Chapter 400 - Who Exactly Is the Plagiarizer? (5)
Si Zhengting fell silent, his gaze unconsciously resting on Zhuang Nainai.
She lowered her head, unsure of what to say. Yet, even without her saying anything, the pressure and unjust treatment she had been through the past few days flashed through his mind.
So… what sort of truth was he waiting for?
Even if she was lying to him, was he truly able to forsake her and allow her to leave him for Mother Zhuang, who was overseas?
At the thought of this, Si Zhengting hardened his resolve. Narrowing his eyes, he abruptly grabbed Zhuang Nainai by the wrist and swung his gaze toward the reporter. “When did I say that Zhuang Nainai was the one who plagiarized TZ?”
That stunned everyone!
Si Zhengting said slowly, “The design drafts belong to Zhuang Nainai. In order to prove her capabilities to me so that I would transfer her over to the fashion design department, she passed these design drafts to me. But I didn’t realize her talents in time, and so she sent them over to the Gus. When I saw the design drafts, I passed them on to TZ for amendments without asking for her approval. So, it’s all just a misunderstanding.”
Misunderstanding?
The masses stared at him in disbelief.
So, everything they had been waiting for came down to this… a “misunderstanding”?
Standing in the crowd, Mi Nuo narrowed her eyes. She never expected Mr. Si to resort to such methods to protect that b*tch! But… the reporters weren’t idiots either!
The reporter gave a cold smile. “Mr. Si, even if you wanted to protect Ms. Zhuang, you shouldn’t use such a poor lie like this. She’s not even a fashion design graduate, and you’re telling me that TZ bothered herself with her work? Do you think we’re so easily fooled?”
Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes, then called out, “Ji Chen!” as if he had already predicted a situation like this.
Ji Chen walked over to the projector hurriedly. Upon inserting a USB flash drive into the system, six sets of clothing designs came up on the massive projector screens. The designs were hurriedly sketched without much attention to embellishments and specific details, but any fashion designer would have been able to tell that there was something special about them — they had a unique life and charm of their own!
Si Zhengting pulled Zhuang Nainai by the hand and brought her up onto the stage. Pointing at the design drafts, he said, “These design drafts were done by Ms. Zhuang Nainai in two days. Even though she is not a fashion designer by training, her natural talent is evident.”
Standing on the stage, he composed himself. In front of all the employees of the Imperial Group, in front of all the reporters and guests, he announced, “So, I shall formally announce that, effective immediately, Ms. Zhuang Nainai will be appointed as the vice-head of the fashion design department. Since TZ is not around at the moment, Ms. Zhuang Nainai will be fully in charge of everything in the department!”
As he finished saying this, the whole venue fell silent!
She, a person who finished her university education a mere year ago, was to become the vice-head of the fashion design department of the Imperial Group?!
Everyone in the Imperial Group had their eyes wide open. Zhuang Nainai was being promoted at an even faster rate than Mi Nuo!
Even Mi Nuo, who was standing in the crowd, had not expected that Mr. Si would decide to forsake his reputation for Zhuang Nainai!
Also, even though she was the overall director of the design department and TZ was the head of the fashion design department, she was usually still the one handling matters in the fashion design department. That meant… Mr. Si was now taking away her power?!
