Chapter 340 Opening of the Expo
Xia Rufei hesitated for a moment. After all, this pot of molan is not his thing, and it is definitely inappropriate to use other people's things as bets.
Seeing this, Chen Song sneered: "This junior girl has agreed. What else do you have to think about? Could it be that you are bluffing, but you actually don't dare to bet at all?"
Xia Rufei didn't even have the interest in responding to this low-level provocation.
He just glanced at Chen Song indifferently, then turned to Lu You, and said with a smile: "What if I lose accidentally? I can't find the exact same Molan to compensate you..."
Lu You curled his lips and said, "If you lose, you will lose. You don't have to pay me orchid."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "How can you be so embarrassed?"
"If you feel embarrassed, then..." Lu You glanced at Xia Rufei and said, "If you lose, you will compensate us Yueyue as your boyfriend!"
"Youyou..." Jiang Yue's face was flushed with shame, and she bit her teeth and beat Lu You shyly.
You Jun, who was standing aside, was almost inflamed when he heard this. He was Jiang Yue's admirer and had been pursuing Jiang Yue for a long time. Moreover, through these contacts, the fool could see Jiang Yue's affection for Xia Rufei, so You Jun naturally had some feelings.
Xia Rufei was even more stunned, thinking that Miss Lu really dared to say anything! In front of so many people...
Lu You curled his lips and said, "Okay! You are kidding you! If you want to bet, you will bet. Anyway, if you lose, you will be mine. If you win, you will be the one who will win!"
"No additional conditions?" Xia Ruofei asked carefully.
Lu You glared lightly and said, "I will regret it if I talk more..."
"I've been betting!" Xia Ruofei said firmly.
Then he looked at Chen Song and asked lightly: "Tell me! How can I bet?"
A hint of joy appeared in Chen Song's eyes, and soon he calmed down his mind and said proudly: "It's very simple, you are a pot of jade lion..."
Chen Song looked at the flower pot covered by a large black plastic bag on Xia Rufei's hand, and said cautiously: "By the way, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the flower pot participating in the exhibition in your hand must be the pot of molan three days ago. If you change to other flowers, the bet will be invalid!"
Xia Ruofei sneered and said, "Don't worry! If you change the bag, it's the pot of molan three days ago! If I transfer the bag, don't invalidate this bet, I will lose it directly!"
Chen Song nodded with confidence and continued, "Then there is no problem. The rules are very simple. The pot of jade lion and Yang's Suhe who participated in the exhibition in our school, and that pot of orchid won the gold medal, even if anyone wins."
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and said, "What if he didn't win the gold medal? I heard that this expo had three silver medals. What if all one or two pots of flowers won the silver medal?"
"This is impossible!" Chen Song said without hesitation, "If our Yang Suhe can't win the gold medal, then there will be no pot of flowers in this expo that is qualified to win the gold medal!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing and said, "According to what you said, you don't need to fight this bet! You have decided on the gold medal directly, and we can give you this pot of molan..."
The students from Sanshan University Horticultural Club couldn't help but laugh.
Although Xia Cheng and others were completely unsure, this matter now involves the face of Sanshan University Horticulture Club and Agriculture and Forestry University Horticulture Club. It can even be said that it has risen to the struggle between the two schools, so everyone naturally has a common hatred for the enemy.
Chen Song's face became ugly, but in terms of eloquence, he was far inferior to Xia Rufei. Xia Rufei's words just now, "Your mother is the whole world" made him unable to speak for a long time.
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "I'm still saying that since I want to make a bet, I have to make the rules clear first. This is called a villain first and a gentleman later. Otherwise, it will be boring for everyone to argue in the end."
Chen Song snorted coldly and said, "Then as you wish, this time it will be higher than the prize-winning level of the two pots of flowers. If you win the same level of award, please ask the expo judges to divide the two pots of flowers into one higher!"
Xia Rufei snapped his fingers and said, "Isn't it enough to say that earlier? I've bet! Keep your strange stone in mind, don't lose at that time and you won't bet!"
Chen Song sneered: "Let this sentence be left to yourself! Take good care of this pot of jade lion for me!"
After saying that, Chen Song left directly.
"Brother Xia, this man is so arrogant!" Jiang Yue looked at Chen Song's back and said dissatisfiedly, "It seems like they have won..."
Xia Cheng looked worried and said, "Mr. Xia, I heard that the Yang Suhe Hee, which was exhibited by A&F University, is a rare treasure. Our Jade Lion..."
Xia Ruofei smiled very easily and said, "It's okay, this pot of flowers is Lu You's, and I won't lose it if I lose..."
Xia Cheng and others were sweating profusely... Lu You couldn't help rolling his eyes and slanted Xia Rufei without hesitation.
The group began to walk towards the campus of Agriculture and Forestry University.
The Southeast University Flower Expo is held every two years and has been held for five sessions, and this year is the sixth session.
This expo is organized by universities in Southeast Province in turn, and this session is just the turn of A&F University.
The Flower Expo was originally just an exchange activity between student clubs and other university horticulture clubs. With the increase in the number of held events, the influence is increasing day by day. Every time the opening is open, there will be many news reporters coming to interview, and universities are paying more and more attention.
The venue for the expo is in the gymnasium of A&F University.
The new campuses of these universities cover a vast area and have very high construction standards. The gymnasium of the Agricultural and Forestry University has a basketball hall, a volleyball hall, a badminton hall, etc. This time, for the flower fair, some temporary stands were demolished, and the exhibition area was used to reach more than 6,000 square meters.
The exhibition area of Sanshan University is in the largest basketball arena.
Yesterday, Xia Cheng brought his classmates from the gardening club to decorate the booth. In fact, according to regulations, all the flowers participating in the exhibition should have been in place yesterday. However, in order to allow Molan to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible, Xia Rufei has delayed it to this day.
This was originally a communication between a school club, and the pot of molan was also reported in advance, so it was not a big problem to bring it over on the opening day.
Soon Xia Rufei and Lu You and others arrived at the booth of Sanshan University.
This expo, A&F University is the host, so their booth is naturally the best, located in the most central and eye-catching location in the entire basketball hall.
The booths of Ludao University, Sanshan University, Southeast Normal University, and other universities, which are ranked high in the province, are also concentrated in this main exhibition hall, but the location is slightly more biased than the booths of Agriculture and Forestry University, forming a trend of stars surround the moon.
This is also impossible. The game also pays attention to home games!
Xia Cheng looked at the very gorgeously decorated booth of the Agricultural and Forestry University not far away, and his eyebrows were filled with unhidden worry.
The flowers at the booth of the Agricultural and Forestry University have been in place. Several journalists are gathering around for interviews, and photographers are taking photos of the flowers on the booth.
Xia Cheng recognized the interviewee Meng Zhou, the president of the Horticulture Club of Agriculture and Forestry University. Two years ago, the last Flower Expo was held at Southeast Normal University. Xia Cheng was also the vice president of the Horticulture Club at that time. The basin of daffodils he sent was defeated by a pot of lotus flowers that Meng Zhou gave to the exhibition, and finally only won the bronze medal.
The gold medal in that year was won by the host Southeast Normal University.
Compared to two years ago, Meng Zhou, president of the Horticulture Club of Agriculture and Forestry University, has become more mature. He is not at all afraid of the reporter's long spear and cannon, and talks with a confident smile on his face.
"We came to this expo with a learning attitude. The flowers participating in the exhibition at the brothers' schools are very good, and there are many places worth learning from." Meng Zhou told reporters.
"Then what are your expectations for the several pots of flowers exhibited by the Horticulture Club of Agriculture and Forestry University?" asked the young female reporter.
"Of course we hope to win the gold medal. Although growing flowers is to cultivate sentiment, getting a good ranking is also a kind of affirmation for us!" Meng Zhou said, "In order to participate in this expo, we have also done a lot of preparations in advance. I believe that hard work will be rewarded, and we will definitely achieve good results!"
When Xia Cheng heard this, he had no intention of listening.
Xia Cheng and Meng Zhou are quite familiar with each other. He knew that Meng Zhou was actually very low-key. When facing reporters, Meng Zhou was able to say these words, which actually reflected from one aspect that they were really confident this time.
Xia Rufei has already placed the pot of molan on the booth.
The background of Sanshan University’s booth is the very distinctive “Fu” logo, which is also the logo of Sanshan University.
The entire booth is simple and elegant, with seven or eight pots of flowers placed on it in an orderly manner, and it also has a bit of grace and grace under the illumination of several spotlights.
The booth in the most eye-catching position in the middle is naturally reserved for the pot of molan.
I don’t know if Xia Rufei did it intentionally, but the pot of molan still hugged the pipa and half-covered it. It was covered in a black bag, and did not reveal its true face.
Xia Cheng's eyes couldn't help but fall on the booth of the Agricultural and Forestry University not far away.
Similarly, in their most eye-catching position, the pot of flowers was also blocked. There is no doubt that it should be the pot of Yang's vermicelli.
At this point, Xia Rufei and the other party were somewhat different.
The purpose is nothing more than to maintain a sense of mystery. In addition, the exhibition has not officially begun, and the exhibition area is full of students from major college horticulture clubs who have been arranged in advance. I guess they do not want to be spying on information by others.
After all, the flowers participating in the exhibition can still be replaced before the exhibition begins.
Xia Rufei moved a chair with a relaxed look on her face and sat next to the booth. The students from the gardening club went to visit the exhibition area in advance. Lu You and Jiang Yue wanted to see Mo Lan's true face, but Xia Rufei didn't want to reveal the secret so early, so the two of them simply went to visit the exhibition area with their classmates in disappointment.
The opening ceremony of this flower fair will soon begin.
Xia Cheng and others were summoned to the entrance hall of the gym to attend the opening ceremony. Xia Rufei was not from Sanshan University, so she volunteered to stay and see the booth.
The opening ceremony was nothing more than a resignation by various leaders. The reporter took photos, then went to the sign-in to collect the press release and car fee, went back and revised it slightly, and published it in their respective media.
Xia Rufei had no interest in this kind of occasion.
The students were asked to attend the opening ceremony, and the exhibition area suddenly became much deserted.
However, there were basically people guarding each booth. Xia Rufei's eyes turned to the booth of the Agricultural and Forestry University opposite and found that it was Chen Song who stayed.
And Chen Song happened to look over, and the two of them met, and Chen Song Trunk sneered, snorted and looked elsewhere proudly.
Xia Rufei always had a faint smile on his face and turned a blind eye to Chen Song's hostility.
Compared to fighting with such a little kid, Xia Rufei was more concerned about Chen Song's strange stone that could make the spiritual picture scroll tremble on its own.
The Flower Expo, which originally seemed meaningless to Xia Rufei, finally added a bit of fun to him.
Xia Rufei sat bored for a while and then heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the entrance of the basketball hall.
The opening ceremony ended and the students returned to their respective booths.
According to the schedule of the expo, before the exhibition is opened, the judges will judge all the participating flowers this year and decide on the first, second and third prizes, which are what Chen Song calls gold, silver and bronze prizes.
As for the process of mass voting, there is no arrangement at all, and the judges have the final say.
Xia Rufei is still very welcome to such an arrangement.
After all, this is the home court of A&F University. Most of the students who come to visit the exhibition hall must be the most of the students. If the students who visit the exhibition vote one by one, then other schools don’t have to compete. A&F University will probably win the gold, silver and bronze medal.
Although the judges cannot be absolutely fair, and the benefits of the Agricultural University's home court must exist, compared to the fact that this rule is now as fair as possible.
The members of the judges are also quite complex, including teachers from major universities, as well as some industry insiders, experts and scholars. It is said that the leader of the judges is Chen Dongbai, the president of the Southeast Provincial Flower Association, and the lineup is still very luxurious.
The judges will evaluate all the participating flowers and select thirty pots of shortlisted flowers. Then these thirty pots of flowers will be sent to the judges group. Everyone will hold a meeting to discuss and decide on a gold medal, three silver medals and five bronze medals. The remaining twenty-one pots will naturally be the shortlisted prize.
All selection work will be completed within half a day, and then the photos of the winning flowers, the names of the exhibition universities, the location of the booths and other information will be played on the large LED screen at the entrance of the exhibition area.
Moreover, there are also other award-winning flowers information to be played in scrolling. The gold medal flowers are directly topped and always on the top and do not participate in the scrolling carousel.
In other words, when the expo is officially open to visit, all visitors can see the information about the gold medal flowers at the first time.
It’s no wonder that both Xia Cheng, Chen Song, and the schools they represent all attach so much importance to this gold medal.
Xia Cheng and others soon returned to the booth.
Jiang Yue said nervously: "Brother Xia, the experts in the judges have begun to evaluate the flowers participating in the exhibition."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Jiang Yue, relax. The first round is just to select the flowers in the shortlist. If our jade lion can't even be shortlisted, how can we compare with others?"
Xia Cheng and others have different expressions, and they know that it may not be difficult to be shortlisted, but it is very difficult to win the gold medal if they defeat Yang Suhe of Agricultural University in the second round of the review.
However, since things have come to this point, I can only hope that Xia Rufei will take good care of this pot of molan, which will bring about a complete transformation in just three days.
Chapter completed!
