Meanwhile, Hu Lou and Wen Qinglian were in Wen Qinglian's studio. The floor was a mess, and Hu Lou sat on the sofa, coldly watching Wen Qinglian go crazy.
"Damn it! Cui Qingling, die! Die!" With that, another cup worth over a thousand yuan was thrown on the ground and shattered into pieces.
"I told you not to get too cocky. It was a perfectly good exhibition, why did you have to invite them?" Hu Lou's expression wasn't exactly pleasant either.
The two are now in the same boat; their fates are intertwined. If Wen Qinglian gets into trouble, he will be implicated as well.
He even suspected that something here was cursed against him, because nothing had gone smoothly since he returned to China!
Having finally resolved the problem with Tang Zhiyi, I thought Wen Qinglian would be of some use, but I never expected that she would get herself into such a big mess right after announcing her engagement!
"Of all the people you plagiarized, why did you have to plagiarize Cui Qingling's studio? Other studios might just give you some money or benefits and that's it, but you plagiarized Cui Qingling, do you think Meng Wan would let you off the hook?"
Hu Lou's tone was somewhat aggressive. "If things collapse now, how will we proceed?! What a useless bunch, they only know how to drag us down."
"Meng Wan, Meng Wan! If you value her so much, why don't you arrange a marriage between you?" Wen Qinglian retorted without thinking, her face dark.
Hu Lou, whose sore spot had been hit, was speechless. Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!" Wen Qinglian shouted impatiently.
"Sister Wen..." The assistant's heart was pounding, and her voice trembled slightly, as if she were afraid that the broken cup on the ground would be the next one to fall.
"What's up."
"Many customers are requesting refunds, and the online comments are also..." The assistant didn't dare to continue and could only hand over her phone.

The trending search terms kept changing, and new comments kept popping up in the comments section.
@ShaheShala: Hugs to Qingling baby, plagiarists get lost!
@MoxiMoxi: Seriously? Who doesn't know that Wen Qinglian was expelled from a university abroad for plagiarism before returning to China? My senior, who was in the same year as her, was supposedly caught red-handed for plagiarism—the evidence was irrefutable! [Attached image]
@JustWantToDrinkIced: Miss Wen is really something else, plagiarism is perfectly justified, defend our Qingling baby!
@JusticeFromHeaven: Originality deserves respect; plagiarists don't deserve to be designers! Boycott plagiarists, boycott Wens!
@ZeroingTeamAlliance: Dear friends, while you're criticizing the plagiarists, don't forget to tune in to Qingling's live stream tomorrow at 2 PM! We're confident Qingling will bring us even bigger surprises! Also, we've already contacted the studio and are actively cooperating with their efforts to protect our rights. Please remain calm, use your words carefully, and don't let anyone use you against you!
@Cui Qingling: Jinghong welcomes all designers to come and exchange ideas, but we will never tolerate plagiarism. This is not only disrespectful to all designers at Jinghong, but also to all original creators. This time, we will fight for our rights to the end!
Upon seeing Cui Qingling's comment, Wen Qinglian could no longer control her temper. She gripped her phone tightly and threw it against the wall, so fast that her assistant couldn't stop her.
That's her phone!
The assistant, disregarding everything else, hurriedly went over and picked up her phone. The screen was completely shattered, and she couldn't even turn it on.
The assistant was on the verge of tears. If she hadn't been a new intern, she wouldn't have been pushed in to take the fall.
"Go out." Hu Lou rubbed his temples.
The assistant opened her mouth again and again, but after being glared at by Wen Qinglian, she could only leave dejectedly.
"How about it?"
"Sister Zhang, can I get my phone reimbursed?" The assistant was on the verge of tears.
Sister Zhang also felt a little bad for her, so she quickly nodded, signed her name, and told her to get reimbursed by the finance department.
The office was deathly silent.
"What's the use of just throwing a tantrum here?" Hu Lou's eyes were full of disdain. The two of them were now mutually disgusted and neither of them could stand the other, yet they were in the same boat.
"What else can we do?"
"Give it a cold shoulder," Hu Lou said calmly.
"Don't respond to anything. It's already been confirmed. Saying anything will only cause resentment. Don't apologize either. As long as there's no apology, it's not solid evidence. Buy some more celebrity gossip from paparazzi to release and divert public attention."
"Will this work?" Wen Qinglian asked, half believing and half doubting.
"The effect is only for a few days. After two months, the public will forget about it and go about their business. Then they can hire online trolls to wash it clean again."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qinglian calmed down.
"These are the phone numbers of famous paparazzi in the industry. Pick one with some influence and quickly change the subject." Hu Lou opened his contacts and placed them in front of Wen Qinglian.
Wen Qinglian made a note of it and, without delay, immediately called.
On the other side, Yan Nian and Meng Wan were keeping up with the factory's progress, Cui Qingling was in charge of confirming the final results, and even Su Ping was pulled over to help, while Lan Xing went to follow up on the setup of the exhibition hall.
According to her, it can only be more luxurious than Wen Qinglian's! Whether it's facilities or venue, it can only win, not lose! From the moment they enter, they must completely crush Wen Qinglian.
Time was ticking away, and everyone was racing against the clock to prepare for tomorrow's exhibition. Meanwhile, a trending topic quietly appeared online, and soon, related entries dominated the entire page.
