At this moment, Meng Yan was already smiling from the bottom of his heart.
He has figured out the Shen family's path.
After all, the rules of the Jade Association are too strict. In this case, it would be a good strategy to understand some psychology and understand the opponent's mental thoughts.
It's like two people being chased by a tiger in the forest. They don't need to think about outrunning the tiger, they just need to outrun each other.
After the second session, there was a short break. Meng Yan took the opportunity to go to the front of the venue, walked up to the Shen family, and pretended to be observing.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A tall and sturdy security guard at the venue stood in front of Meng Yan, blocking Meng Yan's gaze with his body and staring at him with an unkind look.
Meng Yan pointed to the No. 1 rough stone on the stage: "I didn't see it clearly just now. I want to take this break to take a look at this rough stone again."
Compared to the staff of the Jade Association, today's security guards seem much less humane.
The security guard's expression darkened after hearing Meng Yan's words: "No, the association has regulations. No one is allowed to approach the front desk of the venue during the break. Leave quickly."
"Otherwise, it will be regarded as a violation and punished by the organizing committee!"
The security guard put on a arrogant look: "Now we are running for president of the Jade Association. The rules are very strict. If something goes wrong, you, a temporary secretary, cannot afford it!"
"If the campaign is delayed, whether it is the Shen family or your Jia family, it will be easy for you to die hundreds of times."
A trace of doubt flashed through Meng Yan's heart: "How does this security guard know that he is a temporary secretary hired by the Jia family?"
However, Meng Yan didn't argue with him, and immediately turned around and left, not even glancing in the direction of the Shen family before leaving.
Li Mianhui was seen holding his cheek in his hand, staring at the No. 1 rough stone on the exhibition stand, as if thinking about something.
When Meng Yan saw Li Mianhui's appearance, he withdrew his gaze and returned to his position with a solemn expression.
Ten minutes later, the third test began.
"Meng Yan." Jia Baiyuan asked in a low voice beside him.
"Are you sure?"
"Uncle Jia." Meng Yan also lowered his voice: "The third competition will be held soon. Go up and choose number six."
"Then what if the opponent picks No. 6 first? What is the alternative?" Jia Baiyuan asked.
"No, they won't choose No. 6." Meng Yan shook his head.
"They will only pick number one."
Meng Yan paused for a moment as he said this, then squinted his eyes and thought about what just happened.
He thought of the security guard just now, and the unkind looks of the expert team standing behind the security guard, as well as the astronomical donation figures of the Shen family outside the building gate.
"Uncle Jia." Meng Yan spoke again and added: "If the Jade Association lets you choose first, you will choose number one."
If you don’t believe it, Meng Yan doesn’t believe that the Shen family can be so upright.
"No. 1?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jia Baiyuan's tone.
"Yes, if you choose first, you will choose number one." Meng Yan's tone was unquestionable and firm.
Hearing Meng Yan's tone, Jia Baiyuan stopped saying anything and turned his head to get up and go on stage.
"Now let's invite the contestants from both families to come on stage." came the voice of the host on the stage.
Meng Yan nodded to Jia Baiyuan: "Go."
After a while, Jia Baiyuan and Shen Jingshi stood still on the stage.
"Next." The host said while glancing at the expert group, who all nodded indifferently.
"According to the rules of the Jade Association, the Jia family is the first to choose the rough stone." The host made an inviting gesture to Jia Baiyuan.
"Master Jia, please."
Jia Baiyuan pointed to the jade stone at the front of the stage: "No. 1."
"I choose number one."
The host immediately asked: "Master Jia, are you sure you want to choose number one?"
Jia Baiyuan frowned slightly, thinking that the rules of the Jade Association have always been to choose to leave the hand. Once you say it, it cannot be changed, and no one will ask for confirmation.
The previous campaigns were like this, the first two elections were like this, so why did the question suddenly come up in the third round?
"Yes, I am sure to choose number one."
As soon as Jia Baiyuan finished speaking, he noticed that a staff member hurried to the expert team, lowered his head, and whispered something next to several experts.
Then the chief expert stood up and said: "Mr. Jia, we just confirmed the news. During the intermission, your Jia Fang personnel approached the front desk of the venue, seriously disrupting the order of the scene."
"After discussion, our Jade Association expert group believes that the Jia family leader must be disqualified from the competition."
"But considering that handling the Shen family's direct victory in this way will have an impact on the reputation of our Jade Association, we decided after discussion to waive this punishment and adopt the same method as the first round, allowing the Shen family to make the first choice."
"Master Jia, is there any problem?"
When Jia Baiyuan heard this, his temper became a little unbearable.
I didn't expect that the Shen family would be so shameless as to control the Jade Association to do such despicable things.
"have!"
"The Shen family has been chosen first for three consecutive rounds. This is blatantly unfair. I hope the expert team will reconsider!" Jia Baiyuan's tone seemed a little excited, but he still tried to control his emotions.
Meng Yan was sitting in the audience with no expression on his face, but he sneered in his heart.
"Sure enough, I was not wrong in my bet."
"The Shen family, with their methods, cannot openly and openly confront themselves in such an important election."
At this moment, Jia Yuer, who was beside Meng Yan, suddenly stood up from his seat, his voice very excited.
"That's right! Why let the Shen family choose three times!"
"There must be something shady here!"
Meng Yan subconsciously reached out to grab her shoulders and ask her to sit down.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he took it back again after a second thought.
It's okay to let this little girl make a fuss. It won't affect her since she's not a contestant. This way it looks more real.
"Ahem, Miss Jia! Please take back your words!"
"This is slandering the impartiality of our Jade Association expert group! You must be responsible for your words! We can ban you because of your slander, so that you will have no place in the jade industry from now on!"
The person in the expert group who stood up to answer seemed a little excited when he heard Jia Yuer's words, and pretended to be angry, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
"Wait a minute." Jia Baiyuan quickly stretched out his hand to signal the expert group not to get excited: "This is my niece. I'm not talking too big or too small. Please bear with me, everyone in the expert group."
"Yu'er, sit down, sit down quickly!" Jia Baiyuan looked at the audience and waved his hands to signal her to sit back in her seat quickly.
