Looking at the Brocade Embroidery Workshop's competition piece, Rong Dai suddenly understood why Xin Ziqing had arrived in France a day early.
Getting the jump on others was a trick that Xin Ziqing often used in her past life.
Xin Ziqing understood who she was in her past life, while she understood the current Xin Ziqing.
This piece was clearly not made by Xin Ziqing's own hand.
Xin Ziqing had been secretly raised outside by the emperor for many years to bear his heirs. Although she was doted on the most after entering the palace, the number of concubines in the rear palace was so numerous.
Xin Ziqing spent her whole life struggling, where would she have time to do something so carefree and leisurely?
Moreover, something like making an embroidery for the competition was simply not something she needed to do herself. Besides, Xin Ziqing was extremely poor at embroidery and her painting skills were not good either.
This design sketch was somewhat similar to Shi Ning's style.
She immediately pointed out several differences in the design sketches. A story circulated in Yun City Snow Mountain came to her mind. She immediately modified and explained the story on site.
"...So this time, the Brocade Embroidery Workshop and I should have used the same place as inspiration for our designs."
"The beauty of our Huaxia clothing often contains auspicious blessings and stories, especially such a moving and beautiful story like this."
"In times when materials were scarce, embroidering them on clothes and passing them down to later generations was one of the ways we maintained our heritage."
"Although my work is very similar to the Brocade Embroidery Workshop's, it is not plagiarism."
"Can pieces using the same fabric but different colors and patterns be considered plagiarism?"
"If so, then I dare say the clothes we each wear are all plagiarized."
Rong Dai’s voice was as clear as a mountain spring, explaining unhurriedly and calmly without any panic or fear.
"Mr. Delsen, are you satisfied with my explanation?"
"If you still think my work is plagiarized, then I have nothing more to say."
She then shifted her words and looked towards the stunned Delsen.
Being questioned like this, Delsen was a bit at a loss for words.
"Delsen, if I remember correctly, you were the former Chief Design Director of TK, right?"
Tao Yaofang spoke up.
"I returned to China not long ago and coincidentally heard about the conflict between TK and Miss Rong. I won’t elaborate on TK’s matters since I'm sure everyone here is aware. "
"As a Huaxia person and also one of the judges here, I am deeply honored."
"I am willing to give up my judging rights this time, but I must clarify this for Miss Rong's work."
"The beauty of Huaxia clothing lies in the auspicious blessings and stories embroidered on them. I don't deny that the Brocade Embroidery Workshop's work is great too."
"But I personally prefer this touching story more."
"To say Miss Rong's work is plagiarized, that is probably the biggest joke I've heard all year!"
"As we all know, there are irreconcilable conflicts between TK, the Brocade Embroidery Workshop and Miss Rong."
"Is The Wing of Fashion also going to associate with them?"
Tao Yaofang's words were very powerful. After she finished, she took off her name tag from her chest and put it on the table, voluntarily leaving her seat.
Delsen's expression changed immediately. Rong Dai caught a flash of chill in her eyes. So that's how it is.
"Tao, don't get agitated. No one dares to make you leave this place!"
"Since that's the case, we can give Miss Rong two days to recreate another piece."
"Being able to use such a touching story as inspiration for her design, I believe in Miss Rong's professional skills."
Another judge hurriedly stood up to stop Tao Yaofang from leaving the scene and spoke facing Rong Dai.
After discussing for a few minutes, the other judges and the event organizers' staff unanimously agreed with this proposal.
Rong Dai looked at that judge with slight gratitude in her eyes. She then smiled and shook her head, "No need, I can present another piece right now."
