Chapter 298 Infringement (2)
"No need! I'll give you a number later and you can fax it to me!"
Tian Xin replied quickly, without giving Lin Zhou a chance to ask further questions.
Perhaps sensing that she was intentionally avoiding the topic of "where", Lin Zhou did not ask again and replied with a single word.
"good!"
The car was speeding along the highway. Tian Xin glanced out the window and vaguely remembered that this did not seem to be the shortest road to the city.
"Where is this?" she asked.
"Suburbs!" Master Mo responded and continued to drive forward with concentration.
A few seconds later, perhaps noticing Tian Xin's gaze following her, Master Mo turned around and glanced at her, then smiled faintly: "Oh, that's right. Since you just arrived today, let's not go to the city for now. My home is in the suburbs. You should go and get some rest first. We'll talk about the lawsuit tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master Mo!" Tian Xin also turned around, a hint of apology on her face: "But I'm short on time this time, so I might not be able to stay for a few days. I want to meet with Zhen Zhen today to sort things out. Also, there's one more thing..."
She paused, a little hesitant: "I want to ask you for a favor!"
"you say……"
————
Since parting with Zhen Zhen at the show, Tian Xin has never seen her again.
Before returning home, she had called Zhen Zhen. But for some reason, the call never went through. After that, she was busy with the website and village affairs, and gradually forgot about Zhen Zhen.
Until I saw that message last night.
In my impression, Zhen Zhen is a well-educated and well-mannered girl. Apart from speaking bluntly, she has no other problems.
She was fair-skinned, beautiful, sweet, and easygoing. She called Lin Zhou "brother" whenever she saw him, and even called him "brother" when she saw him. Although they had only been together for a few days, Tian Xin admired her immensely. She liked her independence and strong opinions, and even more so, her straightforwardness and unpretentiousness.
"Beep-beep-beep--Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered. Please call again later..."
This was the fourth time Tian Xin called Zhen Zhen that afternoon, and just like the previous three times, no one answered the call.
At this moment, she was sitting in a coffee shop that she and Zhen Zhen had been to before, waiting for someone to come. It was Zhen Zhen who asked her to meet here.
The location was decided by Zhen Zhen. They had a phone call before coming, and Zhen Zhen said she would discuss it with her in detail after they met.
After Master Mo dropped her off, he returned to her cheongsam shop, which was only one stop away and took more than ten minutes to walk.
After waiting for about an hour, several girls who claimed to be Zhen Zhen's friends came to the cafe. One of these girls had been familiar to Tian Xin: the plump girl who had tried on clothes with Zhen Zhen in the cheongsam shop last time.
Seeing her sitting alone, the fat girl led a few girls towards her, greeting her as they walked: "Hello, Sister Tian Xin! How are you?"
"Thanks to you, I'm not hurt at all!" Tian Xin smiled and joked with a few people.
However, they did not smile at her. They walked straight up to her and sat down without any courtesy.
"Where is Zhen Zhen? Why didn't she come?" Tian Xin asked.
The plump girl propped her face up on the table with her hands, looked into her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry about why she didn't come. Just tell me how you want to handle this matter? Is it a private settlement or a public one?"
"What do you mean by private or public? "
The fat girl was not in a hurry at all. When she heard her ask this, she stopped pretending and asked her for money directly.
"Sister, you are a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Zhen Zhen is currently working as a designer at Rumeng. The Yuehua series is her first work as a designer and is highly regarded in the company.
But you helped her with a fashion show, and then her work became all over the place, with pirated copies everywhere on the Internet. How can she continue to stay in the circle? It's so embarrassing. So..."
"So, you think I plagiarized her work?"
"Yeah, I told you I'm a smart person!" The fat girl said to them with a fake smile.
"How ridiculous," Tian Xin snorted coldly, and said, "I thought you were all students and wouldn't be so picky. I didn't expect you guys are so good at confusing right and wrong! You can even say such things!"
"Thank you for the compliment, sister. Tell me straight away, how much are you planning to pay?"
The fat girl leaned back in the chair, crossed her arms, and stared at Tian Xin's face with a malicious look.
"How much? Ha! Looks like you guys want to settle this privately?" Tian Xin sneered, leaning back in her chair and saying disdainfully, "But the court summons has already been handed to me, and you're going to settle this privately again. I'm a little confused. What do you mean? Are you trying to take it all?"
"What do you mean by 'take it all'? Stop talking nonsense!" The fat girl grew impatient. She sat up and glared at Tian Xin, her voice filled with anger. "Let me get this straight. 300,000 yuan. You pay us and we'll drop the lawsuit. Let's just write this off. From now on, we can each do our own thing and not interfere with each other. How about that?"
"hehe……"
Tian Xin was so angry that she laughed: "300,000? Why don't you just go and rob it?"
After saying that, she thought for a moment and laughed again: "I'm not right. What you're doing now is just robbery, isn't it? It's just that you're robbing so blatantly and shamelessly!"
"Whatever you want to say!" The fat girl said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I've brought this to you. If you don't agree, we'll see you in court."
"Stop threatening me!" Tian Xin suddenly stood up and shouted, her tone full of anger: "Go back and tell Zhen Zhen, let alone 300,000, she can't even get 3 yuan from me. I know who the original creators of these Hanfu are, and you know it too.
Don't think I'm easy to manipulate just because I'm being polite. To be honest, I really don't want to be polite this time. Since you're planning to sue me, don't be a coward! Go back and ask Zhen Zhen to come see me! Tell her I'm waiting here for her. If she doesn't come, I won't appear in court. Let's see who can outlast the other. I have plenty of time and patience!"
"You..." The fat girl was so angry that she lost her temper and pointed at Tian Xin: "Who do you think you are? Don't forget, you said at the show that this is a work designed by Zhen Zhen. Why, you don't want to admit it now?"
I heard that "Chang'an Street" website has a video of you wearing Yuehua, and it's quite popular! So, if I post that part you said at the show on a forum, guess what netizens would say?
“…”
The fat girl became more and more proud as she spoke. Although she was delivering a message for Zhen Zhen, her eyes and tone were not polite at all, and she sounded like a complete scoundrel.
After a few words, Tian Xin's hands slowly clenched into fists, and she suddenly felt a little regretful.
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but once she did, the website became her weak spot.
Preparing "Chang'an Avenue" has exhausted their efforts. If this video is released and netizens believe that they are selling pirated products, the losses behind it will be immeasurable. Not only them, but also the investors, villagers, and tens of thousands of merchants who have just registered on the website will be affected.
The answer is obvious: definitely.
Then, we cannot allow this matter to continue to ferment.
Ultimately, this was a matter between her and Zhen Zhen. Since she was unwilling to show up and had these people come to pass on the message, there was still room for maneuver.
Thinking of this, Tian Xin's clenched fists loosened again, and her face returned to its previous calm state.
She paused, glanced at the few people, and then slowly spoke:
"What do you want?"
