"Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time," Qiao Weiyang said. "It's just that I hadn't found a suitable opportunity. Tonight, Qiao Jierou gave me a good opportunity. I've already announced it to everyone. In the future, she can forget about relying on my folder to gain benefits."
Tao Huan was very impressed by this point. "Then this is called putting one's life on the line. Now, she can't use your things, and she can't think of a new design at the last minute. I don't know how angry she'll be. However, Sister Weiyang, are you really willing to do this?"
"What's there to be sad about?"
Qiao Weiyang looked at the starry sky outside the window. The weather in Berlin was just right. Looking out from afar, the stars were as bright and dazzling as broken diamonds sprinkled on velvet.
lightsΝοvel Her mood was like the starry sky at this moment. "I've said that everything in the past has made me who I am now, but it doesn't mean that I want to be trapped by the past. Throwing away the old past, what I welcome is a new life, right?"
"Yes, that makes sense." Tao Huan was still young and had not worked for long, so she did not have a deep understanding of some things. However, at this moment, she was infected by Qiao Weiyang's tone and carefreeness. She laughed.
Meanwhile, Qiao Jierou was not having it as easy as Qiao Weiyang.
She watched helplessly as Qiao Weiyang announced everything and even asked her to defend her rights. It was definitely impossible for her to defend her rights, but if she didn't defend her rights, it meant that these things had nothing to do with her.
Now, not only did she have to bear the criticism, but she also had to think of a plan for the competition at the last minute. She was very anxious.
Lin Heng's gaze was not as kind and gentle as usual. He stared at her and asked, "Rumors were spread in front of Frank, and the crowd was instigated to go to the organizing committee to disqualify Weiyang from the competition. Did you arrange for Roman to do this?"
Qiao Jierou didn't expect his focus to be on this.
On one hand, she heaved a sigh of relief. On the other hand, she had no choice but to explain, "Brother Heng, how could that be? Am I such a person in your heart? You saw it too. Roman didn't come with me. Why would I arrange for her to do such a thing?"
"Then why did she think of doing this? She was eliminated in the preliminary round. What good will it do for her?" Lin Heng's brows were very furrowed.
"So you don't believe me?" Qiao Jierou said aggrievedly. "Alright, since you insist on thinking that way, I'll call Roman over to confront her! I'll let you find out what she's thinking!"
Lin Heng did not speak for a moment. Qiao Jierou's impression of him over the years was too good, so he could not bring himself to believe that Qiao Jierou was a selfish person with such nasty thoughts.
Seeing that he was getting swayed, Qiao Jierou said, "I'll call Roman over now. Let's talk face to face."
"Alright." Lin Heng pulled her back. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have thought that way. You definitely wouldn't do such a thing to Weiyang."
"Do you still not believe me? Brother Heng, think about it. Roman and my sister have long had a grudge against each other. The two of them had a lot of conflicts before. Roman harmed my sister using my name, but I didn't know about it. If I really want to frame my sister, why didn't I call the interpreter over earlier so that my sister wouldn't be able to refute?"
Lin Heng believed her. He hugged her and said, "Don't feel bad. I said the wrong thing. I shouldn't have thought of you like this. It's all Roman's fault."
Qiao Jierou cried very sadly. "As long as you believe me, nothing else is important. I only want your trust."
"Mhm, I'll always believe you."
"Do you believe me about the folder? I really did discuss all the designs with my sister. I've never touched her things."
"I believe it."
"She released everything now. It has affected me so much. Unfortunately, I didn't leave behind any evidence to protect myself." Qiao Jierou cried.
Lin Heng trusted Qiao Jierou on this matter.
Lin Heng had always known that Qiao Weiyang was proud of her talent. Back then in the company, she was always arbitrary and looked down on many designers.
This time, she had made the entire folder public, which explained this point.
"Was the design you planned on using for the competition taken from the folder?" Lin Heng asked.
"Yes, I sought inspiration from my previous designs for the competition, but Sister's actions have left me in a dead end."
Qiao Jierou was angry and irritable now. After arguing with Lin Heng and crying, she calmed down a little.
She knew that the only way now was to quickly think of a new design to participate in the competition. Otherwise, it would really be over this time.
Not only did the commotion tonight not hurt Qiao Weiyang at all, but it also made everyone in the outside world pay attention to this matter. If she could not do anything, she would drown in spittle upon going home.
However, Lin Heng was very assured and said, "Jierou, you've always been very talented. No design is a problem for you. Didn't you and Weiyang come up with the things in that folder together? In just a few years, you've discussed no less than 500 designs and had various design inspirations. There are still a few days to prepare. It's not a problem for you to come up with a decent design, right?"
The more Lin Heng spoke, the more pressure Qiao Jierou felt.
However, when she met Lin Heng's gaze, Qiao Jierou couldn't tell him her difficulties. She had no choice but to smile and say, "That's true, but time is too tight, and I'm not as prepared as Sister, so…"
"It's okay, I believe you can do it!" Lin Heng was very confident in her and encouraged her.
Qiao Jierou smiled brightly, but her heart was filled with anger.
Qiao Weiyang dealt with Qiao Jierou in public. Su Zhuoqian received the news at about the same time in the country.
In addition to the driver and bodyguards, there were also two secret bodyguards secretly protecting her and reporting the news to the country.
What happened tonight had already reached Su Zhuoqian's ears.
Lu Mingjue sat opposite him and heard everything.
He knocked on the table. "I think it's time for me, a top manager, to step down and give up my position. Sister-in-law's way of handling things is much more brilliant than mine."
"Yes, that's doable," Su Zhuoqian agreed. "But… if she becomes her own manager, don't you think that she'd lack a handyman by her side?"
