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

Jiang Xin hadn't expected Xu Qingcheng to dare question her to her face. But once Kaisi launched its products to the market, they had naturally made full preparations to prevent any potential problems.

Furthermore, when it comes to design, it's difficult to have a clear distinction between plagiarism, imitation, and reference, unless you've actually copied a very large area.

As long as sufficient distortion is made, it becomes a matter of both sides having their own reasons, and even if it is taken to the legal system, it is difficult to get a clear and unambiguous judgment.

Moreover, Case also had the advantage of timing, gaining the advantage of being the first to launch its product to the market.

Jiang Xin initially had no intention of taking over Xu Qingcheng's design drafts. She just didn't want Xu Qingcheng to have an easy time. She was hoping that the craftsman would say that the work couldn't be completed, so as to create some difficulties for Xu Qingcheng.

But who knew, I fell in love with it after seeing it.

Jiang Xin herself is a designer, so she can naturally distinguish between good and bad designs. She is even very clear about the sensation this design will cause when it is launched to the market.

Just look at the scene now; as soon as the product was launched, many people inquired about the price and were ready to place an order.

But in reality, this design has undergone enough transformations that even if the original idea was hers, who can prove it?

Furthermore, new creative ideas and concepts have been incorporated, so this version is no longer Xu Qingcheng's design draft; it is now Keith's.

Upon thinking this, Jiang Xin immediately became more confident. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Xu Qingcheng, "How can I not be sure? This is not just my work. It is the result of the entire Kess Design Department. We worked together to complete the design and production of the entire set of works. The process was so complex that it was adjusted many times before it was finally completed."

"Yeah?"

Xu Qingcheng suddenly sneered. She stared at the entire jewelry collection projected on the LED screen behind Jiang Xin. The artistic conception of the photos was indeed quite good. She walked over and pointed to one of the most intricately designed pendants, with a unique arrangement of gemstones. "Ms. Jiang, you just explained the meaning of each piece of jewelry, very glamorous. But it's all show and no substance, it doesn't get to the heart of the matter. May I ask you, what does this design represent?"

Jiang Xin rolled her eyes; she had already prepared this kind of interpretive material.

"The vertical shape is designed to highlight the lines and make the arrangement of the gemstones more creative."

Xu Qingcheng nodded. "Is there any connection between the pieces in your entire jewelry set?"

"The styles are naturally connected." Jiang Xin looked at Xu Qingcheng's gaze and suddenly felt guilty. She glanced at the ornaments on the big screen but didn't see anything special about them.

It's also possible that she has already made enough changes, disrupting Xu Qingcheng's original connection, so... this is better.

No one can accuse her of plagiarism; even if she did plagiarize, it was Xu Qingcheng who plagiarized her.

Xu Qingcheng withdrew her hand. "This necklace and earrings together form a letter. Jiang Xin, no matter how many variations you make, you haven't removed the core part of my design."

The audience below the stage buzzed with discussion, asking, "What letter is that?"

"I don't see it coming. The design is so complex, how could it possibly be a letter shape?"

"That's nonsense."

"They're definitely making excuses."

The cheers from the audience made Jiang Xin stand up straight, looking disdainful. "Don't try to scare me. Xu Qingcheng plagiarized, that's plagiarism. I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already turning around and accusing me."

Some media outlets also complained impatiently, saying, "If you have evidence, just show it. Stop beating around the bush."

"The actual object is here, why don't we just put it together?" Fu Jingting suddenly spoke up.

Keith's event this time was still quite high-profile, as the high-priced invitations were made to people from high-end circles. However, it was still a level below Fu Jingting and Gu Feibai's circle. Fu Jingting didn't recognize many of the people present, but that didn't mean they didn't know him.

Gu Feibai also came over to watch the commotion, tapping the shoulder of the staff member next to him, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? Bring out a set and let's see."

Jiang Xin looked at Gu Feibai and Fu Jingting, gritted her teeth, and said, "Ours are all finished products, while hers is still in the competition stage. Xu Qingcheng has undoubtedly plagiarized. Now she's trying to use my work to argue her point. It's ridiculous. Does she think she can just say whatever she wants? On what basis?"

"Oh, Miss Jiang, true gold fears no fire. You're already panicking before the test even begins." Gu Feibai casually rested his arm on the jewelry display case, looking at Jiang Xin with a mocking expression. "Why don't you just admit to plagiarism and save this farce? These media guys and girls must be exhausted from holding up their long lenses, right?!"

He smiled and asked, "Right?" raising his voice as he looked around at the people.

Without waiting for a response from the crowd, Gu Feibai straightened up, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "The jewelry design competition held by Gu Youzhenpin this year is one of Gu's important events, and the entire senior management attaches great importance to it. The goal is to promote the design standards of Ancheng's jewelry industry. It is indeed disheartening that a suspected plagiarism incident occurred during the competition on our platform. Gu's also has an obligation to make a judgment from a neutral, fair, and impartial perspective and give the public an answer. Since the parties involved are all present, is it inappropriate for them to just watch and compete?"

His explanation was so serious and logical that Chen Lu glanced at Gu Feibai again, thinking, "Wow, it actually sounds quite plausible."

Young Master Gu thought to himself, "Isn't it because there's a god suppressing us here? I'm not saying anything, but he's the one who has to come out and show off."

Fu Jingting waited for Gu Feibai to finish speaking, but seeing that Keith's people didn't make any move, he impatiently tapped the glass countertop in front of him, his voice turning three degrees colder, "Are you going to make me kick it open if you don't take it out?"

Under pressure, Keith had someone open the cabinet.

Jiang Xin's expression was grim. She hadn't noticed any letter pattern and couldn't help but stop her, "We can try to spell it. Tell me, what letters are they?"

Xu Qingcheng pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment.

Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Qingcheng, waiting for her.

In those brief few seconds, Jiang Xin gained the upper hand. She snorted, "What, can't say anything now? Always trying to be mysterious."

"Holy shit." Gu Feibai muttered under his breath, then leaned closer to Fu Jingting and whispered, "Could Xu Qingcheng be faking it...? Did she give herself away after all that?"

Fu Jingting frowned slightly. He looked up at Xu Qingcheng, only to meet her gaze.

The man was slightly taken aback, and before he could react, the woman suddenly looked away.

Xu Qingcheng bit her lip, her eyelashes drooping, and said somewhat reluctantly, "F."
