You're not the only one who jumps off a building.
Compared with Tia's evidence, ISG's response was much more sincere and powerful, and each point could give Tia a headache.
It was only after the incident became a big deal that Wu Jinghao found out that the woman who had helped him at school was Tia's designer Zhu Luoqi. Wu Qingyu University welcomes outsiders to visit the campus, and there are not many restrictions on auditing classes. He thought the school was great at the time. If it were not allowed to visit the campus, he would never have met such a kind person as Zhu Luoqi.
"She explained the principles of design to me, encouraged me to keep going, and even promised to treat her to a meal." Wu Jionghao felt deeply sorry for his daughter. She was so covered up, there was clearly something wrong. Why hadn't he suspected it in the first place? "I told her all my ideas, but I didn't expect her to turn around and copy them to slander you."
"The last time we met, she asked me if I had finished my design. I told her I had, and that you had drawn inspiration from it and started your own creation. I was very happy to help you."
Wu Qingyu is too busy. He attends classes during the day and draws at night. Although he is a student, he is more tired than people who have just entered the society. Wu Jionghao knows that it is his own incompetence that has led to Wu Qingyu's current situation, so he did not tell Wu Qingyu about taking classes and doing design. If he had told Wu Qingyu, Wu Qingyu would definitely make time to help him revise the drawings, and he felt distressed.
He had deliberately chosen a time when Wu Qingyu wasn't at school, fearing an encounter. As for being filmed and uploaded online by students, he hadn't considered it; he couldn't keep up with the pace.
Looking at her guilty father, Wu Qingyu comforted her by saying that it was okay. This actually made her feel relieved. It would be enough if she could prove that the other party had plagiarized. The worst thing was that there was no clue at all.
The first thing Kong Yizi did after seeing the reply was to pull Zhu Luoqi's hair and enter the office. She threw all the documents, pen holders, and water cups on the table at Zhu Luoqi. Zhu Luoqi screamed in pain but didn't dare to dodge.
"If you love sharing your life so much, why don't you just take off all your clothes and show it to others? You just want fans, and now everyone knows you!"
"Are you happy? One account isn't enough, so you opened two, trying to pretend you're a rich girl? Ha, don't you see what you are? Without me, you'd still be holed up in Olivia's small workshop, a small-time artist who doesn't even deserve the right to be credited!"
Zhu Luoqi has two social media accounts, one big one and one small one. The evidence about the clothes was found by ISG in the small one.
Zhu Luoqi intends to create an upper-class identity for herself. She has never shown her face on her second account, but will share some "threshold-limited" life photos. No one around her knows about this account because she is afraid of being laughed at.
Who knew it would be dug up by ISG?
Zhu Luoqi covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "Ms. Kong, what should we do now?"
How can ISG refute her evidence? She doesn’t have a mother named “He Ning”!
"What do you think?" Kong Yizi said expressionlessly. They had planned for so long and invested so much money, but now it had failed. Tia would suffer the backlash. Did Zhu Luoqi still want the company to protect her?
dream.
Zhu Luoqi instantly understood what Kong Yizi meant and knelt down in front of her anxiously: "No, Miss Kong, ISG will not let me go. Please save me. You said you would help me succeed."
"We can deny it. I wore a mask when I met Wu Jinghao, so they didn't see my face. I can say it wasn't me. Also, so what if there was a problem with the email address of the manufacturer ISG partnered with? Who can prove that it was Tia who tampered with the clothes? She just said she bought two pieces. As for the word 'Ning', I can make it up. An ex-boyfriend? A deceased grandmother? Anyone is fine. It's not a problem!"
"You can't give up on me." She cried bitterly.
Kong Yizi almost laughed out of anger after hearing what Zhu Luoqi said. If she was really scared, she should have been careful from the beginning. This bastard, she lifted Zhu Luoqi's face with the tip of her shoe and asked, "Are you trying to say that everything is a coincidence?"
Zhu Luoqi nodded tremblingly: "Yes, it's all coincidence."
"Haha." Kong Yizi laughed softly, and then the laughter became louder and louder, and the whole office was filled with this madness, "Haha, hahahahaha."
She laughed until tears came out, and she took out a tissue to wipe the corners of her eyes twice. Zhu Luoqi didn't understand what this laugh meant, and stared at her tremblingly, and was grabbed by the other party by the hair.
"It hurts, Miss Kong, please let me go!" Zhu Luoqi barely raised her head under the force of Kong Yizi.
Kong Yizi didn't care: "Do you want Tia to die faster? After Tia said everything was a coincidence, do you think ISG will have a backup plan?"
Kwon Yu-ri understands that she plans three steps ahead of others and will only start fighting back when everything is ready.
Zhu Luoqi didn't dare to speak. She knew her excuse was ridiculous, but she was just trying to save herself. It was Kong Yizi who asked her to copy. She originally had her own work, but Kong Yizi was not satisfied and insisted on stealing ISG's design. How could she stop her?
She worked as a ghostwriter abroad, and her life was predictable. Kong Yizi brought her back to China and gave her a high salary. What was wrong with her being an obedient dog?
"Ms. Kong, I've always followed your instructions. Please save me."
"Save you, who will save Tia?" Tia's money wasn't hers alone. "So much money is flowing out like water. Aren't you heartbroken when it's not your money?"
Zhu Luoqi had nothing to say.
Looking at the woman's tearful eyes, Kong Yizi calmed down. The matter was already a foregone conclusion, and she had to think about how to make up for it.
She wanted to say something, but she wiped Zhu Luoqi's tears and said, "Luoqi, it has come to this point. Please help me do one more thing."
Zhu Luoqi's body trembled.
Kong Yizi: "Help me do one last thing. After this, I will give you some money and send you abroad. From now on, you will be free."
Zhu Luoqi buried his head and said nothing.
Kong Yizi raised her head forcefully and had to agree even if she wanted to.
It was Zhu Luoqi who caused her to lose to Quan Yuli again.
After ISG released its investigation report and raised questions, the rumors about ISG plagiarism were self-defeating. Netizens who had previously gone crazy on the ISG official account all fell silent, and were replaced by apologies and praise.
"Let's just say ISG's jewelry is beautiful. It's all Tia's fault for coming up with such a vicious method, otherwise I would have ordered this new product a long time ago."
"I have always stood on ISG's side and never criticized ISG. Now I can stand up and speak for ISG openly."
"It's hindsight." Zheng Zhihe rolled her eyes at the message. How can it be considered support if she always supports ISG but never says a word for ISG? Love that is not expressed is not love.
Yu Li had an exam today, and told her to keep an eye on the online trends and go to the exam room to find her if there was anything urgent. However, seeing that there were no major problems so far, Tia even came out to apologize.
When Yu Li left the classroom, Zheng Zhihe excitedly went to meet her: "We've already made a reservation at the restaurant. I'm driving today, let's go over there now."
Yu Li handed the pen to Zheng Zhihe and asked her to put it away: "So happy?"
"Orders for new products have exploded." Zheng Zhihe, a worker, is even happier than Yu Li, the "capitalist." "The money I spent these days has been worth it. ISG has been dominating the trending searches. We've completely broken out of the circle. Wherever we go, people are talking about ISG."
"Really?" Yu Li had expected all of this, so it didn't sound exciting at the moment. Zheng Zhihe opened the car door for her and she sat in the back seat.
"Also, Tia apologized." Zheng Zhihe got in the driver's seat and pulled up the news for Yu Li to watch. "As expected of Kong Yizi, she really used Zhu Luoqi as a scapegoat, saying that Tia was deceived by Zhu Luoqi and attacked ISG. Now that the truth is out, Tia has withdrawn the lawsuit."
"Have the legal department prepare. I'm going to sue Tia," Yu Li said after reading the news. Did Kong Yizi think that was the end of it? "Didn't Tia say a few days ago that their new product had sold tens of millions? This kind of profit-making plagiarism is enough to send that designer to jail, right?"
"And the problematic worker who set up the venue earlier was sent by Tia. Don't let him go and sue him as well."
Isn't it plagiarizing without knowing it and harming others without knowing it? The workers will not speak for Tia.
Having spent so much money with no returns, coupled with the lawsuit, Tia is bound to collapse this time.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Yu Li followed Zheng Zhihe into the private room. On the way, she asked Zheng Zhihe if she noticed anything wrong, and Zheng Zhihe nodded.
"I find it very strange. Putting aside where Kong Yizi got the money to build Tia, perhaps she had some unexpected adventure abroad, let's just talk about this plagiarism incident. How did she know Wu Qingyu would draw inspiration from his father to design new products? I might be wrong about this statement."
Zheng Zhihe organized her words: "Even if they want to plagiarize our design, it is understandable that Tia would do some pretentious things to justify the plagiarism."
"But isn't it a bit strange to follow Wu Qingyu before he even started designing, or even before his father started designing?"
It’s understandable to follow Wu Qingyu, but what’s the idea of following Wu Jinghao?
At this point, Zheng Zhihe shook her head again: "No, it may be that after seeing Wu Jionghao's drawings, she got inspiration and contacted Wu Jionghao many times. Although Zhu Luoqi and Wu Qingyu's designs overlap by 80%, there are still some incomplete overlaps. This should be Zhu Luoqi's own design."
"She had an idea, but Kong Yizi wasn't satisfied. She wanted to outdo us, so she stole our design and, finding it similar to Zhu Luoqi's, simply merged them."
"Maybe Zhu Luoqi's finalized vlog is real, and it was indeed completed on 9:30. It's just that the computer image was tampered with and our image was pasted on it."
It should be possible. I'll ask Gao Zhuyan later.
Zheng Zhihe asked Yu Li: "I think this is the only way to explain the development of the whole thing. Am I right?"
Before Yu Li could answer, they arrived at the private room and Pei Haocheng was waiting impatiently at the door.
"Too slow, you're the only ones missing."
It was finals week at school, and after the exams we could leave and have a meal together before going our separate ways.
Yu Li is usually very busy, so it’s not always possible to make an appointment to go out and play with her.
Song Minjing was also in the box. After dinner, she had to go back to filming. To be honest, her artistic ethics are pretty good. As long as Yu Li was fine, she could stay in the crew.
After Yu Li sat down, Song Minjing didn't forget to glare at her: "Cui Ze is so unsociable. He was absent from this kind of event where everyone was present. It's true that people become bad when they have money."
When Choi Jung-woo was still Yu-ri's fiancé, everyone was against Choi Jung-woo. Now that her fiancé has changed to Choi Taek, everyone is against Choi Taek again.
Gao Zhuyan was typing on his computer: "Cui Ze's looks should be popular with girls. Does he like mature older women?"
Pei Haocheng echoed: "Do you want to introduce him to Cui Ze?"
Gao Zhuyan: "He has so many drinking parties now, it's impossible that there is no woman at the table. No need for me to introduce."
Song Minjing raised her hands in agreement: "Yes, even if it's just a casual affair, kissing and touching are inevitable."
Zheng Zhihe looked around and chose to remain silent. She heard that it was Yu Li who took the initiative to ask for the change of her fiancé. Who knows if Cui Ze would persuade her.
What if someone says something bad about her? Although Yu Li wouldn't be blinded by lust...
"That makes sense." Yu Li accepted everything they said, but didn't show any emotion on her face. "If I can see him tonight, I'll convey your concerns to him."
Ah, this.
Song Minjing picked up the water cup and pretended to drink: "Lili, I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you."
Gao Zhuyan continued: "As an engaged couple, if you can't reassure your fiancée's friends, it means that the fiancée is not doing his job well."
Pei Haocheng was much more direct: "I think Cui Ze is just average."
The door to the private room opened, and the steward came with a few people to serve the dishes. Yu Li didn't say anything about the outsiders present, but once they left, she said, "Since Cui Ze has so many shortcomings, can you recommend a new candidate for marriage?"
The whole audience was silent.
Who should I recommend? Choi Taek and the others could still chat for a while, but when it came to other people, those who were more capable than Choi Taek were older and liked to show off, while those of the same age as Choi Taek were not as capable as him. As for recommending himself... Pei Haocheng drank water strategically, which was hilarious. He didn't really want to be with Quan Yuli.
What if he becomes a doctor and spends every day around the operating table? What if Kwon Woo-ri gets jealous?
Gao Zhuyan argued for himself: "If you are willing to choose me——"
Yu Li glanced at him lightly: "I won't marry a dog."
Gao Zhuyan: "If Cui Ze can do it, I can do it too."
Yu Li: "At least the person you're planning to marry can walk in the sun. I don't dare go out with you. I'm so embarrassed."
Gao Zhuyan stopped talking. Pei Haocheng thought that Gao Zhuyan was hit hard, so he looked at Gao Zhuyan secretly and found that although he buried his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Gao Zhuyan: It feels so good to be scolded.
Fuck, this masochist.
The topic was tacitly passed, and the group slowly ate their meal. They didn't know when they would meet again. If it was soon, it would be New Year's Eve, and if it was later, it would be the beginning of the next semester or a party.
Yu Li returned to the company in the afternoon. The shield sample had been completed and was on the way. The public relations director thought the matter was over and happily came to Yu Li to fulfill his promise.
"Representative, wow, why are you here at the company? We finally got through this difficult time, it must be very tiring for you. You should have a good rest."
This matter has passed. When will I get the bonus you mentioned? Will it be paid now or included in the salary?
Yu Li shook her head: "It's far from over."
Public Relations Minister:?
Damn it, he's not trying to default on his debt.
She has been staying up all night and her hair is falling out in clumps. If you don't give it to her now, she will kill someone!
"I know what you want to ask," Yu Li knew exactly what was going on. Why else would an employee approach the boss? Either they wanted praise or they wanted money. "But Tia's still causing trouble. Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
The PR manager's eyes widened. "Mo? Still coming?" She heard that the legal department was preparing for the lawsuit.
Left in despair.
Yu Li sat down and looked at the date. Today was the 26th, and she had to go to Cui Ze's house for dinner on the 31st, so there were still four days.
Let Zheng Zhihe help choose gifts. The Cui family has four branches, and the New Year's Eve family dinner must be eaten together. Including Mr. Cui, there are five gifts in total.
But each branch of the family had both male and female owners, and they also had children. The eldest grandson of the first branch already had a child, so he was Cui Ze's nephew. The Cui family could be said to have four generations living under one roof.
Zheng Zhihe had previously looked at the Cui family tree and asked Yu Li, "You will definitely move out after you get married, right?"
It is said that Mr. Cui has requirements for his family members, and they must live together unless there are any accidents.
Yu Li said of course, if there was a wedding day, she would not be able to live in Cui's house, and Mr. Cui would not force her.
The Quan family can help the Cui family move to a higher level. Only a fool would pick a fight with her.
I received the shield sample in the evening. Although it was made in a hurry, every process was completed with meticulous care and every corner was meticulous.
Yu Li and Wu Qingyu checked it out and found no problems. Wu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Her nerves were extremely tense. She only slept for a few hours a day and was not sure if she could even fall asleep. She was afraid that she would die suddenly if this matter was not resolved.
"Think about your future," Yu Li said, acting like a superior painting a rosy picture. "Your classmates are still unknown in the classroom, but you're already making headlines."
A light gradually appeared in Wu Qingyu's eyes. Her family called her and said that the neighbors were all praising her for being capable and ambitious, even though she was only twenty years old.
She will become more and more famous in the future, and one day, she will stand on the world-class stage to prove herself to everyone that she, Wu Qingyu, is the top jewelry designer.
As I thought about it, I even had an urge to cry.
Yu Li left her space for Wu Qingyu and passed by Park Sun-ya's office on her way out. Park Sun-ya was revising a blueprint. Although this former design master had been lacking inspiration in the past year, she worked diligently and responsibly. When she couldn't draw herself, she focused her energy on coaching her students.
"I would never have done this in the past, but young people nowadays are so creative that I always gain something from chatting with them."
This kind of "flash of inspiration" may only appear once every three months or half a year, but Park Sun-a is willing to give up her past achievements and start again as an ordinary designer.
Yu Li lowered her eyes. Park Sun-ya would stand up. Only a design department with checks and balances could have the possibility of long-term development.
There was an exam the next day, and the semester would be over after this exam. Before Yu Li handed in her paper, she noticed that the invigilator had looked at her more than once, and her intuition suggested that he suspected she was cheating.
Zheng Zhihe appeared at the door, and everyone passing by craned their necks to get a glimpse of the classroom. Yu Li thought for two seconds and quickly handed in her paper. As soon as she left the classroom, Zheng Zhihe hurriedly said, "Tia's designer, the one we sued, threatened to jump off the building, saying we wouldn't let her live."
People were on the rooftop of Tia's office building. All kinds of media were there. The internet was abuzz with the news, and many internet celebrities were broadcasting live.
Yu Li took a look and saw a huge Tia logo appear in front of the live camera. Was he jumping off a building or promoting Tia?
Anyway, I didn't really want to jump off the building.
"Zhu Luoqi, did she say anything?"
Jung Ji-ha opened the car door. This was why she came to see Yu Li: "She said she wanted to see you."
ISG has already arrived at the scene, and the fire department has laid a safety air cushion under the building, but the floors are too high, and even if someone happens to jump onto the air cushion, they may not survive. If someone really dies, ISG's reputation will be affected.
People only feel sorry for the weak.
Yu Lixiaoxiao didn't take it seriously. After being sued, can she get away with it just by threatening to jump off the building?
She will let Kong Yizi understand what it means to squeeze out every last bit of value from a person.
It took half an hour to get from Capital University to Tia's office building. A cordon had been set up at the scene, and the crowds were thronging. After parking the car on a street outside, Yu Li and Zheng Zhihe walked over.
When they arrived in front of the building, Yu Li did not go in immediately. She looked up at the rooftop. Zhu Luoqi was sitting on the rooftop with her back to the police and firefighters, her head slightly raised, not looking down. Everyone present kept their heads up.
There were CPBC reporters reporting live from the rooftop.
Looking around, there are countless internet celebrities.
"Miss Quan." A faint voice called out.
Yu Li turned her head and saw a girl wearing ISG accessories in front of her. She dug this person out of her memories and remembered the business card from the cruise party that night.
Hong Baolin introduced herself as an internet celebrity who manages her own account and can shoot, edit and operate.
Zheng Zhihe recognized her and whispered in Yu Li's ear, "She's a very famous internet celebrity. The director of the business department said he was looking for internet celebrities to promote her, and she was on the list."
Yu Li then asked Hong Baolin: "How many fans do you have?"
Hong Baolin was stunned. After the cruise, she had been consciously paying attention to Quan Yuli, but when she typed this name into the Internet, she found no information at all, until the day of the ISG press conference.
It turns out that the brand that others mentioned, Kwon Wook-ri, was actually ISG. When ISG was established, her account had just gotten on track, so she didn't have time to pay attention to a jewelry brand.
Hong Baolin was a little frustrated, but she still cheered herself up and did what she should do. She spoke for ISG when ISG got into trouble. Don't look at her as just an internet celebrity, she is very good at manipulating public opinion and has several self-media accounts behind the scenes. Her fans will believe her when she says that ISG is fine, and other media will also use her materials to repost her comments.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to become what you are now in just over a year.
When asked by Kwon Wook-ri, Hong Bo-lin answered honestly, "My main account has 1.01 million followers."
She is a super internet celebrity in this country, not counting her secondary accounts.
Hearing this, Yu Li turned around and glanced at the ISG account operator. The other party lowered his head in embarrassment. It was already good that they had 300,000 fans, while those in the same industry only had tens of thousands.
Yu Li withdrew her gaze. She had brought the media department here today for a reason. It wasn't like Tia was the only one allowed to do the live broadcast.
"Would you like to help me start a live broadcast?" she asked Hong Baolin. "The remuneration will be based on your quotation."
Hong Baolin swallowed and nodded vigorously. She was willing to do it even without money, just to get in touch with Quan Yuli.
"Let's go." Yu Li took the lead and walked in front. Zheng Zhihe called on the media department and Hong Baolin to follow. The bodyguard automatically appeared beside Yu Li, identified himself to the security personnel, and the group went upstairs.
On the rooftop, Zhu Luoqi waved to the CPBC reporter: "Please take a good picture of me."
After saying that, he was still dissatisfied and took out his mobile phone: "Ah Xi, it's better for me to show my face for the last time before I die."
There were no fans at all during the live broadcast. She forced a smile at the camera: "Haha, hello everyone, I'm Zhu Luoqi, I'm going to jump off the building."
There was a work badge hanging on his chest with a big company logo on it.
As she spoke, she began to cry: "I didn't want to do this either. I was so scared of dying, but ISG forced me to do this. The ISG representative forced me to do this!"
Just as she was about to accuse the ISG representative of something excessive, the rooftop door was pushed open and Yu Li walked out.
The staff behind him began setting up equipment. Everyone present was confused. A firefighter came out and asked, "Are you the ISG representative? This person has been yelling that he wants to see you. What are you doing now?"
"Jump off the building," Yu Li said, revealing the shield necklace around her neck. Money can buy a lot of things, but reputation can't. She wanted to take ISG to the top.
He approached Zhu Luoqi and turned to face the camera under her puzzled gaze: "Designer Zhu's last wish before his death was to see me. Now that his wish has come true, it's my turn."
"My wish is to help ISG restore its reputation and let everyone know what kind of company ISG is."
