After that person finished speaking, he raised the sign and placed a bid. “I’ll pay 8 million yuan!”

8 million yuan!

This amount could buy more than one house. People loved beautiful things, but the most beautiful and top-notch jewelry were rare to find.

The reason was very simple. Because the price was too high, ordinary people were simply unable to pay this price.

This was why such exquisite accessories could only be seen at auctions.

Qiao Sisi understood such extravagant behavior. She loved beautiful jewelry and also loved to appear beautiful.

That was why she became a jewelry designer.

“Zheng Zeyi, are you not buying?” There was an unusual silence beside them. Qiao Sisi asked, breaking the silence in the room.

Zheng Zeyi bought the bracelet just now. This set of sapphire jewelry was of even higher quality. He should be willing to pay…

Faced with Qiao Sisi’s speculation, Zheng Zeyi pursed his lips and smiled. “Wait a little longer. Baby, do you want it? If you want it, tell me. I’ll buy it for you.”

“No, no, no. I can’t accept it. Zheng Zeyi… please act normal.” Qiao Sisi held her forehead, instantly regretting having asked so many questions.

I shouldn’t have talked so much. I was aware of Zheng Zeyi’s nasty temper a long time ago. This time, I must learn my lesson.

Qiao Sisi thought to herself as she rolled her eyes at Zheng Zeyi. She was thinking about what he said just now.

......

It seemed that Zheng Zeyi wanted to buy it too. Besides Zheng Zeyi, there were probably many people who wanted this set of jewelry. They were just observing and not making a move.

…

“Sorry, I like it too. 9 million yuan!”

“10 million yuan.” A man raised his card and shouted the bid very calmly, as if 10 million yuan was nothing to him.

Another bidder continued, “10.5 million yuan.”

The man glanced at the bidder and raised his card again. “15 million yuan.”

Like Zheng Zeyi, they raised the price arrogantly. It could not be helped. Wealthy people were entitled to be willful with money.

Finally, after this price was mentioned, no one continued to raise the bid for the time being. For quite a while, no one made a sound, and the auction house seemed extremely quiet.

Lianxin looked around. After seeing that no one was bidding, she knocked the gavel. “This gentleman is bidding 15 million yuan. Does anyone else want to continue? 15 million yuan once!”

“15 million yuan…”

When Lianxin knocked again, Zheng Zeyi finally did not continue to remain silent. He also offered a high price. When no one was paying attention, he said, “20 million yuan.”

Another 5 million yuan!

Everyone turned their attention to Room 1. The man’s determined expression cracked as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Room 1 upstairs.

Even though Qiao Sisi was sitting in the private room, she could feel many gazes on her. She was sure the more astute Zheng Zeyi felt it too.

“I want this jewelry set too.” Zheng Ze’s voice was smiling, but his expression was cold. He did not look that happy.

Qiao Sisi blinked and silently mourned for a few seconds for the man who had just placed his bid.

Based on Zheng Ze’s personality, he would probably think of ways to get whatever he wanted. This time, he had taken a fancy to the sapphire jewelry set and, moreover, he was rich. If nothing went wrong, it was very likely that man had no chance with this set of jewelry

Poor thing, he’s up against Zheng Zeyi…

The man obviously did not know that someone was secretly sympathizing with him. He stared at Room 1 and said, “Esteemed guest from Room 1, I’m from the Liu family. I’m here to buy this set of sapphire jewelry on behalf of my mother. Please give me face.”

Although he said that and his attitude was not bad, Qiao Sisi, who was in the private room, sensed that something was wrong.

When Zheng Zeyi heard that, he fell silent and did not say anything.

“Did you hear me?” the man asked again. He was getting anxious. He wanted an answer.

“Forget it.” Zheng Zeyi’s lips curled up, but he rejected him outright.

He had no intention of giving away what he took a fancy to.

When the man heard this, he frowned. The guest in Room 1 seemed to have a powerful background. He did not even give face to the Liu family. It seemed that this set of jewelry…

No!

The man hesitated for a moment before deciding to continue bidding. “21 million yuan.”

Zheng Zeyi followed closely. “26 million yuan.”

Qiao Sisi, who was listening, could not help laughing. It seemed like Zheng Zeyi did not want to get himself into trouble with this idiot.

“What are you laughing at?” Zheng Zeyi’s voice sounded from behind.

Qiao Sisi’s eyes widened and he immediately cleared his throat, pretending that nothing had happened. He said, “Nothing, you heard wrongly.”

“Oh… I see.” Zheng Zeyi nodded. She did not know if he believed her or not.

After Zheng Zeyi placed a high bid of 26 million yuan, the man did not speak for a long time. Just as Lianxin was about to confirm the price, he gritted his teeth and said again.

“26.1 million yuan!”

The young master of the Liu family could only fork out so much money. The others sighed.

Perhaps it was because of a lack of cash flow or some other reason, but everyone knew that Young Master Liu was a little cash-strapped.

Zheng Zeyi had no intention of being polite. He paused for a while and said, “27 million yuan.”

At this price, the young master of the Liu family did not have the money to outbid him, and the others had already stopped bidding. It was unlikely that anyone would raise the bid now.

So this set of sapphire jewelry naturally became Zheng Zeyi’s.

Lianxin smiled sweetly like a white lotus. She knocked the gavel three times to confirm the price. “27 million yuan going once, 27 million yuan going twice, 27 million yuan going thrice! Congratulations to the honored guest in Room 1. The sapphire set jewelry will be sent to the room later.

Honored guests, this auction will end here. However, those who wish to take another look at the lots need not be in a hurry to leave. Next, there’s an Exchange Segment. ”

After Zheng Zeyi obtained the final item, everyone was ready to pack up and leave. However, Lianxin’s words attracted everyone’s attention.

Exchange segment…

Qiao Sisi looked thoughtful. If she did not guess wrongly, it should be like the normal auction process where people could voluntarily exchange items.

As expected, Lianxin began to explain next, “The segment I’m talking about is similar to a small exchange. Guests can interact freely or exchange items. Some of the bought-in lots will be pushed into this segment, allowing the interested parties to exchange for them.”
