Director Bai directly judged the outcome of this bet because he knew very well that with Huo Sining's speed, even if Qiao Zhenhuan knew some specifics about the antique, he could not match this pace. The competition was lost even before it began.
Qiao Zhenhuan felt suffocated, filled with frustration and depression.
He had calculated perfectly; as long as he won this bet, he could ride on Huo Sining's current fame in the country to make his name. Unfortunately, he didn't anticipate Huo Sining being so formidable, completely contrary to his expectations.
He always thought that Huo Sining's reputation was entirely due to Zhou Shitao's influence. But just now, Huo Sining's appraisal speed made him realize he was terribly mistaken.
His feelings were complex; his gaze at Huo Sining was filled with shock, bewilderment, unwillingness, and even a hint of admiration he couldn't bring himself to admit.
