Chapter 196 Come back to the law firm with me
"...Jiangning."
Chu Qingxue froze on the spot, her footsteps frozen in place. She almost thought she had misheard.
Zhou Xinhai took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit.
Apart from Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan frowned, but there was no surprise or astonishment on his face.
Jiang Ning stepped forward, her every move elegant and confident. Although she hadn't dressed up deliberately, she was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
"Wait a moment!"
Chu Qingxue rushed to the three judges, including Zhou Xinhai.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could Jiang Ning be the winner?"
Chu Qingxue no longer cared whether others thought she was a sore loser; she had to get an explanation.
“I can repair things much, much faster than her, and weren’t you just praising my craftsmanship?”
When questioned by Chu Qingxue, Zhou Xinhai smiled calmly.
"Yes, Miss Chu, your craftsmanship is quite excellent, among the best in the country."
"Then why?"
"So, we're looking at the domestic market..."
Catherine, who was standing nearby, chimed in.
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Qingxue realized that the three judges' praise of her was conditional—
domestic.
Chu Qingxue's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Therefore, no matter how high her craftsmanship is, it is only at the level of the upper echelons of Country A.
"No...impossible...Jiang Ning's hand is injured, how could she possibly reach an international high level!"
Seeing that Chu Qingxue was still unconvinced and refused to give up, Zhou Xinhai handed the scepter that Jiang Ning had restored to Chu Qingxue.
"You can take a look for yourself."
Chu Qingxue took the scepter, her eyes widening in surprise.
Beside him, Zhou Xinhai's voice slowly rang out:
"The curved surface of the scepter restored by Miss Jiang is exactly the same as the original setting method of the genuine article, both using square gemstones in a hidden setting. However, because the previous technology was not mature enough, the gemstones were prone to falling out..."
Almost all the guests present were industry professionals, and it was immediately obvious who had the better craftsmanship in the restoration process between Jiang Ning and Chu Qingxue.
Although Lu Junyan is not a professional in the jewelry industry, he does have aesthetic sense and taste.
Therefore, he was not surprised at all by Jiang Ning's victory.
only……
Jiang Ning's figure was reflected in Lu Junyan's eyes.
Jiang Ning wore an ivory-white women's suit, with her long hair tied back in a single ponytail, looking capable, sophisticated, composed, and intellectual.
In a daze, Lu Junyan suddenly couldn't remember what Jiang Ning was like when she was a full-time housewife.
Over there, Zhou Xinhai was still explaining:
“Miss Chu, although you have tried very hard to restore the original setting, you still cannot completely hide the metal prongs in order to secure the gemstones. In comparison, Miss Jiang’s technique is superb. The gemstones are arranged precisely, the setting is secure, and the metal is perfectly hidden. As far as I know, only one person can do such a precise and advanced setting technique…”
BYC!
The name suddenly popped into Chu Qingxue's mind.
Yes, BYC.
As if grasping at the last straw, Chu Qingxue excitedly shouted to Jiang Ning:
“Jiang Ning, the inlay technique you used is the seamless, fully hidden curved surface inlay technique created by BYC, the master of the ‘Piano’ series. BYC has applied for an exclusive patent for this technique. I am a disciple of Master BYC. You have to pay patent fees for using his patented technology like this!”
Chu Qingxue's words caused an uproar in the audience.
Indeed, industry insiders are well aware that four years ago, FY hired a design master to further develop and innovate the invisible inlay technology, inventing the curved seamless fully hidden inlay technology, and applied for an exclusive patent.
If the restoration technique used by Jiangning is indeed a seamless, fully hidden inlay technique, then it is indeed equivalent to infringement.
Many people in the room turned their attention to Pitt and Shen Xiaofei.
Because they are both people from FY.
Shen Xiaofei touched her chin, looking as if she was troubled or puzzled about something.
Pitt, on the other hand, remained incredibly calm.
"Ms. Jiang, are you using BYC's exclusive patented technology?"
Zhou Xinhai asked Jiang Ning very seriously.
Jiang Ning nodded.
"yes."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's admission, Chu Qingxue almost jumped for joy.
"Director Zhou, you see, I'm right, aren't I? Jiang Ning has already infringed on someone else's rights, so she should be declared the loser in this competition..."
Chu Qingxue said to Zhou Xinhai, then looked at Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, you used my master's patent, you have to pay him patent fees..."
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Qingxue's aggressive and menacing demeanor with a complicated expression.
Especially when she heard Chu Qingxue say "him old man".
The guests couldn't keep quiet; they whispered and murmured among themselves, seemingly eager to share their thoughts on the matter.
Lu Junyan was very quiet.
His right hand rested on his lap, his index finger and thumb rubbing together gently.
Jiang Ning seemed to have been driven to a dead end by Chu Qingxue.
Lu Junyan glanced at Bai Yichen sideways.
Bai Yichen smiled, his smile as gentle and refined as ever.
“As a disciple of Master BYC, I have the right to accept the patent fees on behalf of my master.” Chu Qingxue spread her hands confidently towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at Chu Qingxue and calmly asked, "You keep saying you're Master BYC's apprentice, can anyone prove that?"
Chu Qingxue paused for a moment, then took out her phone.
"Of course."
After waiting for a while, someone finally arrived.
Jiang Ning was completely bewildered when he saw Fu Xinyue appear with a strange man.
"And this is...?"
She asked curiously.
Fu Xinyue replied imperiously, "He is Master BYC's private lawyer. He can prove that Chu Qingxue is indeed Master BYC's apprentice, and..."
Before Fu Xinyue could finish speaking, the man next to her took out a lawyer's letter from his briefcase.
“Ms. Jiang, you are suspected of infringing on my client’s exclusive patent rights. Please come back to the law firm with me.”
The man spoke to Jiang Ning in a serious and methodical manner.
All eyes were on Jiang Ning, and these eyes were of all kinds.
Lu Junyan silently watched Jiang Ning.
A voice resounded in my heart:
If you just glance at me, I'll lend you a hand.
"You say I infringed on your client's exclusive patent rights... So where is the patent certificate?" Jiang Ning calmly asked the man Fu Xinyue brought.
Chu Qingxue sneered from the side: "Jiang Ning, aren't you being too stubborn? Everyone here knows that my master applied for a patent a long time ago."
"So what about the patent certificate?" Jiang Ning asked again.
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, clearly feeling guilty.
"Well... I came in a hurry, I didn't have time to bring the patent certificate."
Jiang Ning smiled and turned to look at someone.
Lu Junyan saw Jiang Ning say to Bai Yichen:
"Bai Yichen, do me a favor."
Bai Yichen immediately stood up.
"Welcome to serve."
He came to Jiang Ning's side and, as Jiang Ning instructed, turned on the computer and projector in the meeting room.
Jiang Ning did a few simple operations, and a website was immediately projected onto the screen.
"This is country A's patent system. Just enter the patent number and you will get an electronic version of the patent."
As Jiang Ning spoke calmly, the man kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"How could I possibly know the patent number?"
"Why don't you just call your client and ask?"
“My client is a design master, busy with design work, he doesn’t have time to care about this.”
"It's just a phone call to ask for the serial number, it won't take much time."
"I said he's busy, and that means he's busy!"
The man's roar silenced the entire venue.
Jiang Ning sighed.
"It's not that complicated..."
In full view of everyone, she typed a number into the patent system, and the electronic patent document immediately popped up.
The projection on the screen was crystal clear.
Seamless fully hidden inlay technology for curved surfaces, applicant: Jiang Ning.
Inventor: Jiang Ning.
Patentee: Jiang Ning.
