v? p? 0??!?? n? b6-,n? hd? = 8?? e?~ The staff of the K Stage walked out of the exhibition hall in groups, and even Xia Ruofei went out with them. A classmate of the Horticultural Club was called by Xia Cheng, and he reluctantly stayed to watch the show. r
Sure enough, just after everyone gathered in the foyer and lined up, the staff of the organizing committee began to move out the 30 pots of flowers that had been shortlisted and lined them up neatly in front of the temporarily built rostrum. r
After a while, the judges came out of the office. Among them, Chen Dongbai, the leader of the judges, was holding a piece of paper in his hand. With a faint smile on his face, he went straight to the rostrum and sat down. r
In addition to Chen Dongbai, two other people also went to the rostrum, while the other judges sat directly under the stage. r
One of the two people on the stage was Vice President Li of Agricultural University, who had been accompanying the judges just now. r
When Xia Ruofei saw the other old man with a blue judge's badge on his chest, he couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't this Professor Tian from Sanshan University? r
Jiang Yue and others also found Professor Tian at the first time. Jiang Yue couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, "Youyou, isn't this your grandfather?"
Xia Cheng couldn't help but say, "Eh? When did Professor Tian come? "
Lu You said, "Mr. Hu couldn't come, so the school asked my grandfather to be the judge."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? We were worried for nothing … "Jiang Yue said coquettishly. r
Lu You spread out his hands and said, "I didn't know if he would come or not! He hadn't made a decision yet when I went out! But I told him that Xia Ruofei would come today … "
After that, Lu You looked at Xia Ruofei thoughtfully and didn't continue. r
Professor Tian was highly respected. Under normal circumstances, he would not join in on such activities. However, although he was late today, he was still here. It was probably because of Xia Ruofei's face that he was here. r
Sure enough, Professor Tian soon found Xia Ruofei and his group in the crowd. He didn't even greet his granddaughter, Lu You, and just smiled at Xia Ruofei. r
Xia Ruofei also greeted Professor Tian with a smile. r
Chen Dongbai, the president of the Flower Association of Southeast Province, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, cleared his throat and moved the microphone in front of him. He said, "Leaders, teachers, and students, after our two-hour closed-door meeting, the gold, silver, and bronze awards for this year's Flower Expo have been decided …"
On the rostrum, Vice President Li and Professor Tian sat upright with a smile on their faces. r
The only difference was that Vice-Principal Li was not a judge, so he did not know the final result of the judging panel. Therefore, his smile was somewhat nervous. r
Chen Dongbai continued, "Before I announce the results, I'd like to introduce the two leaders and experts on the stage. I believe everyone is very familiar with this. This is Vice President Li of our Agricultural and Forestry University. And the one on my right is Professor Tian of Sanshan University. He temporarily replaced Professor Hu, who couldn't participate in the judging panel due to illness."
Professor Tian smiled and turned on the microphone to greet everyone. r
The lecturers and students at the foot of the stage also clapped to show their respect. Professor Tian could be said to be a person of virtue and prestige. He was very famous in the academic world, and he was also an old expert who received a special allowance from the country. The bioengineering course he worked in was an interdisciplinary course with many of the courses in Agricultural University and Forestry University. He also had a lot of academic exchanges, so the lecturers and students of Agricultural University were very familiar with him. r
Chen Dongbai said, "Professor Tian is very busy. He just arrived at our judging panel more than an hour ago. If I had known that Professor Tian was going to participate, I wouldn't have dared to be the head of the judging panel. Professor Tian is much better than me in terms of academics and qualifications … "
Professor Tian said with a smile, "President Chen, you don't have to be so polite. There are specialists in the field! Don't worry about this problem. Everyone is waiting for you to announce the results! I think the students can't wait any longer! "
There was a burst of good-natured laughter below the stage. r
Indeed, they were not interested in who was the head of the judging panel. They only cared about who would win the award this time, especially the gold medal, which affected many people's hearts. r
Chen Dongbai said with a smile, "Okay! Then let's directly announce the winning flowers. The flowers that won the bronze medal of this year's Southeast Province Flower Expo are: Four Seasons Begonia selected by Egret Island University, Peony Blooming Riches selected by Puzhou Normal University, Calla Lily selected by Sanshan Engineering College … "
Chen Dongbai announced the five bronze medal winning flowers in a row. r
The teachers and students of the universities that won the award were naturally happy. Of course, there were also people who were disappointed. For example, the Four Seasons Begonia from Egret Island University had hoped to win the silver medal. They didn't expect it to only win the bronze medal. r
Among the five flowers, there was neither the Jade Lion Mo Lan from Sanshan University nor the Yang Suhe from Southeast Agricultural and Forestry University. r
Jiang Yue and the others were worried that they would hear the name of the Jade Lion Mo Lan directly. It was not until Chen Dongbai announced the bronze medal winning flowers that they breathed a sigh of relief. r
At the same time, they were a little worried. They didn't know if Mo Lan would be listed as a silver medal winning flower, or if she wouldn't win at all …
Xia Ruofei looked relaxed. He was still very confident about the Jade Lion. Although he wasn't 100% sure that he would win the gold medal, at least he wouldn't win the bronze medal. r
After Chen Dongbai announced the bronze medal, he paused for a moment, then changed a piece of paper and continued, "Next, I'll announce the silver medal winning flower."
The teachers and students below the stage immediately pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss out on important information. r
Vice-Principal Li, who was sitting next to Chen Dongbai, was also a little nervous. He wanted to take a peek at the results on the paper, but he had to maintain the dignity of a leader in front of so many people. It would be inappropriate for him to do so, so he just sat there with a slightly stiff smile on his face. r
"The silver medal winning flowers are …" Chen Dongbai paused for a moment, then said, "The daffodil selected by Southeast Normal University, the lilac selected by Southeast Police Academy, and … selected by Southeast Agriculture and Forestry University …"
When Chen Dongbai said this, he paused slightly. The students of Sanshan University's Horticultural Club couldn't help but have their eyes lit up. They shouted in their hearts, "Yang's Lotus, Yang's Lotus …"
If the Yang's Lotus won the silver medal, then their Jade Lion Mo Lan was very likely to win the gold medal! r
However, Chen Dongbai obviously didn't hear the voices of the students of Sanshan University's Horticultural Club. He smiled and said, "Melon Leaf Chrysanthemum!"
Alas! r
Yeah! r
The sighs at the beginning were from the students of Sanshan University's Horticultural Club, and the louder cheers at the end came from the students of Southeast Normal University. r
Two of their flowers were shortlisted in the final selection, and the relatively weaker melon leaf chrysanthemum actually won the silver medal. That meant that the Yang's Lotus would definitely win the gold medal! r
As the host, winning the gold and silver medals at the same time was really a great honor! r
Chen Song was the one who shouted the loudest from Southeast Normal University. He even made an exaggerated gesture of waving his fist in the air, and then looked at Sanshan University with a threatening expression. r
The students of Sanshan University were a little disappointed. They didn't think that the Yang's Lotus wouldn't even win the bronze medal. Since it hadn't been announced yet, it was most likely that the Yang's Lotus would win the gold medal. r
This time, they really lost completely …
However, their own Jade Lion Mo Lan shouldn't have failed to win the bronze medal … Was it because the teachers of Sanshan University didn't participate in the judging panel, so they were treated unfairly? r
Professor Tian had rushed over later, and he didn't participate in this work in the beginning. He might not even know that the Jade Lion Mo Lan was chosen by Sanshan University. r
Sitting on the rostrum, the smile on Vice Principal Li's face finally became more confident and amiable. r
Professor Tian, on the other hand, had a calm smile on his face. No one could tell anything from his expression. r
Jiang Yue was already tearing up. Xia Ruofei, who was standing next to her, saw this and comforted her in a low voice, "Jiang Yue, don't worry. The gold medal hasn't been announced yet, right?"
"But … the Yang's Lotus from Southeast Normal University …" Jiang Yue said in low spirits. r
Her eyes were a little red. Everyone had put in so much effort for this flower exhibition, and Xia Ruofei had miraculously helped twice. First, he saved the Mo Lan from the brink of death, and then he spent three days to make the Mo Lan undergo a complete transformation. r
She felt that Xia Ruofei must have put in a lot of effort. If they didn't get anything from this exhibition and lost the bet with Chen Song, it would be too unfair. r
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "As long as there's no final announcement, anything is possible!"
"Mm …" Jiang Yue nodded slightly. After hearing Xia Ruofei's words, her mood calmed down a little. r
Xia Ruofei narrowed his eyes and looked at the rostrum. He also felt that the results announced today were a little strange. If the Yang's Lotus won the gold medal in the end, and the jade lion Mo Lan didn't even get the bronze medal, this result would be doubted by everyone! r
After all, these flowers were going to be exhibited in the next two days. The eyes of the public were as sharp as snow! r
Unless the judges were blind, how could there be such a result? r
At this time, Professor Tian on the rostrum glanced at Xia Ruofei. When their eyes met, Xia Ruofei felt a hidden smile in Professor Tian's eyes, and his heart calmed down a lot. r
After a small hubbub and celebration, the venue quickly quieted down again. r
Because everyone knew that the gold medal of this year's flower exhibition was going to be announced. r
Whoever won the gold medal would undoubtedly be the biggest winner of this year's exhibition. r
On the rostrum, Chen Dongbai seemed to be deliberately keeping people in suspense. He slowly put down the paper in his hand, then slowly picked up the last piece of red paper and slowly unfolded it. r
Everyone held their breaths. r
Chen Dongbai said with a smile, "Next, I am honored to announce that the gold medal of this year's Southeast Province University Flower Exhibition is …"
Chen Dongbai looked around and looked at the nervous faces under the stage. He seemed to be satisfied with the effect of keeping people in suspense. He smiled and continued to say, "The orchid Yang's Lotus chosen by Southeast Agriculture and Forestry University …"
Chen Song had been holding his breath and staring at Chen Dongbai's mouth on the stage. When the words "Yang's Lotus" came out of Chen Dongbai's mouth, Chen Dong suddenly jumped up from his seat. He clenched his fist and cheered loudly. His face was red, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. Even Meng Zhou, the president of the Horticultural Arts Club next to him, was not as excited as he was. r
Chen Dong's cheers also ignited the whole venue. The area where the Agricultural University students were at became a sea of jubilation. r
On the contrary, Tri-Mountain University was dead silent. Everyone felt that they couldn't accept this result. r
They lost, and they lost very badly. They didn't even get a bronze medal. r
How could this be? r
This doesn't make sense …
Everyone's heart was filled with mixed feelings. There was unwillingness, resentment, helplessness, and confusion …
Only Xia Ruofei looked thoughtfully at Professor Tian, who was still smiling on the stage. r
Just as the cheers and celebration became one, Chen Dongbai said loudly into the microphone, "Students! Students! Everyone, please be quiet! "
Chen Dongbai shouted a few times in a row before the field slowly quieted down. A slightly awkward smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect the enthusiasm of the students to be so high. They didn't even say a word before they started to cheer and celebrate. r
Yes, Chen Dongbai hadn't finished speaking yet. r
He saw that everyone was gradually quieting down, and then he continued to speak into the microphone, "Students, please let me finish speaking! The quality of the flowers presented by everyone in this year's Flower Exhibition is very high. The overall level is much higher than the last Flower Exhibition two years ago. In particular, the quality of the two pots of flowers is about the same. They are both quite excellent. Our judging panel's experts and teachers kept arguing about these two pots of flowers, which is why we spent so much time in the final selection stage. "
When Chen Dongbai said this, the audience was very quiet. Everyone was listening very seriously. r
Chen Song from Agricultural University seemed to realize that something was wrong. Director Chen seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words …
On Sanshan University's side, everyone's originally hopeless mood was rekindled. Could it be …
Sure enough, Chen Dongbai continued, "In the end, our expert judges reached a consensus. Out of the two pots of flowers, one is Agricultural University's Yang's Lotus, and the other is Sanshan University's Jade Lion Mo Lan. In the end, our opinion is that the two pots of flowers are tied for first place. Therefore, there are actually two gold medals in this year's Flower Exhibition. The other is Sanshan University's Jade Lion Mo Lan! Congratulations to Agricultural University! Congratulations to Sanshan University! "
Chen Dongbai finished speaking in one breath. He didn't dare to keep people in suspense, in case he was interrupted by the excited students again. r
The moment Chen Dongbai finished speaking, the students from Agricultural University looked at each other. Why was there a tie for the gold medal? r
Originally, they had won the only gold medal and a silver medal. It could be said that they were in the limelight. Now, the most valuable award had to be shared with Sanshan University. It was as if something that originally belonged to them had been snatched away by someone else. Naturally, everyone was very unhappy. r
And the one who was the most unhappy was naturally Chen Song. He had thought that he had won the bet, and had even won against Sanshan University's Jade Lion Mo Lan. He hadn't even won the bronze medal! He didn't expect that the final result would be a tie for first place. r
Sanshan University had been at the end of their rope, but they didn't expect that there would be a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Their mood instantly rose from the bottom to the peak. The surprise of regaining something they had lost was much greater than directly winning the gold medal. r
"We won the gold medal!" Jiang Yue jumped up excitedly, then hugged Xia Ruofei tightly. "Brother Xia! We really won the gold medal … "
Xia Ruofei stood there awkwardly. He didn't know where to put his hands, and his body was a little stiff. r
A young and shy girl hugged him so tightly. The girl's delicate fragrance wafted into his nose. For Xia Ruofei, it was really difficult to bear the beauty's favor. r
Jiang Yue quickly realized that something was wrong and quickly let go of Xia Ruofei. Her face was hot. r
Both of them felt very awkward. r
Lu You, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle. Lu You's laughter made the two of them blush even more. r
Fortunately, Mo Lan won the gold medal. Everyone was overjoyed, and no one else noticed this scene. Xia Ruofei and Jiang Yue quickly separated. r
Everyone was laughing and fooling around. It was as if all the hard work during this period had been vented. r
