"You..."
"Relying on your man?" Shi Wan scoffed. "Can you just say whatever you want with just your mouth? Mr. Chang, not long ago I saw you stealing cultural relics..."
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Isn't it okay to just say whatever you want with your mouth?"
"You! You dare to say you're not relying on your man?"
Shi Qing was confused listening from the side. Could it be that Shi Wan had another man?
It made sense. A useless person like Shen Siyan would be hated and avoided by anyone. Naturally, Shi Wan was no exception.
"What's wrong with relying on my man? Otherwise, why don't you try to find a man to rely on?"
Someone couldn't help laughing, and their looks at Chang Chao were all strange.
Chang Chao blushed with anger. "What right does a person who only relies on a man have to come in?"
"Exactly." Shi Wan walked up to Shi Qing. "Right, sister?"
Shi Qing's face turned pale, and she bounced away as if touched by something.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything." Shi Wan smiled. "Mr. Chang, right?"
Chang Chao didn't think there was anything wrong. "Shi Wan, stop struggling in vain and get out of here quickly."
"Chang Chao! I've said she's my guest! A distinguished guest I invited!"
"Distinguished guest? What kind of distinguished guest? Dean, don't be fooled by some people."
"You!"
"Dean, since he doesn't believe it, then just make him believe, right?"
Chang Chao scoffed.
Dean Jin's expression softened a bit. "What do you want to do?"
"Since Mr. Chang is so sure that I don't understand anything, then let's talk about professional knowledge."
"Talk? No, I want you to write it down." Chang Chao sneered maliciously. "What's the use of just memorizing books? I want you to write it down, explain it clearly, and clean the cultural relics without any damage. Otherwise, you'll be fully responsible."
"What if I succeed?"
"I'll apologize to you in front of everyone."
"Not enough."
"What do you want?"
Shi Wan thought for a while. "Get out of here."
The scene fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at Shi Wan in shock.
This was too harsh, wasn't it?
She really showed no mercy at all.
Chang Chao wasn't worried at all. "Fine!"
According to what Shi Qing said, Shi Wan would definitely not succeed.
A 19 - year - old kid, even if she had been to the site with them before and was praised for her talent, she had never really studied.
Just cleaning the cultural relics was a huge project. One had to be careful not to damage the relics and ensure they were cleaned thoroughly.
Coupled with some deeper professional knowledge, unless Shi Wan had been born decades earlier, there was absolutely no way she could catch up.
The bet began. Shi Wan put on gloves, and the dean asked someone to bring things for her. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she started the cleaning work.
Strangely enough, her movements were as proficient as if she had done it hundreds of times. She was fast and didn't damage the cultural relic itself. Her techniques were much more professional than anyone they had ever seen.
"She seems really good."
"The real show is yet to come. Chang Chao is deliberately making things difficult for her. If it were me, I'd just leave. Why does she have to be so stubborn? It's not a big deal to make a fool of herself, but if she loses, it'll be really bad."
"That's true."
Soon, Shi Wan finished the cleaning work and moved on to the next step.
Seeing this, Chang Chao asked Shi Qing uncertainly, "Are you sure she's not a professional?"
"I'm sure. I've already told you about Shi Wan's situation."
Shi Qing also looked at Shi Wan nervously. Whether the cleaning was done well or not would depend on the next part. What was the use of a beautiful technique?
The most difficult part hadn't been completed yet. Maybe Shi Wan was just putting on an act.
Dean Jin looked at her anxiously. As soon as she finished writing, he would immediately ask someone to collect it and put it away.
In less than half an hour, Shi Wan stopped writing. "Pick a person you trust the most and Dean Jin to come here."
"Picking the person I trust the most may be unfair to you. Of course, we should pick the most authoritative people."
Shi Wan raised her eyebrows. It wasn't that she didn't give him a chance; it was Chang Chao who threw the chance away by himself.
"Whatever you want."
Chang Chao walked aside to make a phone call. It wasn't until a while later that he came back.
"I've already called the people. Just wait. The masters in the archaeological field, Xiang Tianhua and Yang Anyi."
Xiang Tianhua and Yang Anyi?
Dean Jin's face changed. They had met Shi Wan before. If they came, wouldn't they try to poach her from him?
This Chang Chao must be his nemesis!
There were so many people he could have called, but he just had to call these two...
Seeing Dean Jin's face almost wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, Chang Chao thought it was because Shi Wan would be exposed when they heard the names of these two people. He felt even more proud.
"Dean, when you said she was a guest at first, I wasn't necessarily going to drive her away. Who knew she had to be so stubborn? Don't blame yourself."
Dean Jin glared at him. "What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Tell them not to come quickly. Don't humiliate yourself!"
Chang Chao sneered. "Dean, if you want to protect her, you should at least consider us. If she can't do it, how is it our humiliation?"
"I've told you, but you don't believe me!"
In his eyes, Dean Jin's anxious look was simply out of fear.
As soon as the people arrived, Shi Wan would be extremely embarrassed.
In less than an hour, a middle - aged man and woman rushed over in a hurry.
"Chang Chao, you said someone damaged the cultural relics. Where are they?"
"Two masters, that person is over there. She doesn't know anything but pretends to, and even wants to clean the cultural relics. Isn't this deliberate?"
"What are you talking nonsense about?!" Dean Jin blocked Shi Wan. "There's nothing wrong here. It's just him talking nonsense like a madman."
"Dean Jin, what's wrong with you? Why are you hiding from us?"
The two were suspicious and felt something was wrong.
"No, you guys go quickly."
"Uncle Xiang, Aunt Yang."
Shi Wan looked at Dean Jin helplessly and walked out on her own initiative to greet them.
"You... You are..."
Yang Anyi was so excited that she couldn't speak. She stepped forward and hugged her.
"Why are you here?"
"I just ran into it."
Xiang Tianhua pretended to be angry. "Good for you, Dean Jin. So it's because Wanwan is here that you've been hiding from us. And you didn't even tell us what you were doing?"
Dean Jin felt guilty. "Really? Didn't you guys say you were busy?"
"If you had said Wanwan was here, we'd have squeezed out the time even if we were busy."
"Wanwan, come and visit us later. It's been a long time since you last came."
"Right, right. We've got a lot of interesting little things there. It's much more fun than here."
Dean Jin pouted looking at the two of them. See, this was all the trouble Chang Chao had brought to him.
Chang Chao was also confused by their actions. "Two, two masters, weren't you supposed to come and see..."
"Ah, right. Where's the person you were talking about?"
"She... She's right in front of you two."
In front of these two people, even Chang Chao had to bend down and speak nicely. It showed how high their status was.
"You mean Shi Wan?"
Xiang Tianhua and Yang Anyi looked at each other and both felt extremely surprised.
Chang Chao nodded stiffly, feeling something was wrong.
"Are you joking?"
"Wh... What?"
"Oh, right. It's normal that you don't know her. After all, you didn't have the chance to meet her before."
Yang Anyi suddenly realized.
