Rong Qi lifted her head slightly and said, “The dress I’m wearing is not a counterfeit. I’ve never had anyone make a knockoff for me. What I’m wearing is a haute couture by Qiyan Studio, a piece he poured his heart and soul into.”
The crowd below was stunned. The drama was turning out to be a little more complicated than anyone had expected.
“Impossible!” Ding Ziqiu flatly rejected Rong Qi’s claim. “We have never lent this dress out.”
Rong Qi’s eyes shimmered and pointed out, “If it’s never been lent out, then how did it end up on me? Are you saying even your own people can’t tell the real from the fake?”
Zheng Zhixuan frowned and asked, “Rong Qi, what are you implying?”
“What you heard.” Rong Qi replied.
With that, Rong Qi turned her gaze back to Ding Ziqiu and asked, “You claim to be familiar with Qiyan Studio’s operations. So, tell me, if there were a counterfeit incident, how would you discern the authenticity of this dress?” Ding Ziqiu furrowed his brow, hesitating for a moment before responding, “Qiyan Studio has a unique design style. Who would dare to create counterfeits? If Qiyan Studio were to hold anyone accountable, would we even need to verify it?”
Rong Qi nodded and said, “In that case, why don’t you take a photo and send it to your boss? Let’s see if he decides to take action against me.”
“Well…” Ding Ziqiu was left momentarily speechless by Rong Qi’s audacious proposition.
Gu Yuyan also joined in, “Miss Rong, aren’t you playing fast and loose here? Even if Mr. Ding did send the photo, how could Qiyan Studio’s boss embarra.s.s you in front of so many people?”
Others in the crowd echoed Gu Yuyan’s sentiments.
Rong Qi merely chuckled. She pulled out her phone and connected it to the hall’s projector, displaying an image. She zoomed in on the picture to show the details.
People tilted their heads, puzzled by Rong Qi’s intentions.
Breaking the crowd’s confusion, Rong Qi spoke, “Determining the authenticity of a Qiyan Studio dress is quite simple. Apart from its unique style, there’s a hidden detail. Each of the dresses by Qiyan Studio has a cloud motif at the collar, and the cuffs are sewn with golden thread in the shape of auspicious clouds. I a.s.sume the designers from Qiyan Studio present here are aware of that.”
Rong Qi closed the image and displayed several other dresses by Qiyan Studio.
As the crowd observed, they nodded and murmured, “That seems true. I never noticed it before.”
“I didn’t either. I had the fortune of borrowing a Qiyan Studio dress for an evening party once. I was so stunned by its beauty that I overlooked these minor details.”
Even the designers from Qiyan Studio confirmed, “Yes, every piece from our studio has this feature.”
Rong Qi raised an eyebrow towards Ding Ziqiu.
Ding Ziqiu’s fingers twitched, and a glint of panic flickered in his eyes. He feigned calm and said, “I am aware of this as well. But it proves nothing. Anyone who has genuinely studied a Qiyan Studio dress would notice this particular design.”
Zheng Zhixuan sharply interjected, “Exactly, what does this have to do with you wearing a counterfeit?”
Rong Qi smiled, “It has nothing to do with that. However, the real anti-counterfeit mark of Qiyan Studio’s dresses is an embroidered ‘7’ on the second layer of the cuff.”
Rong Qi added, “By the way, it’s the number seven.”
Not the logo from Qiyan Studio.
The crowd was utterly baffled, including those from Qiyan Studio..
