Shi Mubai had considered the possibility of trending on social media.
However, given CL Group's current influence in the jewelry industry, having beautiful designs alone is not enough; there also needs to be a marketing angle.
Only then can it go viral and trend on social media.
Shi Mubai had already finalized the plan with the marketing team, intending to launch the marketing campaign on the day of the competition. However, before the day of the marketing campaign even arrived, their work had already become a trending topic.
This was an unexpected surprise for Shi Mubai.
This not only saves manpower and resources, but also saves a lot of marketing expenses.
Shi Mubai became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore. He immediately sat up in bed and said, "Chengze, what did I say? Our design drawings are sure to be a huge hit!"
No.
It's trending on social media?
Big Explosion?
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengze's eyes betrayed no emotion. He sighed deeply and then said, "Mu Bai! You'd better log into Weibo right away!"
Shi Mubai picked up the laptop from the bedside table with one hand, turned on the computer, and clicked to log in to Weibo.
Almost as soon as Shi Mubai logged into Weibo, he saw the words 'CL Jewelry' trending on the hot search list.
A smile immediately appeared on Shi Mubai's lips.
But soon.
Shi Mubai could no longer laugh.
Because there is another entry following the term 'CL Jewelry'.
'CL plagiarized!'
Plagiarism?
Whose work did you copy?
At this point, Shi Mubai hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem. "Which brand copied us? We must hold them legally accountable!"
Only by respecting originality can the jewelry industry develop better and better.
Shi Mubai hates plagiarism the most!
This is actually why domestic jewelry brands cannot go international. Whenever a big brand releases a best-selling product, some unknown jewelry brands will blindly follow suit and copy it.
In fact, Shi Mubai had considered that his renderings would be copied after they were released, but he did not expect that they would be copied so quickly.
It's only been a few hours!
If they put the same effort into original creation as they did into plagiarism, they wouldn't have remained stagnant.
Qi Chengze's voice came from the other end of the screen again, "Mu Bai! It's not about who plagiarized us now! It's about us being suspected of plagiarizing others!"
"What do you mean?" Shi Mubai burst out laughing. "Chengze, are you confused?"
Does a design genius like him need to plagiarize others?
It's ridiculous!
"You'll see if you click on the trending search terms," Qi Chengze's voice followed.
Shi Mubai clicked on the trending search terms.
When you see trending topics.
Shi Mubai was completely stunned, his mind went blank, and his ears were ringing.
Oh my god!
What exactly happened?
Why?
Why are the renderings of the new model from the Zheng Group exactly the same as theirs?
That's not even the most fatal thing!
The most fatal flaw was that the Zheng Group posted the picture ten minutes earlier than them.
In other words...
They are the ones who plagiarized!
"How could this happen?" Shi Mubai suddenly remembered Zheng Mingtao's smug face at the meeting yesterday and said angrily, "It was Zheng Mingtao! It must be Zheng Mingtao! That shameless scoundrel Zheng Mingtao! He stole our design drafts!"
At this point, Shi Mubai continued, "Was it you? Chengze! Did something go wrong on your end? Did someone leak the design drawings to Zheng Mingtao?"
Aside from the problem being with Qi Chengze, Shi Mubai couldn't think of anyone else.
Shi Mubai is very anxious now.
The submitted work is suspected of plagiarism, so both its listing and winning awards will be impossible now!
The group's reputation will suffer a severe blow, resulting in incalculable losses.
It's almost impossible for them to turn things around again.
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengze was so angry he laughed.
"Brother! What are you saying! I've been living alone all this time to finish the design drawings as soon as possible! I haven't even left the house! But you!" Qi Chengze felt a throbbing pain in his head. "Didn't I remind you not to let your cousin into the study? Did you listen? Not only did you not listen, but you're also trying to shift the blame!"
"Let me tell you, the one who stole the design blueprints and gave them to the Zheng Group is none other than your dear cousin!"
For this jewelry competition, and also for the company's successful IPO, Qi Chengze hasn't had a good night's sleep in three months.
I finally managed to get two full nights of sleep these past few days, and now this has happened!
This caused his three months of hard work to go down the drain.
More than three months of hard work will be in vain.
Their previous reputation in the jewelry industry will also be lost.
Qi Chengze never dreamed this day would come. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.
If he hadn't reminded Shi Mubai, then it would have been fine.
But he clearly reminded Shi Mubai to be careful of Tang An.
But Shi Mubai simply didn't listen to what he said!
Did Tang An steal the design drawings?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Upon hearing Qi Chengze's words, Shi Mubai retorted immediately, "An'an is my sister, she would never do such a thing!"
In Shi Mubai's heart, Tang An has always been a pure and flawless being.
She would never stoop to doing such a thing.
"Who else could it be but her?" Qi Chengze took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "Before Tang An came, we never had any problems with our important design drawings. But since Tang An came, the results of our three months of hard work have become someone else's!"
Even a fool would know that Tang An was responsible for this.
"It wasn't her! It definitely wasn't her! She had no reason to do this to me." Shi Mubai still couldn't believe it, and his face turned pale with anxiety.
"Who says she has no reason? That 60 million is her reason!" Qi Chengze continued, "Don't forget, Tang An has already been kicked out of the Shi family. She has nothing now. Let alone 60 million, she would agree even if it were 6 million!"
Sixty million?
