes and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the hospital."

"Don't!" Tang Feng shook his head quickly, and he said, "In my case, once I enter the hospital, I can't get out, and I will be isolated by them as a patient with avian flu." This isolation made people know when it will come out. Tang Feng has had a lot of things recently. He first accompanied Chen Yan to participate in the Chinese Stone and Jade Carving Grand Prix, and then went to Hong Kong to participate in Christie's Spring Auction.

Lin Muyu certainly knew this, and she asked Tang Feng: "What should I do?"

Tang Feng said: "Buy some medicine and take it. When you go home and sleep, you'll be fine. I'm in good health."

Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Then let's go, I'll take you home now."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Tang Feng, go back and take a good rest and come out in a month."

"You're just going to go to confinement." Tang Feng turned around and said to Chen Yan: "I'll be fine tomorrow."

Lin Muyu sent Tang Feng home. Tang Feng fell on the bed and fell asleep. He slept for more than ten hours. It was the second day when Tang Feng woke up. He only felt dizzy and fever all over. It seemed that the problem was a bit serious. His body was like a credit card. His daily life was overdrawn. Tang Feng's work and rest time was unstable and he had three meals. Now it was time to pay off his debts.

"Tang Feng." Lin Muyu, wearing pajamas, sat next to Tang Feng. She asked Tang Feng: "What do you think now?"

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It's much better."

Lin Muyu asked, "You're hungry, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

Tang Feng said lazily: "I don't want to eat anything, I just want to eat Mu Yu."

"When is it now? You are still joking." Lin Muyu touched Tang Feng's forehead and said, "You are very ill. Are you really not going to the hospital?"

Tang Feng said: "Let's take a break and then see it. It's just a minor problem. It's not a big problem. It's time to go to the hospital if it really doesn't work." Tang Feng was a little puzzled. The tomb had been closed for hundreds of years. There would be no ancient virus inside, right? However, he quickly dispelled this concern. If there was a virus, how could Liu Yue be fine? Could it be that the virus would be different from men and women?

Lin Muyu said, "Okay, but if you feel wrong, you must tell me, don't hide it, do you know?"

Tang Feng gently held Lin Muyu's hand and said, "Muyu, do you think appropriate exercise helps your body recover?"

"You are here again." Lin Muyu shook her head, she covered the quilt with Tang Feng, and said, "You, just lie down for me honestly."

Tang Feng was recuperating at home for seven days, and his body finally returned to normal. At night, as soon as Lin Muyu got to bed, Tang Feng hugged her into his arms. While touching her soft body, he said, "Mu Yu, I miss me so much."

Lin Muyu smiled and fiddled with Tang Feng's chin and said, "Where did you think?"

Tang Feng said seriously: "Of course I thought to myself."

"What about here? Do you think about it?" Lin Muyu and Tang Feng had a normal conversation, and there was another situation inside the quilt. At this moment, Lin Muyu's hand quietly moved between Tang Feng's legs. She was fiddling with the thing while saying to Tang Feng: "Is it very sad? They are all crying." Tang Feng laughed and turned over and pressed towards Lin Muyu. The two of them started making noise on the bed.

The next day, Tang Feng came to China Stone, and the staff in the store were marveling around an inkstone. Chen Yan said proudly: "How is it? Does it feel like it is a gold medal work?"

"Well, then there's more to say that our second brother takes action, that's definitely the first place." Lu Guang nodded and said, "If only the second brother is participating in the competition."

"Stupid boy!" Chen Yan reached out to hit him, but Lu Guang had already run away.

"Let's see." Tang Feng walked to Chen Yan's inkstone for a careful observation, and finally he said, "Well, okay, very good. If you sell it like this, it will definitely be worth 1.8 million and several hundred yuan." This agate was worth 1.8 million before it was processed. Chen Yan tried his best to process it, but it only cost a few hundred yuan. Tang Feng was deliberately stimulating Chen Yan.

"Nonsense, you guys won't appreciate it," Chen Yan immediately put the water gall agate inkstone into a cardboard box. He said: "It's not me that I'm bragging. When I put this thing on the platform of the organizing committee, I will definitely be shocking."

Tang Feng asked Chen Yan: "Will you take it to the competition now?"

Chen Yan nodded and said, "The deadline is coming soon. If you don't hurry up, you can only wait for next year."

Tang Feng then asked Chen Yan: "Have you done market research? Are there any strong players participating this year?"

"This is not necessary to investigate." Chen Yan said affirmatively: "A large number of experts participate in the competition every year. I don't think about them at all. If you are invincible in your heart, you will be invincible in the world."

"Invincible in your heart, you are invincible in the world. Why does this sound so familiar?" Tang Feng patted his head and thought. This was what Jack Ma, chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group, said to Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, can you give some ideas when you call a slogan?"

Chen Yan said: "The loud slogans have been spoken by those celebrities. If you have that meaning, I won't talk nonsense to you. Now I want to take it to the organizing committee, so you can just wait and see the show."

Tang Feng and a group of employees watched Chen Yan hurriedly walk out of the store with the cardboard box in his arms. Lu Guang asked Tang Feng: "Boss, do you think he can pass the test?"

Tang Feng said: "It is definitely no problem to be shortlisted, and winning the award is relatively unlucky. This is not something that the work itself can decide."

From its opening to the present, China Stone's business has been rising steadily, and the highest monthly turnover record is refreshing every month. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Chen Yan's water gallbladder agate color inkstone formed the final circle of the China Stone Carving Grand Prix. After several exhibitions, the inkstone has risen all the way, and finally squeezed into the ninth place in the top ten of the total list. However, the gap with the first place is very large. As the final is approaching, Fan Chengru came to China Stone with his beautiful granddaughter Fan Ziyun.

Tang Feng, who happened to be in the store, saw Fan Chengru coming and hurried out to greet him. He said to Fan Chengru: "Mr. Fan, why are you here? If you have something to say hello, we will go to your house."

Fan Chengru smiled and said, "There is no need to do this now. It's not too late to wait until I'm ninety years old. Actually, I can come alone, Zi Yun insisted on following me."

Fan Ziyun smiled and said to Fan Chengru, "Grandpa, are you so unhappy with me to follow you?"

"Old man, of course I am happy. I have not had a few years to let you accompany you. However, you can't always worry about me so much. This is like reminding me that I am old and I am almost out of reach." Fan Chengru is indeed a respectable old man, and there are few elderly people who are as optimistic and open-minded as he is.

Tang Feng and Fan Ziyun helped Fan Chengru into the office together. After sitting down, Lin Muyu brought fragrant tea to the guests. Tang Feng asked Fan Chengru, "Mr. Fan, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Chengru laughed and said to Tang Feng: "I am not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I am here for the second son's Fang Yantai."

Tang Feng asked Fan Chengru:: Do you always think that inkstone has hope of winning the award?”

Fan Chengru nodded and said, "Agate is a strange stone, and water-bladder agate is even more valuable. Compared with the handicrafts made from other materials, the advantages of natural water-bladder agate are very obvious. Because water-bladder agate is extremely precious, and excellent materials are very rare. Therefore, over the years, there has never been an inkstone carved with water-bladder agate in the Chinese Stone Carving Grand Prix. This is an innate advantage. Moreover, I can also see that the kid really used his heart this time and the carving was very exquisite. This is an acquired advantage. Combining the two advantages, this inkstone is qualified to win the grand prize. Of course, this is purely my personal opinion."

Tang Feng immediately said to Fan Chengru: "Are you still missing something?"

"Tang Feng, your reaction is so fast, oh, this tea is really good." Fan Chengru took a sip of the tea slowly and continued: "I have a problem, that is, I don't like to go around the corners of my words. Many people don't like to deal with me. If other old friends were not gone, and I was old enough to be qualified, they wouldn't invite me to be a judge. Let me tell you this way, there are actually many works that are qualified to win the big prize, but only one piece of them won the big prize. As for best creativity, awards like Best Carving are purely pork, and it doesn't matter."

Tang Feng understood, Fan Chengru came over to reveal the news, and he said, "Please tell me directly."

Fan Chengru sighed long and said, "Whether ugly or unspoken rules, Chinese people talk about human feelings, relying on relationships is factual. We cannot ignore it. If you want to win a big prize, you still need to do some public relations. To put it bluntly, you just need to get money. Otherwise, the colored inkstone of the water gallbladder can only win a comforting award at most, alas." Fan Chengru sighed again, shook his head and said, "This is reality. The only thing I can do is to determine the scope of works that are qualified to win a big prize. In other words, I am sure who they should collect and not who they should collect. In this way, you should understand, it depends on whether you think it is worth it."

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Mr. Fan, I understand what you mean."

Fan Ziyun asked Fan Chengru in a low voice, "Grandpa, this is equivalent to spending money to buy a prize. Is it really so dark?"

Fan Chengru laughed and said, "Do you think this society is as transparent as you report? After a long time, I have been able to see it. I have not lived for nothing in the past few decades. I see everything in my eyes and remember it in my heart. I just don't want to say it out loud. The person who has half his foot stepped into the coffin. The old man can't afford to toss it. I hope it can be corrected in the future."

Fan Chengru was direct, and Tang Feng was no longer hypocritical. He asked Fan Chengru, "What price is it? Is it guaranteed?"

"No, Mr. Tang, are you really planning to spend money?" Fan Ziyun asked Tang Feng. Tang Feng left a good impression on Fan Ziyun. In her opinion, Tang Feng was a very upright person.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "There is no way, it depends on the price now. If it is too expensive, then forget it." In Shangyan, Tang Feng has been involved in business for a day or two, and he knows how to weigh the pros and cons. If Chen Yan can win the grand prize, this will be very beneficial to the management of Chinese stone. No matter what the real situation is, the gold medal in the Chinese Stone Carving Grand Prix is ​​indeed a golden sign that can make Chinese stone a higher level. Of course, if the final result is not worth the loss, then I have to give up. This is just a matter of exchange of interests.

"Well, this is the market every year, the market conditions are different." Fan Chengru thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem with 5 million. Tang Feng, the old man is not here to blackmail, he just tells you the truth and lets you have a secret in your heart so that you can avoid being disappointed."

Tang Feng nodded and said, "You don't have to say that, I can understand." Tang Feng and Chen Yan's motivation for participating in the China Stone Carving Grand Prix was originally not pure, and they were not pure in themselves. Can they still hope that others would be pure?

"Okay!" Tang Feng said without hesitation: "I am willing to pay, Mr. Fan, thank you very much." Across the roads, if Fan Chengru didn't come to remind Tang Feng, Chen Yan's inkstone would definitely not win the grand prize.

"Haha." Fan Chengru laughed and said, "I'm involved in this time. I don't know how many people will call me hypocritical behind my back. Old man, I'll go into the water." Fan Chengru is really good to Tang Feng. He said that this matter is small and big, and he is big. He just goes with the flow. He says that he is big, that means he will not be safe in his later years.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "I really want to thank you."

"I don't need to thank you. To be honest, I have selfish intentions," Fan Chengru said: "Chen Yan is my junior nephew after all, and I hope he can succeed. Then that's it. I'll call you when I need money."

Not long after Tang Feng saw Fan Chengru away, Chen Yan walked into the store. Tang Feng didn't want to hide it and told him the truth.

After hearing this, Chen Yan asked Tang Feng: "It's that simple?"

When Tang Feng saw Chen Yan's calm face, he smiled and said, "I thought you would be furious and scold the streets."

"Tsk." Chen Yan said indifferently: "Do you think I grew up on Mars? I have lived in this country for more than 30 years, so don't you understand these things?"

Tang Feng immediately asked Chen Yan: "Then I'm surprised. Since you knew it before, then you still participated in this competition?"

Chen Yan said: "You can't say it. I really didn't know before. Uncle Master won't tell us this, but just let us work hard, work hard, and work harder."

Tang Feng said: "Why do I think your uncle is a little bad? He knows the truth and makes you work hard."

Chen Yan said seriously: "You don't know Uncle Master. He has actually explained the problem. This proves that my inkstone is qualified to win the big prize. If the inkstone is not good, let alone 5 million, it is impossible to win the big prize even if it is 50,000 yuan. This is called limited fairness. What Uncle Master said about is to make us work hard to get the ranks of qualified sponsorship. Do you understand?"

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It would be great that you can think so. I mean, we should pay the 5 million. The key is up to you. Is it willing to give up?"

Chen Yan couldn't help but frown, and he said, "It's 5 million. These guys are just lions talking. In this way, we will lose a lot."

Tang Feng said: "Actually, we are not at a disadvantage. This is called a win-win situation. The benefits of winning the big prize are definitely more than this 5 million, and this money is worth paying."

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Then let's go. I want to leave a name too. This money is mine."

"You boy, don't think about taking it alone." Tang Feng smiled and said, "It's better to count us. The benefits of winning the big prize to Chinese stone will be greater than the benefits you bring."

Chen Yan said: "Originally, Chinese stone could not afford the 5 million yuan. Your piece of Hetian jade gambling stone has played a big role."

"Yo." Tang Feng said: "If you don't mention it, I forgot, what will happen after the stone is opened?"

Chen Yan could not have thought that Lin Muyu did not tell Tang Feng, and he said: "It is Hetian yellow jade, with good and bad appearance, and it is more than 500 kilograms. Chinese stone will not lack Hetian jade in the short term."

"Hey! This is the best news I have heard these days." Tang Feng nodded proudly and said, "It seems that I am lucky and you are lucky."

"Don't touch me, the key is your vision." Chen Yan looked at Tang Feng seriously, and then asked him mysteriously: "Tang Feng, do you treat me as a friend? Can you think of me to reveal some inside information?"

"Go away, don't do this." Tang Feng said angrily: "If you have something to say and fart, I'm going to get goosebumps all over my body."

"Then I'll ask." Chen Yan asked Tang Feng: "Do you have a trick to betting on stones?"

When Tang Feng waved his hand when he heard Chen Yan ask this, he said, "No."

"How could it be that there is no?" Chen Yan was very dissatisfied with Tang Feng's answer. He then asked, "Then why is your vision so accurate?"

"Accurate, I've missed many times." Seeing Chen Yan's disbelief, Tang Feng said, "I'll ask you, is my gambling stones as accurate as I look at antiques?"

Chen Yan said: "You look at gambling stones and you are really better than watching antiques."

Tang Feng said to Chen Yan: "Let me tell you the truth. The way I see gambling stones is actually similar to how I see antiques, but I am more confident in antiques. You understand."

"I understand a little." Chen Yan nodded. If Tang Feng had any special abilities, there would not be such a big gap between gambling stones and antiques.

Betting stones are formed naturally, and antiques are processed manually. It is much more difficult to see betting stones than to see antiques, so Tang Feng’s grasp is naturally reduced. Tang Feng said: “Unless it is absolutely necessary, I do not want to bet on stones anymore. That is not something humans do.”

Chen Yan agreed with Tang Feng's statement, saying: "Indeed, you can't always count on gambling stones in the jewelry industry, as that's too unsafe."

Tang Feng was full of confidence in the future. He said: "I have been on TV. If you win another grand prize, then our Chinese stone will become famous."

"I hope this is the case." Chen Yan said with a wry smile: "Hey, a prize worth 5 million will make me feel heartbroken when I think of it. In the future, I will get the trophy back and I will stuff it under the bed immediately."

"It's better to put it in the store." Tang Feng said: "It's necessary to show off."

A few days later, Fan Chengru called Tang Feng to report an account, and Tang Feng transferred the 5 million cash he had prepared into this account. Half a month later, the finals and award ceremony of the Chinese Jade Carving and Stone Carving Grand Prix were kicked off at the Beijing International Convention and Exhibition Center.

At six o'clock that night, Chen Yan came to China Stone. Tang Feng looked up and down at him in a suit and tie and said, "It's not bad, I really can't tell. Chen Yan is still pretty in a suit. However, wearing this outfit is not suitable."

"Hmph, the dog cannot spit out ivory from its mouth." Chen Yan said: "The product of national industry is a manifestation of patriotism."

"It's almost time, don't argue with you two." Lin Muyu walked out of the office and said, "It's easy to get traffic jams at this time, so go early."

The award ceremony was very lively, with singing and dancing performances and live TV broadcasts, but the more you watch Tang Feng, the less you feel. Behind this glitzy society where singing and dancing are prosperous, there are still many little-known shady stories, insiders and unspoken rules hidden.

It’s not that reality is too dark, it’s that we think it’s too beautiful.

The emcee of the evening party said our familiar words of praise. Dear guests, the most exciting moment is coming. What we want to announce is the gold medal work of the 2009 Chinese Jade Carving and Stone Carving Grand Prix. Please invite our award presenters below.

Afterwards, the award presenter, the big-bellied chairman, made a debut. After some hypocritical and artificial rhetoric, the pretentious and mysterious and funny winner was announced. The author who won the jade carving gold medal and Chen Yan walked on stage to receive the award. When he delivered his speech on the award, Chen Yan was particularly devoted. Others thought he was moved, but only Tang Feng knew that it was heartache, 5 million.

Of course, the 5 million was not in vain. The next day, pictures of Chen Yan holding a trophy appeared in the TV news and newspapers, and banners were hung with lights and decorations, which was a festive celebration.

When checking out in the evening, Chen Yan asked Lin Muyu, "How is it? Have you seen any money coming back?"

Lin Muyu said: "Where is this fast? Just like Tang Feng was on TV last time, it will take some time to see the results."

Tang Feng also said: "Don't worry, the money is coming back slowly. Our China Stone has established a brand and life will be better in the future."

Tang Feng's still used the old number. The next night, Tang Feng received a call from Liu Yue. She had already returned to Beijing. Tang Feng went to the gate of Zhuji Auction House. Liu Yue's horse-wrangler was waiting for him there. He opened the car door and got in the car. Liu Yue said, "Do you want to know the situation there?"

Tang Feng said: "Can there be any new situation?"

Liu Yue shook her head and said, "It's true that there is no one. Archaeologists have detected the entire underground palace and no major discoveries."

Tang Feng said: "If you really want to dig out the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang next, the Imperial Mausoleum of Song Huizong should have reference significance. From this perspective, you have gained something."

Liu Yue said: "The excavation of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is still in the demonstration stage and will not be carried out in the short term. This matter is too broad and cannot be decided by the archaeological department."

Tang Feng looked at Liu Yue's red cheeks and said dishonestly: "Liu Yue, you have become beautiful."

Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng and asked, "Silly, what do you want to say?"

Tang Feng gently took Liu Yue's hand and said, "To be honest, Liu Yue, I'm really happy to know you." Since both parties have made some clear things, Tang Feng stopped pretending, and he said softly: "Liu Yue, I like you." Of course, the man will not be passive forever. Tang Feng gently hugged Liu Yue's shoulders. He lowered his head slightly and kissed her lips gently, but Liu Yue did not refuse-

Xiaoyue, you are back!
Chapter completed!
