Chapter 14: Crazy Kiss 8

  "Why are you so concerned about David?" Musui Xue didn't remember giving Atang any special instructions.

  "I... I also heard it from Director Li." In fact, these photos were sent by Li Pingan to Ah Tang.

  "Oh." As they walked towards the resting room, Mu Si said to Ah Tang, "Call Qi Qi over."

  How can such a thing happen? Musi Xue sat in the chair, her arm resting on the armrest, her index finger lightly stroking the end of her eyebrow: Be calm. Suspected plagiarism, for people who do design, it should not be unfamiliar, so how should she deal with it, let Qiqi's work continue to be exhibited or stop?

  What to do? If this time has a bad influence, last time Old Lu rolled money escape event, the company's morale has already begun to dissipate. If Qiqi is suspected of plagiarism again, the company's pace will only become more and more difficult.

  Could it be that Qiqi's work is really a copy? No way! Musui Xue immediately dispelled this idea. She had heard Qiqi's interpretation of those works, which didn't seem like a copy at all. Each piece was explained beautifully and deeply. She also heard Qiqi discussing the works with Zhang Haoran, considering every detail, even every shiny fragment... But if she didn't copy, then what about David's side...

  Qiqi's face turned ashen, and she hastily walked in: "Manager! I don't know what's going on? Really! These dresses were all designed by me. I swear to you!"

  Muxi Xue looked at Qiqi, and she didn't believe that those eyes would lie either. However, whether or not she believed Qiqi was unimportant; what mattered was making the media and the masses believe: "Speak up! What good methods do you have?"

  Atang and Qiqi looked at each other in dismay, speechless.

  Muxi Xue stood up, she had no more time. What's the use of being calm again? She now had to make a decision, whether to exhibit Qiqi's work or not, and whether it was necessary for her to take this risk.

  If she doesn't exhibit, her loss is just a set of works. If she continues, their company may have to bear the infamy of plagiarism. She knows what reputation means to a company? Perhaps, once a company's reputation is damaged, it will perish.

  She turned to Qiqi, wanting to take another look at what was in those eyes?

  Anxious, angry, uneasy, fearful, wronged... too many emotions, she didn't have a keen eye, couldn't see it, couldn't see it... She had to distinguish, distinguish... Was it that day when the model was trying on clothes, those photos and videos... The photos were clear, but they all focused on her and Pei Yichen, almost no other models. At that time, it seemed not all models wore today's work, Zixi seemed to be wearing Zhang Haoran's at the time. The video was too shaky, even what style of clothes she was wearing couldn't be seen clearly... What she was wearing, what she was wearing...

  "When did you send me that draft?"

  "When are you going to give me that thing... when are you going to give me that thing?" Qiqi's mind was a complete blank, her mouth just kept repeating: "When, when..."

  "Don't be in a hurry. I remember you said it was after seeing me, which was ten days ago..."

  As soon as Xiuye reminded her, Qiqi remembered: "I remember! The draft that came out the day after beef beer, that night, I and Zhang Haoran rushed to work together and made it." She was somehow infected by Zhang Haoran and directly mentioned beef beer.

  "That means eight days ago?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Think again, you two. That day when the models were trying on clothes, and I was being photographed, weren't all the models wearing today's designs?"

  Atang and Qiqi's brains were spinning, Atang said: "There are still many models that haven't been tried yet. It seems like only Zixi and another model are wearing our company's designs."

  "Hmm. At that time, half of the models were inside changing into my clothes to try on Frank's. It was like this, at that time I also helped a model zip up because you had left, and the clothes on that model's body were actually Frank's." Qiqi heard Ah Tang say this and remembered the situation back then.

  "What? Manager! You suspect Pei Yichen......" Ah Tang didn't know what Mu Si Xue wanted to do.

  "What about the dress? The one you gave me!" Because of Pei Yichen's sudden and forceful kiss, Musi Xue changed clothes and directly hung them in the dressing room without taking them away.

  "It should be in the background. Just, there are some wrinkles...” Last time, Muxi Xue hastily left, hanging her dress in the fitting room, and QiQi was still regretful about it for a while, even thinking that Muxi Xue had rejected her gift.

  "Don't talk anymore, hurry up and tidy up, find the accessories. I'll press this stage!"

  Qiqi heard Musui Xue's words and understood what she wanted to do. She didn't deny herself, but thought of ways to support herself. Qiqi was extremely grateful: "Manager! How can I thank you!"

  "Now thank me for nothing. If the other party also has this, who will still believe you, believe our company? I can only conclude that it is you who plagiarized!"

  "At dusk, the determination in Xue's eyes made Qi Qi more confident: 'Manager! Don't worry! I can't afford to take responsibility for the consequences, but this is my work. I don't believe anyone else can get it. If they do, then it must be me.'"

  Qiqi finished speaking and almost ran towards the backstage.

  "Ah Tong! Has Pei Yichen arrived?"

  "Here. There is a separate rest room."

  "Tell him the situation and ask if he still wants to participate in this show. If not, we won't consider it a breach of contract. If he's willing to continue with the show, ask if he minds changing partners. I'll go backstage first." Pei Yichen's original partner was Zixi.

  Muxi Xue also almost ran towards the backstage.

  Weichiliya and Davy are vastly different, Davy puts 'soul' at the beginning, while Muxi Xue puts 'return' in the last scene, which is also Li Pingan's arrangement.

  The quiet autumn shoot is about to end, and Muxi Xue is surrounded by a makeup artist, hairstylist, and wardrobe assistant. Qiqi is anxiously waiting on the side, time is too tight.

  Everything has been simplified. On the one hand, she combed her hair and applied foundation, her hair was simply styled, and the foundation was also brushed on, eyelashes were pasted, a small bunch of 'clove' was pinned beside the bun, which served as both cover-up and hair decoration. Then came eyebrow pencil, eye liner, lip color... The hand ornament had only one simple chain, but fortunately, Muxue's hand already had a chain with the same style, so this step was also skipped...

  The first person has already started walking on the stage, Zhang Haoran led the stage director to run over, the director briefly explained a few words to Musi Xue, and Musi Xue nodded repeatedly. She was not unfamiliar with this, when she studied visual arts in Chicago, she had performed in a stage play, although she had never walked on the stage before, but her sense of rhythm and costume was still very good.

  Four or five people worked together in a flurry of activity, and ten minutes later, Mu Si Xue had already put on the 'Heart of the Sea'.

  Pei Yichen stood behind Musi Xue, staring blankly ahead. He never thought that they could still perform together in his dreams.

  It's almost time to go on stage, and Muxi Xue is still a bit nervous: she can do it, she can do very well. Her mother had said that she had studied dance for twelve years, she had performed many times, and she had also proven this at the University of Chicago.

  Pei Yicen gazed at Musi Xue with a daze, he had never thought that today he could hold Musi Xue's hand and walk on stage, even if she refused to speak to him from now on, being able to hold her hand at this moment was enough for him.
