    The reporters then rushed to Qiao Xi and aimed the microphones at her.


    “Miss Qiao, do you admit that you copied Mr. Jason’s work?”


    “You thought that not many people knew about that magazine, so you chose that design draft. You thought that no one would find out, right?”


    “Do you regret giarizing someone else’s work and getting first ce in thepetition? Will you continue to work in the design industry in the future?”


    The reporters’ sharp questions came one after another. Without waiting for Qiao Xi to reply, countless fans at the scene cursed Qiao Xi to the skies.


    “The design industry doesn’t need a designer like her! Get out!”


    “Qiao Xi isn’t worthy of being the champion!”


    Yao Mengqing heard the scoldings around her and looked pleased.


    This time, Qiao Xi’s reputation would surely be ruined!


    Amidst the curses of the crowd, Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and casually took over a microphone. She said indifferently, “The first creator is the original, and the next one whoes after is a giarist, right?”


    Jason snorted. “Yes!”


    His design draft was released three years ago. Although he did not finish the final product, the design draft was still there. This was the most powerful evidence.


    “Qiao Xi, the truth is right in front of you. Don’t try to deny it! You’d better hurry up and apologize to Mr. Jason. He’s a magnanimous person. He won’t hold it against you!” said Lin Jie.


    Yao Mengqing also chimed in. “Xi Xi, it won’t do you any good if things get out of hand. Even if you’re not thinking about yourself, you should think about… him!”


    Him? Gu Zheng? Qiao Xi was angered to the point ofughing.


    She looked up at the design draft from three years ago on the big screen, and everyone’s gaze followed her to the big screen.


    suddenly, the screen went ck and a video appeared.


    “Everyone heard it just now. Mr. Jason also agreed that the first creator is the original. Please take a look at this video.”


    As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, the video started ying.


    ‘There was a sketch on the screen. Someone was drawing and editing on theputer. That person’s movements were smooth and meticulous.


    Although the video was fast-forwarded, one could still clearly see that this was the design process of a draft. Furthermore, it was a highly-skilled designer.


    ‘What was even more shocking was that the time disyed was four years ago!


    Everyone’s eyes widened.


    That was because they realized that the design was almost identical to Jason’s!


    Back then, Qiao Xi was watching a drama set in the Qing dynasty and suddenly had an inspiration. Following the theme of the male and female leads’ undying love, she created a design draft. It happened to be exactly the same as the topic of thepetition this time, so she used this design draft to


    participate in thepetition.


    She was too busy toplete the design draft back then, so it had been kept on herputer for so long. She had only shown it to two people during this period.


    She did not understand how the design fell into Jason’s hands, but she was sure that Jason copied her design draft because all the details were exactly the same. Even some of the ws were not changed by him.


    After the video ended, two design drafts appeared on the big screen. Although it could be seen that they were not drawn by one person, the two were basically the same.


    Those who were cursing Qiao Xi madly earlier didn’t utter a single word now. The reporters couldn’t help but be stunned as well.


    “This design draft is… the same as Jason’s?”


    “Four years ago? Does that mean Jason copied someone else’s work?”


    “Actually, if you take a closer look, it’s not hard to notice that the design draft from four years ago is exactly the same as the one Qiao Xi produced during thepetition. The flow of the lines and details are exactly the same. It can be seen that the two drafts were done by the same person.”


    “Ah! So the person who drew this design draft four years ago was Qiao Xi! Qiao Xi didn’t giarize because this design draft was originally hers, but she didn’t publish it and only chose to reproduce it during thepetition.”


    Everyone was enlightened. “Jason kept saying that he would boycott giarism, but it tuned out that he was the one who giarized and even used public opinion to attack the original creator! This way, no one would know that he was the giarist!”


    The situation suddenly changed. Those who were scolding Qiao Xi started cursing Jason, and his face turned pale.


    “No, no! It’s not true!”
