Chapter 420 (1/2)

”I said it. What's the matter?”

Without waiting for the person in charge to answer Hong Mingcheng's question, a loud voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

All the people turned their heads and saw that the old man of the Chen family did not know when he had stood behind the crowd with his grandson Chen Chong. At the moment, he was walking towards the stage.

”Old president.”

”Here you are, old president.”

”Ah, Mr. Chen is here!”

Seeing Mr. Chen, everyone immediately asked respectfully.

On the stage, Hong Mingcheng saw that Chen was really struck by lightning. Until Chen and Chen Chong came to the bottom of the stage, they suddenly recovered and rushed to the stage.

”Old, old president, why did you come all of a sudden?” Hong Mingcheng looked confused and couldn't understand why old Chen suddenly appeared.

When he held the match, he repeatedly confirmed that Chen was seriously ill and could not attend the match.

However, looking at the improvement of old Chen and the morale of what he said just now, it seems that he is like nothing. Where does it look like he is seriously ill!

”Why, can't I come?” Old Chen glanced at Hong Mingcheng and asked coldly.

When Hong Mingcheng heard the speech, he shook his head and said, ”no, Mr. Chen, I didn't mean that. You are the real president of our antiques Association. Why can't you come

”I mean, I heard that you are in a bad condition before, so I don't have to bother to come here in person. We are here, and there will be no problem.”

”Oh, really?” Mr. Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. ”Thank you for your concern. I'm in good health now. Besides, I heard that this year's competition is a new one, so I have to come and have a look. ”

”This...” Hong Mingcheng had nothing to say. He was stunned for a long time and then said, ”well, the rules of the competition are decided by the organizing committee. You, why did you change all of a sudden? Is there something wrong? ”

”Hum, Xiao Hong, have you forgotten what you just said? I'm the president of the antiques Association. In the past, the competition rules of the annual competition were handled by me. Now I change the rules and still think about the overall situation. What's the problem? ” Hong asked in a low and domineering voice.

Hong Mingcheng subconsciously frowned, then forced out a smile and said, ”no problem, no problem. Since it's Chen laoding's rule, there must be no problem.”

Although he said so, Hong Mingcheng was swearing in his heart.

According to the current competition system, everyone can see the picture of the competition, and Mr. Chen is in charge of supervising the competition in person. He said yesterday that the plot negotiated by Zhang Chao and others could not be carried out, which was very unfavorable to him.

If with his true ability, he knows that he is definitely not Liang Xiao's opponent. Now the only thing he can hope for is that Liang Xiao accepted the generous gift he sent yesterday and was able to keep his promise and deliberately lose the game.

”Since Xiao Hong doesn't have any opinions, don't delay everyone's time. Let's start the competition as soon as possible.” When he was in a trance, he heard the voice of Mr. Chen again.

Hong Mingcheng hurriedly returned to his mind, nodded, and then subconsciously looked at Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao saw the meaning in his eyes and immediately returned a meaningful look, as if to reassure him that he knew what to do.

Seeing his eyes like this, Hong Mingcheng was stunned at first, and then understood. He couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Well, everyone, the competition officially begins. Please go to the competition hall on the third floor. The rest will stay on the first floor and watch the game on the big screen. ”
