Chapter 194: Plagiarism
It's so busy, the jewelry design competition in November is almost here. Jialan has worked hard and spent a lot of energy for this national competition. She's also under a lot of pressure right now. Because of the aura of a rising star in jewelry design, if she didn't have an outstanding performance in the competition, then she wouldn't have to mix in the design world. So sometimes the price of fame is like this, it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact it is a lot of pressure.
In addition to completing the company's work every day, she squeezes out some time to think about concepts and patterns for the situation. Now I know that there is one thing, if you force it in front of you, get through it for a few days, and hand in the design drawings. But once the process is lengthened, people are fully prepared to participate in the competition, that is, this painful process is extended, you keep thinking about the conceptual theme, keep denying and overthrowing, keep thinking about the pattern that suits the situation, and then find that people have used it in previous years, and then overturn it.
Therefore, this competition design alone consumes much more effort than the company's quarterly design. It's terrible. Three days before the deadline, Jialan finally finished the drawings, went to Ritter to take a look, and then sent them to the organizing committee of the competition, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. I can finally take a break for a while.
At this time, she secretly hid in Jason's penthouse suite, cooking for Jason, who was busy. Recently, the two of them have gotten together whenever they have the opportunity, but although both of them have made it clear and understood each other's feelings, because the matter between Jason and Jia Qian has not been resolved, the two are still secretly and secretly dating.
Jia Lan sometimes thinks that she is like Jason's underground lover, and she feels very sad when she thinks about it, and she can't be honest and proudly tell the whole world, so she can only sneak around. But since this is your own choice, let's go ahead. The key is Jason, if he is affectionate, she is there, if he is ruthless, she will leave. She completely saw that there are many one-night lovers and weekend couples in this world, and they are at least happy with each other, which is enough.
The two of them didn't go out on a date, but Jason found the opportunity and called her up. It's usually noon, hide in Jason's private suite, cook and eat together, and enjoy a peaceful lunchtime. There's no way around it. Jia Lan was humming a song and making a sweet and sour loin this day, when her mobile phone suddenly rang. She was just ready to get out of the pot, so she turned off the heat, washed her hands and dried them before picking up the phone.
"Hey, hello." Jia Lan said softly.
"Hello, are you Miss Su Jialan?" The other party said in a polite voice, and Jia Lan hurriedly said yes.
"There's something we'd like to inform you. The entry you sent three days ago, "White Clouds and Fish", someone sent the same entry the day before. The name, concept idea, and graphic design of the work are all roughly the same. The organizing committee originally wanted to do plagiarism, but seeing that you were recommended by Ruiter, they wanted to give you a chance. Let you explain the origin of your work. The other party said these words in a statement tone.
But when Jia Lan heard it, the world spun around. What the hell is going on, she spent a whole month designing it, how can it be plagiarism from someone else. Before the design, she had obviously rummaged through well-known jewelry, and no one had such a design, but now she actually told her that she was plagiarizing. What the hell is going on. She suddenly fell into a dejected position on the bench.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, but I promise I didn't copy others." Jia Lan explained sincerely. But after thinking about it a little, the other party has already determined that she is plagiarizing, and it is useless to explain. She also felt that her words were very weak, everyone had characterized her, and no matter how much she used to explain with saliva, it was useless.
So seeing that the other party didn't speak, Jialan also knew that the Daoist people didn't believe her words, so she had to continue, "Otherwise, you give me a day, I'll find out what happened, and as for what your organizing committee wants to do with me, please also give me the right to know." Jia Lan said bitterly.
She never expected such a thing to happen, and it confused her. I don't know how to react at all, but fortunately, she is still sober after the last, and she maintains her right to know first. And she also wanted to find out what was going on, but the organizing committee was far away in Tiancheng, and she suddenly had nothing to do now. The blow was too big for her to react to. The other party looked at Jialan's attitude well, and hung up the phone after agreeing, of course, this must be for the sake of Ruiter's face.
She was alone on the bench until Jason came back and patted her on the shoulder, and she came to her senses. "What's wrong? Did something happen? ”
"I didn't ...... It's fine. Jialan turned her head to look at Jason and said, her eyes still a little confused.
"It's all like this, and I still say it's okay. Tell me, what the hell is going on? Jason said, looking into Jialan's eyes.
"Just now, someone from the organizing committee of the competition called and said that my work was plagiarized by someone else." Jia Lan had no choice but to tell the truth.
"How could this happen? What the hell did he say, you tell me. Of course, Jason didn't believe that Jia Lan was plagiarized, and he saw how much effort she put into this design. A large stack of scratch paper is used for the design alone, how can it be plagiarized by others. And how could he do such a thing with Jialan's quality, he would never believe it.
"Do you believe me? I didn't plagiarize someone else's. "Garland was desperate for support from Jason.
"I believe, of course I believe, you have been working hard for this design all these days, and I laugh at you for putting more effort into this design than for the company's jewelry conference." Jason put affirmation in his mouth, which made Jialan's heart settle down a lot. "Tell me, what the hell did he say?"
Garlan told Jason what he had heard. Jason propped his chin on his hand and pondered. "In this case, the work will be sent to the organizing committee before your work. Did you ask which designer designed it? How are the conceptual themes similar? Jason asked.
"No, I was stunned by him saying that I plagiarized, and I didn't want to ask about it at all." Jia Lan said frankly.
"Why don't you ask Ritter, he's a member of the organizing committee, he can definitely ask something, by the way, how did your design get around." Jason frowned and said, "Why don't we eat first, and after eating, you go to Ritter and ask about the specifics of the matter." ”
When something like this happens, how could Jia Lan have an appetite. Fortunately, she made two dishes before the phone came, although Jason kept serving the dishes to Jialan during the meal, but she really didn't know the taste. But Jason was forced to eat a bowl of rice before letting her go.
"Then I'll go downstairs first." Jialan said goodbye.
"Well, do you want me to call you and explain?" Jason nodded and asked, he was also considerate, thinking about helping her solve the problem.
"No need, I'll figure it out by myself for my own business. You don't get involved. Jialan excused herself. The problems that she can solve by herself will definitely not rely on others.
"Alright then, do it, I trust you. Don't panic, everything will fall into place. Jason said behind her back. Although Jialan didn't let him help, how could he be obedient, this matter is obviously someone who is specially fighting for Jialan, otherwise no one else has anything to do, why did she plagiarize. Naturally, he had to investigate this matter secretly.
Sure enough, when Jialan came down to look for Ritter, Ritter was already waiting for her. He also just got the news, and it was also a surprise that Dao Jialan was convicted of plagiarism. Jialan's design, he has followed up from beginning to end, and naturally knows that Jialan designed it himself, how can it become plagiarism. He didn't understand either. He wanted to call Jialan just now to ask about the situation, and Jialan came.
"Something happened, your work was judged plagiarized by the organizing committee." As soon as Ritter saw Jialan, he told her about the situation.
"I know, I just got a call." Jia Lan said that she knew, but she was still at a loss, and would only confess to herself, "Director Ruiter, I didn't plagiarize." ”
"I know that you didn't plagiarize, this design of yours was formed by looking at it. Have you plagiarized, how can I not know the way? Naturally, Ritter supported her and said firmly.
"But for what?" Jia Lan still doesn't understand what this plagiarism is all about.
"I just asked, and they said that the other work was anonymous, but there was also an application at the beginning. It arrives one day earlier than your work, and when the organizing committee is due to select the work, it comes in chronological order. When they saw that work, they were very excited, and everyone discussed it for a long time, and they all thought it was very novel and creative. So when I see your work, I think you're plagiarizing the previous design. Because although works on the same theme will inevitably be somewhat similar, the resemblance of originals like this is plagiarism. ”
Ritter paused suddenly, and then continued, "I asked for the name of the design of the work, it is called "The Love of Clouds and Fish", and you even have almost the same name. They can't help but suspect that you intentionally copied the first design. I'm now wondering who stole your design and sent it to the competition, and he was clearly targeting you. I want you to be charged with plagiarism and ruined. I don't know who has such a big hatred for you? ”
Jia Lan sat dejectedly, she really couldn't think of what went wrong. In fact, every employee of the company has a security password on the computer, because the design department is a department that needs to be kept confidential. For design, when Jialan first joined the company, the manager said ugly things in front. They should take a firm look at their own designs, don't be careless, don't leak easily, because in the design industry, there are likely to be design battles, copyright disputes, if they accidentally leak their designs, then what to say plagiarism, originality, how to say clearly.
