Chapter 351: Peace of Mind
Huo Yunting soon learned that Xiao wanted to terminate the cooperation.
Ke Ning's face turned grim. "Mr. Huo, if we terminate the contract with Xiao, Huo's company will suffer heavy losses, and many plans will be temporarily shelved."
Although the Huo family has developed well in the capital in recent years, it is not enough to shake the foundation of the major families in the capital, so it can only cooperate with the major families first.
The Xiao family is one of the four major families in Beijing, and in recent years it has shown signs of developing into the leader of the four major families. Seeing that the Xiao family and the Huo family have terminated their cooperation, other families may follow suit and terminate their contracts, causing huge losses to the Huo family.
Huo Yunting looked indifferent, "Just agree directly."
Knowing that Chi Muzhen was in the Xiao family, Huo Yunting knew that his cooperation with the Xiao family was doomed to be short-lived.
"Mr. Huo, falling out with the Xiao family now is not the best option."
"Even if they don't agree to terminate the contract, Xiao has other ways to force Huo to terminate the contract. It's better to agree now. However, Xiao must pay the penalty for breach of contract. Let the group's best legal representative go over to negotiate."
Seeing Huo Yunting's determined expression, Ke Ning knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he nodded and left.
After the office returned to silence, Huo Yunting's eyes gradually turned cold. Xiao Tuo's current behavior made him more determined to believe that Xiao Muzhen was Chi Muzhen.
But how did she forget him? He had to find out first before he could go find her with evidence!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 20th.
In the morning, Yan Nan called Xiao Muzhen and Zhao Mingyue to the conference room for a meeting and asked them whether their respective design drawings had been completed.
Zhao Mingyue was well prepared and said with a smile, "I worked overtime and finished it all last night. Manager Yan, take a look."
After reading it, Yan Nan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, "Well, very good. Compared with before, your design level has improved a lot."
Zhao Mingyue had a smug smile on her face, "As long as Manager Yan is satisfied."
Yan Nan looked at Xiao Muzhen, "Xiao Design, have you finished your work?"
Xiao Muzhen was about to speak when Zhao Mingyue spoke up, "Design Xiao, today is the deadline given by Qu Corporation. If you don't complete it, this cooperation may not be possible. You should have completed it by now, right?"
Although she asked a question, the calculation in her eyes could not be concealed.
Thinking of the day when Zhang Qian told her that the deadline was the 29th, a cold light flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes.
Zhang Qian is Zhao Mingyue's assistant. If Zhao Mingyue hadn't instructed her, she would never have plotted against me like this.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Designer Zhao, don't worry, it's already done. I'll go back to the office and copy it over right away."
Zhao Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Designer Xiao, I only gave you half the work. You don't even have an assistant. You probably won't be able to finish all the design drawings in the next few days. If you haven't finished it, tell me now and I can help you. But lying is wrong. Qingshang will not keep a designer with bad behavior!"
"Why is Designer Zhao so anxious? It only takes me a few minutes to get back. And how can Designer Zhao be so sure that I haven't finished the design?"
Meeting Xiao Muzhen's half-smile, Zhao Mingyue's face froze, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "That's because the workload is too heavy. I work overtime with my assistant until after nine o'clock every night to barely finish the design drawings. If you go to get off work on time every day, it's impossible for you to finish it."
"That's you, not me. Don't think that others are just as inefficient as you just because you're inefficient!"
"you!"
Zhao Mingyue was so angry that her face turned blue, but Xiao Muzhen ignored her and turned around and walked out of the office.
Five minutes later, she came back with a USB drive and handed it to Yan Nan, saying, "Manager Yan, this is my design."
Yan Nan took it and just plugged in the computer when there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
"Manager Yan, Mr. Qu is here and he wants to see the finished design."
A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Nan's eyes, and then he said to his assistant, "Just ask him to come to the conference room."
When Qu Ling and Huo Yunting walked into the conference room, Yan Nan quickly stood up to greet them, "Mr. Qu, Mr. Huo, why are you here together?"
Seeing Huo Yunting, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frown and looked away, as if she didn't want to see him for another second.
"The Huo family plans to invest in this collaboration, so I asked President Huo to come with me to take a look. You guys can continue to run the business and don't worry about us. We'll just listen."
Yan Nan nodded, "Okay, I'm going to look at Xiao's design drawings now."
As Yan Nan finished speaking, a look of panic flashed across Xiao Muzhen's face, which was seen by Zhao Mingyue who was sitting opposite her.
Zhao Mingyue sneered and said slowly, "Manager Yan, I'm afraid Xiao Designer hasn't finished drawing the design yet. Why don't you take a look at mine first?"
Xiao Muzhen was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He stared at Zhao Mingyue and said angrily: "Zhao Design, stop slandering me!"
"Haha, I'm slandering you. Just now, when Manager Yan said he wanted to see your design drawings, you panicked like crazy. And now you're trying to be nice and pretend to be rich?"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, and said helplessly: "Since you want to see yours first, then see yours first!"
This made Zhao Mingyue even more certain that she was guilty. She sneered and said, "I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it. Now I will expose your true colors in front of President Qu and President Huo!"
As she spoke, she walked directly to Yan Nan and opened the folder. Seeing that there was indeed a design drawing inside, she zoomed in.
The next second, the smile on her face froze.
Xiao Muzhen's design drawings are much better than hers... Compared with this design drawing, the ones she drew have absolutely no advantages at all.
She flipped through a dozen or so pictures in disbelief. Each design was unique and would attract people at first sight.
"No... this is impossible! How could you possibly draw such a perfect design?! You must have copied this from the internet!"
Yan Nan, who was standing aside, said coldly, "Zhao Mingyue, have you had enough of this trouble?!"
Zhao Mingyue was furious. "Yan Nan, she really copied it. How could she possibly draw such a good design? You can definitely find these designs online if you look them up!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Designer Zhao, it's alright if you hate me on weekdays, but today, President Qu and President Huo are here, and you still want to embarrass me. But in fact, you are now embarrassing the company."
Zhao Mingyue noticed the cold gazes cast upon her by Qu Ling and Huo Yunting, and gritted her teeth as she said, "You must have copied it. Otherwise, why did you feel guilty when Yan Nan asked to see your design just now?!"
"Did I tell you I felt guilty?"
"Your expression clearly shows guilt!"
Xiao Muzhen was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with her, and looked directly at Yan Nan and said, "Manager Yan, if it was private, forget it, but now that President Qu and President Huo are here, Zhao designed to slander me like this, I need an apology.
Plagiarism is the most heinous crime for a designer. If I am not cleared of the charges today, how can I continue to work in the design industry?
Seeing Xiao Muzhen being so confident, Zhao Mingyue suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
But the current situation does not allow her to think too much.
She looked at Xiao Muzhen coldly and said, "Okay, then let's find out. If you really didn't plagiarize and completed the work, I'll even kneel down and apologize to you!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Muzhen's eyes, but then he calmed down.
Zhao Mingyue is now just like those gamblers who have lost their minds to gambling. They put all their bets on the table and just want to make a comeback.
Little do they know that this will only make them lose even more miserably.
Yan Nan's face had become extremely ugly, letting Qu Ling and Huo Yunting see that he had not managed his subordinates well, and they didn't know whether he would continue to cooperate with Qing Shang next time.
He looked at Qu Ling and Huo Yunting, who had been silent the whole time, and said apologetically, "Mr. Qu, Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Qu Ling smiled and said, "Manager Yan, since Zhao Design has said so, let's find someone to check it out. After all, it won't waste much time."
"good."
The staff worked quickly and the results came out in less than ten minutes.
"Manager Yan, we've checked it out. None of Xiao Design's designs were plagiarized. They're all original."
The moment the words fell, Zhao Mingyue's face turned pale!
How is that possible?!
