MY WIFE'S A COLD CEO

Chapter 210: King of Antiquities East Sea City

Shuqing Song took out 10 antiques. There were paintings, jade, vases and glowing pearls…

“There is a mix of real and fake items in these 10 antiques. You will all choose one antique to authenticate. We will draw to decide the order this time, not based on the ranking. ” Shuqing Song smiled faintly and introduced the rules of the third round of the competition.

Since there were 10 antiques, everyone got them. Qingfeng was in no hurry to pick an antique. He looked at the antiques carefully. There are 5 original items and 5 counterfeit items among the 10 antiques.

Qingfeng did not step forward to vote but the other 9 participants were unable to contain themselves. They stepped forward to select the antiques and started authenticating the antiques.

One had to admit that the antiques Shuqing Song brought were all of high quality. The fake piece is very similar to the original. Many of the participants incorrectly authenticated the pieces at this stage of the competition.

Other than Qingfeng not choosing antiques, the remaining participants had chosen antiques to authenticate. Even Xiuling Xu and Xiaomei Wang failed. Only Sitao Song remained.

Of course Sitao Song could win for having received information about antiques from his grandfather, Shuqing Song. He already knew which of those 10 pieces were the real ones before the competition started.

Without Shuqing Song's help, it would be impossible for Sitao Song to win. There are unspoken rules in all trades of society, not least the Antique Competition.

“Qingfeng, quickly select the antiques to pass,” Shuqing Song said as she looked at Qingfeng standing at the side. A glint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

He asked Qingfeng to choose an antique but in reality, Qingfeng had no choice. The other nine were selected by other participants. Only the glowing pearls remain.

The glowing pearl was the size of an egg. The color is round and light blue. It emitted a light glow and its surface was smooth like jade. There was not a single flaw in his pearl.

Qingfeng took out a glowing pearl and felt a warm sensation. Luminous pearls are rare gems. In ancient times, it was known as moon‘ light pearl and ’beauty‘ pearl. Only nobles can have a glowing pearl.

The famous glowing pearls in history are owned by Danji Su, Guifei Yang, and Empress Dowager Cixi. Pearls are one of the favorite types of jewelry of women and are a sign of nobility.

Qingfeng carefully examined the glowing pearl in his hand. He furrowed his brows and said, “The glowing pearls are fake.”

Whahuh? That glowing pearl is fake? His words surprised everyone. Everyone looked at Qingfeng with confusion in their eyes.

“How can the glowing pearl be fake?”

“Yes, the pearl color is very bright. It looks so pure. It looks authentic to me. ”

“I think it's also original.”

The surrounding spectators were discussing amongst themselves. They all thought the glowing pearls were real. Anyway, the pearl is amazing.

Shuqing Song's face slightly changed when he heard Qingfeng's words. He naturally knew the authenticity of the things he brought with him.

Qingfeng explained to the crowd when he saw their puzzled expressions.

He said, “Luminous pearls are things that emit light. It is derived from volcanic lava and is formed by the movement of Earth's plates and the deposition of minerals. There are particles of light in the ratna. It's a kind of gem. Because it is round in shape and emits light, it is named after a luminous pearl.

The judge is 60 years old. He was myopic and therefore called the magistrate in glasses.

Qingfeng looked at the judge with glasses and said, “I just talked about the formation of glowing pearls. Now, I'm going to talk about these fake pearls. These pearls are stones with a layer of fluorescence powder. Heat is applied to the stone to absorb fluorescence powder. That's why ratna emits light. ”

“Oh, so it's a fake glowing pearl made of stone and fluorescent powder,” the glasses judge said knowingly.

Luminous pearls are rare and expensive. As such, some manufacturers have produced fake glowing pearls for a hefty profit.

Although Qingfeng had explained everything clearly, Shuqing Song was still not satisfied. He said, “Qingfeng, what you said is just a theory. You need to prove that these glowing pearls are fake. ”

Qingfeng smiled faintly as he looked at Shuqing Song deliberately making things difficult for him. He said, “Because you want proof, I'll prove it to you.”

Qingfeng smiled faintly and found a bottle of alcohol and a porcelain bowl. He poured alcohol into the bowl and placed the glowing pearls into the bowl.

Fluorescent alcohols and pearls react chemically. The fluorescent powder slowly spreads from the glowing pearl and dissolves into the alcohol. Luminous pearls have become common rocks.

This is not a glowing pearl. The judges and the surrounding spectators were all stunned upon seeing the ordinary stone inside the bowl. No one thought the glowing pearl was fake.

Shuqing Song's expression darkened as he looked at an ordinary stone. But under everyone's supervision, he could only announce the result, “Qingfeng passed the third round.”

There were only two people who qualified for the third round, Qingfeng and Sitao Song. However, Qingfeng was the winner of the first and second round. Therefore, he immediately got the position of the first champion of the Antiquities Competition. This is a collective decision of the judges. Although Shuqing Song was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

Uhuk!

Yunchang Xu coughed and cleared his throat. He loudly announced, “The East Sea City Antique Competition has ended successfully. This year's Antique King was Qingfeng Li. ”

The surrounding spectators were excited when they heard Yunchang Xu's words. They stood up and began to applaud.

There was only one Antique King in the Eastern Sea City. Only the winner of the Antique Champion can earn the title of Antique King. Qingfeng has won the title without a doubt.

Qingfeng is the dark horse in this year's competition. Before the competition, no one expected him to win the competition.

The prize for the winner is very profitable. Not only did he win the title of “Antique King of the Eastern Sea City”, he also won an antique worth 1,000,000 Yuan.

Yunchang Xu presented the silver trophy to Qingfeng.

The trophy is 30cm high. It's silver and clear. The plate says “King Antik”. It is a great honor to get that title.

Yunchang Xu handed the trophy to Qingfeng and took out a glowing white pearl from the box. He said with a smile, “Qingfeng, this is a truly glowing pearl. This was an antique from a noble family of the Qing Dynasty. That's your pay. ”

The glowing pearls are milky white and coiled. It emitted a soft white light. Qingfeng could tell from a single glance that it was a genuine glowing pearl.
