No matter what, Zheng Zhixuan was adamant that Rong Qi was wearing a counterfeit dress.

“Now the situation is getting complicated,” Zheng Zhixuan asserted. “Not only is Rong Qi wearing a knockoff, but she’s also altered another designer’s work, effectively committing copyright infringement. Mr. Ding, perhaps it’s time to contact the legal department of Qiyan Studio.”

Ding Ziqiu weighed in, his tone laced with moral indignation, “The most fundamental ethical principle for a designer is to never plagiarize. Miss Rong, your actions show complete disregard for our studio, Qiyan Studio. Trust me, we won’t let this slide.”

Gu Yuyan stepped in, attempting to defuse the situation. She said, “Mr. Ding, please cool down. I don’t think Miss Rong meant any harm. I’m puzzled too; she’s quite adept at designing herself. Why would she resort to altering another designer’s work? Doesn’t that slap the face of the entire design industry?” “Wait, what? You’re saying Rong Qi can design?” Gu Ziye exclaimed. His eyes widened in disbelief.

Gu Yuyan feigned astonishment and said, “Yes, don’t you all know? Miss Rong is incredibly talented; she used to go by the pen name Camellia. She was quite famous, you know?”

Lastly, Gu Yuyang glanced at Ye Nanshen and inquired, “Even you weren’t aware?”

Ye Nanshen shook his head and simply said, “It doesn’t matter who she is; I support her in all she does.”

Gu Yuyan clenched her fist discreetly, sending a significant glance to Ding Ziqiu.

Ding Ziqiu’s voice grew louder, “Indeed, Camellia rose to prominence two years ago! I never expected Miss Rong to harbor such a background. If we had thought your infringement was due to a lack of knowledge in design, we might have forgiven you. But now that we know you are a designer, are your actions deliberate?”

The room was filled with industry heavyweights, and his impassioned words struck a chord.

“That’s outrageous! She shows no respect for our industry!”

“That’s right!”

Gu Yuyang looked at the angered crowd and hid a triumphant smile. She thought, ‘How could Camellia compare? The only leading female designer in the public eye should be me, Gu Yuyan.’

Gu Yuyan’s expression turned to one of concern. She said, “Let’s all calm down; Miss Rong will provide a reasonable explanation. I don’t believe she did this intentionally.”

“How could it not be intentional? If she’s a well-known designer, doesn’t she know how to respect originality? I think she did it on purpose. After hiding away for two years, she’d probably plagiarize others’ work to rebrand herself!” retorted an indignant member of Qiyan Studio. “Sorry, we will definitely pursue this copyright infringement issue to the end.”

Gu Yuyan couldn’t conceal her glee anymore. She thought, ‘Please do so. It would be wonderful if that could make Rong Qi’s reputation tarnish and never come back.’

However, throughout all the heated debates, Rong Qi remained utterly serene.

“Miss Rong, why aren’t you speaking?” Ding Ziqiu asked.

“I was waiting for you to finish,” Rong Qi said. Her words elicited a hush from the crowd.

Facing the team from Qiyan Studio, she said with an icy tone, “Instead of accusing me of altering a design here, why don’t you make a call and ask your boss at Qiyan Studio what the anti-counterfeit mark on the garments is? You’re employees of Qiyan Studio, yet you don’t even recognize your own products. It makes me wonder if your boss hired a bunch of incompetents.”

Rong Qi’s words were laced with derision, leaving the members of Qiyan Studio red in the face..
