93: Raw Stone Auction 2

"CEO Gao, Room 1 is open for you." Boss Yu invited them to head directly to Room 1.

【Sister, although you cannot touch those jade stones right now, you can feel them with your heart.】 Fugui reminded her.

"Okay, thank you, Fugui." In fact, she could buy X-ray vision in the mall, which would be more convenient.

But Fugui told her that observing jade stones can train her mental power and also make her spiritual platform more expansive.

Although she didn't know what the spiritual platform he mentioned was, listening to Fugui was always the right choice.

"Little Ying, would you like to follow me to banquets and make an appearance in the future?" Fu Sheng asked.

"I don't really like it. You should take Yin Feng and the others with you. If there is a banquet hosted by an important figure, I will go."

What Gao Ying wanted was not to go and get to know other CEOs, but for those CEOs to come and get to know her!

"Ying Ying, are you going to the Imperial Capital with me this time?" Xi Yan looked at her with some expectation.

"Let's wait until next month. I will definitely go to your mother's birthday banquet then." Gao Ying didn't plan to go to the Imperial Capital so early.

Her business in Shanghai had just started; although she had money, she needed to wait until things were stable.

She believed that with the capabilities of Yin Feng and Yin Lin, a month was more than enough. As for Xia Yang, there was no rush; after all, he was a fresh university graduate starting a business, and he was already doing quite well.

It certainly wouldn't do to make him act like Yin Feng and the others.

The rough stone auction officially began. The first item, verified by experts, could produce sun-green floating flowers, with a starting bid of 5 million.

"5.1 million!"

"5.5 million!"

"10 million!"

Gao Ying was not in a hurry to bid. She followed Fugui's instructions and stared at the rough stone with full concentration.

Not long after, Gao Ying felt as if a vast expanse of green appeared before her eyes.

Her brain stung for a moment. When she closed her eyes and opened them again, the green color had disappeared.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Xi Yan asked worriedly, seeing her rubbing her temples.

"I'm fine. A Yang, 15 million is the most appropriate price for this rough stone. Adding more wouldn't be cost-effective."

Xia Yang nodded and directly entered 15 million on the monitor.

Hearing that it was Room 1 bidding, some people gave up on raising the price, but there were also those who chose to continue following.

"16 million." This was from Room 4.

In the end, Room 4 won the bid for this rough stone.

"Is this Room 1 the Fu Family or the Jiang Family?" An old man in Room 4 asked.

"Chairman Cao, this Room 1 is a young lady called CEO Gao, and it was arranged by Boss Yu personally." The old man's butler reported.

"Is this the CEO Gao who suddenly popped up at the Jiang Family banquet last time?"

"We are not on the same level as the Jiang Family; their banquets are not something we can attend."

"But fortunately, I had someone sneak in and learned some information. I don't know what kind of family background this young and promising CEO Gao has to be treated as a VIP by that old fox from the Jiang Family."

"She was even called upstairs by Old Master Jiang himself to discuss business." Chairman Cao spun the beads in his hand faster and faster.

"Grandpa, why are you struggling over this? Our Cao Group might not be as powerful as the Jiang Family, but since that CEO Gao came to this Jade Stone Pavilion auction…"

"Then we should go and meet her. I say that what that person told you might not necessarily be true."

"Think about it, the Jiang Family doesn't even bother coming to this auction, yet that so-called CEO Gao came running over. Her status surely isn't as mysterious as you think." Chairman Cao's grandson felt that the older his grandfather got, the more timid he became.

"She's just a woman. Even if her family background is impressive, so what? She'll have to get married eventually."

Chairman Cao hadn't failed to consider the issue his grandson mentioned.

The Jiang Family and other top-tier families generally only go to the Ding Tian Auction House; that occasion is the only one that fits their status.

But having lived for so many years, he was no longer as reckless as when he first started his business. Some things needed to be looked at with a longer-term perspective.

"You behave yourself. Some things are not as simple as you think." Chairman Cao warned him.

This grandson was always hanging out with some fox friends and dog buddies; who knows how many messes he had cleaned up for him.

His own son was useless too, knowing only how to go out and find women all day long.

The business he had worked so hard to build didn't even have a decent heir.

What a sin!

Afterwards, for every rough stone auctioned, Gao Ying would state a price, and if it exceeded that, she wouldn't buy it.

From the beginning until near the end, she had successfully bid for five rough stones.

"The next rough stone was personally selected by our Boss Yu; there might be top-quality jade inside."

"The starting bid is 500 million."

This rough stone was about the size of two basketballs. If there really was top-quality jade inside, it was definitely worth buying.

Gao Ying stared at the rough stone with full concentration. The green color before her eyes was particularly rich, richer than any of the rough stones she had already bought. It was indeed a good item.

However, the maximum price was around 3.5 billion; otherwise, even if she bought it, she wouldn't make much money.

"The maximum price is 3.5 billion." Gao Ying told them the price she could offer for this rough stone.

In the end, not many people bid, with only four rooms left that could compete.

The price quickly reached 3 billion.

"3.5 billion, Room 1 bids 3.5 billion. Is there any higher bid?"

"The person in Room 1 is quite impressive, directly raising the price by 500 million."

"I wonder which top-tier family is in Room 1."

"It's just a 500 million increase, why are you all so surprised? Haven't they been raising the price like this for the past few rounds?"

"And this Room 1 always stops halfway." A young lady was very dissatisfied with their discussion about Room 1.

A Dong had brought her here and then ignored her, telling her to wait for him on the first floor.

He said his grandfather was coming along today, and if she appeared, his grandfather would definitely be angry.

She was holding back her anger here. Seeing Room 1 always going against A Dong, and then hearing them discuss it, her temper just flared up.

"What do you know, you bumpkin? The background of the person in Room 1 is harder than all the other rooms; this is an unwritten rule of the Jade Stone Pavilion."

"Looking at her, she's probably a mistress brought by some young master, kept on the first floor because he's afraid his family or wife will find out."

"We've seen so many people like her, why are you talking to her? Anyway, it's just for novelty; she'll be abandoned before long."

"You're talking nonsense! A Dong loves me; he said he would marry no one but me." The woman stood up and shouted at the people around her.

"Miss, noisy behavior is prohibited in this exhibition hall. If there is a next time, we will have to ask you to leave." Someone immediately came over to warn her.

"How dare you! My boyfriend is the future heir to the Cao Group. Do you believe I'll have him fire you all?" The woman had experienced the luxury brought by money; how could she possibly want to go back to the time when she had nothing?

"Hahaha, you woman are so naive. Who doesn't know that Cao Dong changes women as fast as he changes clothes? Not a single woman has lasted more than five days by his side."

Hearing her words, those who knew Cao Dong burst into laughter.

"I am different! I have already been by A Dong's side for a week, more than five days. This is enough to prove that I am different in his heart," the woman said excitedly.
