172: Making False Counter-charges 172: Making False Counter-charges Editor: Atlas Studios Hearing Gu Mang’s words, Zhou Xintang’s pupils constricted as she stared at Gu Mang.
Did she really have evidence?
Her heart could not help but thump wildly.
Gu Mang’s clean finger tapped on the handrail as she spoke nonchalantly, “Lan Ting’s new collection features the ‘Twelve Legends of Vientiane’ series.
The reason the press conference for the collection’s release has been delayed for so long is because the design for the last piece that represents the three stars isn’t completed yet.
The piece right before your eyes is the flawed design of the last ‘Vientiane Three Stars.’” The twelve ornaments were the sun, moon, three stars, sacred mountains, dragon, pheasant, two cups, algae, fire, grains, axe, and figure.
Although the three stars’ concept was simple, it was significantly more challenging than the others when it came to coming up with a stunning design.
Gu Mang had rejected several versions of the design in the past.
Tao Jing knew that Gu Mang did as she pleased.
She would throw things away that she disliked regardless of how great they were.
Upon hearing her words, everyone looked at Gu Mang with complicated looks.
Gu Mang considered a near-perfect piece like this flawed?
Wait a minute, did that mean that she was the secretive designer of Lan Ting?
Everyone’s minds went blank for a second and quickly rejected that thought.
That was impossible!
Lan Ting was founded recently but developed exceptionally fast.
Its high-end products were sought after by both celebrities within and outside the country.
It was the fastest-growing fashion brand in the country with its own unique style.
And Gu Mang was still so young!
Lan Ting’s new product news conference kept getting postponed and the fans were all pressing for it to take place.
Anybody who followed fashion trends knew about it.
Did Gu Mang think she could pass off as Lan Ting’s designer by knowing this?
The chance of Lan Ting’s designer being a seventeen-year-old student was zero!
Qi Songyan sneered.
“Gu Mang, based on your words, Xintang stole your work and you’re the mysterious designer of Lan Ting?” Gu Mang smiled sinisterly and remained silent.
Her exquisite eyebrows were brash and prideful.
In the first row of the audience there were only Lu Chengzhou, Gu Mang, and Lu Shangjin.
Gu Mang sat in the middle but her aura was so strong that it nearly overpowered Lu Chengzhou.
His thin lips curled upwards slightly.
Lan Ting’s designer?
His dark eyes narrowed.
Lu Shangjin’s feelings were so complex that they were difficult to describe.
Why was the big boss keeping such a low profile?
Dumbfounded, Jiang Shenyuan looked at Gu Mang who was sitting like a big boss with her legs crossed.
Gu Mang… Someone who was unable to take Gu Mang’s claims shouted, “Gu Mang, you do not know the status of that designer!
How dare you try to pass yourself off as him?” The patience of the female leader from Experimental High School seemed to be running low.
She furrowed her eyebrows and appeared serious.
“Since Lan Ting’s design drafts haven’t been officially introduced and Zhou Xintang’s piece was completed first, there is no evidence to show that this draft was prepared for Lan Ting.” Qi Songyan nodded.
“Who will believe your words by saying that this is Lan Ting’s draft?
You called yourself Lan Ting’s designer and there are so many media workers here.
I don’t believe that the people from Lan Ting’s people haven’t heard about it.
It’s been so long so why hasn’t Lan Ting responded on Weibo?
Does Lan Ting not recognize their own designs?” Lan Ting’s designer was also the brand’s founder.
It was rumored that even the CEO, Ji Heng, needed to be polite to her.
If Gu Mang was truly Lan Ting’s designer, why would the firm not send someone here?
Another school leader spoke.
“Since Gu Mang mentioned that this was the original draft of the last of the twelve new products, get her to present the other eleven drafts.
We can compare them to know if she’s lying.”
