Lu Zhiwei stood frozen at the door for a few seconds, not expecting Shen Jinmo to come and handle the situation personally.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." Lu Zhiwei smiled and sat down opposite Shen Jingmo.

Shen Jinmo stared at her with cold, sharp eyes, gesturing for Lin Jing to give a document to Lu Zhiwei for review.

Lin Jing opened a document and bowed as he handed it to Lu Zhiwei: "Ms. Lu, these are the design drafts for our Shen Group's jewelry design department's new products. They are all registered with copyright."

Lu Zhiwei took the document and looked at it carefully for a few moments.

Shen's latest collection features a theme of spring flowers, including vibrant roses, aloof lilies of the valley, and fresh and elegant gardenias. Each piece is imbued with a beautiful soul by the designer's touch.

However, the designs of these jewels were completely copied from the cheongsam design drafts that Jiang Hao released.

In short, Lu's designers plagiarized Shen's design inspiration and added jewelry design concepts to clothing.

"Lu Zhiwei, is this the result of your three years of stealing from my side?" Shen Jinmo's cold and sinister eyes fell on Lu Zhiwei, making her feel cold.

At the banquet held at the Lu family's residence, she blurted out that she had married him for the sake of Shen Group's secrets.

Now this stone has fallen on his own foot.

Lu Zhiwei was unable to refute it for a moment.

"Where did you see the design draft? On the computer in the villa's study? You used that computer when you were drafting the divorce agreement; the drafts the design department submitted to me were on the desktop at that time," Shen Jinmo questioned aggressively.

No one dared to breathe loudly in the meeting room; the atmosphere was tense.

Lin Jing, in particular, couldn't help but feel worried for the former president's wife.

President Shen is known in the business world for his ruthless and decisive nature, and is a notorious figure. The lawyer he brought today is Zhang Yang, the most powerful and top-notch lawyer in the entire Yunzhou.

The two of them went out together, and whoever they wanted to send in had to go in.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Zhiwei said calmly, "I don't believe that President Shen doesn't even know such a basic common sense as setting a password for a document."

She didn't open any documents on the computer desktop in the study at all; she turned off the computer after drafting the divorce agreement.

"Didn't Miss Lu personally show off her superb hacking skills in front of me? Cracking a small document is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Shen Jinmo's rhetorical question once again pushed Lu Zhiwei to the edge of a "cliff".

"Zhang Yang, give this Miss Lu a lesson on plagiarism." Shen Jinmo shifted to a languid posture, crossed his legs, and leaned back on the sofa, his chin resting on his well-defined knuckles as he leisurely stared at Lu Zhiwei.

Zhang Yang, who had already drafted the lawyer's letter, stood up straight and said firmly, "Anyone who infringes on copyright for profit, where the amount involved is substantial or there are other serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years and fined..."

"Alright, I know the law. No matter what, the design drawings were leaked from our Lu Group's official WeChat account, so I can take responsibility for that." Lu Zhiwei silently lowered her head.

Shen Jinmo did not expect her to surrender so readily.

Having grown accustomed to her quick wit and charming demeanor lately, her attitude today greatly disappointed him.

He originally intended to make things difficult for this woman, so that she would cry and beg him to be lenient.

The current situation is completely contrary to what he had imagined.

"Since you're willing to pay the price for your actions, then we have nothing to talk about. Let's go straight to the legal process." Shen Jinmo stood up angrily, his handsome face dark with anger.

An Yang was extremely anxious. This was simply Jiang Hao's wanton revenge, and Vice President Lu shouldn't have to take the blame.

Lu Zhiwei stood up as well, and before Shen Jinmo left the lounge, she tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "I think there might be a compromise to resolve this matter."

Shen Jinmo had his back to Lu Zhiwei, his expression light and his thin lips slightly curved, as if he had been waiting for her to say those words.

"Alright, if Miss Lu is willing to ask me, I will reluctantly accept a private settlement."

"Okay, I beg you." Lu Zhiwei pleaded without even thinking, her soft voice as gentle as spring water, like a cat's claws scratching at the heart.

"..." Shen Jinmo's sinister expression darkened further: "You really have no backbone at all."

"If Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, why can't I? Throughout history, those who achieve great things have always been able to bend and stretch. Jiang Hao's plagiarism and leaking of your company's design drafts was my negligence in management, and I will bear all the losses caused to your company. However, I hope that President Shen can take a long-term view. Rather than accepting compensation, why not take this opportunity to make a big profit?"

Lu Zhiwei slowly walked to Shen Jinmo's side, took his arm, and made him sit back on the sofa, then proceeded to do her plan.

Lin Jing watched as his boss acted as if he had been under a spell.

On the way, we agreed to send Miss Lu to prison, to make her wish she were dead.

"Lu Zhiwei, what trick are you trying to pull now?" Shen Jinmo frowned, not daring to relax for a moment.

This woman is as cunning as a fox.

"Let's collaborate! The media and the general public are eager to see a historic reconciliation between the Shen and Lu families. The design drafts released on our official Weibo account are the perfect opportunity. Let's launch a new co-branded product line for the Shen and Lu families under the Hundred Flowers series, promoting and selling it both online and in stores to achieve a win-win situation."

Lu Zhiwei's eyes darted around, gazing expectantly at Shen Jinmo's deep-set eyes.

Hopefully, he can set aside personal grudges in the face of the group's interests.

After a long while, Shen Jinmo reacted and forcefully pushed away Lu Zhiwei, who was approaching him: "You've hit me in the face with your abacus beads, Lu Zhiwei."
