He s Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 317: Why does such a beautiful woman have to open her mouth? -1
 

For the appraisers participating in the examination, the organizers had specially allocated a green channel, saving them the time of queuing up.

After showing their invitation letters, Tang Feng and Qin Yanan smoothly entered the competition venue.

Zhonghai Stadium already had a history of more than forty years; the venue wasn’t very large, only able to accommodate a few thousand spectators at most.

Now, many new sports venues had been built, and this old venue seldom hosted competitions—it was mostly rented out for various events most of the time.

By the time Tang Feng and his companion arrived, they found that the spectator stands were already filled with quite a few people, at least two to three hundred.

In the middle of the open space, many staff members were busy at work.

There was a rest area at the edge of the stadium, especially prepared for the contestants.

At this point, the rest area already had quite a few people in it, covering almost all age groups from twenty to seventy years old.

Most were male, with only a very small portion of female appraisers, and as for their looks… well, let’s just say they had a very good temperament.

It makes sense, after all, antique appraisal is a tedious job. Not only do you have to pore over a large number of ancient texts and professional books, but you also have to deal with a pile of bottles and jars every day.

The most important thing is that if you want to achieve any level of success, it costs many years.

Women with even a modicum of good looks wouldn’t choose such an industry.

Qin Yanan came as a spectator this time, so naturally she didn’t qualify to enter the contestant area and chose to sit in the front row of the spectator seats with good grace.

Tang Feng, on the other hand, went to the contestants’ area alone.

The contestants were either chatting in small groups or frantically reviewing professional books, apparently trying to cram at the last minute in the hopes of retaining one more piece of knowledge and possibly improving their chances.

No one seemed to care about Tang Feng’s arrival.

He also chose a spot in the corner to sit down with good grace.

“Which level of professional qualification are you here to test for?”

“I’m trying for the intermediate appraiser this time; I’ve been preparing for several years.”

“An intermediate appraiser? That’s impressive. I’m here to take the test for the junior appraiser.”

“Don’t be nervous. From what I heard of your understanding of antiques, you should be able to pass.”

“Thank you for the good omen…”

Many people around them were whispering, expressing how nervous they felt.

The main reason was that the rules for appraiser examinations were indeed quite strict.

Tang Feng had already listened to both Zhang Jicheng and Qin Yanan, so he had learned a bit about it.

According to the rules for the junior appraiser examination, the organizers would prepare ten sets of antiques in advance. Each set could contain any number of antiques, but only two in each set were genuine, and the rest were forgeries.

Contestants had to appraise these ten sets of antiques within a specified time.

Only if the accuracy rate was above 60% could you successfully obtain the professional qualification of a junior appraiser.

In other words, with a total of only twenty real antiques, at least twelve had to be identified correctly.

This difficulty was already high.

However, that was not even the hardest part.

The examination for intermediate appraisers ramped up in difficulty dramatically.

Contestants were required to have an accuracy rate above 70%, which meant identifying at least fourteen real antiques.

As for senior appraisers, the accuracy rate needed to be above 80%; contestants could only misidentify at most four items, with the remaining sixteen needing to be perfectly correct.

If you failed the assessment, there was no opportunity for a re-take; you would have to wait until next year to try again.

Tang Feng felt no pressure about this.

He had a scanning system that guaranteed a 100% accuracy rate, so there was no need to worry.

He had come today merely to go through the motions.

Just as he was peering curiously around at the surroundings, a woman’s voice suddenly came from beside him, “Heh, it’s a small world when enemies cross paths, isn’t it?”

He found the voice somewhat familiar, and turning his head to look, his expression suddenly became a bit awkward.

This woman was the one who had fought with him over the parking space.

Previously, since only her head was visible, he could only clearly see her face.

Now standing before him, he realized her figure was actually very good.

With a height around 1.7 meters, she was definitely considered tall among women.

She was wearing a loose outfit made of linen, giving off the charm of a classical beauty.

Of course, that was under the assumption that she wouldn’t speak.

The moment she opened her mouth, her imperious demeanor would completely shatter that classical beauty.

To put it in a cheeky, trendy saying: why does such a beauty have to go and ruin it with her mouth?

On good conscience, though her looks might be slightly less stunning compared to a beauty like Qin Yanan, within the antique circuit, she was definitely the ceiling of aesthetic appeal.

The contestants who had previously been chatting turned their gaze upon her in an instant, their eyes filled with admiration.

Faced with the woman’s aggressive posture, Tang Feng did not react.

For such overbearing women, it was best to avoid them whenever possible.

He was here for an examination today and did not want any complications.

Seeing that he wasn’t replying, the woman grew even more irritated, “Heh, when you were stealing my parking space, you were eloquent enough. What’s with the silence now?”

The surrounding contestants looked at them curiously, unsure of what grievances they shared.

Tang Feng’s brow furrowed involuntarily, “Miss, please get your facts straight— that parking spot was for public use, not your private property. If you didn’t manage to get it, that’s because of your poor skills, and nobody else is to blame. I’m neither your dad nor your husband; I’m not obliged to give in to you.”

He had little patience for such pestering behavior, and his tone became a bit harsher.

The woman clearly did not expect him to talk back, let alone so mockingly. Her anger rose to new heights.

“You’re clearly in the wrong, and yet you still think you’re right? Are you picking on me just because I’m a woman, thinking I’m easy to bully? I’ve never seen such a ridiculous man before…”

As she spoke, she got angrier, and her voice grew increasingly louder.

Even the spectators in the stands turned their attention to the commotion.

And the contestants nearby began to try and calm the situation.

“Look here, young man, she’s still a lady after all. Why don’t you just back down and apologize? What’s the big deal?”

“Exactly, why argue with a woman and be so petty? Stop being churlish.”

“What you said just now was a bit too much; it was uncomfortable to listen to.”

“This man is way too petty, with no sense of chivalry…”
