Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1952: Chapter 1855: Preparations

Zhou Shitao was utterly confused by Huo Sining and couldn’t help but grumble, ”Weren’t you planning to vacation in Polante? You ended up staying in an American countryside for two days just to fundraise? In a place like that, how much money can you gather?”

Huo Sining couldn’t help but turn around, exchanged glances with the others behind her, and said with a smile:

”Initially, I thought Clayflo would go all out this time, hiking the price of those two beast heads to two or three billion, but it seems he’s not that ruthless.”

”If the single price of those two beast heads was raised to two or three billion US dollars, then I really couldn’t afford it and would have to rely on your assistance.”

”But if it’s just a billion, that’s really not a big deal. I can totally handle those two beast heads by myself.”

Zhou Shitao looked stunned, eyes wide open: ”Are you saying you guys just went to Oregon and managed to gather billions of US dollars? What did you do?”

The expression in Zhou Shitao’s eyes clearly showed suspicion and concern, as if afraid these kids were causing trouble abroad, doing something illegal.

Huo Sining didn’t explain, but Su Qingqing couldn’t hold back, interjecting with a laugh: ”Haha, Professor Zhou, rest assured, we certainly didn’t rob a bank or do anything bad, just dug dirt pits for two days.”

”Dug dirt pits?” Huang Zhenlong was puzzled.

On the side, Qin Lianshan suddenly recalled meeting this group at the hotel in the morning; they all looked exhausted and sore. When he asked where they had gone, their response was simply they went to Oregon to dig dirt pits.

Qin Lianshan assumed these kids were casually joking to brush off the old men, so he didn’t pursue it further. Now, hearing Su Qingqing mention digging again, he realized they weren’t joking; it was the truth.

”What’s really going on here? You guys stop holding out on us, it’s got all us old folks muddled.”

Qin Lianshan pressed eagerly.

Su Qingqing smiled with lips pursed, saying, ”It all started with a post I made online beforehand.”

Over the next few minutes, Su Qingqing laid out the whole story about how she posted online, Huo Sining led the group to Oregon, and they spent two days digging in Volcano Park.

After Su Qingqing’s account, the old men fell into complete silence, their eyes keenly fixed on Huo Sining, filled with incredulity and bewilderment.

For once, even Zhou Shitao was stunned by this event, eventually managing to dryly remark, ”So, you mean you spent the last two days in Oregon digging for diamonds, and you practically excavated the entire Volcano Park?”

Huo Sining nodded: ”You could say that.”

It wasn’t a mere excavation but a thorough and deep search. Huo Sining could assure that under her meticulous combing, within a surface area of five meters, Volcano Park’s large diamonds had been entirely depleted, leaving no stone unturned.

Of course, she dared not convey this to the old men before her, fearing their reactions might be even more exaggerated.

”Master Zhou, don’t doubt it, I witnessed it firsthand. At first, I didn’t believe in Huo Miss’s so-called Dragon Vein Seeking technique; I trusted my own intuition but found nothing, whereas Huo Miss’s insight was exceptionally sharp.”

”Once she entered the park, she accurately pinpointed spots based on soil and rock characteristics. If she said to dig somewhere, diamonds were certain in that location. At first, only small diamonds appeared, but as her experience grew, the diamonds became larger, enough to stun us!”

Li Jun gestured enthusiastically, his face full of admiration for Huo Sining, almost kowtowing in reverence.

Huo Sining was speechless, while Zhou Shitao’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Huang Zhenlong always knew Huo Sining was remarkable, but he hadn’t expected her to be this formidable. He swallowed instinctively and asked, ”Huo girl, level with me, how many diamonds did you dig in these two days, and how big were they?”

Huo Sining pondered briefly, then carelessly replied, ”Actually, not that many. Yesterday evening, while cleaning the diamonds, I counted them; aside from the worthless chips, there were about 127 pieces in total. The largest one is roughly the size of this clenched fist, the smallest possibly the size of a quail egg.”

Huang Zhenlong was utterly speechless, his mouth agape, unable to speak for a long time.

pieces, uttered from this young girl’s mouth as if insignificant, and according to her tone, she seemed regretful, unsatisfied with the number.

Zhou Shitao and Qin Lianshan were equally dumbfounded, while Xie Daoyuan chuckled bitterly, lamenting that the world had indeed changed from when he was a youth; otherwise, why would Huo begin speaking of hundreds of diamonds as easily as picking cabbages, while expressing disdain?

What struck the old men as exaggerated was Huo Sining’s description of these diamonds.

The largest one being fist-sized, even the smallest comparable to a quail egg—that’s...ridiculously large!

A diamond the size of a fist, at least six or seven hundred carats, surely qualifies as a colossal diamond, likely warranting a highly notable international auction ranking. It’s no wonder this girl used ”block” instead of ”piece”; such a diamond couldn’t be described as mere pieces.

Despite their vast experience, Zhou Shitao and the old experts were thoroughly astounded after hearing Huo Sining’s casual remarks.

Huang Zhenlong, the most impatient of them, couldn’t resist asking, ”Huo girl, how about the quality of these diamonds? Are you planning to sell them within half a month; do you have channels for that? Have you consulted experts for an appraisal; how much are these diamonds actually worth?”

Huo Sining smiled: ”Master Huang, have no worries. Most of those diamonds are of top quality and extremely valuable, with no trouble finding buyers. Moreover, should I sell them, exchanging them for those two beast heads shouldn’t be an issue; rest assured.”

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s confident words, Huang Zhenlong was finally relieved, nodding repeatedly: ”That’s good, that’s good.”
