Ye Qing looked at Liu Wei with a half-smile, and after she finished speaking, he asked casually, "Finished?"
Liu Wei said in a bluffing tone, "Ye Qing, I thought you were so powerful, but who knew you were nothing special."
Watching Liu Wei turn away, her back looking somewhat smug, Ye Qing said with a smile, "After you stole my manuscript, did you already show it to your family? What if your family's workshop-like factory finishes making the clothes before Zitai Fashion?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Liu Wei turned around abruptly, looking at Ye Qing in disbelief, wondering how Ye Qing knew.
Ye Qing sneered. There were some things she wouldn't do if she wasn't sure she could handle. Just like at the beginning, when Liu Wei took advantage of her kindness to get her to take those photos, Ye Qing didn't have much leverage at the time, and all she could do was threaten Liu Wei a little.
In fact, when Ye Qing was thinking about how to get revenge on Liu Wei, he wondered whether he should just draw a draft and let her take it, or something else.
After weighing the options, Ye Qing decided to take a more cautious approach and instead drew the new products showcased at the Zitai Fashion Show.
At that time, people's awareness of copyright was not very strong. After a new product came out, someone would imitate it. However, in general, small factories would only start producing and imitating the styles of large factories after the large factories had released their new products.
It now seems that Liu Wei's small workshop was established earlier than Zitai Fashion. Although she doesn't have a strong sense of copyright, Zitai Fashion is such a big company that it has spent so much money on fashion shows and such. If someone beats it to it, it certainly can't just let it go.
Ye Qing knew that Liu Wei's family had a small workshop because Xi Yue had told her.
Xi Yue had been looking for a suitable tailor shop to transform into a luxury haute couture model based on some concepts she learned during her studies abroad. So, she visited almost every tailor shop in Nancheng that she could name.
Including Liu Wei's family, but Liu Wei's family was the first one she rejected because her family always did what others did.
That day, Xi Yue came to the school to find Ye Qing and accidentally saw Liu Wei. She asked Ye Qing a few questions, and that's how Ye Qing found out about this.
Seeing Liu Wei's shock at how much he knew, Ye Qing smiled and left. He added, "Let's see who laughs last."
In the past, Liu Wei's family wouldn't have been able to produce the new design so quickly. Although they weren't very aware of copyright, they did know to avoid certain taboos.
Just like clothing stores often have signs that say "No entry for competitors, unseemly behavior will be punished." They may not have any awareness of copyright, but they know that selling clothes requires novel and unique designs to make them sell well.
Moreover, Liu Wei did not know that this was a new product at the Zitai Fashion Show. She thought it was drawn by Ye Qing herself, so there would be no problem when she told her family.
Liu Wei is now truly frightened. She rushed home and told her family that even if the clothes were finished, they shouldn't be sold yet.
But her family members wouldn't listen to Liu Wei at all.
More importantly, Liu Wei's family owns a small workshop-style factory. They can only earn money by selling clothes; otherwise, they have no spare cash.
Liu Wei was extremely anxious because her family wouldn't listen, but she still hoped that maybe nothing would happen and that a big company like Zitai Fashion wouldn't notice them.
They certainly wouldn't notice, but Ye Qing would remind them.
Xi Yue knew about Ye Qing's plan and felt it wouldn't be right for Ye Qing to remind him, so she spoke to someone she knew at Taizi Fashion.
The next day, people from Zitai Fashion came to Liu Wei's house and ordered that the clothes could not be sold, or they would sue her.
In the 1990s, going to court was a fashionable term, and the thought of going to court was considered a very big deal.
So Liu Wei's family had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it, and Liu Wei was also blamed by her family.
As Ye Qing was heading to her shop, she happened to see Liu Wei returning home from school at the school gate, and Liu Wei blocked her way: "Are you satisfied now?"
“As a design student, I am not satisfied with the fact that the school has not punished you in any way,” Ye Qing said.
Enraged, Liu Wei raised her hand to hit Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was on guard, but just as Liu Wei's slap was about to hit her, Ye Qing was pulled away. Not only was she not hit by Liu Wei, but because Liu Wei used too much force in making the move to hit Ye Qing, after Ye Qing was pulled away, Liu Wei herself staggered and fell face down in front of Ye Qing's feet.
The person who pulled Ye Qing away was Xi Quan, who had come to the school to find her. Ye Qing took the opportunity to pull Xi Quan back two steps. Before she could say anything, she heard Xi Quan click his tongue and say, "It's not even the New Year yet, and you're already offering New Year's greetings? Even if it is, the gifts are a bit too much."
Just as Liu Wei was pressing her hands to the ground, enduring the ridicule of others as she stood up, a coin suddenly fell in front of her with a clinking sound.
Because it was thrown down, the coin spun around on the ground several times before stopping.
After stopping, the words "five points" were clearly reflected in Liu Wei's pupils.
The five-cent coin was thrown by Xi Quan. Ye Qing thought it was an accident. But then Ye Qing heard Xi Quan say, "Since you've given us such a big New Year's greeting, we can't not reciprocate. But we're not related, so I don't have any lucky money. Here's some change for you."
After Xi Quan finished speaking, the onlookers burst into laughter.
Ye Qing couldn't help but chuckle and chimed in, echoing Xi Quan's words, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
After saying that, Ye Qing pulled Xi Quan to leave, but Xi Quan saw that most of the people around them looked like students. He knew that they should all be students from Ye Qing's school, so Xi Quan raised his hand and intimately put his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder and said, "As your boyfriend, I have already been very restrained. It is already my kindness not to use the same methods against you. This is nothing."
The moment Xi Quan put his arm around her shoulder, Ye Qing was already on the verge of exploding. Who knew that Xi Quan would actually take the initiative to acknowledge her as his "boyfriend"? Ye Qing was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pinched Xi Quan's waist.
Xi Quan hissed in pain, quickly took Ye Qing's hand, and then looked magnanimously at Liu Wei, who had already stood up, and said, "You should know what I meant just now. If you bully Ye Qing again, I won't be so lenient."
Earlier, Xi Quan walked out of the crowd with his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder, looking quite dashing.
Once they were out of sight, Ye Qing broke free from Xi Quan, stomped hard on his foot, glared at Xi Quan, and left.
Jumping up and down at Ye Qing, who was completely ignoring him, Xi Quan shouted, "Don't you want to know how I used the evidence you gave me?"
