Chapter 311 Infringement (15)
In less than an hour, Master Mo came back with a mop.
Tian Xin was talking on the phone in the car. I don’t know what she said, but her face was full of anger and impatience.
Seeing Master Mo get in the car, she turned her head to take a look and then hung up the phone.
"How is it? Did you see anyone?" She relaxed her frown and asked Master Mo with a smile.
Master Mo didn't answer. Instead, he came closer to her and looked her over carefully. Finally, he asked, "Did you cry just now?"
"No... no! Why am I crying?" She turned her head and looked out the window in panic, then asked again, "Have you seen the director?"
"No!" said Master Mo.
"No?"
She turned her head again, her face full of shock and confusion: "Then what took you so long to come back?"
"What's with that expression on your face? Does my coming back late have anything to do with not seeing the director?"
Master Mo was also puzzled: "What do you think that Rumeng place is? I have to look around before I go in, and whether I can find it depends on luck. Besides, you didn't ask around before asking me to pretend to be a cleaner. The cleaners there have their own areas divided and the management is very strict. I was exposed the moment I walked in..."
"Discovered?"
"yes!"
"No wonder, alas..." She covered her face and leaned back, sighing deeply.
Master Mo saw that she looked upset, and his tone softened immediately: "What's wrong with you? Who called you just now? Are you crying?"
"That video was uploaded to the forum half an hour ago!" She turned her head to look out the window, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "The fat girl sent me a message saying they don't want the 300,000 yuan anymore, and told me to hire a lawyer and prepare for a lawsuit!"
"What?"
"The website is currently running a shopping festival. Once the lawsuit goes to court, netizens will undoubtedly discover the connection between Yuehua and 'Chang'an Avenue.' By then, let alone the shopping festival, it's unclear whether the website can even continue operating. We might even have to deal with 'Rumeng' again..."
“It’s not that bad!”
Master Mo interrupted her and smiled at her: "Don't be discouraged, I saw Zhen Zhen!"
"What?"
"I said, I saw Zhen Zhen!" Master Mo repeated.
"Really?" Tian Xin was surprised and delighted. She immediately turned around to ask for confirmation: "Did you really see her? Where is she?"
"In the company!" Master Mo said, "This director is a real bastard. He looks like a demon dog, but he doesn't do anything for us!"
She was filled with righteous indignation, and her mouth was full of verbal attacks on the director.
It turned out that Zhen Zhen hadn't been ignoring Tian Xin's calls. She'd cut off all contact with the outside world since the day she sued her. The design director, Luo Tian, had taken her phone and placed her under house arrest in the company, preventing her from leaving or meeting anyone else.
When Master Mo thought of Zhen Zhen being so cautious and crying in front of her, she gritted her teeth in anger and wanted to rush to Luo Tian and give him two big slaps to vent her anger.
"What happened after that? What else did Zhen Zhen say?" Tian Xin asked.
Master Mo glanced at her and didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took out his phone from his pocket and pressed a few buttons. Then, the recording of the conversation between Zhen Zhen and her came out.
"The company is facing internal and external troubles right now. Many designers are just passing through with the title of Ru Meng, but they don't have any outstanding works to show for it."
This is Zhen Zhen's voice, with a crying tone.
"Last month, the company received an invitation to participate in an overseas exhibition. This exhibition has a high status in the industry and many companies cannot compete. So for Rumeng, this is a very rare opportunity."
"Then what?" Master Mo asked.
"But the company's new works are all similar in style to the previous ones, nothing special. In order to participate in the exhibition, the director went to many places to find works and designers that could represent Rumeng, and in the end..."
"Finally, he found you?"
"No, it's not me!" Zhen Zhen said, "It's Yuehua."
"So, he asked you to come here so that he could take 'Moonlight' to an overseas exhibition, but he found out that 'Moonlight' wasn't your original work. His hopes were dashed, right?"
Master Mo hit the nail on the head and asked directly: "Then why didn't he let you go? Since he found out it wasn't your work, why didn't he go find Tian Xin?"
"I don't know either," Zhen Zhen said. "A week ago, the director came to me and asked me about the design process for 'Moonlight'. He also said he was taking me to an overseas exhibition. He told me to stay in the office for a few days to prepare and not to contact anyone else. He also took away my phone, saying he was afraid someone might take advantage of me."
"You don't know?" Master Mo sneered and asked her, "Do you really not know, or have you teamed up with him to sue us? You look young, how can you be so scheming? Do you believe what you say? He's a director, he's about to enter an exhibition and he doesn't have any works yet. Time is so tight. If he doesn't look for original works, what is he keeping a fake girl like you here for?"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhen Zhen suddenly lost control of her emotions and screamed, "What do you mean by fake? You said he sued Tian Xin? When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
After a pause, her voice came back: "Oh, I see. You came to me because you think the director and I did this together, right? Did Tian Xin ask you to come? Is it possible that in her eyes, I'm such a shameless person?"
She cried as she spoke, and after a few words she broke down in sobs. Luckily, it was lunchtime when she spoke, and there was no one around, otherwise, with just a few shouts, Master Mo would have been caught.
She quickly approached her and whispered a few reminders.
Zhen Zhen probably realized this and immediately stopped crying. She continued, "I really didn't mean to sue Sister Tian Xin. Before I designed 'Yue Hua,' I signed an agreement with her. It was agreed that she would provide the inspiration and I would be responsible for the design. After the show, we had nothing to do with each other. How could I possibly steal her design?"
Agreement? What agreement?
Tian Xin was stunned and muttered, "I don't remember signing any agreement with Zhen Zhen?"
"Think about it carefully. I don't think she's lying," Master Mo said. "Although this girl looks smart, she's actually quite clueless. She can be easily tricked into telling someone something with just a few words. She doesn't necessarily collude with the director. She doesn't have that kind of cunning."
"Then...what else did she say?"
The recording suddenly stopped and there was no follow-up.
Master Mo spread his hands helplessly: "Just as I said this, someone came. I saw it was a man, so I quickly sneaked out. I don't know if that person is the director. If he finds out, Zhen Zhen will be in trouble!" Yes, what if what Zhen Zhen said is true...
That, that agreement...
Is that possible?
She was startled, quickly took out her cell phone and dialed a number...
