2364 Twins
“Haitian, what’s wrong?” Lin Heng went forward and pulled her.
“I-I…” Hu Haitian stammered, unable to say anything.
“What’s going on?” Lin Heng asked sternly.
Hu Haitian had no choice but to say, “They accused me of plagiarism. They sent a letter to the media and the country to severely condemn my behavior. I didn’t do it, President Lin.”
Lin Heng was instantly shocked. If the judges could determine that Hu Haitian’s design was plagiarized, then they must have evidence. Otherwise, they would have to bear legal responsibility for damaging Hu Haitian’s reputation!
Lin Heng didn’t want to ask her anything else. Since she got involved in a plagiarism case, he didn’t want this talent anymore.
“President Lin, this is really just slander. I didn’t…”
“It’s useless for you to tell me this. Go and complain to the committee according to the procedure.”
Hu Haitian was instantly discouraged. She felt guilty. How did they find out?
Lin Heng suddenly thought of something. Since Hu Haitian was called in for questioning because of plagiarism, then Qiao Weiyang… Could she have plagiarized this time too?
She had plagiarized Qiao Jierou before. Back then, Lin Heng was neutral. He did not believe that Qiao Jierou would plagiarize, nor did he believe that Qiao Weiyang would plagiarize.
But the reality now…
Lin Heng did not dare to think further, but from Qiao Weiyang’s face just now, he could not see such emotions at all.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed Qiao Weiyang’s number.
He was blocked again.
Worried, Lin Heng called Tao Huan. Tao Huan had a public work number, so it was definitely the right choice to look for her.
“Where’s Qiao Weiyang? I’m looking for her.”
“You are? Why are you looking for Miss Qiao? She’s not here now, so she can’t answer your call.” Tao Huan actually recognized his voice, but she was too lazy to entertain him.
“Lin Heng. Have her call me back after she’s back.”
“Alright, I’ll pass the message on,” Tao Huan said in a businesslike manner. She then pursed her lips. How could there be such a shameless person?
Lin Heng returned to Qiao Jierou’s side and told her about Hu Haitian.
Qiao Jierou was shocked. “So what about Sister? What was Sister’s outcome?”
“I don’t know either. I can’t get through to her.” Lin Heng was worried.
Qiao Jierou revealed a look of joy. Did Qiao Weiyang really fail this time? And so soon?
Wouldn’t everything be too beneficial to her, then?
She was extremely excited but hid her emotions. “Other than the two of them, were there any other contestants? What’s going on? Were others called over because of this?”
Lin Heng remembered that he had indeed seen many contestants just now, but he was anxious to know about Qiao Weiyang’s situation, so he didn’t ask others what was going on.
It was also very troublesome to contact others now because of the language barrier.
“Probably.” Lin Heng could only guess.
This was great! When Qiao Jierou thought about how Qiao Weiyang had been kicked out of the competition early, she knew she was even closer to victory.
There was almost no suspense in the outcome now.
“Brother Heng, don’t worry. Sister has a manager like Lu Mingjue behind her. She’ll definitely handle the matter well. Let’s not worry too much. My mother has introduced a few investors to me. There’s a video conference later. Can you help me attend to them?”
Lin Heng had no choice but to calm down and attend to Qiao Jierou’s guests.
On Qiao Weiyang’s side, after coming out of the venue, she was in a very relaxed and natural mood. After getting into the car, she kissed Su Zhuoqian’s face. “Guess what happened.”
“From the looks of you, it must be something good.”
“A noble luxury clothing company contacted me and asked me to be their chief designer to develop a new brand. This way, I can stay in Germany. They offered to give me German nationality and many other generous conditions.” Before Qiao Weiyang left, she did not expect this result. Sure enough, big companies were indeed starting to poach people.
Su Zhuoqian looked at her. He cherished her and was proud of her. “And?”
“I rejected! S Country is so good. Why should I be a German? Besides, I have my own brand.”
“They must be really disappointed, then.”
“I told them that I have a son and a husband in S Country. I’ll be with them forever and won’t go anywhere else.” Qiao Weiyang’s face was filled with a smile. Whenever she was going through a hard time, it was their support that made her push forth. Her heart was warm as she transformed back into who she was in the past.
Su Zhuoqian tilted his head and kissed her face. He understood her intentions.
…
Qiao Jierou quickly got Jiang Lin to buy trending topics and marketing articles. She released the news that someone had been kicked out of the International Fashion Design Competition for plagiarism, and Qiao Weiyang’s name was included.
All of a sudden, everyone was discussing it.
Qiao Jierou’s fans were elated and bashed Qiao Weiyang. Someone even commented: [Since her design was plagiarized in the competition and her character is like this, shouldn’t she give back the Best Actress Award she won? She shouldn’t be allowed to keep it!]
[That’s right, that’s right. What right does such a person have?! Besides, the trophy originally belonged to our Jierou.]
[I knew there was something wrong with Qiao Weiyang long ago. I told you there was something wrong with her last evening gown!]
[Last time, it was because Sheng Lan wore her gown well that everyone thought that she didn’t plagiarize. Sheng Lan had a good temperament, which is why she could pull off that gown so well.]
[It’s not that I want to say this, but our Jierou has always been the one to suffer. She’s clearly beautiful, generous, beautiful, and cute, but she’s always been suppressed by Qiao Weiyang. Really, she’s too pitiful.]
[I don’t know what kind of backing Qiao Weiyang has to be able to do this! No one cares about our Jierou. She only has us, so we must work hard to fight against the anti-fans. Everything must be done. Best of luck!]
All of a sudden, news of Qiao Weiyang’s plagiarism caused a lot of public opinion.
When Qiao Weiyang received the news in Germany, she naturally understood what was going on.
It seemed that the person who was rejected by the committee should be Hu Haitian. Otherwise, Qiao Jierou wouldn’t have received such incorrect news.
At the cocktail party before the award ceremony…
Qiao Weiyang came over in a simple long dress. As soon as she entered the venue, Frank quickly walked toward her and asked with concern, “I saw the news in your country, but the main committee didn’t mention anything related. Qiao, what’s the situation on your side?”
“That’s not real news. At most, it’s news that someone bought with money. Don’t worry. Since I’ve never done such a thing, how can I be affected by such a thing?”
