Chapter 631: Freedom Restored
But if you think about it carefully, this is the Xia Xixi he likes, it is precisely because of her kindness and integrity as always, that he will step on it and never get out again.
"Young Sir, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that he stopped his steps thoughtfully, Xia Xixi turned his head curiously, and when he heard this, Young Lord Si suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's a pity, aren't you going to Barlow's pre-draft show?" I'll send you there. ”
"Okay." Hearing him say this, Xia Xixi also nodded.
This time, her inspiration came suddenly, and as the pre-selection time approached, she even stayed in SIX, and finally made her own work completely on the eve of the pre-audition, and now she just needs to wait for the results of the judges.
Coincidentally, this time the pre-selection location for the Barlow show was actually set in the building where the spokesperson was selected last time, but one floor was high and one floor was low.
When Xia Xixi and Si Shaojue arrived at the preselection venue, Xia Xixi saw a familiar figure, and the other party obviously saw the two of them.
When she saw Young Lord Si standing beside Xia Xixi, Bai Yufei's eyes instantly lit up, and she walked over directly and said in an affectionate tone: "Brother Young Jue, Sister Xixi, why did you two come together?" ”
"Today I'm here to participate in the pre-selection for the Barlow show, and the young lord is here with me." Hearing her ask herself, Xia Xixi replied with a smile, she seemed to remember something, and said in a curious tone: "Yufei, why are you here?" ”
"Sister Xi, isn't it a coincidence, Designer Lin will also participate in this pre-selection, I'll follow over and take a look!" Hearing this, Bai Yufei smiled and said, "That's right, I also want to learn more from Designer Lin!" ”
As she spoke, she didn't know what she thought, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes, but immediately after, a smile appeared on her face: "Designer Lin has already gone in just now, so I'm waiting outside now, Sister Xixi, you should be the next batch!" ”
"Yes." Hearing her ask herself, Xia Xixi also nodded, she remembered something, took out an invitation card from her bag and handed it to Bai Yufei and said, "Yufei, since I saw you today, then I will give this to you directly." ”
When she saw Bai Yufei see the invitation card in Xia Xixi's hand, her pupils shrank, and she didn't know why, a strong sense of foreboding surged in her heart, but she still smiled on the surface: "Sister Xixi, what is this?" ”
"This is my wedding invitation to the young man." Hearing her ask herself, Xia Xixi smiled and said: "Yufei, you are the first person to receive the invitation, you must come when the time comes, I am still waiting for you to be my bridesmaid!" ”
Except for the first sentence, Bai Yufei didn't listen to a word of what she said, she only felt that her eardrums were ringing, and her heart was twisted with jealousy.
At this moment, except for wanting to pounce on Xia Xixi fiercely and tear Xia Xixi's whole person into a thousand pieces, she had no other thoughts in her mind at all!
This slut, how can she marry Brother Shaojue, how dare she, Brother Shaojue's bride should be her!
Her brain had gone blank with extreme anger and jealousy, and she gritted her teeth and pressed her fingertips, and the powerful invitation had already made an overwhelming creaking sound.
"Yufei, what's wrong with you?"
The first person to find out that Bai Yufei was wrong was Young Lord Si, and hearing his voice, Bai Yufei in a state of anger seemed to wake up suddenly She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
She only felt that her heart was full of malice and her head was about to explode, but when she raised her head and saw the young lord Si standing in front of her with a concerned expression, she could only grit her teeth and smile: "Brother young lord, I'm fine, maybe I didn't rest well last night, so my head was a little dizzy just now!" ”
"Didn't get a good rest?" Hearing this, Young Lord Si also glanced at Bai Yufei, and found that her face was indeed a little pale, and there was a faint red blood under her eyes, so he didn't doubt it anymore, but nodded and said: "Yufei, your face really doesn't look good, you should take a good rest." ”
Hearing that Young Lord Si was concerned about herself, Bai Yufei was not happy at all, her hands were shaking constantly, and she had no intention of staying anymore when she was going to stand here and watch the next good show.
She didn't know how much strength it took to barely pull out a smile and said, "Brother Young Lord, I think my body is still very uncomfortable, so I'll leave first!" ”
With that, she walked through the corridor with such urgency for the first time, and the Flying Express disappeared into the hallway.
And seeing that Bai Yufei, who was fine just now, suddenly said goodbye and left, Xia Xixi was also a little unclear, so she turned her head to look at Young Lord Si and said, "Yufei's face seems to be really bad, Young Jue, has she been too tired lately?" ”
"Maybe." Hearing this, Young Lord Si also nodded.
Just as the two of them were talking, the pre-selection in front was also lined up by Xia Xixi, seeing the closed door in front of him, Xia Xixi could only temporarily put down the topic, took a deep breath directly, pushed open the door and walked in.
The pre-selected conference room is very large, and I don't know if it is Xia Xixi's illusion, as soon as she walked into the conference room, she felt the eyes of several judges staring at her.
According to common sense, she could have asked the judges to see the design drawings and describe her design concept, but there was silence in the conference room, and Xia Xixi's heart swelled up with some uneasy emotions namelessly, and finally the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the judges' seat broke the silence.
"Miss Xia, I want to ask you, is your design draft plagiarized?"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt slashing down her head, making Xia Xixi's brain blank for a moment, she almost thought that she had heard it wrong, but the middle-aged man in the middle had already continued to ask mercilessly: "Please tell you the truth, we will never accept plagiarized works!" ”
When she heard the other party's question, Xia Xixi's palm was also slightly cold, and she took a deep breath before she spoke: "Judges, I don't know why you came to the conclusion that my work was plagiarized?" ”
Hearing this, the other party immediately sneered, slapped a copy of Xia Xixi's design draft and another design draft on the table, and said: "Miss Xia, if it's not plagiarism, please explain why your design draft has so many similarities with Lin Wanzhou's design draft!" ”
"What did you say?"
When she heard the other party say this, Xia Xixi was also stunned, she directly subconsciously took a step forward, and when she saw the two design drafts on the desktop, her pupils suddenly narrowed slightly.
At first glance, the two designs on the table look like they are no different, but a closer look reveals that the necks are adorned with feather-adorned collars and the skirts are embellished with precious stones.
And the most important thing is the line of small characters on the top of Lin Wanzhou's design manuscript, which is followed by a small arrow, which clearly points to the hem of the skirt.
"Aquamarine......" Xia Xixi said subconsciously.
Nothing surprised her more than all this in front of her, designer plagiarism has always been a taboo that cannot be touched in the design world, the original Su Nuo was accused of plagiarism during school, so in the end he didn't even get a graduation certificate, so Xia Xixi has always paid attention to this aspect of things, but now all this is really happening.
The designer's plagiarism is not only limited to details and appearance, but also a variety of key elements, and it is very coincidental that two key elements in Lin Wanzhou's design draft are completely overlapping with her design draft.
One of the key elements is the feather, and the other is the use of aquamarine, which is relatively common if there are only feathers, but few people use aquamarine in their works, and the superposition of these two elements does make people feel very suspicious.
"Lin Wanzhou handed over the design draft before you, so I have reason to suspect that you plagiarized the other party's design draft, and I heard that you are also a rookie designer recommended by ALEX."
The middle-aged man's eyes looked back and forth on Xia Xixi's body, and only after a while did he snort contemptuously: "You rookie designers, you don't want to study hard all day long, and your mind is full of how to be opportunistic, it's really not as good as a generation!" ”
His words were a little heavy, and the woman in white sitting next to him covered her mouth a little embarrassed and coughed twice, obviously reminding him to pay attention to her words, but the middle-aged man continued unmoved: "So, I have reason to believe that you are plagiarizing!" ”
Seeing that the other party couldn't help but say that it was a big hat buckled on his body, Xia Xixi couldn't help but be a little angry even if he had a good temper.
Even if both design elements of her design draft and Lin Wanzhou's design draft are similar, is it too unfair to directly conclude that she plagiarized Lin Wanzhou's design draft just by relying on these two points of naked eye observation?
At this moment, no matter how sluggish Xia Xixi is, she can feel the malice that the other party exudes towards her, since the other party is so arbitrary, she naturally will not tolerate it.
She sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then stared at the name tag in front of the other party and said, "Judge Li, why do you think I'm plagiarizing just because two design elements are the same?" In addition to these two design elements, the silhouettes, styles, and even colors of the works designed by Designer Lin are completely different, don't you see? ”
What she said was true, although she and Lin Wanzhou both used feathers as the neck decoration of the dress, and the skirt also used aquamarine as the decoration, but the rest of the part was very different.
Even these two works give people a different feeling, Lin Wanzhou's work this time uses a touch of yellow as the main tone, the overall feeling is bright, the skirt is medium and long, while the main color of her own design is white, the skirt is fluffy down the waist, and there is a white ethereal tail like a cloud behind her.
"How should the similarities of these key elements be explained?" Hearing this, Judge Li snorted coldly and said: "Lin Wanzhou is a senior designer, and his design works have won the gold medal of the International Fashion Design Competition when he was seventeen years old, but what about you?" You were still in high school when you were seventeen! ”
His words are clearly biased towards Lin Wanzhou and help Lin Wanzhou speak, although Xia Xixi knows that she is not plagiarizing, but she believes that Lin Wanzhou will never do such a thing as plagiarizing other people's works, she prefers that this incident is just a coincidence.
Thinking of this, she spoke directly and calmly.
