Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1344: Chapter 1339: Miss, Is Your Surname Huo?

”Miss, there are indeed many excellent jewelry companies in China, but our company in America has absolute strength. Your piece of jade is quite good, and if you sell it to our company, the price will be at least one million US dollars. You can rest assured of this, I can guarantee that our company will give you the maximum profit and won’t let you suffer any loss!”

Seeing that Huo Sining was hesitant to speak, the manager became anxious. Even he was tempted by this piece of Silver-Inlaid Yunnan Jade. If he could bring it back to headquarters, it would surely cause a sensation. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to get promoted to store manager or maybe even be recalled to headquarters.

”Sorry, Mr. Manager, I have use for this piece of material and don’t intend to sell it.”

Huo Sining glanced at the manager, spoke calmly, and then turned to walk towards the teahouse.

Even before this piece of material was revealed, Huo Sining had already made up her mind that she was unwilling to sell it. It wasn’t just because it was so rare, but because it contained pure silver.

Jade inlaid with gold or silver might sound vulgar, but this piece of Silver-Inlaid Jade is different; it truly is quite impressive. Moreover, Huo Sining already has a piece of Gold-Inlaid Jade, so with this Silver-Inlaid Jade, it perfectly forms a pair.

This is also why Huo Sining, after just one look, was drawn to this piece of jade. She already had a new idea, deciding to use these two pieces to create a series of products to debut at the next quarter’s new product launch.

It was already past five o’clock, and most of the people who were having tea in the teahouse had left, leaving only a few customers still waiting anxiously to gamble on stones.

Over there, Gu Xu and Su Qingqing, along with three others, had already grown impatient. Seeing Huo Sining come out, they first sighed in relief, but upon noticing Huo Sining’s empty hands, they were immediately perplexed.

In their understanding, given Huo Sining’s exceptional skill in gambling on stones, once she took action, it would never result in something futile.

Now Huo Sining came out empty-handed, could it be that she lost the bet?

The five exchanged glances, each interpreting the other’s expressions, then cautiously observed Huo Sining’s demeanor.

Unfortunately, Huo Sining was far too adept at concealing her emotions. Her face remained serene, revealing no hint of any issue.

”Ningning...” Su Qingqing’s eyes darted about as she looked at the bag Huo Sining was holding, ”Where’s the jade? Didn’t you really lose?”

Huo Sining smiled mysteriously, neither admitting victory nor defeat, but instead looked at the time and said to the three of them:

”This afternoon tea certainly took a long time, shall we head back? I bet those seniors must be getting anxious now.”

Su Qingqing, teased by Huo Sining, felt as if a cat was scratching at her heart, eager to snatch Huo Sining’s bag to see for herself.

Huo Sining had already signed the agreement, and the group of four was preparing to settle the bill and leave.

Just then, the manager from the inner hall hurried over, looking reluctant to give up, and eagerly said to Huo Sining:

”Miss, our Young Master Liu is currently in New York, and he earnestly requests that you wait here for a moment. He will be here shortly and wishes to discuss the matter of the jade with you personally.”

Young Master Liu? Huo Sining frowned slightly, remaining silent for a few seconds before nodding to Gu Xu, Su Qingqing, and the others. The six followed the manager into a private room in the teahouse to wait.

When Huo Sining took out the piece of Silver-Inlaid Yunnan Jade, everyone, including Gu Xu, was astonished.

Gu Xu, having been around Huo Sining for some time, had seen quite a bit of superior jadeite material, but this type of Silver-Inlaid Jade was still a first for them.

Everyone, in their shock, had the same thought: this treasure must not be sold. Such a rare find is hard to come by, and handing it over would surely lead to regret later.

Huo Sining never intended to sell it. She had acquired such a good piece of jade for just fifty US dollars, which was already a bargain. Since the Young Master Liu of the teahouse was eagerly inviting her, it would be somewhat impolite and inconsiderate to leave abruptly without even greeting the host.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Young Master Liu rushed into the teahouse.

As soon as he entered, everyone was stunned.

The reason for Huo Sining’s astonishment was not because of anything else but because this Young Master Li had two others following behind him.

Although the ones who showed up at the Xianyang Yunling Ancient Tomb were active at night, and Mr. Huang, who appeared later, was wrapped up completely, the intense aura he gave off was still clear in Huo Sining’s memory.

The middle-aged man following behind Young Master Li was dressed in black Tang Dynasty attire, his complexion somewhat pale, but his sharp demeanor immediately reminded Huo Sining of Mr. Huang, who had suddenly appeared behind the Oil Rat. The figure, the aura, even the quirky feeling he gave her all matched perfectly.

However, since Huo Sining had been secretly trailing them that day, even though she now recognized the man as Mr. Huang from the ancient tomb, she dared not show it on her face. She merely glanced at him before turning her attention to the twenty-something woman standing behind Young Master Li.

This woman was tall, with a bright and beautiful face, and her exquisite oval face carried an innate arrogance, giving off an aura that warded people away.

If recognizing Mr. Huang relied on judging his figure and aura, then recognizing this woman was based on Huo Sining’s exceptional memory.

Indeed, Huo Sining had seen this woman before. Although it was a brief encounter, at the moment she saw the woman, an image flashed in her mind.

Back in Mindong, when Huo Sining accompanied Luo Jinzhi to Mei Yuan to attend Luo Jinzhi’s class reunion, at the elevator exit of the hotel, a manager leading the way briefly crossed paths with a woman, who then, after a quick glance at Huo Sining, turned to walk into the corridor leading to the inner courtyard.

Even though it was just a few seconds, the woman left a deep impression on Huo Sining because when the woman turned to leave, Huo Sining accidentally noticed a red mark behind the woman’s ear, similar to the one she had.

While lost in her memories, Young Master Li quickly regained his composure and, somewhat surprised, asked, ”Is your last name Huo, Miss?”
