Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1362: Chapter 1347: A Villain’s Arrogance in Success

Upon hearing her name, Huo Sining glanced at Elder Zhu. Seeing him nod, she slowly stood up.

In fact, Huo Sining didn’t want to go on stage right now. She felt that if she presented her item after the Dongyang delegation, it might create a stronger contrast.

However, the order of appearance was arranged according to the seating order, and the host had already announced it. Huo Sining couldn’t change it.

But sometimes, indeed, fate is just so miraculous.

Just as Huo Sining was preparing to leave her seat and step onto the stage, unexpectedly, at that moment, someone from the Dongyang delegation suddenly stood up and shouted at the stage:

”Hold on!”

Everyone, including Elder Zhu, looked at the person who rudely interrupted the exhibition in surprise. Even the host’s eyes flashed with astonishment and confusion, not knowing what this person intended to do.

The person who stood up was from the Dongyang delegation, Watanabe Yasu.

”Sir, do you have any comments?”

Huo Sining frowned, turning around to look at Watanabe Yasu in disbelief. Was this person out of his mind?

”I have a treasure, a masterpiece that, once revealed, will undoubtedly overturn the history of Huaxia Country! I think the Huaxia representatives should wait until our Dongyang representatives have showcased this gem before taking the stage! You might feel ashamed and embarrassed after seeing this work of art, and won’t dare to show yourselves again!”

Watanabe Yasu looked at Huo Sining with eyes full of provocation, the demeanor of a petty man who has gained an advantage and is flaunting it.

As soon as Watanabe Yasu spoke, everyone at the Huaxia representative seat stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at Watanabe Yasu.

Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt between the two delegations, the security personnel at the venue turned pale, preparing to rush in and stop them, yet at this moment, Huo Sining suddenly laughed quietly, looking at Watanabe Yasu with a meaningful gaze.

”Mr. Watanabe, are you sure you want to go on stage first?”

This light laughter from Huo Sining surprised everyone. Anyone could see the tension between Dongyang and the Chinese side; the Jade Clothing was well known.

Watanabe Yasu’s words were clearly intended to smear Huaxia Country, aiming to publicly slap the Huaxia delegation in the face. In this situation, as the Chinese team leader, shouldn’t Huo Sining be furious? How could she still be laughing?

Watanabe Yasu thought his provocation would make Huo Sining shamefully upset and speak without thinking, but to his surprise, the woman named Huo before him was more composed and calm than he had imagined.

Even though his words were so harsh, Huo Sining still maintained a polite smile.

This made Watanabe Yasu hesitated slightly, feeling a faint unease and worry. Could it be that this woman truly had the ability to turn the tide?

Collectors from other countries were once again discussing, and many were gloatingly watching Huo Sining’s side, especially some of Huaxia’s hostile nations, who started discussing unrestrainedly.

The host on stage smiled stiffly; she hadn’t expected such an unexpected situation to occur as the event had just begun, which was a huge challenge for her.

But as for the organizers, upon seeing the conflict between the Huaxia and Dongyang representatives, they seemed invigorated, as if injected with adrenaline. The TV station’s cameras even pointed directly at Huo Sining and Watanabe Yasu, giving them close-up shots.

The earlier treasure displays, while enjoyable, were basically ordinary appraisals without much major news to capture.

Now, with the Chinese and Dongyang representatives directly facing off, the organizers couldn’t have wished for anything better. Otherwise, they would have found a way to create an opportunity for conflict between the Huaxia and Dongyang delegations.

This was live broadcast; although the treasure display segment was interesting, it was rather dull for some senior viewers. Such sudden incidents were the audience’s favorites. The more intense the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese sides, the higher the CBS ratings would go!

Over there, Li Jun frowned, signaling to the host on stage, who immediately seemed to receive direction and walked to the front, calmly saying to Watanabe Yasu:

”Sir, changing the order of appearances on a whim does not comply with our convention’s rules. According to our procedure, it is currently time for the Huaxia delegation’s expert to present their treasure, and next it will be your Dongyang delegation’s turn. We hope you can wait patiently; it’s not too late to showcase your treasure next!”

Watanabe Yasu said nothing, only stood there gazing at Huo Sining, his expression of arrogance and disdain openly displayed.

Huo Sining frowned, not missing the fact that several cameras were swiveling above her.

This treasure appraisal conference was broadcast live; the TV station had no reason to miss such a major news event.

The Americans are not like the Huaxia people; they are straightforward and used to being assertive, with little regard for the image of other countries.

However, Huaxia people are all gentlemen. Since the Dongyang people have spoken, how could she not yield? Since Watanabe Yasu wanted to go first, Huo Sining happily obliged.

”Host, since Mr. Watanabe is so confident, how can I not give him the chance? I only hope, Mr. Watanabe, that you don’t regret it later!”

Huo Sining lifted her eyes to look at Watanabe Yasu, a charming smile on her face, yet her eyes carried a hint of imperceptible cunning and severity.

The smile on Watanabe Yasu’s face immediately disappeared, his eyes fixing grimly on Huo Sining.

Watanabe Yasu leading the provocation against Huo Sining was actually tacitly approved by the Dongyang delegation, and their purpose was merely to use this opportunity to strike at the Huaxia delegation. They never thought Huo Sining would truly make concessions.

Now, with Huo Sining agreeing so readily, it made Watanabe Yasu feel somewhat apprehensive and guilty.

His earlier words were blunt, essentially a challenge to the Huaxia delegation. If the Huaxia representatives presented their collection before the Jade Clothing was revealed, other national representatives would certainly believe their treasures inferior to the Jade Clothing.

If the Dongyang side presented first, then unless the Huaxia delegation could unveil a treasure more impressive than the Jade Clothing, they would be unable to overshadow Dongyang.

However, this was nearly impossible, unless the Huaxia experts could produce that legendary thing.

But as Watanabe Yasu knew, that thing disappeared after the Song Dynasty fell, and those so-called genuine pieces recorded in later generations were all forgeries. Even the one currently housed in the Glass Palace is actually a replica.

The Chinese side probably wouldn’t bring such an obvious counterfeit for exhibition.

Thinking this way, Watanabe Yasu regained his confidence, believing that Huo Sining was surely feigning mystique to scare him off.
