Song Jiaren was very aggressive and asked in a cold tone: Miss Yang, did you provide this photo yourself?
Yes. Yang Xi answered very firmly.
Is it your own design draft that you photographed? Song Jiaren asked again.
Yes. Yang Xi answered very firmly again.
What about the original manuscript?
I accidentally lost the original manuscript, maybe it was stolen by An Zhisu, and then he copied my design draft, and now he accuses me of plagiarism. Yang Xi glared at An Zhisu viciously.
Song Jiaren chuckled: Miss Yang, do you have any logic? Three years ago, my client was recuperating in the hospital due to physical reasons. How did she enter the office of the director of your design department and steal your design draft?
Yang Xi was speechless when asked, hesitating and didn't know how to answer.
Song Jiaren did not make things too difficult for her on this issue, and quickly asked: You claim that this flagship clothing is your own original creation, why didn't you make it as a flagship model back then, and had to wait until this year to bring it out?
Is there anything strange about this? Which designer doesn’t have a collection of drafts? Our inspiration is not available anytime and anywhere. When we are inspired, we create more and save it, and then use it when we are not inspired. Is this also illegal?
Yang Xi asked in displeasure.
Of course it is not illegal to save your own manuscripts, but it is illegal for Ms. Yang to save other people's manuscripts. Song Jiaren kindly reminds me.
This is my manuscript. She, An Zhisu, plagiarized it from me. I have photos to prove it, which is irrefutable. The more Yang Xi talks about it, the more confident she becomes.
Miss Yang, don't be impatient. I also have a photo here. I want to ask Miss Yang to see if it looks familiar. Song Jiaren also submitted a photo to the trial seat and at the same time showed the electronic version on the projection screen.
Exactly the same photo, exactly the same.
Yang Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Some people in the gallery began to whisper about why the plaintiff had the same photo as the defendant.
Cheng Ming looked at Yang Xi and saw that the plaintiff also had photos in his hand, but Yang Xi did not tell him.
It was not convenient for Yang Xi to explain at this moment, so he could only shake his head to express his ignorance.
Plaintiff's lawyer, please explain the origin of this photo. The people at the trial are also a little confused.
Song Jiaren nodded: Report to the presiding judge that this photo is the original photo of the manuscript, and the photo provided by the defendant was given to her by someone else, not taken by herself at all. As for who gave it to the defendant, I request to summon witnesses.
Permitted. The presiding judge agreed.
Law enforcement officials quickly brought the witness to court.
The witness was a young woman who looked less than thirty years old. She was dressed simply, giving people an honest impression.
She was a little nervous when she was brought to court and sat in the witness box, her head hanging slightly all the time, especially not daring to look at Yang Xi.
And Yang Xi recognized her from the first moment she was brought out. She felt like she was struck by lightning, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously. She subconsciously looked towards An Tingnuan in the auditorium.
An Tingnuan didn't give her any look and just acted as an indifferent bystander.
Yang Xi looked at Cheng Ming uneasily again.
Cheng Ming had already learned the whole story from Yang Xi. He was a cautious person and knew every detail. As soon as the witness came out, he could guess who it was.
Du Jiuyue.
Back then, Yang Xi had bribed her to get An Zhisu's design draft.
He tried to contact Du Jiuyue, but she resigned and left City S three years ago, and there was no news from her. Unexpectedly, the plaintiff found this key witness before they did.
Presiding judge, this witness is called Du Jiuyue. Three years ago, she was a nurse who took care of my client. Yang Xi bribed her to get my client's manuscripts again and again. Song Jiaren stated Du Jiuyue's identity.
.
Du Jiuyue's various identity certificates were submitted to the trial. A copy of her ID card, as well as proof of her original employment in the mental hospital, her resignation certificate, how long she had worked in the hospital, and when she left her job were all clearly stated.
proved.
Yang Xi's eyes widened even more. After Du Jiuyue resigned, she had asked An Tingnuan to use her connections to erase the information that Du Jiuyue had worked in the hospital. Why could Song Jiaren still get these certificates?
As for what she couldn't understand, An Tingnuan had already figured it out. All of this was planned by An Zhisu three years ago, so he could produce so much powerful evidence that Yang Xi had no chance to defend himself.
Chance.
An Tingnuan had to admit that Yang Xi had no chance of winning this lawsuit, but she would not let An Zhisu win so comfortably. This was the purpose of her coming to listen today.
Du Jiuyue, what do you want to say? The presiding judge began to ask Du Jiuyue.
Du Jiuyue kept her head down and told her how Yang Xi had instructed her to steal An Zhisu's design draft three years ago.
The audience was in an uproar. Although the evidence of Yu Yang Xi's plagiarism was analyzed in detail, and everyone had already concluded that Yang Xi was a plagiarist, they were still a little shocked when they heard it with their own ears. Unexpectedly, it was quite shocking.
Famous designers turned out to have become famous by plagiarizing others.
Presiding judge, I would like to ask the witness a few questions. Cheng Ming is still trying his best to make amends.
The presiding judge looked at him: Granted.
Cheng Ming stood up and asked Du Jiuyue: Miss Du, are you sure it was my client who gave you money to steal Miss An's design draft?
Yes. Du Jiuyue said.
Where is the evidence? You are talking nonsense, how can you prove that my client gave you money? Cheng Ming is aggressive.
Du Jiuyue adapted to the atmosphere in the court and gradually became less nervous. She raised her head and looked at Yang Xi, who subconsciously avoided it.
I have a transfer record. Every time Ms. Yang transfers money to me, the bank has a transaction record. And every time I give Ms. Yang and Ms. An’s design draft pictures, I use WeChat, and I keep the screenshots. Du Jiuyue’s answer was neither humble nor overbearing.
Cheng Ming’s question.
Presiding judge, here are the evidences provided by Du Jiuyue. Song Jiaren submitted the evidence to the trial seat in a timely manner, and at the same time played the WeChat screenshot of what Du Jiuyue said.
Everyone in the auditorium could see clearly. There were not only screenshots of the pictures sent, but also screenshots of the chat. What Yang Xi said above was like a slap on her face.
Presiding judge, I also have other original design drafts provided by Miss An. The defendant has plagiarized more than one work in the past few years. I also ask the presiding judge to give my client a fair result. Song Jiaren once again submitted an irrefutable piece of evidence.
The judges at the trial court circulated all the evidence provided by Song Jiaren. Every piece of evidence was irrefutable. With the physical witnesses and evidence, Yang Xi and her lawyer no longer had the possibility to quibble.
