Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1514 - 1503: Avenging My Sister

When Jian Lifan and his assistant came to pick up Ye Qiu, she was squatting by the roadside, blankly watching the passing vehicles and pedestrians, looking utterly at a loss.

"Ye Qiu," Jian Lifan sighed slightly, "Have you eaten anything?"

Ye Qiu shook her head, "No."

"Then come back to the company with me first." He said, opening the car door to invite her in, then told the assistant, "Order some takeout now."

The assistant asked Ye Qiu, "Do you eat spicy food?"

"Yes."

"Then I’ll order two Hunan dishes for you."

The assistant was now full of curiosity, not knowing why his boss rushed out to pick someone up after a phone call, and it was a girl who seemed to still be in school. But as a subordinate, he knew when to keep his mouth shut, even though he perked up his ears.

"You said on the phone that besides the series I modified, the one that previously won a gold award was also your creation?" Jian Lifan asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, and not just these two. In total, I’ve given her four series, at least fifty design drafts. Now she denies it and even fabricated evidence to prove I’m lying, resulting in the school punishing me." Ye Qiu looked at Jian Lifan, extremely frustrated and angry, "Teacher Jiang, I really didn’t expect Senior Zhihua to be such a person."

Li Zhihua? The assistant’s ears twitched; does this mean that Li Zhihua’s award-winning design drafts were all plagiarized? With such a big stir online, the truth turned out to be the opposite?

Wow, what a shocking scandal in the fashion design field. He thought Li Zhihua was a genius girl, but turned out to be so malicious in private.

Actually, it’s not surprising the assistant quickly sided with them; he might not believe others, but he trusted his boss. Considering his boss’s status, there was no reason to lie. His boss said the design drafts were modified by him, so why didn’t Li Zhihua mention a word? Who’d believe there’s nothing fishy here?

"Do you have any drafts?" Jian Lifan asked again.

"No." Ye Qiu shook her head disheartenedly, "At the beginning of the school year, when Senior Zhihua saw the cocktail dress I designed, she praised my talent and said she couldn’t bear to see it wasted. So she enthusiastically invited me to design in her studio, as it had a good environment and various new materials. So, almost all my works were created there."

Even Jian Lifan and the assistant felt Ye Qiu was too naive, "You just trusted her that much?"

"Senior Zhihua was very good to me at first. When my mother was sick and needed money, she actively contacted brand merchants to help sell my works, saying she’d help me apply for competitions so I could focus on creating. Even our encounter with you in Yunnan was because Senior Zhihua took me there for a field trip." Ye Qiu narrated incident by incident, making Jian Lifan and the assistant gasp.

Ye Qiu continued, "But I never expected that this would become a reason for Senior Zhihua to counter me. She said, how could a freshman possibly create two different styles in such a short time? She accused me of being ungrateful, called me arrogant and vain. Teacher Jiang, how can a person change so quickly?"

The assistant couldn’t help but say, "Didn’t you suspect when she said she’d enter you into competitions but you never placed?"

"No," Ye Qiu sincerely shook her head, "I thought I’d only been in this industry for half a year, so not gaining the judges’ recognition was normal. I truly never expected she never even helped me register, and would hide my works to pretend they’re hers!"

Jian Lifan sighed, "You’re still young; not understanding people’s minds is quite normal. But having learned this lesson, you should be more cautious in whatever you do next time."

"Next time?" Ye Qiu gave a wry smile, "Now everyone at school knows I falsely accused Senior Zhihua. It’s even all over the internet. I’m too ashamed to return to school; everyone looks at me with disdain."

Jian Lifan frowned at her, "Do you really want to give up with such great talent?"

"But who will believe me now? Who will use my designs? Teacher Jiang, I’m scared; I really don’t know what to do next." Ye Qiu anxiously said, internally apologizing to Jian Lifan. After this matter ends, she will seriously explain everything to the teacher who values her so much.

She knew she shouldn’t exploit Teacher Jiang’s sympathy, but proving Li Zhihua was the real plagiarist through Teacher Jiang was the most convenient and convincing way.

"Have you forgotten who you’re sitting next to? As a leading figure in the design field, how could our Teacher Jiang possibly ignore your injustice? Besides, it’s to maintain the integrity of our design circle." The assistant couldn’t help but encourage Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu said with wide eyes, "But even if Teacher Jiang speaks for me, we have no evidence. What if it implicates Teacher Jiang? I see many TV dramas depicting prominent figures getting falsely accused of nepotism, negatively impacting their reputation."

The assistant chuckled, "That’s just TV dramas; reality is different. Also, with Teacher Jiang’s status in the domestic fashion industry, does he still need to play such games? As long as Teacher Jiang vouches for you, no matter true or false, others have to weigh it more carefully."

"Stop talking nonsense." Jian Lifan scolded him, then addressed Ye Qiu, "I watched you create that work. If I can’t even prove that for you, what’s my place in this circle? But to fully prove you’re not lying, that depends on you."

"Me?" Ye Qiu asked, her mouth agape, "Senior Zhihua must have destroyed all the originals. How can I prove it?"

"With your talent." Jian Lifan gazed at her intensely, "Your talent is something no one can take away from you. Show through your works that you are stronger than Li Zhihua."

Ye Qiu, like her confidence had been reignited, asked earnestly, "What should I do then?"

"Do you have the confidence to design an excellent collection again?"

"Yes." Ye Qiu nodded.

"Alright, I’ll give you three days to design it, then I’ll submit this work to the competition Li Zhihua is participating in, so you can prove your strength with the ranking."

The assistant drew a sharp breath and said in shock, "Teacher Jiang, just three days, wouldn’t that be too much pressure on Ye Qiu? The timeline is very tight."

"You can do it, can’t you?" Jian Lifan simply asked Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu nodded vigorously, "I can, but Teacher Jiang, hasn’t the registration for that competition closed?"

Jian Lifan chuckled lightly, "I’ve reached a level where I have certain privileges; you don’t need to worry about that."
