Chapter 2509 I Only Prepared Two Billion

At the stage below.

The auctioneer received the news and was also waiting for the people in the private rooms on the third floor to come down.

Soon, Ye w.a.n.gchuan"s waiter quickly walked down and whispered in his ear.

The auctioneer looked surprised again.

"Are you sure?"

"The VIP from No. 003 bid this price." The waiter looked at his toes. He was very certain.

The auctioneer gradually calmed down and walked towards the stage where the lights were focused. In front of everyone who was partic.i.p.ating in the auction tonight, he smiled bitterly and said in a half-joking tone, "Dear guests, tonight"s auction has refreshed the history of our Beichen Club. This is the first time I"ve encountered such a situation, and it happened at the same auction twice in a row…"

Everyone discussed animatedly, guessing what was going on.

The auctioneer was very professional. After finis.h.i.+ng his opening speech, he revealed the answer without beating around the bush. "A guest on the third-floor bids 3 billion."

"3 billion?!"

"Who directly added 2 billion?"

"He"s from the third floor. Then, it"s no wonder he"s so generous…"

"The third floor… It should be someone from the reclusive families."

The entire auction hall was filled with discussion. Everyone had completely forgotten Ji Ziyin"s previous generosity as they guessed who was upstairs.

…

In the VIP area on the second floor.

Yu Qingliu"s face darkened as he asked the waiter to find out who was bidding on the third floor.

After the waiter left, he rubbed his glabella and said to Ji Ziyin, "Did you prepare enough money tonight?"

Ji Ziyin"s expression was ugly as she shook her head. She looked at him with bright eyes and said, "I"ve prepared just over two billion."

She did not expect that the price of just one piece of ancient jade would rise to three billion yuan.

It was not that Ji Ziyin did not have three billion yuan, but having this wealth and being able to spend it in one go were two different things!

This was just like how many tyc.o.o.ns claimed to have a net worth of 10 billion yuan, but it was really difficult for them to take it out in one go.

"You don"t have three billion?" Yu Qingliu was disappointed.

With an embarra.s.sed expression, Ji Ziyin immediately grabbed her cell phone. "I"ll contact the independent continent again."

Yu Qingliu listened to the discussions below. Very few people asked about Ji Ziyin"s ident.i.ty.

He knew that his plan had failed this time.

Hence, he stopped Ji Ziyin.

"That person is only making his first bid. Even if you can gather more money in a short period of time, you still can"t afford it if he makes a second bid…"

These words could be said to be straightforward.

It was rare for Ji Ziyin to be humiliated like this. Moreover, she had done her best to prepare this time and was mentally prepared to get a good start.

She could not hide her disappointment. Her heart was as uncomfortable as being fried in fire. She looked at Yu Qingliu, bit her lip, and said, "Elder Yu, didn"t you say that this ancient jade is very important? What should I do now?"

Yu Qingliu"s expression was dark as he looked in the direction where the waiter had left. He frowned slightly as if he was also puzzled. "Wait a moment. We"ll talk about it when the waiter comes back after finding out the other party"s ident.i.ty."

"Okay." Ji Ziyin could not think of a better solution. She clenched her fists and placed all her hopes on Yu Qingliu.

The exhibit on the stage had already been removed and sent to the winning bidder.
