Chapter 964: Showing The Same Work
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With the host’s explanation, the awkward atmosphere at the scene eased up a little. Shen Yu was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with disdain.
The final score was the score determined by the judges and the audience’s support rate. The results were soon announced. Xia Tong was indeed ranked first.
“Congratulations to Xia Tong for temporarily getting first place, but the production team has also invited a masked designer to the venue today to showcase their work. Let’s wait and see who the final winner is!
“Faced with such a strong opponent like Xia Tong, what outstanding work will this masked designer bring us? Will Xia Tong crush her, or will the masked designer pose a strong counterattack?”
Xia Tong raised her head high and smiled confidently. The final winner could only be her. Her sugar daddy had invested 50 million yuan. It could be said that this show was made for her. The outcome was already decided.
At this moment, a staff member pushed a dress covered in a red cloth out from backstage. Under everyone’s expectant gazes, the red cloth was lifted, revealing the work inside. This gown was also perfect, but…
Everyone immediately reacted. “That’s not right! Isn’t this the same as Xia Tong’s work?”
“The staff member must have brought out the wrong gown!”
“No! Look carefully, the fabric and color of this gown are different from Xia Tong’s, but the style is exactly the same.”
Xia Tong was also stunned. She suddenly realized that the small-time designer had actually completed her work according to the original design. She really overestimated herself.
When two similar works appeared, one of them would naturally be deemed as having plagiarized the other. However, she was more famous than that designer. She went on stage to display her work first, so everyone would naturally have the first impression. Moreover, the production team was on her side. After taking her money, they would naturally speak up for her.
The fabric of this designer’s work was rough and lusterless. Who would believe that this design belonged to the designer?
The little b*tch actually dared to make a scene in front of the stage. In that case, she would let her have a taste of her reputation being ruined. She would probably never be able to be a designer again.
At this moment, the staff member could only brace themselves and push the work to the front. It was placed next to Xia Tong’s work. The two sets of clothes were just slightly different in color and materials. The host was stunned.
Xia Tong suddenly exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The venue instantly fell silent. The audience stood up to watch this awkward scene. They had watched so many shows, but this was the first time they were seeing two sets of work that were exactly the same. Even the creases and embroidery on the waist were the same. These were all completed according to the same design.
Was this designer crazy?
Bang!
One of the judges slammed the table and shouted, “How arrogant! It’s exactly the same as Miss Xia Tong’s work. She didn’t even change it a little. She copied so brazenly!”
Xia Tong hurriedly placated him, saying, “Mr. Qiu, don’t be anxious. There might be a misunderstanding. You can get that designer to explain it.”
“Miss Xia, she actually dares to plagiarize on a TV show. I don’t know how many people’s works she has plagiarized in private. Such a person isn’t worthy to be a designer at all!”
Hearing the judge’s words, everyone looked at the masked designer with disdain. The young lady was very young and had a good figure. Although her face was covered, it was obvious that she was a beauty. Why did she have to do such a thing?
The host received instructions from his earpiece. The filming was suspended, and the judges went on stage to observe the two sets of dresses closely. “That’s right, they’re the same. Miss Xia, did your design get stolen before the competition?”
Xia Tong said thoughtfully, “I don’t know either. I’ve already submitted my design to the production team.”
In order to prove her innocence, Xia Tong printed a copy of the design as soon as she received it and handed it to the production team. With the production team as witnesses, it was meaningless no matter how that small-time designer tried to explain herself.
The judges all berated, “In this day and age, there are all kinds of people. In the past, in order to arouse inspiration, designers could go for days without sleeping or eating. Now, these young designers are only thinking of taking shortcuts.”
“She’s really embarrassing the honor of designers!”
When Xia Tong saw that everyone was speaking up for her, the corners of her mouth curled up proudly as she revealed a provocative smile at Qiao Xi.
