Meng Wan curled her lips, "Lan Xing, don't learn these bad things."
It's unclear whether the last five characters refer to a person or a situation.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xing released his grip, spread his hands, and looked somewhat regretful.
"Alright, since Wanwan has said so, then I won't learn it. Some things do require talent, and Miss Wen is more talented than me, so I probably won't be able to surpass her."
She returned to Meng Wan's side, and Cui Qingling also stepped forward, her eyes slightly red, looking pitiful.
"Each series from Jinghong is the result of countless sleepless nights, numerous field trips, and countless creative collaborations by all the designers in the studio. They are invaluable to every designer at Jinghong."
Cui Qingling blinked, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The photographer pointed the camera at Cui Qingling's face, and many guests also looked at Wen Qinglian with a resentful gaze.
"I appreciate your recognition of Jinghong's products, but as a fellow professional, I would prefer to exchange ideas and work together to create better designs, rather than resorting to dishonest means to win."
Cui Qingling's words garnered nods of agreement from many, their gazes towards her filled with affirmation. It was truly remarkable that someone so young could maintain such composure after being plagiarized.
"When I saw your work, my first reaction was disbelief. Without this video, I wouldn't even know how to prove my innocence. You said you didn't plagiarize, but the evidence is already there. Jinghong enters every manuscript into the system, so it's clear who plagiarized."
Cui Qingling's logic was clear and logical, and before anyone knew it, she had confirmed that Wen Qinglian had plagiarized.
"I am also unwilling to admit that you plagiarized, but... the evidence is right in front of me, and I have no choice but to take legal action to protect my rights and the rights of the other designers at Jinghong who participated in the design."
Wen Qinglian stared intently at Cui Qingling, but was so choked up that she couldn't utter a single word.
"It's alright. Qingling not only dislikes these dirty tricks, but she's also a genius. Some people can't even copy properly. Tomorrow's press conference will also be streamed live online, so everyone is welcome to watch."
Bluestar took the opportunity to promote itself.
Now, as soon as you leave this exhibition hall, people in the industry will immediately receive the news, and reporters will probably publish today's events online in their entirety within ten minutes.
Not to mention that Cui Qingling already has a fan base, this dramatic scene alone has sparked a lot of discussion online.
This not only prevented the concept from leaking out and achieved a publicity effect, but also raised people's expectations for tomorrow's press conference, achieving three goals at once.
The door had been opened sometime earlier, and staff were evacuating everyone. Wen Qinglian refused to leave, but was eventually dragged away by Hu Lou. She had completely lost face, both inside and out.
If Wens fails to regain its reputation after this, its high-end jewelry brands will have absolutely no chance of selling.
After all, which rich woman would want to wear a copycat item? They don't care about the price, and sometimes they don't even care if it looks good. It's like a collector's obsession; they might not wear it out, but they must own it.
A plagiarized product not only fails to enhance their status, but it also becomes the subject of ridicule for others. No one in a position of power would allow themselves to become a laughing stock in the industry because of a brand.
The exhibition hall was emptied of people, leaving only Meng Wan and two others.
As the mastermind behind the whole affair, Meng Wan was very satisfied with the outcome.
"Wanwan, thanks to you this time." Cui Qingling's methods are not bad, but to make such a meticulous plan in a short time, in addition to a calm mind, ability and connections are also essential.
Cui Qingling spends most of her time abroad, focusing on designing her own brand, so she is naturally a bit weaker in this area.
Meng Wan had been accompanying Yan Nian's parents to various places since junior high school, and she and Yan Nian would even take on some basic projects of Yan's company during winter and summer vacations as practice. Not to mention the establishment of W·P and other companies in her later years, what storms hadn't she seen? She had long since developed extremely strong public relations skills.
This wasn't a big problem for her. Even without audio evidence, she had ways to prove Wen Qinglian had plagiarized.
"But how did you find Liang Ping?"
Liang Ping is Cui Qingling's assistant and also one of her most promising designers.
Liang Ping has been following her since graduating from the academy. Although she is not very capable, she is very creative, so Cui Qingling is also intentionally training her. She participates in almost all projects and puts her name on the project.
But I never imagined that human greed could be so great.
Cui Qingling's eyes darkened. It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed that someone she trusted had betrayed her. However, she didn't intend to pursue Liang Ping's responsibility, not because she was soft-hearted, but because she wanted Liang Ping to hand over the evidence as a condition.
"I made a lot of friends while traveling before. They helped me look for them, and by checking Wen Qinglian's recent activities, it was easy to guess."
Meng Wan spoke casually.
Lan Xing knew Meng Wan was capable, but she still couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
In her mind, Meng Wan was like a god, always calm and composed, as if everything was under her control, nothing could stump or overwhelm her, she was the kind of person who would succeed at anything.
Although they are the same age, and one is even a year younger than him, there is a world of difference between them. Yet, despite this, Lan Xing still feels that it is wonderful to be friends with Meng Wan.
Who can refuse a friend who supports you unconditionally, both emotionally and materially? Besides, isn't having such an excellent friend a sign that you are also an excellent person?
"Now that the matter is resolved, how can I repay you all, my friends?" Cui Qingling looked at them, a smile finally appearing on her face.
“We can save the food for tomorrow. Yan Nian messaged me that the factory has already finished making the new designs, so let’s go take a look. Don’t worry about the main product either. Steve is currently traveling in China, so I’ve invited him and Master Yang, one of the top hand-forging craftsmen in the country. According to their schedule, the products should be delivered by tomorrow morning.”
The so-called "six-person rule" is based on this principle; through it, one can get to know anyone in the world.
"Wanwan, you really... I'm going to cry." Lan Xing patted Meng Wan's shoulder, and Cui Qingling hugged Meng Wan tightly.
She was able to undergo heart surgery so quickly because Meng Wan used all her connections to find a matching donor. Her studio was also a project specifically designed and located by Meng Wan…
While she could only draw one design draft after another in her hospital room, her friends were working hard to help her realize her dream, even though she could have done nothing at all...
Therefore, for Cui Qingling, Meng Wan was not just her best friend, but someone she could absolutely trust.
Meng Wan seemed to sense the change in Cui Qingling's emotions, gently patted her shoulder, and said nothing.
