Today, I'm Going to Spend the Billionaire's Hundred Million Again-Chapter 648: New Mission

When Shen Jue was in the car, he found Rong Qingqing pleasingly beautiful, but once he led her into the auction venue and saw how much attention Rong Qingqing was attracting, Shen Jue felt that Rong Qingqing was more enjoyable when she wasn’t all dressed up.

The two of them went into the venue and sat down in their seats directly. Shen Jue was in a wheelchair, and the seating was arranged in advance, so the space next to Rong Qingqing was specifically left empty for Shen Jue.

"What do you plan to bid on tonight?" Rong Qingqing curiously asked Shen Jue.

Tonight wasn’t a charity auction, so it wasn’t for the company to do philanthropy.

So, there must be something at the auction that caught Shen Jue’s eye.

"I’m here to help someone by bidding on a Ming Dynasty hairpin," Shen Jue said. "The catalog shows the order of the items, and it’s the third one, so it won’t be long, and we can leave after bidding."

Rong Qingqing responded with an ’hmm’ and picked up the catalog with interest to take a look.

The item Shen Jue was referring to was a continuously blue-enamelled Ming Dynasty hairpin. It wasn’t exceptionally valuable, but Rong Qingqing was curious about who asked Shen Jue to bid personally. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After turning past the hairpin, Rong Qingqing continued on, only then realizing that each subsequent item was more valuable than the last.

The third to last item was a famous painting that Rong Qingqing had never heard of, with a starting price indicating a million, leaving Rong Qingqing clicking her tongue in amazement.

The lifestyle of the super-rich, incomprehensible to an ordinary person like her who merely has a bit of money.

While internally ranting, Rong Qingqing continued flipping through the catalog.

Perhaps seeing her pause for a few more seconds, Shen Jue asked, "Do you like this painting? If you like it, I’ll bid for it and give it to you."

Hearing this, Rong Qingqing shot Shen Jue a glare, "Others might not know, but how could you not know? I don’t appreciate paintings. Spend over a million on it? I’d rather spend over a million on gold to pave the floor beneath my bed!"

Shen Jue couldn’t help but chuckle softly, only then remembering the painting Rong Qingqing had given him, which he had kept in his study.

He nodded, indicating he understood that Rong Qingqing wasn’t looking at it a second time because she liked it but because she was weighing how much gold she could buy with the starting price of a million.

"Stop laughing!" Rong Qingqing, a bit embarrassed and annoyed, pinched Shen Jue’s arm and continued flipping through the catalog angrily.

It was then that the System spoke up.

"Host, there’s a new task! Have Shen Jue bid for that ’Willow Tree Painting’ for you. Task reward: 10,000 hours of life span."

Rong Qingqing: Ah, such a familiar way to contradict myself.

It hadn’t been that long since the last time, and she had already forgotten how the dog System acted like a jerk.

She had just mentioned how spending over a million on a painting was less reasonable than buying gold, and now the dog System decided to smack her in the face.

"Could you not have announced it one minute earlier?" Rong Qingqing gritted her teeth in her mind.

The System pretended to play dead and vanished.

Grinding her teeth, Rong Qingqing felt like sewing her mouth shut.

She flipped back to the previous page for the ancient painting with a starting price of a million, glaring at the art catalog as if to bore a hole through it.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Jue noticed the change in Rong Qingqing’s expression and asked in a low voice, "Didn’t you dislike it? Why did you look back at it?"

Rong Qingqing just felt a sharp pain in her face.

But that couldn’t stop her will to survive.

After all, she was someone still in debt to the System for several tens of thousands of hours of life span.

Rong Qingqing took a deep breath and said in a not-so-kind tone, "I’ve suddenly become able to appreciate its beauty now, okay?"
