The man immediately stood up, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes, carrying a hint of anger.

He said in a deep voice, "Ha, you really have guts. Go to the design department."

After saying that, he strode forward.

"Yes, boss." Assistant Lin followed closely behind him, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.

……

In the conference room.

Ji Nianci seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, as if she had expected Zhao Qiuyue to say something.

Instead of getting angry, she laughed and said, "I plagiarized your work?"

“Yes!” Zhao Qiuyue said firmly.

The crowd below erupted in uproar.

"What? Commemorating Ci for plagiarizing Qiuyue's work?"

"What did I hear?"

"No wonder she argued back, it's because she plagiarized?"

"This is plagiarism, fine, but why are they trying to shift the blame?"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. I thought she was a nice person before. I never expected..."

"What?" Deng Jiagui asked seriously. "Xiaoyue, tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

"Director, didn't you notice that none of the submitted works commemorate Ci? That's because her works are in my possession!"

In remembrance of Ci Shen's solemn expression.

"That day, after finishing her design, Ci got up and went to the break room. I could see from afar that her computer screen was still lit up, with a design draft vaguely visible on it. I thought that since it was her first time completing a design independently at the company, I decided to show it to her and help her make some changes."

To my surprise, when I went over, I found that the draft on her computer was 90% similar to my initial design! I was shocked, and my first thought was that she had plagiarized my work. Originally, I wanted to make this public, but then I thought that it was her first time designing, and she was bound to make mistakes. So I didn't expose her, and even stopped her from submitting her draft, because I didn't want anyone else to know about it.

I never expected that you would knowingly refuse to correct your mistakes and instead spout nonsense here, accusing me of plagiarism. You've really disappointed me!

After she finished speaking, she fiddled with her computer for a bit, then looked up at Deng Jiagui and asked, "Director, should I upload her manuscript?"

"put."

The next second, Ji Nianci saw her own work appear prominently on the big screen.

The manuscript that was placed here is almost identical to the previous one.

It turns out that Zhao Qiuyue's offer to help her revise the manuscript was a ruse; her real intention was to steal it.

The people below gasped in shock.

"No, this is too similar! It's exactly the same."

"Yes, at first glance I can't see the difference."

Outside the meeting room, a tall and broad-shouldered figure leaned quietly against the doorway.

He lowered his eyes, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Boss, are we really not going in?" Assistant Lin asked anxiously from the side.

"Listen first, Niannian has her own way of solving things," the man said without changing his expression.

Deng Jiagui slammed the document in his hand onto the table with a loud bang, startling everyone else in the conference room.

“Jinianci, you had better give me an explanation.”

Zhao Qiuyue stared intently at Ji Nianci, her fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

Having been forced into this situation, how can she remain so calm?

"Director, what I want to say is that Zhao Qiuyue did not plagiarize my manuscript, but completely stole it, only making some minor modifications." Her voice was calm and even, as if she were stating a very ordinary matter.

"Why do you say that to me?"

Deng Jiagui was clearly siding with Zhao Qiuyue, saying, "Jinianci, you need evidence to support your claims."

"When did I say I had no evidence? When Zhao Qiuyue slandered me just now, wasn't it also without any evidence?"

She smiled, a slight curve to her lips.

Her tone was calm and even, bringing a sense of tranquility to everyone present. The once noisy conference room was now completely silent.

“I said at the beginning that this dress has three auxiliary patterns because I designed the original piece. Zhao Qiuyue only made some modifications to my first draft. The third auxiliary pattern on my draft wasn’t very obvious, so you didn’t notice it and said there were only two. Do you all understand what I’m saying?” Ji Nianci said calmly.

The expressions on everyone's faces became quite interesting. Who wouldn't enjoy a good show?

"If I can tell you where this third auxiliary pattern is located, wouldn't that prove I didn't plagiarize, and that Zhao Qiuyue is the one who actually plagiarized?" She met Zhao Qiuyue's fierce gaze without flinching, her voice firm.

Zhao Qiuyue stood up at this moment, her face carrying a different meaning: "Then tell me, where is this third type of auxiliary pattern?"

Ji Nianci lightly lifted her eyelids and glanced coldly at the other party. Her condescending attitude made people feel a sense of submission.

Zhao Qiuyue suddenly felt a little scared. She was clearly just a little girl, but her eyes didn't seem to belong to someone her age.

……

Suddenly, Ci Jinian stood up, walked to the front, turned around, and faced away from the large screen above, her gaze falling on everyone in the conference room.

"The third type of auxiliary decoration is on the right side of the waist of the dress, where there is a small cloud pattern."

“Yes, that’s right. There is indeed a small cloud pattern on the right side of my waist.” Zhao Qiuyue suddenly spoke, with an innocent smile on her face.

Everyone else was stunned by her words.

"How did things take such a strange turn?"

"I'm a little confused about it too."

So who copied whom?

"Today's meeting was worthwhile..."

Zhao Qiuyue waited until the people around her had finished discussing before speaking: "I did it on purpose just now, deliberately saying there were only two possibilities, because I wanted to give you another chance. If you didn't say anything more, then this matter would be over, and I wouldn't say anything more to you. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn!"

In memory of Ci: "..."

Zhao Qiuyue looked at Deng Jiagui: "Director, how could I not know the details of my own design? This piece does indeed have three auxiliary patterns, and I can show them to everyone now. Ji Nianci, please stop deceiving everyone."

As she spoke, she brought up her work on the computer and zoomed in on the right side of her waist.

But there was only a pure blue color there, and no patterns at all.
