Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1446: City of Sin

Li Jun’s new store opening had him ask Huo Sining for help in picking out a piece from his batch of goods.

Huo Sining had already seen them when they were still in the hands of the South Sea Country F patrol, so choosing a piece that could bring gains was a rather simple task for her.

That morning, Huo Sining accompanied Li Jun in the ribbon-cutting at the new store. Many people gathered outside to watch the festivities — both Chinese and some Americans interested in jadeite, along with quite a few curious but clueless onlookers.

Afraid of putting on too much of a show, Huo Sining didn’t dare pick the best one — she chose a piece that could reveal the glutinous rice variety instead. Without any help from the Stone Solver Master, she personally took up the task, making a few bold cuts. Then, she poured clean water over the stone chips, washing away the sandy debris and revealing a sparkling, translucent, beautiful jadeite.

”It’s risen, it’s risen!” As soon as the raw stone increased in value, the store’s workers excitedly shouted, and Li Jun beside them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he’s seen Huo Sining’s stone-solving skills firsthand, Li Jun was a bit anxious, worried that something might go wrong with Huo Sining today. However, clearly, his fears were unnecessary; unless intentionally done by Huo Sining, mistakes are simply impossible when betting on jade stones.

As the New York Treasure Appraisal Conference hadn’t happened long ago, Huo Sining has now become a popular figure in America, especially with her uniquely exquisite Huaxia features. Standing on the podium, combined with such skilled stone-solving techniques, she was immediately recognized.

”Isn’t that Miss Huo from the Treasure Appraisal Conference?”

”Yes, it seems so, really does! That’s the Huaxia beauty, and she’s even more beautiful in person than on TV!”

”CBS even replayed the Treasure Appraisal Conference a few days ago, I watched it again, this Miss Huo is really amazing, she’s practically my idol!”

”I watched it too; she seems to have solved a piece of dragon stone species, reportedly worth over a billion US Dollars!”

”No wonder she managed to win again today; someone who can solve a dragon stone species certainly seems to be an expert!”

”That’s for sure, I’ve specially searched online, in Huaxia Country, Miss Huo is known as the Jade Queen, she seems to have gambled against the Gambling King of Huaxia Country, and won several rounds!”

”Really? I’ll have to go back and check it out.”

”You guys keep chatting, I’m going to pick a piece and try my luck. With Miss Huo solving stones first, I feel I’ll definitely be able to reveal jadeite today too!”

”...”

The celebrity effect has always been an effective tool for businesses to boost sales, yet Li Jun didn’t even anticipate, inviting Huo Sining for ribbon-cutting and stone solving would have such an impact.

When those onlookers recognized Miss Huo as the ratings queen from the New York Treasure Appraisal Conference, one after another became enthusiastic, not only the Chinese but even the Americans normally uninterested in jadeite eagerly attempted to squeeze into the store, selecting raw materials without restraint.

With such a result, Huo Sining obviously felt happy for Li Jun; it looks like his store has made a great debut.

Returning to the hotel, Huo Sining originally planned to take a few girls and kids to tour America’s famous attractions in various states, but somehow, since arriving in Los Angeles, the competitive gambling she once abhorred kept presenting itself repeatedly.

Running into the He Family at the airport was one thing, but then seeing the WGC news related to Las Vegas on the hotel TV was another, followed by a call from Ouyang Jun — he and Song Hui were planning to go to Las Vegas, asking if she’d join, and that was not all. After attending Li Jun’s new store opening ceremony, back at the hotel, she even received a flyer for a group tour to Las Vegas along with a live viewing of the WGC in the lobby.

An unavoidable situation, the companions, including Bai Yishan and Qibao, all stared at her with expectant eyes, each holding that flyer in their hands.

Huo Sining felt her forehead lining with frustration, finally defeated by the pleading looks of these women and children, she compromised: ”Alright, then let’s go to Las Vegas!”

Upon hearing Huo Sining concede, Su Qingqing was the first to leap up, rushing over to hug Huo Sining, shouting, ”Great, Ningning I love you! Las Vegas, here I come!”

Huo Sining couldn’t help but sigh heavily, repeatedly telling herself she’s only taking these ancestors on a trip, even if they go, she won’t contact the He Family.

That afternoon, they bought tickets to Las Vegas, embarking grandly on the flight to the city of sin.

Las Vegas derives from Spanish, meaning ”fertile grassland,” for it is surrounded by desolate desert and wilderness; Las Vegas is the sole oasis with springs amidst the vast desert.

Such a barren and arid wasteland suddenly rose to prominence, transforming from a giant playground into an extravagant entertainment city filled with indulgence and decadence.

In just ten years, Las Vegas reborn, becoming the largest city in America’s Nevada state, a massive tourism, shopping, and vacation center city centered around the gambling industry.

It can be said that among the ten largest resort hotels in the world, nine of them are located here. As a result, Las Vegas has become the ”World Entertainment Capital” and ”Marriage Capital,” as well as a renowned vacation destination, attracting countless couples and tycoons to visit.

Casinos are a gold mine; the wealthier people are, the more addicted to gambling they become. Once caught in the habit, it becomes impossible to quit.

Las Vegas, as the leader in the gambling industry, attracts global tycoons, including Dongyang magnates, Arab princes, Hollywood stars, and even Huaxia City has settled in Las Vegas, quickly becoming a gathering place for Asian Americans.

Since arriving in Las Vegas, naturally Huo Sining and her group couldn’t avoid visiting the casinos, and Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan were also excited. Left with no choice regarding these two women, after moving into Caesar’s Palace, Huo Sining took a break in the suite with Qibao and Wu Ya, while Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan had already disappeared to the casino.

Caesar’s Palace is a themed casino resort hotel, located at the heart of Las Vegas, lavishly decorated, exuding Greek and Roman styles. This was the reason why Huo Sining booked this suite without hesitation upon first sight—it’s just so luxurious. Knowing she might not have many chances to visit such a place again in her lifetime, now that she’s here, she certainly planned to stay and revel.
