Chapter 188: A Competition! (Part 2)
Tang Yin nodded, and turned his gaze to Shen Ruoyan's face. But Shen Ruoyan was as pale as paper, biting her lips tightly and not saying a word.
When it comes to courage, she, a weak woman, is naturally not as good as Fang Zhi, but she is more ruthless than Fang Zhi. For the Shen family, she can sacrifice her life, let alone a hand?
Jiang Chengfeng smiled and patted Shen Ruoyan on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything! As long as you can take out these three copper coins quickly, our Shen family will win!"
Shen Ruoyan glanced at Jiang Chengfeng, and then walked to the frying pan with bubbles coming out of it. Fang Zhi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. This woman was really cruel!
Standing in front of the boiling oil pan, Shen Ruoyan smelled a faint aroma of oil and a faint aroma of vinegar. However, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating and she didn't pay attention to this detail.
Jiang Chengfeng walked to Shen Ruoyan's side, smiled and encouraged her, saying: "Don't worry, just do it! I'm still waiting for you to wash my underwear!"
Shen Ruoyan glared at Jiang Chengfeng, but the tension in her heart was alleviated. Jiang Chengfeng patted her shoulder and said, "Remember! Move quickly!"
Shen Ruoyan looked at Jiang Chengfeng's calm and confident smile, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and quickly reached her tender white hands into the oil pan.
"Ah!" Everyone present gasped. Fang Xinyuan was so scared that he covered his eyes and screamed. Tang Yin also closed his eyes, feeling sad.
However, the tragic scene they imagined did not happen, and no one heard Miss Shen's scream. When everyone looked closely, they saw that Miss Shen's face was full of surprise and ecstasy.
Shen Ruoyan was indeed surprised, because when she put her hand into the oil pan, she didn't feel it was boiling hot. In fact, the temperature of the oil pan was just the same as water at room temperature. For a second, she even doubted whether this was an oil pan?
Jiang Chengfeng laughed and said, "Don't be stupid! Hurry up and make some money!"
Shen Ruoyan hummed in surprise and quickly picked up a copper coin, then the second, and the third!
All three copper coins were fished out, but Shen Ruoyan's little hands were still intact, as if she had just washed her hands hurriedly.
It's simply a miracle!
There was an uproar at the scene. Shen Ruoyan, a weak woman, was able to fish out three copper coins in a row from the boiling oil pan and escape unscathed. If this wasn't a miracle, what was?
"How is this possible? How is this possible!" Fang Zhi seemed to be stupid. He slumped down on the ground and muttered to himself like a madman.
"Brother Jiang is amazing, raising the statue high and fishing out copper coins from the frying pan. I admire him!" Tang Yin bowed and said with a smile.
"Jiang Dazhu, I did it!" Looking at her intact palm, Shen Ruoyan's eyes were red with joy. She jumped and danced happily, just like a little girl of five or six years old. How could she have the demeanor of a strong business woman?
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly and thought, if I hadn't prepared in advance, if you went to fish it out now, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so happy!
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Fang Zhi suddenly stood up, rushed to the oil pan like crazy, and reached his hand into the oil pan.
"Brother, don't do that!" Fang Xinyuan was shocked and wanted to stop his brother, but he was a step too late. His brother's palm had already gone deep inside.
With a shrill howl, Fang Zhi retracted his palm, but saw that half of his palm was swollen and there were two large blood blisters, which showed how high the temperature of the oil pan was!
"This must be magic! Magic!" Fang Zhi endured the severe pain in his palm and glared at Jiang Chengfeng.
Fang Xinyuan found some sesame oil and bandages and bandaged his brother carefully, but even though Fang Xinyuan was very careful, Fang Zhi still howled in pain.
Fang Xinyuan was so distressed that tears were streaming down her face. Her brother's hand injury was serious. Even if he recovered in the future, he would still be disabled.
"Jiang Dazhu, you framed my elder brother, and I will make you pay with blood!" Fang Xinyuan wiped away her tears, stared at Jiang Chengfeng and roared.
The people present were also shocked, wondering if Jiang Dazhu really knew magic? If not, why was it okay for Miss Shen to take the copper coin, but Mr. Fang was burned when he took the copper coin?
"Miss Fang, please be responsible for what you say. Don't say the word 'frame up' casually!" Jiang Chengfeng looked nonchalant and sneered, "The competition just now was very fair. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. How did I frame your brother?"
"If you really want to talk about framing, I'm afraid it was your eldest brother who framed the Shen family? He used his title as the president of Huayang Chamber of Commerce to bully the Shen family. Everyone saw it clearly!"
Fang Xinyuan snorted coldly and turned her head away. Although she wanted to refute Jiang Dazhu, she had no reason to refute because what Jiang Dazhu said was true.
"What? Miss Fang is not going to take revenge on me?" Jiang Chengfeng laughed.
"Why don't you tell me why Miss Shen had no problem picking up the coins, but my brother got burned when he did?"
"Well, this is the wonder of nature!" Jiang Chengfeng pointed at the boiling oil pan and said, "Besides, I asked your eldest brother to be the first to fish it out, but he was afraid and gave up! And our Miss Shen, for the sake of the Shen family, is willing to sacrifice her life. How can your cowardly eldest brother compare with such persistence and tenacity? Finally, this so-called competition was proposed by your eldest brother, and now he is suffering the consequences. Isn't this retribution?"
Jiang Chengfeng's words made sense and no one could find fault with them. Everyone had witnessed how Fang Zhi used his power to oppress the Shen family, and this so-called competition of literary and martial arts was also proposed by Fang Zhi.
"Mr. Fang, what else do you have to say now?" Tang Yin looked at Fang Zhi with a cold expression.
The Shen family won both rounds, so there was no need to ask the third question.
"If you admit defeat, I will resign from my position as president of the Chamber of Commerce! Moreover, the Fang family cloth shop will be transferred to the Shen family free of charge. I will sign a written agreement!"
Afterwards, under Tang Yin's personal supervision, Fang Xinyuan wrote a document on his behalf, and Fang Zhi pressed his fingerprint with his intact hand.
Looking at the receipt written in black and white, Shen Ruoyan was naturally happy, but she was even more curious about the strange scene of fishing money out of the frying pan just now.
As if he had anticipated what Shen Ruoyan was going to ask, Jiang Chengfeng patted the back of her hand and smiled, meaning that they would talk about it after they got back.
Tang Yin handed the document to Shen Ruoyan, then glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Since Mr. Fang has resigned as the president of Huayang Chamber of Commerce, I suggest that while everyone is here, we should select a talented person to be the new president. What do you think?"
Chen Susu took the lead and loudly advocated: "I support Sister Shen to be the new president of Huayang Chamber of Commerce!"
