Chapter 179: Lu Ziyi, I’m Very Disappointed in You!
Tang Jie’er furrowed her delicate brows, examining it closely. “Hmm, it really doesn’t look detailed or complete enough. Perhaps one of the ideas in it is still an unfinished drawing draft.”
“Perhaps Ye Chuxiao brought the wrong one, but since she submitted this drawing draft, it’s her contest entry.”
“It’s already past nine o’clock for submissions, past the deadline. We can’t make special exceptions for Ye Chuxiao to let her submit a final draft, can we? Right, Father?”
Tang Jie’er looked at her Father, Tang Hong.
Chairman Tang, who had been laughing heartily moments ago, now had a grim expression. For the Tang Group, the relocation project was a major undertaking, and the entire Tang Group attached great importance to it. Soliciting image icons from the public was one of the important aspects.
The Tang Group was very sincere, offering substantial monetary rewards to designers, holding lectures and training, and being very considerate and thoughtful in their reception details.
Even he, the Chairman, had personally attended several lectures and met with various designers. After the design drafts were submitted, he came to take a look immediately.
It could be said that the Tang Group and he, as Chairman, had shown great affirmation and respect towards the designers.
But this young girl, Ye Chuxiao, didn’t put in any effort at all, submitting an unfinished drawing draft like this! Did she have the same respect for the Tang Group?
Hasty and immature! The Tang Group didn’t lack her design drawing!
Tang Hong said in a cold, stern voice, “The Tang Group will not make special exceptions for Ye Chuxiao. Given her improper attitude, bring out this design draft and disqualify her from the competition!”
The two Directors nodded solemnly, agreeing with Chairman Tang’s decision.
That would be for the best! Tang Jie’er went to retrieve the design drawing from Lu Ziyi’s hand.
Lu Ziyi moved his right hand to the left, avoiding Tang Jie’er.
“Ziyi,” Tang Jie’er said with a professional demeanor, “our Tang Group has decided to disqualify Ye Chuxiao from the competition. Are you still going to protect her?”
“This is the result of Ye Chuxiao’s own problematic attitude and her disrespect towards our Tang Group!”
“However, as a contest entry, our Tang Group will still archive this insincere design drawing. Please return Ye Chuxiao’s design drawing to me.”
“Hold on,” Lu Ziyi said sternly, “let us take a closer look at this design drawing!”
Lu Ziyi flipped the design drawing over and swiftly tore off the seal with the designer’s information. Indeed, he saw the name “Ye Chuxiao.”
“Ziyi!” Tang Jie’er seemed to not understand Lu Ziyi’s actions at all. “What are you doing? We know Ye Chuxiao is your assistant. Are you going to disregard the fairness of the competition and tear up the design drawing so Ye Chuxiao can submit a final draft?”
“Ziyi!” Tang Hong also spoke up. “The interpretation rights of the competition belong to our Tang Group. Ye Chuxiao has already been disqualified, so don’t help her anymore!”
Lu Ziyi’s expression was stern as he retorted, “This is the Tang Group acting unfairly and tampering with the contest entries! This is not the design drawing Ye Chuxiao submitted at all; her design drawing was swapped out! A large company, having publicly solicited design drawings, should have the magnanimity to treat every participant equally! What is the meaning of replacing one participant’s work?”
“Ziyi, are you suspecting the Tang Group of operating behind the scenes?” Tang Hong’s expression worsened. “What reason would our Tang Group have to use underhanded means against a little girl?”
