Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Two Big Suckers

The phoenix crown and brocade ultimately went to someone on the first floor for five million. Considering it was entirely handmade, the price was quite reasonable.

Yun Zijin and her friends didn’t bid on the next several lots. It wasn’t until a Yuan Blue and White Porcelain vase was introduced that Lu Yunque and the others all sat up straight.

Needless to say, all of them wanted the porcelain vase.

"The starting bid is two million, with minimum increments of fifty thousand. Let the bidding begin!"

The moment the auctioneer’s words fell, people immediately started placing their bids.

"Three million!"

"Three million five hundred thousand!"

...

The bidding on the first floor was fierce. While Lu Yunque’s group watched closely, they still hadn’t placed a bid.

"Seeing how you all are, it looks like everyone wants this Yuan porcelain. Maybe I should join in on the fun?"

Yun Zijin remarked out of the blue. Li Yuexing immediately tried to talk her out of it. "Please don’t! Sister Yun, I’m begging you, can I call you Sister Yun? My grandfather specifically told me I had to win this!"

The mere thought of Yun Zijin’s bidding style from the last auction filled Li Yuexing with a familiar sense of dread.

"My grandfather also specifically requested this item. I hope Miss Yun will do me the favor of letting this one go."

Fu Ze also spoke up, explaining his situation to Yun Zijin.

Lu Yunque, however, remained silent. He was confident in his financial standing and didn’t need Yun Zijin to go easy on him.

"I can sit this one out, but what’s in it for me?"

Yun Zijin placed her hand on the bidding device and looked at Fu Ze and Li Yuexing.

"This is a card for 50% off everything at our family’s national supermarket chain. It has no expiration date."

Li Yuexing pulled a card right out of his wallet and handed it to Yun Zijin.

His family’s supermarkets cater to the high-end market, so their prices are much higher than ordinary ones.

Over time, that fifty-percent discount would add up to a lot of savings.

"I own a Western restaurant. Take this card, and your meals there are on the house."

Fu Ze also produced a card.

Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow. She had only been joking and didn’t expect to actually get perks like these.

"Alright then. I’ll gladly accept your thoughtful gifts. I won’t bid on this Yuan Blue and White Porcelain."

Yun Zijin slipped the two cards into her clutch.

Lu Yunque was already keying in his first bid.

"Wait! Brother Lu, you’re bidding too?"

Seeing Lu Yunque’s action, Li Yuexing and Fu Ze were completely dumbfounded.

If Lu Yunque was going to bid, didn’t that make their "concessions" to Yun Zijin completely pointless? They’d just been played for fools.

"I never said I wouldn’t bid."

Lu Yunque wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. Everyone was here for the auction; the decision to bid on an item was their own to make.

"Wait a minute. If we were all going to bid anyway, why were Fu Ze and I the only ones who had to bribe Miss Yun?"

It was only then that Li Yuexing truly realized what had happened. He and Fu Ze had done all the work just for Lu Yunque and Sheng Hao to reap the benefits.

Yun Zijin shrugged. She couldn’t be blamed; they had done it of their own free will.

Sheng Yang sat beside them, keeping his eyes down and his mouth shut, doing his best to minimize his presence.

"If you two don’t place a bid soon, this Yuan Blue and White Porcelain is going to be won by Mr. Lu."

Seeing the two of them still looking dumbfounded, Yun Zijin offered a kind reminder—she had taken their gifts, after all.

Lu Yunque glanced toward Yun Zijin, the faint smile on his lips tightening into a straight line.
