This is three million!

This guy, isn’t he really a swindler?

Shu Qin’er couldn’t help but think, although she felt that Ye Qingfeng’s demeanor and aura were very familiar, just like the figure in her vague memory.

But he was just too suspicious. She had asked him several times, and he deliberately avoided the topic, yet still bought such an expensive item, waiting for her father to pay the bill.

This completely seemed like a scammer trying to con money.

"Hey, can’t you explain? My father bought you a three-million-dollar item, can’t you be a bit less cold?" Shu Qin’er raised her eyebrows and said.

Ye Qingfeng’s expression was indifferent, not bothering to deal with this little girl. Right now, his mind was solely focused on that stone, with no time for idle chatter.

"This guy!"

Seeing Ye Qingfeng’s cold demeanor, Shu Qin’er was about to explode in anger, wanting to slap his cold, delicate face to see him stop pretending to be aloof.

"Forget it, Qin’er, let’s talk about it after the auction ends."

Shu Daonan quickly comforted her.

Shu Qin’er’s voice had been quite loud just now, attracting a lot of attention, which is why Shu Daonan comforted her.

The bill wouldn’t be settled until the auction ended, so there was no rush. He would only pay once it was confirmed that Ye Qingfeng saved his daughter.

Shu Qin’er looked up and indeed saw many people looking over, with many whispering and pointing.

Some even laughed softly, thinking that this young man was making random bids and was thus being scolded by his own people.

These people also showed disdainful expressions. Initially, they thought this young man was wealthy and extravagant.

Turns out he was just a naive youth, not understanding the market, and bidding high, hence being scolded by his family.

"Tsk, I thought he was from some big family, turns out he’s just a naive kid."

"Haha, now his family is scolding him, isn’t it? Raising the bid by one million at a time scared me, I thought he had a lot of money."

"Young people, you know, they are a bit rash and like to show off, it’s normal. Just treat it as an expensive lesson."

Some people sneered quietly, knowing this young man was bound to suffer a loss.

After all, people who come here are reputable figures. If he didn’t pay, they’d be blacklisted from the auction and couldn’t attend any more auction events.

Plus, they’d lose face in high society, so this loss, the young man must bear it.

Hearing so many whispers, Shu Qin’er was taken aback and stopped speaking.

She felt a bit frustrated but knew now was not the time to argue with Ye Qingfeng; she’d have to wait until the auction ended.

At this time, several more auction items passed.

Ye Qingfeng had no interest in these items and naturally stopped bidding. Shu Daonan initially wanted to prepare a graduation gift for Shu Qin’er.

However, after Ye Qingfeng spent three million, and since his company was being suppressed and facing difficulties, requiring a large amount of capital, he had to put off buying Shu Qin’er’s graduation gift and didn’t bid.

The Qipao beauty on stage beamed with joy in her heart. Since the young man had offered a high bid of three million, it spurred the enthusiasm of other guests, resulting in substantial prices for the following few items.

"Next, is the final auction item of this event, also the most mysterious one of this auction. The starting bid is six million, with each increment no less than ten thousand. You can start bidding freely now." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Qipao beauty slightly smiled and said.

If this item sold for a high price, her auction income tonight would be quite considerable, even quite substantial.

But she felt somewhat insecure that such a plain-looking stone had a starting bid of six million, wondering who would buy it?

Sure enough, when the audience saw that unremarkable stone on stage, they were taken aback, and the scene erupted with astonishment.

"This stone is six million, what is it?"

"Six million, are they crazy? Who would buy this kind of thing?"

"I’ve never seen this before, why is the auction offering something so strange? They didn’t even explain, maybe they’re out to con people."

For a moment, the people on stage were abuzz with discussions, finding it laughably absurd to auction a stone for six million.

And that’s just the starting bid!

Hearing the discussions below, the Qipao lady on stage was rather helpless. She didn’t know what exactly this stone was about either; nothing special, yet they wanted to sell it for six million.

Her heart sank a bit, it seemed likely this item would remain unsold tonight.

If this stone could be sold, her income tonight might even double; it was such a shame.

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng’s eyes flashed with fervor, his mind buzzing with excitement.

"Finally, the Floating Stone!"

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes gleamed brightly; this was the reason he attended this auction, and he was determined to win it.

"Six million!"

Ye Qingfeng raised his hand to bid without hesitation. No matter the cost, he had to secure this Floating Stone.

As someone bid, everyone turned to look at Ye Qingfeng in surprise, not expecting this young man to bid again, and for such a mundane stone.

Had he not learned his lesson earlier?

Everyone wondered curiously.

Someone spent over three million for a Jade Pendant and now wants to spend six million on a stone, has he lost his mind?

"It’s him again."

The Qipao lady on stage was also startled, then delighted; this man was simply her lucky star, his presence enormously boosted her earnings tonight.

"Ye Qingfeng, what are you doing? That broken stone costs six million, and you’re bidding for it!" Shu Qin’er couldn’t hold back and promptly called out.

Even Shu Daonan was stunned, not expecting Ye Qingfeng to bid again, this time wanting to spend six million on a mere stone.

His own company was already struggling; spending another six million would have too great an impact.

He couldn’t accept it either.

Ye Qingfeng ignored Shu Qin’er, his eyes fixed on the Floating Stone on the stage.

"Brother Ye Qingfeng, I only promised to buy you one item. If you want to bid on this stone, I’m afraid—" Shu Daonan looked at Ye Qingfeng, clenching his teeth as he spoke.

"It’s not that I’m stingy, Shu Daonan, but my company really is in crisis now, and I can’t use such large sums of money for the time being. So, if someone else bids for this stone, make sure you don’t raise the bid."

Shu Daonan thought helplessly, as it was he who brought Ye Qingfeng here. If they didn’t buy after winning the auction, Ye Qingfeng would be blacklisted.
