Before fate comes, let go and love! This is the kind of thinking that Liu Yue is now, she really wants to experience a real love, as for what the future holds, she doesn't want to think too much. Subconsciously, Liu Yue also had a faint urge that if Tang Feng could give her enough courage, she would challenge fate.

The future is always unpredictable, and life is wonderful because of it, Tang Feng doesn't know Liu Yue's life, but he is definitely not willing to give up everything he has, including Liu Yue. Life without challenges is sad, and the same is true for success without struggle, Tang Feng will never lack courage. Although the two people's ideas are a little different, at least the decision for now is the same, don't think about the future results for the time being, and enjoy the process of falling in love wholeheartedly. Tang Feng nodded and said to Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, I understand. ”

"Don't talk about that. Liu Yue asked Tang Fengdao, "When are you going to leave?"

Tang Feng said: "The sooner the better: I don't want to stay here for a minute and a half more at the thought of going back." ”

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

"You underestimate me too much, and a little feeling is not too bad to stump me. Tang Feng lifted the quilt and got up to get out of bed, he walked back and forth for two steps and then said to Liu Yue: "Look, don't I have nothing to do now?"

"Okay, I know you can do it, lie down and go back, 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 ticket, I will send you to Zhengzhou." ”

On the morning of the third day, Liu Yue sent Tang Feng to Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport, and after saying goodbye, Tang Feng left Zhengzhou and returned to Beijing. On the taxi from the airport to China Shi, Tang Feng felt that something was wrong, and after this tossing and turning, his cold was getting worse.

In the clouds and fog, the drowsy Tang Feng walked into the Chinese stone and was tinkering.Chen Yan, who was on the water urchin agate inkstone, raised his head and looked at the depressed Tang Feng, and asked strangely: "Tang Feng, why is your face so ugly?"

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

"Nonsense. Chen Yan said: "Look at your current appearance, you are like a plague chicken, or the kind that is about to be braided." ”

"Tang Feng, why don't you give a notice when you come back? It was Lin Muyu who spoke, and she had just come 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 go in for long, there was a flood inside, and the mobile phone also fell into the water, and it was completely scrapped." ”

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

"Alas. Tang Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a cold shower, and it will be like this when I wake 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 quickly shook his head, he said: "In my condition, once I enter the hospital, I can't get out, and I will be isolated by them as an avian flu patient." Tang Feng has a lot of things to do recently, first to accompany Chen Yan to participate in the Chinese Stone Carving and Jade Carving Grand Prix, and then to go to Hong Kong to participate in Christie's spring auctions.

Of course, Lin Muyu knew this, and she asked Tang Fengdao, "What should I do then?"

Tang Feng said: "Just buy some medicine and eat it, go home and sleep and you'll be fine, my body is great." ”

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

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Tang Feng, go back and recuperate, and come out in a month." ”

"You're going to confinement. Tang Feng turned back to Chen Yan and said, "I'll be fine tomorrow." ”

Lin Muyu sent Tang Feng home, Tang Feng fell asleep on the bed, this sleep was more than ten hours, when Tang Feng woke up, it was already the next day, he only felt dizzy and feverish, it seemed that the problem was a bit serious. The body is like a credit card, the usual irregular life is overdraft, Tang Feng's work and rest time is unstable, and the three meals are irregular, now it's okay, it's time to repay the debt.

"Tang Feng. Lin Muyu, who was wearing pajamas, sat next to Tang Feng, and she asked Tang Feng, "How do you feel now?"

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

Lin Muyu asked, "I'm hungry, I'll make it for you if you want to eat." ”

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

"When is this all right, you're still kidding. Lin Muyu touched Tang Feng's forehead and said, "You are not lightly ill, do you really not go to the hospital?"

Tang Feng said: "Let's recuperate for a while and look at it, it's just a small problem, it's not a big problem, and it's too late to go to the hospital when it's really not good." Tang Feng wondered a little in his heart, the tomb had been sealed for hundreds of years, could there be an ancient virus in it, 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 divided into male and female genders.

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

Tang Feng gently took Lin Muyu's hand and said, "Muyu, you say, does proper exercise help the body recover?"

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

Tang Feng recuperated at home for seven days, and his body finally returned to normal, and at night, as soon as Lin Muyu went to bed, Tang Feng took her into his arms, and he said while touching her soft body: "Muyu, I miss me." ”

Lin Muyu smiled and stroked Tang Feng's chin and said, "Where do you think?"

Tang Feng said seriously: "Of course I think in my heart." ”

"What about here? Do you want to do it here?" Lin Muyu and Tang Feng were talking normally, but there was a different scene in the bed, at this moment, Lin Muyu's hand quietly moved between Tang Feng's legs, and she said to Tang Feng while fiddling with the thing: "Is it sad? Tang Feng laughed, turned over and pressed against Lin Muyu, and the two of them started to make a fuss on the bed.

The next day, Tang Feng came to China Stone, and the employees in the store were surrounding an inkstone and were amazed, Chen Yan said proudly: "How is it, it doesn't feel like a gold medal work?"

"Well, then it goes without saying that our second brother will shoot, and it must be the first. Lu Guang nodded and said, "If only the second brother participates alone." ”

"Stinky boy!" Chen Yan stretched out his hand to fight, but Lu Guang had already run away.

"I'll see. Tang Feng walked to Chen Yan's agate inkstone and observed it carefully, and finally he said: "Well, good, very good, if it is sold like this, it will definitely be worth 1.8 million and hundreds of yuan." "This piece of water urchin agate was worth 1.8 million before it was processed, Chen Yan took great pains to process it, but it was only a few hundred yuan, Tang Feng was deliberately stimulating Chen Yan.

", you guys won't appreciate it," Chen Yan immediately put the water urchin agate inkstone into a cardboard box, and he said: "It's not me bragging, as soon as this thing is put on the organizing committee's platform, it will definitely surprise everyone." ”

Tang Feng asked Chen Yan, "Are you going to take it to the competition now?"

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

Tang Feng then asked Chen Yan: "Have you done market research, and have any strong players participated in this year?"

"You don't need to do an investigation on this. Chen Yan said affirmatively: "There are a large number of masters participating in the competition every year, I don't consider them at all, and if I am invincible in my heart, I am invincible in the world." ”

"If you are invincible in your heart, you are invincible in the world, how can this sound so familiar?" Tang Feng patted his head and thought about it, this is what Jack Ma, chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group, said, and he said to Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, can you have some creativity when you call the slogan?"

Chen Yan said: "The loud slogans have been said by those celebrities, if you have that meaning, don't talk nonsense with you, I'm going to take it to the organizing committee now, you just wait to see a good show." ”

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

Tang Feng said: "It's definitely no problem to be shortlisted, but it's more suspenseful to win the award, which is not something that can be decided by the work itself." ”

From its opening to the present, China Stone's business has been steadily rising, and the record of the highest monthly turnover is being refreshed every month. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, Chen Yan's water urchin agate color inkstone into the finals of the China Stone Carving Grand Prix, this inkstone in several exhibitions and scoring competitions, the ranking has climbed all the way, and finally squeezed into the ninth place in the top ten of the overall list, however, the gap with the first place is very large. As the finals were approaching, Fan Chengru came to China Stone accompanied by his beautiful granddaughter Fan Ziyun.

Tang Feng, who happened to be in the store, saw Fan Chengru coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him, and he said to Fan Chengru: "Mr. Fan, why are you here? ”

Fan Chengru said with a smile: "There's no need to do this now, it's not too late to do this after I'm ninety years old, in fact, I can come alone, Ziyun insists on coming." ”

Fan Ziyun smiled and said to Fan Chengru: "Grandpa, are you so unhappy that I follow you?"

"Of course I'm happy old man, and I don't have a few years to keep you with me, but you can't worry about me so much, it's tantamount to reminding me that I'm getting old, and I'm getting old. "Fan Chengru is indeed a respectable old man, and the elderly are rarely so optimistic and open-minded.

Tang Feng and Fan Ziyun helped Fan Chengru into the office together, and after sitting down, Lin Muyu gave the guests fragrant tea, Tang Feng asked Fan Chengru: "Mr. Fan, what's the matter with you?"

Fan Chengru laughed and said to Tang Feng: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I made a special trip here for the second son's Fang Yantai." ”

Tang Feng asked Fan Chengru: "Do you always think that Fang Yantai has any hope of winning the award?"

Fan Chengru nodded and said: "Agate is a strange stone, and water urchin agate is even more valuable. Because water urchin agate is extremely precious, the best material is very rare. Therefore, for so many years, the Chinese Stone Carving Grand Prix has never appeared inkstone carved with water urchin agate, which is an innate advantage. Moreover, I can also see the old man, that kid is really attentive this time, and the carving is very exquisite, which is an acquired advantage. The combination of these two advantages makes this inkstone eligible to win the grand prize, of course, this is purely my personal opinion. ”

Tang Feng immediately said to Fan Chengru: "Is there any other shortcoming?"

"Tang Feng, your reaction is really fast, yo, this tea is really good. Fan Chengru took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "I have a problem, that is, I don't like to talk around the corner, many people don't like to deal with me, if it weren't for the fact that other old friends are gone*, and I am old enough to be qualified, they won't ask me to be a judge." Let me tell you this, there are actually many works that are eligible to win the award, but there is only one award, and the awards for the best creativity and the best carver are purely pork, and they are insignificant. ”

Tang Feng understood, Fan Cheng came over to break the news, and he said, "Please say it directly." ”

Fan Chengru let out a long sigh and said: "Whether it's ugly or unspoken rules, Chinese people talk about human feelings and rely on relationships are facts, and we can't say ignore them." If you want to win the big prize, you also need to do some PR, to put it bluntly, just take the money. Otherwise, the agate color inkstone can only win a consolation award at most, alas" Fan Chengru sighed again, he shook his head and said: "This is the reality, the only thing I can do is to determine the scope of works that are eligible to win the award." In other words, I'm sure who they should take and who they shouldn't take, so you should understand that it's up to you to think it's 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 prizes, is it really so dark?"

Fan Chengru laughed and said: "Do you think this society is really as transparent as you reported? After a long time, I will see it, I have not lived in vain in the past few decades, I have seen everything in my eyes and remembered it in my heart, I just don't want to say it, half a foot has already stepped into the coffin, the old man can't afford to toss, I hope it can be corrected in the future." ”

Fan Chengru was direct, Tang Feng was no longer hypocritical, he asked Fan Chengru: "What price?

"No, Mr. Tang, do you really plan to spend money?" Fan Ziyun asked Tang Fengdao, Tang Feng left a very good impression on Fan Ziyun, in her opinion, Tang Feng is a very upright person.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "No way, it's up to the price now, if it's too expensive, then forget it." "In business, Tang Feng has not 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, it will be very beneficial to the operation of Chinese stone, no matter what the real situation is, but the gold medal of the Chinese Stone Carving Grand Prix is indeed a golden signboard, which can make Chinese stone go up a notch. Of course, if the final result is more than worth the loss, then it has to be abandoned, it is just a matter of exchange of interests.

"Well, well, the market is different every year. Fan Chengru thought for a moment and said, "5 million should be no problem." Tang Feng, the old man didn't come to blackmail, he just told you the truth, so that you have a score in your hearts, so as not to be disappointed. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "You don't have to say that, I can understand." "Tang Feng and Chen Yan's motives for participating in the China Stone Carving Grand Prix are not pure, they themselves are not pure, can they expect others to be pure?

"Okay!" Tang Feng said without thinking: "I'm willing to pay, Fan Lao, I really want to thank you." "Interlaced lines are like mountains, if Fan Chengru doesn't come to remind Tang Feng, Chen Yan's inkstone will definitely not win the award.

"Haha. Fan Chengru laughed and said: "I am personally involved this time, I don't know how many people will scold me for being hypocritical behind my back, and I will also go into the water old man." "Fan Chengru is really good to Tang Feng, this matter is small and small, and big is big. Let's say it's small, it's just going with the flow, and if it's big, it's not guaranteed to be late.

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

"Xie doesn't need it, if you want to talk about it, I'm also selfish. Fan Chengru said: "After all, Chen Yan is my nephew, and I also hope that he can succeed." So be it, I'll call you when you need money. ”

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

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

Tang Feng saw Chen Yan's calm face, and said with a smile: "I thought you would be scolding the street like thunder." ”

"Cut. Chen Yan said indifferently: "Do you think I grew up on Mars? I have lived in this country for more than 30 years, don't you know this?" ”

Tang Feng immediately asked Chen Yan: "Then I'm strange, since you knew it before, then you still participate in this competition?"

Chen Yan said: "Don't say it, I really didn't know before, Uncle Shi and his old man won't tell us this, just let us work hard, work hard, and work hard." ”

Tang Feng said: "Why do I think your uncle is a little bad, he knows the truth and asks you to work hard." ”

Chen Yan said very seriously: "You don't know Uncle Shi, he came to tell you that these things have actually explained the problem, which proves that my inkstone is qualified to win the grand prize, if the inkstone is not good, let alone 5 million, even 50,000 cannot get the grand prize, this is called limited fairness." Uncle Shi's old man's efforts are to make us work hard to enter the ranks of those who are qualified to come up with sponsorship, you understand?"

Tang Feng nodded and said: "It's great that you can think so, I mean, we should give this 5 million, the key is up to you, reluctant?"

Chen Yan couldn't help frowning, he said: "5 million, these guys are simply lions with big mouths, so we will lose a lot." ”

Tang Feng said: "Actually, we don't suffer, this is called a win-win situation, the benefits of getting the grand prize are definitely more than the 5 million, this money is worth us." ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Then let's go out, I also want to leave a name, this money is mine." ”

"You kid, don't try to be alone. Tang Feng smiled and said, "It's still the two of us, the benefits of winning the grand prize to China Stone are greater than the benefits to you." ”

Chen Yan said: "Originally, the Chinese stone couldn't take out the 5 million, but your Hetian jade gambling stone played a big role." ”

"Yo. Tang Feng said: "If you don't mention it, I forgot, what was the result after that stone was opened?"

Chen Yan didn't expect that Lin Muyu didn't tell Tang Feng, he said: "It's Hetian topaz, the quality is good and bad, there are more than 500 kilograms, and there will be no shortage of Hetian jade in the short term." ”

"Hey, that's the best news I've heard these days. Tang Feng nodded proudly and said, "It seems that my luck is good, and your luck is also good." ”

"Don't catch me, it's all about 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 want me to reveal a little bit of the inside story?"

"Go and go, don't come to this set. Tang Feng said angrily: "There is something to say and fart, which makes me have goosebumps all over my body." ”

"Then I'll ask. Chen Yan asked Tang Fengdao: "Do you have a knack for gambling stones?"

Hearing that Chen Yan was going to ask this, Tang Feng immediately waved his hand, and he said, "No." ”

"How could it not be?" Chen Yan was very dissatisfied with Tang Feng's answer, and he then asked, "Then why is your vision so accurate?"

"Quasi-hairy, I've missed it many times. Seeing Chen Yan's disbelief, Tang Feng said: "Let me ask you, is my gambling stone as accurate as I am to see antiques?"

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

Tang Feng said to Chen Yan: "Let me tell you the truth, the way I look at gambling stones and the way I look at antiques are actually similar, but I am more sure of antiques, you understand." ”

"I kind of get it. Chen Yan nodded, if Tang Feng had any special abilities, there would not be such a big gap between looking at gambling stones and looking at antiques.

Gambling stones are naturally formed, and antiques are artificially processed, it is far more difficult to see gambling stones than to look at antiques, and Tang Feng's grasp is naturally reduced. Tang Feng said: "As a last resort, I resolutely don't want to gamble on stones anymore, that's not what people do at all." ”

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

Tang Feng was full of confidence in the future, he said: "I have already appeared on TV, if you win another award, then our Chinese stone will be famous." ”

"I hope so. Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, a grand prize worth 5 million, I will feel heartache when I think about it, and when I get the trophy back, I will immediately stuff it under the bed." ”

"Let's leave it in the store. Tang Feng said: "Pretending to be forced is a necessary drop." ”

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 China Jade Carving and Stone Carving Grand Prix kicked off at the Beijing International Convention and Exhibition Center.

At six o'clock that night, Chen Yan came to the Chinese Stone, Tang Feng looked him up and down in a suit and leather shoes, and said: "Yes, I really can't see it, Chen Yan looks like a dog in a suit." However, wearing this to drive Alto is not very suitable. ”

"Hmph, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth. Chen Yan said: "The product of national industry is the embodiment of patriotism. ”

"It's almost time, so you two won't be bickering. Lin Muyu walked out of the office, she said: "It's easy to get stuck in traffic at this time, go early." ”

The awards party was very lively, it was a singing and dancing performance and a live TV broadcast, but the more Tang Feng watched it, the more it was not a taste, behind this flashy society of singing and dancing, there are still many little-known shady, insider and unspoken rules.

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

The master of ceremonies of the evening said our familiar words of congratulations, guests and guests, the most exciting moment is coming, the following is to reveal the 2009 year, China jade carving, stone carving Grand Prix gold medal works, below please our award guests

After that, the award presenter, the pot-bellied chairman, appeared on the stage, and after some hypocritical rhetoric and pretentious jokes, the winners who had already been predetermined were announced. The author who won the Jade Carving Gold Award walked on the stage with Chen Yan to accept the award, and when he delivered his acceptance speech, Chen Yan was particularly devoted, others thought he was moved, only Tang Feng knew that it was heartache, 5 million.

Of course, the 5 million is not in vain, the next day, the TV news and newspapers appeared in the picture of Chen Yan holding the trophy, and the gate of the Chinese stone also hung banners, lanterns, it was a celebration.

When checking out the bill in the evening, Chen Yan asked Lin Muyu: "How is it, have you seen the money back?" ”

Lin Muyu said: "Where is it so fast? Just like Tang Feng last time he appeared on TV, it will take a while to see the results." ”

Tang Feng also said: "Don't worry, this money is coming back slowly, our Chinese stone has established a brand, and the future will be better." ”

Tang Feng's still kept the old number, and the next night, Tang Feng received a call from Liu Yue, she had returned to Beijing, Tang Feng went to the gate of Zhu Ji Auction House, Liu Yue's Wrangler was waiting for him there, he opened the car door and got into the car. Liu Yue said, "Do you want to know the situation over there?"

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

Liu Yue shook her head and said, "It's true, the archaeologists have explored the entire underground palace and have made no major discoveries." ”

Tang Feng said: "If you really want to excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang next, the Mausoleum of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty should have reference significance, and from this point of view, you have gained." ”

Liu Yue said: "The excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is still in the demonstration stage, and it will not be carried out in the short term. ”

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, "Fool, what exactly do you want to say?"

Tang Feng gently took Liu Yue's hand and said, "Seriously, Liu Yue, I'm really happy to know you." Now that the two sides have clarified some things, Tang Feng is no longer pretentious, and he said softly: "Liu Yue, I like you." Of course, men will not be passive forever, Tang Feng gently hugged Liu Yue's fragrant shoulder, he bowed his head slightly, and kissed her lips gently, and Liu Yue did not refuse-

Satsuki, you're back!

Liu Yue's car window was suddenly knocked on, and the two people immediately separated as if electrocuted, Tang Feng looked out of the car window, that person he knew, it was Yang Chengming.
