Chapter 396: Promise Me One Condition
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Qin Xinying hastened to go to the show field. The show would be held the day after tomorrow, so the show field had almost been set up and designers were helping models try on the clothes. When Qin Xinying arrived, Vivian was busy helping the models try on the clothes. Qin Xinying walked up to Vivian and asked impatiently, “Vivian, have the models begun to try on the clothes?”
They could handle this themselves. Why did Vivian ask her to come over? This was a waste of her time!
Vivian looked back at Qin Xinying and raised her eyebrows, saying, “Yes, we’ll have a rehearsal tomorrow, and our show will be held the day after tomorrow.”
Qin Xinying looked around at the show field and asked absent-mindedly, “Didn’t President Qiao say he would come to see the models try on the clothes? Is he here?”
Vivian looked at her and her eyes had a cold gleam, but she remained expressionless and shook her head. “No, but Miss Qin, I have something to talk about with you.”
“What is it?” Qin Xinying was disappointed to not be able to see Qiao Liang here. She came here just to spend more time with Qiao Liang, but he didn’t come here!
“Why don’t the models try on the clothes I designed?” Qin Xinying looked at the models, frowned and turned her eyes to Vivian, asking angrily, “Vivian, this is not a mistake that you, the design director of the company is supposed to make, is it? Where are my clothes?”
Looking at Qin Xinying who kept speaking without giving her any chance to speak, Vivian frowned in dislike and coldly said, “That’s why I called you here.”

“Hum?” Qin Xinying frowned and looked at Vivian. “Is there anything wrong with my clothes? Or with the models?”
Noticing that Vivian’s face grew darker and darker, Qin Xinying thought she guessed right. She scowled, narrowed her eyes at Vivian and said harshly, “That’s ridiculous! How can our company make such a stupid mistake? Is it because of your negligence or you did this on purpose?”
“Miss Qin, if you continue to speak to me like this, I don’t think it’s necessary for us to talk. I’m sorry to tell you that your clothes won’t be displayed. There is nothing wrong with the models or the clothes. We just won’t display your clothes.”
Qin Xinying’s face darkened and she snapped, “What do you mean? My clothes won’t be displayed? Are you kidding me?”
“No, this is the decision of the company. Miss Qin, from now on, you’re no longer our designer, and we won’t use your clothes any longer.”
“We’ve signed a contract. I will sue you if you breach the contract!” Qin Xinying clenched her hands. Is it because of Qiao Liang? Did he do this to her to protect Tang Xi and that Xiao Rou?
“Miss Qin, I think you know what you have done. Merry meet, merry part. Why don’t you just leave quietly to avoid embarrassment? That’s good for you.”
Qin Xinying sneered at Vivian’s words. She said loudly, “Your company used my designs. Now the fashion show is going to be held and you suddenly told me you wanted to terminate the contract with me? Do you think I will accept this? Or this is the way how the Qin’s Group treats designers? Squeeze every designer’s residual value out of them and then kick them out? Then which designer will still dare to serve your company?”

“You’re not in a place to say these words. I don’t show you the evidence, for your reputation’s sake. If you speaks this way, I don’t have to be gentle to you!”
“Haha, what are you going to do? Call the media?” Qin Xinying stared at Vivian threateningly and snapped, “I have the Qin family behind me. Although my family is not very powerful, they won’t allow me to be bullied! Do you think you can bully me at no price?”
“We’ll hire any designer except one who doesn’t have any gift in design but plagiarizes others’ works. So, Miss Qin, that’s why we can’t cooperate with you.” Vivian looked coldly at Qin Xinying. “Miss Qin, if you don’t have any gift in designing, you’d be better off not being a designer. You entered our company with the help of others’ works. I was to blame with not investigating you properly, but now I have collected enough evidence about what you’ve done. Do you want me to publish the evidence or will you leave yourself?”
Qin Xinying paused and then looked at Vivian in shock. How could she know what she had done? Did Tang Xi tell her this? No, Tang Xi was too proud to tell anyone about this. She would just take those design drawings as her alms to her. She would never tell the Qin’s Group that she stole her works!
Yes, perhaps Vivian just said that to intimidate me. She actually doesn’t have any evidence. That’s why she’s trying to make me leave myself. I can’t panic!
Qin Xinying calmed down, looked at Vivian and coldly said, “Vivian, why don’t you show me the evidence? You said I plagiarized others’ works. Then where is the evidence? You’re slandering me. I can sue you!”
“Okay, then let’s meet in the court.” Vivian turned around, ignoring Qin Xinying. She could tell from Qin Xinying’s expressions that she did steal someone else’s designs!
Vivian felt disgusted. She had liked Qin Xinying’s works, but now it turned out that they actually belonged to someone else.
Qin Xinying clenched her hands tightly; she keeps telling herself that they have no evidence, so I don’t have to be afraid. She said, “Vivian, I can leave the Qin’s Group, but you have to promise me one condition. As long as you promise me that, I will leave.”
