Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Ye Xinghe gave Su Xiaotong an idea: "When you get back, add a watermark immediately. All you can do is pray that she copies more of mine."

After the two came out of the break room, Ye Xinghe slowly walked back to her seat. She glanced at the other people's desks and found that there were actually three other people who also had this type of USB drive.

What these individuals have in common is that they are all students who ranked first in their graduation projects in the Environmental Art Design major.

Wang Nana's move was indeed brilliant; by incorporating so many excellent designs into her work, her chances of winning are extremely high.

Ye Xinghe had just returned to her seat when she received a call from home; it was Uncle Fu calling.

"Miss, Xing Fei just arrived at the house. I didn't let her in, and she's still waiting at the door. I called the Second Young Master, but he didn't answer; he must be busy."

Ye Xinghe: "Uncle Fu, you don't need to worry about it. Just go about your business, go out when you need to, and pretend this person doesn't exist."

After hanging up the phone, she glanced at the security camera at the door and saw that Xing Fei's car was parked right across from her garage.

Then Ye Xinghe sent a message to Qiao Lin.

"Qiao Lin, get dressed up and drive my second brother's car. Go anywhere you like. Just make sure your upper body looks as much like my second brother's as possible. We'll leave around five o'clock. Drive slowly and have Xing Fei follow you."

Qiao Lin: "Understood."

As it approached five o'clock, Qiao Lin tied her hair up as high as possible, leaving only a few stray hairs at the bottom. Then she put on a baseball cap and a black hoodie.

She didn't know if the seats in Ye Xingchen's car could be adjusted to a higher position, so she took two extra thick cushions and sneaked into the garage.

At five o'clock sharp, Qiao Lin drove out.

As Qiao Lin passed Xing Fei, he turned his head to the other side and deliberately sped up.

Xing Fei started her car when she heard the noise, and when she saw Ye Xingchen's car come out, she quickly followed behind.

Qiao Lin was afraid that Xing Fei wouldn't be able to keep up with the car, and also afraid that she would catch up with him and see through his disguise, so he drove sometimes fast and sometimes slow, weaving through the road like a dragon.

Upon receiving Ye Xinghe's "Go home" message, Qiao Lin took off his hat, removed the cushion from under his bottom, found an intersection, turned around, and slowly drove back.

Xing Fei followed closely behind, and at the first intersection, she finally caught up with Ye Xingchen's car and discovered that the person inside was actually Qiao Lin.

Xing Fei slammed her hand on the steering wheel, realizing she'd been tricked! At the same time, she was certain of one thing: Ye Xingchen hadn't left the country at all; he was still in Jiangyang! It seemed that simply blocking him wouldn't work; she had to think of another way.

She pulled the car over to the side of the road. She logged onto the registration platform for Jiangyang First Hospital on her phone and found that all of Ye Xingchen's appointments for tomorrow were already booked; she could only book for the day after tomorrow.

Xing Fei was smarter this time. She was worried that Ye Xingchen would run away if he saw her information, so she used her relative's ID card to register.

The results of the first assessment were released on the Huashi Group's internal network at 9:00 AM the following day.

Ye Xinghe, Su Xiaotong, and Wang Nana all successfully entered the top ten.

All employees gathered in the main conference room.

Several leaders from headquarters also came today, and they all sat in the first row.

The top ten shortlisted designs were all posted on the company intranet, and employees could view them on their own computers.

Wang Nana, the designer who received the most votes, was the first to give a speech.

Ye Xinghe opened Wang Nana's design, and a smug smile appeared on her lips. She immediately spotted the part that had been copied—the reception area design right at the entrance.

At this moment, Su Xiaotong sent her a message: "Wang Nana did indeed plagiarize my design."

Ye Xinghe replied: "Don't be impatient, let her show off for five minutes first."

Wang Nana! These must be the five most triumphant minutes of your life.

Wang Nana slowly walked to the front of the stage, projected the design onto the large screen in front of her, bowed deeply to the audience, and then began her speech.

Ye Xinghe didn't listen to what she was saying, keeping track of the time. Five minutes later, she suddenly raised her hand to interrupt, "Distinguished leaders! I have an objection!"

Hua Qingmeng turned and glanced at her. "Go ahead."

Ye Xinghe stood up and said sternly, "Wang Nana's design is suspected of plagiarism!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

Hua Qingmeng urged Ye Xinghe to come to the front of the stage, "What evidence do you have?"

Ye Xinghe pointed to the screen, "This design for the reception desk at the entrance was my final project for the second semester of my sophomore year. I have it saved on my computer."

Group A leader Su Nanqing smiled and said kindly, "Architectural designs are largely the same, basically all pretty much the same. Ye Xinghe, are you sure this is plagiarism?"

Ye Xinghe's eyes were firm. "I'm absolutely certain. I was even criticized by my tutor because of this picture."

Ye Xinghe ignored Wang Nana beside her and operated the computer for a moment. "If you turn this picture upside down, the shape of the front desk looks like a coffin. And the pattern on the background wall looks like an embroidered shoe."

The people in the audience also flipped through the image on their computers, and it did indeed look more and more like the picture.

Wang Nana stepped forward and said, "No, I didn't plagiarize. It's just similar, and my meaning is not like that."

Wang Nana was confident. She explained her design concept, which was exactly the same as the annotations written by Ye Xinghe.

"The image I designed for the front desk is a ship, representing the Huashi Group's spirit of not being afraid of storms and forging ahead."

Ye Xinghe sneered, "Fine, since you say it's not stolen images, can you zoom in on the bottom right corner of the front end?"

Wang Nana replied confidently, "Of course."

Then, she calmly zoomed in on the image. "Is this okay, Ye Xinghe?"

This action greatly shocked Ye Xinghe. She had placed a very small watermark in the lower right corner, and now there was nothing in the picture, yet Wang Nana had still discovered it!

Wang Nana gained the upper hand and said sarcastically, "I already said I didn't steal the picture, Ye Xinghe. You can't target me just because I got more votes."

"Distinguished leaders, it really was just a coincidence that the designs were similar. My original design was for a ship. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with a coffin; a coffin symbolizes promotion and wealth."

The leaders discussed it briefly, then Hua Qingmeng said seriously, "This part needs further discussion. Ye Xinghe, you can go back to your seat. Wang Nana, please continue."

Ye Xinghe didn't leave the stage, but looked at Wang Nana with a smile, "You say you didn't plagiarize, then do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Wang Nana retorted, "What's there to be afraid of! If I plagiarize, I'll leave the Huashi Group on my own initiative."

Ye Xinghe raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a hint of disdain, "This is so boring. If we're going to gamble, let's gamble big."
