Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1668: Chapter 1652: Something Happened

”Primitive celadon is the predecessor of the mature celadon of the Han Dynasty. The main production areas of Han Dynasty celadon are around present-day Shangyu and Shaoxing. Currently, multiple Warring States kiln sites for firing primitive celadon have been discovered near Shaoxing, indicating a deep historical connection between the two...”

Huo Sining was explaining to the audience below the stage about the close relationship between the Longliang Primitive Porcelain Pot on the stage and Huaxia celadon. Just as she was getting to the exciting part, her right eyelid began to twitch incessantly for some unknown reason, and a slight feeling of unease crept over her.

Just when Huo Sining felt puzzled, she suddenly noticed that the faces of Producer Li and Director Xiao Ma from below the stage had changed dramatically. Xu Wei was shouting something at her, and the two security personnel standing on the other side were shouting and rushing directly towards her.

”Watch out!”

”Move quickly!”

During military training, Chen Dekun had already trained Huo Sining in responsiveness and agility. Over the past two years, her speed had improved even more thanks to the effects of the Water-Repelling Pearl. Almost instantaneously, when sensing danger, she judged the situation and swiftly leapt to the side, as fast as an athlete sprinting a hundred meters.

At the very moment she jumped away from her position, there was a loud crash in her ear, and she felt something fall to the ground. Some sharp fragments flew directly toward where she had been standing.

The two security personnel moved swiftly as well, reaching Huo Sining’s position in the blink of an eye and using their arms to shield her from the flying debris, preventing the risk of being cut by the sharp fragments.

The audience and staff below the stage were stunned by the sudden accident. Some spectators covered their eyes in fear, some female audience members screamed loudly, and others stood from their seats involuntarily.

Director Xiao Ma and Producer Li, upon regaining their senses, rushed onto the stage, asking urgently, ”Are you okay?”

While asking, they nervously examined Huo Sining from all angles. Only after repeatedly confirming that she was unharmed did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Huo Sining shook her head reassuringly, ”I’m fine.”

”Thank goodness no one was hit—”

Producer Li patted her chest, looking relieved. However, just as she said this, her gaze fell onto the exhibition platform, and seeing the shattered pieces, her complexion turned pale as if drained of blood.

Director Xiao Ma also sensed something was wrong and followed Producer Li’s gaze. Upon seeing the fragments, he began trembling uncontrollably, like a sieve.

The fallen item was the retractable lamp frame from the ceiling of the studio. The frame was suspended from the ceiling by a stainless steel beam. During lighting adjustments, the lighting technician would raise, lower, and rotate the lamps according to the surroundings and environment.

Such equipment is meticulously checked and confirmed before recording a program. If any problem is found, repairs are made in advance. However, during the recording, the ceiling light frame suddenly plummeted from above, crashing onto the spot where Huo Sining was standing while hosting.

Thanks to her quick and agile response, Huo Sining darted away from her position and escaped being hit by the lamp frame, experiencing a narrow escape. However, the Longliang Primitive Porcelain Pot placed to her right on the exhibition platform was not as lucky and was directly smashed by the lamp frame.

Being made from clay, the Longliang Primitive Porcelain Pot couldn’t withstand the heavy force of the lamp frame. In the instant the beam fell, the pot shattered into pieces scattered across the stage.

Witnessing this, not only did Director Xiao Ma and Producer Li show panic on stage, but the staff below also looked flustered and anxious. The crew member specially instructed by Huo Sining turned colorless and began shivering uncontrollably.

This was an artifact from the Warring States Period, its value immeasurable, practically unobtainable in the market—a priceless item. Even if he sacrificed his life, it wouldn’t equate to its worth.

The crew member felt a buzz in his mind and became oblivious to the surrounding voices. His eyes reddened, filled with despair.

This was a prop belonging to the show. Now that the artifact was smashed, Huo Sining would demand accountability, and he would be blamed. But how could he possibly shoulder such a responsibility?

In less than half a minute after the incident, countless thoughts raced through the crew member’s mind, leaving him with one last thought: ”It’s over; this time I’m definitely finished!”

When the audience realized the Longliang Primitive Porcelain Pot was shattered, there was an uproar. Everyone stood up involuntarily, craning their necks to get a clear view of the stage situation.

Although Huo Sining felt a bit distressed, her expression remained relatively calm because she knew best that even if the pot was shattered, it could be easily repaired by Qibao, the bear child. As long as everyone was safe, everything would be fine.

Therefore, in this situation, the key issue was to control the scene and prevent panic and chaos.

Seeing the audience starting to become restless, Huo Sining quickly called out to Producer Li and Director Xiao Ma, who were still in a daze:

”Sister Li, Director Ma, now is not the time to assign blame. Quickly secure the site and have the audience exit the recording studio in an orderly manner and clear the studio.”

The two had long regarded Huo Sining as the top authority in the studio. As soon as she issued the order, they exchanged glances and immediately nodded, ”Okay, we’ll handle it right away. Is there anything else you need us to do?”

Huo Sining shook her head, ”Not for now. Focus on clearing the area, and we’ll address other matters later.”

The two followed her instructions and quickly organized the audience to exit in an orderly fashion.

Though the audience wanted to know what had happened, they understood it wasn’t the time for curiosity. With Producer Li and Director Xiao Ma’s persuasion, they cooperated and exited the recording studio.

However, after leaving the studio, they began discussing in the hall, while others from outside recording studios, seeing the crowd, also felt curious.

”What’s going on? Why is everyone out here? Did something happen?”
