Chapter 205 Brandon Was Completely Attracted to Her
Brandon hadn't expected things to turn out this way either.
Since Finnian couldn't discuss it with him openly, he quietly moved closer and told him about it.
"Brandon, if that's not a cultural relic, she's going to become a laughingstock across the entire internet!"
After hearing this, Brandon's expression barely changed.
His deep eyes were fixed intently on Candice in the distance.
For some reason, after witnessing more and more of her abilities, he didn't doubt what she said at all.
"It's probably really a cultural relic."
Finnian looked helpless. "You trust her that much? I've never heard of her being involved in this area!"
Brandon replied calmly, "So what if she's wrong? The fact that she immediately called experts to authenticate it shows she has awareness about protecting cultural relics. What's there to mock about that?"
"The PR team I had you arrange, are they just sitting around doing nothing? Don't they know how to handle something this simple?"
Finnian felt Brandon made a lot of sense.
He immediately responded, "Yes, I was too worried and got confused. I'll go instruct them right now."
Finnian quickly went to notify the PR team to monitor this matter.
His team was highly efficient. Soon, many comments defending Candice appeared online.
"So what if the plate is fake? What's embarrassing about it? At least Candice knows about these things, do any of you?"
"Exactly! Even if it's not real, it just shows the Hayes family's craftsmanship is amazing. Candice having this suspicion clearly shows she has awareness about protecting cultural relics."
"Agreed! If it's fake, fine, but if it's real, it definitely needs to be handed over to a museum!"
"Getting professionals to authenticate it is very necessary. There's nothing embarrassing about it. Can everyone please be kinder with their words?"
As the PR team got involved, Uly's fans quickly followed suit.
Before long, all those comments saying Candice would be proven wrong were completely suppressed!
Because of the cultural relic incident, this variety show made it to trending news again.
More and more people flooded into Uly's livestream, nearly crashing the network.
Fortunately, the streaming platform quickly opened many more channels, barely managing to handle such massive traffic.
Vance was so excited his face turned red, and he couldn't help clapping and exclaiming, "This show is even more popular than we expected!"
Candice had no idea about the chaos happening online.
After authenticating the plate, she accepted Hayes's invitation to check if there were any other genuine cultural relics among his collection.
Candice naturally didn't refuse, but after carefully examining everything, she didn't find anything else!
However, by the time they finished, the cultural relic authentication experts had arrived.
The production team immediately went to communicate with them, discussing whether they could film the entire process.
Since the experts had been called by them, they naturally had no objections.
So, under everyone's watchful eyes, the experts began their authentication.
They were professional scholars who brought professional equipment. It didn't take long before the authentication results came out.
"We've confirmed that, as Candice said, this is indeed bone china from the Victorian era!"
As the experts' authentication results came out, the entire internet erupted.
[It's actually real? Candice is really amazing! I'm totally a fan now!]
[Uly's sister is so impressive!]
[Today's trending news is completely dominated by Candice. Is she really going to debut as a celebrity?]
[Didn't you hear Candice say her profession is doctor? She's not going to debut, okay!]
[Wait, she just looked at it for a bit and could authenticate that the plate was a cultural relic. How did she do that?]
[However she did it, Candice is just amazing!]
[My teacher watched Candice's medical skills and praised her. He said this is an ancient medical art.]
The online buzz completely exploded.
As for Candice, after hearing the experts' authentication, her expression showed the calm of someone who had expected this all along.
Hayes, on the other hand, looked completely astonished after hearing the authentication results.
"So it really is genuine."
To have such an authentic piece at home and not have known about it all this time!
He laughed happily and couldn't help praising Candice again.
"You're really amazing!"
After hearing the results, Finnian looked completely incredulous and blurted out, "My god, is she really this amazing? I never knew before!"
Brandon didn't respond.
Because he didn't know either!
At this moment, Candice had almost become the center of everyone's attention!
Only now did Brandon realize there were still many sides to her he didn't know about.
And each side was particularly attractive.
He realized he was completely drawn to her!
After seeing off the cultural relic experts, Candice and the others continued with their tasks.
It wasn't until around five in the evening that all the guests finished their respective tasks and gathered back at the production team's courtyard.
When Candice and Ulysses arrived, the other four groups had already returned.
As soon as she entered, Candice saw that Vesper's expression was full of smugness.
Candice just glanced at her without paying attention, and instead greeted the others.
After Ulysses finished greeting everyone, he asked about their situations. "How did everyone do with their tasks today?"
Pearl said happily, "We made handicrafts. The two of us earned thirty dollars, plus we got vegetables, fruits, and meat that the villagers gave us. Pretty good haul."
The Sawyer couple looked a bit tired, but seemed quite excited.
The couple had picked fruit all day, earning a total of sixty dollars and harvesting a large basket of fruit.
Phaedra and her daughter sang songs. Although they didn't earn money, they received warm invitations from most of the village's elderly, so they didn't need to worry about meals.
Pearl told Ulysses, "Among all of us, the group that gained the most was Xavier's team! He and Vesper performed together today and earned three hundred dollars!"
"Three hundred dollars? That much?"
Hearing this news, both Phaedra and Sawyer were quite surprised.
Because most people in this village were elderly.
Three hundred dollars might be more than a month's income for them!
Vesper smiled with feigned modesty, "We were just lucky. We happened to meet a fan, and because she was happy, she called many friends to come support us."
"But speaking of who gained the most here, it should still be you and Uly, right?"
Only Vesper herself knew how fake these words were.
She was feeling quite smug inside.
She knew very well the economic situation of this village.
Earning three hundred dollars was already the maximum.
Moreover, Vesper had secretly asked the staff in the morning.
The villager that Candice and the others went to do the task for was a disabled person.
No matter what Candice and the others did today, there was no way he could give them too much money.
So, no matter what, Vesper's group was first today!
