I have no morals
While Yu Li was busy reviewing for her final exams, she was busy taking sides online.
ISG first produced evidence, and Wu Qingyu stepped out in public for the first time. The official account released design drafts at several important time nodes, including the first draft, several major revisions, and the final draft. The countless minor revisions during the period were ignored.
A brief introduction to Wu Qingyu's creative process, which is inspired by his parents' love, with his father's design drafts as evidence.
There are significant differences between the two drafts. Wu's father's drawing skills are not good, and the original draft is crude, but the core point is the stars surrounding the gem in the center of the necklace, which is the concrete embodiment of "wind and rain". Wu Qingyu's design is also mainly divided into two structures, the outer part and the outer part has the same meaning of "wind and rain".
After first seeing this evidence, although netizens were surprised by Wu Qingyu's age, they still gave him a lot of praise. It is not easy for ordinary people to reach this point, and it is not easy for Quan Yuli to dare to use such a young designer.
"Everyone's time flows at a different speed, right? Otherwise, how else can we explain that we're both twenty years old, and she knows so much more than me?"
"That's enough. Stop pushing her. What good will it do to society if you crush me into the dust?"
"ISG's evidence is quite detailed, isn't it? As Tia said, I don't believe a poor student can come back and get first place after just two months of studying."
Tia's last press conference was two months ago. After releasing a bunch of "junk metal" that annoyed everyone, it then hyped up its sales, causing most people to start doubting their own aesthetic taste.
I won’t buy it. People online say it looks good. But if I buy it, I’ll be going against my conscience.
"Now it seems that they are all just water army. I will laugh at anyone who wears Tia for the rest of his life."
Only two months later, they held another new product launch conference and came up with such an amazing design. Everyone thought there was something wrong.
The online public opinion began to be one-sided.
The ISG PR director was very satisfied with the public opinion and confidently went to Yu Li's office to report the situation: "Next, we can sue Tia for plagiarism and put a perfect end to this matter."
Yu Li looked down at the documents on the table. "Tia will sue us next. Put your people in action."
Public Relations Director: "Okay, my people—"
Wait, who sued who?
"Why?" How dare Tia sue ISG? "Representative, I think there's something wrong with my ears."
"You heard right." Yu Li looked up and swiped her keyboard. She'd read the online comments and wasn't entirely satisfied with the buzz. "They're mocking Tia, creating a perfect environment for her to slap him in the face."
Public Relations Minister:?
From laughing to not laughing, from entering with full confidence to leaving in despair, from anger to work motivation, after mocking Tia in all aspects on the Internet, the public relations director had some understanding.
Does this mean that Tia’s prediction was anticipated?
There were no classes today, so Yu Li accepted Hong Jae Heon's invitation to visit the Qingteng Club's office in the capital. She was accompanied by four other members of the club. Since Yu Li, Bae Hao Cheng and Gao Zhu Yan were naturally considered to be in the same group, the other two automatically formed an alliance.
On the way, Hong Jae-heon asked about Tia: "This happened just after joining the club. The senior management is waiting to see how you perform."
The Quan family is powerful, but if Quan Yuli lacks the ability, she will still be forced to withdraw from the group.
Yu Li casually asked, "Will Qing Teng offer no help?"
How high up the hierarchy she is depends on her performance.
Hong Jae-hyeon was stunned, and the other two thought Yu Li was crazy. She had just joined the club, so she should at least be humble.
Yu Li: "Don't you say that once you join the club, you're a family? If your family has problems, won't you help them?"
Gao Zhuyan held his glasses and Pei Haocheng coughed softly.
Hong Jae-heon laughed heartily: "Wu Xu often mentioned you, saying that you are an interesting person, and it turned out to be true."
Hong Wuxu, Hong Jae-heon's younger brother, and Yu Li have been friends since childhood.
"Really? Didn't you say anything bad about me?" Yu Li pretended to be unconvinced. "Wu Xu also mentioned you to me."
No one else could interrupt the conversation between Hong Jae-heon and Kwon Woo-ri and could only listen.
"What did he say?" Hong Jae-heon asked curiously.
"He said..." Yu Li left the question in suspense, and caught a glimpse of someone coming towards her from the corner of her eye.
——If you meet my brother, take a detour and don’t confront him. He is a pervert and lunatic who is not afraid of death but is afraid that it is not exciting enough.
"You are two-faced."
!
This was truly shocking. The eavesdroppers took a few steps back. Even if you were Quan Yuli, you couldn't be so arrogant, right? They were still on the territory of the Qingteng Society.
Hong Jae-heon didn't seem surprised at all. He had deliberately scared this younger brother when he was a child, and Hong Wuxu had avoided him ever since: "It seems that Wuxu doesn't like me very much."
"You guessed wrong." Yu Li raised her finger and shook it meaningfully. "He said that although you look distant, you're actually a warm-hearted person. You're willing to help anyone you recognize."
Hong Jae-heon paused, looked at Yu Li for two seconds, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Warmhearted? How interesting.
"I don't even know. In Wu Xu's heart, I am a good person."
Someone was coming up ahead, and Yu Li stopped and said, "If you're willing to help me, you're a good person in my heart."
Ultimately, it was all for ISG, and the two people who joined the club together showed admiration.
There were two people, a man and a woman. The man was a member of the Qingteng Club. When the two sides met, they had to introduce themselves to each other. Yu Li didn't hear a word Hong Jae-hyun said. Her attention was all on the woman.
I just received the news that this person had returned to China not long ago, and I didn't expect to meet him so soon.
Kong Yizi, the person she played racing games with in middle school, was severely punished. Her family claimed that she had caused the death of the person, but in fact, he had gone abroad, thinking that this would have a negative impact on her. However, the rumor did not spread, and the entire family disappeared a few days after the news of his death.
Now that you are back and have started a competition between Tia and ISG, do you think you are good enough again?
At this moment, Yu Li touched her heart. Pei Haocheng thought she was feeling unwell and bent down directly: "What's wrong?"
Yu Li: "I actually have a conscience."
Pei Haocheng:?
Yu Li: "I've let a lot of people go before."
I used to love playing and thought that life was fun. Now I don’t like playing anymore, and these people come up to me one after another.
Pei Haocheng didn't know about Yu Li and Kong Yizi's affairs, so he just agreed perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, please use the last bit of your conscience on me."
When Yu Li and Pei Haocheng were whispering, Kong Yizi kept staring at Yu Li. She had been looking forward to this scene for a long time. During the five years she was abroad, she had been thinking about coming back for revenge. If Quan Yu Li could see the hatred in her heart, she would be scared.
This unusual scene naturally caught Hong Zaixian's attention. He remained calm and asked, "Who is this?"
"Hello, Kong Yizi." Kong Yizi took the initiative to extend her hand towards Hong Zaixian. She knew this man's identity and believed that he might inherit the Hong family in the future.
Knowing that this name was unknown, Kong Yizi introduced herself differently: "The founder of Tia."
Hong Jae-heon raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Young people these days...are truly wealthy and powerful.
The Hong family is in the media business. ISG and Tia have been fighting fiercely online these days. In his eyes, it's just money burning.
It would be great if I could give him this money.
Kong Yizi didn't know what Hong Jae-heon was thinking. She came to Qingteng Club with the man next to her today to take a look around, because she heard that Quan Yuli had joined Qingteng Club and wanted to know what kind of organization it was.
I didn't expect to run into Kwon Wook-ri.
She withdrew her hand and stretched it out in front of Quan Yuli: "Long time no see."
Yu Li glanced at the hand stretched out in front of her. Not only did she have extended nails, but it was also covered with gems. The new product that caused controversy was worn around her neck.
After not seeing her for five years, Kong Yizi's face had changed a bit. She looked pretty, but also a little strange. Her long dress was empty, and she was extremely thin.
"Long time no see, I almost didn't recognize you." Ignoring the hand offered to her, Yu Li crossed her arms over her chest and asked, "Did you have surgery on your face?"
Kong Yizi withdrew her hand and avoided the question: "I recognized you at a glance. After all, you are as rude as before."
Yu Li pretended not to hear and turned to ask Hong Zaixian what he thought of Kong Yizi: "This Miss Kong almost got into a fight with me over Wu Xu. She really likes Wu Xu."
Like Hong Wuxu? Hong Zaixian carefully looked at Kong Yizi.
Kong Yizi forced a smile and said, "It happened many years ago. How old were you then?"
"I don't have any feelings for Hong Wuxu. I have a boyfriend now."
Yu Li pretended not to hear. "Wu Xu and I weren't from the same school, so we just hung out a few times on the weekends. When Yi Zi found out, she was furious. She told Wu Xu that she could do what I could, so she told me not to hang out anymore."
Hong Jae-heon's eyes flickered: "Really? What did Wu Xu say?"
Before Yu Li could say anything, Gao Zhuyan interrupted, "If that's the case, then I know. I went to the same junior high school as Hong Wuxu."
"This Miss Kong came to school and went crazy. She loudly confessed her love to Hong Wuxu in the classroom and told him to ignore Yu Li."
"Then Hong Wuxu said," Gao Zhuyan imitated Hong Wuxu's tone, his whole body was depressed, and his eyes were obviously filled with disgust, "'You are too ugly. Get plastic surgery before you tell me you like me.'"
"Pfft." Pei Haocheng laughed out loud to save face.
Others wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Kong Yizi's face turned ugly. This incident was an eternal pain in her heart, and she could never forget how humiliating she felt at that time.
The reason she and Kwon Woo-ri came into conflict in junior high school was because of Hong Wu-xu. At that time, her family was doing business with the Hong Group, and she was just one of thousands of partners. However, she dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family and thought that it was possible for her to have a relationship with Hong Wu-xu.
She is not inferior to Quan Yuli, she is also very good...
After enough joking, Yu Li asked Kong Yizi to move aside, as they still had things to do. Kong Yizi was silent for two seconds and did not move. Instead, she took the initiative to talk about the past: "Yes, I did a lot of stupid things for Hong Wuxu in the past. It's been so long that I have forgotten most of them, but there is one thing that I still remember clearly."
"I lost the racing game that year, Kwon Woo-ri. Do you want to play a new game with me now?"
A new game? Yu Li thought for a moment and said, "It's not that we can't play, but we need to have more people."
She said lightly: "What qualifications do you have to play games with me now?"
"With the necklace you designed that can be used for hanging?"
Phew, hahahaha, I really can't hold it in anymore. I originally said that I should give her some face since it's the first time we meet, but Kwon Woo-ri's words are so interesting that the onlookers laughed even though they wanted to. I might as well laugh to my heart's content.
"Kwon Wook-ri!" Kong Yizi's face finally turned cold. She was about to say something, but Gao Zhuyan pushed her away and said, "Get out of the way."
Kong Yizi staggered a few steps and almost fell, and Yu Li took the opportunity to leave.
Gao Zhuyan followed Yu Li and saw that Kong Yizi seemed a little unbelievable. He pointed at himself and said, "How dare I, a man, hit a woman?"
"I'm sorry, I have no morals. I beat both men and women."
Does the prosecutor differentiate between male and female criminals when arresting them? He was just rehearsing in advance.
The group walked away and no one paid attention to Kong Yizi behind them.
Yu Li took a tour of the office. Qingteng Club had dedicated administrative staff just like a company. Members had regular meetings every quarter, and senior management had monthly gatherings. At the meetings, they would share some news from the circle, or there would be projects that everyone could participate in.
The next regular meeting will be after the New Year. Generally speaking, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. After lunch, Yu Li said goodbye to Hong Jae-heon.
On the way back to the company, I received a call from Zheng Zhihe, saying that Tia had produced their evidence and was preparing to sue ISG.
Tia's evidence was simple: there was no design idea or inspiration, only the completion time of the final draft.
Tia official account: According to the evidence released by ISG, designer Wu Qingyu finalized the draft a month ago, while our designer Zhu Luoqi finalized it three months ago, which is earlier than designer Wu Qingyu's first draft.
A Vlog is attached at the end, which shows Zhu Luoqi's relief after finalizing the design. The original design drawing is on the computer, and the Vlog was made three months ago.
Zheng Zhihe was a little irritable. "What's this? Using time to prove it? Everyone knows that these times can be adjusted. There's no need to hire a world-class hacker. Gao Zhuyan can do it in two minutes."
But for some netizens, time is the most intuitive evidence. If someone completed it three months ago and you completed it a month ago, it is obvious who copied whom.
"It's over, I'm on the wrong side. Designer Tia has used her brains this time."
Someone at ISG raised the question: "Tia held a new product launch two months ago. Since the design was already completed at that time, was there any concern about not showing it?"
Why do we have to wait until December to be with ISG?
ISG: “I always feel like I’m being arranged.”
What this means is that Tia knew that ISG would announce the same new product in December, and deliberately waited for this day to compete with ISG to increase the popularity.
Netizen: "Indeed, this is unacceptable. They held a new product launch conference just two months ago, and now they are rushing to hold it again, especially after ISG announced the launch time."
Tia previously had a bad reputation and its credibility was in jeopardy. If any company in the same predicament designed a new product with great potential, it would definitely produce and release it immediately to win back the hearts of the people, rather than piling it up in a corner and letting it settle for three months.
Tia did not respond to this.
I'm even being disingenuous. As long as I'm earlier than ISG, what's the point of you saying all this? I'm invincible.
Zheng Zhihe: "What should we do next?"
Yu Li glanced at the date. It had only been a few days since the press conference. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Based on previous experience, it’s Tia’s turn to buy trending searches today. It would be a waste not to take advantage of the free publicity.
After returning to the office, she sent a message to Zheng Ruizhen. Zheng Ruizhen had been sent by her to investigate evidence and had not responded in the past two days.
Zheng Ruizhen: "There are some clues."
A video was sent to me. The protagonist of the video was a middle-aged man who was concentrating on revising the drawings in his hands in the cold wind.
Zheng Ruizhen: "This is Wu Qingyu's father. He used to take classes at Wu Qingyu's school. After class, he would edit the pictures on campus."
Because it was a gift for his wife and needed to be kept secret, Father Wu would finish drawing the pictures at school before going home.
In the middle of the video, a woman wearing a mask noticed Mr. Wu's actions and gave him some instructions.
Yu Li felt that this person was the key: "Who is she?"
Zheng Ruizhen: "Tia's designer, Zhu Luoqi."
Yu Li laughed after watching the video. It was three months ago that Wu's father went to the university to take classes.
"We still need more direct evidence. Go ask Wu Qingyu if there was any sign of leakage during the design process."
ISG attaches great importance to confidentiality. Every designer's computer is protected by the company and then given to the designer for use. Encrypted design drawings can only be used in a trusted environment, and before each release, a special person will be invited to check for signs of external intrusion.
If that's okay...
Yu Li: "If there's nothing wrong with the company and Wu Qingyu, then we'll investigate the manufacturing factory."
After the design drawings are finalized, they are sent to the factory via the company's internal email address. The document even has a reading time limit, which is very strict.
But that doesn’t mean there are no opportunities.
If it is a problem with the factory, you can contact the legal department to file a claim.
The newly established company has neither the need nor the funds to build its own production plant. Perhaps this is an opportunity.
After talking with Zheng Ruizhen, Yu Li went to meet Wu Qingyu. She asked Wu Qingyu to finish the design of the shield within one day and produce a sample within a week. It is now in the production stage.
After the Tia incident, due to trust issues with the production factory, the shield samples were produced by a private factory found by Zheng Ruizhen. Otherwise, if the shield is leaked again, the final height that ISG can achieve will be lower than expected.
"Have you thought of a name?" The naming rights of the shield were given to Wu Qingyu. Only the designer understands the design of his subordinates best.
Wu Qingyu was confused when she received the new design task on the day of the press conference. She didn't quite understand why she had to design new products at such an urgent moment. If the accusation of plagiarism could not be cleared, she would become a scapegoat and be pushed out by ISG as a shield.
"Plagiarism is the designer's personal behavior. ISG will reserve the right to pursue legal action against the designer."
You can even not retain her and directly take her to court to make her compensate for the company's losses.
The external pressure and the inner resentment made Wu Qingyu's mind clearer than ever. After scraping more than a dozen drafts, she suddenly had an inspiration and made the final design in one go.
This small shield style represents multiple meanings, and Wu Qingyu expressed his true thoughts when introducing it to Yu Li.
"The overall shield design represents rebound. All the slander that the outsiders throw at me will be reflected back at them."
"The spear on the left represents attack. I'm not without temper, but putting the spear and shield together makes it difficult to distinguish the key points, so I used only a smooth line to represent the spear, and the tip of the spear is directly integrated into the crown on top of the shield."
"The reason the top of the shield is designed as a crown is because..."
At this point, Wu Qingyu, who had been talking freely before, became a little stuck and his face turned slightly red.
Yu Li tilted her head and thought for two seconds, then spoke for Wu Qingyu, "Because I'm the God who judges these idiots. Any method they use is child's play in my eyes and can be easily cracked. No one can shake my position."
"I sit high above, overlooking all living beings. I protect all honest and kind people. I am the master of this world, and no filth can touch me."
"Yes! That's it!" After Yu Li finished speaking, Wu Qingyu was so excited that sweat broke out on her forehead. The biting wind outside the house did not make her feel the slightest bit of winter cold. Her heart had been conquered by these words.
Her initial thoughts weren't as profound as Yu Li's, but Yu Li's understanding and design matched perfectly, and the name of the shield came out of her mouth: "I am Winter."
Then he started to feel embarrassed again: "Well, it seems a bit childish. But I think, first of all, it suits the current season very well. Our new product is the winter 'Guardian' series, and severe cold originally represents difficulty and harm."
"Wearing our 'Guardian' series will help everyone withstand the severe cold, but if the cold gets stronger and stronger, we don't want to be cowards who keep enduring it."
"I chose to protect because I don't want to attack, and I love peace. But I'm not afraid of hardship. Once I exceed the critical point of tolerance, I don't mind reversing my status."
Wu Qingyu looked at Yu Li hopefully, wondering if he could understand what she meant.
Yu Li nodded affirmatively: "Reverse the roles, it's my turn to attack, I can be the one who faces the difficulties head-on--"
Wu Qingyu continued, "It could also be the person who caused the harm."
I am winter, I am the greatest difficulty.
Another way to understand why all filth stays away from me is because filth is not stronger than me and they are not worthy.
The sample was about to be completed. After the discussion, Yu Li and Wu Qingyu went to the public relations director's office. The door was closed and no one knew what they discussed.
Two days later, when Tia completely dominated public opinion and foul language dominated the ISG official account, ISG finally responded to Tia.
"I've been waiting for a while. Now I'll explain the results of my investigation during this period."
"1. The new product launch was held at 12:18. Designer Wu Qingyu's first draft was at 10:22, and the final draft was at 11:15. Designer Zhu Luoqi's final draft was at 9:30. It should be noted that Designer Wu's father, Mr. Wu Jionghao, started designing at 9:20."
"2. As mentioned before, Designer Wu's inspiration came from his father's designs. During the period when his father was designing, we discovered that Designer Zhu had contact with his father more than once."
Here are a few videos. It's actually quite remarkable that Wu Jionghao is auditing a university design class at his age. He's cheerful and has a good personality, and the students are all happy to help him, even the professor of the class. Wu Jionghao discussed the auditing opportunity with the professor right from the start.
Some students met Wu Jionghao drawing on campus and occasionally took a video and uploaded it to the social platform. Zhu Luoqi was in the video, wearing a mask and scarf, but she didn't know she was in the video.
From the video, we can see that Zhu Luoqi looked at the picture drawn by Wu's father and said something to Wu Jionghao.
"3. Why do I think the girl in the video is Designer Zhu? I confirmed it after watching Designer Zhu's vlogs about her life on social media. The clothes, scarf, and even the earrings are exactly the same."
"Of course, Tia can say it was a coincidence and we won't dwell on it."
"Did Mr. Wu Jionghao's design, which he started on September 20th, plagiarize the design that Designer Zhu finalized on September 30th? The professors at the school were very helpful during Mr. Wu Jionghao's design process, and I discussed every detail with the professors. Does Designer Zhu want to say that the professors gave Mr. Wu Jionghao guidance after watching your design?"
"4. After watching Designer Zhu's finalized vlog, I have a question. The clothes Designer Zhu wore at the time were purchased internationally, and there was an unboxing video on social media. The unboxing video was posted on November 13th. Did Designer Zhu buy two identical coats? That's why he would wear clothes purchased in November to record the finalized vlog in September."
"5. During the investigation, we discovered that there was a problem with the emails sent from within the company to the production factory. The factory's email address was hijacked, and there is a possibility that the design drawings were leaked;"
"Sixth, and most importantly, Designer Wu was inspired by her parents' love when designing the necklace, incorporating her mother's name into the design. Initially, some netizens commented that the cluster of lines in the center of the necklace was somewhat puzzling. However, if you look at it backwards, you'll find that the lines form the Chinese character 'Ning,' meaning 'Ning.' Designer Wu's mother's name is 'He Ning.'"
"Excuse me, Designer Zhu, Designer Wu designed the character 'Ning' because of your mother's name. Is your mother also named 'Ning'?"
