Chapter 195: Clearing the Court
"Sure, send it to my phone after you set the time and place."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen thought about it and decided to call Huo Yunting.
"I'm going to have dinner with Mr. Qi tonight, so you don't have to pick me up in the evening."
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Huo Yunting's unhappy voice came: "Qi Yunzhe?"
"Um."
"I'll go with you."
Chi Muzhen paused as he flipped through the documents, frowning and saying, "We're discussing business, it's not convenient for you to go."
Huo Yunting didn't say anything, but he didn't hang up the phone either.
Noticing that he was unhappy, Chi Muzhen said helplessly, "We are really here to discuss business. I'll be back after we're done, okay?"
"Then you must be back before nine o'clock, and no drinking allowed!"
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
At six o'clock in the evening, Chi Muzhen appeared at the agreed restaurant on time.
After sitting down opposite Qi Yunzhe, she smiled and said, "There was a traffic jam on the road. I'm sorry I'm late."
Qi Yunzhe handed her the menu and said, "You are not late, I am early."
Chi Muzhen took the menu, ordered two dishes she liked, and then gave the menu to Qi Yunzhe.
"I've never been to this restaurant before, so I'm not very good at ordering. Mr. Qi, please order the other dishes."
Noticing Chi Muzhen's alienation, Qi Yunzhe's eyes flashed with disappointment. He ordered two dishes and handed the menu to the waiter.
"That's all."
After the waiter left, Qi Yunzhe looked at Chi Muzhen and asked, "How are you and Yun Ting doing lately?"
"That's great, Mr. Qi. Let's talk about cooperation. MY's current cooperation with brands is mainly supplying them with goods. Brands just buy our designs and products. However, as far as I know, Qi has its own sub-brands."
Qi Yunzhe nodded, "Yes, but we plan to expand the market, and time is tight, so we need to cooperate with other companies."
"Well, Mr. Qi can tell me the specific needs."
During the meal, the two kept talking about work, and before they knew it, it was past nine o'clock.
It was not until Huo Yunting called that Chi Muzhen realized it was so late.
As soon as the call was connected, Huo Yunting's unhappy voice came over.
"Where are you now?"
Chi Muzhen felt a little guilty, "I'm still in the restaurant, but the conversation is almost over. I'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen looked at Qi Yunzhe and said, "Mr. Qi, we had a pleasant chat tonight. Let's talk about the details of the cooperation another day."
Qi Yunzhe smiled gently, "Okay."
The two walked out of the restaurant together. After Qi Yunzhe got in the car, he did not rush to start the car. Instead, he silently watched Chi Muzhen's car disappear from his sight before starting the car and leaving.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Chi Muzhen returned to the villa.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Huo Yunting sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, as if someone owed him millions.
Chi Muzhen knew she was in the wrong, so she changed her shoes and sat down next to him. She looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about the time while talking about business. Next time..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Yunting kissed him.
Feeling that he was more domineering today than usual, Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed, and she put her arms around his neck and took the initiative to deepen the kiss.
After the kiss, Chi Muzhen was so weak that she had no strength left and could only lie on Huo Yunting's chest and breathe.
A cold and domineering voice came from above his head, with no room for argument.
"Stay away from Qi Yunzhe from now on!"
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen was a little dissatisfied. She sat up and looked at him and said, "MY is discussing cooperation with Qi Corporation. We will definitely meet in the future. Besides, he is your good friend. What do you think will happen between us?"
Chi Muzhen's face was still flushed from being aroused, and she stared at him with a pair of affectionate eyes, with a hint of anger on her face.
"Then he is a man too."
Chi Muzhen was speechless and glared at him, "Do you think I'm a heartthrob and everyone likes me?"
Huo Yunting didn't want Chi Muzhen to know Qi Yunzhe's feelings for her, so he said in a domineering tone: "In any case, you must keep your distance from him."
"How do I keep my distance? How about I go abroad? Then I can call him from abroad to discuss cooperation?"
Hearing that Chi Muzhen was teasing him, Huo Yunting's eyes were full of displeasure, "Chi Muzhen, I'm serious."
Chi Muzhen raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm kidding you again? If the person you're negotiating a partnership with is a woman, I won't let you work with her. Would you agree?"
"That's different."
"Why is it different? I'm also worried that other women will fall in love with you. Just because of my suspicion, you're going to ignore the cooperation with the Huo family?"
Huo Yunting: "..."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chi Muzhen continued: "I have already said that Qi Yunzhe and I are in a cooperative relationship, and the place where we eat is monitored. What else can we do?"
After a moment of silence, Huo Yunting finally said, "I'll go back to the villa before nine o'clock in the future, or I'll go with you when you have business talks."
Chi Muzhen was about to speak when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She opened WeChat and saw the message from Damai, and her expression suddenly became serious.
"I have something to do at work, so I won't talk for now."
After saying that, she hurried back to the bedroom.
Barley: [There's definitely something wrong with the timing of this image. Because it uses America's latest AI synthesis technology, it's impossible to spot the problem unless you're a professional.]
Chi Muzhen: [Can you separate the pictures from the time? ]
Barley: [Sure, but it won't be separated until at least tomorrow morning.]
Chi Muzhen: [Okay.]
After closing the chat box between himself and Damai, Chi Muzhen finally felt relieved.
As long as it can be proved that this picture is synthesized, Jinxiu will definitely lose the case!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when Jinxiu sued MY for plagiarism.
Chi Muzhen had already handed over the pictures of barley separation to the legal department, and continued to work in the company.
However, when Chi Xuan saw that she didn't go, she was convinced that Chi Muzhen didn't dare to come, and the smile on her face became extremely proud.
As long as MY wins this lawsuit, he will never cause any trouble again.
As for Chi Muzhen, she can only become his defeated opponent and stepping stone.
She got out of the car with a haughty look on her face. Many reporters had already gathered in front of the court. The moment they saw her, they swarmed over and pointed their microphones and cameras at her.
"Ms. Chi, are you confident that you will win this lawsuit against MY?"
"Ms. Chi, some people online are saying that Jinxiu plagiarized MY and are even accusing MY of plagiarism. What do you think about this?"
"Ms. Chi, according to the information we've received, you and Mr. Chi from MY are twin sisters. Some say that you went to court over a few design drawings, which brought shame to the Chi family. Do you think this matter is really too big a fuss?"
Chi Xuan wore a proper smile on her face and said slowly, "I don't want to answer any questions at the moment, but I believe that the law will definitely stand on the side of justice!"
After saying this, the bodyguards beside Chi Xuan separated the reporters, and Chi Xuan walked into the court with a smile.
Shen Tian followed the lawyer to the court session and lagged behind Chi Xuan by a few steps.
Hearing Chi Xuan's confident speech, her eyes were full of sarcasm. She hoped that she would still be so confident when MY's lawyer exposed in public in court that Jinxiu's 'first draft' design was a synthesis.
Seeing that it was hopeless to interview Chi Xuan, the reporters turned to Shen Tian who was behind them.
However, Shen Tian didn't say a word the entire time and walked into the court with a cold face.
Soon, the completely different attitudes of Chi Xuan and Shen Tian spread online, sparking heated discussions.
And not only online, but also the entire upper class of Chengdu are paying attention to this lawsuit.
After all, they had never seen twin sisters from the same mother suing each other.
Xu Rou has been upset recently because she suspected Chi Zhen of cheating on her and has no time to care about Chi Xuan and Chi Muzhen. When she went to play mahjong and heard her friends talking about this matter, she learned that MY's plagiarism of Jinxiu's design draft was brought to court. She was so angry that she almost died.
