Everyone in the conference room grew silent . Then, they hurriedly lifted their cameras and started taking pictures of her!
At the same time, the Internet exploded in a frenzy of activity!
The messages “Mi Nuo is here!” and “How cool of Mi Nuo!” overtook the entire Weibo site .
Zhuang Nainai knew that Mi Nuo was seen as an underdog . The public opinion was on Mi Nuo’s side . If Zhuang Nainai couldn’t provide solid proof to show that the design drafts were hers, then the Imperial Group’s reputation would be utterly tarnished!
The most important thing to a corporation was its reputation and culture . This was especially so for a publicly listed corporation like the Imperial Group . The price of its shares could experience great fluctuations within a day .
She narrowed her eyes and lifted her head . She saw Si Zhengting standing next to her, silently gazing at her and not saying a word .

Then, she stood up after receiving strength from his encouraging gaze .
Mi Nuo stood outside the door for a long time before saying, “Gu Qingyan, I’m here . ”
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips .
Mi Nuo looked at the reporters . “As a suppressed member of the working class, I must know how to retaliate . Our country is a country under the rule of law, and it is a socialist nation . If I have been treated unjustly, the state will definitely do me justice . ”
After she said this, she looked at Si Zhengting . “Mr . Si had once helped to advance my career . It’s all thanks to his grooming that I am where I am today . And I’m here today not to return his kindness with ingratitude . I’m just here to speak the truth . ”

Mi Nuo indeed displayed the characteristics of an employee who had worked for the Imperial Group for many years . Her years of experience in the company showed in the way in which she spoke: calmly and elegantly . After saying these words before the camera, the public’s perception of her became even more favorable .
A series of cheers erupted on the Internet, the netizens praising her for her bravery and clicking on the “thumbs up” icon .
Mi Nuo slowly walked toward the stage, then stood a distance away from Zhuang Nainai . This was specially arranged by Si Zhengting, in case she were to hit Zhuang Nainai in her desperation . After all, Zhuang Nainai was heavily pregnant, and it would be a ghastly sight if anything were to happen to her .
Mi Nuo and Zhuang Nainai stood there before the entire world’s watchful eyes, and they started their face-off .
Mi Nuo got straight to the point . “Gu Qingyan, back then in the design competition, the judges had taken disciplinary action against you for plagiarizing my work . Perhaps you don’t know what the punishment was . It was that you could never enter any of their design competitions again . I don’t understand how else you could face-off against me . ”
After she said this, Mi Nuo whipped out a document . It was the disciplinary action that the committee of judges had imposed against Zhuang Nainai .
Then Mi Nuo asked Zhuang Nainai, “Do you have any evidence proving that you didn’t plagiarize my work?”
Zhuang Nainai met her gaze and shook her head . “No . ”
After she said this, the audience burst into laughter .
Mi Nuo smirked . “Then how are you going to face-off against me?”
Zhuang Nainai stared at her, her gaze resolute . “Through a concept . ”
Mi Nuo was taken aback . “What?”
“Every design has a soul . I want us to face-off by coming up with a design concept . ”
