Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 155 - 153 Little Kitten Finally Couldn’t Stand It Anymore
Among the sounds of admiration from the other parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ye’s faces bloomed with proud smiles.
Mrs. Ye spoke with pride that touched the sky, "Oh my... don’t compliment my Shiman too much. However, not to brag, but Shiman has never lost since she was young. She has always been the class president and study committee member. Winning a competition is nothing extraordinary for her."
...
Amidst the chorus of praise from below the stage, Jiayi and Su Yan walked to the backstage lounge.
In the quiet lounge, there was only Ye Shiman.
At that moment, she was reclining on a comfortable, cushy chair with a relaxed smile on her small face, as if she was already foreseeing the glory of receiving the award in front of the entire school soon!
Noticing the two of them entering, Ye Shiman’s expression changed, and she attempted to leave.
Jiayi looked at her and began, "Feeling guilty after stealing my work?"
Ye Shiman’s eyes went round with shock as she stepped forward, puffing out her chest, "What are you talking about? Who stole your work? Do you have proof? If you have evidence, then show it! Even Mr. Liu and the security captain said the other day, ’don’t make baseless accusations without proof! Be careful, or I’ll sue you for defamation!’"
Jiayi looked at her coldly, "You know very well whether you’ve done it or not. If you can’t handle losing, you shouldn’t compete. It’s a shame how you pretend to be so high-achieving, but you’re capable of something as low as this. Using someone else’s hard work as your own, you’re even more disgusting than a thief."
Ye Shiman, who had never been called a thief before, became furious, raising her arm to strike at Jiayi’s face.
Jiayi had already caught her wrist, and with her other hand quickly raised, gave a "smack" on Ye Shiman’s face!
Ye Shiman stumbled backward from the slap, incredulously covering her cheek, then lunged forward like a madwoman, "Good for you, hitting me—No one has ever hit me, what gives you the right—"
Su Yan sneered, "Ye Shiman, what now? You wanted to hit someone? Go ahead, make a scene now! It would be best if everyone from outside came in, so they could all know about this!"
Ye Shiman’s claw-like hands went limp in an instant. Although the two of them had no evidence that it was she who had stolen the work, making a big deal out of it wouldn’t be good for her either.
She suppressed her anger, smirked, and said, "So what if you slapped me? I’m going to win this award. Just go and die of anger, haha."
With that, she turned and left.
After the rest period, the second round of judging began, and several students who had been selected in the preliminary phase started to present their design concepts.
Ye Shiman stood on the stage, gave a bow, and looked just like the most perfect daughter in her parents’ hearts and the most exemplary student in the teachers’ eyes. At that moment, she sweetly introduced her design on the screen to the audience:
"...When I designed ’The Realm of Wonder’, I wanted to create a concept of ’returning to nature’, which is why I used the desert-symbolizing beige and the sea-representing light blue..."
Su Yan clenched her fist uncontrollably and muttered under her breath, "She really acts like ’The Realm of Wonder’ is hers, talking about it so confidently."
Out of nowhere, Jiayi’s lips twitched slightly as she raised her voice and asked, "May I ask if Ye Shiman really understands the true meaning of ’The Realm of Wonder’."
The crisp female voice broke the silence of the whole venue.
All eyes focused on the source of the voice.
From outside the hall, at the entrance, Huo Zhenyang quietly watched the girl on the stage, his lips curving into a slight smile. Little Kitten had finally lost her patience.
Ye Shiman, interrupted by Jiayi, blushed slightly.
Kevin frowned, "Ye Shiman is discussing her own design concept. Please do not interrupt, and as this is Ye Shiman’s own work, of course she knows its true meaning."
Jiayi chuckled softly, lifting her chin slightly, her eyes clear and bright as she continued:
"No, the design concept of the residence is not to make people ’return to nature’, but quite the opposite. It intends to bring nature into the lives of modern urban people. The yellow tones of the desert represent the spiritual desert within the city, while the blue tones of the azure sea symbolize the nourishment of civilization. The integration of nature and modernity is the true message this design wants to convey!"
The whole room fell silent for a few seconds.
It had to be said, the concept of bringing nature into the lives of modern urban people was far more novel than Ye Shiman’s "return to nature"!
And the philosophy and concept behind this bedroom design did indeed seem much closer to what the girl behind had described!
A little way off, the man’s lips tightened slightly, his gaze flickering with interest as he looked toward the young one.
It seemed that this little creature indeed had talent, and had genuinely applied herself at Jin University over the past few months.
In the panel of judges, a famous Finnish female designer of foreign descent stood up, surprised, "Oh, why can you understand the meaning of the design better than its original creator?"
Jiayi stepped out of her seat, bowed slightly to the main judges, then spoke confidently and smoothly:
"Because I am the original creator of this residence design."
The Finnish designer gasped softly, "Oh, my God, are you saying that Miss Ye Shiman plagiarized your work?"
In the creative industry, plagiarism is the most despised act.
Any designer proven to have plagiarized would immediately be scorned by peers, and could even have their license revoked, never to reenter the industry in their lifetime!
Plagiarism? Saying plagiarism was to elevate Ye Shiman!
Jiayi pointed her slender arm at Ye Shiman, accusing her mercilessly, "She didn’t just plagiarize, she outright stole my design!"
A gasp of shock rose throughout the venue.
Su Yan had thought Jiayi was a pushover who would just swallow her grievances, but it turns out she wanted to expose Ye Shiman in front of everyone. Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, yet she started to worry. Without proof, could Ye Shiman turn the tables on Jiayi?
Indeed, Ye Shiman’s eyes reddened and she started crying innocently, "Qin student, I know you’ve always disliked me, and I know you’re not very satisfied with your own work, afraid of not winning an award. But how could you wrongly accuse me like this!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Ye Shiman’s parents in the audience couldn’t believe it either, thinking that Jiayi was framing their precious daughter, and they began to shout:
"Nonsense! How could my baby Shiman do such a thing? Get that girl out of here~! She’s just jealous of my Shiman’s success!"
Kevin’s tone was also extremely displeased, "This... Qin student, is it? I don’t know what grievance you have with Ye Shiman, but please don’t make baseless accusations! Otherwise, I can represent the judging panel and disqualify you from the competition!"
Heh, disqualify the little one’s eligibility to compete?
At the door, Huo Zhenyang’s dark eyebrows knitted together in an instant.
Had anyone asked for his opinion?
Before disqualifying Jiayi, first strip this Kevin of his designer credentials!
Lin Zixun could tell what Boss meant just by looking at his expression, and said in a low voice, "Boss, after this is over, I’ll contact the head of Yaowen Design Building to deal with Kevin."
Huo Zhenyang grunted in approval, expressing a somewhat satisfied attitude, then glanced again at the intense confrontation on the stage, "Are you ready?"
