The video jumped frame by frame, and Zhang Xiaoyue's face became paler and paler.
The moment she saw her father being pushed into the reservoir, Zhang Xiaoyue covered her mouth and cried out in pain: "Dad!"
"How could this happen? How could Third Master do this? What he did is illegal!" Zhang Xiaoyue's eyes were bloodshot.
"Send me the video, I'm going to call the police. It was Mr. Pei San who killed my father, I want revenge for my father!" Zhang Xiaoyue roared.
The man in the black hood raised an eyebrow.
This girl was just as gullible as the eldest wife said. She didn't doubt the content of the video at all and directly pointed the finger at Pei Yaozhou, which saved him a lot of effort.
"Do you think you can handle Master Pei San with just you and this video?"
"Do you believe that if you call the police, you'll end up like your father?"
Zhang Xiaoyue shuddered. "Then, what can we do? Did my father die in vain? Is there any law in this world?"
The man in the black hood sneered, "I have a perfect idea. You're Pei's design director. If you're willing to testify that Pei's two designs were plagiarized, I guarantee Pei's stock price will plummet!"
Zhang Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "What good is a plummeting stock price? I want Pei Yaozhou's life in exchange for mine!"
The man in the black hood curled his lips. He thought this woman was easy to fool, but he didn't expect her to be so clear-headed in these matters.
"Mr. Pei is a powerful figure with deep roots. It is impossible to bring him down in one go. We can only clip his wings little by little, and this step of yours is crucial!" The man began to brainwash Zhang Xiaoyue.
Zhang Xiaoyue stared at the man with eyes as sharp as a hawk's: "I can do as you say, but I have conditions."
The man was delighted: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it!"
"I don't know who you are, and I can't trust you unless you can come up with something that convinces me, such as the bargaining chip to bring down Pei Yaozhou." Zhang Xiaoyue looked at the man opposite with a determined look.
The man tsk-tsks, a little impatient.
In order to complete the task quickly, he waved to Zhang Xiaoyue and whispered their next plan in her ear.
"Theft is a matter of integrity. If it ferments, it will inevitably affect Pei's stock price. Pei's shareholders' trust in Mr. Pei will be greatly reduced, which will directly affect Mr. Pei's subsequent acquisition projects."
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to create a good time difference and cut off the Gu family's financial support. Master Pei's previous efforts will be completely wasted, and the loss of money will be as high as 300 billion. I don't need to tell you what 300 billion means, right?"
Zhang Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows: "So you are from the Gu family?"
The man didn't expect Zhang Xiaoyue to ask him this out of the blue. He also realized that he had said too much and coughed lightly: "Don't worry about other things. I think my sincerity is enough."
"If Third Master Pei loses this project, he will be severely damaged. He may even lose his position at the next shareholders' meeting. When Third Master Pei steps down as the CEO of Pei Corporation, are you still worried that you won't be able to bring him down and avenge your father?"
Zhang Xiaoyue was silent for a long time. When she raised her head again, her eyes were firm: "Okay, I promise you, I will do as you say!"
Looking at Zhang Xiaoyue's back as she left, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out her cell phone and made a call: "Madam, don't worry, everything has been taken care of. Just wait and see Mr. Pei's joke!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jing turned on the TV.
The screen was broadcasting the autumn fashion show.
Lin Jing opened a bottle of red wine, shook the glass gently, walked to the sofa and sat down, slightly curling the corners of her lips.
At this moment, Gu's show has ended and the host is conducting a post-match interview.
"Gu's creativity this time is very bold, and many judges expressed their admiration. As the organizer of this competition, Mr. Gu, do you have anything to say about this show?"
The person being interviewed is Gu Yan, the second young master of the Gu family, who is also the tacit future heir of the Gu family.
Gu Yan was wearing a white suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and elegant.
"I followed this show throughout, which made me realize how hard it is to create each design. The success of this show is the result of the joint efforts of all Gu's employees. It is an honor for everyone at Gu's to be recognized by this international judge!"
"Mr. Gu said that very well. Besides that, Mr. Gu, do you have anything else to say to the audience?"
Gu Yan nodded. "What I want to say is, support originality and resist malicious competition. Gu's will spare no effort to cooperate with the police investigation. I hope the police can give justice to Gu's company and its designers."
As soon as these words were spoken, the live broadcast comments began to scroll wildly.
[Gu's words are so artistic! Pei: Just give me my ID!]
Mr. Gu is young and promising. I hope China can have more positive and sunny young entrepreneurs like him!
[Boycott Pei's, boycott plagiarists! If Pei's really plagiarized Gu's ideas, I swear I will never buy anything related to Pei's again in my life!]
Looking at this scene, Lin Jing couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
She raised the glass and slowly poured the wine into her lips, enjoying the sweetness in the slight bitterness.
Pei Yaozhou, this is just the beginning. I have prepared a bigger surprise for you.
After the interview with Gu Yan, the second fashion show began.
When the model slowly walked to the front of the stage, all the invited judges were shocked.
"What's the theme? Why is it different from what Qin's promoted before?" Emily asked the assistant beside her excitedly.
The assistant contacted Qin and told Emily and the judges around Emily the news.
"I heard that the Qin family hired a new ancient style designer and temporarily changed the theme to come up with this set of three costumes featuring ancient auspicious beasts!"
Emily excitedly stood up on the spot and pointed at the models: "This is the show I want. I want to do an exclusive interview with their designer!"
Through the live broadcast, Emily's words instantly spread throughout the domestic and international fashion circles. You know, being able to be interviewed by Emily is equivalent to being recognized by the international fashion industry!
Backstage, Pei's staff were all dumbfounded looking at Qin's models on the stage.
How come Qin's clothing is almost exactly the same as the one worn by their models, even the theme auspicious beast is the same!
"Director Zhang, we don't know where Special Assistant Ren has gone and we can't get through to him on the phone. What should we do when something like this happens?" Pei's staff hurriedly asked Zhang Xiaoyue for advice.
The backstage was in chaos, and the front stage was also in an uproar.
Because of Emily's words, the reporters all turned their microphones to Qin's designer.
Qin's designer was answering questions fluently when he heard another exclamation from the crowd.
"Look, Master Pei San is here in person!"
