Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 548: Chapter 545 Ruili Betting Opens

Thinking of this, Huo Sining’s mind stirred, and she raised her head to seriously look at Jiang Xiaoqin, smiling as she said:

”If you really want to follow me, it’s not impossible. However, what I can teach you is limited; I can only bring you along to gain more experience, to summarize my personal experiences. Whether you can apply them flexibly still depends on you.”

”Really?! Alright then, I’ll follow you, and from now on, you’ll be my master!” Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoqin was bursting with excitement, about to kneel and perform the ceremony of paying respect to her master.

”Hey, hey, hey, no, I just said you could follow me; I never said I would take you as my disciple!”

Huo Sining quickly stopped Jiang Xiaoqin, this little girl in her tracks, and said helplessly:

”I’ve already said that I can only broaden your horizons. Everything else is up to you. Let’s forget about the idea of being your master. If I take on a disciple at such a young age, people would say I’m overestimating myself.”

”I’m only a few years older than you in age, just follow me around and call me ’Sister’. Consider it like I’ve taken you as my sworn sister.”

Huo Sining smiled, thought for a moment, and casually took out a jade bracelet from her backpack—actually from her ’Space’—and placed it on Jiang Xiaoqin’s wrist: ”Let this be a meeting gift from your new sister.”

Huo Sining’s attitude on this matter was very firm because she well understood that even though she could now accurately judge the jadeite within the gambling stones and authenticate the authenticity of antiques, these skills were mainly reliant on the basic knowledge she had memorized and the powers of the Water-Repelling Pearl and the Heavenly Eye.

Unable to replicate these abilities for Jiang Xiaoqin, what she could teach her was indeed limited. She could pass on all her knowledge to Jiang Xiaoqin, but she was not capable of being Jiang Xiaoqin’s master.

”Okay then, I’ll call you Sister Huo from now on.”

Jiang Xiaoqin was a bit disappointed at not being accepted as a disciple, but thinking about being able to follow Huo Sining all the time, her mood instantly improved. She openly called out ’Sister Huo’ and happily looked at the jade bracelet Huo Sining had given her.

Jiang Xiaoqin’s unpretentious manner satisfied Huo Sining who nodded in approval.

Huo Sining was in a good mood after unexpectedly gaining a little sister, and after meeting with Su Jinyuan and chatting for a bit, she went back to her hotel room and went to sleep early.

April 30th marked the annual grand opening of the Ruili gambling event. Early in the morning, not even seven o’clock yet, Jiang Xiaoqin had run over to Huo Sining’s hotel room and was knocking on her door.

”Sister Huo, hurry up, the market opens today!”

Jiang Xiaoqin knocked so hard that the door clattered, waking Huo Sining from her sleep.

Once her mind gradually cleared and she realized who was outside the door, Huo Sining was suddenly filled with irritation, finding herself speechless at the girl’s impetuous nature.

This child really was a carbon copy of Su Qingqing, perhaps even more so.

Groggily getting up to open the door, Huo Sining saw Jiang Xiaoqin’s face beaming with a flattering smile.

Huo Sining felt helpless, brushing her teeth while telling Jiang Xiaoqin to wake up the others as well.

Jiang Xiaoqin hurried off toward the rooms of the others, not stopping until she had called everyone up, then joyously sat on the sofa swinging her legs while waiting.

A group of people complained as they got out of bed, but knowing that today was the opening day of the market, everyone quickly got their enthusiasm back. After having a quick breakfast outside, they headed to the gambling stone plaza.

Upon arrival, though the betting wasn’t officially underway yet, the plaza was already teeming with people who had come to participate. Various vendors were hawking their goods around the perimeter.

What Huo Sining found most interesting was that someone was actually selling a booklet, purported to be insider information for the current betting round. The booklet included a detailed introduction to the gambling categories and targets, including the rough performance of each lot and odds predictions. However, the booklet was a bit pricey, selling for two hundred yuan each.

Seeing many people inquiring about it, Su Qingqing couldn’t help but ask Jiang Xiaoqin beside her. This was also Su Qingqing’s first time attending the Ruili gambling event, and she couldn’t help but be curious about such things.

”Those are all scammers; don’t believe them. That booklet can be obtained for free inside the service center; there’s absolutely no need to spend money. These people obtained the booklet in advance, copied it, and are specifically scamming the rookies around the plaza. The newcomers don’t know any better, so they think they’ve snagged a great deal by spending two hundred yuan and are quite pleased with themselves,”

Jiang Xiaoqin sneered in disdain.

Su Qingqing was stunned to hear this, and Huo Sining couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Such opportunist schemes appear to be rampant everywhere. The person who came up with this idea to swindle money is really quite a talent. It’s incredible they thought of it!

The Ruili gambling event was even busier than the last Pingzhou Public Plate, but due to the special nature of the gambling materials, many of the rough stones at the Ruili Public Market had decreased in quality, which significantly reduced its national influence compared to the Pingzhou Public Plate.

However, if one were to truly assess it, the position of the Ruili gambling event in the jade betting industry was not inferior to the Pingzhou Public Plate.

As most of the gambling stone raw materials in the country are first transported from Myanmar to Ruili before being distributed to the rest of Huaxia Country, Ruili has become the hub for the country’s jade stone transportation. No matter how famous the Pingzhou Public Plate might be, it ultimately lacks a certain edge, Ruili always serves as the first station in the domestic jade betting industry, playing the role of the big boss.

At last year’s Pingzhou Public Plate, even the King Biao had a complete loss. This time, the Ruili gambling event was determined to outshine the Pingzhou event.

Especially since there were rumours on the streets that several Emerald Heavenly Beads and a Glass-Type Imperial Green worth over a hundred million had been found recently. Even the organizers of the Ruili gambling event were stirred by this news.

Everyone was speculating whether this round of the Ruili event could unveil jadeite more impressive than the Emerald Heavenly Beads and the Glass-Type Imperial Green. The Ruili organizers were fanning the flames, and soon the whole of Ruili was abuzz with tales of the found Jade Heaven Beads and imperial greens. This was also why Huo Sining was besieged on Gambling Stone Street.

Huo Sining and the others were waiting on the periphery when suddenly the stretch metal doors of the betting building opened from the inside. Five or six people emerged and walked towards the crowd.

Seeing these people, Huo Sining paused slightly because she recognized two of them among the five or six. One was Ji Kun, and the other was none other than Qin Lianshan, president of the Imperial Capital Jade Association, whom she had met in Diecuiyuan.

If even Qin Lianshan was making a move, then the others by his side must be the helmsmen of the Ruili Jade Association.

Qin Tian and Ouyang Jun had not expected Elder Qin to appear here, and both were somewhat puzzled.

”Why is your grandfather here? When did he come over?” Ouyang Jun couldn’t help asking.

Qin Tian shook his head.

At that moment, several Land Rovers approached from not too far and stopped outside the plaza. A few people got out of the cars, among whom was someone she recognized. It was Liu Yuxuan, the woman who had sold her the discarded Mogang rock waste at the gambling stone plaza several days earlier.
