    The Lingdong Jewelryunch event was a grand affair, with Gu Chen leveraging numerous media connections to maximize publicity.


    Knowing that many of the new designs were Song Fan’s creations, Gu Chen wanted to provide her with the best tform to showcase her talent.


    Charlie also mobilized his international connections, bringing in several foreign media outlets, underscoring the event’s importance.


    Xu Wen attended the event in full regalia, now the general manager, making it necessary for her to be present at such major events.


    To stand out, Xu Wen wore a striking red haute couture gown. Unfortunately, her short stature made it difficult for her to carry off the long, trailing dress.


    Despite this, people were still eager to tter the future heir of the Xu family. Even if she wore a sack, someone would call it fashion-forward.


    In contrast, Song Fan’s understated ck strapless gown paired with an updo and a pearl ne exuded a noble elegance.


    Many prominent families from the capital attended. Even those unfamiliar with Song Fan gave her respect due to Gu Chen.


    Comparing Song Fan and Xu Wen, many silently acknowledged Gu Chen’s good taste. Song Fan wasn’t just beautiful; she appeared shrewd and capable. The real test, however, was the jewelryunch itself.


    Lan Yue had set upprehensive video surveince. The rest of the team was also on high alert. Su Ming came to assist, keeping the event running smoothly.


    Though Song Fan appeared calm, she was nervous. Thankfully, the event proceeded without issues until the midway point.


    Especially after Li Na and Kevin’s designs were introduced, the event had already garnered millions in sales.


    Li Na’s grandfather’s reputation brought her considerable attention. Kevin’s designs, though few, were already sold out.


    When it was time to showcase Song Fan’s designs, everyone held their breath.


    “The next piece, a brooch named ‘Butterfly on Flower,’ is a creation by Miss Song Fan,” announced the host, heightening Song Fan’s anxiety.


    “The butterfly on the brooch is crafted using traditional dotting techniques, and the pearls are pink Tahitian pearls, paired with filigree work…”


    As the host described the piece, the audience’s eyes filled with admiration. Song Fan’s design skills were evident. Traditional craftsmanship in jewelry had be an international trend, and she had captured this beautifully.


    Especially when the pearl ring was unveiled, many were amazed at its perfection. The ring’s smooth, flowing lines and wave-like design around the pearl were particrly striking.


    But as people marveled at Song Fan’s unique designs, dissenting voices emerged.


    “Why do these designs look so familiar?” Xu Ting suddenly interjected, caressing the ne around her neck. “If I didn’t know this was a Lingdong Jewelryunch, I’d think these designs were part of the same series as my ne!”


    Xu Ting, a distant rtive of Xu Wen and a minor celebrity, had been invited by Xu Wen to help promote the event. However, she had other motives.


    Having participated in several reality shows and minor dramas, Xu Ting was rtively well-known, and many recognized her.


    Herment drew everyone’s attention to her ne, which indeed bore simrities to Song Fan’s new pieces.


    “Cousin, was this ne custom-made by Miss Song?” Xu Wen feigned surprise. “I wasn’t aware you two were acquainted.”


    “Did you forget? Many years ago, when designer Mr. Hua was still alive, he and my grandfather were friends. This ne was designed by him,missioned by my grandfather. My grandmother passed it to my mother, and now it’s mine,” Xu Ting said with pride.


    Her words caught many by surprise. A design by the legendary Mr. Hua was rare and priceless. Many jewelry enthusiasts at the event began to scrutinize Song Fan’s designs, suspecting giarism.


    “Could the general manager of Song Corporation have copied someone else’s work?”


    “And to giarize the renowned Mr. Hua’s designs? Didn’t they do any research?”


    “I wouldn’t dare wear such jewelry. It’s embarrassing.”


    Seeing the situation unfold, Xu Wen gave Xu Ting a subtle signal, which she immediately understood.


    Xu Ting loudly addressed the audience, “Grandfather, didn’t you say these designs looked familiar?”
