"What do you mean?"
"Miss Wang's latest design, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that it's not her style," Zuo An reminded him.
Boss Luo immediately understood.
He immediately said to his assistant, "Call Wang Rui to me right away!"
"Yes."
A moment later, Wang Rui arrived.
Her new design had garnered a lot of attention online and had been praised by many, putting her in a very good mood.
She thought the boss had called her in this time to praise her as well.
However, as soon as she entered, she saw the man sitting opposite the sofa. Although he wore a mask, his profile was exceptionally smooth and handsome, his aura sharp and powerful, and he was undeniably distinguished.
Wang Rui immediately guessed, was he here to acquire her design?
But she had already signed with someone else.
However, if he offered a high enough price, that wouldn't be a problem.
"Boss Luo, you called for me," Wang Rui said respectfully, a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
Boss Luo glanced at her, "Tell me what you've done."
"Boss Luo, are you referring to the design?" Wang Rui asked tentatively.
"Yes."
Wang Rui understood, "Boss Luo, this design was also created out of a burst of inspiration for me. Does this gentleman wish to acquire the copyright? Unfortunately, I've already signed with another party, but they haven't used it yet, so there's room for negotiation..."
"Is that what I asked you to say?" Boss Luo interrupted abruptly, "Tell me the truth, did you design this drawing yourself?"
Hearing this, Wang Rui's heart trembled.
Why would the boss ask this?
"Of course, I designed it myself!" Wang Rui maintained her composure.
Boss Luo sneered, "Still not admitting it? Wang Rui, I'll give you one more chance. Tell me everything you've done, from beginning to end!"
Wang Rui's face paled slightly, but she insisted, "Boss Luo, I designed it."
Nuofiya had promised her when she gave her the design that she would never be exposed.
Wang Rui was not afraid of being investigated.
"Wang Rui, Mr. Ye is here to acquire our company, what are you still hiding?" Boss Luo was almost infuriated, gritting his teeth and lowering his voice.
Looking at Boss Luo, Wang Rui's heart skipped a beat.
Mr. Ye was here to acquire the company?
For that unknown designer?
Her face suddenly turned pale.
Under everyone's gaze, her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. Finally, she had to speak softly and confess the truth...
However, she did not mention Nuofiya. If she had mentioned Nuofiya, she was sure Nuofiya would not have let her off the hook!
The next morning, the temperature dropped sharply. Wen Yan got up and spent over an hour preparing a rich meal for two, which she packed into bento boxes and took to the company.
She hadn't expected those people to arrive so early.
As soon as she arrived, she was summoned to the reception room and faced their judgmental gazes.
The project director said coldly, "The day is up. Do you have anything to say?"
Wen Yan: "I want to call someone in." m..oΓg
In the office area, the designers were almost all discussing Wen Yan's situation, believing that Wen Yan was doomed today.
However, they showed no sympathy.
"No matter how Wen Yan got in through the back door before, at least our company will finally be free of a rotten apple."
"Yeah, I'm really impressed. Why would this happen? I hope it doesn't damage the company's reputation."
Listening to the disgust in everyone's tone, Luo Ziyu's lips curved into a smug smile, but he said softly, "I still think Wen Yan couldn't possibly have done something like this. Maybe there's a misunderstanding. Wen Yan said Wang Rui plagiarized her, perhaps that's really the case."
This statement immediately drew more ridicule from everyone.
"She's crazy. So confident, doesn't she even look in the mirror?"
"I'm dying of laughter, this is truly the joke of the year. Wang Rui, though not as good as Nuofiya, is still a designer with great potential, well-connected, with many fans, and graduated from a foreign design academy. She can completely crush Wen Yan."
"I don't know where Wen Yan gets her confidence from, the confidence of using the back door?"
Everyone was almost certain that Wen Yan, the plagiarist, must have gotten in through the back door.
They inwardly wished for Wen Yan to be kicked out.
Liu Huanhuan felt the same way, and also felt a sense of relief. She had seen Wen Yan's work and it was indeed very strong. She considered herself the most outstanding intern of this batch, but she wasn't sure if she could surpass her. Now that she knew she was a plagiarist, she felt a sense of liberation.
As expected, her strength had reached its peak.
How could anyone be better than her?
Liu Huanhuan thought contemptuously and saw Wen Yan walk in.
"Wen Yan is back, here to pack your things?" Liu Huanhuan asked with a half-smile.
Wen Yan, however, looked at Luo Ziyu: "Luo Ziyu, come in."
"Why are you calling me?" Luo Ziyu said warily, "I'm not going to give false testimony for you."
"Just come in."
"First, tell me what you want to do."
Seeing that Luo Ziyu refused to leave, Wen Yan said directly, "You know best what's between us, don't you?"
Luo Ziyu's heart skipped a beat.
What did Wen Yan mean by this?
Did she know something?
But it was impossible.
"If you don't say why I should go with you, this has nothing to do with me. Don't even think about dumping your dirty laundry on me," Luo Ziyu said firmly.
"I originally wanted to give you some face, but since you don't cherish it, I won't be polite. Luo Ziyu, I have obtained the surveillance footage of you stealing my design." Wen Yan said.
Luo Ziyu's expression changed.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Wen Yan, you're not going to just find some footage of me in front of your computer and claim I stole your work, are you?" Luo Ziyu became agitated, feeling deeply hurt, "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I even spoke up for you just now!"
Compared to the plagiarist Wen Yan, everyone naturally believed Luo Ziyu more.
"Oh my god, how vicious! But Ziyu, don't worry, everyone believes you."
"So, does she mean Wang Rui really plagiarized her? That's ridiculous, why would Wang Rui do that?"
"That doesn't make any sense!"
The commotion attracted people from the adjacent reception room, who came out and saw this scene.
Luo Ziyu saw Lin Fang and immediately cried, "Sister Fang, I'm so upset. I always thought Wen Yan wasn't a plagiarist, but now she's accusing me of stealing her design and giving it to Wang Rui!"
Lin Fang's face turned ugly.
"Wen Yan, are you crazy? Stop messing around and pack your things. We can't afford a 'great god' like you at Xinghua!" she reprimanded.
"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, watch."
Wen Yan opened the video and showed it to everyone:
"This is after everyone left for the night, Luo Ziyu returned to the company and was fiddling with something on my computer."
Seeing the footage, everyone was surprised and a little more thoughtful.
The video Wen Yan obtained was from the company.
She had already gone to retrieve the surveillance footage.
Lin Fang felt even more uncomfortable. Wen Yan had obtained the design department's surveillance footage without her permission!
How did she get it!
Even with the evidence right in front of them, Luo Ziyu remained unfazed, "I was just looking to see if there was anything I needed on your computer. I didn't take your design. This is not evidence at all!"
