Chapter 202 Slapping Zhong Zhiwan's Face [2 Updates]
Upon hearing this sentence out of the blue, Xiu Yu gasped.
In the past, she would have thought Ying Zijing was joking.
But not this time.
A casual oil painting can attract an honorary professor from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Europe, so designing clothes must be a piece of cake for him.
Xiu Yu glanced around and lowered his voice: "Father Ying, when did you infiltrate Chuguang Media?"
“It’s not considered cheating.” Ying Zijing yawned, looking languid. “It’s aboveboard.”
"Sigh, I also want to join Chuguang Media." Xiu Yu said eagerly, "Dad Ying, what do you think about me becoming a janitor at Chuguang Media after graduation, just cleaning our baby's room?"
Jiang Ran, who was half asleep, woke up a bit when he heard this: "What? You want to be a cleaner? Then come to my house, I'll give you 100,000 a month."
Xiu Yu slapped an apple on Jiang Ran's head.
Ying Zijing tilted her head and glanced at the two of them, seemingly lost in thought.
There is no doubt that Jiang Ran and Xiu Yu are from the capital.
However, the reasons and purposes are still unknown.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyes slightly.
Jiang Ran has cultivated ancient martial arts and is inextricably linked to the ancient martial arts world; he is no ordinary person.
With her current divine calculation abilities, she really couldn't deduce any important information.
Furthermore, within Jiang Ran's body, there is another internal force that does not belong to him, which clearly comes from a stronger ancient martial artist.
As for Xiu Yu, he reminded her of a large family in the capital.
"Sigh, I'm a really wicked person, I'm especially prone to gloating." Xiu Yu was very happy, "I really want to see what Zhong Zhiwan's expression is like."
As if to fulfill her wish, the live stream suddenly switched at this moment.
The photographer gave Zhong Zhiwan a big shot.
In the video, Zhong Zhiwan's face was ashen, and her makeup was soaked with sweat, making her look like a drowned rat.
Her teeth chattered incessantly, and her body trembled violently.
Zhong Zhiwan saw the camera pointed at her. She wanted to run away, but everyone's eyes were on her.
Their eyes were filled with disgust, as if they were looking at some kind of garbage.
It felt like a thorn in my back, burning hot.
Martha stood up once again from the judges' panel.
Holding the microphone, she smiled slightly and said, "This 'Four Spirits' series from Chuguang Media is the best design I've seen in all my years as a judge."
"It's very unique and innovative. I almost thought that this Chinese designer had actually seen these four mythical beasts."
As the voice spoke, information about the designers from Chuguang Media was displayed on the large screens on both sides.
There is no photo, and no gender is specified.
Just one word.
Charm.
"It's a pity she couldn't be there," Martha added, "but that doesn't stop her from taking first place this time."
No one wanted to argue.
Let alone four dresses, even just one of them would be enough to outshine everyone else.
“So, Zhong Zhiwan—” Martha’s gaze shifted, and her smile vanished instantly. “I asked you before if you were sure that dress was your design, and you answered ‘yes,’ quite firmly.”
"I... I didn't..." Zhong Zhiwan was extremely flustered. She took several breaths before she could barely calm herself down. "I designed it. I didn't expect it to have the same elements, and to be so similar."
She had nowhere to retreat, so she might as well fight to the death.
To everyone's surprise, Martha's expression grew even colder: "Even at this point, you still refuse to admit it, backstage."
At this command, the four formal dresses from Chuguang Media appeared on the big screen.
The backstage staff specially enlarged the patterns on each dress.
“Please take a look, everyone.” Martha raised her hand. “I consulted Chuguang Media and learned that there is a hidden secret in these four dresses.”
"This pattern is not only for aesthetic purposes, but also contains the designer's name, which is in Chinese seal script."
On the large screen, the pattern was highlighted.
At this moment, Martha said, "Please take a look at Hua Xiu's dress."
The large screen was split in two, and on the right side appeared a beautifully embroidered dress, with the floral pattern magnified.
For Chinese people, seal script is not as easy to recognize as regular script; it is somewhat abstract.
But that doesn't stop them from seeing that the patterns on both sides are the same.
This is clearly irrefutable evidence of plagiarism.
Wow, I've never seen such a shameless person. Plagiarism is one thing, but to stubbornly refuse to admit it—where does they get the nerve?
[At such a young age, with a long road ahead of them, why plagiarize? What's the point?]
At first, I thought this girl was quite pretty; she was good-looking and had a good temperament. I never expected her to be a plagiarist. I'm disgusted.
Zhong Zhiwan stared at the pattern in disbelief, her face turning deathly pale once again.
She never expected that the pattern would actually be the name of a designer from Chuguang Media!
She thought it was just for aesthetic purposes.
It felt like countless bees had entered; Zhong Zhiwan's head was buzzing.
The light shone on her face, as if mocking her ignorance and ugliness.
"The design world doesn't need designers who make a living by plagiarism." Martha nodded to the camera. "I'd also like to take this opportunity to announce that Hua Xiu is banned from participating in any design competitions or talent shows. Zhong Zhiwan—"
“I thought you were young and might be immature, which is why I kept asking you. If you were brave enough to admit your mistakes, I would give you a chance, but you didn’t.”
Zhong Zhiwan's lips trembled violently, and her face turned deathly pale.
"So I'm sorry, you've been blacklisted in the design industry. I also hope that everyone here will take this as a warning: plagiarism is absolutely unacceptable at any time!"
On the side, in the audience seats.
Ke Huizhu was also greatly shocked.
She never imagined that Zhong Zhiwan's plagiarism incident would affect the entire Huaxiu.
But how could they know if the designer plagiarized and tried so hard to cover it up?
"Sister, who did you hire?!" Ke Huizhu suppressed her anger and called Madam Mu, who was far away in the capital, gritting her teeth, "Do you know? She plagiarized! And she plagiarized from Chuguang Media! Huaxiu is finished!"
"Sister, I trusted you to help me find a designer, but what did you find for me?! Now that you've married into the Mu family, do you no longer care about our lives?"
"What?" Madam Mu's expression changed. "Plagiarism?"
"It's plagiarism!" Ke Huizhu sneered. "Watch the live stream!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
**
At the same time, Luo Ziyue panicked.
Originally, as a model invited by Hua Xiu, she could have easily severed ties with Hua Xiu.
However, her previous remarks on Weibo directly blocked her own path.
It wasn't Xie Manyu who plagiarized; it was her.
"Luo Ziyue!" The manager was furious like never before. "What did I tell you? I told you to wait a little longer. Xie Manyu is not someone you can put down. Look at this!"
Luo Ziyue stared blankly at the phone he threw at her, her limbs feeling cold.
It's 9:30 PM in China, but it's afternoon here in Europe.
But at night, that's when netizens are most active.
Fashion design is a blind spot for many people, and most people don't have much interest in it.
But the addition of Shang Yaozhi, a top celebrity, attracted a large number of viewers to the live stream.
However, netizens did not expect that this discovery would uncover a shocking piece of news.
#Chuguang Media, Huaxiu#
#Zhong Zhiwan, plagiarism#
#Luo Ziyue, Moon Landing Accident to Scam Actress Xie Ying-huang#
The three trending topics remained firmly in the top three positions on the trending list, without wavering.
Those who didn't watch the live stream understood what was going on after clicking into the trending topics.
[This is hilarious! Luo Ziyue was just putting on a glamorous superstar persona, but she's actually a pitiful, innocent girl pretending to be innocent. She finally got caught, congratulations!]
[We strongly demand that Luo Ziyue be banned. How could someone with such terrible dancing and singing skills debut on "Youth 101" and even try to piggyback on Xie Yingwei's fame? Does she even deserve to stay in the entertainment industry?]
Has anyone heard of the Ke family? A prominent family in Beijing? A wealthy and powerful clan?
[Never heard of them, probably not well-known. I've only heard of the Nie family, Mu family, Xiu family, and the fifth family—small families, that's why they would do something so shameful.]
Who is this Zhong Zhiwan? Let's dig into her background. What's more terrifying than plagiarism is her unrepentant attitude.
[We've embarrassed ourselves completely, it's ruined us.]
Meanwhile, netizens began to use their detective skills to find out who Zhong Zhiwan was.
Meanwhile, the match has come to an end.
Chuguang Media topped the list, while Huaxiu not only failed to win any awards but was also expelled.
Ke Huizhu was having difficulty breathing and was so angry that she felt dizzy.
She turned around abruptly, looking at the distraught Zhong Zhiwan with disgust in her eyes and a cold expression.
Ke Huizhu stepped forward, ignoring the many people around her.
She raised her hand and slapped Zhong Zhiwan across the face.
Ruthless and merciless.
"You think you can even set foot in the capital?"
Taking revenge on a jerk in the morning makes me happy~
Do you still have monthly passes, everyone?! It's almost the end of the month, hurry up and vote!
