Chapter 14: A New Understanding of Yun Zijin's Financial Resources

Originally, she was just casually browsing the auction list, but unexpectedly, several items caught her eye.

After secretly noting down the items, she put the list back on the table.

At 8 o'clock, the host announced the official start of the auction and stepped off the stage as the auctioneer took over.

The first item was a set of white jade jewelry—earrings, a bracelet, a peace locket, and a jade hairpin shaped like bamboo. However, this jewelry set had been worn before by a lady who provided it for auction, so Yun Zijin had no intention of bidding on it.

"Qingqing! Do you like this set of jewelry? Want me to bid on it for you?"

Sheng Yang, who had somehow switched seats with the person next to her, tried to seize the moment.

"I appreciate the thought, but if I want it, I'll bid myself."

They'd only met twice, and she didn't think they had the kind of relationship where he should be buying her gifts.

Rejected, Sheng Yang sighed inwardly and decided to look for another opportunity later.

The lady who provided the jewelry ended up buying it back herself for 1.2 million yuan. Although strange, it was a charity auction, so there was no rule against the original owner bidding on her own item. She'd still have to pay the amount, contributing to the charity.

Soon, the staff brought up the second item.

It was a piece of jade, completely unpolished and about the size of two adult men's hands. The stone featured varying shades of red, reminiscent of a phoenix rising from ashes. This piece immediately attracted Yun Zijin's attention. She had marked it as a target when flipping through the list earlier, but the real thing looked even more impressive than the pictures.

"The starting price for this phoenix-rising red jade is 500,000 yuan. Each increment must be at least 50,000 yuan. Let the bidding begin!"

"600,000 yuan!"

People rushed to call out prices as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking.

Watching the prices soar, Yun Zijin felt that these people didn't seem to value money at all. When the bidding frenzy cooled, she joined in.

"3 million."

The price had just reached 2.8 million, and her 200,000 yuan increase made one competitor drop out.

"Qingqing, your way of bidding—"

She ignored Sheng Yang. Someone else called out 3.05 million.

"4 million."

Without hesitation, she raised the price. Even Lu Yunque, who had been silent, arched an eyebrow at her bold method.

"4.5 million!" another bidder called.

"8 million."

Jumping directly to 8 million shocked everyone. Two of her competitors were instantly defeated, leaving only three people still vying, including her.

"10 million!"

"12 million!"

Her voice was steady, as if she didn't care at all about the amount. This kind of straightforward bidding style gave the impression that if someone dared to raise the bid, she'd dare to top it.

"Qingqing, you're really—"

"Stop," she said curtly. Another competitor hesitated. After 12 million, he wavered. The jade was valuable, but not so profitable that it justified going higher. He backed out.

With no one else bidding, she won the phoenix-rising red jade for 12 million. Her mood noticeably improved.

After that, she also purchased a violet jade bracelet and a Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase. Sitting beside her, Sheng Yang was stunned by her generosity.

"Qingqing—"

"Wait, my name is Yun Zijin. Don't call me Qingqing anymore."

She never expected her casually chosen alias would end up feeling so awkward now.

Sheng Yang was speechless for a moment. He had been earnest about befriending her, and now he felt a bit crestfallen.

"Zijin, the auction isn't even halfway, and you've already spent nearly 100 million. Are you sure your family won't object?"

Sheng Yang himself didn't have that kind of money to spend so freely.

"This is all my money. No one can say anything about how I spend it," she replied calmly. She didn't mention being an orphan.

"Zijin, are you also interested in the land in the western suburbs? Many people are here for that piece of land," Sheng Yang said, trying to gauge her intentions.

She hadn't noticed any land up for auction on the list.

"Land? I didn't see any land auction on the list."

She was serious, but others around them now eyed her strangely.

"It's a piece of land in the western suburbs, next to a resort that the Lu family plans to develop. Brother Yunque and his team are targeting it tonight."

"From how you say it, it sounds like they've got it in the bag?"

At first, she wasn't interested, but now her curiosity was piqued.

Hearing their conversation, Lu Yunque, who had been silent, thought: Please don't plan to snatch the land from under me.

"It's more than just a sure bet; it's a huge profit opportunity. If I had the money, I'd compete too." Sheng Yang lamented. He was still a college student, relying on limited monthly allowances—nowhere near enough to buy land.

"You may not have money, but I do," she said, her interest in the land growing stronger.

"Miss Yun, do you really intend to compete with us for that piece of land?"

Lu Yunque's sudden interjection startled her, making her pull back slightly.

Collecting herself, she answered, "It's an auction; the highest bidder wins."

Lu Yunque was momentarily stunned before letting out a low chuckle. "Miss Yun is right. The one who bids highest wins."

After that brief exchange, they said nothing more.

Then, she spent an enormous sum of 3.8 billion yuan on a 2143.56-carat pink diamond. The pink diamond appealed to her rare girlish side. This purchase further shocked Lu Yunque, Sheng Yang, and the others. They realized they had completely underestimated her financial capabilities.

At first, they thought she was joking about bidding for the land, but now they had to take her seriously. She could definitely afford it if she so desired.

As time passed, the auction neared its end. Finally, the western suburbs land that everyone anticipated was brought out as the final lot.

"Next is the moment you've all been waiting for! The last item of the night: land in the western suburbs. Covering an area of 400,000 square meters…"

"The starting price is 50 million yuan. Each increment must be at least 100,000 yuan. Let the bidding begin!"

"80 million!"

"90 million!"

"100 million!"
