Chapter 352: Chapter 247: Active or Passive? _2

——————

Regarding Sui Yi’s direct provocation towards Xiao Xianting, it was false to say Gong Jiu and the others were not worried, but the indifferent attitude of the person involved influenced them and hardly anyone mentioned it, they were all preparing for tomorrow’s Open Bidding.

After taking a big loss in the silent bidding, this time’s Open Bidding was clearly more interesting.

And it would inevitably be more fiercely competitive.

As expected, on the day the Open Bidding started, the entire hall was teeming with people, and today, Gong Jiu and his group weren’t very lucky--their car had a flat tire on the way.

Not a traffic jam, but a flat tire!

What a tragedy!

They could only take a cab, but perhaps because there were too many people, they just couldn’t hail one, which annoyed Gong Jiu so much he nearly wished he could just pull out a pistol and shoot everyone in the head to hijack a car...

"How about I lift my skirt a bit, stretch out my leg, strike a POSE?" Flower Demon decided to sacrifice his good looks... and was getting ready in position~~

Gong Jiu and the others rolled their eyes. Was this the rhythm of soliciting in the streets? They would be sent straight to the police station...

"Miss, Miss, Miss Sui... over here, over here..." That unique loud voice reached the ears of Sui Yi and the others, and Sui Yi turned her head to see, next to them, a large fellow had stopped, and as the car door opened up, it was unmistakably Boss Niu with his trademark chubby face and big ears.

While in the car, the chatty Boss Niu cheerfully shared several pieces of news with Sui Yi and the others.

Such as how Sui Yi had previously uncovered jade worth over a hundred million at Purple Sand Jewelry and just yesterday cut open sixty million worth of jade, like someone saw Gambling Spirit secretly meeting Mr. Xiao last night... like Young Master Zou also uncovered two pieces of jade worth millions yesterday, like...

"Like old Niu here got lucky yesterday, bid on two pieces of rough, one without blinking—an ordinary green type, worth half the purchase price; the other one, hehe~~ bought for one million five hundred thousand, cut to reveal a spinach green type worth over seven million, good luster, Old Niu is going back to get someone to design it, that value will shoot up another two million, this is a big profit!"

"Miss Sui, this luck is all thanks to your shine! Old Niu’s luck is so good, so good! I even won fifty thousand gambling last night!"

Boss Niu’s fortune indeed made Gong Jiu and the others marvel; no wonder this guy was so enthusiastic towards Sui Yi, he almost looked ready to leap at her and lick her toes...

However, Boss Niu’s fortune was an eye-opener for them--it seemed like Sui Yi was on a hot streak!

She absolutely was!

What Sui Yi didn’t know was that after yesterday, both Zou Xueqin and Xiao Xianting had jade breakthroughs, consistently unveiling green—although both were capable on their own and had many jade cutting experts under them, they were still caught in the whirlwind started by Sui Yi, rumored to be because Sui Yi’s fortune was so good, that anyone who bought her jade had great luck too.

Especially Boss Niu, who didn’t know this fellow was typically a big mouth, big bad luck charm, buying rough and cutting jade always as dark as a pit since entering this business, never once turning a profit, but miraculously, he hit jackpot after jackpot yesterday!

Ah, the quirks of fate~~

So, as Sui Yi and the others hitched a free ride to the place and got off the car... it wasn’t long before Sui Yi was surrounded by people, pairs of hands wanting to grab at Sui Yi to rub off some of her good luck, to hug and kiss...

In their urgency, Gong Jiu reached into his jacket for a gun, and Flower Demon, rolling his eyes, flicked out a small knife wrapped around his wrist... (Eh, your reaction is too bloody!)

But it was Mr. A who acted straightforwardly, with a sweep of his gaze and a swing of his fist, bam! he struck right into the side of a nearby car.

Crunch!

A dent visible to the naked eye.

The whole place fell silent, Boss Niu stood dumbfounded.

Shit, shit, fuck! This is my car!

"Here, this is your bidding device, once the rough numbers come out, if you take a liking to any, press the digits on this, whatever amount you want to bid, just press it in, but don’t be nervous, one extra press and the number increases a digit, and the result... well, you know."

Elder Tang’s smile was rather chilling, and Gong Jiu immediately reminded himself to stay calm...

"It’s out"

As Sui Yi looked up at the screen, she saw a bidding number had already popped up, she was only interested in one piece, not considering the others, so she just watched the commotion, but Gong Jiu and the others had their eyes on several, so they fiercely competed...

But this time Sui Yi did not interfere; firstly, Gong Jiu and the others had already made some profits, spending a bit was no big deal, after all, reminding them not to overdo it; secondly, this Open Bidding was not that easy to win...

"Hey, snatched again, how are these people so quick with their bids?" Gong Jiu also prided himself on being a business elite, but in this field of Gambling Stones, he faced constant setbacks; right now, this auction also seemed ineffective.

His speed couldn’t possibly be slower than others.

"A single person can’t compete against three or four, they’ve set up many people taking turns to place bids." Elder Tang was a bit sharper and immediately spotted the trick.

"That’s so sly, why didn’t you say earlier, if I had known I would have brought a hundred people here..."

Even if it was a hundred people, they would still need to get in...

It was hopeless; they could only do their best, thankfully, coming to this Public Trading Platform had already made the trip worthwhile.

"Sui Yi, did you see anything you liked?"

"One piece"

Sui Yi was quite open, and upon hearing this, Gong Jiu and the others got excited and immediately asked for the number...

Chapter 249

"The number is..." Sui Yi was about to inform everyone when suddenly she frowned—why did her Magnetic Sensation sense a different magnetic field?

Turning her head, Zuo Wei’s gaze skimmed nearby.

Zou Xueqin, Hu Yuan, among others, and.. those men, probably from Old Goat Monster’s store, seemed vaguely familiar—although Gong Jiu and the others definitely wouldn’t recognize them; Sui Yi’s extraordinary memory meant she recognized them having seen them once, so she quickly figured out these few people, what were they here for?
