"For a single volume of the Yongle Encyclopedia, our bid is 110 million!"
Once the troublemakers had left, a short-haired girl around 28 years old made her bid. People were surprised to see someone so young bidding. They wondered how a private individual could afford such an item.
"That must be Director Lin's daughter!" the mayor of Dalong County whispered in the ear of the governor of Jiangnan Province. They were seated in the front row.
"Director Lin? From the Capital's First Hospital?" The governor was speechless, as this was still a government-affiliated institution.
"Where did she come from?"
"Can a private individual even bid on something like this?"
"Exactly, young lady, didn't your father tell you the significance of these items?"
"Quiet down, her father is the director of the Capital's First Hospital!"
