Chapter 1576 - 1576 Plagiarism Storm
1576 Plagiarism Storm
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled into a smile. Kang Qingzhi had already taken the first wrong step!
A lie needed to be covered up by countless lies. She wanted to see how Kang Qingzhi would cover this up. One wrong word could ruin her reputation.
At Kang Corporation.
Due to Kang Qingzhi framing Bright Moon, the Kang family had recently been boycotted by netizens. Although the Kang family had already pushed all the blame on Xu Ling, it still could not change everyone’s hatred for the Kang family. After all, they had all seen that video. At that time, the Kang family was arrogant and forced Bright Moon to give up clarifying things.
After that, Kang Qingzhi risked her life to save someone. Her reputation was cleared up a little, and everyone thought that she had a good character. Just as the Kang family’s reputation rose, Kang Qingzhi was suspected of plagiarizing Miss Mu Jin’s work.
Kang Qingzhi’s perfumes were indeed very similar to Miss Mu Jin’s work. The spices used and the smell were almost the same.
Kang Qingzhi, who had originally cleared her name a little, got into a plagiarism scandal. She was scolded by the netizens and became a trending topic again.
Kang Jichuan held an emergency meeting, and the shareholders protested unhappily. “Young Master Kang, don’t forget that Kang Junjie has already signed a bet agreement with us. It’s effective from now on. It hasn’t been long, but your sister is exposed for plagiarism. What are you siblings doing?!”
Kang Jichuan’s expression darkened as he retorted loudly, “Those are all rumors! Qingzhi wouldn’t have plagiarized!”
The shareholder snorted. “It’s useless to tell us this. Miss Kang’s work is similar to Miss Mu Jin’s. Miss Mu Jin is a genius girl in the perfume world and everyone believes in her. Miss Kang has offended Miss Mu Jin, so she’ll definitely incite public anger. Once it’s confirmed that Miss Kang plagiarized, not only will the Kang family be affected, but all of us will be implicated too!”
At this moment, the shareholders were not in the mood to coax this young master. Kang Qingzhi was embroiled in a scandal and caused a huge loss to Kang Corporation. At first, they could not bicker with her on account of Kang Jichuan, but now that Mu Jin was involved, they could not tolerate it anymore.
“President Kang, you have to remember that you signed a bet agreement. If the business fails, you have to compensate with 4.8 billion yuan. If this continues, will you have the money to compensate?”
With that, the shareholders stood up angrily and left. They were already extremely disappointed in Kang Jichuan. As for Kang Qingzhi, could she not just focus on making good perfumes? Why did she have to court death and plagiarize Miss Mu Jin?
Even though Kang Corporation had been explaining to the public that Kang Qingzhi did not plagiarize, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that their perfume styles were extremely similar. Everyone would not believe them just because they explained themselves.
Watching the shareholders leave resolutely, Kang Jichuan leaned against the chair dispiritedly. Emotions surged in his heart. He did not believe that Qingzhi would plagiarize. There must be a misunderstanding.
He had long heard of the name Mu Jin. She was known as a genius girl in the perfume world. Even if Qing Zhi wanted to plagiarize, she would not be so stupid as to plagiarize Mu Jin.
Moreover, Qingzhi was talented in perfumery and was so kind-hearted. Back then, when Xi Xi stole her perfume recipes, she did not care at all and was even willing to give them to Xi Xi. Qingzhi, a kind girl, would not plagiarize someone else’s hard work.
However, now that everyone thought that Qingzhi had plagiarized, he had to give a reasonable explanation to prove Qingzhi’s innocence.
Kang Jichuan slammed the documents on the table onto the floor. His eyes were red and filled with anger.
Qingzhi had been safe and sound all these years. Now that she was suddenly exposed for plagiarism, there was no doubt who was behind this. It was just that he did not expect Xi Xi to hate Qingzhi so much that she actually wanted to completely destroy her!
At the same time, in the Kang family’s villa.
Kang Qingzhi stared at the comments on her phone with resentment.
Who was Mu Jin? When did she plagiarize Mu Jin’s work? She did not know Mu Jin at all and had never smelled her work. Why was everyone saying that she plagiarized Mu Jin’s work?
It would be fine if it was just one perfume that happened to be the same, but there were actually five perfumes that were similar to Mu Jin’s work. Moreover, those perfumes were released by Mu Jin four years ago, while she released them three years ago, so she could not refute the rumors easily.
Kang Qingzhi clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails digging into her palms. The perfumes she made were done using Qiao Xi’s perfume recipes five years ago, which meant they were created even earlier than Mu Jin’s perfumes. Even if someone had plagiarized, it was definitely Mu Jin who plagiarized Qiao Xi. However, she could not say these words.
