Zhou Xintang gripped the microphone in her hand tightly. Zhou Nan mentioned that she had picked it up in her dormitory. Did she and Gu Mang live in the same dormitory? She devised the scheme so that Zhou Nan would not be present for tonight’s celebration.

The original draft of the design was Gu Mang’s?! The opera house was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop and the only lights on were the camera lights. In an instant, the blood in Zhou Xintang froze.

No way, she definitely could not admit that she stole another’s draft!

With her back tense, Zhou Xintang spoke, “Gu Mang, could it be that Ming City High School cannot afford to lose? Our Experimental High School won the award so you’re slandering me?”

Princ.i.p.al Fu frowned. Although Ming City High School’s academics were not good enough these past few years, a student was in no position to look down on the school!

Zhou Xintang’s words could be heard throughout the entire opera house.

Lu Yang and the rest’s lungs nearly burst from anger as they ran from the student’s seats.

Qin Yaozhi wanted to rush up and reprimand her but was held back by Qin Rui.

Tao Jing stared at Zhou Xintang with chilly eyes. “Slander? Given your abilities, are you able to come up with a draft like this?”

Hearing his words, Qi Songyan’s face turned green. “Tao Jing, what are you hinting at? Are you looking down on my student? Why can’t Xintang design a piece like this! Furthermore, can we really believe Gu Mang?”

Why would she throw such a good design away? Who was she lying to!

The leaders of Experimental High School and Ming City High School stared speechlessly at each other. Qi Songyan’s words made sense. Why would she throw away such a good design draft instead of developing it further?

Tao Jing’s voice was reverberating with anger. “It is Gu Mang’s matter whether she throws it away or not. However, as her teacher, do you not have any idea what Zhou Xintang’s abilities are?”

Qi Songyan smirked. “Does President Tao think that people can’t improve? If you claim that this is Gu Mang’s work, are you trying to say that Xintang stole Gu Mang’s piece? Where’s your evidence? Show your evidence!”

Zhou Xintang held on tightly to this argument. Her eyes reddened as though she were aggrieved and infuriated.

Her voice trembled. “Don’t slander me indiscriminately. I spent several months trying to finish this draft and you guys are slandering me publicly like this. What motive do you have? Are you trying to tap into my popularity?”

Since Gu Mang threw away the original draft, she would not have any evidence. Furthermore, she was the first to launch this clothing. Even if the original draft was by Gu Mang, the latter could do nothing about it if there was no evidence.

When the leaders of Experimental High School witnessed their honor student being wronged, they stood up for her. “That’s right, we need evidence. You can’t just slander our school’s students without evidence.”

The students from Experimental High School seconded in an imposing manner. “That’s right, give us the evidence!”

Fatty cursed, “Are they laying siege to my Sister Mang?”

The chilliness in Gu Mang’s eyes were terrifying and her eyes carried a hue of sinister red.

…

Qin Fang could not believe that his words came through. The cat fight was pretty aggressive.

The reporters were filled with ebullience. They quickly deleted the drafts which praised Zhou Xintang as a genius designer who only appeared once in a century.

They re-took the photographs and uploaded them along with details on the cat fight to Weibo.

A reporter said, “Zhou Xintang is becoming famous.”

Another one nodded. “Gu Mang isn’t a n.o.body either. She is the s...o...b..z’s top ch.o.r.eographer. Look at her keeping silent. She surely doesn’t have evidence. Given how she fought with Zhou Xintang, do you think the latter’s fans would let her off easily?”
