Lin Jiayi then said, "The nature of this matter is very serious, it’s a matter of life and death for Zhi i. Therefore, we must co forward, for Zhi i, and for those original creators who have suffered the sa fate."
"We are reluctant to speculate maliciously about others, but the facts leave us no choice. Two days ago, at the Ti new product launch, we went to support and learn with appreciation, but we found that Ti released all of our main designs. At that ti, Director Rose and I were so shocked we could barely regain our composure.
We tried to negotiate privately, and we contacted Ti’s managent, only to be t with Ti’s indifference and verbal abuse.
To survive, we cannot sit back and wait for death, so we must ask everyone here to give us and Zhi i justice."
All the journalists in the venue were thrilled; such direct naming and confrontation were simply headline news. Now there was sothing to report, even worth a series of reports to track ongoing developnts.
Lin Jiayi ignored the journalists’ eager hands raised for questions and continued, "Today, we bring forth the works we’ve painstakingly prepared for three months to show everyone. Although Ti has already released these designs and they can no longer debut on Zhi i’s runway, we earnestly ask you, friends from the dia, to give them a chance, tag them with Zhi i’s label, and let them be seen by the world. Director Rose and I thank you all."
Lin Jiayi and Rose stood up and bowed deeply to all the dia present.
Then, Zhi i’s staff brought up two rows of clothing, heightening the tragic atmosphere to a climax.
Those who did not know the full story would surely be moved. Indeed, so young and passionate journalists were already filled with righteous indignation, insisting on exposing Ti’s ugly actions and demanding justice for Zhi i.
Lin Jiayi, satisfied with the atmosphere and reactions, went on, "These clothes are the painstaking work of Director Rose. Let Rose show these pieces to everyone."
Actually, Rose was reluctant to participate in this part because she felt guilty. However, Lin Jiayi insisted, and after a heated argunt, the one with more financial power had the final say, and Rose had to obey.
Rose rushed through the presentation. After all, these journalists didn’t understand design; they were more interested in scandals, secrets, confrontations, and sensationalism. They barely listened to Rose’s explanations and urged her to hurry up, so she just breezed through.
Finally, it was ti for the Q&A session, and the journalists were eager to speak.
"Mr. Lin, you claim that Ti plagiarized your designs. Do you have any proof?"
Lin Jiayi responded, "These designs were all drawn by Director Rose, line by line. We can’t comprehend why our designs would appear at Ti’s launch, especially since they had not announced a launch beforehand and suddenly released new products three days before Zhi i’s. If not out of guilt, I can’t understand why."
"Will your fashion show tomorrow continue this confrontation?"
Smiling at the question, Lin Jiayi confidently said, "Yes, it will! Zhi i is not so fragile, nor easily defeated. Despite what happened, fortunately, our Director Rose was well-prepared. Besides those main designs, she has produced many other excellent styles, originally planned for release next month, but we had to bring them forward. We hope everyone can support us then, thank you!"
Rose smiled tily.
Just then, a journalist suddenly said, "But I received information that contradicts what Mr. Lin said today. I heard that it was Mr. Lin who bribed an employee of Ti and stole four pieces of Zimu’s designs from Ti."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone exchanged glances, then turned to look at Lin Jiayi and Rose.
The employee previously berated by Lin Jiayi realized that this journalist was the uninvited guest and, far from panicking, he almost seed to revel in the shock, thinking, "That’s what you get for scolding ."
Lin Jiayi felt as if a thunderbolt exploded overhead, almost losing her balance. Where did this person co from? Why is he causing trouble on purpose?
But at this mont, she had to remain calm. What to do? Before she could figure it out, Rose sharply asked, "How much did Ti pay you? Are they sending you to disrupt us?!"
Right, we must not admit it, absolutely not!
Lin Jiayi imdiately said, "This is slander. I have never bought anything from anyone. We have Director Rose overseeing our studio; we don’t need anyone else’s designs. Director Rose has won three international fashion design competition gold dals and a national-level silver dal recently. Why would we need to buy designs from dubious sources? It’s ridiculous!"
The journalist shrugged and said, "But Ti claims they have a recording of you transacting with that Ti employee."
Boom!
Lin Jiayi was struck by another thunderbolt, nearly collapsing but managed to say stiffly, "Impossible!"
The journalist persisted, "It’s already spreading online."
What? It’s spreading?
The journalists in the venue got excited again, taking out their phones to check online. Sure enough, as soon as they opened the webpages, they saw a headline pinned at the top, "The pot calling the kettle black: A studio plagiarizes Ti and accuses falsely," published half an hour ago, just when the row of clothes ca out.
Looking at the headline, it undoubtedly referred to Zhi i! StatusCode: 400ens"=>Ilriouns are real by the theater and too interesting.
Seeing the other journalists lower their heads to check their phones, Lin Jiayi beca flustered. Her assistant imdiately took out a phone, opened the webpage, and presented it to Lin Jiayi, who nearly fainted at the sight.
A curious journalist asked, "Mr. Lin, how do you view the news articles online that accuse Zhi i of plagiarism by Ti? What’s your take on this?"
"It’s fake, all fake, nonsense, they’re slandering us, and I will sue them for defamation!" Lin Jiayi shouted exasperatedly.
The press conference ended hurriedly and sloppily. Lin Jiayi and Rose left in disarray, leaving behind a room full of dia excited for chaos.
As soon as they left, Lin Jiayi, unconcerned about the other staff present, imdiately glared at Rose and demanded sharply, "What exactly happened?! Tell ! These clothes were all made by you. Why did Ti not plagiarize anyone else’s clothes but only yours?! Explain this to !"
She was now starting to suspect Rose. Could it be that Rose had indeed sold her designs to Ti, colluding with Wan Chu’er against her?"
