Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Fu Jingting looked at the pictures Gu Feibai had given him; they were product design drawings and finished product displays provided by Xu Qingcheng on Gu Youzhenpin's official website.

really.

He felt they were similar.

Even with variations, the similarity between her jewelry design and the set that Keith has released is immediately apparent to anyone with a discerning eye.

Fu Jingting's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked ahead.

"The design industry really can't tolerate plagiarism." Chen Lu clicked her tongue. "I need to call the company first. It won't be long before Gu Youzhenpin's website is compromised."

"Who copied whom?"

As soon as Gu Feibai said this, a cold gaze swept over from the side, and Xiaobai couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"Regardless of who copied whom, the one that announced it later definitely won't have an advantage. Xu Qingcheng's work is still in the competition period, but Keith's is having a new product launch today, which means the finished product has already been launched to the market." Chen Lu said this and quickly went to make a phone call. After all, if a plagiarism scandal occurs in this competition led by Gu Youzhenpin, it will not have a good impact on Gu's Group.

Fu Jingting glanced at Gu Feibai. "She won't plagiarize."

Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow. "You trust her that much?"

"Her pride won't allow her to do such a thing," Fu Jingting stated frankly. He glanced in Chen Lu's direction, then reached out and gripped Gu Feibai's shoulder. "Gu Youzhenpin, you should know your place when it comes to giving external responses!"

He applied force, causing Gu Feibai to almost curse. He nodded vigorously, "Damn, my bones are about to break."

"Gu Youzhenpin certainly won't accuse anyone of plagiarism, but ultimately, she has to prove herself that she didn't plagiarize. Even if we remove her designs and replace them with new ones, it will still be seen as Xu Qingcheng feeling guilty. So the best solution now is for Xu Qingcheng to provide evidence that she didn't plagiarize," Gu Feibai explained, shaking his shoulders.

"Even if she proves herself, it will take time." Fu Jingting said with a stern face as he looked at Gu Feibai.

Xiao Bai got goosebumps from his gaze. "What are you trying to do?"

"We cannot disqualify her from the competition. Before things are fully clear, we should allow her to participate in the competition with her new work and enjoy the right to compete fairly," Fu Jingting stated calmly.

Before Gu Feibai could even utter a curse, Chen Lu returned and heard this. She pursed her lips, "Impossible. Gu's Group won't endorse her. Although this request isn't unreasonable, the Jewelry Association has rules that disqualify any designer with a blemish from the competition until the blemish is removed. This event is unfair to Gu's Group..."

Before Chen Lu could finish speaking, Fu Jingting glanced at her lazily and said, "Designer Chen, I don't care about Gu's Group. This is my request."

Damn it! The Gu family has to listen to your demands?! Who do you think you are?!

Chen Lu was internally fuming, but dared not say it aloud.

Who is he? He's an important investor with a lot of money in his hands, and Gu Feibai is clinging to him for investment.

Young Master Gu jumped up and down, "Are you serious? If you can clear your name, that's enough, why bother... Fine, fine, I understand, I'll handle this."

Seeing the coldness in his gaze that seemed to cut his own face, Gu Feibai immediately agreed, taking the opportunity to slip in, "I'll handle things at Gu's Group. Don't try to bargain with me about the amount of investment I want."

Fu Jingting gave a soft "hmm," and Gu Feibai clapped his hands and turned to look at Chen Lu.

Chen Lu rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but Gu Feibai grabbed her arm. "Go tell my older brother. He'll listen to you."

"Sorry, I can't help you. Who's your older brother? I don't know him." Chen Lu flicked her wrist and pushed him away.

Gu Feibai persisted, "You two had a fight? A quarrel in bed is a quarrel in bed, but a fight in bed is a fight in the morning! With your abilities, you can't even handle that old-fashioned person?"

Chen Lu snorted coldly, "Do you know how much criticism the Gu family will face for doing this? Regardless of who is right or wrong, the Gu family, as the platform provider, will be implicated, and your elder brother will also be questioned by the shareholders' meeting."

"Tsk tsk. You're just feeling sorry for him!" Gu Feibai shook his head. "It's a small matter for him."

Chen Lu practically rolled her eyes to the heavens. She glanced back and asked, "What's their relationship?"

"Ex-husband and ex-wife".

Chen Lu suddenly laughed, but it was unclear what she was thinking. The smile, which was framed by her exquisitely made-up face, seemed forlorn.

Despite being relentlessly pestered by Gu Feibai, Chen Lu finally agreed. She glanced up at Jiang Xin, who was speaking eloquently on stage, and frowned slightly.

Xu Qingcheng's design style has a strong personal touch, and as a designer, this style will become her signature or trademark.

There are countless works of art, but each person has their own unique style and personality, and none of them can be easily imitated.

Jiang Xin's works lack personal characteristics; in other words, they lack spirit. Her previous submissions were good, but they didn't seem to be from the same person. However, since she represented Keith in the competition, and Keith has a supportive team behind her, it's understandable.

this time……

Chen Lu frowned. Some people just like to think they're so clever.

When Fu Jingting came out, he saw that Xu Qingcheng's expression was not good. Her back was very straight, and her beautiful eyes were burning with fire.

"Wait? What are we waiting for?" Lou Xue couldn't contain herself and anxiously paced around in circles.

Upon hearing her words, Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows and walked over. "You should leave first. There are media here. I'll have the driver take you away."

Xu Qingcheng nodded, and Lou Xue went into the venue to get their things.

Fu Jingting walked up to her and asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"

He asked her directly without any doubt. Xu Qingcheng suddenly felt a slight soreness in her nose. Lou Xue believed her, and Brother Yin believed her, and she didn't feel anything special. But when he asked her like that, she felt that all her sharp appearances were about to collapse in front of him.

"No." Xu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, raised her face, and suddenly asked, "Didn't you ever consider the possibility that I really did plagiarize it?"

"There's no 'what if'." Fu Jingting pinched her cheek, a smile in his eyes. "You wouldn't stoop to doing something like that."

"Besides, even if you really wanted to, you wouldn't be discovered so easily," Fu Jingting teased her.

Xu Qingcheng glared at him fiercely. "Do you think I'm cunning and scheming?"

"I like her cunning too." Fu Jingting chuckled, gently pinching her cheek with his fingers.

Xu Qingcheng's face suddenly flushed, and she reached out and slapped him away in slight annoyance.

The woman's palms were damp. Even though she appeared calm on the surface, she was still nervous inside. Fu Jingting reached out and took her hand.

Her face was cold, and her tightly clenched teeth seemed to be chattering. Xu Qingcheng didn't want her anxious side to be discovered.

She forcefully pulled her hand back.

Seeing Lou Xue come out, Xu Qingcheng quickly pulled her along to walk outside.

Online rumors were being spread by certain individuals, and many media outlets at the event received information that Xu Qingcheng's work in the Gu's Jewelry Design Competition was suspected of plagiarizing Keith's "Like a Dream of Youth".

The media outlets conducting the interview were in an uproar, and the topic of the interview was immediately shifted from focusing on the work itself to the issue of plagiarism.

"Ms. Jiang, your 'Dreamlike Youth' themed artwork has been plagiarized. What's your opinion on this?"

"Plagiarism?" Jiang Xin looked stunned, seemingly unaware of the situation. She turned to ask her assistant, who quickly handed her a tablet.

The woman on the stage flipped through the tablet, her expression shifting naturally from surprise to shock. In an incredulous tone, she said, "This is impossible! First of all, all of our designs are original. Every piece by Keith is the result of the designers' painstaking efforts."

"That's for sure. Keith has already started mass production, while the other side is clearly only in the competition stage and the finished product has not yet been released. In terms of the order of production, it's probably plagiarism on their part. How will Keith handle this?"

"Plagiarism carries legal consequences, especially since our product has already been launched. Therefore, our legal department will send a lawyer's letter demanding that the other party remove the design and pursue legal action for any negative impact or losses caused. However, I don't know the specifics yet. Xu Qingcheng is the designer from X Unknown, and she was also present. Instead of asking me, you should ask the parties involved."

With just one sentence, she successfully drew all the media's attention to Xu Qingcheng.

The person who was about to leave suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Lou Xue nervously clung to Xu Qingcheng's arm. "Let's go quickly."

Xu Qingcheng pulled her arm away and patted Lou Xue's arm reassuringly. Leaving in front of everyone now would be tantamount to fleeing in panic.

Since the work is hers, she has no right to let Jiang Xin stand on the stage and smile so comfortably.

Xu Qingcheng smiled faintly. Without waiting for the media to approach, she walked straight to the front of the stage. "Ms. Jiang, are you really sure this is your design?"
