Chapter 340

Xiao Qi didn\'t feel too constrained in her cheongsam, but she did encounter a slight issue: she couldn\'t take big strides when walking.

If she took slightly larger steps, it felt like she would stumble.

Their cheongsams were of the longer variety, with a slit that reached just above their calves, giving a more dignified appearance.

Fortunately, high heels were not required. Xiao Qi wore a pair of white shoes, which didn\'t look too out of place. In fact, her cheongsam had a slightly casual style, contrasting with her vibrant face and creating a cute contrast.

After applying her makeup, Xiao Qi was momentarily stunned by her reflection in the mirror.

It felt strange.

It was the first time she had applied such heavy makeup to herself, and when paired with the cheongsam, she no longer looked like her usual self.

She looked really good. Xiao Qi felt this was the most beautiful she had ever looked. When she grew into her twenties, she probably wouldn\'t look as good as she did now.

She was radiant yet pure and beautiful.

She liked the image in the mirror.

However, when she wasn\'t looking at the mirror, she became accustomed to her original self.

She stood tall with a graceful posture, exuding a great temperament and clear gaze.

Despite her alluring makeup, it didn\'t arouse any wicked thoughts in people; it was merely a passing admiration.

Just like the pair of glassy imperial green jade bracelets being auctioned tonight, with a starting price of ten million yuan.

They were placed there, not under strong light, but naturally emanating a beautiful gleam, captivating anyone who glanced at them.

At this moment, Xiao Qi, dressed in a green cheongsam, was just like that.

Not being illuminated by strong light, she stood there, captivating everyone\'s hearts.

Among the group of part-time girls, there were those like Xiao Qi who came out of curiosity, their first time attending such an event.

There were also those who had clear goals in mind. In a place like an auction, there were bound to be many wealthy individuals. If they could encounter someone exceptionally rich, it might be a shortcut in life.

Due to their different upbringing and thoughts, everyone had their own ideas.

Some people simply wanted to take shortcuts.

And Xiao Qi also wanted to take a shortcut. She believed that the shortcut was through studying and improving herself. She thought it was the fairest and most straightforward path, a straight line that would lead her to the destination the fastest. So, she didn\'t have any other intentions.

But there were others who had different intentions, like Jin Yingying. This wasn\'t her first time attending, and she had the advantage of height, standing at one meter seventy. Her figure was also very good, and her looks were slightly ordinary, but after putting on makeup, she could still show off. Plus, she was young.

When she saw Xiao Qi with her makeup done, Jin Yingying became even more hostile. If all the girls came out like this, what was her purpose here?

However, she didn\'t casually make any sarcastic remarks.

Jin Yingying had a strong desire to stand out, so she was arranged to present the first item.

It was a pair of small bronze lions, very delicate and cute.

They were probably placed on top of pillars.

Xiao Qi was interested in all these auction items and carefully read their descriptions.

This pair was from the Qing Dynasty, and the timing was right. The starting price wasn\'t high, and they were exquisite. They would be perfect as paperweights in a study or as small ornaments.

It was a pretty pair.

Seeing that Xiao Qi had just asked about the authenticity earlier and Sister Wang wasn\'t angry but instead smiled, others also became bolder and asked some questions.

There was a little girl who asked innocently, "Manager Wang, are these made of gold? A pair is being auctioned starting at fifty thousand yuan."

Xiao Qi felt like she was looking at her former self, asking silly and naive questions. Even if we\'re not talking about antiques, modern gold prices are much higher than fifty thousand yuan. With the weight of these items, the price of gold has recently risen to over five hundred yuan per gram.

Xiao Qi learned about the price of gold in her marketing class. The teacher mentioned the issue of buying gold jewelry for weddings in the southern region and whether these jewelry items retain their value.

Attending class was interesting, and she unintentionally learned various knowledge.

Now, Xiao Qi wouldn\'t ask such naive questions. She knows the approximate size and weight of these items, as well as the price of gold. A quick calculation would give her the answer.

Sister Wang gave the same answer with a smile.

Xiao Qi sighed. In fact, she and the girl who asked the question weren\'t fundamentally different. They were both silly and naive.

The girl lacked intelligence, but it was emotional intelligence she lacked.

Sister Wang actually liked Xiao Qi. It was mainly because she was so beautiful. Sister Wang admired her own taste for selecting the green cheongsam for Xiao Qi. This cheongsam had the best craftsmanship and was the most exquisite. The cheongsams worn by others cost only three to five hundred yuan, but this green cheongsam was custom-made and cost over eight thousand yuan at the internal price. The same cheongsam sold outside for over twenty thousand yuan. The auction house invited a young celebrity for that event, and it was a grand occasion. So, this green cheongsam remained unworn by anyone else.

Sister Wang usually didn\'t let part-time girls try it on, as it was quite expensive and would be troublesome if it got damaged.

However, this time, she couldn\'t resist showing it to this girl.

Jin Yingying\'s sarcastic remark made sense. Xiao Qi\'s cheongsam was indeed different from others and cost several tens of times more.

Not only was the color different, but the craftsmanship, embroidery, and fabric were also different.

The cheongsams worn by others seemed somewhat frivolous, but Xiao Qi\'s cheongsam was of great workmanship, stable and dignified. She looked like a noble lady and definitely wouldn\'t be mistaken for a greeter at the door.

Sister Wang thought this girl looked much better in this cheongsam than the young celebrity she had invited last time. That celebrity was young and had a huge temper and attitude.

Compared to that celebrity, this girl was at least twenty times better looking. Sister Wang was quite old, and her son was already in middle school. She admired the girl\'s beauty without any jealousy. It was pleasing to the eye, and she couldn\'t help but consider having a second child.

Xiao Qi couldn\'t help but ask again, "Sister Wang, can we bid for the items we like?"

Wang Xiuyu??

Looking at this beautiful girl, why would you need to work part-time if you could afford to buy these things?

But considering that she was a student of Enhua, could she be here to experience life?

No wonder I was immediately drawn to her. I thought she was exceptionally good-looking and had a special temperament. Was it because of her extraordinary background or was I just lucky to have found such a girl?

Sister Wang didn\'t just smile and brush it off this time, but nodded and said, "Sure, but you\'ll have to pay a deposit. Once you\'ve paid, we\'ll give you a sign. You can hold up any sign you want, and make sure it doesn\'t interfere with your work."

Xiao Qi glanced at it and realized that Sister Wang had actually assigned her only one task—to follow along and stand on the stage with that large bronze artifact.

The starting price for that bronze piece was sky-high, 50 million.

Xiao Qi felt like she was making money a little too easily.

Wang Xiu Yu thought her arrangement was quite reasonable. The best card should be played last for the greatest effect.

Xiao Qi actually had nothing to do right now. It would be a long wait until the end.

Xiao Qi told Sister Wang that she was going to pay the deposit.

Others felt that Manager Wang was playing favorites. Just a while ago, two people wanted to go out and take a look at the auction scene, but they were not allowed. Yet, when Su Xiao Qi wanted to go, Sister Wang unexpectedly agreed.

The deposit turned out to be 500,000, which could be directly deducted if she bid on something. If she didn\'t bid, it would be refunded after the auction ended.

Xiao Qi went to pay the money, exchanged it for a small round sign, and then came back.

Wang Xiu Yu saw the girl actually come back with a silver sign in her hand and was truly speechless.

It must have been intentional on the part of the staff. In fact, there were several types of deposits: the basic one required only 100,000 yuan, the silver round sign required 500,000, and of course, there was also a gold sign that cost 1 million.

Wang Xiu Yu sighed, wondering whose girl had come to their auction, and her attitude improved somewhat.

Then Xiao Qi asked more questions, and she answered them all in detail.

Xiao Qi thought to herself that there are still many good people in society. Sister Wang seemed fierce at first, with a bit of a frown on her face, but she was actually very easy to talk to. Truly, one should not judge a book by its cover.
