666: Chapter 667: Special Commemorative Badge_1 666: Chapter 667: Special Commemorative Badge_1 The people around were practically laying siege.

Everyone was saying Jiang Meng’s gift wasn’t up to much.

But just then, Fang Enze exclaimed in surprise.

He had been silent before because he was observing the chessboard.

He knew that Jiang Meng wasn’t the kind of child to be impolite, so if she was giving a gift, it couldn’t possibly be an old chessboard, there must be some reason.

Perhaps there was something special about this chessboard.

Only now did she finally notice what was special about the chessboard, “Jiang Meng, where did you get this chessboard from?

Isn’t this the chessboard that chess grandmaster Ma Yunjie used when he won his first world championship?

He treasures it and would never part with it, never wanting to give it away to anyone.

And you actually got your hands on it?”

Chess grandmaster Ma Yunjie’s chessboard!

The people who had been making snide remarks were instantly silenced.

They all knew Fang Enze liked playing Go and admired chess grandmaster Ma Yunjie.

They wanted a chessboard that had been used by Ma Yunjie.

And this was his favorite one, Jiang Meng actually got it?

“Impossible!

It must be fake, I offered a hundred million to buy it, and Ma Yunjie didn’t agree!”

Lin Huai stood up and said.

“That’s right, I tried offering the honor of Empire Group and Xiao Corporation, but he still wouldn’t sell it.”

Wu Peng also said, “It has to be fake!”

“I also think it can’t be real.”

Zhang Qin’an said, “Everyone knows Ma Yunjie’s temperament, he’s not the sort to casually give away his beloved possessions.”

“It can’t be fake!”

Fang Enze shook his head, “This chessboard was damaged by an accident once, missing a piece, but it still doesn’t affect its use, this should be real.”

“Teacher Fang, nowadays people who make fakes have become very skilled, don’t let Jiang Meng fool you.”

Lin Huai said.

“Do you think everyone’s a cheat like you just because you are one?”

Xiao Chen said sarcastically.

“Then what proof do you have that this is real?”

Lin Huai said.

“What will you do if I can prove it?”

Xiao Chen asked indifferently.

“If you can prove that it’s real, I’ll kneel down and kowtow to you right here, today!”

Lin Huai said.

“That guy just now said he would kowtow too, but he hasn’t done it yet.”

Xiao Chen glanced at Wu Peng and said.

Wu Peng’s face turned red, and he kept his mouth shut.

“Don’t worry, I keep my word!”

Lin Huai said.

“Good, then just wait ten minutes.

The evidence will arrive soon, please continue giving your congratulatory gifts!”

Xiao Chen smiled and sat down.

“No, you shouldn’t.

You are attending Teacher Fang’s birthday celebration for the first time as Jiang Meng’s husband, you should give a separate gift, right?”

Lin Huai said, “When Wu Peng came for the first time, he also presented a generous gift.”

“Is that so!”

Xiao Chen considered for a moment and said, “I did prepare a gift, but I’m afraid Teacher Fang might not think much of it.”

“My boy, the value of the gift isn’t the main concern.

As long as it’s not inappropriate, it’s a good gift.

I, for one, am quite curious to see what you’ve brought!”

Fang Enze was now very interested in Xiao Chen.

Previously, Xiao Chen alone was so kind to Qin Minxue, he probably knew her identity long ago.

And since Jiang Meng could come up with that chessboard, it likely had something to do with Xiao Chen.

After all, he knew Jiang Meng very well–Jiang Meng didn’t have any connection to chess grandmaster Ma Yunjie.

“Okay!”

Xiao Chen smiled and fiddled in his pocket.

Seeing Xiao Chen do this, everyone couldn’t help but be speechless.

A gift just casually tucked in a pocket?

What kind of decent gift could that be?

It was too embarrassing!

Fang Enze also frowned, feeling that Xiao Chen was brushing the matter off.

“If you haven’t brought a gift, just let it be; there’s no need to trouble yourself,”

Fang Enze said.

“Hmm, found it!”

With a smile, Xiao Chen took a commemorative badge out of his pocket.

It was the kind of badge that could be worn on the body, a few bucks a piece from street vendors.

Xiao Chen walked over, holding the badge in his hand.

“Xiao Chen, you’re going too far, daring to bring something bought for just a few bucks on the street as a birthday present.

We don’t demand something expensive, but this is way too impolite!”

Lin Huai roared loudly.

“Exactly, it’s just too much!”

Wu Peng also nodded along and said.

Almost everyone around shared the same thought.

Even Jiang Meng was a bit curious; she really hadn’t expected Xiao Chen to prepare such a gift.

That was a bit too casual.

However, there was someone at the scene who noticed something unusual.

This person was from the city government.

He vaguely remembered having seen a badge like this somewhere.

It seemed to be an extremely valuable item, but he couldn’t quite recall at the moment.

But it was definitely not something worth just a few bucks.

Fang Bingnan walked straight up, snatched the badge, and was about to throw it away: “Such a thing, even the trash bin wouldn’t want it!”

“Dare to throw it and see, the consequences are not something you can bear!”

Xiao Chen said coldly.

Fang Bingnan really got frightened for a moment; Xiao Chen’s aura at that instant was just like a Demon King’s, making him shudder in fear.

Fang Bingnan, having snapped out of it, snorted coldly: “I don’t believe it; what can possibly happen from throwing away trash!”

“Stop!”

Suddenly, Fang Enze, who had been sitting there, pounced forward as if mad, snatching the object and even pushing Fang Bingnan to the ground.

“Grandfather, what’s gotten into you?”

Fang Bingnan was completely baffled.

Many people around were also baffled.

What on earth was going on with Teacher Fang all of a sudden?

But Fang Enze completely ignored their shock, holding the badge with both hands, his entire demeanor turned reverent.

He even knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the badge before carefully picking it up.

“Did Teacher Fang recognize it?”

Xiao Chen smiled: “This was given to me by a senior officer when I was in the military.

It’s of no practical use to me.

Hearing that Teacher Fang used to be a soldier, I thought you might like it, so I brought it for you.

Do you like it?”

“Like it!

Like it a lot!

I love it!”

It was more than just liking it.

For Fang Enze, this item was more exciting than playing chess with the Chess Master, Ma Yunjie.

“Good, good, it’s excellent!

This gift is the best one today, bar none.”

Upon hearing Fang Enze’s words, everyone was stunned.

What the hell, a broken commemorative badge has become the best gift?

“Teacher, are you mistaken?

Look closely, it’s just an ordinary badge, it’s not made of gold, nor is it diamond,”

Zhao Wen asked, bewildered.

“Yeah, grandma, what’s wrong with you, it’s quite frightening?”

Fang Bingnan also asked.

“You don’t understand, you don’t understand at all!”

Fang Enze laughed: “There are two types of gifts, one with a price, like the Sky Beads, chessboards, and Go sets you sent.

The other is beyond monetary value.

You think it’s ordinary only because you don’t know what it signifies!”

“What does it signify?”

Everyone was very curious.

“If you want to know, I’ll tell you!

This badge was crafted by the War God of our Dragon Country himself.

The owner of this badge will enjoy national benefits for a lifetime and may even receive the protection of the country,”

Fang Enze said excitedly.
