At this moment, Hao Yan and her daughter were completely dumbfounded. They never imagined that a newcomer who didn't even have a finished design could obtain Henry's authorization!
"Now, Miss Hao, would you like to explain where this design came from?" Bai Qingzhi asked, still smiling.
The roles were reversed; the one who questioned her became the one who answered, and most importantly, she still couldn't answer.
Hao Yan quickly calculated in her mind that Hao Ni was already terrified and was clinging tightly to her mother's clothes.
Nowadays, admitting that the design drawings are not one's own is the most correct thing to do, but admitting it would mean stealing.
Compared to stealing, buying the blueprints is a less severe punishment.
Within seconds, Hao Yan figured it out and quickly chose the path that would cause her the least harm.
She strode up to Yuan Na and coldly questioned her:
"Didn't you say you designed this blueprint?"
Yuan Na had no idea what the other person meant.
Hao Ni understood, stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Na's clothes, and sharply questioned her:
"You sold us the design drawings, claiming they were original. We only bought one set because we had to bring three finished products to the exhibition and time was too tight."
Although buying and selling design drawings is unethical, it's an open secret in the design community, and nobody seems to think it's excessive.
Yuan Na opened her mouth to retort, but was glared at angrily by Hao Ni.
"You took the money, and you still lied to us?"
After saying that, he suddenly moved closer to Yuan Na and threatened her in a low voice.
"If you tell the truth, I'll make sure you can never be in the design industry again, and your family will never have a peaceful life again."
The light in Yuan Na's eyes went out instantly; she knew she had no other choice.
"However, after this matter has calmed down, I will bring you to my studio, just as I promised before."
Hao Ni perfectly inherited her mother's personality of giving her a beating followed by a sweet treat.
"I'm sorry, I was greedy and blinded by greed. Miss Bai, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Yuan Na admitted through gritted teeth.
The disdainful looks from those around her seemed to pierce her like sharp swords.
Seeing that Yuan Na had taken responsibility, Hao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Bai Qingzhi's side with a guilty expression.
"Miss Bai, we are sorry. It was our fault today. We are willing to accept any punishment."
“Okay, let’s call the police.” Bai Qingzhi nodded in response.
The video was handed over to the police, and Hao Yan was asked to leave the exhibition because it was not an original work. The Jewelry Association banned her from the competition for three years and ordered her to pay Bai Qingzhi a large sum of money in compensation.
Bai Qingzhi knew in her heart that this was probably the greatest punishment Hao Yan and her daughter could receive today.
However, there's no rush now; she feels there's even bigger news about Hao Yan.
Of course, the finished pieces funded by Hao Ni also ended up in Bai Qingzhi's hands. Looking at the exquisitely crafted jewelry, Bai Qingzhi was very happy.
It must be said that although the Hao family has a bad character, they are still willing to spend money. The jewelry they use is made of the finest materials and the designs are perfectly replicated.
"Now I finally understand why you only made one set of jewelry," Wenrou said with a troubled expression.
"Every little bit helps. Our studio has just opened and we don't have enough funds right now. Why not have someone pay us to make it for us?"
That's right, Bai Qingzhi only made one set; for the remaining two sets, she could simply take Hao Ni's.
Anyway, the other party definitely wouldn't dare to reveal that they actually stole three sets of blueprints.
"You're so clever, you actually foresaw all of this." Wenrou smiled sincerely.
"Those I schemed against were all people who wanted to scheme against me first. To me, they deserved it." Bai Qingzhi smiled sweetly.
Her gentle expression showed a momentary pause, but she quickly returned to normal.
The exhibition has returned to normal, but this time Bai Qingzhi's booth has become the most popular spot.
The area was completely surrounded by a crowd. Standing outside the crowd, Xiao's mother and Bai's mother smiled and said upon seeing the newcomers:
“This is my daughter.”
"This is my daughter-in-law!"
Xiao Yuan was also squeezed out of the encirclement and stood not far away, looking at Bai Qingzhi with a smile.
Fearing something might happen, Xiao Yuan even called in bodyguards, who stood behind Zhizhi like mountains.
The products on the booth sold out quickly, and the three of them exchanged a smile, packed up their things, and ran away.
Originally, I planned to celebrate with the two of them, but as soon as Bai Qingzhi came out, she was taken away by Xiao Yuan.
"It's time for our date now." Xiao Yuan shoved Bai Qingzhi into the car and kissed her without saying a word.
Although he really wanted to continue, time was running out, so he could only take a quick bite and drive away.
It was already dark, and Bai Qingzhi looked at the route the car had taken and felt puzzled.
Did you leave anything at the company?
The car was heading towards the company.
Xiao Yuan shook his head.
Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at the office building. It was dark inside and already locked.
Xiao Yuan took Bai Qingzhi's hand and walked straight past the building entrance.
"Zhizhi, I have a gift for you." Xiao Yuan found a black cloth strip and blindfolded Bai Qingzhi.
Holding Xiao Yuan's hand, Bai Qingzhi followed him forward, her steps unsteady. After about five or six minutes, Xiao Yuan stopped.
"It is my greatest fortune that you agreed to be with me." Xiao Yuan's voice was not loud, but it went straight into Bai Qingzhi's heart.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan released Bai Qingzhi's hand, and in the darkness, Bai Qingzhi felt a sudden panic.
Hastily pulling down the blindfold, Bai Qingzhi saw Xiao Yuan standing not far from her under the dim streetlights, smiling at her.
Behind him is what I see every day on my way to and from get off work.
A newly built amusement park.
"Zhizhi, this is for you." As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, the sign behind him suddenly lit up.
Aizhi Amusement Park.
It wasn't available this morning.
Bai Qingzhi looked at the sign in surprise, then slowly walked closer to Xiao Yuan.
"Did you build this for me?"
"I remember when we first went on our date, you said you really liked amusement parks. At that time, I thought I would build one just for my Zhizhi, exclusively for her." Xiao Yuan's eyes were filled with laughter as he stared intently at Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Qingzhi never expected that Xiao Yuan would remember her simple words for so long. The first time the two went to the amusement park was when they had just met.
"You liked me back then?" Bai Qingzhi's eyes lit up.
“Even earlier than that time.” Xiao Yuan reached out and pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms, stroking her head as he answered.
The two were facing the amusement park, and as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, the lights inside lit up one by one.
Holding Bai Qingzhi's hand, she walked inside and then noticed that roses were placed everywhere along the roadside.
"I planted all of these myself, and I arranged them myself. Zhizhi, do you like them?" Xiao Yuan stared at Bai Qingzhi, feeling a little uneasy.
Bai Qingzhi did not hide her true emotions and nodded vigorously.
