After listening to Mr. Li’s suggestion, Duan Xiao’s body and mind were trembling, and this idea was too crazy.

There is only one chance, if he won, he will naturally win the supreme glory and completely step on the white leaves to ascend to the throne.

If he fails, he will not only become a big joke, but perhaps there is no other place for the domestic sculpture industry to establish itself.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

Stimulate.

"How about it, do you want to have a gamble?"

Mr. Li was like a devil who was bewitching the hearts, and his voice was tempting: "Win, flowers and applause are all glorious. Lose..."

"Done."

Duan Xiao didn't think about what would happen if he lost, he just wanted to win.

"Haha, I knew you would definitely give it a try." Mr. Li smiled. He knew what kind of personality Duan Xiao had, so he had such suggestions.

Duan Xiao's expression remained unchanged: "What statue does Academician Yuan want?"

"People statue, a foreign scholar..."

Mr. Li told Duan Xiao all the information he found. This was the news he bought after spending a lot of money and owed favors.

Regardless of success or failure, he is worthy of Duan Xiao.

Time is like water, time is like arrows.

The exchange meeting is about to begin, and Jinling on this day is still calm. In fact, for ordinary people, few people know that there is such a circulating activity.

Maybe someone knows it, but he still has to go to work and has no intention of paying attention to this matter. However, on that morning, cars drove out of the Jiangnan Library.

Groups of people came down one after another, greeted by the library staff, and walked into the spectacular building with brisk steps.

On both sides of the long red carpet are baskets of flowers, as well as reporters who take photos and videos.

Yuan Rui and the official staff, as the organizer of the exchange event, stood at the door and greeted guests from all over the world with a smile. Soon after, foreign old men with different appearances and clothes arrived at the library, which immediately aroused warm applause.

Among the crowd, an old man with gray hair and fluffy hair in a wheelchair and a big beard was particularly respected. Everyone next to him, as if stars were holding the moon, surrounded him and accompanied him as he arrived.

Seeing this person, Chen Daqi standing nearby, he whispered: "Bai Ye, the prototype of that... statue is here."

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded, and he also noticed it.

Seeing a real person, he was thinner, shorter, and plagued by illness for a long time, his flesh and blood seemed to be wiped out and exhausted, and his life was in lingering. However, this body supported the spiritual backbone of a country.

Although it is not time to make the final decision, everyone insiders know that if not unexpectedly, this scholar is definitely one of the greatest thinkers at the beginning of this century. Or in a few decades, his name will appear in textbooks from all over the world.

So now this person has received noble courtesy and no one has any comments on it. Yuan Rui happily welcomed the scholar, which also means that the exchange activity is about to begin.

At the beginning, we naturally visited the library and introduced various collections. From modern books to ancient books, we also had to exchange knowledge and study academics with scholars during this period.

The library is so big that it will take about an hour to visit. After that, there will be a symposium that allows scholars to speak freely.

Everyone took turns speaking, and it was gone in the morning...

So Bai Ye and others would not foolishly follow the rhythm of the army. Instead, when scholars and celebrities visited the library, they sneaked to the lounge upstairs, drinking tea, eating pastries and snacks while waiting while browsing their phones.

However, while they were spending their time, the lounge door suddenly clicked, and someone pushed the door and walked in.

Bai Ye and others looked up and saw a group of people walking in. They met and were stunned. The air suddenly became quiet.

“…Duan Xiao!”

Chen Daqi was shocked and stunned. The pastry crumbs in his mouth were sprinkled on his clothes, but he didn't know it at all.

Corresponding to this is Duan Xiao’s lost face.

At this moment, Duan Xiao had the urge to twist his head and leave. Fortunately, he restrained it with great perseverance and stood still.

But embarrassment and guilty emotions inevitably come to my mind.

"you……"

After a while, Chen Daqi came back to his senses and was very confused: "Why are you here?"

A coincidence?

wrong!

In an instant, Chen Daqi realized that this was definitely not a coincidence. Because he saw that behind Duan Xiao and his group, there was a large box taller than the man.

statue.

Chen Daqi intuition told him that there must be sculptures in the big box.

What's going on?

Chen Daqi was full of thoughts and couldn't help but frown and said, "Did you accept the commission?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Next to Duan Xiao, President Li said, "In addition to you, Director Yuan also entrusted us to make a statue for a scholar."

"Pooh."

Unpredictable, Lu Huaiyong scolded: "Li Sheng, you are actually lying in front of us. Director Yuan only entrusts Baiye statue. With his character, he made an entrustment and could not find anyone else."

"What's more, I don't think Director Yuan will know Duan Xiao."

Lu Huaiyong said disdainfully: "You will definitely want to use the same trick again this time and continue to touch the car. Li Sheng, after so many years, you are still obsessed with evil ways and have not made any progress at all."

"snort."

Li Sheng's face was gloomy: "Boss Lu, I don't understand what you are talking about. In short, we were invited and had invitation letters. Otherwise, how do you think we came in?"

"Born the guard."

Lu Huaiyong sneered: "It is not difficult to bribe a few people with your means, and come in unimpededly."

"Slander." Li Sheng naturally would not admit it.

"I'm still stubborn, then I'll ask someone to confront you." Lu Huaiyong stood up and said in a deep voice: "Li Sheng, if you are tactful, please take someone out quickly. Otherwise, when I ask someone to come and knock you away, you will definitely become a laughing stock..."

Li Sheng remained silent. Before he could speak, Duan Xiao next to him had already come back to his senses, stared at Bai Ye, and said with a sharp look: "Are you afraid? If you have the courage, you will decide the outcome with me. My sculptures are definitely better than you."

"Hey!"

Chen Daqi snatched Bai Ye and smiled sarcastically: "Why compare with you? You don't have the qualifications to treat us as fools, and give you a chance? It's not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but your behavior is a scoundrel."

"The opportunity depends on one's own efforts."

Duan Xiao was not ashamed, his expression seemed calm, and a light like fire appeared in his eyes: "I just want to prove to everyone that in terms of sculpture, I am no worse than anyone else, let alone lose to you."

"Then you can follow the steps, take the curatorship and prize-winning route, why bother with the opportunity to catch up on the popularity? After all, you are not eager for quick success or instant benefits."
