Chapter 1810: Do You Dare Swear You Did Not Copy?

Xia Ruya did not think that Wen Xinya would be so scheming to exploit the loophole in her words.

If Bai Ling really managed to design items that were comparable to the fashion design masters of the world, then the Li Corporation would attract a lot of attention and questioning from many people.

For a while, she regretted playing with Wen Xinya even though she knew that Wen Xinya was such a cunning person. She should have exposed her at the launch and left it at that, instead of causing so much trouble.

Xia Ruya’s eyes flickered. She did not agree, but she also did not disagree.

Wen Xinya confidently asked, “What does everyone think of my suggestion?”

Most of the people invited to today’s launch were the close partners of the Wen Corporation, as well as friends and family members. Naturally, they would be supportive of the Wen Corporation.

Indeed, they expressed their approval.

Xia Ruya knew that she had no power and regretted it. “Ha, I do want to see for myself whether the Wen Corporation’s new designer can really be compared to fashion designers of the world. I sure hope you don’t suffer a double loss.”

Quickly, Xia Ruya’s emotions stabilized.

She also studied fashion design. Hence, she knew that to be successful, one must have talent, experience and skills. Bai Ling was young. She lacked experience and training, and she would not be able to design pieces that were comparable to the masters of fashion design.

She guessed that Wen Corporation’s new designs were created from Gu Yihan’s old drafts.

The reason Wen Xinya said these words in public was so that she could put on a bluff. If she fell for it and stopped Bai Ling or disagreed with the works Bai Ling presented, she would be exposing the fact that she had copied works from others.

Wen Xinya was too scheming.

However, she would not be played so easily.

This matter was settled then.

Wen Xinya looked at the shy Bai Ling who stood in a corner and shouted, “Bai Ling, come here!”

Bai Ling slouched further and did not dare approach.

This scene further confirmed what Xia Ruya thought. She laughed coldly. “This is Wen Corporation’s new designer. She has never seen the world, so she doesn’t dare meet anyone!”

It would be the biggest joke if someone like her could design as well as the fashion design masters of the world.

Upon seeing this scene, those who initially had confidence in the Wen Corporation shook their head and sighed. It looked like the Wen Corporation was set up for failure again.

Jing Jing and Nan Nan pushed her forward.

“Ling Ling, you can’t back down at such a crucial period. The Wen Corporation is relying on you to rebuild its reputation. Think about how well Teacher Gu and Sister Xinya treated us, you can’t let Sister Xinya down, if not we would be wasting all the nurture and effort she put into us.”

“Jing Jing is right, think about the pieces we have put so much effort into designing. Now we have been accused of copying, do you think we put in so much effort into planning this launch just to gain the reputation of presenting copies?”

The two girls were agitated and their faces were red. Their eyes were filled with tears and they felt very bad at that moment.

Bai Ling’s mind was blank.

Wen Corporation’s reputation and the hopes of the entire fashion design department were all on her. It made her feel overwhelmed, and she wanted to avoid all of this.

She knew better than anyone else what she was worth.

She could not possibly design pieces that were comparable to world famous designers. From the start, she had lost, and since she had already lost, why should she continue to humiliate herself?

However, upon hearing Jing Jing and Nan Nan’s words, she hesitated for a while.

“It’s really hard to believe that she’s the one who designed the pieces for this launch. I’d rather believe that the Wen Corporation copied the Li Corporation’s pieces.”

“She doesn’t even dare show her face, how could she design anything good? I bet she copied the Li Corporation’s works and dragged the Wen Corporation down with her.”

“Without Gu Yihan, it will be hard for the Wen Corporation to maintain its market share of the fashion industry.”

“Sigh, it’s so difficult to nurture a talented new designer. What was the Wen Corporation thinking?”

The sounds of non-stop discussion were targeted at the Wen Corporation and suspicious of Bai Ling.

Xia Ruya revealed a smile of victory.

However, Wen Xinya was in no rush. She simply looked at Bai Ling without any hint of anxiety or panic.

Bai Ling, upon hearing the discussion, felt a sense of anger in her heart. She looked at the person she respected most, Sister Xinya. She did not know why Sister Xinya suggested that in front of everyone, when she knew clearly that her designing skills were not good.

Wen Xinya’s looked at her calmly and caused her to sober up instantly.

That’s right, how could she forget that no matter what happened, with Sister Xinya around, she would always be the one that had to account to everyone.

Comparatively, she would only lose face at most.

Bai Ling breathed in and walked over. “Sister Xinya, can my pieces really save the Wen Corporation’s reputation of copying other designers’ works?”

She silently looked at Wen Xinya, her eyes filled with trust and resolve.

Wen Xinya was heartened that she did not pick the wrong person. She answered resolutely, “That’s right!”

Xia Ruya interrupted. “If you wish to save the Wen Corporation’s reputation, you would have to showcase pieces that are better than world-famous designers’ works. Can you do that?”

She looked at Bai Ling mockingly.

From the feedback of the staff she had planted in the fashion design department, she got to know that Bai Ling had some talent. She had been heavily influenced by Gu Yihan in the past and her works were spirited. However, she was not experienced enough and was unable to grasp the proper styles and trends.

People like that were not worthy of being feared.

Bai Ling mustered up all of her courage and said to Xia Ruya, “This person, why are you so rude? I’m talking to Sister Xinya, why are you interrupting? We did not copy anyone’s works, our conscience is clear, even if we do not openly clarify anything. No matter what, at least we dare to prove ourselves in front of everyone. It’s okay if we lose face, it’s okay if we fail, at least our conscience is clear. You say that our works were copied from the Li Corporation, do you dare swear to the heavens about this in front of everyone?”

Bai Ling’s words were innocent yet simple, yet it was this kind of passion and simplicity that was contagious.

Everyone suddenly gained a sense of admiration for Bai Ling.

While Xia Ruya’s emotions were clear as day on her face.

Bai Ling was only a small designer. As the inheritor of the Li Corporation, she did not care too much to bear any grudges against her. However, Bai Ling’s words made people think that if Xia Ruya dare not swear, she was feeling guilty about what she said.

At that moment, it was difficult to come down from the ride, and she was embarrassed to no end.

Her eyes darkened as she stared at Bai Ling. She wanted to see how she would be humiliated later on.
