Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 110: Chapter 107 Scarcity of Resources

“That’s true,” Bai Guoming said, seeing Su Jinyuan had not agreed and felt a bit disappointed.

However, he was not a petty person. Even though Su Jinyuan didn’t agree, he still wanted to ensure everyone enjoyed the meal as a host, so upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, he quickly added with a smile:

“The owner of this restaurant is from Hengbin, Dongyang. I’ve heard that his family runs a fishing farm, and all the ingredients for this restaurant are airlifted directly to S City from the owner’s farm, which is why the ingredients here are extremely fresh, attracting so many customers.”

Huo Sining opened her mouth in astonishment, “Flown in from Dongyang? Just the freight cost must be exorbitant, right? How can the owner afford such luxury?”

“Anyway, the cost is passed on to the customer. There are plenty of rich people in the country, but high-quality restaurants are few. Dongyang people are not stupid; on the contrary, they are very shrewd. Moreover, Dongyang people are very particular about ingredients, and fresh ingredients can bring out the utmost flavor of a dish. It’s precisely because the restaurant owner adopts this approach that his business is so booming,” Bai Guoming explained.

Upon reflection, Huo Sining thought indeed, it made sense. Those Dongyang devils wouldn’t run a business at a loss. Although this seemed a bit outrageous, it wasn’t anything strange.

...

“But no wonder Dongyang people do this. Take sashimi, for example, Dongyang, Western Europe, and the United States are the three largest markets for Golden Spearfish products, especially Dongyang, which accounts for one-third of the world’s supply. The exquisitely fresh Golden Spearfish is one of the favorite seafood delicacies in Dongyang, especially Golden Spearfish sashimi, which is considered the best among sashimi and is also one of the main ingredients for sushi,” he said.

Bai Guoming picked up a slice of the snow-white and tender sashimi, smiling, “But this thing, our domestic market does not have it. In the East Sea, Bohai Sea, and Yellow Sea area, due to overfishing, the variety of fish has become increasingly scarce in recent years, and the quality of Golden Spearfish is very poor, with resources being extremely limited. So Dongyang people have to honestly scoop them out of their own ponds.”

Resource scarcity? A thought suddenly flashed through Huo Sining’s mind. With the Spiritual Energy she possessed, could she attract those marine resources to the coastal area?

However, this thought was just a fleeting one. Huo Sining felt that her idea was somewhat absurd and ridiculous. Even if she had Spiritual Energy, it wouldn’t be easy to introduce those populations into the inland sea.

What Huo Sining didn’t know at the time was that this idea of hers would soon be put into practice.

The meal finally came to an end amidst Huo Sining’s gorging. The table was in disarray, and Huo Sining felt her stomach was so full it was about to burst.

Bai Guoming’s invitation to Su Jinyuan had failed to achieve its purpose, so there was an unavoidable look of disappointment in his eyes. But as a businessman, he wouldn’t show his thoughts on his face, no matter what he was thinking.

Huo Sining actually had a rather good impression of him; at least he wasn’t the sneaky, insincere sort.

“Old Bai.” Just as the three of them were leaving the restaurant and preparing to go their separate ways, Su Jinyuan suddenly called out to him, “Have your sister come to my company tomorrow. I’ll find a mentor to guide her so that she won’t go to the public trading platform blindfolded, not understanding anything.”

Bai Guoming had already given up hope, but suddenly hearing Su Jinyuan’s words, he was stunned for two seconds before he realized what Su Jinyuan meant. His face immediately became overjoyed, and he quickly nodded, “Okay, I’ll personally take her to Donghua tomorrow.”

Huo Sining drove a BMW. Although she was a bit cautious at first and drove slowly, she gradually got the hang of it and became more confident. She quickly mastered the driving and made her way to the villa without any obstruction.

“Wow, you got a new car!” As soon as Huo Sining returned to the villa, she ran into Su Qingqing. Seeing the car Huo Sining had driven back, her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn’t help but come forward to touch it, asking in surprise, “This car looks pretty cool, how much did you pay for it?”

Huo Sining, however, felt a bit awkward and said with a wry smile, “It wasn’t me who bought it; it was your brother who gave it to me.”

After saying that, Huo Sining felt somewhat nervous, fearing that Su Qingqing might have some objections.

To her surprise, Su Qingqing showed not the slightest displeasure. Instead, her face lit up with a smile as she said, “That stingy guy would part with a feather, and he actually bought you a car? Ha-ha, Ningning, you’re really awesome. He usually doesn’t even like to give extra pocket money, but now we’re on the same team. We definitely have to figure out a way to squeeze more out of that guy’s mouth!”

Huo Sining was rendered speechless by these words. She had thought that Su Qingqing would get angry since a brother buying a car for someone else and not his own sister would cause any normal sister to feel jealous and upset. However, Su Qingqing didn’t show any signs of anger. On the contrary, she praised her and seemed to think she had done well; Su Qingqing truly didn’t play by the usual rules.

Back home, Huang Chengyi and Huang Hongying also thought it was great that Su Jinyuan bought Huo Sining a car. It would be convenient for Huo Sining to go anywhere in the future.

Initially anxious about Su Jinyuan buying her such an expensive car, feeling it somewhat inappropriate, Huo Sining saw everyone else treating it as a matter of course, and just like that, her slight unease dissipated.

Just like that, the eleven-day long holiday was over. On the first day back, the first thing Huo Sining did when she arrived at the school was to process her transfer to another department.

Perhaps it was due to that bucket of crabs, or maybe because Huo Sining had helped Ouyang Jun deal with the Feng Shui fish issue, but either way, Qin Shaoyou’s attitude toward Huo Sining had improved a lot. Her transfer went very smoothly and by the time the new student orientation ceremony began, she was sitting among the new students of the Biological Science Institute.

“Huo Sining, why haven’t you come to school?” While the president was giving a speech at the orientation ceremony, Huo Sining’s phone vibrated, it was a text from Luo Jinzhi.

“Oh, I’m here, but I changed departments. I’m now sitting with the new students at the College of Biology,” Huo Sining replied secretly.

“What? You changed departments?” Luo Jinzhi was a bit at a loss. She had finally made a friend and had even taken Huo Sining as a role model. However, without any notice, Huo Sining had gone to a different department.

“Because of the ornamental fish store I run, I figured the College of Biology could be more suitable for my future development, so I filled out the transfer application on the first day of school. But I didn’t think I would be accepted, which is why I didn’t tell you. The admission notice only came in these past few days. Sorry for telling you so late.”

Huo Sining also felt a bit embarrassed. In the past few days, between selling crabs, acknowledging relatives, and treating people, she had been too busy to get in touch with Luo Jinzhi.

“It’s alright. I also think the Biology department is more suitable for you than the Math department,” Luo Jinzhi sent the message, but her heart still felt somewhat let down.

“Even though I changed departments, we’re still good friends, right? You can come to me whenever you need anything,” Huo Sining said with a reassuring smile.

Luo Jinzhi had thought their friendship was over, but her spirits lifted when she heard Huo Sining’s words, “Really?”

Huo Sining chuckled, “Of course it’s true. When we have time, I’ll go with you to visit your hometown’s fishing village.”
