Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1349: CBS Ratings

Wu Jun and Huang Hanyun also felt particularly puzzled, because even they, who usually don’t pay attention to antiquities, knew how disadvantageous the appearance of the Jade Clothing would be for the Huaxia delegation.

So, isn’t Huo Sining bringing trouble upon herself by doing this?

However, Jiang Xiaoqin was lost in thought beside them. Although Jiang Xiaoqin hadn’t lived with Huo Sining for long, with her keen observation and understanding of Huo Sining, Jiang Xiaoqin felt Huo Sining was quite a schemer.

Those Dongyang fellows were still smugly thinking they had the upper hand, but Jiang Xiaoqin guessed that these Dongyang people hadn’t realized they were already trapped in Huo Sining’s scheme, utterly fooled by Sister Ning Ning!

Thinking of this, a gleam appeared in Jiang Xiaoqin’s eyes, and she fixed her gaze tightly on the TV screen, eagerly awaiting Huo Sining’s decisive counterattack.

While everyone in Jubao Pavilion was feeling extremely frustrated by Huo Sining’s self-effacing move, Guan Yu Beauty Shop was in a state of chaos.

Wu Jun’s phone rang, and the old shopkeeper anxiously reported to Wu Jun, ”Manager, something’s wrong! A group of people suddenly appeared on the street, claiming they want to smash our shop!”

”What?!” Wu Jun’s face changed upon hearing this, and he quickly sprang up from the sofa, exasperatedly saying, ”Smash the shop? Don’t panic, old shopkeeper. Have the employees find a safe place to hide. I’ll bring people over to help right away!”

After hanging up, Wu Jun’s face turned completely somber. He already suspected the reason behind the shop smashing; he didn’t know if those people were nationalist zealots, but he was sure that someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes, otherwise they wouldn’t have gathered so quickly to trouble Huo Sining’s jade shop.

Just as Wu Jun was hurriedly preparing to head to Wangfujing Street, Jiang Xiaoqin suddenly let out a scream of surprise and shouted at Wu Jun, ”Brother Wu, look! Sister Ning Ning is on stage!”

Wu Jun paused, turning back in surprise, and indeed saw Huo Sining carrying a safe onto the podium.

...

”This Jade Clothing was excavated from a Thousand-Year Ancient Tomb within Dongyang’s territory.”

”I remember, in Huaxia Country’s Han Dynasty, there were several such Jade Clothing sets, but their quality was far inferior to this one. The historians of Huaxia Country once claimed that only the Han Dynasty could produce such Jade Clothing, declaring it a unique artistic masterpiece of Han Dynasty Huaxia Country.”

On the stage of the treasure appraisal event, Sakai Ichiro was eloquently expressing his views. When he mentioned the Jade Clothing of Huaxia Country, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and he provocatively asked:

”Miss Huo, as the leader of the Huaxia Country delegation, can you explain to me what exactly is going on?”

”Could it be that your country’s historians are fabricating lies to deceive the world?”

”This Jade Clothing appeared within our Dongyang territory, doesn’t this mean that the supposed thousand-year history you Huaxia people speak of has been fabricated since the Han Dynasty?”

”Moreover, can we consider that the true origin of what you call Huaxia civilization is actually in our Dongyang?”

Sakai Ichiro’s words stunned all the experts present, and the whole venue burst into an uproar.

Countless eyes turned towards Huo Sining, and everyone’s hearts tightened, uncertain of how this young Huaxia woman would respond to Sakai Ichiro’s series of questions.

Even if that Jade Clothing was excavated from Dongyang, can it negate millennia of Huaxia civilization history?

Upon hearing Sakai Ichiro’s absurd remarks, all the experts in the Huaxia delegation stood up, their faces flushed with anger, some even cursing aloud.

Everyone knows the shamelessness of Dongyang people, but faced with Sakai Ichiro’s ridiculous black-and-white reversal rhetoric, no Huaxia person could hold back.

Even Huo Sining, normally collected, could not remain seated anymore.

She suddenly stood up from her seat, carrying the safe at her feet and heading toward the stage.

Everyone in the venue was left looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what this Huaxia woman intended to do.

”Miss Huo, what do you intend to do?”

Sakai Ichiro, also uncertain of Huo Sining’s sudden move to the exhibit stage, couldn’t help but ask.

Huo Sining’s lips curled into a cold smile:

”Mr. Sakai wants me to give you an explanation? Alright then, the answer is in the safe in my hand. I’ve come up to give you an explanation.”

Huo Sining didn’t initially want to be so sharp and ostentatious, but since Sakai Ichiro brought this upon himself, she would let him die thoroughly!

”Miss Host, the Dongyang delegation needs me to provide an explanation. I think presenting our Huaxia delegation’s treasure doesn’t violate the event rules, does it?”

Huo Sining didn’t immediately open her safe; instead, she turned her head to inquire with the host.

The organizer’s representative was grinning foolishly, having secured exclusive broadcast rights for this treasure appraisal event, for which they paid a hefty price. To recoup costs, they had to create buzz to attract viewers and thus raise ratings.

Now that Huo Sining and Sakai Ichiro were confronting each other, the TV station didn’t need to stir the pot further. Such conflict and debate were perfect for generating hype.

Data from the monitoring center displayed that CBS ratings had been steadily rising since the debate between the Huaxia and Dongyang sides began, and since Huo Sining took the stage, ratings skyrocketed.

Upon witnessing these ratings, the representative hoped even more fervently that the conflict between the Huaxia and Dongyang delegations would become more intense, ideally fighting until the event ended, ensuring high viewership for the broadcast.

The TV station and organizers wanted profits; thus, they wouldn’t really judge Huo Sining’s actions as rule-breaking. Even if Huo Sining’s stage appearance was against regulations, they would find a reason to keep her there.

”Approve her request! Let’s see what this Huaxia woman intends to do!”

The CBS TV station’s executive jumped nearly in excitement upon seeing the skyrocketing ratings. Afraid of Huo Sining’s worry about violating event rules, the executive urgently instructed the host.

Previous treasure appraisal events had received lukewarm reactions, and the executive feared this one would be no different, but he never expected such a twist in events.

Things were getting more interesting!

The executive’s eyes gleamed cunningly like a fox.

The greater the chaos, the higher the ratings for his program!

He even had a hunch that this treasure appraisal event might seize the number one rating across America!
