Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757: Chapter 757: You’re Still Too Inexperienced to Compete with Me

These ladies are not short of money, but they’re not fools either.

Having bought a defective product and swallowing the loss would make them look down on us, wouldn’t it?

One of the ladies stood up directly.

"No way! We need to get to the bottom of this! I’ve ordered several pieces myself, and if there’s an issue with the design, I definitely don’t want them."

"Third Young Master, we have collaborations among our families. If you show favoritism, I might have to reconsider our future partnerships."

The other ladies nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi glanced around at the people seated by the conference table.

The expressions of the Bai family mother and daughter and Gong Yao remained unchanged, but there was a clear hint of smugness in their eyes.

Lin Zhiyi understood something.

No wonder Gong Yao was willing to use his card on Bai Ruoshu’s behalf; it turned out the intention was to set up Gong Chen here.

Thinking this, Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen again.

Gong Chen looked back at her, pressing his fingertips against his temple.

His deep, dark eyes seemed to be conveying something.

Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

Lin Zhiyi smiled at everyone: "I apologize, since Mrs. Bai brought witnesses, I arranged for a few to come over as well. After all, this matter concerns the studio’s reputation and can’t be taken lightly."

The door opened to reveal ladies who were not on good terms with the Bai family mother and daughter.

The Bai family mother and daughter were momentarily stunned.

A few of them sat down with a light laugh.

One of the ladies with a newly bought gemstone ring spoke sarcastically.

"Mrs. Bai, you didn’t have this expression when you were fighting with us to swipe your card earlier. Now you want to return it? I told you before not to buy so much."

Yang Jingwei took a deep breath: "I thought Miss Lin’s designs were quite good, which is why I bought so many. As a major client, I think I have the right to know if what I’ve purchased is good or bad."

"Better not end up making a fool of ourselves."

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Bai Ruoshu pointedly said: "Miss Lin, why did you bring them here? Surely you’re not afraid to admit your design flaw if there’s one?"

"Miss Bai, or rather, Fourth Madam now, you shouldn’t say that. You represent Fourth Master and the Gong Family. The Gong Family is strict in its conduct and won’t convict based on biased words."

Everyone knew how to flatter.

Bai Ruoshu wanted to rebut, but Gong Yao stopped her.

"Lin Zhiyi, since that’s the case, what evidence do you have to prove you’re not at fault?"

"The reporters are present; you’d better watch your words."

Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "I’ll return the same words to you. Since everyone’s here, shall we begin?"

The next second, a master craftsman walked in.

Lin Zhiyi introduced, "This is our studio’s contracted master craftsman. He only needs one look to determine whether it’s a design issue or deliberate sabotage."

As the word ’sabotage’ was mentioned, there was a noticeable shift in the expressions of the Bai family mother and daughter.

Bai Ruoshu said, "How can it be sabotage?"

"Fourth Madam, neither you nor I have the final say. Let’s see what the master determines."

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the master craftsman.

The craftsman stepped forward to inspect, then frowned deeply.

"This is deliberate sabotage."

"Impossible!" Bai Ruoshu retorted, "You belong to Lin Zhiyi, surely you’re in cahoots to shirk responsibility."

The craftsman replied unhappily, "I’ve been in this industry for decades and have never been accused like this before, Miss Bai. It seems you don’t recognize me at all. During your time at Xue Man’s Studio, several pieces of jewelry were set by me due to their complex designs. Are you questioning me or insulting yourself?"

On hearing this, Bai Ruoshu realized who he was.

"You... maybe you’re just protecting Lin Zhiyi to maintain your reputation."

"Haha, Miss Bai, it seems you still don’t get my point. We craftsmen always leave our mark to avoid unnecessary troubles later."

The craftsman’s words became even clearer.

The staff member said, "To avoid unnecessary trouble, Miss Lin had us wear the cameras to better serve customers."

Yang Jingwei then noticed a black object resembling a brooch on their chests.

"Impossible, I didn’t see that before."

"Mrs. Bai, the staff wore them while retrieving the necklace from the vault; perhaps you didn’t notice."

The assistant explained, glancing at Lin Zhiyi.

In fact, Lin Zhiyi had instructed the assistant to do this after reviewing the sales figure.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t trust that Yang Jingwei would impulsively buy so much.

"Mrs. Bai, don’t be impatient," Lin Zhiyi said with a smile, "I needed time to organize the footage. Let’s now see what actually happened."

"Lin Zhiyi!" Yang Jingwei raised her voice to stop her, "Let’s just say we lost it ourselves."

"Mrs. Bai, that won’t do. If rumors spread, others might think we’re making things difficult for our customers."

Lin Zhiyi stared at her, but her hands didn’t stop.

She clicked play directly.

On the footage, a staff member wearing white gloves explained the necklace while putting it on Yang Jingwei.

The staff then took out a mirror to show her.

Everything was normal at this point; when the staff member lowered her head to organize the jewelry box...

Yang Jingwei took something out of her bag and did something to the necklace.

When she withdrew her hand, the red diamond on the necklace was missing.

Being a jewelry designer herself, Bai Ruoshu knew exactly where the weakest point of the setting was.

She easily instructed Yang Jingwei on how to use a tool to damage the necklace.

Yang Jingwei bit her lip hard.

She hurriedly explained, "I wasn’t doing anything at the time; I was just caressing the red diamond."

Lin Zhiyi said, "Mrs. Bai, I wonder if I could have someone check your bag. We should see if there’s a tool similar to the scratches on the necklace, and the truth should come out."
