Chapter 2147: Justice

He didn’t rush to address Rose, but instead asked Ni’s vice president, “Is this also the intention of Ni?”

Ni’s president was absent, so the vice president held the highest position at the scene.

His expression was also unpleasant, but his words were still gentle, “President Pei, Ni has no intention of making enemies with E.Y and you, but today’s event, calling it a coincidence is harder to believe than intentional suppression. I don’t want to speculate about President Pei, but the similarity between your company’s new designer’s work and Rose’s is more than 90%. That’s not a coincidence, so we came to ask for an explanation.”

He politely added, “Maybe there is some misunderstanding, and it would be good to clear it up.”

He was very perceptive, not as aggressive as Rose, and truly didn’t want to make enemies with Pei Dongshi. Currently, E.Y hasn’t ventured into the perfume industry, but if they angered Pei Dongshi, he could recruit talent domestically and internationally to create a perfume brand and directly challenge them.

“Plagiarism sounds a bit harsh. My company’s designers wouldn’t do such things. Since Miss Rose is so confident, she should present evidence that proves plagiarism, and I will certainly give you justice.”

“Evidence?”

Rose laughed, “I’m already here, isn’t that evidence enough?”

Pei Dongshi’s eyes, smiling without warmth, stared at her.

Slowly staring the smile off Rose’s face, she dared not meet his eyes again.

She gritted her teeth and started to stir things up: “The work is my design. I have the entire design process, including the first draft. I can show it, so you will be convinced.”

It’s a big taboo in the industry for designers to publicly show their drafts, as much can be gleaned from the drawings.

The designers around her felt it was inappropriate and tried to persuade her.

But Rose made up her mind and said, “Whether it’s for myself or not, Sweetheart is my enlightenment teacher. She didn’t directly guide me, but her works benefited me greatly. I’ve always been her fan, just like the rest of you. It’s heartbreaking to see her paving the way for others. E.Y has gone too far, and we fans can’t just sit by.”

With these words, the designers exchanged glances and stopped trying to persuade her.

They only had surface-level acquaintance with Rose, and most of them came for Sweetheart. They couldn’t meet her in person, but her works must not be used for underhanded schemes.

“President Pei, may I borrow a computer?”

Pei Dongshi generously allowed her to go on stage, stand in the spotlight of everyone’s attention, and provided her with a computer, even connecting it to the big screen.

She compared her own designs with Nan Jiaojiao’s one by one side to side, explaining in person so that even those unfamiliar with the field could easily understand.

Such a high degree of similarity, isn’t it plagiarism?

The original author was methodical on stage, inciting anger among many people at the scene, but no one dared to confront Pei Dongshi. Besides, E.Y hadn’t yet made a move, and there was still more to watch.

She displayed twelve design drawings and a series of drafts, standing on stage with her hands on the table edge, deliberately looking down at Pei Dongshi.

“President Pei, this is the evidence. Do you have any way to counter it? Are you going to falsely accuse me of—plagiarizing your new designer?”

Rose sneered, “If President Pei can’t provide a convincing explanation to me and everyone else, your justice today will be lacking, and your reputation, as well as E.Y’s future, will be tainted.”
