At this moment, Shu Xinyu entered the resting room. She looked at Ning Tongtong and smiled warmly. â Tongtong, congratulations. â
Ning Tongtong stepped forward and hugged Shu Xinyu. â Mom, thank you for your support. â
âI know, youâre the best! Your work is really outstanding. Mom is proud of you.â Shu Xinyu praised.
Ning Tongtong smiled happily. It was not easy to get all of this!
The smile on Shu Xinyuâs face disappeared. â I didnât expect the runner-up to be Qiao Mu. I wanted to grab hold of her and sue her for plagiarizing your work, but she managed to pass the finals without a hitch! â
âMom, forget it. As long as she doesnât get in my way, I wonât hold it against her for what happened in the past.â
Actually, Ning Tongtong was feeling guilty. She didnât want to make a big deal out of it, as it wouldnât do her any good.
Anyway, the championship was hers. She didnât care about anything else!
At this moment, Ning Tongtongâs assistant said,â President Shu, you donât know this, but Qiao Muâs work in the final round today was almost identical to Sister Tongâs. Sister Tong relied on that successful work to win first place. I wonder where Qiao Mu plagiarized Sister Tongâs design drafts from, and she almost got her way! â
Ning Tongtong had used Qiao Muâs artwork. As long as she and Amy knew about it, no one else would know about it, so the assistant had no idea at all. When she mentioned this, she was still indignant.
â What?! â Shu Xinyuâs expression changed. â Tongtong, is that true? Why didnât you tell Mom?!â
Ning Tongtong glared at her assistant. â Who told you to talk so much! Isnât he fine now?â
Shu Xinyu frowned. â Looks like this matter is true? Qiao Muâs imitation and plagiarism over and over again is too detestable. No, she doesnât deserve to be the runner-up!â
Ning Tongtong comforted her, â Mom, donât be angry. I didnât tell you because I was worried that it would affect your mood. Letâs not argue with her. She has a backer! â
âTongtong, youâre too kind, thatâs why youâre bullied! That girl Qiao Mu is too scheming. Donât get involved with her in the future.â
âI know, Mom.â
At this moment, a staff member came in from outside and informed Ning Tongtong, â Miss Ning, thereâs a celebration party this afternoon. You and your family can come. â
Ning Tongtong was stunned. â Really? I havenât heard of it before.â
â Itâs a last-minute event. Miss Ning is the champion, so she canât be absent. â
Ning Tongtong smiled and agreed. How could she not go? She wanted everyone to be blinded by her brilliance!
Qiao Mu left Key and waited for the celebration party in the afternoon.
She looked at her phone and hesitated about how to send a message to Li Yan. It was the second half of the night in New York. Li Yan must have fallen asleep. She did not know what had happened to her during the competition.
She should have sent him a message immediately to tell him the results of the competition, but now, she didnât know how to tell him.
Sighing, she put her phone back into her pocket. Forget it, she should settle the matters in the afternoon and contact him at night.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Li Yan!
Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment before she quickly picked up the call and asked, ââUncle, why arenât you asleep yet?â
âI canât sleep because of the jet lag.â
The manâs clear and indifferent voice drifted into Qiao Muâs ears, and the depression in Qiao Muâs heart instantly disappeared. She then smiled. â Uncle, donât tell me youâre not sleeping because youâre paying attention to my competition? â
âHow could you guess that?â
Li Yan did not hide anything and admitted it directly, which stunned Qiao Mu.
