Chapter 73: Competition Day
"So you came to me? Am I too easy to talk to?" Gu Chen explained aggrievedly: "Next time I will let Fu Chi bite him."
Bang!
Fu Chi hit him from behind, and Gu Chen covered the back of his head and hit back in dissatisfaction.
"What a commotion!" Shen Qingning stuffed a cat ear into Si Moting's mouth. "Bai Yue came to me a few days ago, wanting to plead for his family. I ignored him. Apparently, he's here to keep Mu Yu company today. Do you think he knows Mu Yu's plan?"
Si Moting raised his hand to wipe the residue from the corner of Shen Qingning's mouth and said casually, "I don't know."
"How do you say that?"
"The Bai family has been targeted so severely by me. As long as he is not stupid, he will not openly oppose you. Unless he really doesn't want to live."
After this explanation, Shen Qingning understood: "So he was just trying to provoke me, thinking I would be jealous?"
What is this big brother thinking?
Is it possible that the water in your head has not been completely poured out yet?
Gu Chen, who was making a fuss in the back, added, "Maybe he didn't want you to see how miserable he was."
"Even if the Bai family goes bankrupt, they'll still have other assets. Ultimately, the whole company is responsible for the cannibalism incident. Even if Li Zhi goes to jail, the assets left behind will be enough for Bai Yue to live on. Why would he need to show me how well he's doing?"
Shen Qingning doesn't think that the bankruptcy of the Bai family will force Bai Yue to beg for food.
Not yet.
He only found out after he transformed himself into the young master of the Shen family.
The wealthy and powerful families will foresee the risks in advance. They will open accounts abroad in other people's names and deposit large sums of money into them.
So even if the Bai family was raided, they would not be left on the streets.
Si Moting pinched his fingers and played with them: "It's just a man's pride."
Shen Qingning shrugged and did not deny it.
Anyway, no matter what it is, once the show is over, Bai Yue probably won't have the energy to confront him anymore.
The event started soon.
Before the event, Shen Qingning specifically requested the teacher not to display his final entry, but instead project the preliminary drawing onto the background wall of the big screen.
It displays the paintings of all the contestants who advanced.
"The winner of this competition is Shen Qingning from the Fine Arts Department of Jingang University. Let us welcome Shen to the stage to receive the award."
Shen Qingning stood up from her seat and walked towards the stage.
Gu Chen whistled and cheered below, and the whole room was filled with applause.
Shen Qingning took the microphone from the host, and the judges came on stage to present the awards.
Shen Qingning was very happy about her first trophy, even though it was just a small competition on campus.
"Please ask Mr. Shen to give his acceptance speech."
Shen Qingning took a step forward and looked at Si Moting below with a smile on her face. "Thank you all for your recognition of me. Thank you to my teachers and my school."
"Wait a moment!"
A boy stood up from his seat and interrupted him loudly.
Shen Qingning looked at the man's face and sneered in her heart.
Host: "Student, please pay attention to the viewing discipline!"
The man walked over from behind, paying no attention to the host, and shouted, "I want to report Shen Qingning for plagiarism!"
"What?"
The audience immediately exploded and everyone was whispering.
Mu Yu sat below, with a smug and arrogant look in his eyes.
Gu Chen jumped up from his seat and pointed at him: "Bullshit! Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"I have evidence," Jiang Xuan said as he walked onto the stage and pulled up his phone screen. "I've seen this painting of Shen Qingning on a foreign website. It was created by an international friend when he came to Fengshan."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
Shen Qingning looked at the teacher sitting in the audience, and he shook his head slightly to signal the other party not to be in a hurry.
An older man on the judging panel looked at Jiang Xuan meaningfully: "Which school are you from?"
"I'm from the computer department next door."
"Since you're from the Computer Science Department, how did you happen to find the photo and expose it here?"
He didn't expect that this group of people would not question Shen Qingning first, but would question him instead.
Jiang Xuan panicked for a moment, and pretended to be calm as she said, "My boyfriend is an artist, so it's normal for him to be interested in this field. Besides, plagiarism is plagiarism, and you can't let people say anything about it? You're not going to cover up for him, are you?"
This hat is a bit too much, even the judges don't take it seriously.
"Where's the security? Drag him out!"
Seeing that the situation was not going as expected, Mu Yu could no longer sit still.
He stood up and shouted, "I don't accept it. Since someone reported it, why didn't you cancel Shen Qingning's qualification?"
The professor sitting in the first row of "Mu Yu" scolded sternly: "The teachers will make their own judgments. It's not your turn to shout."
Mu Yu was a little scared when he was criticized by his substitute professor.
Bai Yue, who was sitting nearby, stared coldly at Shen Qingning, who was standing on the stage. "Jingang University does not tolerate plagiarism. Does the teacher want to silence everyone?"
Shen Qingning stood on the stage, looking at Bai Yue from a distance.
He clearly saw the hatred in Bai Yue's eyes.
He scoffed softly, "You say I plagiarized? I handed the draft to the teacher a week ago. There are so many people coming and going in the office. What if someone deliberately framed me?"
Shen Qingning was so calm and composed, not panicking at all.
He even spoke out what he had done openly.
Mu Yu was a little unsure what he meant. Could it be that he knew it in advance?
It's impossible. This matter was done in secret and no one else could know about it.
There was no way Jiang Xuan would betray him.
Mu Yu straightened his back. "You said someone framed you. Then we can compare the two paintings."
"You said to compare? Why?" Shen Qingning looked at him with disdain: "Do you really want to throw dirty water on me? Mu Yu, could it be that you did this?"
Mu Yu's expression faltered for a second after being exposed, and then he stiffened his neck and retorted, "I just can't stand plagiarism! It's not against you."
Shen Qingning was too lazy to argue with him any further.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and said to the packed room, "That's great! I have something for you to see. You'll know if it's plagiarism after you read it."
Shen Qingning looked at the senior who was in charge of computers behind the corner of the stage and walked over with big strides.
He still had the microphone in his hand: "Senior, please put this video on the big screen."
"OK"
Two minutes later.
The video was clicked to play on the big screen.
Mu Yu's voice came from the screen.
"Post this online, and then after the competition, use this image to accuse Shen Qingning of plagiarism!"
"It's just one picture, and the date is still far behind. How can anyone believe it?"
"Humph, who would listen to him if we said he plagiarized? Besides, the two pictures are exactly the same. The competition hasn't even started yet. If we insist he plagiarized, what can he do?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let me kiss you."
Everyone stared in amazement at the two people on the big screen, their passionate love affair. The senior student playing the video quickly turned it off when he saw it was about to reach the unspeakable part.
But enough is enough.
