Chapter 124 Plagiarism incident
Jia Lulu's face was slightly pale, her eyes were full of innocence and determination, she looked directly at Qiao Qin like a clear stream, her voice was sincere and earnest: "Sister Qiao, I really didn't plagiarize, please believe me."
However, the whispers around her were like cold arrows, ruthlessly piercing through her weak defense.
"The school announcement has already come out. Are they still wrongly accusing you? Miss, don't be fooled by her appearance."
Qiao Qin was not easily shaken by the rumors around her. She only believed in her own eyes and inner judgment. She was silent for a moment, then handed Jia Lulu a piece of paper and a pen, with a deep light flashing in her eyes.
"Since you insist that you did not plagiarize, prove it with your actual strength." Qiao Qin's words were concise and powerful, like the morning dew, fresh and firm.
Jia Lulu took the paper and pen with trembling hands, her face filled with deep gratitude.
After hearing about her suspected plagiarism experience, other interviewers rejected her application without hesitation, but this one gave her a chance to prove herself again.
Jia Lulu sat down next to Qiao Qin and began her design journey with full concentration.
She knew very well that this was her only chance to turn the tables, so she was more focused than ever before, and every stroke was filled with her passion and hope.
Time passed quietly without anyone noticing. The sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset spread over the entire playground, stretching Jia Lulu's figure out. She seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and was immersed in her own design world.
at the same time.
Qiao Qin sat there for the whole afternoon but no other student came for the interview. Although she was a big prize winner and had achievements that all designers envied, her studio was too simple. Everything was still in the start-up phase of a small workshop. How could she possibly compete with other large companies?
It was not until it got dark that Jia Lulu finally put down her pen. She gently rubbed her wrists, which had become stiff from painting for so long, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
She picked up the design drawing. Although she could only draw a rough sketch due to time constraints, the design ideas were clearly visible. She handed the drawing to Qiao Qin with confidence, looking forward to her comments.
After a while.
There was a gleam of satisfaction in Qiao Qin's eyes and she nodded gently. She didn't expect to find such a suitable talent here.
She gracefully handed the employment contract to Jia Lulu and said with a smile, "If there is no problem, just sign it."
Jia Lulu took the contract, her heart aching with excitement, her hands shaking unconsciously.
When she saw the staggering salary figure on the contract, she was stunned for a moment as if she had been electrocuted.
That salary is almost comparable to that of old employees in large companies. For a newly graduated student, it is an incredible annual salary.
She widened her eyes, looked at Qiao Qin in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "Qiao... Sister Qiao, is there an extra zero in the salary above?"
Qiao Qin smiled and shook her head. Her eyes were firm and gentle. "That's right, Lulu, this is what you deserve. I believe in your ability and potential. Besides, the studio is still in its infancy. It will be very busy and you will have to work hard."
Jia Lulu's eyes were slightly moist. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then solemnly signed her name on the contract.
"I certainly will!"
Jia Lulu's eyes sparkled with deep gratitude, like a clear spring, full of expectations and determination for the future. Her body seemed to be filled with an invisible force, and she was full of fighting spirit, determined to carry forward the studio and live up to Qiao Qin's deep trust in her.
When the students who were watching saw the tempting annual salary figure on the contract, they felt mixed emotions.
Some people regretted why they didn't take the courage to sign up for the interview; some people were jealous why such an opportunity didn't fall on their heads. However, when they mustered up the courage to go forward and try, Qiao Qin had already packed her luggage and prepared to leave.
"Sorry, today's recruitment ends here. I have to go back." Qiao Qin's voice was calm and firm. What she needed was not followers who were tempted by money, but a true entrepreneurial partner who shared the same ideals, passion and talent.
It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality; this is Qiao Qin’s principle and also her expectation for the future studio.
......
The morning sun has just spread across the earth, and a new day has quietly begun.
With full enthusiasm and anticipation, Qiao Qin stepped into this new workplace with brisk and firm steps.
As soon as she entered the office, Qiao Qin caught sight of the busy figure.
Jia Lulu arrived at the studio early and was cleaning every corner of the office carefully. When she saw Qiao Qin, Jia Lulu immediately stopped what she was doing and a warm smile appeared on her face.
"Sister Qiao, good morning!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, full of youthful vitality.
Qiao Qin smiled and nodded, her eyes lingering on the rag in Jia Lulu's hand for a moment. She couldn't help but frown slightly, and asked in confusion: "Lulu, these things can be left to Auntie, why do you have to do it yourself?"
Jia Lulu shook her head gently, with a determined look on her face.
She smiled and explained, "Sister Qiao, I don't have anything to do right now, so I might as well clean it up."
Otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease taking such a high annual salary if she didn't do anything.
Qiao Qin thought about it and finally let Jia Lulu go.
Her words also forced Qiao Qin to face up to a serious problem - although the studio was on the right track, they did not have a stable source of customers.
Qiao Qin closed her eyes and thought, trying to find a clue in her chaotic thoughts. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and a person flashed through her mind. It was a friend she met at the design competition in Country A.
Qiao Qin quickly contacted Ellison, and when she told him about the studio's predicament and request, he expressed his willingness to help without hesitation.
What’s more coincidental is that Ellison was on a business trip in China at the time, so the two agreed to have dinner at the Royal Hotel that evening to discuss cooperation matters in detail.
This unexpected surprise swept away all Qiao Qin's worries.
She breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and said to Jia Lulu outside: "Free up some time tonight, I'll take you somewhere."
