Not only at the scene, but the live broadcast room was also in an uproar.
Many people were shocked!
It's trending on social media.
In fact, the sheer number of comments caused a major traffic jam on the internet.
Public opinion has also begun to reverse.
Those who previously mocked Qiao Chu are now criticizing Kevin and demanding that he come out and explain himself.
Some people said they were very disappointed and stopped being fans, no longer buying clothes designed by Kevin.
Some people have also called for a boycott of Kevin and the Rong Group, stating that they will not tolerate rampant plagiarism.
Some people are also calling on Kevin to apologize to Qiao Nuan and Joe.
...
After the audio finished playing, Qiao Chu presented a survey checklist.
"This is Ms. Wang Xiao's bank account statement, which does show that her account earnings have increased significantly in the last two months. Currently, her personal savings amount to 500,000 yuan. Based on her salary provided by her company, and considering that she may be taking on freelance design work on the side, it would take her at least three years to reach this level of savings."
Qiao Chu pressed a button on the remote, and another video appeared on the screen.
"Hello everyone, my name is Stephen. I used to be Kevin's assistant. He not only plagiarized my work, but also directly published my work as his own. I argued with him, but I was still coerced by him and forced to leave the Joe Group."
"Hello everyone, I'm Katie. I used to be a designer on Kevin's team, and my work was published directly under Kevin's name. He told me that I was a newcomer with no reputation, and even if I published my work, no one would see my designs or even buy them. In the end, I couldn't stand his plagiarism and left the Joe's Group."
"..." As the video continued, many designers came forward to accuse Kevin of plagiarism and suppressing them.
Not only did former designers from the Joe Group come forward to accuse him of plagiarism, a penchant for self-aggrandizement, and a desire to dominate the company.
Qiao Chu switched the screen and played another audio clip.
"..."
"These are conversations secretly recorded by designers who worked with Kevin under his oppression. Listen carefully. The audio is unedited; it's Kevin himself. Kevin's achievements are the culmination of the hard work of many fledgling designers. He's practically a robber, a bandit!"
"..."
"Some of the designers who were coerced back then have become famous and are now bravely coming forward to testify against him. I hope everyone will see clearly and give these victims justice. Here, I also urge Kevin to come forward and give everyone an explanation."
"..."
"Plagiarism is a disgrace to the industry! This shameless behavior should be resisted. An outstanding designer should possess both talent and integrity, which is what makes them worthy of respect."
"..."
"Here, I'd like to digress a bit, which is also about JOE's reputation, and I'll clarify that today as well."
As she spoke, Qiao Chu looked at Xiao Liu and nodded slightly to him.
Then, Xiao Liu invited a woman out.
...
No media outlets recognized this woman.
This woman's appearance is too ordinary; she doesn't leave any impression at all.
Curious about what tricks Qiao Chu would pull, the media listened attentively and continued to gather firsthand information.
Before giving her speech, the woman bowed to all the media.
Then she sat down.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Chunmei! You may not know me, but you will definitely know my social media account - Spring Silkworm Girl."
"..."
"I am the victim who wrote many articles slandering Justin for seducing and abandoning her, and for deceiving her. In fact, I do not know Justin, nor do I know what he looks like. All the articles I wrote, all the media reports, were fabricated."
"..."
“I had someone behind me, and I also received money. Here, I sincerely apologize to Justine and also to Joe.”
"..."
“When I received the court summons, I panicked and was terrified. But the person who instigated it—the heiress of the Rong Group—told me not to panic, that she would arrange the best lawyers to handle the case for me, and that even if I lost, I would only have to pay compensation, and she would cover the costs.”
"..."
“I did take her money, but I have no peace of mind. Every night, I wake up from nightmares. I really can't get over it in my heart, and today, I must clarify things for everyone. Justine has nothing to do with me, all the accusations are fabricated, and a lot of public resources have been wasted. I sincerely apologize to everyone.”
After Li Chunmei finished speaking, Qiao Chu added, "For deliberately slandering and damaging Justin's reputation, I hereby announce that we reserve the right to pursue legal action. Rong Yan, please wait to receive the court summons."
"..."
"Returning to Kevin's plagiarism case, JOE will conduct a thorough investigation. All works involving his plagiarism will be removed from all JOE stores. By January next year, all of JOE stores will have removed all of Kevin's works, and will never cooperate with him again, fully resisting this shameless act of plagiarism."
"..."
"In addition, the contract dispute between the former Joe Group and Kevin is scheduled to go to court next month, and we will add another legal liability. We believe that justice will never be absent."
...
The press conference ended, and Qiao Chu, Qiao Nuan, and Li Chunmei all left.
When the media tried to interview Qiao Chu, they were stopped by security guards at the scene.
Qiao Chu had promised to let Li Chunmei leave unscathed, so she asked Xiao Liu to escort her away.
She will also handle matters concerning her and Rong Yan.
******
The truth was so unexpected that everyone was shocked!
Some of the netizens who previously insulted Justine have apologized.
Some continued to feign blindness; these people were also hired online trolls by Rong Yan.
Some people have also turned against Rong Yan.
...
After watching the live broadcast, Li Wanyue was so moved that she shed tears.
Qiao Yu handed her tissues to wipe her tears and comforted her.
"Yu, I'm fine, I'm actually quite happy! Qiao Chu is really great, very courageous, smart, and very assertive!"
Qiao Yijue smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.
"Wanyue, buy more groceries and cook more delicious food so that the two children can come back for dinner tonight. Qiao Chu never disappoints us and she always knows how to behave. She has always been grateful to the Qiao family, and this child is also genuinely good to the Qiao family."
"Dad, I know. I'll go prepare and call them in a bit."
"A family living well together is better than anything else, and it will bring happiness! Money is just an external thing; you can't take it with you when you die. Being too calculating will only make you unhappy."
"Yes! I understand, we are family!"
...
Wang Xiao never expected that things would be exposed so quickly, and that he would be so disgraced!
She was fired, which is tantamount to being blacklisted by the entire industry.
She didn't even dare to ask for her wages. She hurriedly left the company and ran back to her rented apartment to pack her things.
She had just dragged her suitcase out the door when Jiang Zhi caught her.
