Qiao Ruoxi ignored Thomson and snapped his fingers, turning the page of the PPT projected on the screen.
"This is the pattern on the model's clothes at the Qin's corporate fashion show I just filmed."
Thomson sneered, "Your designs are exactly the same, and you still say you didn't plagiarize?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her red lips and said, "Mr. Thomson, you are finally right about one thing. This PPT is indeed to prove that my design drawings are exactly the same as the pattern on Qin's model's clothes."
As she spoke, she enlarged her design drawing three times.
Thomson looked at him with disdain and was about to continue mocking him, but he was suddenly stunned.
Emily, who was standing nearby, stood up again and exclaimed, "I see, that's how it is. That's brilliant!"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and nodded. "Designers all have the habit of signing their names. Some like to sign their names at the end of the draft, while others are used to signing their names in the design. I belong to the latter."
After listening to Qiao Ruoxi's words, everyone looked at the enlarged pictures of auspicious beasts and opened their mouths wide.
The seemingly complicated patterns on those auspicious beasts actually hide the word "xi"!
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Could it be that this designer Qin's name also contain the character 'Xi'? Why not ask the person in charge of this show, Master Qin Wu, to come on stage and clarify this?"
Uncle Qin Wu's face turned pale and he quickly took out his cell phone and made a call.
When he hung up the phone, there was only a look of despair on his face.
A staff member even handed him a microphone, so he had no choice but to clarify.
"Master Qin Wu, have you asked if there are any designers in your design department whose names contain the character 'Xi'? This is being broadcast live worldwide, and when the police come to verify it, it will be used as evidence."
Master Qin Wu looked at the girl in a white dress on the stage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that her aura was too strong, exactly the same as Master Pei San!
Where did his son get the courage to fall in love with such a girl? Even if she was given to him as a daughter-in-law, he wouldn't dare to accept her!
Uncle Qin Wu picked up the microphone with trembling hands. He finally understood why his elder brother gave him such an important project.
This is a pit!
"This incident was committed by a single designer from the Qin Group. The Qin Group will thoroughly investigate the matter and provide an explanation to everyone and the Pei Group. I apologize to everyone here."
After saying these words, Mr. Qin Wu made an apologetic gesture to Qiao Ruoxi on the stage.
There was a lot of booing in the show hall, and the live broadcast barrage was full of ridicule.
[Sister Xi is truly being wronged. Qin Shi Huang only admitted to plagiarism after being presented with overwhelming evidence!]
[Qinshi hasn't admitted to plagiarism. This is a common capitalist tactic, shifting the blame onto employees. Will Qinshi issue a notice stating that the designer was a temporary employee?]
[The prophet above, I just checked Qin's official blog and saw an announcement saying the designer who plagiarized the manuscript was an outsourced employee and their employment contract has been terminated!]
[This is hilarious! Qin's actually hired an outsider to design their own couture clothing. Who would believe this? I give this PR a negative score!]
Emily was also very angry and immediately disqualified Qin from the competition.
And more and more people in the show support and believe in Pei.
"Ms. Qiao, do you know the reason behind Pei's plagiarism against Gu's?" a famous reporter asked in a hoarse voice.
Soon after, more reporters echoed the sentiment, hoping that Qiao Ruoxi could clarify the previous events.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and looked at Zhang Xiaoyue who had been standing in the corner of the stage.
"I think Director Zhang from the Design Department should know more about this than I do."
Zhang Xiaoyue stared at Qiao Ruoxi in a daze, as if she didn't expect Qiao Ruoxi to suddenly mention her.
"Director Zhang, was it you who plagiarized Gu's design draft, or was it Gu who plagiarized your design draft?" The reporters turned their microphones and stretched them towards Zhang Xiaoyue.
Zhang Xiaoyue opened her mouth and looked at Qiao Ruoxi again.
Everyone also looked at Qiao Ruoxi, only to see that Qiao Ruoxi just smiled and said nothing, and did not mean to threaten anyone.
"Before... we stole Gu's design draft." Finally, Zhang Xiaoyue's voice came from the speakers.
There was a burst of exclamations in the show.
"That means the Pei family plagiarized. The Pei family plagiarized the Gu family, and the Qin family plagiarized the Pei family. It really is true that all crows are black."
"Even if Pei's design is amazing this time, we can't award them first place. Plagiarism must be resisted!"
"I just spoke up for Pei, but it turns out they're just a copycat. Please ask the International Fashion Alliance to sanction Pei!"
Thomson sneered and sent a text message: [You're really thoughtful. Capture this little girl. Pei Yaozhou will definitely fall flat on his face this time!]
As soon as the message was sent, Zhang Xiaoyue's voice was heard twice as loud as before, resounding over the show again.
"Someone bribed me to say what I just said!"
"I, Zhang Xiaoyue, swear hereby that this design draft took all the staff in our design department two full months of hard work and overtime to produce. It is the hard work of everyone in our design department, and we have never plagiarized anyone!"
At this moment, there seemed to be a raging fire in Zhang Xiaoyue's eyes.
"It was Gu who illegally stole our design and sued us. Now they're using threats and bribes to coerce me into admitting plagiarism. Gu is the culprit of this malicious competition!"
These words shocked everyone inside and outside the venue.
Gu Yan even stood up from the front row and said, "Zhang Xiaoyue, stop slandering me. Do you have any evidence to prove what you said?"
Zhang Xiaoyue's eyes were red. She took out her cell phone from her trouser pocket and played an audio clip.
A man's voice came from the audio.
"As long as you are willing to testify that Pei's two works were plagiarized, I can guarantee that Pei's stock price will plummet!"
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to create a good time difference and cut off the Gu family's financial support. Master Pei's previous efforts will be completely wasted, and the loss of money will be as high as 300 billion."
…
Every word in the audio was directed at Pei and Pei Yaozhou, and everyone was shocked.
Gu Yan's face turned red and white, but he still looked calm and composed.
"What's a piece of audio? In my opinion, this is the Pei family deliberately framing our Gu family. Master Pei, your method is too despicable!"
Gu Yan's words obviously had an effect, and many people were confused.
[Oh my god, business warfare is truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like me. Who is the conspirator? My CPU is burning out!]
Someone posted this sentence in the barrage, and it was instantly copied.
Just when everyone thought that this would be another confusing lawsuit, Qiao Ruoxi on the stage spoke again.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. The gift for you is still to come."
As he spoke, Qiao Ruoxi snapped his fingers again.
The big screen behind her also lit up again.
