Chapter 316 Infringement (20)
"Now, a news interruption. According to the latest reports, a shopping website located in a county under the jurisdiction of our city is currently suing the original designer over the copyright of its main product. However, the defendant insists that he is not suspected of plagiarism and that he and the plaintiff are friends. Let's see what's going on in the report from the front!"
A news segment broke on the TV in the lounge.
Lin Zhougang turned his head and took a look. The scene changed and he was downstairs of the "Rumeng" company. A group of reporters carrying cameras surrounded Tian Xin and asked questions non-stop.
"Hello, Ms. Tian, could you please tell me why you copied Ms. Zhen's Hanfu creation?"
"I heard that the recently popular 'Chang'an Street' website sells these Hanfu costumes. Did you steal Miss Zhen's designs just to profit from the website?"
"Ms. Tian, are you confident you can win this lawsuit? Is the girl in the video online you?"
"Ms. Tian..."
"Ms. Tian..."
Tian Xin said nothing, but just kept pushing to get out. However, no matter how hard she pushed, it was no use. The reporters surrounded her like an iron barrel, and she couldn't get out at all.
She looked at Master Mo who was pushed out of the encirclement and made a gesture to her anxiously.
Master Mo quickly understood what was going on, pulled her out and stuffed her into the car, then drove away before anyone could react.
"It was really thrilling just now. I almost couldn't get out!" Tian Xin covered her chest and gasped, seeming to be still in fear.
Master Mo "lectured" her while driving: "Luckily nothing happened, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to explain myself! Why were you so close to him?
There's nothing to do at this time except wait. Wait for Lin Zhou to call and ask clearly. Once he confirms that there is an agreement, won't we change from being passive to being active? Why rush? Now that Zhen Zhen hasn't been brought out, it's actually alarmed the enemy!"
"I just wanted to give it a try!"
Tian Xin looked guilty, not daring to even look at Master Mo. This didn't seem like her usual carefree self; instead, she looked like a primary school student who was afraid of being criticized for doing something wrong.
"That's enough!" Master Mo said helplessly, "It's good that you're out. Now we can only take it one step at a time.
After a pause, she asked again: "How is it? Did you get through to Lin Zhou on the phone? What did he say?"
"Still can't get in touch!" Tian Xin said, "Maybe he's busy with something else! He's been in a lot of trouble lately!"
"Then we'll fight again," Master Mo said. "No matter how important his matter is, there's no rush. Without this agreement, we won't have the evidence to directly prove that 'Moonlight' is your original creation. That'll cause trouble later..."
Tian Xin understood and took out her cell phone from her bag to call Lin Zhou.
After searching for several times, I still couldn't find any trace of the phone.
"That's weird. I clearly put it in my bag, how could it be gone?"
She frantically rummaged through her bag and pockets.
"Look under the seat to see if anything has fallen down!" Master Mo reminded her.
"Oh, yes, yes," she reacted, lowered her head and felt under the seat with her hand.
No!
"Maybe he was squeezed out by the reporters just now?" Master Mo guessed.
"I think it's probably nine out of ten!" Tian Xin said, "I was just trying to squeeze out. There were so many people, I probably got squeezed out on the way out."
She was a little worried: "What should we do now? There are some files I saved on the phone. If it's lost...why don't we go back and look for it!"
"Do you remember Lin Zhou's number?"
Master Mo turned the car around and handed her his phone while driving back: "Use mine first. If the reporter is still here, don't get out of the car!"
"OK!"
She knew Lin Zhou's number and quickly dialed it. Still no answer.
She called several times, but the call was always unanswered.
"Forget it, I'll call you later. Let me find my phone first." She returned the phone to Master Mo and stared out the window in a daze. She recalled the thrilling scenes just now.
After Master Mo came out of "Rumeng", the two of them discussed how to bring Zhen Zhen out to find out more about the situation.
Before they even entered, they saw Zhen Zhen and a middle-aged man coming out of the building and getting into a car. Without delay, they followed them immediately.
The car stopped at the entrance of Zhen Zhen's residential complex, and the man and Zhen Zhen went upstairs together. About ten minutes later, the two men came down again, Zhen Zhen clutching a bag. Then they got back into the car and drove away.
"It looks like a change of clothes!" said Master Mo.
"Come on!" Tian Xin said, "He can get a change of clothes, or change his place to stay, or go take a shower. Let's follow him and see, maybe we can take the opportunity to see Zhen Zhen."
Without saying much, Master Mo stepped on the accelerator and followed. As expected, the car stopped in front of a bath center.
Zhen Zhen and the man got out of the car together.
Tian Xin stared at the two people's movements closely and was about to follow them when another person suddenly got out of the car.
She took a closer look and was speechless - it was the fat girl.
"Sure enough, just like what I said, this fat girl is just like that director."
"So what do we do now? Should we keep going?"
"Why not?" Tian Xin said, "If Zhen Zhen doesn't know that this fat girl has a relationship with the director, she might tell her about meeting you. I have to tell her the truth before that, and find out if she really doesn't know or is just pretending to be stupid!"
After saying that, the two got out of the car.
Zhen Zhen and his group have already gone in.
She and Master Mo completed the formalities and entered the women's bath together.
The two agreed to act separately in the car. Master Mo was responsible for leading the fat girl away, and she took the opportunity to meet Zhen Zhen.
But after searching for a long time, there was no sign of Zhen Zhen and the fat girl in the bathroom.
"That's weird. He clearly came in, but where is he?"
Tian Xin frowned and ran to ask the staff nearby. The reply was that this was the public area. The two people went to the VIP area, which was upstairs.
"I thought so!" She couldn't help but laugh, and said to Master Mo self-deprecatingly: "Everyone says this city is great, but I think money is the best. We spent ages looking for just this one VIP. What a waste of time."
"Do you want to go up?" Master Mo asked.
“No card!”
"Just do one and it's done! What's the big deal?"
Okay, you are rich, you can go ahead!
Tian Xin made a "please" gesture to Master Mo with a flattering look on her face, and then they went upstairs together.
Unlike what she had imagined, the VIP area here was a bit "simple." Perhaps it was because the development speed in her previous life was so rapid that many things were not available today.
The bathing, hot springs and lounge in the public area are all public.
This is an independent space like a hotel, with absolute privacy.
While Master Mo was applying for a card, she glanced at the room behind her. Finally, her gaze landed on the door of a room in the "VIP area." On the doorknob was a "Do Not Disturb" sign, which was still shaking slightly, as if someone had just entered.
