Yuan Yongqin understood, thought for a moment, and said, "But this cannot be used as evidence."
"They can just say they remembered to submit it while on a private plane. After all, it only takes a few minutes to send an email, which doesn't prove anything."
Of course Qiao Nian understood this truth.
She put her hands on the balcony, thought for a moment and said, "What's APE's attitude?"
Yuan Yongqin said in a heavy tone: "They want to force Tao Leyi to plagiarize."
"To them, Tao Leyi is still a newcomer, and the Nie family insisted that Tao Leyi was suspected of plagiarizing their works. APE certainly wants to make a big deal out of a small matter, resolve the scandal, and continue the competition with honor."
"They came to me with the same intention, saying that as long as Tao Leyi withdraws from the competition, they will try to reduce the impact of this incident as much as possible. In addition, Tao Leyi needs to apologize to the Nie family privately, and this matter will be over."
"They are quite thoughtful." Qiao Nian's tone was full of mockery, as if he was mocking APE as one of the most authoritative competitions in the industry.
Faced with such an emergency, they only want the newcomers to admit their mistakes to famous and powerful people to ensure that their interests are not harmed.
Yuan Yongqin knew what she was thinking, and said helplessly: "It's like this outside now. Whoever has money and power has their say. Ordinary people have no ability to resist except to accept defeat."
"Since she didn't plagiarize, tell her not to admit it. I'll have someone check what happened tomorrow. There must be something fishy going on."
Qiao Nian said it easily.
Yuan Yongqin was relieved: "I called you just to ask you to help me check it out. After all, Country M is not my home turf. I do have a few people who can be used, but when it comes to this kind of thing, they have no connections. It's harder than climbing to the sky to find out what's going on."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian knew that Yuan Yongqin meant that Chengfeng Group was mainly doing business in Country M and had no relevant connections in this area.
Not to mention checking the inside information, they don’t even know a single ordinary APE staff member, so where can they go to check
"I know a few people in Country M. I'll call them and see if they have any connections."
After Qiao Nian finished talking to her, he hung up the phone with Yuan Yongqin and called Zhong Yiliu with ease.
Zhong Yiliu took a few minutes to get back to her. After listening to Qiao Nian's words, he said with some embarrassment: "Q, I would like to help you, but I don't understand diamonds, nor do I understand your competition. How about this, if you are in a hurry, I can help you look for it. There should be a friend who knows this."
Qiao Nian stopped him: "No, no need, I'll think of another way."
Zhong Yilu didn't know what to say when he heard her say that.
Qiao Nian chatted with him for a few more words about family matters, then hung up the phone and returned to the room. Looking at the half-drunk glass of water on the coffee table, he suddenly thought of someone.
She flipped through the pinned messages on WeChat, sent a message to the person with the black avatar, then put her phone aside and went into the bathroom to blow dry her hair.
After a while, she came out blow-drying her hair.
Then I heard a knock on the door.
Qiao Nian put a towel behind his neck and said casually, "Come in."
The person outside turned the doorknob and gently pushed the door open.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw someone dressed in decent clothes, shaking his phone and walking inside with a low voice: "You sent me a message."
Qiao Nian folded his arms and looked him up and down, unable to help but said, "Brother, why are you dressed like this when you are still awake at this hour?"
