CHAPTER 581: CHAPTER 579: TURNING THE TABLES

Jiayi Lin was so angry that she was lost for words, glaring at Jiang Lingling and gasping for breath.

Rose had heard the arguments between Jiayi Lin, Mai Qi, and Jiang Lingling. Because she felt guilty, she didn’t come over to cheer for Mai Qiqi. She was afraid that Yu Zimu would jump out, especially since this was in their home country, not her turf.

At that moment, she walked over and said to Jiayi Lin in English, "They are too rude and unreasonable. Arguing with them is pointless. Let’s go back and figure out a strategy."

Oh, you slippery banana peel, taking advantage of us not understanding English, and now you dare to curse at us!

Jiang Lingling didn’t quite understand, but Mai Qiqi understood every single word, after all, she graduated from the first university.

"What did you say! You are the one who’s barbaric and rude. Watch out, I’ll sue you for slander!" Mai Qiqi pointed at Rose as she spoke.

Rose was taken aback but still maintained her superior attitude, "I won’t argue with people like you. Come on, Jiayi, let’s leave." With that, she quickly left.

"You’re ’people like you’, you’re even more so!" Jiang Lingling shouted at the back of Rose’s head.

After Jiayi Lin and Rose had disappeared, Mai Qiqi bowed her head in thought. The press conference this time was indeed a bit peculiar. Wan Chu’er and Yu Zimu suddenly announced they were holding a press conference, and from start to finish it was only a month’s time. Coincidentally, Yu Zimu seemed to be well prepared, promptly presenting many design drafts. At that time, she thought Yu Zimu was really capable, but now it looks like there must be some issues.

As soon as Mai Qiqi thought about the possibility that Wan Chu’er knew something but didn’t tell her, she felt it was unfair. She hurriedly sent Jiang Lingling away and called Wan Chu’er.

Who knew Wan Chu’er would laugh after hearing her, and even asked, "What did Jiayi Lin say? Was she really angry? And that Rose, did she also accuse us of plagiarism?"

"Wan Chu’er, how much have you been hiding from me? Spit it out one by one right now, otherwise I’m going on strike!" Mai Qiqi complained loudly.

"Don’t rush, call Jiang Lingling, let’s meet at the bar tonight," Wan Chu’er said with a laugh.

"Good, that’s a great idea, it’s been a long time since I’ve relaxed at a bar. Chen Ke not only won’t accompany me, but he also doesn’t even let me go. It’s been so long since I’ve been," Mai Qiqi happily said.

Jiang Kechu was disgruntled as he watched Wan Chu’er, "You could talk anywhere, why go to a bar? That’s not a good place, and it’s too unsafe for the three of you girls to go alone. Why not pick another place?"

Wan Chu’er pursed her lips and retorted, "So you can go, but we can’t? Weren’t you also drinking there with Wei Feng? It’s not like we are a bunch of lonely men and women."

Upon hearing her mention that incident, Jiang Kechu got a headache.

"Didn’t we agree not to talk about that anymore? Wasn’t the lesson from last time enough? It’s for your own good; that place is full of all sorts of riffraff."

Wan Chu’er saw him retreat and couldn’t help but hum proudly, "Whoever dares to trouble me is unlucky. I haven’t had a good workout for a long time, and should anything actually happen, I’ll just treat it as a chance to exercise. Mai Qiqi often goes there to relax, and I think it’s quite nice. Some bars are very reputable, don’t worry."

Jiang Kechu couldn’t win the argument and feared that continuing would bring up his embarrassing incident, so he reluctantly closed his mouth and turned to go up to the rooftop terrace.

Chuchu is learning from Mai Qiqi; Chen Ke needs to step up and be more assertive, not letting Mai Qiqi mess around all the time.

After Chen Ke received the call from Jiang Kechu, it took him a while to snap out of it. This was obviously Captain Jiang unable to control his sister-in-law and now redirecting to have him handle Mai Qiqi in a roundabout way. The problem was, he couldn’t handle Mai Qiqi either.

But since Captain Jiang had spoken, he couldn’t just ignore it. After some thought, he still ended up making a call to Mai Qiqi.

"Qiqi, are you busy tonight?"

"Oh, you and your sister-in-law made plans to hit the bar?"

"That... I don’t like you going there, can you not go?... No? It’s already been arranged? Then go ahead, just be safe."

Phew, mission accomplished.

Mai Qiqi looked at her phone and muttered, "Why so strange, what’s going on!"

Bar.

Mai Qiqi and Jiang Lingling both stared at Wan Chu’er with bright eyes.

Wan Chu’er calmly said, "Someone has plagiarized."

Ah? Mai Qiqi and Jiang Lingling both opened their mouths in surprise.

"But it was Rose who plagiarized Director Yu." Wan Chu’er was pleased with the reactions from Mai Qiqi and Jiang Lingling and threw out the second bombshell.

Mai Qiqi couldn’t help but slap Wan Chu’er, "Can’t you just say it all at once? You did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

Wan Chu’er laughed, "Hehe, I did it on purpose."

"Hurry up and tell us, Sister Qiqi, you got interrupted," urged Jiang Lingling, dying of curiosity.

So Wan Chu’er shared the story of the feud between Yu Zimu and Rose, then said, "Our press conference is indeed aimed at Zhi Mei, as well as Rose, and also at those harboring ill intentions."

Jiang Lingling completely ignored Wan Chu’er’s latter words, deeply immersed in Director Yu’s tragic story, repeatedly exclaiming in astonishment.

"No wonder Director Yu never uses his right hand, it turns out it was destroyed by that bitch Rose. Director Yu is really pitiful, such great talent, yet never met a good person."

Mai Qiqi and Wan Chu’er exchanged glances, with Mai Qiqi saying, "Don’t you think Yu Zimu was just too naive? Duped all these years, I don’t think Rose is that unfathomably clever."

People’s perceptions certainly differ, but Mai Qiqi is more similar to her. Wan Chu’er very much felt that it made sense for Mai Qiqi to become best friends with her.

Jiang Lingling looked at Mai Qiqi unhappily, "Sister Qiqi, don’t talk about Director Yu like that. With his talent, how could he be stupid? He was just focused on his own business and got harmed by those wicked people."

"Alright, alright, you’re right." Mai Qiqi didn’t argue with Jiang Lingling, but turned her head to ask Wan Chu’er the topic she was interested in, "Let’s get back to this press conference, you just mentioned it’s aimed at those with ulterior motives, what does that mean? Is there another story there?"

Wan Chu’er gave her an approving look and said, "Lin Jiayi bribed our studio’s assistant Xiao Mi. Yu Zimu and I let Xiao Mi turn the tables and extorted a sum of money from Lin Jiayi, while also letting Xiao Mi pass four design drafts to Lin Jiayi."

"What?" Mai Qiqi and Jiang Lingling both asked in shock. Assistant Xiao Mi was the one in charge of ensuring Director Yu had three meals a day.

Jiang Lingling said, "Doesn’t that make Lin Jiayi a thief crying ’Stop thief’? We really underestimated her, to think she could come up with such a scheme."

This incident once again refreshed Jiang Lingling’s perspective on Lin Jiayi. How did she ever blindly follow such a person before? Jiang Lingling felt she must have been blind at the time.
