Having anticipated that Lin Yiyun would mobilize her public relations team, Tang Li made preparations.
She got up and took Tang Sui with her.
Lu Zhixing did not accompany him.
After finding a small room to sit down, the man handed Tang Li a business card.
"Hello, Ms. Tang."
Logically, out of courtesy, I should accept this business card.
His name was written on the business card: Public Relations Director, Gu Jingchen.
But Tang Li leaned back slightly and smiled:
"Director Gu, please speak frankly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Seeing that his purpose had been exposed, Gu Jingchen spoke frankly:
"May I ask, Miss Tang, who designed this dress?"
Tang Li raised an eyebrow:
"What? Is there something wrong with my dress?"
Gu Jingchen praised:
"Miss Tang is stunningly beautiful and has perfectly showcased the advantages of this dress, making her so beautiful that it's impossible to look away."
That's an exaggeration, not even as good as Shen Yu's.
"You can't take your eyes off me, are you sure you're not trying to be a pervert?" Tang Sui was impatient and hated people who put on airs.
Gu Jingchen then noticed Tang Sui. As a fashion designer, Tang Sui couldn't pull off those gowns, so she always wore professional casual wear to these kinds of occasions, never trying to attract attention, and never making a mistake.
Her conventional attire, coupled with her unassuming personality, makes her easily overlooked.
"Miss Tang, and who is this?"
Tang Li smiled and said, "This is also Miss Tang."
They all share the surname Tang.
Gu Jingchen extended his hand to her: "Nice to meet you."
Tang Sui refused:
"It's better not to meet you. You're the public relations director. Meeting you in a setting like this probably won't be anything good."
Gu Jingchen smiled helplessly and had no choice but to be frank:
“I’ve been asked by Ms. Julie to meet with the designer of this dress. Tonight at the Oasis Awards, Ms. Tang’s dress is the same as Ms. Lin’s. This involves copyright issues related to the product design drawings, and I would like to have a talk with the dress designer.”
Julie?
Surprisingly, they didn't directly say that they were commissioned by Lin Yiyun.
Tang Li didn't rush to push Tang Sui into the public eye, but instead asked Gu Jingchen:
"Director Gu, let me put it more clearly: Did you come to me to say that my dress infringed on someone else's product design copyright?"
Gu Jingchen took out his phone and handed it to Tang Li:
"Please take a look, Miss Tang. The two dresses are indeed too similar. And since Miss Lin is a public figure, therefore..."
All this going around in circles boils down to wishful thinking.
Tang Li snorted coldly:
"Therefore, Ms. Lin, please take the initiative to apologize. As a public figure, you should have even stricter standards for your every move and word."
I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
Tang Li laid his cards on the table.
If it weren't for Nanxing's sake, Gu Jingchen wouldn't have taken on this mess.
After all, Julie has already admitted that she stole someone else's design drawings.
This is a game we're destined to lose.
What Gu Jingchen needed to do was figure out how to make Lin Yiyun lose in a more dignified way.
“Ms. Tang, I still hope to meet the designer of this dress and have a talk with her in person.”
Gu Jingchen was still struggling in his death throes.
Tang Li smiled faintly:
"There's nothing to talk about. You've met and spoken to each other. Now, we'll wait for Ms. Lin to issue a public apology. Otherwise, Ms. Lin can expect a lawyer's letter."
After saying that, Tang Li stood up.
Seeing them about to leave, Gu Jingchen stood up to stop them, but Tang Sui kicked him.
"Director Gu, please be mindful of boundaries and maintain a safe distance."
That kick was a fatal wound for a man.
Gu Jingchen clutched his body, sweating profusely: "Miss Tang, why did you resort to violence?"
Tang Sui hummed twice:
"You're looking for a dress designer, right? That's me. To tell you the truth, I've applied for copyright protection for this dress, from the design drawings to the finished garment and the sample. I'm waiting for Lin Yiyun to give me a public apology."
It sounds like a setup that was planned long ago.
Gu Jingchen has been doing crisis public relations for many years and has encountered many difficult problems, but he has never been so... unmotivated to win as he is today.
Shamelessly, Gu Jingchen proposed:
"Miss Lin's intention is to resolve this privately with the two of you."
As long as this matter isn't brought into the open, there's still room for maneuver.
Gu Jingchen, fearing he hadn't explained things clearly enough, added:
“Compensation and apology can be done privately. Ms. Tang, you can name your price, and I will try my best to get as much as possible for you.”
Although Gu Jingchen knew in his heart that their purpose in doing this was not to get money.
Does an apology offered in private still count as an apology?
Tang Sui raised her foot again, startling Gu Jingchen into retreating repeatedly.
This girl has no sportsmanship; she kicks people without leaving any trace.
If he gets kicked twice more by her, he might really be the only heir left in the Gu family.
"Miss Tang, you can't say that."
That's not how you say it.
How should I say it?
Tang Sui merely pulled her foot back, but Gu Jingchen was already on guard in every direction.
Tang Sui frowned, seeing his cowardly appearance.
“Go back and tell Lin Yiyun to watch her hands from now on. If she tries to reach for the wrong things again, I will not let her off easily. This time, just apologize simply. If you are sincere enough, the compensation can be waived.”
They're not short of that dirty money anyway.
As Tang Sui walked out of the room, she turned back:
"If I don't receive a public apology from Lin Yiyun by midnight tonight, she can expect my lawyer's letter. Remember, it has to be a public apology from her personally, not from her studio."
After saying that, the two sisters left gracefully.
Once back in his seat, Lu Zhixing had already gotten the answer from their smiling faces.
Tang Li sat in the middle, and Lu Zhixing leaned over and said:
"Next, we will announce the winner of the Most Popular Actress Award."
Need I say more?
The online statistics have already been released, and Lin Yiyun is far ahead with an absolute advantage.
This award is rightfully hers.
Besides, someone of her status and position attending such an awards ceremony must be aiming to win an award, right?
This kind of award, which is uncontroversial, is a happy event for fans, but for the audience, it offers absolutely no reason to look forward to it.
On stage, the award presenter was still trying to keep everyone in suspense, but at this moment, Lin Yiyun's fan club had already raised their support signs. Tang Li looked in the direction of Lin Yiyun and found that she had taken off her cape and was ready to get up and go on stage to accept the award at any time.
Everyone knew perfectly well that the award belonged to Eason Lin.
So everyone's eyes turned towards Lin Yiyun.
Finally, under the host's guidance, the award presenter said in a drawn-out tone:
"The winner of the Oasis Night's Most Popular Actress award is..."
Before her name was even uttered, Lin Yiyun had already stood up, and the spotlight immediately shone on her, with everyone applauding half a second in advance.
Then, three words echoed throughout the entire awards ceremony:
"Zhao Yuge".
At that moment, the entire audience fell silent for half a second.
