59: Chapter 059 Auction

Many n’s gazes lingered on her sensual, delicate body, looking her up and down.

However, they all knew Lin Wanqing’s identity, so even though they were covetous, they didn’t dare to be presumptuous with her.

Next to Lin Wanqing stood another graceful figure, which was Lin ngyao.

She had walked ahead of Chen Feng and Wu Kun, and therefore found Wanqing first.

Seeing this, Chen Feng and Wu Kun exchanged a smile, and without hesitation, walked over to Lin Wanqing and Lin ngyao’s side.

“You’ve arrived!” Lin Wanqing smiled and greeted Chen Feng as he approached.

“Yeah!” Chen Feng nodded.

“The auction is about to start, let’s wait until it ends, and then I’ll help you,” Lin Wanqing looked back at Lin ngyao who also stood by her side, and then whispered to Chen Feng.

Due to the close distance, Lin ngyao heard her anyway.

She looked at Lin Wanqing with a puzzled face, blinked her eyes, and asked, “Sister, what are you two talking about?

What are you helping him with?”

“It’s nothing!” Lin Wanqing replied with a smile and shook her head.

Lin ngyao, seeing this reaction, frowned.

Although she tended to trust her sister’s words, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that sothing was amiss.

But she didn’t dwell on it much because the auction happened to start at that mont.

A staff mber dressed in blue work clothes pushed a small cart over from a distance.

On the cart was a jade rough stone about half as tall as a person.

This imdiately caught everyone’s attention.

Not only that, but there was also a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, looking very neat, walking alongside the worker.

He was the auctioneer for this jade rough stone auction, and this event was under his full charge.

Once the auctioneer arrived in front of everyone, he greeted them with a smile, “Hello, everyone, I am the auctioneer for this auction.

I believe all of you have waited a long ti, and must be very eager, right?

Well, let’s not beat around the bush.

I announce that the auction officially starts now, and our first item to be presented is this jade rough stone!”

After finishing his speech, he signaled the worker with a wave of his hand.

The worker quickly pushed the cart, bringing the jade rough stone in front of the audience.

Then, the auctioneer walked next to the jade rough stone, pointed at it, and addressed the crowd, “Among those present here, more than half are in the Jade Company business, right?

Then surely you all must be very familiar with rough stones.”

“So, for this jade rough stone, I won’t go into too much detail.

You can see for yourselves its color and patterns.

I won’t say much else except for the stone’s exterior, which is thoroughly green.

Just by that, I dare to assert that there will definitely be jade inside, and not a small amount either!”

After hearing the auctioneer’s words, everyone hurried forward to carefully inspect the jade rough stone.

Upon closer inspection, they found it to be true.

The patterns on the surface of the rough stone were very clear, and the whole body shone with green, indicating the presence of high-quality jade.

Seeing this, everyone’s minds were stirred, and their eyes glinted with excitent at the prospect of obtaining the rough stone.

After all, the rough stone’s appearance was indeed appealing; it seed destined to produce high-quality green jade.

As long as one secured the stone, it would an a profit.

Who would want to miss out on such an easy opportunity to make money?

The auctioneer, seeing everyone’s eagerness, smiled with satisfaction, as this was precisely the effect he wanted.

Therefore, he didn’t dilly-dally and directly said, “Alright, everyone has taken a good look, so let’s start now.

The starting price for this jade rough stone is 2 million yuan, with each incrent no less than 500,000.

The auction officially begins!”

With the auctioneer’s announcent, the crowd imdiately began to call out their bids.

The price of the rough stone surged, and in no ti, it had reached a high of 8 million, a full four tis higher than the starting bid.

This made the auctioneer’s heart blossom with joy, for the higher the price of the rough stone went, the more commission he would naturally earn.

Therefore, he tirelessly praised how excellent the rough stone was and how much jade it could yield, trying to entice more people to bid.

His efforts were indeed effective, as many people joined the bidding war, quickly pushing the price of the rough stone to 15 million.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing too prepared to make a move, and she intended to take it directly.

So, she declared, “20 million!”

As Lin Wanqing made her offer, the entire venue fell silent, because she had raised the price by 5 million in one go, causing so of the smaller Jade Company bosses with less financial strength to hesitate.

After all, their total net worth was only tens of millions.

If the bidding increased by hundreds of thousands or millions, they could still afford to play.

But with a sudden increase of 5 million, they really didn’t feel like following suit.

However, their reluctance did not an that everyone was out of the ga—there were a few powerful Jade Company bosses who continued to compete with Lin Wanqing.

This caused Lin Wanqing’s brows to furrow slightly, and she prepared to raise the bid again.

Seeing this, Chen Feng asked with so doubt, “Are you that sure this stone will produce jade?”

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly and said, “Gambling on stones is completely a matter of luck.

This rough stone looks promising, with a good chance of revealing high-quality green jade.

As for a 100% guarantee, unless soone has X-ray vision to see through it, no one can be certain.”

After speaking, she ignored Chen Feng and continued to make her bids.

Chen Feng, however, frowned and mulled over Lin Wanqing’s words carefully.

Unless soone has X-ray vision to see through it?

Didn’t he possess that very X-ray vision?

With that thought, Chen Feng focused his mind, activated his X-ray vision, and looked directly at the hotly contested rough stone.

With one look, Chen Feng found that his X-ray vision indeed allowed him to see through the rough stone.

However, when Chen Feng saw the internal situation of the rough stone, he was dumbfounded.

He saw that the rough stone, which appeared to be translucent green on the outside, was actually all rock inside, without a hint of jade—it was a pure waste stone, a complete fake.

Spending tens of millions on it would indeed lead to a huge loss.

Thinking this, Chen Feng quickly turned his head to look at Lin Wanqing, ready to alert her.

But before Chen Feng could speak, Lin Wanqing had already bid, “30 million!”

With that, the entire venue fell silent once more, even those Jade Company bosses who had been competing with Lin Wanqing earlier remained quiet.

After all, 30 million was truly beyond their tolerance.

Seeing this, the auctioneer knew it was almost settled, but still he looked around at the crowd and asked, “Does anyone else want to bid?

If not, this exquisite rough stone will belong to this lady here!”

Having said this, the auctioneer looked at the crowd, hoping that soone would step forward to continue the competition.

Chen Feng realized he couldn’t hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said to Lin Wanqing, “Director Lin, you can’t buy this stone!”
