However, to Ye Aotian, Mu Qingfeng's words sounded more like sarcasm.

He gritted his teeth, snorted, and left the conference room.

Lu Minghai curled his lip in disdain: "What is he so proud of? How could Xu Jing plagiarize? There must be a mole in our company who leaked Xu Jing's manuscript to Ye Aotian."

Mu Qingfeng stepped on Lu Minghai's foot under the table.

"Keep your voice down, President Song is still here, don't talk nonsense." Mu Qingfeng lowered her head slightly in Lu Minghai's direction, warning him.

Song Hexiang looked up at the sky.

who am I?

where am I?

Oh, this is Hu Tian Real Estate.

This young Mr. Lu seems to think this place is his own company.

Song Hexiang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Just now, one of his company's employees quietly told him that Mu Qingfeng's design was even more fluid and perfect.

The design proposed by Ye Aotian, however, seemed somewhat pieced together.

Although the two design proposals look very similar at first glance, the 3D design provided by Ye Aotian seems to be the work of two different people.

Therefore, he specifically asked his employees to contact more authoritative figures, because only evaluations from authoritative figures would be more convincing.

Song Hexiang glanced at his watch and then at his subordinate beside him.

The subordinate's phone rang, and he said, "President Song, Engineer Fang is here. I'll go pick him up."

“I’ll go with you!” Song Hexiang quickly stood up.

Just then, Fang Tunan arrived, giving him an excuse to leave this troublesome place.

Song Hexiang said to Mu Qingfeng and Lu Minghai, "Chairman Mu, President Lu, please wait here for a moment. I will go and pick up Fang Gong first."

"Who is Fang Gong?" Mu Qingfeng asked politely.

"Fang Tunan, known in the industry as Engineer Fang, was one of the first graduates of the architecture department at Shanghai University and has been working in design institutes ever since," Song Hexiang proudly introduced.

"You mean the friend you mentioned who lives nearby?" Mu Qingfeng nodded thoughtfully.

“Yes.” Song Hexiang nodded.

Mu Qingfeng quickly said, "Then you should go and bring him up."

No sooner had Song Hexiang left than Ye Aotian returned to the conference room.

With no outsiders present, Lu Minghai couldn't bear it any longer.

He looked at Lu Minghai with a sneer: "Some people, they clearly have no ability, but they still pretend to be."

"Brother Mu, what makes him think he can beat us?"

Mu Qingfeng covered Lu Minghai's mouth.

"Can't you shut your mouth? I knew I shouldn't have brought you here today," Mu Qingfeng clicked his tongue.

"Stop pretending. Lu Minghai is just your dog. What he says is what his master is thinking." Ye Aotian leaned back in his chair.

Lu Minghai, with his fiery temper, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, ready to pounce on someone.

However, the conference room table was so wide that Lu Minghai could only awkwardly lie on it.

Mu Qingfeng pulled him back and said, "Of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke him? What good will it do you?"

"Chairman Ye, Minghai has always been outspoken. You're a magnanimous person, so please don't take it to heart." Mu Qingfeng chuckled awkwardly.

At this moment, Song Hexiang pushed the door open and saw the tense atmosphere between Lu Minghai and Ye Aotian, and stopped in his tracks.

Fang Tunan gave him a push from behind.

"Old Song, hurry up and go in. My time is precious. I have other things to do later."

Song Hexiang snapped out of his daze and went to his seat.

"Let me introduce you, this is Fang Gong."

"Stop with all this pretense, just show the comparison photos," Fang Tunan stopped Song Hexiang.

The employees released the design drawings from both companies.

Fang Tunan put on his glasses, took a look, and then said, "This design is quite good."

“Structurally speaking, this design makes perfect use of the space without making the house feel cramped.”

"The one above should be the first draft of the one below. It's okay, but it feels disjointed. However, the one below is much more complete than the one above."

Song Hexiang thought for a moment before saying, "Construction Engineer, these two drawings were made by two different companies..."

Fang Tunan turned his head to look at Song Hexiang, somewhat shocked.

"You mean, the design proposals from these two companies involve plagiarism?"

Song Hexiang nodded.

"Then, according to your opinion..."

Before Fang Tunan could reply, Ye Aotian interrupted, "Just now, Engineer Fang said that the above looks like a first draft. Can I interpret this as Chairman Mu, you planted a spy in our company, stole our drafts, and then optimized them to create your design?"

Lu Minghai was about to lose his temper again, but Mu Qingfeng held him back.

“Chairman Ye, you can’t accuse someone of plagiarism without evidence. I’d stake my life on it to say that our employee did not plagiarize; this is his original design.” Mu Qingfeng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Although he was afraid of Ye Aotian's retaliation, he now had to protect the reputation of Fengming Company and Xu Jing.

"Then how do you explain your company's design proposal being so similar to ours?" Ye Aotian said disdainfully.

Mu Qingfeng remained silent; he could not explain.

He only knew that Ye Aotian had the protagonist's halo, but saying such things would be considered crazy.

At this moment, Fang Tunan frowned and said calmly, "You said the design plan above is from your company. If that's the case, why didn't your company's relevant departments optimize the plan?"

Ye Aotian opened his mouth, but could only think of one reason: "Only two days is too tight, and the plan can be optimized later. The plan presented today will not be the final version."

Fang Tunan looked at Mu Qingfeng: "Did you draw the following plan?"

Mu Qingfeng shook his head.

"It was designed by one of our company's employees, but he is a truly talented designer and would never plagiarize!" Mu Qingfeng tried to explain.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Fengming Company.

Mu Qingfeng had no way of explaining this coincidence to others.

"Call over both of your design teams. I'll give them a test right here and see who's better." Fang Tunan opened his thermos and took a sip of hot water.

His gaze was sharp as he took the opportunity to sized up Mu Qingfeng and Ye Aotian.

Mu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, but if we lose, we will not admit to any fabricated charges. If there was no plagiarism, then there was no plagiarism."

Ye Aotian was a little flustered.

He knew Xu Jing's talent; none of the people in his company could compare to Xu Jing.

He lowered his eyes.

Now it's time to verify whether what Xu Jing told him last time was true or not!

At this moment, Lu Minghai raised his phone and said, "Mr. Fang, I don't think it's necessary. I can provide evidence that we did not plagiarize."

"If you still believe we plagiarized, then we'd rather not have this collaborative project."

Lu Minghai had already contacted Xu Jing privately, and Xu Jing immediately came up with a solution.
