Design concept?

  After Zhuang Nainai uttered these words, the conference room grew a little quieter.

  Then, some people couldn’t hold back their sniggers.

  Because design concepts were so subjective. How could they be taken as proof to incriminate someone?

  Also, didn’t designers justify their design concepts however they wanted?

  In a moment, everyone below the stage lowered their heads.

  Even Ji Chen, who was standing by Si Zhengting’s side, couldn’t help but lower his head. The corner of his lips curled upwards. He couldn’t help but look at Si Zhengting again. Sir didn’t stop Madam from saying whatever she wanted to say, but…… what is his opinion on this?

  Even he knew that design concepts weren’t a convincing way of proving her innocence.

  Anyone could come up with a design concept for an article of clothing.

  Even Mi Nuo hadn’t expected Zhuang Nainai to suggest this as their method of facing-off when she had solemnly challenged Mi Nuo to a face-off.

  She paused for a moment, then smirked as she replied, “Alright~”


  She voiced her acceptance cleanly.

  Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips and nodded toward Ji Chen.

  Ji Chen turned on the projector and projected the work “Memento” on the screen.

  That was Mi Nuo’s “Memento,” which had won the first prize in that design competition all those years ago.

  Zhuang Nainai looked toward Mi Nuo. “For the purpose of a fair challenge, you describe the design concept behind this work first.”


  To the audience, this work was Mi Nuo’s. Of course it was for Mi Nuo to describe it. And the audience would be prejudiced by their first impressions. They would definitely feel that what Mi Nuo said was right. When it was Zhuang Nainai’s turn to explain her ambiguous design concept, everyone would think that she was trying to bluff her way through. Thus, in any case, it would be even more difficult for Zhuang Nainai to prove her innocence.

  Ji Chen got very anxious as he heard this. He couldn’t help but look panicked. But when he turned and looked at Si Zhengting, he saw how calm the latter was. Si Zhengting’s eyes were narrowed as he stared at Zhuang Nainai.

  Mi Nuo lowered her head. She smirked.

  Li Yufeng was talking about them setting some kind of trap. But was this all Zhuang Nainai had up her sleeve?

  This was laughable and making a mockery out of herself. Did she think she was playing house here?

  Today, she would make Zhuang Nainai face reality. Mi Nuo had been in this line of business for way longer than Zhuang Nainai had been.

  How lofty “design concept” sounded! But wasn’t the design industry all about following trends? All clothing was more or less the same. She definitely would not believe in things like talent any longer.

  On the other hand, even if there really were people who had a talent for design, had any layperson ever understood the works of great maestros, especially those works by oil painters?

  After she thought this through, she felt calmer. She had a determined smile on her face. She raised her head and smirked as she replied, “No problem.”


  After she said this, she looked at the reporters below and pointed at that formal gown.

  “Memento” was a formal tube gown. The accent colors were white and green. The gown was white-based and had a green floral print. It looked fresh and young.

  This article of clothing didn’t have any influence from Chinese culture. One could tell that it was made by an inexperienced student just by taking a glance at it. However, it was easy on the eyes.

  Mi Nuo turned around and took a laser pointer before pointing at the wall that the image was projected on. “This work is called ‘Memento.’ It tells the story of my first love back in high school. You can see that the accent colors are white and green. The green symbolizes trees. We had poured our hearts out to each other under the trees, so I named it ‘Memento.’ Here……”


  She pointed out some fine details and explained why she had put them in. She was able to tell a story for each of them.
