On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

Just as the review meeting was about to begin, the host announced an unexpected news: "Dear guests, in addition to the duel between Chu Xixi and Huo Hangfan today, we have also specially invited Mr. Li Chuan, an internationally renowned design master and the head of the independent third-party review panel. He will supervise the entire process and ensure the fairness of this review."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience. Li Chuan is a name known to everyone in the design industry. His authority and fairness are deeply recognized by the industry and beyond. His arrival undoubtedly added more suspense and highlights to this duel.

When Huo Hangfan heard Li Chuan's name, the smile on his face stiffened a little, but he quickly adjusted himself, still maintaining a calm attitude and welcoming Li Chuan's arrival.

Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo smiled at each other. Li Chuan's participation undoubtedly gave them greater confidence. Chu Xixi walked to the stage, looked at the audience with a resolute gaze, and said loudly: "Thank you Master Li Chuan and all the friends who are paying attention to this matter. I firmly believe that as long as we stick to our original intentions, no matter how complicated the fog is, it will be penetrated by the sun and the truth will eventually be revealed."

Xu Yuanmo followed up and added: "We will refute Mr. Huo Hangfan's allegations of plagiarism one by one and show the process and ideas of the original design. Here, we hope that Mr. Huo Hangfan can also produce solid evidence instead of empty words."

As the review meeting officially began, Huo Hangfan first presented the so-called "evidence of plagiarism". However, under the rigorous and fair scrutiny of Master Li Chuan, these so-called evidences were exposed one by one, and many industry insiders and onlookers began to waver in their accusations against Huo Hangfan.

When it was Chu Xixi's turn to present, she walked to the podium confidently, holding a thick stack of design sketches and process records in her hands, and elaborated on her design concept and creative process in detail. The audience listened very attentively, and many of them expressed admiration.

"So that's how it is. Chu Xixi's design ideas are indeed unique, and every step is well documented. There is no trace of plagiarism at all." A designer in the crowd exclaimed sincerely.

The review meeting entered its climax. Master Li Chuan stood up, faced the audience, and solemnly announced: "After a rigorous review by an independent third-party review panel, we believe that Ms. Chu Xixi's design does not involve plagiarism, and all accusations are untenable."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into applause. Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo smiled at each other and held hands tightly. They successfully defended their reputation and dignity.

However, just when everyone thought that the matter was over, Huo Hangfan stood up with a gloomy face. He glanced at Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo and snorted coldly: "Even if plagiarism cannot be proved today, it does not mean that I have no other means to expose your true colors."

Upon hearing this, Master Li Chuan solemnly warned Huo Hangfan: "Mr. Huo Hangfan, the fairness of the design industry cannot be trampled upon by anyone. If you have other evidence or accusations, you must submit them through legal channels. Otherwise, we will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility."

Huo Hangfan left the stage angrily, while Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo left the stage amid the congratulations and admiration of the crowd. Their figures looked even more resolute and tall under the lights.

"It seems that this storm has not completely subsided. Huo Hangfan seems to have some hidden tricks up his sleeve." A passerby in the crowd whispered.

"No matter what, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo's performance is really admirable. Their persistence and courage are worth learning from." Another passerby exclaimed.

The story of Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo has become more tortuous and moving because of this review meeting. How will they deal with Huo Hangfan's counterattack next, and what kind of waves will it set off in the design industry? Stay tuned for everything... Just as people were talking about it and had doubts about Huo Hangfan's threat, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo were not discouraged, but stood more firmly in front of the public. Chu Xixi's clear eyes flashed with determination, and she said to the camera frankly: "Mr. Huo Hangfan, competition in the design industry should be based on talent and innovation, not slander and frame-up. We are always waiting for your "real evidence" and believe that the law and justice will give everyone a fair answer."

Xu Yuanmo also straightened his back and echoed, "Yes, we must not only adhere to our own design concepts, but also maintain the pure soil of the design industry, and never allow malicious slander to become a stumbling block that hinders our progress."

The audience's emotions were ignited again. Some applauded Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo's tenacity, while others were angry at Huo Hangfan's words and deeds. An old man patted the shoulders of the young man next to him and said with emotion: "Young people, did you see that? This is the character of a real designer!"

On the other side, several rookie designers who had just entered the industry looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them exclaimed: "I didn't expect the competition in the design industry to be so fierce, but the way Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo responded showed us what true professionalism and personal charm are."

As time went by, Huo Hangfan's counterattack did not come as expected. Instead, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo's design works caused a new wave of enthusiasm on the Internet, with rave reviews and orders pouring in. However, under this seemingly calm surface, a long-brewing storm is quietly approaching.

One day, an anonymous email suddenly appeared in the mailboxes of major media outlets, with a document attached with the title "Ironclam Evidence Exposing Chu Xixi's Plagiarism Incident". This news spread instantly on the Internet, and public opinion was once again boiling.

After Master Li Chuan learned about this, he immediately convened the jury to restart the investigation process. Faced with new evidence, can Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo turn the tide again and prove their innocence? What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind Huo Hangfan? When will this undercurrent in the design industry subside?

Chu Xi hoped to Xu Yuanmo, and both of them were full of determination in their eyes: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we will work together and the truth will always come out."

Xu Yuanmo returned a firm look, tightly held Chu Xixi's hand, and whispered: "Let's face the challenge together and let time prove everything."

Amid the mixed expectations and suspicions of the crowd, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo once again stepped into this design battlefield full of variables and challenges. Their story will continue in the next chapter... Just when the wave of public opinion seemed to turn to the side of Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo, clearing their names, a video suddenly appeared on the Internet, signed by an anonymous person. In the video, a masked man showed a detailed document and a series of design sketches, claiming that these were evidence of Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo's reference and imitation during the creative process, pushing the two to the forefront again.

This news instantly exploded on the Internet, and people who had been inclined to believe that Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo were innocent began to waver. In a cafe, a group of designers sat together, and one of them pointed at the screen of his mobile phone and said in astonishment: "Look, this sketch is almost exactly the same as Chu Xixi's design. This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to refute it."

In the classroom of the School of Design, the professors had a heated discussion on the matter. An old professor with gray hair slammed the table and sighed, "The definition of plagiarism is very subtle. If this information is true, then Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo will really face a severe test."

However, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo were not defeated by the sudden change. They spoke out again in front of the media: "We will conduct a comprehensive self-examination of the new accusation and welcome all impartial and selfless professionals to participate in the verification. We believe that only the truth can truly calm this storm."

Huo Hangfan looked at the determined eyes of Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo on the screen, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He spoke again on social media: "I don't care what the truth is. I just hope that you will collapse under pressure, or miraculously turn things around."

After receiving the new report, the jury decided to launch a new round of in-depth investigation. After working day and night for several days, they found many doubts in the anonymous report, especially those seemingly conclusive evidences, which were actually deliberately confusing and misleading the public.

When this major discovery was made public, the crowd burst into exclamations. The young designer who had once questioned Chu Xixi stood in the crowd, waving his arms excitedly and shouting, "I knew they wouldn't plagiarize! They are designers with backbone and principles!"

Those who had slandered Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo also came forward to apologize, expressing their admiration for their perseverance in the face of adversity.

At this time, Huo Hangfan updated his social account with a status: "It seems that I overestimated my means and underestimated your determination. Chu Xixi, Xu Yuanmo, I admit my failure this time, but the battle in the design industry is far from over. Are you ready for the next challenge?"

Chu Xixi smiled calmly, held Xu Yuanmo's hand tightly, and responded: "No matter what the challenge is, we will gladly accept it. Because only in this way can we become stronger and our designs can shine more brilliantly."

Xu Yuanmo looked into the distance and answered calmly and forcefully: "Huo Hangfan, we can accept any challenge, because we believe that real gold is not afraid of fire, and the real power of design will never be diminished by temporary wind and rain."

In the ever-changing battlefield of the design world, the story of Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo continues, and more challenges and opportunities are waiting for them ahead... Just as everyone was digesting this shocking reversal, the group of designers gathered again in the cafe. One of the senior designers who was usually taciturn pushed his glasses and said in a calm but powerful voice: "Have you all seen these so-called evidences? The use of those lines and elements is indeed similar to Chu Xixi's design, but the key innovations and design concepts are fundamentally different. This is the difference between plagiarism and reference, and it is also where we need to think deeply."

At the same time, students gathered in front of the bulletin board of the School of Design, discussing the latest survey results. A freshman looked at the clarification report on the bulletin board with admiration, muttering to himself: "Senior Sister Chu and Senior Student Xu can stick to themselves and dare to face such great pressure from public opinion. This spirit is so admirable."

In the design circle, many well-known designers expressed their support for Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo. They praised the two for adhering to their professional ethics in adversity. Some even said bluntly: "The design world needs such a clear stream, and needs brave people who have the courage to face challenges and dare to expose the truth."

At this time, Huo Hangfan was sitting alone in the office, staring at the calm yet resolute responses of Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo on the computer screen, thinking to himself: "They are more resilient than I thought, but the game has just begun."

Just when Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo thought the storm was about to pass, an invitation letter from the organizing committee of the international design competition quietly arrived, inviting them to participate in a top-level design competition. Their opponent was the team led by Huo Hangfan. Once this news came out, the entire design industry was in an uproar again.

"I didn't expect things to develop to this point." The designers in the cafe talked about it. "This is not just a design duel, but also a contest of dignity and honor."

"Yes, if Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo can beat Huo Hangfan in the competition this time, they will be truly proud of themselves." Another designer's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Chu Xixi took the invitation letter handed over by Xu Yuanmo, looked at him firmly, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "It seems that our battlefield will be expanded again. Are you ready?"

Xu Yuanmo responded with an equally firm look, his words full of determination: "Of course, no matter when or where, as long as it is for our design dream, I am ready."

As the competition approaches, Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo devote themselves to preparation, knowing that this will be a crucial battle to prove their innocence and win the respect of the industry. How the result of this competition will affect their future and even the development of the entire design industry is still unknown.
