Chapter 300 Infringement (4)
"Who am I?"
The fat girl sneered and rolled her eyes at her. Then she said, "Take your time to figure it out! Anyway, it's only a few days before you leave the court. It's up to you to decide what to do."
Then he left!
After a whole afternoon of hard work, this was the result. Tian Xin was furious!
Who is behind this?
If it wasn't Zhen Zhen, who else could it be?
There were only two of them involved in the design of "Yuehua". If she sued her for infringement, the person who would directly benefit would be Zhen Zhen. Who else could it be?
At the show that day, there were so many people vying for the rights to "Yue Hua" that Zhen Zhen ended up following the well-dressed director of "Ru Meng." The remaining people were all bosses she knew from Suzhou! They had no connection to Zhen Zhen and were unlikely to speak up for her.
The man claiming to be the manager saw Zhen Zhen walking away in a suit and tie and immediately ran after her. Could it be him? He'd set up this scheme in Zhen Zhen's name to compete for Yue Hua. If so, did Zhen Zhen know about it? Who was this fat girl working for?
However, this was unlikely. Zhen Zhen went to Rumeng, and since they were rivals, there was no chance they would have crossed paths. Even if they did, it would have been a hostile relationship. Zhen Zhen wouldn't be so foolish as to leave Rumeng and have an affair with him, would she? If that were the case, she wouldn't have chosen Rumeng in the first place.
Who could it be?
Tian Xin scratched her head and pondered over the cause and effect of this matter. After thinking about it, she was suddenly startled and a bad guess flashed through her mind:
Could this be a play that the top management of "Rumeng" directed and acted out themselves and in collaboration with Zhen Zhen in order to obtain the copyright of "Yuehua"?
If so, then this matter is complicated?
Putting aside his motive for doing this, if the lawsuit leads to a confrontation between the Chang'an Street website and the Rumeng brand, the issue will escalate to a new level.
After all, if this matter only involved her and Zhen Zhen, it would be a personal grudge. But if companies were to confront each other, it would be commercial malicious competition!
But then again, Rumeng is such a big and well-known clothing brand with a large group of professional designers. Is it really worth it to go to such lengths just for a few pieces of clothing for her?
But if it wasn't 'Ru Meng', then who could it be?
Tian Xin was puzzled and the more she thought about it, the more headache she got.
We still have to find Zhen Zhen first.
But before, she had only contacted Zhen Zhen by phone. Apart from knowing that she worked at "Rumeng", she knew nothing else!
Where can I find it?
Helplessly, she went to "Ru Meng" first.
As a well-known brand, Rumeng holds an absolute position in the Hanfu world. Its headquarters is located in the capital, with subsidiaries in other provinces.
Tian Xin took a taxi and went straight to the place.
As a listed company, Rumeng’s scale and management are first-class.
As she got off the car, she looked up. The office building towered into the sky, with the huge characters "Ru Meng" (Like a Dream) inscribed halfway across the exterior wall. She walked over and asked the staff at the entrance booth for information.
"You can't come in without an appointment!" The staff stopped her with a cold face.
"Then let me ask, has she come to work today? When does your design department usually get off work? Can I wait for her here?"
"I don't know! Whatever you want!"
It seems that it is impossible to find it from here!
Tian Xin walked around the company. Besides the main entrance, the other smaller doors were also guarded by security personnel. To enter, one had to make an appointment and register their information.
"Just give her a call! You can make an appointment and see her anytime!" A security guard at the side door suggested to her.
"I called, but no one answered!" Tian Xin said, "How about you call for me?"
How is this possible? The security guard gave her a ruthless look and ignored her!
Alas...it seems I can only wait!
She returned to the company gate and found a step to sit on. She waited from the afternoon until dark, but when everyone had left, there was still no sign of Zhen Zhen.
Helplessly, she could only return to Master Mo's shop first! Finding someone would require further consideration!
Master Mo was working on a sewing machine in the shop. After listening to her story, he offered only one suggestion:
"This matter is not simple. If you want to know who is behind this, you have to find a way to investigate this Zhen Zhen first!"
"But I don't even know where she is now. Where do I start looking?"
Tian Xin looked melancholy, leaning on the sofa in Master Mo's shop, playing with a tasseled collar.
Speaking of Master Mo's shop, it was truly bizarre. She didn't know if it was because Master Mo was too loose, or because the clothes were so expensive. She had been there several times, but she hadn't seen many customers. She did have quite a few people coming in for custom orders, all coming in and out to get measurements or pick up clothes. The samples on the shelves and walls were rarely bought.
"Hey, Master Mo, I have a question?" She turned her head and tilted it to watch Master Mo pedaling the sewing machine "click, click", and couldn't help asking.
"You say!" Master Mo raised his head and smiled faintly, but his hands did not stop moving.
She sat up, put the collar back on the table, and walked towards Master Mo's workbench.
"Does your store only accept custom orders?"
"No?"
"Then why haven't I seen anyone buy these cheongsams even though I've been here so many times?" She glanced at the samples on the wall. "These cheongsams have been hanging there for so long, and no one's buying them. Are they too expensive?"
Master Mo laughed again, but this time, she didn't even raise her head, and remained focused on the work in her hands.
"Just because no one buys doesn't mean I won't ship," she said flatly, "Haven't you seen how many orders come in and out for custom orders?"
"Yes, I saw it, so I was curious!" She walked to the shelf, picked up a cheongsam, looked at it, and tried it on herself in the mirror: "You have so many custom-made styles here, and they are all so novel. Are they all designed by you and your team?"
"Of course not?" Master Mo stopped, changed a set of silk threads on the sewing machine, stepped on the pedal again, and "click-click" hemmed a skirt.
"All the styles you can see are designed by my clients. Of course, there are also some of my own designs."
Master Mo said: "I am just like you, I don't have a team. I am too lazy to run it!"
"Customer? Are you someone like me who orders bulk orders from you?"
"right!"
"No wonder, I was wondering how you could be so amazing. You own such a large garment factory at such a young age, and you still have the energy to take on these custom orders!"
She was indeed thin in the mirror. When she put on the cheongsam, it didn't curve at all. She looked completely unsightly. She smiled, turned around, and went back to the fitting room to change.
"If one day, I mean if, ha, you have no customers to order, what are you going to do?"
She hung the cheongsam back on the rack and asked another question casually.
Master Mo was still hemming the skirt, still smiling faintly, and said, "That's impossible!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"certainly!"
Master Mo raised his head, turned the hemmed skirt over, held it in his hand and looked at it, then said with a smile: "I have been selling cheongsams since I was 20 years old. The reason I have been able to survive in a place like Yiwu for so many years, in addition to my craftsmanship, is word-of-mouth publicity.
You've seen a lot of people come to me for custom orders. I'm a very forthright person. I make whatever looks good on each person, all for the sake of this reputation! In other words, it's this reputation that's kept me going for so long. Otherwise, why would you come back to me?"
"So if one of your designs becomes a hit and the original designer no longer wants to work with you, will you mediate with her for the sake of the business?"
Having said that, she walked over to help Master Mo tidy up the scattered balls of thread on the sewing machine, smiled faintly, and observed Master Mo's reaction with the corner of her eyes!
Master Mo didn't even look at her, still smiling faintly: "Are you talking about yourself again?"
"No, no, I was just making an analogy!" She laughed awkwardly, "It's just an analogy! Haha..."
"Girl,"
Master Mo put down the clothes in his hand, pulled her over and sat her on the sofa, and said earnestly:
"Regardless of whether there is someone behind this or not, the most important thing for us now is to find Zhen Zhen first.
As a partner, I have a piece of advice for you: don’t employ people you doubt, and trust people you employ!
If you knew from the beginning that Zhen Zhen was not a good person, but still insisted on cooperating with her, then the cause of this matter lies with you, and the consequences now should also be borne by you.
On the other hand, if there really is someone else behind her, then let’s just…”
Master Mo leaned close to her and whispered to her for a while...
