Chapter 2365 - 2365 Twins
2365 Twins
Frank also smiled. He really admired Qiao Weiyang’s open-mindedness.
“Shall we have a drink together?” he invited.
“No problem.” Qiao Weiyang picked up her glass.
Just as she picked it up, Lin Heng walked toward her. “Weiyang, I have a few words to say to you alone.”
“If you have something to say, say it here.”
Lin Heng glanced at Frank, not wanting to make a big deal out of Qiao Weiyang’s plagiarism.
Qiao Weiyang said indifferently, “Frank is my friend. There’s nothing he can’t know about.”
Obviously, even an ordinary friend like Frank was more important than Lin Heng in Qiao Weiyang’s eyes.
Lin Heng noticed this and was a little displeased. Suppressing his emotions, he asked, “Why did the main committee call you over? I heard that the people who were called over got into problems. What’s the problem on your side?”
From the looks of it, he really believed those brainwashers. He did not question anything he saw or heard.
Qiao Weiyang could not help but laugh as she held her wine glass. The person in front of her was still as stupid as ever.
“If you think it’s a problem, then it’s a problem. President Lin, you don’t believe me anytime I say something anyway. Why do you have to verify it every time? Don’t you think you’re a very contradictory person?”
She asked casually.
Lin Heng suddenly realized that what she said did make sense.
However, he felt that there were many things that he had to hear from her before he could be at ease.
“Then tell me. I’ll believe you this time,” Lin Heng said in a low voice.
Even Frank was surprised by his affectionate look. He had seen him and Qiao Jierou acting all lovey-dovey to each other, and he had seen him and Roman rolling in the bed together. Now, he was making promises to Qiao Weiyang?
Frank spread his hands and looked at Qiao Weiyang curiously, as if asking how such a person could exist.
Qiao Weiyang also spread her hands, indicating that she didn’t understand either.
Seeing that the two of them were in sync, Lin Heng’s tone became heavier. “I’ll believe you since I said so.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Lin. Whether you believe me or not is not important to me.” Qiao Weiyang held her wine glass and made an expression that said, ‘You can leave now.’
Lin Heng didn’t get anything out of her. He was anxious and uneasy. He didn’t understand why he had to get an answer from her.
Perhaps he wanted to help her, or perhaps he just wanted to make sure that the information he received was correct. All kinds of thoughts mixed together in his mind.
When he returned to Qiao Jierou’s side, his heart was still filled with worry.
“Brother Heng, what did Sister say?” Qiao Jierou asked out of ‘concern.’
“She didn’t say anything.”
When Qiao Jierou heard this, she was a little worried. Was Qiao Weiyang kicked out of the competition because of plagiarism?
If that was the case, why did she appear at the cocktail party?
If that wasn’t the case, what about Hu Haitian’s predicament?
“Brother Heng, don’t worry. I’ll get the interpreter to ask about the situation.”
After receiving Qiao Jierou’s instructions, the interpreter immediately went over.
Qiao Weiyang and Frank were chatting when they saw Qiao Jierou’s interpreter walking into the crowd. They knew she must’ve given instructions.
There was no reason for Qiao Weiyang to remain at the event location. Qiao Weiyang said goodbye to Frank and left the venue.
Behind her, Qiao Jierou was still looking at her figure.
Seeing Qiao Weiyang leave, Qiao Jierou was secretly delighted. She couldn’t withstand the pressure and left?
From the looks of it, this matter was practically verified.
Lin Heng looked at Qiao Weiyang’s back and frowned slightly. He wanted to help Qiao Weiyang, but she wasn’t opening her heart to him at all. He couldn’t communicate with her.
“Brother Heng, don’t worry. Even if there’s a problem with Sister, her management company will help her settle it. It’s not a big problem.”
Lin Heng said nothing.
Finally, the interpreter came back and walked up to Qiao Jierou. “Miss Qiao.”
“How did it go?”
“I’ve asked around. There were many contestants who were called over by the committee. Not all of them are involved in plagiarism. Some of them were called over because big companies wanted to poach them in advance.”
“If they haven’t even seen the results, how are they going to make the decision on who to poach?” Qiao Jierou’s heart tightened at the thought of this.
“Although they haven’t seen the final results of the competition, these companies have been collecting information about the contestants and checking their usual design style and philosophy from before. Therefore, not everyone was kicked out of the competition like Hu Haitian.”
Qiao Jierou secretly clenched her fists. “Then why was Qiao Weiyang called over?”
“I heard that several companies are fighting over her. Because of the personal design inspiration folder she released previously, she has gained a lot of favor.”
Damn it! Qiao Jierou did not expect this possibility.
It seemed that Qiao Weiyang had not only taken drastic measures at that time but had also fought for her own benefits!
She was so scheming. She had underestimated her!
Qiao Jierou’s face was twisted crazily with jealousy. Just what kind of competition was this? Why bother going to this extent? Couldn’t they just look at the contestants’ final rankings?
“Miss Qiao, are you alright?” The interpreter quickly asked.
“It’s nothing. I’m just a little unwell from drinking.”
When Lin Heng heard that Qiao Weiyang was alright, his nervous expression relaxed. He said, “It’s great that she’s fine. Jierou, I’ll accompany you back to rest.”
“Okay.” Qiao Jierou had no choice but to agree first.
When she returned, the more she thought about it, the more flustered she became.
Since Qiao Weiyang was not kicked out of the competition and she was still participating in it, Qiao Jierou’s situation was very dangerous.
If she failed, the consequences…
The moment she thought about how much investment she had received and how she carried the hope of the entire JR, her heart trembled.
She secretly dialed Hu Haitian’s number.
There was a deafening commotion in the bar. It took a long time before Hu Haitian’s drunken voice sounded. “Hey, w-what’s the matter?”
“Hu Haitian, do you know who reported you for plagiarism?” Qiao Jierou’s voice was gloomy over the phone.
…
Qiao Weiyang received a call from Mr. Lance the next day.
“Q, we arranged for the jewelry design award ceremony to be held two hours before the fashion competition. That way, you’ll be able to come over. I’ll let you know in advance that your ranking should be very good.” Mr. Lance laughed heartily.
“I’ll be there on time. Thank you for your recommendation, Mr. Lance.”
“Even if I hadn’t recommended you, it would’ve happened sooner or later. Q, your talent should be seen by more people.”
After putting down the phone, Qiao Weiyang instructed Tao Huan to prepare an evening gown for the jewelry design award ceremony.
