Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1502: Truly Deserving of Her Reputation

”Miss Huo, which piece are we cutting first?”

Seeing Huo Sining holding two raw stones in her arms, Liao Song couldn’t help but ask eagerly.

Huo Sining took out the Ocean Blue Fluorite Type and smiled, ”Let’s do this one; it seems to perform better.”

As she spoke, she picked up a pen, drew a straight line across the stone and directly placed the raw material onto the stone cutting machine.

The size of the stone inside the Flower Green Species wasn’t large, so Huo Sining’s cut went quite deep, slicing off several inches of stone skin.

This method of stone cutting allows a quicker and more direct glimpse into the inside of the gambling stone. Liao Song and Zhong Zifan, having seen Huo Sining’s stone cutting skills before, were not surprised but rather found it quite natural.

But for the others gathered around, it was a different story. Just as Huo Sining was preparing to cut the stone, Zhao Lijun’s group had assembled, and the crowd eager for entertainment gathered too, standing in front of the stone cutting machine with curious faces.

These individuals originally gathered around Zhao Lijun looking for excitement; now, seeing Huo Sining’s brisk and decisive first cut with smooth, unapologetic movements, they subconsciously furrowed their brows, eyes filled with intense skepticism.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lijun fixated on Huo Sining’s hand movements, and after witnessing her fluid stone cutting action, his expression became quite complex.

Since discovering Huo Sining’s identity, Zhao Lijun’s perception of the young girl changed entirely.

Previously, when Huo Sining was selecting raw materials in the warehouse, she used only her hands without a magnifying glass or a flashlight, picking stones like choosing cabbages, which in Zhao Lijun’s eyes looked as amateurish as a novice.

Zhao Lijun assumed she was some spoiled young lady looking for mischief, hence his disdain.

Yet, to his utmost surprise, this seemingly insignificant young girl was the famed, mysterious Huo hailed as the Jade Queen in both Ruili and New York, currently stirring waves in the domestic stone gambling world.

Zhao Lijun found it hard to believe that such a modest young girl had accomplished gambling on the Jade Heaven Bead and imperial green in Ruili, even overwhelming the Gambling King Liu Chongren, and in New York, discerning a piece of legendary dragon stone species jadeite.

How could such an inconspicuous young girl possess such prowess?

At that moment, Zhao Lijun recalled Huo Sining’s prior casual conduct in the warehouse; connecting it to her identity, her nonchalant demeanor appeared increasingly uncanny.

Only now did Zhao Lijun realize that Huo Sining’s seemingly hasty selections were profoundly significant.

With this realization, Zhao Lijun’s gaze burned with intensity as he looked at the raw stone in Huo Sining’s hand, almost willing a hole into that gambling stone.

At this moment, with the wheel slicing through, the first cut was fully made. It had been a while since Huo Sining last cut stone; the sound of the wheel strangely excited her now.

With the first cut complete, the stone cutting machine halted, and the surrounding chatter fell silent, with only subdued murmurs from the warehouse, the area around the cutting machine was quiet; everyone was waiting to see the result.

Beside her, Zhong Zifan knew how to act; he directly poured a full basin of water, instantly washing away the debris on the cut surface, revealing the raw stone’s first cut face.

Seeing the result, Zhong Zifan stood dumbfounded, forgetting to set down the basin, staring intently at the raw stone on the cutting machine.

The spectators were similarly shocked, wide-eyed, surrounded by eerie silence.

Though the cut’s blue was ordinary in origin, its smooth tone and large jade meat shone brilliantly amidst the stones in the courtyard.

Zhao Lijun couldn’t quite articulate his feelings now; seeing the all-embracing ocean blue, he had only one thought:

Even randomly chosen raw stones offer such exquisite jade; is this the reputed skill of the Jade Queen? Compared to this stone gambling expert, his previous tantrums and harsh words seemed utterly foolish and clownish.

”It’s risen, it’s really gone up! One cut, and it’s ocean blue!”

Finally, someone among the crowd shouted loudly, breaking the silence. Although the ocean blue jade was simply a Flower Green Species, its rare vibrant blue color was enough to excite the onlookers.

The Ocean Blue Fluorite Type was different from the Oily Green Species Yang Green Zhao Lijun cut before; Oily Green inherently ranked lower than Flower Green. To gamble successfully on Oily Green, a large piece is essential, or it’s barely worth it.

But Ocean Blue is different; Ocean Blue is rarer than Yang Green, even a small piece of jade, though not large enough for bangles, would make a cherished pendant.

Zhao Lijun sighed deeply, admiring from the heart.

Everyone knew what type of materials were stored in Tengchong warehouses; it took Zhao Lijun hours to pick out one piece of Oily Green, which ended in ruin, yet Huo Sining spent less than ten minutes there, gambling a rare ocean blue; such prowess is undeniably real!

”The Jade Queen, truly lives up to her name!”

Unable to contain himself, Zhao Lijun muttered.

Nearby, a sharp-eared spectator heard Zhao Lijun and instantly exclaimed, ”Chairman Zhao, did you just say, Jade Queen? Is this young girl the famed Jade Queen who defeated the Gambling King Liu Chongren?”

Instinctively looking up, Zhao Lijun saw Huo Sining engrossed in drawing lines on the raw stone, seemingly unbothered by the commotion, exceptionally composed.

Witnessing this, Zhao Lijun chose not to hide anymore; since this young lady dared to step forward, she must be prepared for her identity to be exposed.

His expression immediately turned serious as he nodded to those around him, ”Yes, she is the recently sensational new star in the Magic Capital’s stone gambling circle, the Jade Queen Miss Huo Sining. Miss Huo’s prowess is evident to all; I think this Ocean Blue hasn’t disappointed anyone, right?”
