Sheng Mian walked to the art building where the art exhibition was held. She was dressed crisply and smartly, and stood out among a group of business people.
She looked around and found her target in the crowd at a glance, Jiang Liusheng, the boss of Zhuoding Technology.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, am I late?"
She walked over gracefully and shook hands with Jiang Liusheng.
Jiang Liusheng is also surrounded by several leaders of the school. This year he will sponsor all electronic equipment for the microcomputer class of Imperial University and will donate 100,000 air conditioners.
Jiang Liusheng was wearing a suit. He did not have the shrewdness of a businessman, but showed an open-mindedness unique to his age group. There were no extra pendants on his wrists, but his years of physical exercise made him more energetic than the average person.
"Miss Penny, you're here, I thought you forgot."
Sheng Mian had designed a house for him before, and the two got to know each other through that.
"If Mr. Jiang invites you, there's no reason why I shouldn't come."
As she spoke, Sheng Mian turned to the middle-aged woman who was dressed very smartly and said, "Teacher Xiao Dai, it's been a long time."
Xiao Dai is thirty-five years old, dressed very smartly, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and has a hint of the charm of a mature woman.
But when Sheng Mian called "Teacher Xiao Dai", her face became a little dark.
Jiang Liusheng on the side joked, "You still call me a teacher. Xiao Dai was promoted to director this year."
Xiao Dai looked at Sheng Mian's face, a look of solemnity flashed across her eyes quickly, then she smiled and stretched out her hand.
"It turns out to be classmate Sheng Mian. I didn't expect you and Mr. Jiang to know each other."
Jiang Liusheng smiled and said, "The house I was most satisfied with before was designed by her. Knowing that she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of Teito University, I invited her to accompany me to this year's art exhibition."
"So that's it."
Xiao Dai looked at Sheng Mian. She had no makeup on her face and was dressed in cheap clothes from head to toe. She said nothing.
Sheng Mian stood next to Jiang Liusheng and first chatted about the house. Seeing that he was more interested in a hanging painting, she turned to the painting exhibition.
Methodical explanation, including inspiration for brushstrokes and colors.
Jiang Liusheng sometimes nodded, with a smile on his face, and sometimes complimented, "Since you studied painting before, why did you switch to design?"
When he said this, Xiao Dai behind him froze, but Sheng Mianyun changed the subject lightly, "Mr. Jiang, someone is calling you over there."
Jiang Liusheng turned around and saw a business partner toasting with him.
"You wait here for a moment, I'll go over and say hello."
Sheng Mian nodded politely, making sure that he would not come back soon, and entered the bathroom around the corner, intending to touch up his makeup.
As soon as I turned on the faucet, a person came in behind me.
Thirty-five-year-old Xiao Dai still looked well-maintained, her eyes glancing up and down with contempt.
"I never thought you would dare to come back to school."
Sheng Mian took out her lipstick and moisturized her lips.
"The director is joking. It's not me who should be afraid."
Xiao Dai locked the door very vigilantly, then opened the compartments one by one to check to make sure there was no one else here, and then sneered.
"Who would believe the words of a painter who is suspected of plagiarism? Sheng Mian, when you tried to seduce Shen Tang, your wife chased you to school and splashed paint all over you. However, it caused a big fuss. Several years have passed since the incident. Are you right?
Think everyone has forgotten? Besides, I am already the director..."
"Teacher Xiao Dai, you have sacrificed a lot in order to be promoted to this director position. I wonder if your husband is clear about your relationship with Shen Tang. I remember that he was also transferred to Imperial University this year, right?"
Xiao Dai raised her hand and slapped him.
Sheng Mian held her wrist and threw it away with her backhand.
Xiao Dai was stunned, covering her face in disbelief and looking at her.
"You bitch, you dare to fight with me? If I call the police, you will be finished. Back then, you struggled for so many years and finally won the award right away. But in the end, you almost didn't get your diploma because of plagiarism. Don't you know?
The price for offending me?"
Sheng Mian found it funny, opened the faucet on the side, blocked one side with her fingertips, and the water sprayed onto Xiao Dai's body without hesitation.
Xiao Dai screamed and dodged away in embarrassment, still quite wet.
"Teacher Xiao Dai, I think you still can't see the situation clearly. I am no longer a student of your school. What are you threatening me with? A diploma? Or continue to slander me for plagiarism? Unfortunately, I can't even draw pictures now.
I’ve given up on painting, how are you going to make me pay the price?”
Xiao Dai was trembling all over, sparks were flying in her eyes, and she sneered, "Where's that video?"
"You were suppressed by Shen Tang. Although you didn't succeed, as long as that video is released, can you still keep your current position as a designer?"
