The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 182: Chapter 181 No Need to Worry About It Anymore

After confirming the information, the other party spoke in a measured tone.

“Miss Lu, I regret to inform you that your work failed to pass the review by our company’s senior executives. Please try harder next time!”

“…Uh, what?” Lu Xinnuan’s smile froze on her face, suspecting she had heard wrong. “What do you mean? Didn’t you say that as long as I rank in the top five of the physics competition, you would sign my work and even let me work at your company?”

“I understand how you feel, but this is the final result,” the other party explained calmly.

Lu Xinnuan could no longer remain calm, gripping her phone tightly, utterly unable to accept it.

What is going on today? One misfortune after another!

Her voice rose as she questioned the other party, almost shrieking, “Why? Why?! You have to give me a reason!”

The other party seemed to laugh, calm with a hint of disdain.

“Miss Lu, do you really not understand the reason?”

“…” Lu Xinnuan stiffened.

Fu Man couldn’t help but rush over.

“Mr. Lin, what kind of reason is this! Do you know how hard my daughter worked for this set of works? To meet your requirements, she studied physics day and night and revised her work. Why can you just destroy all of my daughter’s efforts with a single notice?!”

The other party, sounding like a robot devoid of emotion, spoke evenly through the handset.

“Miss Lu Xinnuan’s work is indeed excellent, and our company did plan to sign it. However, I am sorry to say that after a recent verification, Miss Lu Xinnuan’s work is 60 percent similar to a set of works from 12 years ago.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You, what do you mean…”

“Madam, do I need to make myself clearer? Your daughter’s work is plagiarized,” the other party paused. “Our company could never sign a plagiarized work, nor could we employ such a person. We will not accept any works or applications from Lu Xinnuan in the future. That’s all, goodbye.”

The call ended with a click.

Lu Xinnuan’s body went rigid, her face not knowing what expression to make.

Fu Man shook her arms. “Nuannuan… what on earth has happened? Weren’t those drawn by you after so much hard work? How could it turn into…” Besides, plagiarizing work from 12 years ago—Nuannuan was only 7 years old then, how could she know about those!

Lu Xinnuan was shaken back and forth by Fu Man, feeling as if her brain was also being rattled.

Turning woodenly towards Lu Mian, her eyes red with hate and venom, everything became clear.

“It was you…”

Lu Mian smiled calmly, “This way, you won’t have to worry about the physics competition anymore.”

Her composure and ease reflected in Lu Xinnuan’s eyes, the blood in Lu Xinnuan’s chest felt like it was going to choke her, but she couldn’t bring it up.

Indeed, no need to fret anymore.

No need to compete for the top five anymore, as long as Lu Mian was around, she, Lu Xinnuan, would never achieve it.

This was the last thing Lu Mian ever did for the Lu Family.

She understood, and she hated so much.

“Lu Mian, why are you doing this to me!” Lu Xinnuan screamed with all her might.

Why did she have to ruin her?!

Why couldn’t things stay the same as before, with her being the well-behaved girl and Lu Mian being the liar she always was!

Why did she have to go against her?!

Lu Mian didn’t even look at Lu Xinnuan, annoyed by that “I’m the most innocent in the world” look on her face.

“I need to keep my word,” she replied contemptuously.

Keep my word…

!!!

Lu Xinnuan suddenly remembered the incident at the Go competition.

Lu Mian, clutching her neck, had said—she would make her lose everything bit by bit.

“Lu Mian, you…”

With an expression of disgust, Lu Mian relaxed her neck, retracted her legs, stood up, and became impatient.

She handed the document back to Lu Chengweng and yellow jade. “The issue is resolved, please sign.”
