She took Ji Yu's hand and said, word by word, "All the beautiful scenery belongs to you alone."
"Awu...you're so kind!"
Ji Yu feigned being moved and rushed over to hug Shang Wu tightly.
Shang Wu gently patted her back: "Rest in peace."
"Huh? What?" Ji Yu nuzzled her shoulder.
Shang Wu hugged her closer, and as she closed her eyes, ten years of heartfelt devotion and the scenes of betrayal came flooding back.
She said, "I mean, don't worry."
...
The next evening.
The venue for the press conference was quickly set up.
Reporters and media from all over the city rushed to the scene.
To show that she took it seriously, Zhou Yanci and Shang Wu arrived together and sat in the audience to watch the press conference.
Before the press conference even started, reporters were already snapping photos of the two of them.
Shang Wu maintained her smile, her gaze sweeping across the entrance, where she saw a handsome and refined young man enter.
Their eyes met, she nodded slightly to the man, and then looked away to face the reporter.
At exactly eight o'clock, the press conference officially began.
Amidst thunderous applause, several new jewelry pieces, covered with red cloth, were brought out.
Ji Yu made her entrance in a stunning deep purple gown that Shang Wu had prepared for her.
"Good evening, media reporters and viewers. I am designer Ji Yu. Welcome to my collection launch, which is also the winter limited edition new product launch for the third anniversary of Chengzhou Jewelry Department."
Shang Wu listened from below the stage, and as everyone applauded again, a mocking smile crept across her face.
How could you memorize the script so fluently?
It seems that Ji Yu really did stay up all night memorizing the press conference script, just as she said, in order to steal the spotlight.
Ji Yu gestured for the camera to zoom in, stood by the table holding a microphone, and pinched a corner of the red cloth in her hand.
"Now I'll count down from three, please enjoy this limited edition new product. If there are any shortcomings, please feel free to offer your suggestions."
Everyone stared wide-eyed with anticipation.
"Three, two, one!"
With a whoosh, the red cloth was pulled down.
The three limited editions have been revealed.
The ruby pendant is framed with gold wire twisted into a rose shape, resembling a flame enveloped in moonlight.
The combination of South Sea pearls and diamonds creates a magnificent six-pointed star ring that refracts a cool and elegant light.
And the most eye-catching and anticipated item of the day is the first women's jewelry watch launched by the jewelry department, featuring a blue zirconia dial, high-tech inlaid pink diamond hands, and a clear blue-pink color scheme, resembling cherry blossoms falling on the azure sea.
"This, this is simply a work of art that should be placed in a jewelry museum!"
"Designer Ji, you're a genius!"
The entire audience erupted in cheers of amazement.
There were very few words spoken throughout the audience; the remaining people were speechless in the face of the beauty of the artwork.
Even Zhou Yanci, who was sitting in the audience, was stunned.
The young man who had exchanged glances with Shang Wu stared intently, his eyes filled with admiration.
His discarded draft, after Shang Wu's guidance in revising some details and color schemes, became surprisingly exquisite and lifelike...
The audience waiting in the live stream went wild! The number of viewers skyrocketed from hundreds of thousands to millions.
As the spotlight shone down, the jewelry shone brightly, and all the reporters pointed their cameras at the jewelry and at Ji Yu.
The spotlight and praise poured in, overwhelming everyone.
Ji Yu reveled in her moment of glory, her brows beaming with pride: "These three are the limited-edition designs I painstakingly created. They embody the culmination of three months of hard work, day and night! I hope they won't disappoint everyone!"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes as she watched the reporters rush to ask questions.
"What are the sources of inspiration for Designer Ji's work?"
"Do these limited-edition jewelry pieces, like before, all have their own conceptual connections?"
"Could you share your creative process? Why isn't Director Shang on stage today? Was she not involved in the design?"
Ji Yu answered everyone's questions with a smile, but paused when she mentioned Shang Wu.
Looking at Shang Wu, who was watching everything from below the stage, she suddenly felt that the girl from an ordinary family who always felt inferior in front of the wealthy Shang family could finally hold her head high.
She doesn't need to be jealous of Shang Wu's perfect family background, excellent educational environment, strong design talent, and beautiful face.
Even if it was perfect and flawless, it has been ruined by her and Zhou Yanci working together!
Starting today, she will reach new heights with these works, becoming even more famous than Shang Wu as a designer!
“Ah Wu worked so hard in the past. Three years ago, she brought me to Chengzhou and watched each of my works go from conception to completion.”
Ji Yu spoke softly, her voice filled with gratitude.
Her gaze swept over Shang Wu, a fake smile playing on her lips: "This is also the first time that I have completely broken away from her to create such a set of works. Whether it is the design draft or the birth of the work, I have strictly controlled it and tried my best to make it better than our previous collaborations."
Reporters in the audience all pointed their cameras at Shang Wu.
Shang Wu watched the woman on stage, her eyebrows dancing animatedly, and silently pressed the remote control in her pocket.
In the past, when every painstakingly crafted design was attributed to someone else, the feeling was more heartbreaking than giving away one's own child to another.
She painstakingly pushed Ji Yu to the altar, making her the source of Ji Yu's fame and glory, only to have all her efforts erased by the other party.
The concessions and grievances that I couldn't express for three years should finally come to an end today.
The next second, the big screen changed color.
Two identical design drafts were suddenly displayed for comparison, with the words "Stealing and plagiarizing your work, may you be struck by lightning!" printed in large red letters.
The entire audience was stunned.
Zhou Yanci's face darkened.
Ji Yu turned to look at the big screen and was stunned.
Bang!
A bench fell over somewhere on the sidelines, making a loud noise.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
A young man with a cold face stared intently at Ji Yu as he slowly walked onto the stage.
“Designer Ji, I am the true creator of this work. Aren’t you ashamed to claim it as your own hard work?”
