After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Zhao Qiuyue's smug expression froze once again. She zoomed in several times in disbelief, but still saw nothing.

She seemed to suddenly realize something and abruptly looked up at the person in front of her.

Ji Nianci stood there, facing the crowd without turning around, so naturally she couldn't see the scene on the screen.

"Nobody saw anything, right?" She smiled slightly.

"Because there's nothing on the right side of my waist."

……

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing everyone to erupt in uproar.

Even the most oblivious person understands what's going on now.

Zhao Qiuyue's face flushed red, and she pointed a trembling finger at her: "Jinianci, are you lying to me?"

When Ci lowered her head to remember him, the calm indifference she had shown earlier had vanished when she raised it again.

At this moment, her expression was utterly innocent.

She said with some grievance, "Sister Qiuyue, why did you say that? When did I lie to you? Didn't you just say emphatically that there were auxiliary patterns on the right side of your waist?"

Furthermore, while you were reading the script, I didn't turn around to look at the big screen. If this wasn't my script, how would I know so clearly?

"And how could you, Sister Qiuyue, have fallen for my trap?"

While Ci was speaking, her hands didn't stop; she rubbed her eyes hard, and then her eyes immediately turned red.

It can be said that she imitated Zhao Qiuyue's appearance perfectly.

"My God, how could Sister Qiuyue be this kind of person?"

"With such a high reputation in the industry, why would Sister Qiuyue plagiarize the work of an intern?"

"Yes, she not only plagiarized, but she also slandered others."

"Doesn't anyone think that Ji Nianci is very smart? If I were in this situation, I wouldn't know how to defend myself."

"Yes, she not only fooled Sister Zhao Qiuyue, but she also tricked us all into it. Now look at her, how embarrassing!"

"I have no idea how Zhao Qiuyue designed her previous works. Have you heard that she used to have several interns under her supervision, but no one knows why they left?"

"maybe……"

Seeing that she was in the wrong, Zhao Qiuyue quickly went to Deng Jiagui's side, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a tearful voice, "Director, you have to believe me, I'm innocent. It's Ji Nianci, she's lying to you, Director!"

With everyone watching, even if Deng Jiagui wanted to favor her now, he couldn't show it.

He flung Zhao Qiuyue's hand away, his eyes filled with deep disappointment and frustration.

"What can I say to you? You've been in this industry for so many years, and you actually plagiarized the work of an intern, who was actually your intern!"

"Without witnesses or physical evidence, can he really convict me of plagiarism based on just a few words?" Zhao Qiuyue shouted, her resentment evident to everyone.

"Is that plagiarism? You directly stole my manuscript."

"Shut up, Ci Nian!"

"..."

Suddenly, the conference room door was opened.

A tall figure slowly walked in. Sunlight shone on his sharply defined face, outlining its perfect lines.

"Why is it so lively? What happened?"

His voice was steady and deep, with a playful smile on his lips.

Deng Jiagui was startled, and even the flesh on his face trembled slightly.

He quickly stood up, walked forward, and bowed slightly to the man, his voice filled with unprecedented respect.

"Hello, Mr. Shen. What brings you to the design department? May I ask what brings you here?"

The others in the conference room also quickly stood up and respectfully greeted, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Only Ji Nianci remained standing there, in the same posture, quietly watching the man in front of her, her eyebrows slightly raised.

Why is he here?

Shen Ceyan nodded slightly. "I could hear your commotion outside. Tell me, what happened?"

Deng Jiagui quickly replied with a smile, "It's nothing serious, just some minor squabbles between our departments. President Shen, you're so busy, it's not necessary for you to get involved in such a small matter."

Shen Ceyan looked somewhat impatient as he casually pointed to someone in the conference room.

"If he won't tell, you will."

Deng Jiagui felt like slapping himself in the face.

The employee who was pointed at seemed flustered, and his voice stammered:

"Uh, Qiuyue and Nianci are accusing each other of plagiarizing their work. Now they each have their own version of events, and it's hard to tell who is telling the truth."

The employee tried to describe the incident concisely. He felt that if he said a few more words, he would be killed by the sharp gaze directly in front of him.

Deng Jiagui quickly offered his seat, "Come on, Mr. Shen, please sit here."

Shen Ceyan did not sit down as instructed, his slightly furrowed brows revealing a hint of disdain.

Assistant Lin immediately understood. He quickly moved the stool that Deng Jiagui had just sat on and took a new one from elsewhere and placed it in the same spot.

……

At this moment, Zhao Qiuyue, who had been quiet for a few seconds, started making a fuss again.

"Director, you have to believe me, I'm innocent. I was just led astray by what Ji Nianci said. I did design auxiliary patterns for the waist area initially, but I changed them later and then suddenly forgot about them. I'm telling the truth, Director!"

If she doesn't say something for herself soon, she'll probably lose her job.

Unfortunately, no one believes her anymore.

"What a commotion," the man simply remarked.

"..." Zhao Qiuyue bit her lip tightly, her face was a little red, and tears were about to fall, making her look like a pear blossom in the rain.

Unfortunately, the man's gaze never fell on her. He toyed with the pen in his hand with great interest.

"You say he plagiarized you, do you have any evidence?" This question was clearly directed at Zhao Qiuyue.

"I..." Zhao Qiuyue was speechless.

It was only then that everyone realized that Zhao Qiuyue had not produced any evidence and had only relied on her own words.

"But this Miss Ji has evidence."

Ci smiled slightly.

"Director Deng, once you've thoroughly investigated the cause and effect of this matter, I don't want anyone in the design department to be able to steal other people's work just because they have seniority and connections in the company."

Shen Ceyan stopped there, saying nothing more. But his meaning was already quite clear.

Deng Jiagui hurriedly nodded and bowed, replying, "Yes, yes, I must investigate this matter thoroughly."

Zhao Qiuyue clenched her fists tightly, veins bulging on her arms, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the people in front of her.
