Chapter 354: Chapter 248: Eavesdropping! Missing a Two_2

However, Sui Yi glanced at Gong Jiu, who was actually quite good at acting.

"Sure, I think it’s worth the gamble," Zuo Wei said ambiguously.

Then a group of people started bidding fiercely again.

The price changes on the screen accelerated even more, rapidly refreshing, and the bid price kept breaking previous records, finally reaching a terrifying peak.

Suddenly, it froze!

—99.98 million!

When this price appeared, the room grew solemn for a moment, and after a while, Gong Jiu burst out, "Hey, just lacking two, then it would be a billion... Who’s this generous brother bidding so boldly~~"

Nobody made a sound.

Who exactly won the bid remained a mystery, but it wouldn’t take long for Zuo Wei and the others to find out since such a price would definitely crown them as King of Bids, and King of Bids transactions had a special ribbon-cutting ceremony, and stones were generally cut right on the spot—probably not many would be foolish enough to send such a huge piece home... after all, aren’t they afraid to attract thieves to chip off a few pieces?

So, Gong Jiu and the others could only secretly bite their tongues and chuckle in the dark, Elder Tang looked back and forth at the two girls and then at Sui Yi, looked for a while, and then smiled, "Well, I thought you really were into it."

"Just taking a look, not necessarily buying," Sui Yi smiled lightly, and the others laughed too.

The laughter, transmitted through a bug to some ears, turned into a long silence, finally morphing into a cold laugh.

Was it Old Goat Monster who got it? Sui Yi’s gaze swept across the faces of Xiao Xianting and the others, or possibly...

Her gaze drifted and landed on a group of people in the corner of the hall, and when she saw that fierce and gloomy face, her eyes dimmed— he had also come.

"Boss, sorry, we were too slow just now... someone got ahead of us..." Xiao Xianting heard his assistant’s apology and was unmoved, and after a while, he looked at the screen and said indifferently, "No harm done, maybe even saved some money.."

Eh? Weren’t you quite optimistic before, how come suddenly..

People reacted differently, but the auction hadn’t ended yet, there were still a few raw stones left!

The screen refreshed, showing the raw stone that Sui Yi was interested in.

You see, the raw stone market is changing every day, and indications were that it would skyrocket. Generally, stocking up on them wouldn’t result in any loss, so even if a raw stone looked like Thatch-Pit Stone on the surface, it would still catch someone’s eye. So if you expect an Open Bidding raw stone to have no competition, well, forget about it.

Like the one Sui Yi was interested in, so inconspicuous yet suddenly, more than a hundred people were competing, and the price was steadily soaring.

Gong Jiu and the others were completely unaware that Sui Yi was interested in it, so they had no interest and just observed the variety of life, A seemed a bit sensitive, glanced at Sui Yi and realized the girl was distracted, looking at someone else.

Was he wrong?

Time passed minute by minute, and just as the price soared to forty-five million...

"Snake spirit disease, just that piece of lousy stone, doesn’t seem that impressive, yet it still reached forty-five million..." Gong Jiu started to complain, Flower Demon lazily applying nail polish, casually said, "Obviously, in the Open Bidding area these raw stones have either looks or figure. If they lack looks, at least they have the figure and a birth certificate to rely on, buying them is always worthwhile, and Gambling Stones nowadays is like hoarding oil, prices rising daily. You hope it drops, just like expecting the whole world to ride bicycles, no chance!"

This statement was really on point! Elder Tang and others intending to stock raw stones sighed in amazement, they looked up, damn, the price on the screen had settled.

"Forty-six million and one?"

"Who’s so creative! adding just one million!"

A had been watching all along and then said, "I was supposed to stop at forty-six million, but at the last second... I added ten thousand."

"..." Gong Jiu, with one hand on his hip, laughed, "Then that poor guy who bid forty-six million must be really sad, huh? Just short by ten thousand! Ten thousand!"

"Ten thousand is still money..." Sui Yi suddenly remarked, causing Gong Jiu to nod as he stroked his chin, "Right, right, with ten thousand you can buy lots of Durex.."

"Durex? Who is that... your relative?" Sui Yi tilted his head, his features striking and expression faint, a trace of puzzlement between his brows. (Back in my freshman year, I was so naive, a real bumpkin entering the city from the countryside. When my roommate mentioned Durex, one day I couldn’t hold back anymore and asked who was this Miss Du named Le Si? Why do you keep talking about her... Such a classy name—Miss Du Lei Si—my roommate’s expression then~~..o(╯□╰)o)

Gong Jiu: "..."

How am I supposed to answer that?

Elder Tang and Yu Quan and the others looked very busy...

The scene fell silent again, proceeded by several more auctions, and then it was over!

"Let’s go,"

"Okay,.. pity we didn’t win any open bids, should we go eat or have a walk first? Hey, Sui Yi, this way, where are you going?"

"To send money."

"?!!!"

Elder Tang and the others were all stunned.

When they found out that Sui Yi had quietly and rapidly added ten thousand as they were all grumbling, decisively sealing the deal...

At the exchange, Gong Jiu gripped his wrist and lamented, "Sui Yi, that ten thousand you threw was really bold... That forty-six million guy must be in the bathroom right now, miserably wishing he were dead..."

"Unfortunately, I haven’t been to the bathroom yet," came a sudden voice, making Gong Jiu raise his eyebrows and turn around.

That tall stature and signature long legs.. really, Gong Jiu just rolled his eyes then: "Mr. Xiao, you walk without making a sound?"

"I believe the lady’s voice overshadowed my footsteps,"

"Are you mocking how loud I am?"

"No, I think it’s quite good... very healthy lungs."

"Of course, my kidneys have always been fine,"

No need for you to say!

Gong Jiu answered solemnly.

Then the expressions on Xiao Xianting and the others.. the assistant and others looked skeptical, are they being improper with their boss? Miss, do you really have to go down this route? Wouldn’t it be better to be as aloof and impeccable as Miss Sui?

Flower Demon supported his forehead... do you really need to make such awkward focal points for yourself?

But at last, it left Xiao Xianting speechless.
