Billionaire shocks the world with his bad behavior
Chapter 200: She defies the heavens again?
Shen Lisu, who was ridiculed for not being able to even pass the initial test, got the jade, found an empty table, and started carving without hesitation.
The jades distributed in the competition are all the most common ones, and are basically only worth one or two hundred yuan outside. Because the initial test mainly assesses the carving skills, the key is to be able to carve more outstanding works under the same conditions.
These one hundred pieces of jade are almost identical and should have been taken from the same piece of jadeite. Judging from the color grade of jadeite, the lowest color is white, with only a few scattered points of green, and the water quality is also the worst bean-type.
The whole piece of jade looks neither transparent nor special, just ordinary. It is the kind of jade that a layman would not even bother to take a look at if it was placed in front of him.
"Huh? This Su Jin didn't even have time to think and started carving right away?"
"Tsk, what's the big deal? In my opinion, she knew she wouldn't make it to the final round, so she was late on purpose to attract attention."
"That's not right, is it? Maybe he really has the skills and can complete the carving in four or five hours?"
Perhaps because Shen Lisu was the last one to arrive, the other contestants had already finished carving half of the way and had a rough outline, and everyone basically knew their level, so they couldn't help but focus their attention on Shen Lisu.
If other jade carvers were stared at all the time, they would either feel uncomfortable or have selfish motives when carving, not wanting their unique carving skills to be stolen and hidden.
However, Shen Lisu remained calm and continued to carve at a leisurely pace.
"She seems to be carving a fish? It's quite vivid."
"That's true. Generally speaking, people would choose Buddha."
"But to be honest, her carving skills do look good."
According to the habit of jade carvers, in this situation, they usually choose to carve Buddha or Guanyin statues. After all, in daily life, these two types of sculptures are the most common and they are the most familiar to them.
But Shen Lisu just didn't want to follow the crowd. After getting the jade, she thought at first glance that the two shades of green would be just right for carving two koi carps, and it would be nice if lotus leaves and lotus flowers were added around them.
At the same time, Jin Yuzhou, the second master of the Jin family, who was asked by his eldest brother to "look after" Shen Lisu, also quietly appeared in the monitoring room.
He asked someone to bring up Shen Lisu's individual surveillance footage and watched her carving carefully, frowning.
This Su Jin's strength cannot be underestimated.
Shen Lisu, who didn't know she was being targeted, held the carving tools in her right hand and moved them quickly. In just an hour or so, the outline of the entire jade pendant came out.
"The lotus koi is so lifelike. Sister Jin is really amazing."
Sister Wu, who lives opposite Pushe, happened to come and join in the fun today. Her family is in the jade business, so she naturally pays a lot of attention to jade carvers. She originally wanted to find a suitable jade carving master to cooperate with, but unexpectedly she saw Shen Lisu.
"That's right. If I give that bean-shaped white base material to customers as a gift, they may not even take a second look at it. But in the hands of Boss Su, it actually looks particularly good."
In addition to Sister Wu, several shop owners in the surrounding area were also there, but their relationship was not as close as Sister Wu's, so they could only call her Boss Su.
"She completed a job that took others five or six hours to complete in less than an hour. Even if she has to do detailed work later, she can definitely finish it before the end of the first test."
Sister Wu and others, who were originally worried that Shen Lisu would not be able to complete the preliminary test on time, suddenly felt that they had been worrying too much.
Just as they thought, Shen Lisu concentrated on the carving. Time passed by minute by minute. She was the last one to arrive, but also the first one to finish.
"Huh, I haven't done it for a long time. I'm still a little rusty."
Shen Lisu glanced at the completed jade token in her hand and nodded with satisfaction. It should not be a big problem to pass the initial test.
Because the results of the preliminary test will not be known until everyone submits, but jade carvers can submit their works in advance. Ten invited judges will score them, and the ranking will be determined after the total scores are added up.
Although these ten judges are engaged in the jade and jadeite industry, they are not all jade carvers. They will judge based on various aspects such as carving workmanship and appreciation.
In order to ensure fairness and impartiality, if contestants have any questions about the judging results, they can apply for a review.
“Hello, I want to submit my work.”
Shen Lisu handed the jade token to the staff, then looked up at the other contestants and found that many people were staring at her.
That's right, as the last contestant, she was the first to submit, which was really a bit too much.
This is not how psychological warfare is played!
The staff placed her work on the exhibition stand and took 360-degree photos to ensure that the work would not be damaged for various reasons, which would prevent the judges from scoring, or that there would be disputes that could not be judged. Only then would the jade plaque be sent to the jury.
As the first work submitted, the idle jury naturally observed it very carefully.
The jury and the venue are not in the same place, and it is closed. They will not know who created the submitted jade carvings. This is equivalent to the anonymous system in ancient imperial examinations, and is therefore more fair and just.
Although some of them are not jade carvers, they have been dealing with various jade carvings for many years and have unique vision. Except that they cannot carve them themselves, their knowledge of jade carving is no worse than that of jade carvers.
"This jade plaque is exquisitely carved. The two koi fish are vivid, and the water ripples made with just a few strokes are even more lively, as if a breeze is blowing through a pool of spring water. It is very beautiful."
"The jade carver used relief and color carving techniques to perfectly accentuate the two shades of green on the white jade. Both the conception and the technique are excellent."
"I was worried that I would see a bunch of Buddha statues, but I was surprised by the first piece. It is amazing that such excellent jade carvings can be made from such poor materials."
Although the judges cannot see the situation at the venue, nor do they know who the participating jade carvers are, every word they say and every expression they make will be broadcast live on the big screen in the audience.
Of course, in order to prevent the contestants from having a mental breakdown, they are neither audible nor visible.
"Wow, are the reviews all so high? I remember there were a few judges here who were very strict."
"Haha, I knew Jin could do it. Look, the judges praised her highly!"
"That's what they say, but it may just be nice to say. It depends mainly on the scores they give, right?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, look, the scores are out!"
"How many points? Let me see! Oh my god! I scored 92 points!"
"How much? Ninety-two points? How is that possible?!"
Ninety-two points may not sound like a lot, but in every jade carving competition, those who can get over 90 points are the best. Generally speaking, above 80 points is considered amazing!
"My goodness, she is going against the will of heaven!"
