Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Lu Mengxi looks good as well. After the stone gambling contest, Lu Mengxi’s reputation in the country would be higher than Shen Qianshu’s. She is an internationally renowned appraiser after all. Our nation’s appraisers can’t compare to her.”
“Right. Who said she isn’t?”
“She’s pretty, has a good family background, and is so talented. She really makes others envious of her.”
Lin Xiaojuan held onto Tong Hua’s hand. “This is the first round. As long as Qianshu enters the finals, we have a chance.”
“I believe in Mommy!”
The people around them were mostly boasting about Lu Mengxi. That sounded really annoying. It was fine if they wanted to support Lu Mengxi, but there was no need to b*tch about Shen Qianshu. This made Tong Hua really unhappy.

As long as she makes it past the first round, that’s all that matters. The most important thing is the finals. I see that Qianshu is very confident. She’s not worried in the slightest bit, so don’t worry about her.”
There was a close-up on the big screen in the center. Upon hearing that Lu Mengxi was first place, Shen Qianshu clapped for her. In front of the media, she had to create the persona of being an open-minded person.
For this, Lin Xiaojuan admired her.
Their Little Shu always knew when to submit and when to stand firm as required.
The second prize went to the appraiser who picked the carnelian stone. Yun An was fifth.
For ninth place, it was a French appraiser.
Tong Hua and Lin Xiaojuan felt uncomfortable now.
Only ten appraisers could make it into the finals. There were so many people in the hall today. Would Qianshu not make it into the finals? Tong Hua had a very serious expression.
Zhong Ran said, “Young Master, it doesn’t matter if we get in the finals. We don’t need the money nor the reputation anyway.”
“This is not a matter of money and reputation,” Tong Hua said.
Zhong Ran shut his mouth.
When it came to gem gambling, luck was just way too important.
Could Miss Shen really have chosen wrong?
Lu Mengxi looked at Shen Qianshu, pleased. She was just standing beside Shen Qianshu. “See. Shen Qianshu, you are in no place to compete with me. You are out on the first round. You didn’t dare to bet with me because you knew that you were going to lose.”
Shen Qianshu smiled at Lu Mengxi. “Oh? You’re so fantastic. I bet the last position belongs to me. Do you believe me?”
“Whatever. The chances of you being in tenth place are so low. How could you be so confident? Just concede defeat sooner. You clearly don’t have what it takes to compare to me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYun An said calmly, “Lu Mengxi, is it really that big of a deal to win first place in the first round of gem gambling?”
Lu Mengyun looked at Yun An coldly.
In the first round, many people would usually hide their true talent. The second round was the more competitive one. As long as they could guarantee on getting into the finals, that was all they cared about. Yun An noticed that Shen Qianshu had taken a look at all the 300 stones in the hall during the first round.
In those twenty minutes, she was the only one who had seen all the stones in the hall.
So, he made a daring guess.
“Right, it’s a big deal indeed,” Lu Mengxi said arrogantly. “I could get first place, but yet you couldn’t. That shows why I am amazing and how this is a big deal.”
Shen Qianshu laughed. “Oh, society!”
The emcee said, “Now, we have only one place left. Are you excited? Who would this last place belong to?”
Tong Hua and Lin Xiaojuan were really anticipating.
Chen Wanwan and the designers around were chanting in their heads, Sister Shu, Sister Shu, Sister Shu!
The emcee was holding onto the letter in his hands, and he announced loudly. “The last place goes to... Shen Qianshu! Congratulations Miss Shen!”
