Chapter 318 Infringement (22)
“Dong—dong—”
After a dull knock on the door, a girl's soft voice came from outside: "Boss Luo, it's me!"
Luo Tian was resting in a chair, still wrapped in his bathrobe, a cigarette freshly lit, held between his fingertips. He lowered his eyes to glance toward the door, then slightly opened his mouth and blew out a smoke ring. A wisp of smoke spread out in front of him and then dissipated.
"What's up?"
The girl outside the door seemed stunned for a moment and didn't speak immediately. After about a few seconds, there was another knock on the door. This time, the voice was even deeper and seemed a little hesitant: "Boss Luo, I... have something to tell you!"
Hearing this, Luo Tian suddenly paused, frowning. He then quickly put the cigarette into the ashtray, stood up and opened the door.
"Luo..."
"Come in!"
The door slammed shut, and before Zhen Zhen could react, Luo Tian grabbed her and locked her in the corner. Then, under the threat of his red eyes that seemed to spit fire, a deep voice came over: "What, have you made up your mind?"
Zhen Zhen felt a little breathless. Her hands were now held by Luo Tian and pinned against the wall. His face was less than five centimeters away from hers, so close that she could clearly smell the tobacco on his breath.
"Mr. Luo... Mr. Luo, what are you doing?" She tried to struggle slightly, but it was useless.
Luo Tian's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was blazing: "Don't you have something to tell me?"
"Oh, that, I...my mom said that my dad is seriously ill, and I have to go back to see him, to see...to see him for the last time!"
"Yeah?"
"Um!"
"Then where is your dad? I'll take you there!"
"No... no need, I can go with my mom, no need to trouble you..."
"Is that your mother outside the door?"
"yes!"
"How did she know you were here just now?"
“She…she…”
"She's following you!" Luo Tian suddenly let go of Zhen Zhen's hand that was pressing on the wall, glanced at her lightly, then turned around and sat back in his previous position.
"Come here!" he whispered to the door.
Zhen Zhen still maintained the same posture as before, standing trembling at the door, not daring to move or look at him.
She had already washed and changed her clothes.
Although it was July, the height of summer, she wasn't wearing a skirt. She was bundled up in long sleeves and long pants, completely clad in them. This was unlike her. Back in school, she was known as the "hot chick," with hot pants, tank tops, and midriff-baring tops being her favorites.
However, Luo Tian was only wearing a bathrobe, which was a little loose.
She didn't dare to look back, let alone look.
Being in the same space like this was too ambiguous for her.
"Boss Luo, my mom has been looking for me these past few days. She just saw me by chance at the door and came to find me! Please let me go back and take a look, just once. I promise to be back in the evening!"
She stood trembling at the door, said all these words in one breath, then turned her head to look at Luo Tian's expression.
Luo Tian was also looking at her, his gaze still as intimidating as before. Seeing that she didn't come over, he curled his lips and smiled lightly: "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you? Come here——"
This sound is not a negotiation, it's more like an order!
Zhen Zhen sighed, hid her hands behind her back and clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, then slowly moved over and stood in front of Luo Tian.
"Sit down!" Another command!
Luo Tian patted his legs and glanced at Zhen Zhen. His expression was cold and murderous.
"Boss Luo, it's only three hours, I..."
"sit down!"
"I……"
"Kid, why are you so disobedient?" Luo Tian pulled her over, forced her onto his legs, and put his arms around her.
Seeing her trying hard to hold back her tears and stubbornly refusing to look back, he held her face and forcibly turned her around to face him. His eyes and tone were both fierce: "I told you that we are going abroad to participate in a major exhibition in a week. Why are you talking to me about going home to see your old father now!"
"But...that's my dad...you..."
"Don't you think it's a bit stupid to lie to me like that? Huh?"
Luo Tian exerted force with his hands, and the two faces suddenly moved closer, almost close at hand: "Zhen Zhen, if you are good and obedient, you will still have a meal here. If you are not obedient, there are many people to replace you.
Isn't it your dream to be a designer at Rumeng? If you're obedient, after this exhibition, I can even give you the position of Chief Designer, not just a small one."
After saying this, he lowered his eyelashes and put his lips close to hers, still swearing harshly: "But, the premise of all this is that you have to be obedient!"
"Luo... Mr. Luo..." Zhen Zhen's tears quickly burst out, and she cried bitterly. Her face was still held by Luo Tian, and she couldn't move her body. She closed her eyes and pried Luo Tian's hands apart, crying and struggling: "I... I listen, I'm obedient! Please don't do this, let go... me..."
"It's okay to let go." Luo Tian immediately released his hand, but then put his arm around her shoulders, keeping her within a safe range, ensuring she couldn't move or escape. Then he said, "Then let me ask you, have you considered what I asked Fatty to tell you?"
"Wha...what is it?"
"Didn't she tell you? About the court appearance!"
"Appear...appear in court? What do you mean?"
Zhen Zhen began to tremble all over, her eyes filled with fear and panic: "Luo...Boss Luo, I didn't do anything."
"You clearly designed 'Yue Hua', why did you give it to someone else? Do you know how much work the company put into preparing for this exhibition? I finally found a design that represents the level of 'Ru Meng', and you tell me I got the wrong person? Zhen Zhen, are you stupid or am I?"
"You...what do you mean?"
"Sue and reclaim the designer's rights to 'Yue Hua'. You, come with me to take it to an overseas exhibition. As long as this exhibition can help the company regain its position in the industry, you—"
Luo Tian looked at Zhen Zhen and smiled, his eyes full of oppression and charity from a superior: "You will be the company's 'Chief Hanfu Designer'. I promise that you will be able to thrive in the company and you will never be bullied by anyone again!"
"But 'Yuehua' wasn't my idea in the first place! I just helped Tian Xin draw the blueprints. If I were to sue, I definitely wouldn't win."
“It doesn’t matter whose idea it is. What matters is that as long as you say it’s yours, then it’s definitely yours!”
"Can……"
"No buts," Luo Tian interrupted her, letting her go. He stood up and walked to the window, lit another cigarette, and said calmly, "Just appear in court as the plaintiff and insist that 'Moonlight' is your work. Leave the rest to me. I'll find a way to help you win this case."
