Suddenly, a young woman with a slim waist carried a tray onto the stage. The item on the tray was covered with a black cloth. When the black cloth was removed, a piece of jade inside caught Sheng Yang’s attention.
The surface of the jade was gray and there were impurities within. It looked very ordinary.
The experts brought by the big shots all shook their heads. The price of this jade was indeed not high. Its starting price was 1,000 yuan. However, no one was a fool. Why would they bid for this leftover piece of jade?
Just then, Sheng Yang suddenly raised her hand. Her voice was crisp as she said, “1,001 yuan.”
Lemon was dumbfounded. ‘Boss, you can’t be so petty, right? Just an additional dollar?’
Someone present immediately laughed. Then, a rich and fat middle-aged businessman stood up. He was half-mocking and half-teasing. “Young lady, why are you playing around at a place like this?”
The others present were also discussing fervently. Sheng Yang smiled but said nothing.
They were mocking her now, but they would cry later.
“I originally wanted to increase the bid and play with this lady. Forget it, she’s young. I’m afraid she’ll cry, so I won’t compete against her.”
“I’m quite protective of women too.”
“Men still have to give in to girls, let alone such a good-looking girl.”
On the other side of the surveillance camera, the staff was staring at the footage when they suddenly heard footsteps. They immediately stood up. When they saw who it was, their hair stood on end. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The person who came was their big boss, President Kang Lixing. He had a grim expression and naturally had a solemn aura. It made others subconsciously feel fear and worship.
Kang Lixing was here on a routine inspection and happened to see this scene. He did not see her but only heard her voice. When he heard the crisp ‘1,001 yuan’, he found it quite funny. For some reason, he thought of his niece. She also looked about the same age as the girl who spoke. His gaze could not help but soften.
The staff member was finally able to catch his breath. He was wondering why the aura around the big boss had weakened.
The jade piece had been successfully auctioned. The scene changed and the jade piece landed in the hands of a young lady wearing a black mask. It was as Kang Lixing had guessed. It was a young lady. Kang Lixing immediately frowned. Although she was wearing a mask, her eyebrows looked familiar.
Then, he smiled. That was impossible. His niece was a very obedient student. Why would she enter an underground auction?
He immediately dismissed the thought. However, his heart instantly warmed. He slowly said, “Return the money for the jade to her. It’s a gift from our auction house.”
The staff member said without thinking, “Boss, this is against the rules.”
This had never happened before at Weixing Underground Auction House.
Although 1,001 yuan was nothing to an auction house.
However… President Kang valued rules a lot.
Even if President Kang’s friends were here, he would settle the scores clearly and settle the public accounts first before he handed the money to the other party.
Kang Lixing glanced at him coldly. “I am the rule.”
“Yes, yes.” The staff member wiped his cold sweat. He did not expect President Kang to be so unreasonable.
When the jade piece reached Sheng Yang’s hand, she weighed it in her hand and suddenly looked at Lemon. “Do you have a knife?”
Lemon was stunned. Of course, he did not have a knife, but since it was his boss who spoke, he said hurriedly, “Boss, wait a minute.”
Then, he left.. Soon, he came back with a kitchen knife.
