The B&B in Cold Spring Town has been rented for four months, and Xing Yi plans to go to New York to have dinner with Yan Banxia to catch up and catch up before returning.

[Ah Yi]: You haven't been bothered recently, so I didn't tell you.

[Summer]: I won't bother you if I bother anyone.

[Summer]: You have come to New York, why hide in the small town of Cold Spring? How long have you been in the small town of Cold Spring?If I hadn't been there before and knew the house there, I would have been fooled by you.

[Summer]: By the way, have you talked with Sang Ran?

[A Yi]: I came to New York alone, I didn’t tell Sang Ran, and don’t tell her, I still don’t know how to face her.

[Summer]: Just...wasting up?

[Ayi]: Use it up.Don't talk about me, has the matter in your studio been resolved?

[Summer]: Do you still use Weibo?

[A Yi]: It’s been a long time since it’s been used, what’s the matter?

Yan Banxia sent Xing Yi a lot of screenshots, all of which were scolding remarks on Weibo.The partner told her to save the screenshots and record the screen if necessary. Anyway, whether it is a screenshot or a screen recording, it has certain legal effect.

Xing Yi watched all the screenshots patiently, and couldn't help but directly swear that Banxia was stupid.

[Ah Yi]: You are on the street!

[Summer]: It's not enough to scold me by voice, but you still want to scold me by typing?

[Ayi]: You Bodhisattva is reincarnated, can you bear those idiots scolding you like this?

[Summer]: I can't bear it, but I can't help it.

[Summer]: So you hurry back to New York to have dinner with me, and listen to my complaints. I've been very aggrieved recently.

[A Yi]: Don't you complain to Si Nanxing?

[Summer]: I don’t know that she has recently been with her husband—the partner of the studio. She has been secretive with him recently, and she doesn’t know what she is planning. However, the matter of me being accused of plagiarism is not completely without progress.

In fact, several university professors of Yan Banxia have publicly supported Yan Banxia. They are all outstanding in the design industry. But for Yan Banxia, ​​he complained.

She used to be a client of the studio, and also the old urchin university professor who regarded Yan Banxia as his favorite student. When he mentioned Yan Banxia in class, he was slandered for plagiarism. Unexpectedly, after class, some students came to her and said falteringly. the truth.

[Summer]: My husband talked with that student. She was afraid that if she stood up, she would be fired by the other studio, because she happened to be taking an internship class this semester, and she needed at least 120 hours of internship time.

[Ah Yi]: Let her come to your studio.

[Summer]: One thing to say, that student is in her senior year, and her design works are worse than those of her freshmen. Why do you think my husband invited her back to smash the signboard of the studio.But... Forget it, let's talk about whether that student should come to our studio.

The partner was indeed persuading the student to stand up and testify, but Si Nanxing was busy contacting Gu Zi recently.

Si Nanxing did not deny that the appearance of that student undoubtedly brought a turning point to the studio, but she did not think that the student had the courage to stand up, and she would not joke about Yan Banxia's future, so when dealing with matters involving Yan Banxia , she never bets the result on only one possibility.

[Star]: How can you help us?

[Muxin]: You call my wife, just like you call Yan Banxia, ​​call my wife sweetly in front of me.

[Star]: You are sick, you!

[Musin]: Why don't you come out and have a chat?Just me and you, without words Pinellia.

[Star]: OK.

Si Nanxing locked the phone screen with a cold face. If she hadn't been desperate, she would have asked Gu Zi for help because she was out of her mind.

At the same time, Yan Banxia, ​​who had made an appointment with Xing Yi for dinner, made a phone call with confidence. "I'm Yan Banxia, ​​shall we come out and meet?"

Most of the negative energy of Yan Banxia gathers at night, especially when one stays up late to catch up on manuscripts, the most cranky thoughts, but during the day, with the warm sunshine, the mood is naturally very comfortable, even if it is rainy or snowy, as long as you arrive During the day, Yan Banxia is as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his bright smile is like a walking sun. It is difficult for people to connect Yan Banxia who hides in bed in the middle of the night and whispers that he is useless.

But Yan Banxia still prefers the night, when everything is quiet, it is most suitable for a person to think about things calmly.

The slander and cyberbullying during this period was more like a hard trial for Yan Banxia. She couldn't accept it at first, she smiled and pretended to be nothing in the studio during the day, and hugged her at night. The quilt cried, and fell asleep when tired of crying.

After all, she is an adult with logical thinking. She can see with her eyes and feel with her heart.The conversation between the partner and the student was not going well. She could guess from the increasingly sad expression on the partner's face that Si Nanxing often held his mobile phone and sighed in a daze recently. She could also guess that Si Nanxing was debating whether to contact Gu Zi.

She was the first to discover Gu Zi's brooch, but she didn't think about it in a worse way, and only complained that "ugly people do more mischief".

If it is seriously pursued, her carelessness is not one of the triggers for her being slandered and plagiarized.If she can find out that the brooch is inappropriate earlier, even if she says "Gu Zi, why does your brooch not match so well", she has lived in the cold and warm New York for many years, and she has developed a tactful ability to read words and expressions, as long as Gu Zi's expression is a little bit different Naturally, she can follow the clues to guess.

It's a pity that she didn't doubt Gu Zi's brooch that day, it can be regarded as the cause she planted, and the fruit she suffered.

In order not to disturb Yan Banxia, ​​the partner and Si Nanxing tried their best to keep her from contacting the student.Yan Banxia thought for a long time. On the surface, this incident seemed to be coming for the studio, but it was actually coming for her. What right did she have to hide behind her partner and Si Nanxing.

The studio is not something that the other party can defeat with one move. It is not so much a vicious competition among peers, but a personal grievance between Gu Zi and Yan Banxia.

In order to retaliate against Yan Banxia and make Yan Banxia notorious, Gu Zi did not hesitate to use his own body as reward to give Zhang Dajun a pillow, and Zhang Dajun ate up in the studio, just holding a resentment with nowhere to go To vent, it hits off with Gu Zi's thoughts.

Zhang Dajun first found the other party's studio, because the price was very cheap, and the other party also said when they met that their studio could not do original work, so he gave Gu Zi a brooch and asked her to secretly take pictures.

However, the other party has a strong awareness of prevention. Even if they are allies with Zhang Dajun, they will not have absolute trust in Zhang Dajun and Gu Zi, in case they are bitten back, so they have installed cameras everywhere in their studios. The process is fully documented.

And this record was handed over to the student who went to the other studio for an internship not long after the start of school, because she knew how to edit.

After watching the video, the student knew that this was a frame-up for personal grievances. She was concerned about her heart. She also studied design. She imagined what she would do if she encountered something that was slandered and plagiarized.Her conscience does not allow her to help the evil, but she is very worried about the 120 hours of internship, so she edited the video as required and secretly saved the original video into her USB.

Yan Banxia originally had a personality that liked to think too much, maybe it was because she had done more self-education. In the process of negotiating with depression, she gradually learned to figure out people's hearts, put herself in other people's place and think about things, and learn from others. Think about the same thing from a different perspective but what considerations and solutions will different people have.

Anyway, Yan Banxia intuitively guessed the student's concerns and the evidence in her hands. Since the partner and Si Nanxing refused to give her the student's contact information, she simply asked the university professor, and then sent the student Make an appointment to meet up.

Yan Banxia graduated from university for less than a year, and her student card could still pass through the school system. She asked the student's classroom and get out of class time, and went directly to the corridor of that classroom and waited.

When the student walked out of the classroom, he saw Yan Banxia having a good conversation with several professors. She was wearing a simple white shirt, the hem of which was tucked into slim-fit jeans, and the long down jacket was casually slung on the left arm. Showing dazzling confidence and calmness, the student felt even more inferior when she heard her fluent oral English.

Yan Banxia caught a glimpse of a student standing aside obediently, and looked up cautiously from time to time. She was almost sure that this was the person she was looking for. After saying goodbye to several professors, she put on a friendly social smile and walked over .

"Hi, I'm Yan Banxia, ​​are you the one who made an appointment with me?"

"Hello senior sister, my name is Song Xincheng, and I am the one who made an appointment with you."

"You still know I'm your senior sister?" Yan Banxia touched her chin with a smile, and said jokingly, "Do you know any of the professors I chatted with just now?"

Song Xincheng didn't dare to lie, maybe she was guilty, although Yan Banxia smiled kindly, but she was still a little scared in front of Yan Banxia.

"I'm asking you something, what are you doing with your head down?" Yan Banxia changed into a cold and strange smile, bent slightly, tilted her head to look at Song Xincheng's side face, her eyes widened, and asked sinisterly, "You do you know it?"

"I know, I know, I know all of them."

"Then it's easy." Yan Banxia returned to his gentle smile, warmly hooked her shoulders, and pushed her towards the elevator. "Let's go to the cafeteria on the first floor to eat and chat while eating, okay? Come on, don't be coy, I invite you to the cafeteria for dinner, today is Tuesday, there should be delicious beef ribs, that rich barbecue sauce, wow , My mouth is watering when I mention it, I wish I could suck all the sauce on the bones clean."

After a while, Song Xincheng sat across from Yan Banxia, ​​obediently lowering her head and gnawing on the beef ribs. Every time she said a word, she looked up at Yan Banxia. She looked timid and pitiful, which made Yan Banxia's heart soften. I was a little bit reluctant to scare her by putting on a bad face.

"There was a professor just now who is the professor of your internship class this semester, right?"

Song Xincheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that if he couldn't hide it, he might as well not hide it, and nodded truthfully.

"She is also the professor of my internship class. She is very kind. Before I graduated, she wrote me a letter of recommendation, hoping that I can continue to study for a master's degree and a doctoral degree in design at other universities, but the tuition is too expensive. Lah, I didn't agree, I feel like I wasted her letter of recommendation, and I'm a little sorry for her."

Song Xincheng put down the beef ribs, spread his fingers exaggeratedly, and took a sip of the Coke in his palm, suppressing his shock.

The university professor even took the initiative to write a recommendation letter to Yan Banxia.

Of course, Song Xincheng knows how difficult it is to get a recommendation letter from a university professor. In addition to good grades, many university professors also pay attention to whether they have good acquaintances, and a small number of university professors ask students to write a 1000-word application letter, explaining their own advantages. Shortcomings, and then explain why you need a letter of recommendation.

The recommendation letter from a university professor is one of the key to finding a job after graduation. As graduation approaches, many students have contacted familiar university professors. Song Xincheng also contacted university professors who have been familiar with him for four years since university, but they were all rejected because she The design is not good enough, and some university professors bluntly said that it is still unknown whether her graduation project can be passed smoothly.

In the studio, Song Xincheng talks less and does more, keeps herself safe, and hopes to be hired by the studio after graduation, so no matter how unreasonable the studio asks, she will be willing to accept and deal with it properly, and then turn a blind eye to those immoral and unfair truths.

Human beings are selfish, she's just trying to keep her job, there's nothing wrong with her doing that.

A meal was like swallowing a screw, Yan Banxia rubbed his stomach which was not functioning properly. "You still don't want to stand up, and you don't want to give me the original video, are you?"

Song Xincheng suddenly raised his head and straightened his chest, and said quite confidently: "Why should I ruin my own future because of you!"

"Yo, you're quite reasonable. It's just you practicing in that studio. The boss has such a bad heart. What kind of future can you make there, ah?" Yan Banxia scratched at the plastic plate with a fork Back and forth, frowning impatiently. "You insist on forcing me to be a bad person."

"Sister, didn't you come to me for yourself! You are also a selfish person! You are no different from me!"

Yan Banxia stared at Song Xincheng expressionlessly for a while, then sneered and said, "Well, I'm just like you. You don't need to stand up, you don't need to give me the original video, you can continue to be at ease with each other As for the studio internship, at the end of the semester, there will be at least ten professors, as well as me, and we will write to the director of the design department of the school together, asking him to cancel your internship time, because the place where you practice violates the law of the design industry. I want you to pay for one more practice class at your own expense, or, more than one more? Twice? Three times? I don’t need to say how expensive the courses in the design department are.”

Song Xincheng was completely taken aback.

"Do you have my mobile phone number?" Yan Banxia thought for a moment, then took out his business card and handed it over. "In case you have an excuse to say that you have cleared your phone's recent contacts and can't find my phone number. The business card is a bit wrinkled, but let's make it up, the new one hasn't been printed yet."

Song Xincheng took the business card with both hands respectfully, and found that it said "AssistantDesigner", and was about to open his mouth to ridicule her and win back for himself.

"Ah, by the way, Assistant is not written on the newly printed business card, so you don't need to attack me with this point, you are quite stupid for doing so." Yan Banxia took out the neatly folded paper from his pocket again, Slowly spread it out and put it by Song Xincheng's hand. "Look at your business card design, and then look at my business card design. Originally, I planned to recommend you to do design work in various departments and clubs of the school to earn internship time, but your attitude is different from yours. The characters are all the same as your design—”

"What, what!" Song Xincheng argued unconvinced, "If you don't like me, then don't look at me. Why are you looking for me?"

"—bad."
