Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1358: Chapter 1343: Duty and Honor

Elder Zhu held a morning newspaper in his hand, and seeing the news on it, his brows furrowed tightly:

”Huo girl, the people from the Watanabe Group are spreading rumors everywhere, saying that the treasures we’ve brought this time can’t compare to their Golden Threaded Jade Clothing. Even the New York Daily has reported this news, and the Dongyang side hasn’t responded, it seems they’ve tacitly agreed to this matter.”

Several sets of Golden Threaded Jade Clothing have come from our country, but the one stolen by the Watanabe Consortium is indeed the finest piece domestically.

But so what?

Huo Sining sneered inwardly. Since she had come here, would she fight unprepared? The Watanabe Consortium had underestimated her too much!

With Elder Zhu’s words, everyone turned to the newspaper, and seeing the text of that news, their faces turned pale with rage.

On this bus sat none other than domestic experts in the collection field, each of whom had a special sentiment for antiques.

But due to loopholes and neglect in the domestic system, those Dongyang people exploited the gaps to steal the Golden Threaded Jade Clothing, and then made such a big fuss turning black to white. Such a major issue could not possibly leave these senior experts and scholars indifferent.

It was no secret that the Watanabe Consortium had a set of Golden Threaded Jade Clothing. Even before coming to New York, Dongyang people had boasted about bringing it to the treasure appraisal conference for exchange with international masters.

For such shameless acts by the Dongyang delegation, as children of Huaxia, everyone felt both disdainful and helpless.

These experts and scholars are patriots, but so what? With such an incident, there is nothing they can do.

In fact, Zhou Shitao, Huang Zhenlong and others had concerns about this as well. If the Watanabe Consortium were to showcase the Golden Threaded Jade Clothing at this treasure appraisal conference, it would indeed be a slap in the face for the Huaxia delegation, making their participation seem like self-inflicted humiliation.

But that was before. Just yesterday, after Huo Sining made an overseas call, Zhou Shitao, Huang Zhenlong, and others who had been anxiously waiting for news at home no longer had such thoughts.

If it’s about giving a slap, let’s see whose slap is louder!

”If they want to alter history, let’s see if they have that capability.”

As soon as Huo Sining uttered these words, everyone’s gaze shifted to her.

Huo Sining smiled faintly and looked at the leader of the expert delegation, Elder Zhu, solemnly saying:

”Elder Zhu, there’s no need to worry. Everyone can rest assured that since I said I have a way, I won’t let you down. I have full confidence that this time I will leave the Dongyang side speechless.”

Huo Sining’s confidence brought joy to the eyes of those present.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the safe Gu Xu was carrying.

Many were curious about what mysterious treasure Huo Sining had brought to New York this time, and secretly many were speculating about what kind of precious items she had brought.

However, seeing Huo Sining not mention a word about the treasure, everyone refrained from asking further.

Although Huo Sining assured with such confidence, Elder Zhu was still somewhat worried. However, he then considered that with Zhou Shitao and Chief Lu as firm as Mount Tai backing her, he felt reassured.

Since those two were not worried, it indicated they must have found a reliable countermeasure, so his expression relaxed a bit, and he slowly nodded, saying to Huo Sining:

”As long as you are confident, that’s good. This is something that can’t go wrong, or else it won’t just be our team’s face that’s lost, but the face of the entire China.”

Su Qingqing, being of an impatient nature, couldn’t keep matters to herself. Seeing Huo Sining’s mysterious smile made her uneasy, so she kept pestering Huo Sining along the way:

”Ningning, we’re about to enter the venue, can’t you reveal your plan yet? Why not secretly tell me alone, I promise not to tell anyone. Please Ningning, tell me what’s inside your box!”

Huo Sining lightly shook her head. Most of the items in that box were airlifted over with Chief Lu’s help.

In fact, she could have used the storage ring to carry the items directly onto the plane.

But Huo Sining knew very well that soon enough, the treasures in her box would be unveiled at the treasure appraisal conference, and if New York authorities couldn’t find any entry information for these items, she’d likely be in trouble.

Therefore, to avoid such a situation, Huo Sining had to borrow Chief Lu’s influence.

There wasn’t an issue with Chief Lu using some political power to transport a batch of items, especially since these items were to attend a treasure appraisal competition, making it perfectly legitimate, and America couldn’t refuse.

The items were transported to Huo Sining in absolute secrecy, and not even Zhou Shitao or Huang Zhenlong knew what was in the box, nor did Huo Sining tell anyone.

Because if these items were revealed now, once accidentally spread, they wouldn’t have the same impactful effect at the crucial moment.

Su Qingqing felt played by Huo Sining, scratching her head and feeling disgruntled as she sat down, but she couldn’t help but look at Huo Sining with a lamenting expression, like a wronged daughter-in-law.

Seeing Su Qingqing’s sulky demeanor, not just Bai Yishan and Ouyang Jun, but even Elder Zhu couldn’t help but laugh heartily, while Huo Sining remained cold-hearted and unmoved.

Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the New York International Exhibition Center, where the parking lot was already filled with many buses, and delegations from various countries were alighting one after another.

In front of the exhibition center plaza, dozens of national flags were flying, with Huaxia Country’s five-starred red flag among them.

Once Elder Zhu stepped off the bus, he silently walked over to the five-starred red flag and stood still, gazing up at that patch of red.

Huo Sining followed, as did the other experts and members of the Huaxia delegation, all spontaneously trailing behind.

The same expressions, the same actions, everyone stood under the red flag, gazing up at the waving national flag, not moving an inch.

At this moment, everyone truly realized that their team represented, was this flag, was the entire Huaxia Country. No matter where they were in the world, they always needed to stand tall and proud like this flag.

Huo Sining gazed up at that red flag, her fists clenching instinctively.

At this moment, a sense of honor and responsibility surged from the depths of her heart.

For every son and daughter of Huaxia, the motherland is always the greatest, loving the country has nothing to do with the government or the system, everyone is proud to own such a motherland.
