At the headquarters of the Si Group, the head of the 723 Convenience Store's New Year limited-edition special project planning team, after receiving more than 10 phone calls, rushed off to attend an emergency meeting in a state of panic.
“I checked the time that Grandma Liu’s grandson posted the video; it was posted 5 days ago. The procrastinating designer in charge of the dragon pattern cake submitted the draft 6 days ago.”
"If it's just a coincidence, then this is really outrageous. Could it be that our blueprints have been leaked?"
"Contact the designer immediately and send them his design process. Designers usually have backups on their computers."
"I just contacted the designer, and he said that there was a burglary at his home tonight, and a lot of handwritten notes were stolen. His computer was also hacked!"
"Damn, what a coincidence! Now we're in a real bind!"
"Ah, Blue Sky TV posted on Weibo to support this craftswoman, Grandma Liu. Blue Sky TV said that Grandma Liu's embroidery pattern is the theme logo for their New Year's Eve gala this year. Now netizens will mock us even more, saying that we've bitten off more than we can chew by plagiarism, that we directly copied their New Year's Eve gala logo."
"But I've never heard of Blue Sky TV's New Year's Eve Gala ever having a specially designed logo."
"Wait a minute, who is the title sponsor of Blue Sky TV's New Year's Eve Gala this year?"
——“Sujiang’s delicious food!”
"Damn it, this must be Sugie!"
"Do the chairman and president know about this?"
"Tang Yu has already reported it."
"General Manager Si told us to hold back for now and just continue with what we were doing."
"ah?"
The crowd was puzzled, but if even the emperor wasn't in a hurry, why were they?
"Here, this is the milk tea and cake that Mr. Si ordered for everyone. You've all worked hard this morning."
"Everyone, stay calm and don't let the criticism break you."
Tang Yu and several administrative staff distributed the milk tea and cakes they had to everyone. As soon as there was food, everyone's mouths were shut. Although they didn't understand, they just did whatever the leader said.

New Star TV.
When Li Han returned to the company after a field trip in the morning, she noticed that the way people looked at her had changed.
She could feel the disdain and contempt in their eyes.
She seemed to ignore everyone's stares and went straight back to her workstation. However, there was a piece of printed paper stuck to the back of her office chair, with the words "Plagiarism is shameful" printed on it.
Li Han remembered the trending topics everyone was discussing on the subway on her way back. She expressionlessly peeled off the printed paper and threw it into the trash can.
Anyway, she didn't believe that the Si Group would do something like plagiarism.
After putting away her office supplies, Li Han suddenly remembered that she needed to find the team leader's pass to interview artists backstage at another TV station this afternoon. She got up and went to the team leader's workstation: "Team leader, do you have the reporter pass issued by Blue Sky TV here?"
The team leader glanced at Li Han and said in a very official tone, "Li Han, I regret to inform you that your qualification to interview the artists at the New Year's Eve Gala rehearsal at Blue Sky TV this afternoon has been revoked."
In Li Han's live stream, all the netizens who were righteous and indignant poured in and flooded the chat with comments.
[Great! It's so satisfying to see Li Han disqualified from the interview! How could she plagiarize an elderly woman like that? Doesn't she worry about upsetting her health?]
[Previously, the Si Group even went out of their way to righteously help the victims of the defamation against the Princess Staircase by taking online legal action, but now it seems like it was all just a show.]
[You're threatening to take legal action? You're infringing on the rights of a 70-year-old craftsman—aren't you ashamed?]
[Hilarious! The Si Group thought they could bully an unknown old man without anyone noticing, but little did they know this old man was the logo designer for Blue Sky TV!]
[Has the Si Group lost all conscience?! They marketed themselves so well on variety shows, how much money did they pay the production team? I even suspect that He Qinqin's annoying personality is scripted.]
Indeed, He Qinqin has very few scenes, and when she does appear, they are often in scenes that are easy to criticize, making one think of conspiracy theories.
The team leader, mindful of Li Han's status as Si Jiuyin's goddaughter, tried his best to explain: "This time, the interview team decided to send Zhao Jiao. She didn't appear on camera in the last financial interview, so the team decided to make up for it. You can wait for the next opportunity."
Zhao Jiao walked over and took Li Han's hand: "I'm sorry, Xiao Li, the group's decision is for your own good. The Si family is already embroiled in the controversy of plagiarizing the logo of Blue Sky TV's New Year's Eve Gala, and now you're in an awkward position."
Li Han seemed not to understand Zhao Jiao's sarcastic remark and replied with a big smile: "Thank you, you're so kind!"
"However, whether the Si Group plagiarized or not is still inconclusive. Senior Zhao should be more careful when speaking to reporters."
Zhao Jiao's words caught in her throat. She gave an awkward laugh and said, "I was being careless with my words. I hope you can understand. I hope you won't blame me."
"People only blame you when you do something wrong."
Li Han left after saying that. Zhao Jiao snorted. Li Han got an A+ grade in the last financial interview. If it weren't for He Qinqin's mess, she might have gotten an A+ as well. After all, Pei Zhaoan was in that financial interview!
Zhao Jiao received the backstage pass for Blue Sky TV from the team leader and was somewhat proud. Blue Sky TV's New Year's Eve Gala was sponsored by Shan Jiang, and the artists they invited were all currently popular young actresses and actors. Her trip was definitely worthwhile.
"By the way, why didn't He Qinqin come to work today?"
Zhao Jiao scoffed, "Is it because I slapped you so badly you're too ashamed to show your face in public?"
