Chapter 145 is pure fabrication.
As soon as I entered, I saw her staring intently at the computer, her brows furrowed.
Zhou Shufen didn't explain much, but simply zoomed in on the screen and showed it to Guo Zhenyi.
When Guo Zhenyi's gaze fell on the screen, his face immediately darkened.
"This post is pure fabrication!"
In comparison, Zhou Shufen was much calmer.
At first I was angry, but then I thought about it and it wasn't so bad.
This wave of popularity might even help the brand gain some exposure.
Compared to the great storms we may face in the future, this attack is nothing.
Guo Zhenyi comforted her.
"Don't worry, I'll handle things overseas. I'll have someone investigate and find out the truth."
He knew that emotions alone could not solve the problem; he had to use strength and evidence to refute the rumors.
He's a senior executive at a foreign company, after all these years. If he doesn't even have these resources and means, then all his hard work has been for nothing.
He called a friend abroad and asked him to find out the whole story.
In less than two hours, the whole situation was clear.
The investigation revealed that the so-called "original brand" actually had an extremely regular release mechanism.
The release time is fixed at 10:00 AM local time every Tuesday, without exception.
Therefore, you can find the problem by checking the recent posting history.
Sure enough, the investigation revealed that they had deliberately changed the release date of the design drafts earlier.
The original post's publication time was manually altered to be three days earlier than Zhou Shufen's.
This makes sense that their timeline is earlier than Zhou Shufen's.
Zhou Shufen did not show any surprise when she heard the result.
But her anger did not subside at all.
This is not the first time this has happened.
"Shufen, no matter how you want to handle it, I'll support you."
Guo Zhenyi began to speak.
Zhou Shufen is not an impulsive person.
Now that she has found out the truth, she won't just be angry.
These words warmed Zhou Shufen's heart.
What she loves most is this feeling—when she wants to make a decision or fight back, someone silently supports her.
She smiled slightly at Guo Zhenyi.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't do anything reckless."
"Yes, I believe you."
Guo Zhenyi nodded.
He knew Zhou Shufen's capabilities and also understood her bottom line.
This unwavering trust gave Zhou Shufen immense confidence.
With this support, Zhou Shufen gradually cheered herself up.
It has now been confirmed that Cheng Yulu was behind it all.
Since that's the case, Zhou Shufen no longer needs to show her any mercy.
Therefore, Zhou Shufen began to secretly investigate Cheng Yulu's past by leveraging her extensive network of contacts accumulated over the years.
Unexpectedly, the results of the investigation far exceeded her expectations.
This wasn't the first time Cheng Yulu had done something like this.
When those detailed documents were delivered to Zhou Shufen one by one, her face instantly turned cold.
Cheng Yulu's behavior was utterly disgusting.
Since entering the design industry, Cheng Yulu has been secretly watching and working on outstanding entries in the competition.
Even worse, she not only plagiarized other people's work, but also turned around and accused them of plagiarism.
She used her resources and connections in the industry to spread rumors.
They even manipulated the judging panel, leaving the victims speechless.
The more Zhou Shufen looked at these documents, the angrier she became.
She is not fighting alone; behind her are countless innocent designers who have been harmed by Cheng Yulu.
This time, she wasn't just seeking justice for herself.
She wants to speak out for those who have been deceived, hurt, and forced to leave the design industry.
A person who is so bold as to commit crimes repeatedly either thinks that no one will dare to touch her.
Either they have powerful backers.
Regardless of Cheng Yulu's situation, Zhou Shufen will not back down this time.
Zhou Shufen carefully put away all the materials she had collected.
Subsequently, she managed to contact several designers who had been victims of similar incidents.
These people lost their chance to win awards because of Cheng Yulu's framing.
They were even ostracized by the industry.
When the call was made, the other party was initially surprised.
But upon hearing that it was Zhou Shufen who made the contact personally...
Moreover, having already obtained some inside information, they immediately became agitated.
If Cheng Yulu hadn't stolen their design drafts back then, they could have established themselves in the industry.
Unfortunately, a single frame-up destroyed all their efforts.
To Zhou Shufen's surprise, one of the designers revealed a very important bombshell.
It turns out that Cheng Yulu not only copied other people's work, but also secretly hired people to write design drafts.
Many of her so-called "masterpieces" were not actually done by her.
Instead, she paid a high price to have someone else do it for her, and then published it in her name.
This news was like a bombshell, completely overturning Zhou Shufen's perception of Cheng Yulu.
She finally realized that this person was not only shameless, but also a complete fraud.
We need to get rid of her as soon as possible so that everyone can work in peace.
The victims in the industry all agreed that Zhou Shufen was right.
They had long been fed up with Cheng Yulu's arrogance and her underhanded tactics.
So they simply signed a joint letter together.
It details Cheng Yulu's various actions over the years.
They also filed a collective complaint against Cheng Yulu through formal channels, demanding that industry organizations thoroughly investigate her behavior.
Zhou Shufen was busy organizing the evidence.
Zhou Haiqing was also busy, helping to draft materials.
Everyone worked together with one heart and one mind.
There is only one goal: to completely bring Cheng Yulu down from power.
This time, they will unite and speak with justice and facts.
Zhou Shufen completely ignored all the noise and commotion on the forum.
She knew that the online flame wars were just a facade.
The real killer move lies not in the noise of public opinion, but in the concrete actions behind the scenes.
She planned to strike unexpectedly and catch them off guard.
She wanted to take advantage of Zhou Dajun's momentary lapse in attention and stab him in the back.
He didn't have time to react, nor did he have time to cover for Cheng Yulu.
This strike not only needs to be precise, but also ruthless.
The goal is to directly sever Cheng Yulu's backers and resource chains, completely depriving her of any chance to turn the tables.
At this time, Cheng Yulu was still in the dark.
She was happily plotting how to use this opportunity to humiliate Zhou Shufen.
She plans to release a few more bombshell revelations.
For example, they forged chat logs and fabricated rumors that Zhou Shufen had privately accepted bribes.
They even planned to hire online trolls to stir up trouble on various platforms.
As long as public opinion is on her side, she can maintain her position.
But her smugness didn't last long before Zhou Shufen's counterattack came.
When she saw Zhou Shufen's clarification statement, every word felt like a knife piercing her vitals.
What shocked her even more was that the niche foreign brand and the journalists she had worked with also came forward to testify.
He publicly supported Zhou Shufen.
The niche brand also quietly deleted the post and instead issued an official statement to clarify.
They have never accused Zhou Shufen of plagiarism; their previous statements were due to misunderstandings or being misled.
The previous barrage of criticism against Zhou Shufen has now turned into positive comments praising her for upholding her principles.
To make matters worse, within minutes, Cheng Yulu received several notices from her partners terminating their contracts.
