Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Still Got Stolen Chapter 31 -31 Still Got Stolen Lin Zhiyi had just returned to school when she received a message from the director about submitting the manuscript.

She turned and went to the director’s office.

In addition to contestants from other grades, she hadn’t expected Song Wanqiu to be there too.

Originally, each grade nominated one contestant, but their graduating class had been granted two slots.

Who could deny Gong Chen’s power?

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward, and before she could speak, the director began to scold her.

“Lin Zhiyi, you’re the only one who hasn’t submitted your work. Don’t always drag everyone behind, Miss Song was the first to hand in her manuscript.”

Song Wanqiu humbly smiled.

Lin Zhiyi knew Song Wanqiu’s tactics. If she argued, Song Wanqiu would start acting.

She didn’t want to give Song Wanqiu a spectacle to perform here.

Lin Zhiyi said indifferently, “Sorry. I’ll show it to you now.”

She opened her bag, took out the drawing board, and upon opening it, found it was empty!

The sketches she had put inside were gone!

While she was dumbfounded, Song Wanqiu snatched her drawing board away and opened it in front of everyone.

Everyone stared at the blank drawing board and gave Lin Zhiyi strange looks.

Song Wanqiu feigned difficulty: “Zhiyi, it’s alright if you couldn’t come up with a design, but why deceive everyone?”

The other contestants looked at Lin Zhiyi with displeasure.

The director slammed the table and stood up: “Lin Zhiyi, you’re out of line! Snatching a contest slot and behaving so negligently! Do you even understand design? Take a good look at what design is!”

The director angrily spread Song Wanqiu’s manuscript on the table.

Lin Zhiyi stiffened when she glanced over Song Wanqiu’s design.

It was her contest entry!

She fiercely looked up at Song Wanqiu.

Song Wanqiu wasn’t the least bit surprised by her reaction and smiled slightly, as if mocking Lin Zhiyi’s overestimation of herself.

She picked up her own design: “Zhiyi, what do you think? I’m quite pleased with it, so I went ahead and applied for a copyright certification early, to prevent some people from plagiarizing.”

Her emphasis on plagiarism was actually a message to Lin Zhiyi that it wouldn’t help to make a fuss now.

With the original in her hands, along with copyright protection, no matter what was said, the work was hers now.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi could only clench her fists, using the pain in her palms to suppress her anger.

The director put away Song Wanqiu’s design and sneered: “Lin Zhiyi, you should withdraw before you embarrass yourself further!”

Lin Zhiyi knew that her withdrawing from the competition was exactly what Song Wanqiu wanted.

But this time, she had taken precautions.

freewebnøvel.coɱ She had deliberately put her previous designs in the cabinet, letting Shen Yan help Song Wanqiu switch them.

It was to make Song Wanqiu believe that the manuscript in her hands was indeed Lin Zhiyi’s contest design, thus lowering her guard against her.

Why then had Song Wanqiu managed to get hold of the re-designed manuscript?

Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes and met Song Wanqiu’s meaningful smile.

She instantly understood—it was Gong Chen!

For Song Wanqiu, he really would stop at nothing!

“Director, the organizers didn’t require us to submit our designs today. They only said that the design and samples must be handed over to them for safekeeping the day before the contest.”

The director was taken aback but still spoke condescendingly: “Lin Zhiyi, there are three days left. Forget about the design; you’ll hardly finish the sample. Moreover, your hand is still useless!”

“Thank you for your concern, director. I can manage,” Lin Zhiyi said calmly.

With a cold snort, the director waved his hand dismissively: “Fine, I’ll wait to see your embarrassment! Now, get back to work.”

Song Wanqiu glanced at Lin Zhiyi’s hand and left with a sneer.
