The manager and assistant had no choice but to leave.
“I’m sorry, Senior Sheng,” Qiao Weiyang said softly. “I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. I just saw someone in the country wearing the same design.”
“Then explain to me why this happened.” Sheng Lan was not angry. She just looked at Qiao Weiyang with interest.
Qiao Weiyang smiled bitterly. “I don’t think I can explain it. If I say that someone used my design draft but there’s no evidence, does that count as an explanation?”
Sheng Lan laughed and said, “If you had come over with the dress and told me that someone plagiarized your design, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But Qiao Weiyang, you changed this dress bit by bit to suit my size and style in front of me. If I don’t believe you, I’ll be looking down on my own intelligence.”
She was very open-minded and had no intention of blaming Qiao Weiyang at all.
Qiao Weiyang knew that she believed her.
However, Qiao Weiyang was still a little apologetic. “But no matter what, this matter still started because of me. I should apologize.”
“Forget it. Isn’t it just a clash of clothes? Is all this necessary? As the saying goes, clashing clothes isn’t scary. At most, one party will be embarrassed. Does anyone think that I’m inferior to Zhang Sihan when I wear it?” After saying that, Sheng Lan turned around nimbly.
Qiao Weiyang couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, let’s go back. I’ll keep this dress.”
When Qiao Weiyang returned to her car, she recalled some gossip about Sheng Lan and Zhang Sihan. Back then, Zhang Sihan seemed to be Sheng Lan’s junior. She was in the entertainment industry for many years but did not make any achievements.
On the other hand, Sheng Lan became famous very early on, and Zhang Sihan could never catch up to her.
The media always compared the two of them. As time passed, it was said that Zhang Sihan had a lot of resentment.
Later on, Zhang Sihan left the industry to start a magazine. For a moment, she had some momentum.
After Zhang Sihan became the chief editor of Feng Shang, Sheng Lan never appeared on the cover of Feng Shang again.
It could be seen that the grudge between the two of them was indeed a little big.
Seeing that Qiao Weiyang was deep in thought, Tao Huan asked in a low voice, “Sister Weiyang, did Senior Sheng blame you?”
“There’s no problem,” Qiao Weiyang said in a low voice.
This was not what she was concerned about now.
What she was concerned about was… her own design drafts.
In the past, when she was working in Hengyuan, many of Qiao Weiyang’s design drafts were shared with Qiao Jierou. Previously, many of Ocean’s designs were also signed with Qiao Jierou’s name.
At that time, she did not mind these things as her head was still befuddled.
When she sobered up, she left Hengyuan and packed up all the design drafts she had not used.
She thought that she had already taken everything away. Today, she found out that she had left something behind.
She pinched the space between her eyebrows. Thinking of this, she knew that there would be many future troubles.
After returning, Qiao Weiyang instructed Tao Huan, “Let me know immediately if there’s any movement on Zhang Sihan’s side.”
“Got it, Sister Weiyang.” Tao Huan’s expression was solemn.
The next day, Qiao Weiyang got up and went downstairs for breakfast. Tao Huan ran over with her phone. “Something happened. The photos of Senior Sheng’s clothes were posted online last night. Everyone back home is comparing them.”
Qiao Weiyang glanced at the comparative photos.
Sheng Lan was magnanimous, while Zhang Sihan was thinner. It should be said that they each had their own strengths.
There were all sorts of opinions in the comments section.
However, in general, many people thought Zhang Sihan wore it better.
After all, everyone had a good reason. [The chief editor wore the dress first and Sheng Lan wore it later. Besides, no matter what, the chief editor wore something from Ocean. I believe I don’t need to say much about the popularity of this brand, right? As for what Sheng Lan is wearing, we don’t know.]
[That’s right. Just because she’s a movie queen doesn’t mean that everything she does is right, right? This matter has to be judged on a first-come, first-serve basis.]
[Besides, don’t you think that you have to be thin to look good in this outfit? Sheng Lan’s appearance is too strong.]
[That’s right. A dress like this is more suitable for someone with a delicate figure.]
Qiao Weiyang thought for a moment and said, “When are we flying back to the country?”
“In the afternoon. We’ll be there in the evening,” Tao Huan said.
“Okay, let’s pack after breakfast.”
After Qiao Weiyang confirmed the time, she sent Su Zhuoqian a WeChat message.
A moment later, she received his response. [I still have two days. Go home first.]
Every time the word ‘home’ was mentioned, it felt warm. Qiao Weiyang smiled and replied: [Okay.]
…
In the evening, it was Feng Shang’s anniversary celebration.
Last night was the cocktail party before the anniversary celebration.
Zhang Sihan became a trending topic because of her dress. She was in a good state all day.
The assistant came forward and said, “Chief Editor, Miss Qiao has sent another dress over.”
“Let her in,” Zhang Sihan said.
The assistant invited Qiao Jierou in.
Qiao Jierou was holding a new dress in her hand. She smiled and said, “Chief Editor, the new dress is ready.”
“Didn’t you already give me a set?” Zhang Sihan said with a smile.
“One is for the cocktail party, and the other is for tonight. Isn’t it suitable?” Qiao Jierou smiled and said, “A great beauty should wear more beautiful clothes.”
Zhang Sihan smiled at the compliment. “Alright, put it over there. I plan to wear the same dress as last night.”
“Didn’t you already wear it?”
“It’s because I like it,” Zhang Sihan said with a smile.
“It’s my honor,” Qiao Jierou replied with a smile.
Actually, she had already guessed why Zhang Sihan made that decision.
After the trending searches last night, everyone praised her for her good figure.
More importantly, she had defeated Sheng Lan. This was extremely rare in her career.
As Zhang Sihan tidied her hair, she asked, “I heard that Qiao Weiyang plagiarized your design?”
“You can’t say that. We’re a family and work in the same company. Many design concepts are actually the same.” Qiao Jierou’s words were a disguised admission.
“No wonder. I heard that she was the one who gave Sheng Lan the dress she wore,” Zhang Sihan said calmly. “Birds of a feather flock together.”
Qiao Jierou quickly said, “If I had known that Sheng Lan was going to wear that design, I would’ve avoided it long ago.”
“Why? It’s not your fault.”
