Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1673: Chapter 1657: Announcement

Watching the speck of dust from a fingernail fall onto Ke Zhenyue’s neck, the smile on Huo Sining’s face grew even brighter.

But opposite her, Ke Zhenyue still wore a face of confusion and misunderstanding; he couldn’t fathom why Huo Sining suddenly chose to say such words to him. Especially when she said he hadn’t lost anything, Ke Zhenyue was even more perplexed.

Because he had personally seen that Primitive Celadon smashed at the recording site; he didn’t know its exact value, but it was estimated to be worth at least tens of millions. How could that be considered not a loss?

Of course, Huo Sining wasn’t going to explain too much to Ke Zhenyue, so he was taken away by the police with a head full of questions.

He Guolin consistently didn’t plead for Ke Zhenyue or utter a word of sympathy for him, because he knew if this matter wasn’t resolved quickly, it wouldn’t quell Huo Sining’s and the audience’s anger.

Yet He Guolin was truly surprised that Ke Zhenyue had such audacity to tamper during the program recording.

Let alone Ke Zhenyue being just an ordinary director—even in his position, attempting such underhanded actions amidst so many people would require meticulous planning and ensuring absolute certainty before acting.

But Ke Zhenyue just rashly proceeded without thinking, leaving various pieces of evidence, and even dared to act personally.

All for a personal vendetta, risking so much.

Moreover, this person didn’t even investigate whether he could deal with Huo Sining before taking such vicious actions—truly clueless.

After being exposed, he still acted as if indifferent to the consequences, unaware that offending Huo Sining was equivalent to offending all those above him. This woman belonged to the Gu Family and was Chief Lu’s god-granddaughter; she was not comparable to the small stars and hosts that he could easily manipulate in the television station.

He Guolin outwardly showed an expression of deep regret, but internally had already sentenced this person to death.

No matter how capable such a person is, intelligence is lacking. They are too foolish; even if utilized heavily in the future, they have little development potential.

Huo Sining could naturally guess He Guolin’s thoughts, but the matter was indeed Ke Zhenyue’s subjective action, unrelated to others much. She was a sensible person and naturally wouldn’t cause trouble for others.

Huo Sining said to He Guolin, ”Director He, since this has already happened today, I don’t want to escalate it further. I hope you can handle the remaining matters.”

He Guolin nodded, ”That’s expected. Rest assured, Miss Huo, our CCTV won’t cover for anyone; whoever errs must take responsibility. But about the Longliang Primitive Celadon...”

Huo Sining replied, ”You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve already had my company’s people collect all the shattered pieces of the celadon. I know an expert who can repair ceramics. As long as the pieces are collected, the artifact can be completely restored. It’ll just take some more time; it’s not a major issue.”

Upon hearing this, He Guolin immediately let out a great sigh of relief, and his perpetually tense demeanor finally relaxed:

”Restoring it would be wonderful. I’ve heard that the celadon is rare. Not many exist, and even the Forbidden City doesn’t have a complete one. If irreparable damage resulted from our mistake, we’d truly be culprits!”

Huo Sining smiled, ”Rest assured. I have a pair of Primitive Celadons; though one is shattered, the other remains intact. I’ll have it fetched soon to avoid any delay in our work. We’ll resume recording this afternoon, so as not to hinder our program’s schedule due to my personal affair.”

He Guolin was suddenly shocked upon hearing this and hesitated, ”Are you sure you’re really okay? Maybe we should take the afternoon off to recover?”

Huo Sining shook her head, ”No need. I wasn’t hit by the chandelier, and I’m uninjured, so there’s no need to rest. The Olympic opening is nearing; if delayed further, our program’s airing is uncertain. It’s prudent to complete recording swiftly.”

After a moment of hesitation, He Guolin couldn’t oppose Huo Sining’s insistence, so he agreed, ”Alright then, I’ll arrange it.”

Huo Sining’s persistence earned great admiration from the program staff, and her calm demeanor allowed everyone to avoid trouble seamlessly. The entire crew felt deeply grateful. During their routine workdays afterward, they became more cordial with Huo Sining, with many willingly befriending her and working with increased dedication.

Thus, when recording resumed that afternoon, Huo Sining’s work proceeded swiftly. The program crew transformed into a cohesive family, where everyone united as one, without any slackness or complaints due to various reasons.

Simultaneously, CCTV broke its silence, discarding its past ambiguous promotional attitude, directly responding to netizen inquiries with a clear statement on its official Weibo:

To all netizens, CCTV has thoroughly investigated the major incident you inquired about via private messages on Weibo.

This incident was a malicious act by former director Ke Zhenyue, who tampered with the wire stunt equipment on the ceiling lamp to settle a personal vendetta, causing it to fall. Miss Huo is unharmed; the shattered artifact has been urgently sent to relevant institutions for repair.

We have publicly informed the media about this handling. The program team already notified the police, and suspect Ke Zhenyue has been taken away. CCTV reserves the right to legal action against him and has terminated his contract!

For Ke Zhenyue’s heinous act of committing an illegal act due to personal grudges, the program team and the entire CCTV strongly condemn it. We will also pursue criminal responsibility without condoning!

This announcement caused a storm on Weibo:

”Wow, so this really happened! I thought it was a rumor!”

”Thankfully, thankfully! I’m a die-hard fan of Miss Magic. If anything had happened to her, I’d go crazy.”

”CCTV really demonstrated courage this time; just like this, it must sue that Ke guy into bankruptcy. It’s utterly vicious!”

”Didn’t expect such a sordid incident even in CCTV; indeed, the larger the forest, the more varied the birds!”

”That Ke guy, what an idiot, daring to tamper in such an occasion, leaving evidence behind, practically asking for death!”
