Chapter 173: The Fourth Exposure! Lan Ting’s Super Mysterious Designer!
“If you wanted to show us, you would have done so earlier. I think she simply doesn’t have any!” The school leader looked at Principal Fu and sneered. ” Your school’s student is really an eye-opener. Not only did she slander others for stealing her design draft, she even tried to pass herself off as a famous designer. How morally corrupt!”
Lu Yang, Qin Yaozhi and several other students glared at the female leader as they gritted their teeth and made fists.
If not for Lu Shangjin and Qin Rui stopping them, they would have rushed up to Zhou Xintang to fight her.
Qi Songyan stared at Gu Mang. “Since you’re unable to prove that the original draft of the design is yours, shouldn’t you apologize to the person you defamed?”
Zhou Xintang saw that Gu Mang remained silent and knew that she did not have any evidence.
She felt relieved as she lifted her head and sneered disdainfully. “She defamed me and I won’t accept her apology. Some people really do anything to become famous. There is a rumor that has been going around that Lan Ting’s designer is a young man. You should have checked before posing as him.”
“Who said our Lan Ting’s chief designer is a male?”
A male voice rang out.
Everyone turned to look at a man in a suit. He walked past the audience and came down the steps.
Following behind him was a simply dressed woman.
Qi Songyan ‘s widened in shock when he saw the man.
Ji Heng?! Why was he here?
Qin Fang, who was sitting besides the reporters, stood up right away and placed his hand on He Yidu’s shoulders. “D*mn, Old He! Ji Heng is here! Gu Mang is actually Lan Ting’s chief designer!”
The always composed He Yidu was taken aback for a few seconds. Ji Heng was a younger member of the capital’s Ji family. After he graduated with a doctorate degree at the age of twenty three, he left the family and started his own business. He currently held half of Lan Ting’s shares, a brand with a market value over ten billion.
Someone asked, “Who is this man?”
“Do you not know Lan Ting’s CEO?” The voice of the person replying was trembling with excitement.#M518858ScriptRootC904590 {min-height: 300px;}
Ji Heng walked straight to Gu Mang and looked at her. “There was a jam so I’m late.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Ji Heng’s attitude towards Gu Mang…
Zhou Xintang was completely flustered. Her pale lips were pursed tightly. Was Gu Mang truly Lan Ting’s designer?
Gu Mang stood up and nodded as she reached out her hand. “Hand me the design drafts.”
The female designer handed Gu Mang the tablet she had been carrying as she replied with agitation, “God G, here are the design drafts.”
She was usually the one in charge of contacting God G. The clothes that Gu Mang wore in Sheng Ting’s MV as well as those worn by Ming City High School’s students during the celebration had been prepared by her.
Gu Mang took the tablet and looked at the eleven drafts as she swiped the screen, her eyebrows lowered.
When Lu Chengzhou saw the designs, his eyes couldn’t look away. It was no wonder why Gu Mang would call the piece that Zhou Xintang had copied as a flawed, substandard piece.
His gaze rested on Gu Mang’s stunning side profile. He narrowed his eyes, looking like a cultured scoundrel. She had quite a lot of secrets.
After looking, she passed the tablet to Tao Jing inspidly. “Have a look at the other eleven drafts.”
All eyes stared at Gu Mang in shock. She really took out the drafts…
Tao Jing was very interested in seeing the design drafts for the ‘Twelve Legends of Vientiane’ series so he had asked Gu Mang to participate in this year’s design competition. Now that the drafts were right before his eyes, his mind was blank. He snapped out of his trance and took the tablet from her.
In the top left hand corner of every draft, every element represented in the ‘twelve ornaments’ was written in small seal script. The style of the clothing was almost identical to Zhou Xintang’s, including the chest design where elements of totems, flowers, birds, and other animals were fused together.
There were twelve ornaments but only eleven drafts. The draft for the ‘Vientiane Three Stars’ was missing.
