Chapter 103: Painful Lessons
"It's a plagiarism incident! You don't know, because of this incident, the sales of MY's new products have been rapidly declining recently. Some people even went to the store to throw paint, rotten leaves and eggs. I've already closed the store today and will reopen it after this incident is over."
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of this matter."
"By the way, Yang Yutong submitted her resignation today."
There was no trace of surprise in Chi Muzhen's eyes. "She has already achieved her goal, and there is really no reason for her to stay in MY anymore."
Seeing that she wasn't nervous at all, Shen Tian frowned and asked, "When are you going to make it public that she's a traitor?"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer, it's not time yet."
"If we wait any longer, I'm afraid MY won't be able to hold on."
"Approve Yang Yutong's resignation application and complete the process today."
Shock flashed in Shen Tian's eyes. "Are you sure you're not letting the tiger go back to the mountain?! If she leaves Rongcheng directly, this matter will become very difficult."
"Don't worry, she won't leave."
"Are you so sure?"
"Whether she leaves or not, I have a way to resolve this matter."
Looking at Chi Muzhen's confident expression, Shen Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
She had seen Chi Muzhen's abilities, so she was willing to believe in him.
Soon, Yang Yutong's resignation report was approved.
She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and a little uneasiness arose in her heart, but it was quickly diluted by the joy of leaving MY.
Her uncle had promised that as soon as she left MY, he would immediately arrange for her to join Jinxiu and be the chief designer.
Jinxiu has the support of the Huo family, and entering Jinxiu has always been her goal!
After completing the resignation procedures, Yang Yutong happily left MY and didn't even take away the things at her workstation.
In the evening, Yang Yutong called Yang Cheng and told him that she had resigned from MY.
After listening, Yang Cheng said, "I understand. I'll make arrangements with Jinxiu. You can just wait to start work. However, you need to change your stage name. After all, your previous stage name has been saddled with the reputation of plagiarism, which is not good for your future development."
Yang Yutong looked excited and nodded quickly, "Okay, I understand! Thank you, uncle!"
The next morning, Yang Yutong entered Jinxiu and started working.
At the same time, Chi Muzhen also found the information he wanted.
As she expected, the design of the suspected plagiarized clothing was not drawn by Yang Yutong.
Even before handing in this design drawing, Yang Yutong's design drawing was very mediocre, and there was not even the slightest highlight to be found.
Chi Muzhen picked up the car keys, stood up and left MY.
She drove to a residential complex in the westernmost part of Chengdu and went there according to the address on the document.
Because this community is quite old and the apartment buildings were painted on, they are no longer very clear, so Chi Muzhen spent more than ten minutes to find the correct address.
She walked to the door of 301 and knocked. Not long after, a girl about twenty-one or twenty-two years old opened the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "You must be Qin Xue, right? I know you are short of money, I can help you."
An hour later, Chi Muzhen left Qin Xue's house.
The next morning, a piece of news suddenly broke out on the Internet: the clothes of Qili Clothing were also copied from other people's designs!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately set the Internet on fire.
After all, Rosewood had sent a lawyer's letter to MY before, and also made a big fuss about MY's plagiarism. Within a few days, Rosewood not only gained the recognition of a large number of fans, but also made a lot of money.
If Rosewood also plagiarized, it would definitely cause public outrage.
Soon, Guili replied.
Rosewood V:
Thank you very much for your attention and support!
Regarding the accusation of plagiarism against our company, we are very sorry for occupying public resources and are now clarifying and responding to this incident.
First of all, our company has always been committed to ensuring the originality and uniqueness of all products, and highly respects the intellectual property rights of designers. We firmly oppose plagiarism and have never accepted, supported or encouraged any form of plagiarized ideas or designs!
In this incident, we carefully checked the products and design drafts involved and did not find any form of plagiarism. If the whistleblower has any evidence of plagiarism, please contact our company in time and we will definitely handle this matter fairly and impartially!
Finally, we will continue to work hard to do our job well and strengthen the protection and respect of intellectual property rights. Thank you!
Less than five minutes after Guili responded, the whistleblower released an electronic draft of the design drawing, which showed the date was one year ago. However, Guili's new product had just been on the market for a few months. When they accused MY of plagiarism, the design draft they released was only a few days earlier than MY.
After seeing this news, people started discussing it online.
[This is outrageous! This is outrageous! I didn't expect that Rosewood is also a plagiarist! And they even have the nerve to criticize MY for plagiarism! How shameless!]
[The person above, I have no objection to you criticizing Guili, but there's no need to whitewash MY. After all, both companies plagiarized, so neither is a good thing!]
[Hahaha, I've never seen anything like this before. This is the first time I've seen someone plagiarize and hammer plagiarize. It's on this nesting doll!]
[Guili, stop playing dead. What you just said was so high-sounding. Now you have nothing to say, right?]
I actually don't think that this is the fault of Rosewood. Their attitude has been very good. This design has never appeared anywhere. How could Rosewood prove that it was plagiarized? I can only say that Rosewood is also a victim!
…
Seeing the comments below, Yang Cheng's eyes were cold, "Immediately contact Weibo and remove these trending searches!"
After saying that, he immediately called Yang Yutong.
"Yutong, what's with the internet saying that the design was plagiarized?! You didn't draw the design?!"
Yang Yutong was also extremely anxious. She had never expected Qin Xue to reveal this matter. She gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, I'm on my way to find that person now. I will definitely be able to resolve this matter!"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng was so angry that he kicked the chair next to him and said angrily: "You idiot! You are going to kill me!"
After angrily hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng coldly said to the assistant beside him, "Go notify the PR department and issue a statement saying that Rosewood knew nothing, and promise to compensate the designer whose rights were infringed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wenkang called.
"Boss Yang, what's going on online?!"
Hearing the anger in Zhao Wenkang's tone, Yang Cheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry. This matter will definitely not affect Jinxiu. Don't worry! I will definitely handle it!"
"You'd better keep your word!"
If the things that Yang Cheng and I did in private were to be exposed, let alone continuing to be the general manager of Jinxiu, it would be better for me not to go in and work on the sewing machine!
On the other hand, MY people also saw the online discussion.
Chen Tian quickly went to find Chi Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, did you see anyone online reporting that Guili plagiarized?!"
Chi Muzhen nodded and said calmly, "I see."
"Why are you reacting so calmly?!"
“Are you surprised by the expected?”
Shock flashed in Shen Tian's eyes, "Did you do this?"
"Um."
"But this won't cause any harm to Guili. They can get away with it by simply insisting they didn't know about the plagiarism."
Chi Muzhen smiled slightly and said slowly: "You will know if you continue reading."
Just when netizens were furiously cursing Guili and MY, Yang Yutong found Qin Xue.
As soon as they met, she slapped Qin Xue.
"Qin Xue, what did you promise me?!"
