After Qiao Jierou and Lin Heng walked around, they still didnât see Qiao Weiyang. They couldnât help but find it a little strange. âDonât tell me Sister wonât even come to the banquet dinner?â
âI donât think so.â Lin Heng glanced outside the door.
Qiao Weiyang was still nowhere to be seen, but he saw Roman.
He saw Roman holding the arm of a foreign man and talking intimately. He frowned slightly, but he remembered that Roman did not have a boyfriend. It was not a big deal to make friends here.
Lin Heng quickly retracted his gaze.
On the other hand, Qiao Jierou looked in Romanâs direction again.
âWeiyang should be coming soon,â Lin Heng said. âLetâs go to the side and sit.â
Roman kept whispering something to the man next to her.
The man shrugged and said, âGot it.â
The manâs name was Frank. He was also a participant in this competition. He was a native of this country but knew S Countryâs language as he had traveled to many countries. He was very prestigious among all the participants.
Someone immediately walked over to greet him and chat with him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was unknown what they were talking about, but Frank suddenly said, âNo matter who wins the championship in this competition, we canât let someone with a history of plagiarism participate!â
He spoke in German. Some people didnât understand, but most of the guests at the event location were Germans. The staff, reporters, and so on were mainly Germans. After he said this, many people immediately surrounded him.
âWho has a history of plagiarism?â âIs it a contestant from the preliminary round?â
âWhich country are they from?â
Frank took out his phone and said, âItâs this Qiao Weiyang from S Country. She plagiarized a dress designed by Qiao Jierou previously. At that time, she was scolded very badly on the internet. Now, sheâs here to show off!â
Everyone looked at his phone.
The content he pulled out was the evening gown designed by Qiao Jierou for the chief editor of Feng Shang last time. Qiao Weiyang had given Sheng Lan the same dress.
However, because Sheng Lan was overseas at that time, Qiao Jierou had specially hired a few marketing accounts. Zhang Sihanâs photos were exquisite, elegant, and beautiful. In comparison, Sheng Lanâs clothes looked a little tragic. Not only were they tragic, but Sheng Lanâs face was also deformed.
At that time, it was also because of this that Qiao Weiyang was scolded badly by anti-fans and the general public. Even Sheng Lan was scolded. It was only after she returned to the country that she turned the tables.
Now, Frank was showing a photo of the dress Qiao Weiyang designed for Sheng
Lan before they turned the tables. Naturally, Zhang Sihanâs dress looked more elegant and stylish.
âOh, so the person who designed this beautiful dress is Qiao Jierou! Isnât Qiao Jierou the one who just came in and is standing over there?â
âQiao Jierou is beautiful and generous. Her design is very ingenious, but she was plagiarized. Itâs really unfair!â
It was easy for people to have preconceived notions. When Qiao Jierou came over just now, she gave everyone a very good impression. She was very natural and unrestrained. Once everyoneâs initial impression was fixed, it wouldnât change so easily.
Besides, the photo of Zhang Sihanâs evening gown was indeed stunning. Many contestants were secretly impressed when they saw the color and tailoring. They felt that they could not reproduce such a gown, so they admired Qiao Jierouâs talent even more.
When they heard that someone had plagiarized her work, they could not help but feel indignant and wanted to seek justice for her.
âWhoâs Qiao Weiyang?â
âThatâs right. Where is she? Call her out for us to see!â
âWe should stand up for Qiao Jierou and seek justice for her!â
Frank sent the photo to many people at the event location and said, âI think we should collectively ask the committee to withdraw this contestant from the competition! Her participation is not only unfair to Qiao Jierou but also all of us.â
He was full of righteousness, and the others echoed him.
âI think it makes sense. Participating in the competition with such a person is an insult to us.â
âThe competition shouldnât be shamed and criticized because of the existence of such a person. The organizing committee might not know the details of the truth, but for people like us who know the truth, we might be Qiao Weiyangâs next target if we still donât voice out. The designers who may be criticized in the future could also be you and me!â
âLetâs elect Frank to handle this!â
Qiao Jierou heard the commotion and glanced at Roman again. Roman smiled at her, indicating that everything was going well.
Qiao Jierou and Roman did not understand German, but when they saw the indignant expressions of the group of people, they could imagine how agitated the crowd was and how much they hated Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Weiyang did not understand German either. In this unfamiliar place, once many local contestants boycotted her, the organizers might quickly punish her.
Even if she brought an interpreter, this kind of thing was very difficult to explain in a few words. It seemed that Qiao Weiyangâs issue had blown up.
Qiao Jierou wanted to make use of this time difference and quickly settle the matter. The best outcome would be for Qiao Weiyang to be banned from the competition. Even if that did not happen, Qiao Weiyang would at least be investigated and she would not be able to participate in the competition during the Investigation. she would nave wasted an opportunity.
Lin Heng kept looking over and said, âI wonder what happened over there.â
âFrom the looks of it, they must be discussing something. People from their country like to speak so loudly. Everyone might be used to it,â Qiao Jierou said. âItâs not a big problem. Why donât I contact our interpreter and ask him to come over in advance? Weâll talk about it when he comes over.â
To be safe, Lin Heng hired an interpreter. However, most of the time, Lin Heng could rely on his English, so his need for an interpreter was not that strong.
Now that he saw that something had happened, Lin Heng felt that it was beneficial to have an interpreter.
Qiao Jierou immediately contacted the interpreter, but she did not ask him to come over immediately. Instead, she asked him to come over a little later.
If their conversation was interpreted, wouldnât Lin Heng speak up for Qiao Weiyang?
In the hotel, Qiao Weiyang tidied up, picked up her bag, and looked in the mirror. After confirming that there was no problem, she left.
Tao Huan followed beside her and glanced out of her window. She saw that outside the room was an empty lawn. There were buildings in the distance, and the view was very wide. When she looked up, she could see the dazzling starry sky outside. She could not help but sigh. âItâs a pity that I have work tonight. Otherwise, it would be great to sit here and look at the starry sky outside..â
