Chapter 303: First Move

m, his face growing colder and colder.What kind of man did Su Keixin have her eye on!Thus began a war of attrition between the two."That's enough!" Unable to bear the tense atmosphere between the two...Xu Zui Ning and Pu Yun Gu Xia went back and forth like this, and the auction downstairs began soon. The first piece of rough stone was quickly brought up.

Ladies and gentlemen, this rough stone is the first item up for auction today. As always, the starting bid is 100,000 yuan, with a minimum increment of 10,000 yuan. Those interested in bidding, please raise your paddles!

As the host's words faded, an eerie silence descended upon the auction hall. Not a single person raised their paddle to bid.

The auction of Longxi Shengjing stones actually has a certain pattern. Each auction is conducted according to the size of the rough stone, from small to large.

Then the first rough stone to be auctioned was the smallest one, because of its small size, it has never been optimistic about.

Although the original size and whether or not it has diamonds, or the volume of diamonds, are not directly proportional, there is still a certain correlation between them.

The raw stone on stage now is about the size of a fist. It's still unknown whether there are any formed diamonds inside.

Although everyone present was wealthy, no one would bat an eyelid at a mere NT$100,000. However, it wouldn't be worth the trouble to spend that amount on a piece of rock just for the sake of it.

Therefore, everyone just looked at each other, waiting for the host to announce who would buy the stone. No one seemed interested in buying it.

The host, of course, was used to it. It was no surprise that the first piece of rough stone didn't sell, and he wasn't interested in making a forceful recommendation anymore. He just, as always, prepared to go through the motions.

"Looks like there are no guests interested in this stone, then. No bids once! No bids twice! No—"

The host had called out the third time, and the small hammer in his hand was already raised. The auction for this first piece of rough stone was about to end.

But unexpectedly, a clear and delicate voice suddenly came from the central box on the second floor.

"Ten thousand!"

The sound rang out, and nearly everyone instinctively looked towards its source. When they saw the box number represented by the bidding card, everyone's faces became somewhat complex.

Because the auction plaque was placed in the best VIP room on the second floor, everyone couldn't help but discuss it excitedly downstairs.

Who is in this second-floor private room They're right in the middle.

"I don't know, this time people directly emptied the second floor at the beginning. We couldn't even get up there, so naturally we didn't know who was sitting inside."

“I think it doesn't matter who's sitting inside, anyway, it's probably just an idiot, right I mean, first editions usually don't sell anyway.”

"Yeah, spending 100,000 dollars on a stone is not just about having money or not, it's just plain stupid!"

"Yeah, probably the first time attending an auction, huh Didn't know that the first stone was just a formality. Estimated to be sold for 100,000 yuan and he thought he made a killing!"

At this time, from the outside looking at the box in the middle of the second floor, because of various screens blocking it, all people could see was just a bidding card that had just been raised.

But the girl's voice was just now clear and a little childish, sounding like a student.

Although one couldn't see who was inside, one could tell from the voice that it was probably a young girl.

At the same time, in a private room on the second floor, several gorgeously dressed girls were chatting while eating fruit.

The topic at hand, of course, was to mock the auction cards that were being displayed in the distance.

"You say this is some idiot Really, clueless! What could possibly be in this tiny piece of rock For 100,000 yuan, I'd rather eat imperial cuisine."

"Yeah, people can be a bit foolish, but look at the hand she's extended, the bracelet on her wrist is pretty nice! Yunxin, don't you think so"

That's right, Zhuo Yuxin and several of her girl friends are sitting in this private room right now.

Although these young girls couldn't see who was inside the private room, they were determined to laugh at them.

At this time, it was natural to include Zhu Yuxin, who was sitting in the middle, in the conversation. However, Zhu Yuxin was lost in thought, sitting there listlessly, not even hearing what her girlfriends were asking her.

"Graceful fragrance."

The little girl next to her couldn't help but reach out and pat her shoulder. Zhu Yunxin only then jolted back to reality, raising her head with a still dazed expression.

"Well. What are you talking about..."

"What's wrong with you"

Zoe's friend only then realized something was amiss with her, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"After you came back from that beauty salon, you've been so absent-minded. What happened"

Zhu Yunxin could hear her question, but she bit her lips tightly and couldn't say a word.

She only knew today that Xu Zuiying, who looked ugly and a little scary, was actually a stunningly beautiful woman, much prettier than herself. So she couldn't accept it for a while.

But this reason made it impossible for her to tell her own sisters. At this point, she could only swallow her teeth and endure.

So, she could only manage a strained smile before trying to change the subject.

"Enough about that, what are you laughing at"

"There was a fool who bought the first rough stone of Long Xi Sheng Jing."

One of the girls giggled and said to Zhu Yuxin.

"It's the box in the middle of the second floor, you can still see the sign she's holding up!"

Zoe Xin originally just wanted to take a casual look, go through the motions, but when she saw that brand, her face turned sour.

Zuo Yunxin clearly saw the hand holding the sign, a fair and slender wrist adorned with a sapphire bracelet.

Zoe Yin’s breath quickened. It was Rebecca's most prized bracelet, and the fact that it was now here meant that Xu Zui Ning must be in the central VIP room.

But this private room is the best location in this auction house. Xu Zui Ning came with Ou Yang Chu, so everything makes sense now.

Meanwhile, the host on stage didn't expect the first piece of rough stone to actually be sold. At this moment, he was also extremely excited.

This is truly a case of the eager beaver, selling a stone for 100,000 yuan is a good thing after all, so she quickened her pace.

"Ten thousand yuan once! Ten thousand yuan twice! Ten thousand yuan thrice! Sold! Congratulations to this lady!"

The applause from the audience was sparse and hesitant, with even some laughter rippling through the crowd. These jeers rose and fell in waves, refusing to subside for a long time.

In the private room, Pu Yun and Zhou Shuangqing were also incredibly surprised. Zhou Shuangqing anxiously grabbed Xu Zui'ning's arm.

"Zui Ning, how did you suddenly buy it! Senior Pu Yun said that there's no diamond in a normal first piece of rough stone, why did you buy it!" go as easily as that. What she had done to her and her child back then, one day, she would pay her back for everything!Of course, these words she wouldn't say in front of Gu Chi.Taking a deep breath...
