Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 782: Chapter 778: Irresistible Itch

”Don’t get worked up just yet, let me finish what I have to say!”

Seeing Liao Song stand up angrily and ready to charge off to settle the score with Wang Zhongwei and Zhong Yuejin, Zhong Zifan hurriedly pulled him back, mixed with helplessness and incredulous laughter.

”They did try to scam me out of my money, but Huo Sining saw through them.”

Zhong Zifan hurriedly explained and recounted in detail what happened at the Wang Family, and then repeated Huo Sining’s intention to publicly gamble stones at their shop.

After hearing Zhong Zifan’s words, Liao Song was amazed by how Huo Sining used mere words to create a rift between Wang Zhongwei and Zhong Yuejin at the Wang Family. He glanced at the two pieces of raw material in the bag and then nodded his head without any hesitation: ”Okay!”

Liao Song agreed so readily that Huo Sining was somewhat taken aback, ”What?”

”I said I agree, I accept Miss Huo’s decision. Tomorrow, you can process these two pieces of raw material in the store,” Liao Song said with a smile.

Seeing Liao Song’s forthright attitude, Huo Sining felt surprised and asked with interest, ”Mr. Liao, aren’t you afraid I’ll completely ruin them?”

”I trust Miss Huo’s judgment, not to mention your track record in Ruili. Just the fact that you are Master Zhou Shitao’s favored student, you surely wouldn’t want to damage Mr. Zhou’s reputation over two pieces of stone!”

Liao Song was firm in his expression, showing no sign of doubt about Huo Sining’s decision.

At Liao Song’s explanation, Huo Sining was left speechless, unable to find words to refute.

It seemed that Liao Song’s trust in her wasn’t due to her stone gambling skill but because she was Zhou Shitao’s disciple.

This realization left Huo Sining feeling frustrated, as if Liao Song made her sound like she was exploiting her master’s fame to get by.

”Miss Huo, you can rest assured. I will have the staff notify others right away, and tomorrow we’ll call more people to support the event!”

Upon hearing Liao Song’s reply, Zhong Zifan also stopped opposing Huo Sining’s plan and immediately instructed the staff to call their familiar friends in the circle.

Although Huo Sining felt somewhat disappointed, she was still pleased to see the support from Liao Song and Zhong Zifan.

”Fine, tomorrow at nine in the morning, right in front of your store, I guarantee I’ll deliver you two an enormous surprise! Forget about this Sand Hole Raw Material, I’m currently running a Jade Company and I’m in need of good quality raw stone. I didn’t plan to resell the jadeite I extract from it; however, I don’t need what’s inside the Hei Wusha. When it’s processed, it’ll be my gift to you, as a congratulatory present for the opening of your new store!”

Hearing this, Liao Song and Zhong Zifan both smiled and didn’t take her words too seriously.

Because the Hei Wusha was counterfeit raw material and had made a bad impression, they didn’t really pay much attention to this fake block. Even though Huo Sining said she would process it, their preconceptions made them believe that even if jadeite was extracted from this raw material, it would at best be a low-grade type, probably not worth much money.

However, as dismissive as they were about this unremarkable block now, when they would later on see the treasure hidden within, they would be as heart-pounding and amazed by its beauty as they were nonchalant now, and they would be equally shocked about Huo Sining’s promise of a congratulatory gift.

Liao Song and Zhong Zifan were quite efficient, and it only took half a day to notify everyone they intended to reach. Originally, when they heard that Zhong Zifan’s shop would be publicly gambling stones the next morning, those in the stone-gambling circles responded casually without much concern.

But then the callers added that the owner of the material was a Mysterious Miss Huo, and when these people heard she was the one processing the stones, their faces immediately tightened up and their expressions changed dramatically.

”Is it the Mysterious Miss Huo who won the nickname ’Jade Beauty’ and who extracted imperial green and the Emerald Heavenly Bead?”

Almost everyone’s first reaction upon hearing the name ’Mysterious Miss Huo’ was disbelief, instinctively questioning in response.

The young worker charged with making the calls couldn’t clarify these details, he could only vaguely explain, ”I’m not sure about that. All I know is Miss Huo seems to be a friend of our boss, and she seems to have come over from S City.”

From S City?! Mysterious Miss Huo was indeed currently in S City, and Jade Beauty was rooted there. If it really was her, then they definitely wanted to attend the stone-gambling event tomorrow.

Without a confirmed answer, how could they be content? Those who had contact information for Zhong Zifan and Liao Song immediately contacted them.

When Zhong Zifan and Liao Song received the calls, they exchanged wry smiles, understanding why these people were calling. However, Huo Sining didn’t mind them revealing her visit to Fuzhou, so Zhong Zifan and Liao Song could still manage the situation.

”Xiao Zhong, you sure keep your cards close to your chest. I didn’t expect you to be acquainted with Miss Huo. What’s the situation with the raw material she’s going to process? Can you give me some inside information?”

Finding out it was indeed the famous Miss Huo from Ruili, their spirits lifted instantly, and they were all eager and itching to move.

Some were ready to bid on the processed material revealed by Huo Sining, some were simply curious to see her gambling stones, and of course, there were those who wanted to probe privately, looking for shortcuts.

Zhong Zifan, being as capable as he was, handled these inquiries with ease. No matter who called, he provided the same response:

Indeed, the one processing the stones is the Mysterious Miss Huo, but since the raw material belongs to her, if you’re looking for information, he has nothing to disclose. If you want to know the specifics, please come to the store yourself at nine tomorrow morning.

The more evasive Zhong Zifan was, revealing not a single detail, the more these people felt like ants on a hot pan, exceedingly anxious and eager to know more about the material Huo Sining would process the next day.

Even those who were out of the loop and originally didn’t plan to join in the next day’s hustle became curious after witnessing everyone else’s anxious behaviors and decided to pay a visit as well.

Who exactly was this Mysterious Miss Huo, and why did the announcement of her gambling stones unsettle so many people, making them wish they could see her in action right away?

Filled with curiosity, they resolved to take a look for themselves tomorrow.

Thus, the snowball kept growing larger and larger, what started as a gathering of a dozen people ended up growing beyond Zhong Zifan and Liao Song’s expectations.
