NOVPUB796: Chapter 795 You’ve Lost Everything!
796 -795 You’ve Lost Everything!
The aura of Killing Intent was overwhelming, yet only Livia could feel it, a sentiment purposely targeted by Hao Jian.
Seeing Livia’s suddenly pale face, Hao Jian felt a surge of satisfaction.
Such a woman needed to be taught a lesson; if not, she would always consider herself the best in the world.
And now, Hao Jian was determined to properly teach this unreasonable woman a lesson, not only because she had bullied Yuan Shanshan but also because of her disagreeable character.
“I just want to ask, besides this so-called ‘Goldsmiths’ Fine Craftsmanship and Design Competition’ championship, have you heard of any other awards she has won?”
Hao Jian looked coldly at the group of people, who were like weathercocks, and said coldly, “Shanshan has loved jewelry from a young age, especially jewelry design.”
“One could say she has always loved designing, which provided her with abundant inspiration and a strong foundation.
And now, I’ve heard someone speaking ill of Shanshan, even calling her a plagiarist?”
“I want to ask, the awards Shanshan has won in international competitions are not limited to this one.
For example, a long time ago, she won the championship at a global jewelry design competition held in the USA, where there was even a sixty-year-old master of jewelry design competing.”
“If you care about jewelry design, you would know who this elderly person is, right?
Yes, he is the top jewelry designer of Io Jewelry, the largest jewelry manufacturer in the USA, Reed Blaine!
Even he has nothing but praise for Shanshan’s jewelry, let alone the other contestants.”
“That time, her design won the admiration of all the contestants.
Besides that, she has won seven other awards.
Are you saying that every single one of these awards was plagiarized?
So many people allowed her to copy from them?” Hao Jian scoffed, finding these people before him incredibly foolish to be deceived.
“Master Reed?!”
Hearing Hao Jian’s words, everyone present, including Livia, changed their expressions dramatically.
This elderly man was a globally recognized master designer, whose every creation was worth millions, not to mention those exquisitely crafted fine pieces.
Those were invaluable, and now, listening to this man’s words, it seemed that a long time ago, Yuan Shanshan had already beaten this man and had even won his admiration in that global competition.
If Yuan Shanshan was highly praised by Reed, how could she possibly be a plagiarist?
Such a claim was utterly absurd!
How could such a top-tier jewelry designer go against his conscience and steal someone else’s inspiration?!
“Moreover, the jewelry Shanshan recently designed in our country has also been very popular among consumers, with sales having just exceeded one billion.
I want to ask you, could these achievements of Shanshan’s have been obtained through plagiarizing others’ creative inspirations?!”
Hao Jian calmly delivered this statement that once again shocked everyone present.
If what Hao Jian said was true, then it meant there was absolutely no chance Yuan Shanshan had plagiarized, as that likelihood was incredibly low!
If plagiarism could win a world championship and bring high sales volumes to one’s jewelry, then there would be no such thing as originality left in this world.
The things Hao Jian spoke of were indeed true, and he disdained lying.
Initially, these words should have been spoken by Yuan Shanshan herself, but given her low-key nature and how she had almost been moved to tears, Hao Jian had no choice but to step forward.
As for these matters, Hao Jian was not worried about people not believing them, as they were all readily verifiable with a simple online search.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
An agreeing voice erupted, immediately causing everyone to focus their gaze on Wade, who from the beginning had held his opinion.
At this moment, his face was flushed with excitement as he gazed at Yuan Shanshan’s face, full of admiration.
Master Reed was his idol!
Yet here was Ms.
Yuan Shanshan, who had previously competed against Master Reed and, reportedly, even won.
This was absolutely huge news!
“Now, Shanshan is a rising star with limitless potential, and you, Livia, do you think it’s possible to surpass Shanshan, or perhaps Master Reed?”
At that moment, Hao Jian raised his voice slightly, his eyes coolly focusing on the angry-faced Livia, scoffing as he said, “I think you’ve never considered this, have you?
You only know how to fight for a championship that was never yours, without ever realizing that you have become a washed-up jewelry designer!”
“Conceited women are often quite selfish, unable to tolerate anyone better or more capable than themselves, and you, Livia, are surely one of those conceited women.
You envy Shanshan, her talent, and especially her championship!
But what can you do about it?
You’ve lost, one word, lost!”
“You’ve lost to yourself, you’ve lost to jewelry, you’ve lost everything, and you still don’t realize, where have you hidden your precious jewelry designing heart?!”
Hao Jian’s words, ringing and resolute, instantly ignited the passion in the hearts of the jewelry designers present.
They looked at Livia with eyes full of contempt and disdain, just as they had looked at Yuan Shanshan before.
A real jewelry designer must never lose their original passion, yet many among them had discarded this passion for fame and power.
But today, with Hao Jian’s words, they found their passion renewed, realizing that there are always greater talents out there.
Yet among these people, there was one exception, the incredibly conceited Livia!
And when Livia heard this insult, her face turned an ashen hue, especially when Hao Jian called her a “washed-up designer.” She was so infuriated, she nearly lost her mind.
This jab had hit her sore spot, and she knew Hao Jian was not wrong—she indeed was a washed-up designer, which was why she was so angry.
Hao Jian had touched her sore spot!
“Fine!
Fine!
Fine!
Remember this!”
Caught off guard by the swiftly changing situation, Livia looked at the scornful eyes around her, filled with resentment, resenting Hao Jian!
After repeating the word “fine” three times, Livia completely lost her temper and shouted directly at Hao Jian, “Bastard!
Yuan Shanshan, that bitch, only won the championship by plagiarizing someone else’s work, no matter what, this is an undeniable fact.
You think you can clear her name, who do you think you are?!”
With a cold smirk in his heart, Hao Jian’s expression remained placid, not at all perturbed by Livia’s words.
He knew, of course, he knew the reason why Yuan Shanshan had won the championship last time, and his mention of plagiarism was even more laughable….
Yuan Shanshan’s award-winning design was created with him.
Plagiarism?
Besides himself, whom else could she possibly plagiarize?
Thus, Hao Jian was disdainful.
This woman was totally ignorant of the facts, bringing up things she heard through the grapevine to attack Yuan Shanshan.
Hao Jian really wanted to call this woman brainless, but then he thought about it and decided there was no need for him to say it, as she was already brainless.
“What, can’t say anything now?
You ignorant fool, you’ve been fooled by that bitch!
You’ve all been fooled by her!”
“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t bother talking to a kind of prostitute like you.”
Hao Jian gave the woman a cold look, then shrugged indifferently, took Yuan Shanshan’s hand, gathered their luggage, and planned to leave.
Rather than wasting time and words here with this woman, it would be better to head back to their room to rest.
Since they had landed, they hadn’t rested at all; initially, because of Ming Li’an and another man, which had made Hao Jian utterly uninterested; he had been expecting beautiful women to greet them.
But unexpectedly, it had been two big men, making even eating seem unappealing, and now they were headed to rest, only to encounter this unreasonable woman…
“Bastard!
Hold it right there!
Who did you call a prostitute?!”
Hearing the word “prostitute,” Livia jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face flushed with rage as she pointed at Hao Jian and shouted angrily.
This was no longer just a matter of losing face but a matter concerning her reputation!
“Heh, do you really want me to spell it out?”
Hao Jian turned around, shook his head disdainfully, then fixed his gaze firmly on Livia and calmly said, “If you aren’t afraid of being exposed, then I don’t mind spelling it out.”
“Spell out what?!
A clean hand desires no washing!
That’s a common saying in Huaxia!”
Livia, unnerved by Hao Jian’s gaze, quickly shifted everyone’s attention, then dodged his clear eyes that seemed able to see right through everything.
Yet her heart was churning like stormy seas.
What kind of man was this?!
“Well said about having nothing to fear if one is in the right!”
Hao Jian chuckled lightly and shook his head; this woman truly wouldn’t cry until she saw the coffin!
If you’re not afraid, then what should I fear?
In the end, speaking out could only tarnish your reputation, not mine.
Meanwhile, Yuan Shanshan, standing beside Hao Jian, watched him curiously.
How did this man know everything?
And she knew him well enough that, in some matters, Hao Jian never lied, and this time, since he said so, it must be true.
