Chapter 116: Shu Yue plagiarized Qin Niaoniao's design manuscript
The assessment time soon arrived. Shu Yue submitted her manuscript on time and then all she had to do was wait for the final result.
The results came out very quickly. She received a reply the next day after submitting the manuscript. However, it was not a reply whether it passed or not. Instead, she was asked to return to the studio and the assessment results needed to be announced on the spot.
"Mom, I need to go to the studio. The assessment results are out, but I need to be there."
Shu Yue was about to get out of bed, and Zhou Lan hurried over to support her.
Shu Yue smiled helplessly, "I'm much better now. The doctors said that my recovery speed is a medical miracle, so I don't need your support anymore."
"Then I'm worried about you. Can't the assessment results be announced online? Why do you have to go there?"
“Maybe because it’s more important.”
As Shu Yue spoke, she took out her going-out clothes and changed into them in the bathroom.
Zhou Lan picked up her bag and followed Shu Yue.
"I'll go with you."
When Shu Yue and Zhou Lan arrived at the studio, everyone was already there.
There were a lot of people crowded in the small conference room. Zhou Lan was waiting outside while Shu Yue went in by herself.
"Manager Niu."
Seeing Shu Yue coming, Manager Niu nodded and motioned for her to sit next to him.
Shu Yue quickly said, "I'm an intern, it's not appropriate for me to sit next to you."
"During the last team building, you were the only one in our studio who was seriously injured. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet, so just sit down."
Shu Yue sat down only after hearing this.
"The reason why I called everyone here today is to hold a small meeting on the issue of whether these four interns should stay or go."
Manager Niu stood up and turned on the screen projection.
“I haven’t opened the assessment drafts of the four interns this time. I plan to show them on the spot so that everyone can evaluate them and then select the best design draft.”
As Manager Niu spoke, he opened the assessment manuscripts. The first two were design drafts from Qin Niaoniao's two followers. One made a jasmine ring and the other made a jasmine necklace. Both were very conventional styles, nothing new.
The third one was Qin Niaoniao’s design draft. The moment Manager Niu opened it, Shu Yue recognized it as her draft.
It was moved there exactly as it was, except for the coloring.
Shu Yue's face darkened and she looked at Qin Niaoniao beside her.
Qin Niaoniao crossed her arms and looked at her complacently, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"This jasmine brooch by Niaoniao is very ingenious, with a good three-dimensional feel and pure and flawless white. It is more sophisticated than the previous two works."
The teachers began to comment from below, and Shu Yue heard it all.
Whoever's work is released first will have a preconceived idea. When Shu Yue's work comes out, they will definitely think that Shu Yue plagiarized.
It was hard for Shu Yue not to suspect that this order was deliberately arranged by Qin Niaoniao.
After everyone commented on Qin Niaoniao's work, Manager Niu opened Shu Yue's work.
"Hey, is this exactly the same as the design that Niao Niao drew?"
"Yes, but the color is different. This one is a purple and white gradient jasmine, but it's a little different. Qin Yue's one has more layers."
"Qin Yue, why is your design exactly the same as mine?"
Qin Niaoniao took the initiative and suddenly stood up to question Shu Yue.
Everyone looked at Shu Yue. Could it be that she stole Qin Niaoniao's work?
Manager Niu was obviously on the same front as Qin Niaoniao, and continued with Qin Niaoniao's words and asked Shu Yue.
"Tell me the truth, did you plagiarize Niao Niao's design?"
Shu Yue looked at them singing the same tune. When everyone pointed at her, she felt like she was backstabbed by her good friends.
At that time, the planning proposal she worked on all night was taken away by her so-called good friend, who was the first to get the boss's approval. She proved many times that she wrote the proposal word by word, but no one believed it, and she was finally fired.
And that "good friend" successfully stayed in the company and got promoted.
Shu Yue laughed at herself. The same thing would happen again for the second time.
"What was the result?"
At the critical moment, Fu Jingshen opened the door and came in, followed by Xue En.
When Manager Niu saw Fu Jingshen, he quickly said, "Boss He, we have a big problem now. This Qin Yue plagiarized Niao Niao's work. This is a bad situation. We shouldn't keep her in the studio. We should fire her directly."
Fu Jingshen glanced at the design drawing on the screen, then looked at Shu Yue who was sitting below.
She didn't seem in the least bit anxious to defend herself.
"Oh? Then tell me in detail how you plagiarize. Tell me both of your thoughts and understandings of this design."
Fu Jingshen and Xue En came in, and someone made room for them to sit.
Qin Niaoniao took the lead in explaining her creative ideas.
"White jasmine is pure and innocent. If it is only made into a ring or a necklace, it would be too monotonous and look like a little girl next door. But if it is made into a brooch, it looks more noble and reserved. The three-dimensionality is to make this jasmine more real and more charming."
Fu Jingshen nodded, then looked at Shu Yue.
"What is your understanding?"
"She is a plagiarist, how can she understand?"
"That's right, plagiarism is the most shameless thing."
Qin Niaoniao's little follower started to steal the spotlight again.
Shu Yue was very calm. "I don't understand much. I made it into a brooch just because it can better reflect the effect of jasmine blooming on the branches. The brooch has the charm of a mature woman, and the rare purple-white jasmine corresponds to maturity and charm."
"Do you think you can take away something that belongs to me by changing the color? I have the entire creation process of the manuscript."
Qin Niaoniao took out her mobile phone and showed everyone the video of the creative process. The drawing software has the function of automatically saving the creative process, and the video above is also of Shu Yue.
“She has a creative process, and it’s definitely her original work.”
As long as someone produces evidence first, everyone will have a preconceived notion that that is the original work. No matter how much Shu Yue says, she cannot change their minds unless they produce solid evidence.
"I was right next to my daughter when she was drawing. I watched her draw the designs myself, so she was the original author."
No one knew when Zhou Lan came in, nor how much she heard, but the first thing she did was to protect Shu Yue.
"Yueyue is the original creator of this Jasmine brooch. She plagiarized... no, she stole Yueyue's manuscript."
Shu Yue didn't expect Zhou Lan to stand up to help her, and even confront Qin Niaoniao, with whom she had been mother and daughter for twenty years.
"You are her biological mother, of course you speak for her. Your words are useless." Qin Niaoniao did not expect that Shu Yue would get Zhou Lan's recognition in just a few months.
Zhou Lan was about to speak when she was interrupted.
"My senior sister is not qualified, then who else is qualified?"
