Ling Sui fell asleep in Xia Xinyi"s office. Xia Xinyan went to a meeting, and Ling Sui"s phone rang. She was jolted awake.
Taking out her phone, her beautiful face began to ache. She wrote a note on Xia Xin"s desk and quickly left.
Xia Xin returned to her office with two cups of coffee in her hand. Seeing that the sofa was empty, she was stu
ed for a second. She was about to grab her phone when she saw the note on the table.
She sighed softly. In fact, she had called Suzy several times before to ask her out for di
er, but Suzy had always said she didn"t have time.
Xia Xin had already transferred the money to her account, hoping that she would be able to quickly overcome the current difficulties.
Time pa.s.sed and it was time to design the compet.i.tion. Xia Xin was quite nervous. After all, the judges this time were all veterans with sharp eyes. She was afraid that she was overconfident.
Early in the morning, Xia Xin had already arrived at the compet.i.tion venue. She saw a few of the company"s upper management standing in front of the stage. After greeting them, she went backstage to prepare for the compet.i.tion.
As soon as he entered, Xia Xin heard a strange voice, "Oh, this is the high-level designer Kalan hired from abroad? At such a young age, I really don"t know if there"s any true talent. "
Xia Xinyan raised her eyebrows, the woman who was speaking also recognized her. Her name was Liu Mei, and she was also a designer in the industry.
Xia Xinyan knew she was here for a compet.i.tion, not a quarrel. She decided to ignore her sarcasm and lead her team to let the model try on his clothes.
"Xia Xinxin, don"t you know me?" Being ignored, Liu Mei could not keep her face straight. She stopped Xia Xinyan, and her tone became more aggressive.
She had also seen Kalan"s design work just now, and she was very proud of it because two of the clothes weren"t much different from the design script Xia Shu Ran had given her. If Xia Xin decided to show this clothes on stage later, she would lose all her face, and Xia Shu Ran had arranged a surprise for her today.
"Liu Mei, if you want to quarrel with me, you can choose another day. Today, I have no time to care about you." Xia Xinyan seemed to have a personality as she replied in a cold voice.
"A quarrel? You also know that I"m here to pick a fight with you? In just a few short months, you stole away nearly a hundred of my customers. Xia Xinyan, don"t be complacent. Liu Mei gritted her teeth in hatred and finally vented out the discontent in her heart.
One of the designers immediately stood out to speak up for Xia Xin: "Liu Mei, in our line of work, we all rely on our own abilities. What"s the point of you blabbering here? If you have the ability, go speak to the reporters and let everyone see your defeated face."
"What did you say?" "Who is the loser?" Liu Mei suddenly became angry, and her company"s people immediately ran over to join the battle.
It was embarra.s.sing for Xia Xin to not want to make things big. Besides, the compet.i.tion was going to start in half an hour. She still had a lot of things to prepare.
"Alright, stop arguing with her. Work is more important." Xia Xinxin pulled her own group apart, while Liu Mei"s group of people continued to mock her.
"Manager Xia, what are you afraid of them for? You are the future young mistress of Ji Family, who could she be considered to be? You think she"s worthy to be your opponent." Someone beside her was indignant for her.
Xia Xinyao sighed, "Of course I"m angry. Being scolded for no reason, who can bear it? But now we have to do more important things. If we miss the match, then we really will lose."
Liu Mei"s scolding match had made her feel much better. Xia Xinyan did not dare to argue with her, she only thought that she was feeling guilty.
Xia Shu Ran didn"t come to the scene, but she did bring two female celebrities to support her. The clothes that the female celebrities were wearing was a surprise that she had meticulously prepared for Xia Xinxin.
The two female celebrities had just come in. They were wearing coats on the outside, so no one could tell what type of dress they were wearing on the inside.
The compet.i.tion was held as scheduled. There were a total of four brands partic.i.p.ating in it. Nearly sixty sets of clothes were on the stage in turn. With the lights flas.h.i.+ng, the models were walking in a stable ma
er. It was indeed a rare visual feast.
Xia Xinxin saw the brand under Ji"s. The female superior that they were leading, looked over at Xia Xinxin. When Xia Xinxin looked at her, she nodded her head in a friendly ma
er.
Xia Xin was stu
ed for a moment before she smiled and greeted him. From the looks of it, Ji Mu Cheng had done a good job and didn"t let her meet any more tricky opponents.
In the stands, models were performing a series of peerless compet.i.tions along with the rhythm of the explosion.
The first round was Liu Mei"s team. She brought more than 20 sets of new models, and when the models were done, the host invited Liu Mei onto the stage. Liu Mei was all smiles as she stood on the stage and introduced her design inspiration with confidence.
Round after round of compet.i.tions were arranged in this way. The designer would give a speech on stage.
As soon as she finished branding the Ji"s, it was Xia Xin"s turn to think about the company. Xia Xin Xin"s nervous hands were a bit sweaty as she stood in the backstage of the curtain, her eyes staring at the stage.
At this moment, the two female celebrities who were still wearing their coats just a moment ago suddenly took them off. Their clothes collided with the two models" styles on the stage.
At the begi
ing, no one noticed this, until Xia Xinxin went up on stage to make her speech, when Liu Mei suddenly walked out. With a mocking smile on her face, she directly s.n.a.t.c.hed the host"s microphone, "Xia Xinxin, you just said that these works are your latest designs, and you even said a bunch of nonsense about how you searched for the source of your inspiration. If I looked to your left, I think that someone had run into your design s.h.i.+rt."
Xia Xinyan was about to get angry when she heard Liu Mei"s words. She instinctively turned her head to the left.
At the same time, almost everyone"s gazes were fixed on the two female celebrities.
The two female celebrities had long since gathered. However, at this moment, they pretended to be panicking, but still stood up from their seats, allowing more people to admire the two distinctive dresses they were wearing.
"What"s going on?" Xia Xinyan"s beautiful eyes widened as she mumbled in disbelief.
The judges, as well as some of the industry members who came to watch the show, were all flabbergasted. The styles were indeed the same, and even the patterns were somewhat similar. Could it be that this was plagiarism?
Liu Mei, seeing that everyone was shocked, laughed coldly and said, "Xia Xinyao, open your eyes wide and take a good look. The clothes worn by the two ladies are exactly the same as your previous work. How are you going to explain this?"
Xia Xinyan"s mind was in a mess as she never expected such a thing to happen.
