Chapter 27
Caroline’s mind was in a daze, but she knew that it was not something that would make her happy. However, compared to retaliating against Vivian, she was more unwilling to let Cynthia find a job.
She continued, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. This woman has plagiarized in our Academy.”
Cynthia’s eyes widened as she immediately retorted loudly, “I didn’t plagiarize!”
The reputation of plagiarism was fatal in the fashion industry!
Caroline glanced at Cynthia and said disdainfully, “You didn’t plagiarize? You’ve always scored in the middle for your professional courses, and she’s always in the first place. If you’re not the one copying her, then is it the one in the first place who copied yours?”
A look of helplessness appeared on Cynthia’s face. Just because she wasn’t in the first place, did that mean she had plagiarized? “The teachers have also investigated. They all said that I didn’t plagiarize.”
With a confident expression, Caroline said, “So many similar elements overlap! I think they’re just giving you a chance. Don’t take advantage of others.”
Vivian thought that the first place they were talking about should be Cora. Although they didn’t dare to say it, her eyes were sharp enough to see through people’s minds. If she put aside the fact that both of their ideas happened to overlap, she was more convinced that Cynthia wouldn’t plagiarize.
Vivian looked at Cynthia again and smiled. “Miss Cynthia, would you be willing to come to my company?”
“You... You’re willing to believe me?” Cynthia’s face was filled with disbelief.
Vivian nodded gently. “I believe in your talent and character.”
Cynthia immediately nodded in response. “I’m willing!”
Cynthia knew very well that she hadn’t plagiarized, but in the end, she was still accused of such rumors.
She had already decided that if she couldn’t find a company, she would return to the town and inherit her father’s tailor shop. She wouldn’t give up on being a designer anyway, but she didn’t expect that there would be a turning point for something that she had no hope for!
Cynthia looked at Vivian, the gratitude in her heart indescribable. She wasn’t good with words, so she only knew how to keep saying ‘thank you’.
Caroline didn’t expect Vivian to insist. She looked at the two and shook her head. “A plagiarize and a third-rate company are a perfect match!”
Vivian patted Cynthia’s shoulder. “If you really want to thank me, then work hard. The best way to fight back is to make excellent designs.”
Vivian then turned to look at Caroline and bluntly pointed out the flaws in her design. “Miss, even a third-rate clothing factory can see the flaws in your design. If you have the time to criticize and belittle others, you might as well spend more energy on improving yourself!”
In fact, Caroline had also heard this comment from her teacher, but at this time, she saw the passersby who listened to this and gave her strange looks and couldn’t help but be angry.
She slammed the coffee in her hand on the table next to her, rolled up her sleeves, and stepped forward, looking like she was going to fight Vivian.
Vivian stopped Andy from walking forward. “If you dare to touch me, I will ensure you can’t find a job! As a fashion designer, you can’t stand people’s opinions, and as a job seeker, you look down on others companies for no reason. Do you want me to help you publicize it now?”
Upon hearing this, Caroline’s anger was extinguished. If this woman really spread the news, would she still have a chance?
It had been almost half a day, and no one had come to invite her. However, quite a few people came to ask about Cynthia, whom she didn’t like. If she hadn’t mentioned the plagiarism matter in time, Cynthia would probably have gotten the job long ago. She couldn’t be worse than Cynthia. Thus, she snorted heavily, rolled her eyes at Vivian, and returned to her booth.
Vivian and Cynthia discussed the matter of reporting to the factory at nine o’clock tomorrow. Then, they went to look for the remaining three designers and successfully hired two.
On the other side, Leon had also started his first school day after transferring.
The teachers ‘offices at Tantorn Public School were all located in a six-story building. The new students had to go to the Academic Affairs Office on the first floor to collect their school bags, textbooks, and school uniforms.
When Leon arrived, it was still early. There was still more than half an hour before class started, but a girl wearing big black-rimmed glasses was already sitting inside.
Her two braids hung in front of her chest, and when she saw Leon looking at her, she immediately lowered her head in a panic, her two fingers constantly tugging at the corner of her clothes.
