The village beauty and me!

At this moment, no one could understand Chairman Xu's feelings.

I was so excited and thrilled, I was so happy I almost jumped out of my skin.

If he weren't worried about Ma Zhenshan discovering any flaws in his plan, he would definitely have laughed out loud three times.

Chairman Xu didn't know much about Chen Huan either.

But at least he knew very well that Chen Huan's skills in identifying and distinguishing medicinal herbs were simply divine.

No matter how capable Ma Zhenshan is, he could never compare to him.

However, even though it wasn't very obvious, Ma Zhenshan still noticed that Chairman Xu's reaction was a bit off.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally nodded. "I always keep my word, and what I say goes."

"I just wonder if this arrogant brat has any objections?"

Before Chen Huan could answer, Chairman Xu took two steps forward and said, "He has no objection, not even a little bit."

"Let's start the match. It would be a coward to refuse to admit defeat after losing."

  

Ma Zhenshan glared at him. "Are you out of your mind with anger?"

"Even if someone among us is going to be a bastard, it's definitely not me."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Ouyang Ming, "You are the organizer of this exhibition, so you should decide which counter's medicine to use for the competition."

A barely perceptible, lewd, and cunning expression appeared on Ouyang Ming's face.

He immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll just point to a random spot."

After speaking, he casually looked around and then pointed to a counter about ten meters away on the left.

There were about a dozen kinds of precious medicinal herbs on display, and many staff members were standing inside and outside the counter. It looked quite professional and impressive.

"Kid, come with me if you dare." Ma Zhenshan turned around and walked arrogantly toward the counter.

A large group of people followed behind him.

Chen Huan responded directly with his actions, swaying and walking in the same direction.

Zhao Yaru followed closely behind him, looking relaxed.

Chairman Xu followed along, looking quite relaxed with his hands behind his back.

Feng Jinyan quickly approached and whispered, "Old Xu, is Chen Huan really as amazing as you say?"

Chairman Xu nodded, "I dare not say anything else, but I dare not bet my life on this match today. Ma Zhenshan will definitely lose."

"That kid Chen Huan is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to identifying medicinal herbs."

Seeing how confident and certain Chairman Xu was, Feng Jinyan also began to get excited.

He clenched his fist and said, "Today is a disastrous day for our association."

"But if we win this game, Ma Zhenshan's fate will be much worse than ours."

As they were talking, Wu Guohua followed them over.

With a dark expression, he said, "You two shouldn't be too happy yet."

"Didn't you notice it just now? Ma Zhenshan and Ouyang Ming were exchanging glances; there was clearly something fishy going on between them."

Feng Jinyan glared at him. "Can't you say something auspicious?"

"What kind of shady dealings could there be? Identifying those medicinal herbs in public, especially with randomly selected venues and types of herbs—isn't that fair?"

Wu Guohua sighed, "You women have long hair but short brains."

"You've been focusing all your attention on Chen Huan, and you haven't noticed that Ma Zhenshan deliberately let Ouyang Ming choose the venue."

"If I'm not mistaken, those medicinal herbs should have been prepared by Ouyang Ming and his team themselves. After all, he was the organizer and the one most eager to find high-quality customers."

"Think about it again. If these medicinal herbs were prepared by Ouyang Ming, and they and Ma Zhenshan have been secretly cooperating for some time, then who would have selected these herbs for them?"

Wu Guohua stopped there and didn't continue.

However, Feng Jinyan and Chairman Xu already clearly understood what he meant.

"No way, they actually cheated."

"I have to report them!" Feng Jinyan immediately prepared to follow them and expose the matter.

But the next second, Chairman Xu, with a serious expression, pulled him back, saying, "It's no use. Even if you say it now, we have no evidence."

"They would never admit it."

"Now that things are settled, there's nothing we can do to help them create a miracle; it all depends on Chen Huan."

Chen Huan still had a relaxed expression on his face, and with his hands in his pockets, he strolled leisurely to the counter.

"Come here, staff member." Ma Zhenshan waved his hand.

Exhibition staff immediately approached.

"Choose ten medicinal herbs from this list and place them on the counter for the competition."

Ma Zhenshan's actions were actually intended to demonstrate the fairness of the competition to everyone.

It was all just for show.

Wu Guohua's guess was correct. Ma Zhenshan had personally inspected every kind of medicinal herb in the counter, and he was even the one who originally selected them.

So no matter which ten you choose, just by looking at the packaging, Ma Zhenshan can tell what these medicines are, how old they are, and even where they came from.

In that case, it would be difficult to lose.

If he weren't afraid of being discovered, Ma Zhenshan would have burst out laughing right now.

He was now imagining the miserable state of Chairman Xu and his group as they left in a sorry state after Chen Huan lost the game.

The ten medicinal herbs were quickly selected and lined up on the counter.

Staff members also provided each competitor with paper and pens to write down their answers.

"Many experts and professionals who truly understand medicinal herbs are among those attending the exhibition today, so to ensure fairness, the final result will be judged by everyone."

"The competition will begin in a moment. Both sides will write down their answers on paper and prove their abilities," Ma Zhenshan explained, still nodding his head.

At this moment, Chen Huan had already begun to determine the properties of the drugs on the counter, relying on his excellent sense of smell.

Recently, his skills have improved considerably, and Chen Huan has become increasingly adept at using the internal energy within his body.

This further enhances the sensitivity of the sense of smell.

Since he wasn't far from the counter, Chen Huan already had a complete answer in his mind by the time Ma Zhenshan finished rambling on.

He urged impatiently, "Are you done rambling? Hurry up and get started."

"You're so poor you can't wait until dawn. Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" Ma Zhenshan glared fiercely at Chen Huan.

Then he began to fawn over Ouyang Ming, gesturing for him to give the orders.

"The match begins!" Ouyang Ming shouted clearly.

Ma Zhenshan calmly walked towards the counter.

Although he knew the detailed properties of these drugs very well, he still had to put on an act.

Otherwise, if we win too easily, others will notice something amiss.

However, his performance had just begun when he suddenly heard gasps of surprise from those around him.

"What's wrong? Did you give yourself away?" Ma Zhenshan asked, a hint of nervousness creeping in.

Subconsciously, I looked in the direction everyone was looking.

To their surprise, Chen Huan hadn't even reached the counter yet, but he was already scribbling and drawing in his notebook.

"He's writing down the answers, has this kid gone mad?"
