Reborn As Super Heiress

The four major portals enjoy such treatment, but the smaller websites and media are not so fortunate. Their decision-makers can only rely on keen intuition to judge the direction of this matter at such a time.

Those with rational minds who are not confused can naturally see that this is no ordinary event; it’s a confrontation at the top, so they choose to support Huo Sining;

Some are smart but not outspoken like those transparent media, they choose silence to protect themselves;

Only some opportunistic media trying to profit from it are still clamoring, attempting to link this incident with the government without realizing the wind has changed. They continue to raise flags and shout, trying to confuse the public.

At 2:30 p.m., everything was ready, and over a hundred news media arrived as scheduled at Sheng Tang Grand Hotel.

These reporters were carefully screened by the publicity department before being invited to ensure there were no issues.

Of course, in the journalism industry, there are always some unruly or unique individuals who speak sharply. So, even after the publicity department screening, one or two unusual reporters sneaked in.

However, after these few reporters arrived at Sheng Tang Hotel and saw the rows of neatly dressed soldiers standing in the parking lot and lobby, they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. They vaguely sensed that this press conference might not be as easy to maneuver as usual. Trying to stir up trouble at the venue won’t be easy.

After a strict security check, reporters and photographers successfully entered the venue. Once inside the conference hall, these reporters were seated below, facing them was a row of tidy seats.

Not long after, a few people walked out from the backstage. They included the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the four old men Zhou Shitao, Qin Lianshan. Following closely behind these old men were Huo Sining, Su Qingqing, Gu Xu, and Yue Shuwen.

Qibao and Zhong Xiaoyao were not convenient to show up, so Huo Sining left the two in the villa.

The press conference officially began without much tedious opening remarks. Huo Sining sat quietly on the stage, smiling at the crowd below, and directly said:

”I am Huo Sining, and I am the protagonist of this twelve zodiac animal heads incident. Friends from the press, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. In the next half hour, I, Huo Sining, will tell all and hold nothing back.”

Huo Sining’s frank and lenient attitude made the reporters present unable to help but smile.

Everyone knows that Huo Sining’s current identity is the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family. As the wife of an official family, this Miss Huo shows no airs, appearing approachable, with gentle and soft brows, frank yet courteous, and generous. She doesn’t seem like the hypocrite rumored on the internet.

However, in this world, many people know how to act. Maybe this person is just putting on a show. So, these reporters didn’t rush to draw conclusions. Remembering the purpose of their trip, the reporters calmed themselves and began to raise their hands to ask questions seriously and solemnly.

After sweeping her gaze over the crowd below, Huo Sining first pointed to someone: ”The reporter lady in the blue dress, you may ask first.”

The reporter who was called seemed somewhat incredulous. When she stood up, she subconsciously pointed at her own mouth with her finger, asking somewhat unconfidently, ”Is it me?”

After receiving a confirming nod from Huo Sining, the female reporter’s eyes lit up as if she had won the lottery. Although excited, she did not forget her purpose here. After clearing her throat twice, she picked up the microphone, and with sharp eyes, looked at Huo Sining and asked straightforwardly:

”Miss Huo Sining, I am a news reporter from ’Eastern Times’. This morning, an old gentleman who claimed to be Windsor Reed posted a video online. I wonder if you, Miss Huo, have seen it?”

Huo Sining nodded, smiling, and said: ”I have seen it. In fact, when Mr. Windsor released that video, he sought my opinion. After all, the video features a close-up of our diamond transaction contract in which I’m the party A. He must get my permission to expose the contract’s details, otherwise, he’d be in breach of contract.”

The female reporter became a bit excited: ”So what the old man said is true? You did trade a batch of diamonds with Mr. Windsor and received a transaction payment of 350 million US dollars?”

Huo Sining couldn’t help but glance at the reporter, playfully saying: ”Why do I feel like I’m not as excited as you are, miss reporter, even though I’m the one getting the money?”

This answer made the audience below unable to hold back their laughter, and the female reporter’s face turned slightly red.

Huo Sining continued: ”Mr. Windsor Reed is from the English royal family. With his status, he is absolutely above lying, especially for the Huaxia people.”

”That’s right. I did trade a batch of diamonds with Mr. Windsor Reed and received 350 million US dollars from him the next day. It was precisely this sum of money that solved my urgent need, allowing me to successfully acquire the two twelve zodiac animal heads I had bid for on the Philadelphia Black Market.”

”If you don’t believe me, I can produce another copy of the contract I have with Mr. Windsor. This contract has two versions, and you can find someone to authenticate the contract’s authenticity.”

”Of course, if you still don’t believe, I can also provide a detailed flow of funds from the Swiss Bank. These 350 million US dollars were transferred to me by Mr. Windsor’s private account from England, two days ago in the afternoon.”

Huo Sining’s answer was honest and well-founded. Reporters present were seasoned in dealing with all kinds of crafty and sinister individuals. Seeing the sincerity in Huo Sining’s eyes, they couldn’t help but nod, very satisfied with her response. They believed that Huo Sining probably wasn’t lying.

However, among the hundred reporters, there were still a few troublemakers looking to find faults. Upon hearing her explanation, one immediately stood up, sharply questioning:

”Miss Huo, even if this sum of money is yours, it’s not just your money; it’s also money belonging to the people of Huaxia. By purchasing these two beast heads at a price more than ten times the original, you let the Americans earn so much at once. In the eyes of those Americans, you are probably seen as a gullible nouveau riche.”

”Your actions and behavior abroad represent more than just yourself; they represent the entire Huaxia Country’s image abroad. By doing this, you’re humiliating Huaxia Country. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
