Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend

Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Teaching Him a Lesson, One Piece at a Time

An Mingji, Gu Jin, Qiu Qianghai, Allen, and others stood in the room waiting.

They didn’t wait long before Old Xin came into the room with a troubled expression.

He shook his head apologetically at the group: "I’m sorry, our boss disagrees. He insists on tonight’s auction, and the highest bidder will get this piece of top-grade stone."

In Old Xin’s view, even if the bidding happened tonight, this top-grade stone wouldn’t sell for more than four million.

He knew the list of guests today well, and there weren’t many generous bidders among them.

The boss disagreed, and he, being an employee, couldn’t make decisions on his own.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jin’s lips curved into a smile devoid of warmth.

It seemed the boss was someone who couldn’t get enough, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

He saw their offer wasn’t low and thought he could hype it up to fetch a higher price.

Today, she was determined to get the stone beneath that red cloth.

"We’ll participate in the bidding," Gu Jin said to Old Xin with a smile, asking him, "Besides that stone up for bidding, the other stones in the room can be bought directly, right?"

Old Xin: "Yes, yes, except for that one, all others can be bought directly. May I know which piece this lady fancies?"

Gu Jin turned around, glancing at the stones in the room with the deepest colors and densest spiritual energy, her face showing a profound smile.

The boss was being unwise, so she would teach him a lesson.

Sometimes, greed like a snake swallowing an elephant leads to huge losses.

Apart from the piece she wanted, the stones that might produce Emperor Green Jade in the auction, there were others in the room that could yield valuable rare jadeite.

Should they indeed be cut open successfully, their value wouldn’t be lower than the Emperor Green Jade.

Gu Jin walked toward a nearby stone with a dark black-red gloss, rough skin, yet tightly structured.

This raw stone showed large patches of rich red hues from the inside, occupying more than two-thirds of the stone’s area.

She pointed to this stone and asked, "How much is this piece?"

Old Xin immediately stepped forward, enthusiastically explaining: "Don’t let the rough surface fool you; it has a complete outer skin, with dense structures. According to our expert team’s assessment, it is likely to produce pure natural rare jadeite. Buying it wouldn’t be a loss—"

Gu Jin didn’t want to hear a long-winded explanation: "I asked for the price."

Old Xin stopped, awkwardly touched his nose: "Uh... five hundred thousand."

"I’ll take it!"

Gu Jin touched the stone and left those words, proceeding forward.

Old Xin blinked in disbelief.

What luck did he run into today to meet such a straightforward client?

Was it that heaven could no longer bear it and arranged this encounter for today?

He thought his good luck had finally arrived!

Old Xin’s face showed an excited flush as he briskly ran towards his lucky goddess.

Gu Jin’s steps stopped in front of a stone the size of a basin.

This was a stone full of spiritual energy, emitting a purple aura.

It was one of the stones she had set her eyes on.

"What’s the price for this one?"

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

This time, Old Xin swiftly provided the price without further ado.

"I’ll take it!"

Just like before, Gu Jin touched the stone emanating purple aura and moved on.

She was marking them, leaving a unique trace and aura on the stones she selected.

Afterwards, she picked three more stones.

Five jade stones, costing her a total of two million four hundred thousand.
