Although this result was expected, after Professor Tian said it out loud, it still caused a small commotion in the audience.
Especially on the side of Agricultural University, some students who were hiding in the crowd deliberately made a ruckus.
"Eh …"
"This is an unfair victory …"
Vice-Principal Li saw the chaotic scene, but he didn't say anything to stop it. Instead, he allowed the students to make a ruckus.
Chen Dongbai frowned and said loudly, "Every judge has their own independent judgment. No matter which side they voted for, they must have their own reasons! Moreover … "
Speaking up to this point, Chen Dongbai's gaze fell on one of the judges and he continued, "Agricultural University's Professor Lu is also a member of the judging panel. I believe that Professor Lu's vote should be for Agricultural University's Yang Suhe, right?"
Chen Dongbai couldn't stand it anymore. Before the vote, they didn't ask to withdraw. Moreover, Tri-Mountain University and Agricultural University both had one person on the judging panel, so it was very fair. Now that the voting results were out and they lost, they started to make a fuss about the composition of the judging panel. Wasn't this a sign that they couldn't afford to lose?
Agricultural University's Professor Lu looked a little embarrassed. He stuttered for a long time and didn't say anything. However, no one was stupid. With one look, they knew that Professor Lu must have voted for Agricultural University.
In fact, this was human nature. Even if he did, no one would say anything.
However, in this way, it was reasonable for Professor Tian to vote for Tri-Mountain University. Objectively speaking, both sides had one vote each, so it didn't affect the result at all.
The people from Agricultural University deliberately made a ruckus just now, so they obviously had some bad intentions.
Vice-Principal Li saw how direct Chen Dongbai was and felt a little embarrassed. He knew that he had to say something at this time. Otherwise, Agricultural University would lose again and again.
However, before Vice-Principal Li could say anything, Professor Tian, who had always had a kind smile on his face, spoke first.
Professor Tian smiled and walked up to the stage. He said, "Teachers and students, I didn't expect that a small bet between students from two universities would cause such a big commotion. Since Professor Ren called my name, I'll say a few words!"
The teachers and students below the stage suddenly quieted down. Everyone focused their attention on the stage.
Professor Tian had a bright smile on his face as he said unhurriedly, "It is impossible to say that there are no emotional factors involved in this vote. I have worked at Sanshan University for decades, and to be honest, this Jade Lion Orchid belongs to my granddaughter."
Professor Tian's words didn't cause much of a reaction. After all, the situation was already very clear. Tri-Mountain University didn't have any advantage in the voting.
On the contrary, Professor Tian's straightforward words won the admiration of many people from the bottom of their hearts.
Professor Tian continued, "But before the vote, I did seriously compare the two pots of orchids. Objectively speaking, whether it's this jade lion pot or the Yang's Lotus, which Agricultural University chose to give to us, they are both exquisite orchids. In terms of artistic value, ornamental value, and even market value, the two pots of flowers should be about the same."
Professor Tian spoke unhurriedly. The teachers and students below the stage listened very seriously. They knew that a respected senior like Professor Tian wouldn't just go on stage and say a few words. There was bound to be more to it.
Sure enough, Professor Tian paused for a moment before he continued, "But in the end, emotional factors didn't play a big role in my decision. After a serious comparison, I still think that this Jade Lion pot is slightly better! "
When Professor Tian said this, the people from Agricultural University naturally couldn't accept it. As a leader, Vice-Principal Li couldn't say anything, but one of the leading teachers couldn't help but ask, "Professor Tian, you just said that the two pots of flowers were about the same in all aspects. What exactly made you think that this Jade Lion pot was slightly better?"
Vice-Principal Li looked at the teacher approvingly. This was what he wanted to say, but because of his status, he couldn't ask. This teacher helped him throw out the question.
Professor Tian smiled and said, "Orchids are known as the gentleman of flowers. Everyone appreciates their elegant and beautiful leaves, their elegant and graceful flowers, and their pure and deep fragrance that seeps into the heart of people. They are the symbol of character and the portrayal of strength of character. The ancients used orchids as an important way to cultivate their temperament and cultivate their moral character. In my opinion, the most precious thing about orchids is their noble and noble charm. "
At this point, Professor Tian pointed at the jade lion pot on the stage and said, "Everyone can carefully compare it. This jade lion pot, Mo Lan, is full of natural charm. No matter from which angle we look at it, we can feel her natural quality and elegant charm. In comparison, although this pot of Yang's Lotus is also very beautiful and very ornamental, it is a bit more artificial than the jade lion and lacks some natural charm. "
The teachers and students below the stage listened very carefully. Those who could come to this Expo must have a certain degree of professional ability. At the very least, they had a strong interest in gardening. After Professor Tian finished speaking, everyone naturally looked at the two pots of orchids.
After careful comparison, the more they looked, the more they felt that Professor Tian's words made sense.
Jade Lion was like a naturally beautiful young girl without makeup, while Yang's Su He was more like a well-dressed young lady. She was beautiful, but she lacked the otherworldly aura of Jade Lion that was untainted by the mortal world.
Carefully thinking about Professor Tian's words, many teachers and students below the stage showed thoughtful expressions.
At this time, the president of the Flower Association, Chen Dongbai, also stood up and walked to the stage. He smiled and said, "Professor Tian and I can be said to be in agreement. My vote is actually for the Jade Lion, and the bonus point in my heart is also her noble and elegant charm!"
Just as Chen Dongbai finished speaking, another two judges laughed and stood up at the same time. One of them said, "President Chen, Professor Tian, it seems like great minds think alike! Old Zheng and I were also attracted by the Jade Lion's charm and finally voted for her … "
The expressions of the teachers and students below the stage became a little interesting.
There were a total of eleven judges, and four of them had already clearly said that they voted for the Jade Lion, and the reason was the same.
Most importantly, these four judges could be said to be important figures in the judging panel. Professor Tian and Chen Dongbai were needless to say, and the two judges who stood up behind them were also well-known experts in the industry.
In contrast, the remaining seven judges who didn't say which side they voted for, four of them were teachers from major universities. Their professionalism and authority were definitely not as good as Professor Tian and the other three.
In other words, although the voting results seemed to be a narrow victory for Tri-Mountain University, in fact, the weight of the votes that Tri-Mountain University received was obviously more than that of Agricultural and Forestry University.
