The first few bidders began one after another. Song Liangjiang had been feeling uneasy ever since Luo Fuyang spoke to her, so her drowsiness had long vanished.
Chu Jingmo was already paying attention to their movements, so he naturally noticed that something was wrong between them.
Chu Jingmo gestured to Li Chuan and whispered something in his ear. Li Chuan turned around and left.
It wasn't long before the staff served coffee for everyone to refresh themselves.
Song Liangjiang's coffee was personally delivered by Li Chuan. When he put it down, he whispered in her ear, "The president said that coffee will refresh you at this time."
When Song Liangjiang heard this, she looked at Li Chuan with a stoic expression. Li Chuan chuckled and quickly returned to Chu Jingmo.
She looked past the crowd at the man sitting at the head of the table. That man really liked to hold grudges.
After the third bidder, it was Luo Fuyang's turn. Before she went up, she took another look at Song Liangjiang before she went over with her assistant.
"Jiang Miao'er, why do I feel that something is amiss? Is that woman up to no good again?" Tang Yi whispered into Song Liangjiang's ear.
Song Liangjiang frowned as she watched Luo Liyang's assistant fidgeting with the projector. When the image came out, Tang Yi's eyes widened.
Luo Fuyang glanced at Song Liangjiang swiftly and began to introduce her design.
When Tang Yi was about to stand up, her senior stopped her. "Calm down."
"That's our design," Tang Yi growled. Although it was different in some ways, every design had a main concept— the so-called master design construction. Everything after that came from this master design.
As a designer, she could tell at a glance what the main design was.
Song Liangjiang clenched her fists and kept staring at the woman on the screen. The main design was in her hands. Even Tang Yi and her senior didn't have it.
Therefore, Luo Fuyang could only steal the idea from her. But when did she get it?
Although Chu Jingmo didn't know much about design, he saw that Song Liangjiang's expression wasn't right, as if she was tolerating something.
After Luo Fuyang finished speaking, she came down and was about to say something to Song Liangjiang. Song Liangjiang then splashed a cup of coffee on her face.
"Shameless." Song Liangjiang's eyes were red. She wanted to skin this woman alive.
Luo Fuyang's assistant was about to step forward when he was stopped by Luo Fuyang. "Miss Song, what are you doing? Even if you admit defeat, you shouldn't be so rude."
"Luo Fuyang, I thought you were merely playing tricks behind my back, but I didn't expect you to degrade yourself to this extent. It's just a design. So what if I give it to you?" With that, Song Liangjiang slammed the cup. "I wonder if you will be able to design anything else in the future."
With that, Song Liangjiang spun around and left.
"Jiang Miao'er." Tang Yi glared at Luo Fuyang and turned to follow her.
Her senior packed up his laptop and followed them out.
When they were outside, Tang Yi caught up with Song Liangjiang. "What's going on? Why does Luo Fuyang have our design?"
There was anger in Song Liangjiang's chest, making her heave heavily. It was as if she had just been pregnant, but someone with ulterior motives had transferred the small embryo into someone else's stomach and given birth to it.
Just… damn disgusting!
"Ugh…" Song Liangjiang couldn't help but vomit.
"Jiang Miao'er!" Tang Yi was shocked and hurriedly supported Song Liangjiang.
She felt dizzy and her vision began to blur.
"Song Liangjiang!"
When Chu Jingmo rushed over, he saw Song Liangjiang falling to the ground.
Chu Jingmo lifted Song Liangjiang and held her in his arms. His hand landed on her forehead. There was a thin layer of sweat on it, and she was cold.
Song Liangjiang was sent to the hospital. After the doctor went to check on her, Chu Jingmo turned to Tang Yi. "What happened?"
Tang Yi didn't expect Chu Jingmo to really follow them. This further confirmed her previous guess that he was really the father of the two twins.
"Luo Fuyang plagiarized our design."
"Plagiarism?" Chu Jingmo's expression darkened. He had found it familiar when he first saw her design, but why would Luo Fuyang do such a thing?
The doctor came out quickly. He explained that the patient was exhausted. In addition, she was so furious that she vomited.
"I understand. I will resolve this matter." Chu Jingmo knew that there was nothing wrong with Song Liangjiang, so he left the hospital. He still had matters to deal with.
Their senior remained silent until Song Liangjiang was sent to the ward. "What's the relationship between Chu Jingmo and Jiang Miao'er?"
"You haven't noticed it yet, but those two boys look exactly like Chu Jingmo. I knew there was something wrong with her reaction the last time she saw Chu Jingmo." Tang Yi sat by the bed and looked at the pale Song Liangjiang. She hated Luo Fuyang to the core.
When Song Liangjiang woke up, it was almost dark. Tang Yi hurriedly helped her up. "Madam just brought the children home. How are you?"
When she got up, her eyes were still a little dazed. After she reacted, she wanted to get out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Tang Yi helped her up.
"Luo Fuyang must have seen my sketchbook at the hotel in Country M…"
"What's the point of looking for her now? If she only read your sketchbook, who can prove it?" Tang Yi had calmed down by now. She pressed Song Liangjiang down and told her to sit properly. "If she wanted to do this long ago, you can't guard yourself against her forever."
"But you and Senior Brother…" The more Song Liangjiang thought about it, the angrier she became. She wasn't angry at herself, but at the fact that both her seniors had worked with her for so long. And now, their work had been snatched away by someone else.
"Forget it. The Chu Corporation has already chosen a bidder." Tang Yi sighed.
"Luo Fuyang?"
If it really was that woman, she would go and kill her with her bare hands right now.
"No, Chu Jingmo vetoed it. Then he could only choose another design from the other six." This was what she had heard.
It was said that Chu Jingmo had even fought with the board of directors again because of Luo Yuanyang's plagiarism. It was unknown what was said in the end, but the board of directors retracted their votes, while Chu Jingmo vetoed it.
Chu Jingmo vetoed it?
Song Liangjiang was a little surprised. She knew that this matter concerned the future of the Chu Corporation for the next three years. She had seen the first few designs and they were all rather ordinary. The last few designs might be the same. Such designs could not save the Chu Corporation at all.
Chu Jingmo should also understand very well that Luo Fuyang had copied her main concept. Moreover, Luo Fuyang was a powerful designer herself, so her design could definitely be used.
But why did Chu Jingmo refuse?
Just because they said they plagiarized, and Chu Jingmo believed them?
Or had he simply believed her?
