Soon, a piece of jewelry—a necklace—appeared at the auction, with a starting bid of two million. I became interested and began to participate in the bidding. After a fierce round of competition, I successfully acquired the necklace for fifteen million.
The auction was not yet over when Bo Jingtian had to leave the estate early due to some matters. I stayed at the auction house, and a young man named Alexander approached me. He introduced himself, saying he had seen me in a magazine, and asked if I was there alone. I told him I had come with Bo Jingtian. He tried to engage me in conversation, but I refused. He insisted on chatting with me, and I warned him to respect my boundaries, but he brushed it off. Eventually, I managed to send him away, telling him that if he could guess who I was, I would let him go. He left angrily while I continued to participate in the auction.
The auction proceeded, and the next item was an antique vase with a starting bid of three million. After some bidding, it was finally sold for eight million. I wasn't particularly interested in these items, so I merely observed.
As the auction reached its midpoint, a special item appeared—a sapphire known as the "Heart of the Ocean." This sapphire was clear and transparent, radiating an enchanting glow. The starting bid was eighty million, with each increment no less than one million. I became extremely interested and began to bid. After a heated round of competition, I successfully acquired the sapphire for two hundred million.
I felt very satisfied with my haul for the day, especially with the "Heart of the Ocean" sapphire; it would become a precious addition to my collection.
"Congratulations to this young lady for winning the 'Heart of the Ocean' sapphire!" Zhou Zheng exclaimed excitedly.
I smiled happily.
The "Heart of the Ocean" sapphire is mine!
"Next, we will auction off the sixth item," Zhou Zheng announced loudly.
As his words fell, another beautiful woman in a qipao pushed out a display cart.
"This item is a guitar," Zhou Zheng said as he unveiled it with a red cloth.
I focused my gaze; this guitar was stunning. Its body was made of wood and intricately carved with elaborate patterns, while its strings were silver and gleaming.
"This guitar was crafted by the renowned musician Kathy Martin. It has beautiful sound quality and exquisite craftsmanship; it is one of the world's top instruments," Zhou Zheng introduced. "The starting bid for this guitar is seven million, with each increment no less than one hundred thousand. Let the bidding begin!"
"Seven million one hundred thousand!"
"Seven million two hundred thousand!"
As soon as Zhou Zheng finished speaking, bids started coming from the audience.
"Eight million!" I raised my paddle and called out.
"Eight million once!" Zhou Zheng shouted back.
"Eight million one hundred thousand!"
Before I could finish my sentence, another voice suddenly rang out.
I frowned and looked over to see that it was the same young man with yellow hair from earlier who had called out the bid.
At that moment, he was looking at me provocatively, his expression one of determination.
"Nine million!" I scoffed, raising my paddle again.
"Nine million once!" Zhou Zheng shouted excitedly.
"Nine million twice!"
"Ten million!" the young man with the yellow hair raised his paddle again.
"Ten million once!"
"Ten million twice!"
"Twenty million!" I raised my paddle once more.
My action instantly stunned everyone present.
"This young lady bids twenty million; is there any higher offer?" Zhou Zheng asked eagerly.
The audience fell silent.
"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times! Sold!" Zhou Zheng brought down the gavel with a thud.
"Congratulations, miss! You have won this guitar made by Kathy Martin!" Zhou Zheng announced.
I smiled lightly in response.
The guitar was worth at most around ten million, yet I had spent twenty million to acquire it. It stung a bit, but thinking of that guitar made it feel worthwhile!
Next, I continued to bid on several items, including a painting, a set of porcelain, a rocking chair, and a set of ruby jewelry.
Each time I raised my bid, it drew the attention of the entire room, as my increments were often several million or even tens of millions more than others.
As a result, every item I acquired far exceeded the originally expected sale price.
