Chu Qiaoen was momentarily stunned. Sold?
The ten million she bid was sold?
Initially, she couldn’t quite believe it, then she was overjoyed, jumping up to high-five Yin Hu: "Brother Hu, I snagged it, aaah!"
After she was excited for a while, she remembered the number 16 raw gemstone Yin Hu wanted to get.
"Brother Hu, how did yours go?"
"Also... also got it."
Yin Hu grinned foolishly.
He didn’t have much money, couldn’t dare bid too high, so his final price was also lower than Chu Qiaoen’s.
5.5 million, the other party stopped bidding when he gave 5.5 million.
"I told you, that fool in Room No. 1 couldn’t seriously compete with us. See? When the price went up to ten million, he backed off, the big coward!... Ow, my mouth hurts!"
Chu Qiaoen’s mouth ulcer swelled up even more; in her smugness, she forgot her pain and blurted out.
Chen Long glanced at Yin Hu: "All your money spent? Happy now?"
Yin Hu snickered: "At least I secured the gift for Miss Gu."
Chen Long sneered: "You have a maximum of three million in savings. The remaining two hundred thousand five, are you planning to live on debt?"
Yin Hu awkwardly rubbed his hands together: "I... I hadn’t thought that far ahead..."
Yeah, he had been so excited during the auction, raising bids as if the money wasn’t his, but now that he’s calming down, he’s a bit worried.
He’s short on money, what can he do?
He quietly consulted Chu Qiaoen: "Um, Miss Chu, if I didn’t bring enough money..."
Chu Qiaoen casually said: "Just write a promissory note to the auction house, no big deal."
Yin Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
But what Chu Qiaoen didn’t mention was that the promissory note from the auction house had high-interest loans, which compound interest could be deadly.
Xi Rubao watched as the two basin-sized raw gemstones finally got snatched away by the opponent. Although there was a bit of disappointment, there was still joy in her heart: "Sis, I was just so afraid you’d bid up to eleven million... Glad it’s finally over."
Zuzi smiled sweetly: "No, the show isn’t over yet."
On the auction podium, Top Treasure Appraiser S suggested: "Today’s auction was so exciting, why don’t we invite the guests who won the raw gemstones to come on stage for a close-up view of the stone-cutting and treasure appraising, how about it?"
The hall erupted in cheers and applause.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of jade materials were inside the stones that were auctioned for ten million and five fifty thousand.
S smiled and continued: "Of course, we treat everyone equally. Even if you only bought a stone worth ten thousand, you are still eligible to go on stage and watch the live stone-cutting."
Xi Rubao was furious: "Deliberately, that Treasure Appraiser is definitely targeting us! Only our small stone is ten thousand, she wants us to make a fool of ourselves in public!"
Zuzi patted the irate Xi Rubao: "Baby has sharp eyes, you can see things clearly now."
"Sis, just wait, I’ll go and..." Xi Rubao said fiercely, but then changed her tone. "Ask if they can refund my ten thousand."
Zuzi chuckled: "Little grass carp, no need to save money for me, just have fun with the stone-cutting, alright?"
Xi Rubao walked out of the VIP room with a complex mood.
Enough, if these people want to mock or sneer, let them direct it at her, just don’t hurt her Sister Zuzi!
As Xi Rubao stepped onto the stage.
The crowd gasped in disbelief!
"Whoa, the boss of VIP Room No. 1 is a little girl?"
"No wonder she bid cluelessly and couldn’t outbid others in the end, turns out she’s an inexperienced little brat."
"She must have secretly used her family’s money to play, totally clueless about stone gambling, just messing around?"
The harsh words came one after another into her ears, but Xi Rubao held back her temper, not wanting to embarrass Zuzi.
She strode up to S with a serious face and said directly: "Since I’m invited up here, let’s cut my stone first!"
