Su Maiqi wasn't really sure either. Miss Y was very famous in the design world, a top-tier designer with a very stable position.

But she is a very private person who values ​​her privacy highly. No one even knows her real name, let alone has any photos of her.

Almost every year she releases a work that will make her a household name; it is through these works that she has built her empire.

Aside from the annual launch of new products, which generates a wave of attention and excitement, she is almost always out of the public eye.

Su Maiqi idolizes her, not only because she admires her talent, but also because she envies her mindset and state of mind.

Despite being at the pinnacle of fame and fortune, she herself seems to have no interest in these things and does not want to become a part of them.

She lives a free and unrestrained life behind immense fame and fortune, yet has ample material support, which Su Maiqi greatly envies.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this simplicity and purity that her design talent and inspiration have not been destroyed, and her works have remained consistently excellent for more than a decade.

Even her later works became more lively and beautiful.

Su Maiqi had never thought about getting to know Miss Y before. She just silently regarded her as a role model and goal, thinking about catching up with her and working hard to achieve it.

But the wonders of fate sometimes completely exceed expectations.

First, her nominal mother-in-law actually claimed to be MISS Y's good friend and easily gave Duoduo a piece of her friend's work.

Now, her designs are being accused of plagiarizing MISS Y, and it's even trending on social media.

Since fate has provided so many clues, she must give it her all at this crucial moment.

This battle is crucial to the future development of Chenxing and Su Maiqi's career plan, and it is equally important to Gu Tingyu.

She has to give it her all and try.

Su Maiqi had Lin Jinyu's phone number, but she never called it.

Her mother-in-law didn't seem to be the type to meddle in every little thing between her son and daughter-in-law; she had a strong sense of boundaries.

On the few occasions they did meet, Lin Jinyu was always with Gu Tingyu, but he showed her enough sincerity.

On their first meeting, he gave her the family heirloom bracelet that he had left for his daughter-in-law.

The first time she met her older sister, she generously gifted her a piece designed by MISS Y.

Su Maiqi could sense that her mother-in-law truly recognized her as her daughter-in-law. At one point, Su Maiqi even felt guilty, thinking that she was just a "contract wife" and that she had let her mother-in-law down.

Later, she gradually convinced herself that as a "contract wife," Su Maiqi was not deliberately trying to deceive anyone, but rather catering to Gu Tingyu's needs.

He must have his reasons for wanting to do this and choosing this kind of marriage.

He just happened to have secured a "position" that met his needs, and his dedication was helping Gu Tingyu.

Then there's nothing I can do to wrong Lin Jinyu.

After all, Lin Jinyu acknowledges her and treats her well, ultimately because she wants her son to be happy.

To make someone happy, you must give them what they need. Su Maiqi believes she has fulfilled her contract duties very conscientiously.

Now, he also serves as the design manager of Chenxing and the person in charge of the new product launch plan. Protecting Chenxing is also protecting Gu Tingyu.

So whether it works out or not, Su Maiqi has to make that call.

We must do our utmost to protect the development of Chenxing, not only to win the first battle of our professional careers, but also to prevent Gu Tingyu from losing so early and so miserably.

Having spent so much time with Gu Tingyu, she had keenly sensed that Gu Tingyu's position in the Gu family was delicate and not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface.

The relationships within wealthy families are extremely complex, and Chenxing is clearly a crucial weapon for Gu Tingyu, not only affecting the life and death of a company but also Gu Tingyu's status within the Gu family and his future prospects.

Therefore, she still had high expectations, after all, Lin Jinyu was Gu Tingyu's biological mother.

She probably knows some of these things as well.

Even so, Su Maiqi was still very nervous when she dialed the number. She could feel her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Holding the phone in her left hand, Su Maiqi raised her right hand and placed it on her chest, trying to calm herself down.

The phone rang three times, and Lin Jinyu's warm voice, as always, came from the other end: "Hello, Qiqi."

"Mom, I remember you said before that you and Miss Y were good friends?"

"Yes, we have a pretty good relationship." Lin Jinyu's voice was calm, showing no surprise at Su Maiqi's sudden question.

Su Maiqi relaxed: "Mom, I know that Miss Y is a very low-key person. Besides focusing on design and living life to the fullest, she doesn't get involved in other things."

However, Chenxing is currently facing a major crisis. It seems only Miss Y can help Chenxing overcome this difficulty.

So I was wondering if I could ask you for this favor.

"Are you talking about the trending topic today, Chenxing plagiarizing MISS Y, right?"

Lin Jinyu brought up the matter directly, which didn't surprise Su Maiqi. Lin Jinyu didn't seem like an old person who was oblivious to worldly affairs.

Being friends with Miss Y and having a family business related to jewelry, it's no wonder she'd be interested. Since she brought it up herself, she probably guessed what Su Maiqi was thinking.

Su Maiqi didn't mince words and said directly, "Yes, Mom. This might have been maliciously orchestrated by our competitors. Chenxing is also speaking out, but it's difficult to quell these rumors all at once."

Taking legal action takes time, and it's even less efficient now during the Spring Festival. The market for this new product is crucial for Chenxing. If the competitor succeeds, the consequences could be devastating.

So, I'd like to ask my mother to see if she can get Miss Y to speak up and say something on Chenxing's behalf.

On the other end of the phone, after a brief pause, she agreed: "Miss Y is indeed not one to get involved in these kinds of things; but this matter is of great importance, so I'll talk to her about it. We're being a bit dramatic."

"The incident happened suddenly, and time is short. You can prepare a statement in advance, and then let Miss Y review it to see if it's appropriate."

"Okay, Mom, thank you for your hard work. Actually, Miss Y has always been my idol. I not only like her work, but also admire her lifestyle and philosophy of life."

I feel very ashamed to have bothered her with something like this. If there's an opportunity in the future, I hope to express my gratitude and apologies to her in person. Please convey my thanks to her, Mom.
