After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 1068 - : Ruined (2)

Chapter 1068: Ruined (2)

**

The next day, in the Muston Dukedom.

The product launch event for Above the Clouds had finally begun after a long buildup online.

While the new generation of drones was the focal point of the event, the audience was more interested in the new smartphones and computers.

Ji Longtai worked tirelessly to promote the event, inviting several reputable families from the Sijiu City to attend.

[Wow, Ji Qingwei is really impressive! She’s the chief designer trusted by Above the Clouds? How old is she? Not even twenty yet—truly a hero among the youth!]

...

[The daughter of a wealthy family is indeed remarkable; she’s much better than those celebrities.]

[I can’t believe Ji Qingwei has such ability. If she can do all that, why does she need to plagiarize my wife’s ‘Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains’? Do you have a memory span of seven seconds?]

[Stop saying that Si Fuqing is worse than the wealthy; do you have any idea how many wealthy families are trying to invite her? There were luxury cars lining up outside the hotel! Private jets even flew in. If you lack intelligence, don’t post foolish comments online. I heard the Yu family has been continuously turned away, and what’s the Ji family compared to that?]

[Let’s not even mention her three heavyweight endorsements; being first in the international joint examination is enough to last a lifetime. She’s a legendary idol.]

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the launch event officially commenced.

The guests began to enter.

This was also Lang Xuan’s first appearance in public. He wore a black suit, his tall and straight posture complemented by his handsome features.

[Wow, the president of Above the Clouds is so handsome!]

[I strongly suspect that Qingqing has a knack for attracting beautiful people. With her around, I never worry about not seeing a stunning face.]

[Qingqing is here too!]

Si Fuqing, seldom seen in a formal gown, wore a long white dress that accentuated her perfect figure.

The disguised Yuejian followed closely behind her.

The sound of cameras clicking filled the air.

Below the stage, Yu Yao felt his breath catch at the sight.

He had suffered a significant blow at the OPL event, leaving him gloomy for more than a month.

Seeing Si Fuqing again unleashed waves of regret, gnawing at his insides and making it hard for him to breathe.

Yu Yao had asked himself more than once how he could have been so blind.

He pressed his lips together, repeatedly trying to comfort himself with the thought that Ji Qingwei had finally made a name for herself, becoming the chief designer at Cloud, and that she was no less than Si Fuqing.

He averted his gaze, forcing himself not to look at the stage.

Lang Xuan sat in the center, uninterested in speaking, leaving all the affairs to his secretary.

The secretary had grown accustomed to the role: “Welcome to this year’s launch event for Above the Clouds. After the event, our president has specially prepared a banquet and cordially invites everyone to attend.”

The applause thundered from the audience.

Meanwhile, the elite and nobles of Sijiu City turned to Ji Longtai, their expressions brimming with anticipation as they congratulated him in advance.

“Old Ji, congratulations! Your Ji family is definitely on its way to the Free State.”

“Once you’ve established yourselves there, don’t forget about us old friends.”

“Longtai, has Qingwei not gotten engaged yet? How about introducing her to my son? Let the two young ones get to know each other.”

Ji Longtai feigned modesty, but in his heart, he felt disdain.

Did these people really think they were worthy of Qingwei?

They should take a look at themselves.

For the past two days, Ji Longtai had been so excited that he overlooked the fact that Ji Qingwei hadn’t called him even once.

On stage, the secretary continued, “Miss Si is the lifetime spokesperson for Above the Clouds, and we are honored to collaborate with her.”

[What? A lifetime endorsement? So as long as Si Fuqing doesn’t withdraw from the industry, Cloud will never change its spokesperson?]

[Stop, stop! She’s not going to withdraw from the industry!]

“But there’s something that has made us extremely furious. During the chip solicitation process, we discovered acts of plagiarism.” The secretary announced. “What’s worse, the plagiarized designs are from Above the Clouds’ previous chips, and this is something we cannot tolerate.”

Lang Xuan’s expression remained indifferent, but upon hearing this, his gaze suddenly turned cold.

Ji Longtai felt an unsettling premonition in his heart, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

Plagiarism?

Who was the plagiarist?

“What surprised us even more was that the plagiarist not only refused to repent but also planned a celebratory banquet.” The secretary smiled lightly. “Since that is their wish, our president naturally has to oblige.”

As he spoke, he signaled to the staff to project Ji Qingwei’s chip design alongside several of Cloud’s previous chip designs on the big screen.

Those unfamiliar with the designs could not understand them, but the comparison clearly highlighted the instances of plagiarism.

That wasn’t all; a video followed.

Everyone could hear Lang Xuan’s calm voice as he questioned Ji Qingwei, “Didn’t you say you drew this? The computer is here; let me see you redesign it.”

On screen, Ji Qingwei’s face turned pale, unable to utter a word, clearly lacking even the basic understanding of chip design principles.

The crowd erupted in murmurs.

The whispers grew louder.

Yu Yao was rendered speechless with shock.

While the plagiarism of Ji Qingwei was one thing, what shocked him more was that the Ji Qingwei appearing on screen seemed different from the memory he held.

The secretary smiled, signaling to the staff to hand the microphone to Ji Longtai, who was seated in the VIP area. “Mr. Ji, do you really not know whether Miss Ji has committed plagiarism? How can you still think that the celebratory banquet is for you?”

With that, all eyes turned toward Ji Longtai.

His breath quickened, and he felt dizzy, barely able to stand.

He could not believe that just the day before, Lang Xuan’s secretary had warmly invited them to the banquet, only to use this grand public occasion to humiliate the Ji family to the point where they could not lift their heads.
