Chapter 410: Pushing The Mist Away
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After thinking about it, the Year Head decided to put the two design drafts together for review again.
Actually, these two design drafts were different. There was still a huge difference.
For example, Gao Wen’s design draft would have more of her usual habits. She liked to add a special symbol on the pendants of her designs.
Su Tang’s design draft did not have these small habits, but the design of the pendant was completely different from Gao Wen’s. From an objective point of view, Su Tang’s unique small design in the details was actually more in line with the overall style of the clothes.
This made the teachers completely troubled.
Both of them had original evidence, so it was really difficult to tell who was the plagiarist.
However, what Gao Wen cared about the most now was no longer whether Su Tang had plagiarized her. She was conflicted about the design blueprint that she had glimpsed in Su Tang’s folder.
If she was not wrong, wasn’t the final ready-made dress that she had seen on Shi Man?
If that was the case, the person who plagiarized might be…
She bit her lower lip and closed her eyes in humiliation. She said seriously, “Su Tang, show me your design folder. If you let me see it, 1’11 convince the teacher to agree to your participation in this design competition.”
The Year Head widened his eyes in disbelief and called out softly, “Wenwen.”
However, Gao Wen was determined. Seeing the hesitation in Su Tang’s eyes, she frowned impatiently and said, “What are you still conflicted about? Don’t you want to participate in this design competition? You don���t have much time left. If you don’t want to participate, there’s no need for me to waste time with you!”
Su Tang stole a glance at Shi Man and did not see any objection in her eyes. There were only five minutes left until the registration deadline.
She sighed and finally nodded helplessly. “Alright, although I don’t know why you have to see it, I hope you can keep your promise because I didn’t plagiarize your work at all.”
Gao Wen couldn’t be bothered to listen to her nonsense. She leaned in front of the computer impatiently and stared at the cursor. Only when the design draft was magnified in front of her did her eyes widen in shock.
After the shock, there was only endless grievance.
The office fell silent for a moment.
The Year Head went to Gao Wen’s side in confusion and asked tentatively, “Wenwen, are you sure? She really didn’t plagiarize your work?”
However, after he said this, he realized that Gao Wen’s shoulder was trembling violently. Her bitten lower lip had completely lost its color.
“Wenwen?” The form teacher looked worriedly at the tears in Gao Wen’s eyes. She hugged her shoulder comfortingly and said, “What’s on your mind? Can you tell me? What’s going on with that design draft?”
“Nothing.” Gao Wen raised her head arrogantly and forced her tears back. “Teacher, let her participate in the competition. I’ll withdraw from this competition.”
“What did you say?”
The Year Head frowned in confusion. He pounced in front of the computer to look at the design blueprint and strangely realized that the style of the design draft was similar to the manuscript of their submissions in the competition.
The difference was that the design draft was obviously not as perfect as the two drafts in front of him, but it was not difficult to see the designer’s preference for this style.
In that case, Su Tang should indeed be the original designer.
Gao Wen…
The Year head already had a rough idea in his heart, but in order to protect his niece’s dignity, he chose not to say anything. He turned around and followed her words, letting Su Tang successfully register to participate in the competition at the last minute.
The moment Su Tang confirmed the participation information, she heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she was still very puzzled. Why did Gao Wen suddenly choose to take a step back?
Although she did not interact much with Gao Wen and had been targeted by her, she felt that a proud person like Gao Wen would not plagiarize someone else’s work.
She could see Gao Wen’s efforts in this competition, but it was an indisputable fact that their works were similar.
She turned around and looked at her old design blueprint on the computer screen. Then, she saw Gao Wen looking at Shi Man with an aggrieved expression. A shocking thought suddenly flashed across her mind.
She walked to Gao Wen’s side in disbelief and gently placed her palm on her shoulder. “Did you design this draft for the competition because you saw the ready-made clothes I designed for Shi Man?”
Gao Wen shivered all over. She straightened her neck and her stubborn eyes regained their unwillingness to admit defeat. “So what if I did? I didn’t know that you designed that dress!”
Su Tang’s breathing paused, and the doubts in her eyes suddenly became clear.. “Your design draft was designed for… Manman?”
