Chapter 1403: Earrings

At first, Lin Yi didn’t notice anything amiss.

It was Su Xinying’s excessive confidence and unreasonable anger, jumping up and down, confidently enlarging her design repeatedly and speaking so convincingly that the uninformed could easily be fooled.

After noticing the trick, Lin Yi still remained silent.

She just found these outsiders laughable, though she appeared calm on the surface.

After all, it was none of her business, and she wasn’t bothered to get involved.

But then Nan Jiaojiao threw the spotlight on her, and Qin Qing asked, “Lin Yi, what did you notice?”

Lin Yi secretly sighed, “The earrings designed by Su Xinying exceeded the maximum allowable diameter by one centimeter.

Both the inner and outer tassel designs, along with the half-circle pearls embellishing the edge, exceeded the normal load.

Furthermore, the ear pins were too short and too straight, and there was no design for earring backs.

While such a design might produce a sample, it’s not suitable for wearing on human ears—it can fall off easily and the weight is harmful to the ears.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Su Xinying, flustered, resorted to accusing Lin Yi publicly, which put Lin Yi in an awkward position.

“Be quiet!” Qin Qing lashed out, “Is Master Lin telling the truth?”

“I…”

Su Xinying bit her lip hard, forcing out her words, “That’s just the design draft.

Time was tight, and I hadn’t made any modifications yet.

But!

Nan Jiaojiao’s version is very similar to mine, clearly showing she modified her earrings based on my design!”

Even someone who plagiarizes knows your earring design is flawed and would modify it.

How could you not know!

Qin Qing wasn’t a fool; she roughly knew what was going on.

However, the setup was aimed at Nan Jiaojiao, so she wouldn’t openly side with Nan Jiaojiao.

Her reproach toward Su Xinying was thus mild.

“I…

I have evidence.”

Qin Qing raised her eyes, “If you have evidence, present it.

Don’t drag it out like spilling beans; everyone has other things to do and can’t spend all day on these two design drafts!”

Su Xinying stepped forward, questioned Jing Chuwen, and then tried to find her so-called evidence using the mouse.

Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t interested.

She politely said to Lin Yi, “Thank you, Master Lin.”

Lin Yi gave her a slight glance, secretly annoyed and feeling used.

She didn’t respond to Nan Jiaojiao but instead told Qin Qing, “Since I’m no longer needed here, I’ll head out.

I have a client meeting at ten, so I need to go back and prepare the materials.”

Qin Qing waved her hand, “Sorry to trouble you, go ahead.”

Lin Yi nodded, opened the meeting room door, and the tall figure outside made her instinctively step back two steps before she recognized who it was.

“President Pei?”

Pei Dongshi: “Leaving?”

“Yes, I have other matters, so I won’t join the meeting.”

Pei Dongshi stepped aside, allowing Lin Yi to leave.

Everyone in the meeting room, including Qin Qing, stood up.

“President Pei.”

“President Pei, you’re back.”

“How come you didn’t announce your return so we could come and greet you?”

Pei Dongshi arrived alone, without even his assistant.

He rushed over after hearing the news upon reaching the company, heading straight to the main seat, his gaze briefly flickering over to Nan Jiaojiao as his eyebrows subtly knitted together, and asked Qin Qing, “What’s going on?”

Qin Qing briefly recounted the incident to him, “It’s my fault for not managing well.

If you wish to punish me, do it later; first, figure out who among these two copied whom, so the company can be accountable.”

Pei Dongshi frowned coldly, letting out a chilly laugh.
