Dr. Jiang's Daily Adversities

The auction was about to begin, and the auctioneer went on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our auction. I hope that everyone will be able to get what you want today!"

Clap... A round of enthusiastic applause rang out.

"Our first item today is the purple grapes.

According to the investigation, this bunch of purple grapes was passed down from China more than a thousand years ago. It was one of the most precious treasures in the palace at that time.

The starting price is five million US dollars. There are no rules in this bidding."

With that said, the highest bid would win.

"Five and a half million!"

"Six million!"

"Seven million!"

...

These foreigners were quite interested in items from China. They were willing to spend a great amount of money to add it to their collections.

In the blink of an eye, the bidding price had breached 10 million.

"12 million!"

"The guest in Room 6 asked for 12 million. 12 million going once, 12 million going twice, 12 million..."

"20 million!"

Hiss!

"The guest in Room 3 asked for 20 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid? 20 million going once, 20 million going twice, 20 million going thrice!"

"Congratulations to the guest in Room 3 for winning this bunch of purple grapes!"

Jiang Tingxu felt her heart pounding as she watched the auction. Fortunately, she had a healthy heart function.

Did capitalists get money as easily as a piece of cake?

It was just the beginning. The bid had already breached 100 million RMB!

Just now, the man asked if she liked this bunch of purple grapes. As soon as he mentioned it, Jiang Tingxu immediately said no.

No matter how many thousand years had these purple grapes been passed down, it was not edible. They could just buy fresh grapes in the market at any time. Wasn't that better?

After that, the auction went on with other items. There were rare gemstones, some buildings, mineral development rights, and so on...

The man sat quietly. In the middle of the auction, he asked the waiter to send some fresh fruit juice and desserts.

Jiang Tingxu was forced to be fed as she watched. She did not have to move at all.

"Is it delicious?"

"Not bad!"

"Then have a bit more."

The man seemed to enjoy feeding her. He did not pause even for a moment.

Finally, Jiang Tingxu stopped him since she really could not eat anymore.

"I don't want it anymore. I'm stuffed. Really."

The man clearly showed some regret, but he stopped.

Jiang Tingxu drank a few mouthfuls of tea to neutralize the sweetness of the desserts.

At this moment, the man spoke again,

"Honey, do you know how to press this?"

What?

If she had not mistaken, one only needed to press the button when he wanted to place a bid. It would be displayed outside instantly.

"Yea, I know."

The man smiled and said,

"Great. When the next round begins, just do it then!"

"Do you want to make a bid?"

"I can't just be here and not bid at all, right?"

Hah, it would be a joke for Jiang Tingxu to believe him!

He said it so reluctantly. In fact, he was already determined to win it!

"What are you going to bid for later?"

This item that the man wanted would neither be simple nor cheap!

"An island!"

As the man finished speaking, the auctioneer began to introduce the item.

"The next item to be auctioned is a private island in Country F's Caribbean Sea region. It covers an area of about 150 square kilometers. The starting bid is 60 million USD!

The bid starts now!"

Being an island owner was probably something that many people had dreamed of.

However, only very few people in this world would become island owners.

The starting bid for a private island that was only 150 square kilometers was 60 million USD. No one knew what sky-high price it would achieve later on.

Just as Jiang Tingxu was in a daze, someone started bidding,

"61 million!"

"62 million!"

"63 million!"

Everyone was tacitly increasing the price by one million each time. No one dared to raise the price too high.
