Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 239: Chapter 236: Don’t Act Cute After Gaining an Advantage Chapter 239: Chapter 236: Don’t Act Cute After Gaining an Advantage Exiting the conference room, Bai Yishan’s nerves were still taut.

Although she had great confidence in Huo Sining, being in the midst of the event still made her incredibly nervous. Her composure just now had been an act, with so many people watching, she felt immense pressure, worried about making mistakes, and fearful that the Zhou Family might pull a fast one at the last moment.

Fortunately, the Zhou Family hadn’t caused any trouble by refusing to acknowledge the deal or using their influence to suppress others, and everything went smoothly on the way out.

Bai Yishan’s heart was still pounding rapidly. She took a deep breath to relax and then approached Huo Sining, smiling as she asked, “How was that, my performance wasn’t bad, right?”

Huo Sining nodded, giving Bai Yishan a thumbs up.

“Today’s jadeite gambling event was definitely full of climaxes and splendid moments!”

Yin Zeyan also left the stage, but the ocean blue jadeite in his hands now seemed a bit superfluous.

This piece of jadeite had been specifically requested by Yin Zeyan from Father Yin to help Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan wanted to trap Zhou Zhen, but it turned out to be entirely unnecessary.

At this thought, Yin Zeyan couldn’t help but give a wry smile. There was an emotion in his glance towards Huo Sining that others couldn’t understand.

Yin Zeyan’s face was actually quite intimidating, but Bai Yishan had not forgotten how Yin Zeyan had helped her with stone gambling on the stage, so she felt quite fond of this otherwise unpleasant-looking stranger.

“Sir, thank you so much for your help just now. Without your help with the jadeite, I really wouldn’t have known what to do.”

Bai Yishan said with a smile as she expressed her gratitude, but Yin Zeyan just waved his hand and sighed, “Miss Bai, you don’t need to be polite. Your eye for stone gambling is sharp and skilled; you truly impressed me!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yishan blushed and hastily waved her hands, explaining, “No, no, no, you’re mistaken. This raw material isn’t mine, actually it’s…”

However, it was at this moment that Huo Sining interrupted Bai Yishan’s words. She looked at the piece of Blue Water Piao Hua in Yin Zeyan’s hands and asked with a smile, “Senior Brother Yin, are you selling this piece of Blue Water Piao Hua?”

Seeing Huo Sining interrupt Bai Yishan, Yin Zeyan thought to himself that his guess had been right, and that piece of granite indeed belonged to this Huo Sining!

While thinking this, Yin Zeyan kept a smile on his face and shook his head, “I’m sorry, Junior Sister Huo, this raw material belongs to my father. I’ve only borrowed it for the competition and have to return it afterwards, so I can’t decide whether to sell it or not.”

Though Huo Sining feigned disappointment on her face, she did not press the matter, saying with a smile, “That is a pity. Sister Yishan’s studio has just opened, and we’re really in need of some quality materials.”

“Senior Brother Yin? Junior Sister Huo? You two know each other?” Only then did Bai Yishan realize there seemed to be something amiss in the way the two were addressing each other.

Huo Sining nodded with a smile and introduced Bai Yishan, “This is Yin Zeyan, he’s the senior brother from the same martial arts school as Su Qingqing, so I just call him ‘Senior Brother’ along with Qingqing. Anyway, we’re all from S University, so it doesn’t seem wrong to call him ‘Senior Brother,’ right?”

Yin Zeyan nodded. While the three of them were talking, a ruckus suddenly erupted nearby, causing Huo Sining and the others to freeze and look in the direction of the noise.

“What’s happening over there?” Bai Yishan asked, puzzled.

Yin Zeyan suddenly remembered something and turned back to Bai Yishan with a smile, “That should be the payout for the outside bets. I remember Miss Bai, the odds for your rough stone were quite high, didn’t you place a bet?”

“Oh no!” Bai Yishan slapped her forehead and exclaimed, “I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. Ningning and I both bet fifty thousand, with odds of one to ten, we’re going to get back five hundred thousand!”

At this, Bai Yishan couldn’t sit still any longer, she grabbed Huo Sining and ran to the other side of the venue. Huo Sining had no choice but to run along. It wasn’t long before Bai Yishan was waving her phone around, looking like a nouveau riche, “I got the transfer of five hundred thousand, Ningning, did you get it? Quick, count the zeros and see if it’s right. If not, we must go and settle the score with the Zhou Family!”

Seeing Bai Yishan’s flustered behavior, Huo Sining couldn’t help but feel both amused and annoyed. She had previously thought Su Qingqing was a bit silly, and now she thought Bai Yishan seemed to be heading in a similar direction, and she couldn’t help but tease:

“Enough already, you’re acting all coy after getting a bargain. Look at you, just half a million, compared to your studio it’s merely a drop in the ocean. Let’s hurry back, you’re only free right now, I bet after today your shop will be too busy to manage!”

Bai Yishan had spent most of her ten million funds, so of course she cared about the money. But even with the sight of money making her eyes wide, she knew this wasn’t the time to be excited. She laughed embarrassedly and stuffed her phone back into her purse.

They had managed to get some free advertising, but they were unclear about the effectiveness. Bai Yishan was somewhat anxious, “Does this really work?”

Huo Sining gave her a deadpan look, “No kidding, if that doesn’t work, then any other advertising you do will be even more useless. I’m telling you, you’ve got to strike while the iron is hot and stay busy riding this momentum.”

“Huh?” Bai Yishan didn’t understand.

Huo Sining nodded toward a few reporters from TV stations and hinted:

“Didn’t you give the address of your physical store to those reporters who interviewed you? I bet they’ll definitely check out Chenghuang Temple later. When they do, find a way to showcase all the raw materials in your studio, let everyone see the strength of your studio.”

“Jadeite jewelry isn’t like other things. Customers are shrewd; they won’t take action until they see the goods. Having the raw materials in hand will give customers the confidence to place orders in your studio!”

Bai Yishan nodded at these words, and Huo Sining continued, “That’s not enough, though. It would be best to find someone who can build websites to create an official site for you, uploading photos of those raw materials in a visually appealing way, letting everyone see the true strength of your studio online.”

This was a trick Huo Sining had learned from the online stores of a few years in the future, similar to the sales model adopted by Xiaomi phones. One shouldn’t underestimate the virtual network, the vast data collective. An official website’s power is undeniably huge and might form a significant consumption chain in the future.

However, Huo Sining’s suggestion didn’t catch Bai Yishan’s attention as much as expected. She thought setting up an official website was a bit of a hassle and redundant, and since she didn’t understand this stuff, nor did she know anyone who could build websites.

Huo Sining, feeling helpless, thought for a moment and gave her Jin Chenyu’s number: “This is my high school teacher, he’s very good with computers. You can go to him and let him help you make one. Don’t underestimate the power of an official website, in a few years it’s going to be widespread, and you’ll realize how important it is!”
