As a professional manager, Chen Li would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, so she decided to persuade Qiao Xi nicely. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi completely ignored her.
Seeing that Qiao Xi was looking down on everyone, Chen Li was instantly infuriated. âMiss Qiao, you should have already looked for the production team, right? They know that your design was stolen, but does anyone care? Theyâll only let you continue participating in the show as if nothing happened. Youâre just a small-time designer. What right do you have to compete with our Xia Tong? Our Xia Tong has a backer. You canât afford to offend her!
âI wonât make things difficult for you. As long as you change your design, we can give you a sum of money. Just take it as though we bought your design. Moreover, I can get Xia Tong to recommend your clothes. This is killing two birds with one stone. You have no reason to refuse!
âEven if your design is good, you can only make it with defective materials. As long as you agree to change the design, Iâll prepare new materials for you. I guarantee that theyâll all be high-quality fabrics. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. Iâll definitelyââ
âYouâre very noisy.â Qiao Xi interrupted Chen Li coldly, her eyes filled with impatience.
Chen Li instantly choked, and her expression gradually turned ugly. âYou little girl, you actually dare to speak to me like this? Iâve said all the good things I could, but you didnât listen to a single word. Youâre so young, but you have such a bad temper!â
Qiao Xi pointed coldly at the door. âMiss Chen, please leave.â
âSay that again?â Chen Li glared at her.
âScram!â Qiao Xiâs thin lips parted slightly as she coldly spat out.
Chen Li was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. Previously, when she saw Qiao Xiâs design, she thought that this designer was quite capable and wanted to rope her in to be Xia Tongâs substitute. She did not expect this young lady to be so stubborn and not give her any face at all.
Since she was unwilling, there was no need to force her. After all, there were so many designers, so there was no need to insist on recruiting her.
Chen Liâs face was filled with disdain as she snorted. âDonât think that just because you say that the design is yours, people will believe you. Youâre just a new designer, yet your work is exactly the same as Xia Tongâs. Itâs obvious who was the one who plagiarized. The audience wonât believe you either. At that time, your reputation will be ruined. I gave you a chance today, but you didnât cherish it. Youâll regret it one day!â
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Li left angrily. The moment she turned around, a person suddenly appeared in her mind. This small-time designer looked a little similar to the chief of Liuli, but why would that big shot participate in such a show? Even if she really came, she would definitely be a judge.
Gu Shan was a pearl in the fashion design industry and the idol of many designers. However, she had always been low-profile and rarely showed her face. Chen Li had only seen her once from afar during a fashion show.
Qiao Xi was expressionless as her fingers gently stroked the dress she had designed. Even though it was made of rough fabric, it was unable to conceal its elegance.
Regret? It was still uncertain who would regret it! Was stealing someone elseâs things justified these days?

On the other hand, Shen Yu believed that Qiao Xi could solve this small problem, so he was no longer worried. He stared at the stage. He wanted to see who stole Little Sixâs design draft.
The show officially started recording. The first to appear was a singer who had debuted in a talent show. She had previously learned design. As soon as she appeared, the audience below the stage cheered excitedly. However, Shen Yuâs expression remained indifferent as if nothing could arouse his interest.
In Shen Yuâs eyes, the works of these celebrities could only be considered average. There was nothing outstanding about them. Those fans liked them because they had the aura of celebrities. When everyone saw Qiao Xiâs work, they would know how dull these celebritiesâ works were.
The last person was Xia Tong. After her work was displayed on stage, the entire venue fell silent.
This⦠was too perfect!
The design of the gown matched the theme. The color was gorgeous but not tacky. It made everyone dumbfounded. Even the judges were stunned. They could not believe that this gown was designed by an amateur.
Shen Yuâs entire body exuded a chill, and a trace of disgust flashed past his eyes. Shen Yu, who was known for his gentleness, actually revealed such an expression. The judges at the side sensed that something was wrong.
It was just that the show was being recorded, so everyone could only pretend not to see it. The host invited all the contestants on stage. âThe works of the five contestants have been displayed. They all have their own merits. Itâs truly an eye-opener!â
