Chapter 335: Chapter 238: Abnormal Counterattack!

"Eh, Miss Sui, aren’t you going to bid?" Li Yong saw Sui Yi casually looking at the rough stones beside her without submitting a bidding slip. Was she planning to bid later? It was almost two in the afternoon; it was better to bid early,"

Sui Yi had a favorable impression of the two elders in front of her and, respecting the older generation, she smiled politely and whispered, "I have already asked someone to take care of it."

Oh?

Li Yong and his companion didn’t ask who it was. After a brief thought, they understood why Sui Yi didn’t bid herself. They, too, were interested in the rough stones; otherwise, they would not have previously bought rough stones for jade cutting at the Purple Sand Jewelry Store. At that moment, they began to examine the rough stones.

However, these two were skilled businessmen, and their examination of the rough stones was indeed...

Soon Jiang Yun found himself infatuated with a rough stone that was a mess both in appearance and internal quality. Just as he was about to submit a bid, he heard Sui Yi muttering not far away, "With such creased and wrinkled skin, and the skin color being light brownish-yellow, forget it.."

Jiang Yun instinctively looked towards Sui Yi and saw her holding a piece of rough stone. His eyesight wasn’t so good since he was old, and he didn’t know the condition of the rough stone in her hands, but hearing Sui Yi’s remark, something shifted in him. He looked again at the stone before him, and well, it seemed quite similar to the one in his hands,

Elder Jiang discreetly put down the stone he was holding and walked over to Sui Yi with a smile, asking, "Miss Sui, you seem very knowledgeable about jade stones. Did your ancestors also engage in this field?"

This stance... looked very professional. Perhaps the jades that had surged in value weren’t just due to luck. Her keen eyesight and talent might also play a role.

"My family elders are farmers," Old Mr. Ye naturally came from a farming background.

Farmers?

Jiang Yun was puzzled, "Then, how do you, at such a young age, know so much?"

"Through reading or consulting others, I only have a scant understanding," Sui Yi didn’t want others to perceive her merely as a lucky person; she should at least pretend to have some substance. Therefore, she had acquired many books on the subject a long while ago. Her memory was exceptional, and she could easily recall certain pieces of knowledge. Additionally, with the notion of fortune professed, it was acceptable for shutting people’s speculative mouths,

At least it shouldn’t let people suspect that she had some extraordinary abilities,

"...."

It was another classic scholar’s response. Jiang Yun found it amusing yet poignant, yet he noticed that Sui Yi had quickened her pace in inspecting the rough stones.

Sui Yi already had over a thousand rough stones she hadn’t yet seen, so she continued her idle scrutiny...

Time ticked by, minute by minute. She soon reached a secluded corner of the jade area where the final five hundred plus stones were located...

But it was also the largest jade area, because all the rough stones here were extraordinarily large and had very high starting prices, generally starting from five million. Right, this was the Open Bidding area. There were three to four days available for examining the bids before the fifth day’s bidding.

Sui Yi casually glanced at a rough stone; its starting bid was ten million...

Starting bid of ten million, what would the final price be?

Sui Yi weighed her finances internally and smiled bitterly. Elder Tang was right; Open Bidding really wasn’t for everyone. Most of the rough stones were extremely expensive, thus more competitive. Once the auction started, the price could soar limitlessly.

Eighty million... She probably couldn’t even afford a marker.

Although somewhat disheartened, Sui Yi still planned to move closer to view the large rough stone, but she simply couldn’t squeeze through.

There were too many people.

Sui Yi glanced over and noticed at least more than a dozen people observing this rough stone that stood taller than her, either on their phones or making notes... they surrounded the stone completely!

Fortunately, she still had ’Magnetic Sensation’ to rely on. The more she watched, the more shocked she became; this rough stone, with a base price of ten million, was extremely expensive, yet shockingly, it was filled with black moss inside.

Yet, quite a few traders around her had taken a significant interest in it.

One cut could make or break a fortune.

As Sui Yi shook her head, planning to step away to examine other rough stones...

"It’s you again!" An unexpected scolding made Sui Yi turn her head to see Hu Jie, one arm hooked with a middle-aged man, glaring at him. The middle-aged man had Hu Lin standing beside him, and their features resembled each other, suggesting that this middle-aged man was probably the owner of Dongling Jewelry,

Upon hearing Hu Jie’s scolding, Sui Yi was unfazed and merely glanced at her before intending to walk away. However, the middle-aged man’s eyes sparked with a glint of recognition and he stopped Sui Yi, "Young lady, wait a moment"
