"Cultural combat and martial arts?" Xu Wei wondered, "How about literary combat and martial arts?"
"It's simple to say that this combat of literature and martial arts is that the Xiao family and I each choose a question to ask, either literature or martial arts. If the other party can't do it or is defeated, it is a loss. One article and one martial arts. If there is no winner, Master Xu will ask another question to decide the winner." Tao Dongcheng said.
Lin Wanrong understood, isn't it two wins in three games? It's thanks to them that they can figure out this article and martial arts. Although Miss Xiao is a businessman, but her talent and learning even Luo Ning, the number one talented woman in Jinling who is proficient in poetry, is full of praise. This article is definitely not afraid of them. Wu's, isn't it fighting? Speaking of fighting, who was I afraid of
"That's interesting." Xu Wei said with a smile, "It's just Mr. Tao, why are you competing with the Xiao family?"
Tao Dongcheng said: "If I lose, I will resign as the chairman of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, and the brothers in the association will choose other talents. In addition, my Tao family will transfer the cloth village run by my subordinates to Xiao without taking any money. Home."
The eldest lady was shocked when she heard the words. Although the Tao family's cloth shop is not as good as the Xiao family's business scale, it is not much different. Tao Dongcheng is going to put all his eggs in one basket by doing this.
That Tao Wanying didn't seem to expect her brother to make such a move, she hurriedly said in surprise: "Brother, no!"
Tao Dongcheng shot a cold light in his eyes and said, "I will never go back on what I have decided."
Xu Wei nodded, with a mysterious smile in his eyes and said: "If the Xiao family loses, what do you want them to do?"
Tao Dongcheng said: "This Lin San beat the two of us today. If they lose, I will ask the Xiao family to apologize to President Yu and me. In addition—" He glanced at Xiao Yuruo, and a frenzy flashed in his eyes: "I If you want Miss Xiao, marry me."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. To get Miss Xiao is to get the Xiao family, and to get the Xiao family is to get the business of perfume and soap. Tao Dongcheng's tricks can be described as extremely sinister.
"Shameless!" The eldest lady blushed and scolded angrily. This Tao Dongcheng used to have such a gentle appearance, but today he showed his fierce appearance. It's not as good as Lin San, who has always been so "bad".
Having said that, Tao Dongcheng has completely broken his face with the Xiao family. Today's battle between trapped beasts will either kill the fish or break the net.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, the majestic Mr. Tao would be reduced to resorting to such methods. His skin is thicker than mine." It's not the first time this kid has thick skin. After letting CY go, Lin Wanrong completely despised him.
Xu Wei looked at Miss Xiao solemnly and said: "Miss Xiao, this is a matter of your life, you have to think it over carefully, don't show off your temper for a while."
That's right, Lao Xu has calmly sentenced both sides to hit 50 boards each, and this matter is over, will I be stupid enough to fight him again? Lin Wanrong was thinking in his heart, and said to Xiao Yuruo: "Miss, your lord has already judged today's matter, and now it has nothing to do with our Xiao family. There is no need to fight with him."
Seeing the thoughtful look in Miss Xiao's eyes, Tao Dongcheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss, today I am competing fairly in front of Mr. Xu, there is no favoritism, if the Xiao family dare not challenge, then Jinling Chamber of Commerce , there will be no place for the Xiao family anymore."
Damn it, this person surnamed Tao is really arrogant, Lin Wanrong cursed in his heart. Although Xu Wei is a first-rank member of the imperial court, he can't solve the matters within the association. If they broke away from the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, it would be difficult for the Xiao family to move forward in Jinling. If this Tao Dongcheng was not resolved, this matter would not be resolved.
The eldest lady naturally knew the pros and cons of it. She clenched her fists and bit her lips tightly, but she didn't know what to do.
On one side is her own lifelong happiness, and on the other side is the survival of hundreds of members of the Xiao family. She has been forced to the cliff and has no way out.
This matter is closely related to Miss Xiao and the Xiao family, and for the first time, Lin Wanrong felt powerless. Based on what he knew about Xiao Yuruo, he knew what she would choose.
Xiao Yuruo sighed lightly, looked at him and said, "Lin San, I—"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Miss, you don't need to say it, I know what you choose, don't worry, this talent is the second best in the world, only a little bit worse than Mr. Wen Chang, capable of both literature and martial arts, and is not afraid of anything. "
The eldest lady nodded, but tears fell down. Lin Wanrong tilted her head and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, even if you lose, the big deal is that before you marry this Tao, I will find some people to snatch the marriage, and then Go up the mountain to be a thieves, please be Mrs. Yazhai."
Xiao Yuruo blushed when she heard this, and said, "You've come to this point, but you haven't said anything serious. What about Mrs. Yazhai, is it that unbearable?"
She didn't know what it was like, but after his interruption, her mood was much calmer. One article and one martial arts, the letter one is supported by myself and Lin San, naturally I am not afraid, the martial arts one loses, but there is still a third pass, Xu Wei, who thinks Master Xu will not deliberately endanger himself.
Thinking of this, she became more cheerful, and smiled at Lin Sanyi: "At this critical moment, don't be serious. If you lose, I will fine you a year's salary."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "If I win, you will wash my clothes for a year, which is fair."
The eldest lady blushed, but hummed lightly.
Xiao Yuruo turned around and said to Xu Wei: "Master Xu, the little girl agrees to Mr. Tao's request for a competition."
Xu Wei was taken aback and said: "Miss Xiao, you have to think carefully, this matter is related to your life."
Xiao Yuruo smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, the little girl has confidence. Besides, there is Lin San."
Seeing that the eldest lady was so determined, Xu Wei sighed lightly, and only hoped that little brother Lin would be as knowledgeable as ever.
The people in the hall did not expect today's event to turn into this scene, which is much more beautiful and exciting than that business annual meeting, and everyone is noisy. That Liu Yue'e hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yuruo's hand and said, "Sister, sister supports you."
A cold gleam flashed in Tao Dongcheng's eyes, and he clasped his fists to Xu Wei and said, "My lord, since the eldest lady has agreed, for the sake of fairness, the students suggest that the order of the questions should be determined by drawing lots."
"It's natural." Xu Wei said seriously.
As a result of the lottery on both sides, it was Miss Xiao who drew "A" and Tao Dongcheng who drew "B".
The eldest lady chose the right to ask first, while the Tao family took the right to ask first. The right to the first question means that the Xiao family will choose the civil and military questions first, and the remaining one will be automatically given to the Tao family. Ask Quan first, so the Tao family can first ask the questions they have chosen.
The eldest lady said softly to Lin San: "Do we want civil power or military power?"
Lin Wanrong pondered for a while and said: "If you want Wu Quan, then Wen Quan has the two of us. I'm sorry they can't ask anything. We are not familiar with Wu Quan, so we should let us come up with the question."
The eldest lady also thought so, so she took Wu Quan first. Tao Dongcheng smiled coldly, and said, "The right to ask questions is in my hands first, and then it will be my Tao family's turn to ask questions."
As an intermediary, Xu Wei took a look at Xiao Yuruo and saw the eldest lady nodding, so Xu Wei said to Tao Dongcheng: "Young Master Tao, you can ask."
A stern light flashed in Tao Dongcheng's eyes, and he said, "Everyone here is a businessman, and eyesight is our most common skill. My question is to test my eyesight and knowledge."
The eldest lady was shocked. She originally thought that Tao Dongcheng's essay test was about discussing poetry, but she didn't expect it to be a test of eyesight. There are so many things in the world, with the strength of two people, how can we see everything. This essay test, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good.
Lin Wanrong seemed to have seen through the thinking of the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, there is me." The eldest lady smiled sweetly, this Lin San will be lenient.
Tao Dongcheng saw the hesitant glances of the two, but triumphantly took out a small box from his arms, and slowly opened the box. Inside was a small piece of stone-like thing about three-thirds the size of a small fingernail. Countless dots of small stones are gathered, crystal clear, shining bright luster under the refraction of the sun, colorful and fascinating.
Among the crowd, not to mention the eldest lady, even the well-informed Xu Wei was inexplicably surprised. What is this, is it a stone? So beautiful and bright, but never seen before.
Tao Dongcheng saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and bursts of pride flashed across his face, and said, "Miss Xiao, do you know what this is? Do you know its origin? If you get the answer right, this time will be I lost."
Xiao Yuruo gritted her teeth tightly, even Xu Wei, the most talented student in the world, couldn't recognize this thing, but how could she recognize it. Are you going to lose this essay test? She felt sad, looked at Lin San, but saw him thinking deeply.
The eldest lady thought that Lin San would not recognize her, so she sighed in her heart, and said, "We—"
"We know this stone—" Lin Wanrong interrupted her with a smile.
"Lin San, you—" The eldest lady was both surprised and happy. After hearing Lin San's words, she instantly had a happy feeling of being resurrected from the dead.
"Do you know what this is?" Tao Dongcheng said disdainfully with a look of disbelief on his face.
However, Xu Wei has a deep understanding of Lin San's extensive knowledge. He himself is a learned man, and he has a natural interest in this weird thing, so he hurriedly said to Lin Wanrong: "Brother Lin, please tell me, this What is it?"
Lin Wanrong smiled, looked at Tao Dongcheng and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is not produced by my Dahua, maybe it is an imported product."
