The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

"Zhu Youtang had only one wife, Empress Zhang. Naturally, he respected her deeply, treating her as his equal since their marriage."

"Historical records state that Empress Zhang allowed her relatives to prey on the common people, with corrupt officials taking bribes and doing as they pleased. I’m sure you’re all familiar with this part: Empress Zhang’s two younger brothers once secretly wore the Emperor’s crown, but the Emperor, out of respect for Empress Zhang, did not punish them."

"What the world doesn’t know is that they also meddled with the Jade Seal, even accidentally chipping a corner. Zhu Youtang secretly found a jade craftsman to restore it," Gu Shengsheng said. "I read about these later events in a jade craftsman’s personal notes."

"Whether these historical accounts are true or false, we can’t know for sure."

"But in any case, this Jade Seal is authentic."

Gu Shengsheng knew that for this Jade Seal to be offered as a grand prize, the He Family must have put up the money. Even this Mr. Bao was hired by the He Family.

’So... why not make more money off them?’

She had barely taken anything from the He Family, and they already wanted to lock her in a basement and force her into submission.

Gu Shengsheng was truly fired up now.

Throughout the day’s high-stakes gambling, whenever she spotted someone who looked like a shill, she would furiously challenge them.

And she won every single time.

Seeing she had won another five or six million,

Zhang Sanwang came over to warn her. "Have you gone crazy with the betting? You should quit while you’re ahead."

"So many people have their eyes on you now. Be careful, or you might not be able to walk out of here."

Gu Shengsheng bluffed, "It’s fine. I’ve got powerful backing."

Someone happened to overhear this and reported it to Chairman He.

He clenched his fists. ’So she thinks she can act lawless just because she has Ryan backing her?’

’How ridiculous!’

He Chen said, exasperated, "Why don’t I tell the Lu Family about this Ryan business? Let them know he’s actually Lu Shijing?"

Chairman He replied coolly, "He’s about to destroy the very company he built with his own hands. You think he’d care about that?"

"Forget it. You’re already on your way to Black Africa. This is a loss we’ll have to eat. From today onward, we are not to touch Gu Shengsheng."

She was throwing her weight around... and she truly had the capital to do so.

The more He Chen thought about it, the angrier he became.

But there was nothing he could do.

"Our setup fees, venue fees, and hiring costs for today, plus what Gu Shengsheng won, means we’ve lost over one hundred million."

"Let’s wrap things up around five o’clock."

"That girl... she came here specifically to sabotage us."

Before, they had said they didn’t believe Gu Shengsheng had any real ability, but since yesterday, they didn’t dare say such things anymore.

The woman was just freakishly, undeniably good.

Gu Shengsheng left with fifty million and a Jade Seal.

Walking back to the hotel completely unscathed, the other three thought it was unbelievable.

Even the usually composed Gao Liu found it strange. "Miss Gu, I’ve been running in these circles for many years, and I had to claw my way up from the bottom."

"I just can’t figure out how you managed to win so much and walk away in one piece."

"Everyone today was saying you have a powerful backer. That really seems to be the only explanation that makes sense."

"But we’re the only ones who know you don’t have any backing like that."

Thus, Gao Liu was extremely perplexed.

Gu Shengsheng said, "I find it strange, too. I was prepared to call the police at a moment’s notice. I figured if the He Family tried to threaten me, I’d hand over the evidence to the officers."

"I even had plenty of evidence prepared from yesterday. But they didn’t show up at all today."

"I guess it really must have been thanks to that Ryan."

Since Gu Shengsheng put it that way, Gao Liu understood.

They knew a little about the business world, and this Ryan was no simple character. He was a top-ten name on the Forbes list abroad. Since returning, he’d launched major commercial ventures with government support.

To this day, very few people had even seen what he looked like.

It was certainly hard to say for sure.

Gu Shengsheng’s previous fifty million, plus the fifty million from today. And a Jade Seal.

The "small goal" of one hundred million was achieved.

It was no secret that she was making money, so she just posted directly on Weibo: "Reached a small goal. Thanks for all the support, everyone."

The netizens who had followed her journey were genuinely excited.

Even more of her haters turned directly into die-hard fans.

Originally, the appraisal community was the place least affected by fan culture, because its audience was largely middle-aged and older.

But Gu Shengsheng was different; she was actually driving a wave of consumption in this sphere.

Other streamers wouldn’t receive as much in gifts in an entire night as she would from a single major donor...

Of course, Gu Shengsheng never relied on this for her livelihood.

Everyone did the math and realized that in just a few days of participating in appraisal competitions, she had earned a hundred million and obtained a Jade Seal.

It shot straight to the top of the entertainment section’s hot search list.

#MostBeautifulStreamer,SoJealousImCrying#

Gu Shengsheng was already used to trending on the hot search, and her Weibo follower count had grown significantly. But her Emotion Value was still increasing slowly.

This meant that it was no longer so easy to satisfy her audience’s expectations.

She would have to work even harder.

She thought this on the first day, but the next day she collapsed into bed and slept for three days straight in her small apartment before finally regaining her energy.

Grandma and Lu Linlin came by every day at a set time to cook and chat.

But Gu Shengsheng just kept lying there, not even wanting to move a finger.

「Three days later」

Grandma brought her some millet congee. She said, "Shengsheng, the renovation at the courtyard house is almost finished. It’s been about a month. After that, we just need to let it air out for half a month."

"Grandma has prepared a private Treasure Pavilion for you. You can store all your artifacts there. That way, you won’t have to worry about them not being safe at home."

The corner of Gu Shengsheng’s mouth twitched. Seeing her grandmother so enthusiastic, she asked tentatively, "You didn’t prepare some hidden traps, did you?"

"Haha, you know me so well!" Grandma patted her shoulder. "I wanted to, but the designer vetoed the idea. He said the location we chose is excellent and there’s no way there would be any security issues."

"That’s good. A lot of people have been contacting me about the Jade Seal lately, but I don’t want to sell it. After all, I’m not that short on cash anymore."

"For now, I’ll store it myself and wait until I have more money. If I find the right opportunity, maybe I can even open my own private artifact museum."

Hearing this, Grandma nodded. "That would be wonderful!"

"You can decide what to do." Then, Grandma hesitated. "Shengsheng, I went to the hospital the other day to bring you a meal... but I think I saw Shi Jing."

"Huh?" Gu Shengsheng froze for a moment. "He’s still alive?" she asked tentatively.

"He’s dead. I think I saw his soul. It was exactly twelve o’clock, and back in my hometown, they say souls can be summoned then. He was probably coming to see you."

Grandma said this with a completely straight face, and Gu Shengsheng suddenly felt a chill in the air.

She grabbed her grandmother’s hand and found that it was cold, too.

"Yes, I’m scared too. The living are one thing, but the dead are terrifying."

The old lady was now holding a string of Buddha Beads. She then pulled a Jade Pendant from her pocket, its body translucent and clear.

Gu Shengsheng could tell it was a high-quality piece at a single glance.

Grandma said, "You wear this. I took it to the temple to be blessed with incense. Wear it, and he won’t come looking for you anymore."

Lu Linlin also took out her own and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m already wearing mine."
