Chapter 28
A week later, Jiaolong Investment Group.
The four team members gathered together and were excitedly discussing—
“Lou’s new products are going to explode this season, isn’t it too good for the sales to climb?”
“The new design is amazing! Although I got the internal gift, I still bought all the lipstick shells of other colors. Who can resist this! You say designer Shi is a boy, how did you think of changing it? Shell?”
“Stylist Shi is young and powerful, and a good-looking person. It’s a pity that the famous grass has an owner.”
“Speaking of which, when the investment analysis department also had a valuation error, Lou’s performance in this quarter must have increased by more than 2%, right?”
A week ago, the public opinion of Zhao’s Meiji air cushion’s “rotten face” became more and more popular, causing strong protests from countless buyers.
At the same time, Lou’s, a small domestic cosmetics brand, stood up and produced a series of evidence and the proof of the copyright of the appearance patent, pointing directly at Zhao’s new product appearance plagiarism.
Zhao’s products have a bad face and hold high the gimmick of “domestic brands”, but they are plagiarizing their appearance behind their backs?
what the fuck?
The anger of consumers was ignited at once, and they made more and more efforts to make complaints to the industrial and commercial supervision department.
They grabbed the behind-the-scenes leaders of the air cushion brand and scolded them all.
Even if Zhao’s and its brands denied the ‘plagiarism’ at the first time, the ‘bad face’ caused by the air cushion is an inescapable fact, so it failed to win back the trust of consumers, and the stock value continued to fall and evaporate within a week. , losses are increasing.
On the contrary, Lou’s Flower Pavilion, which has always called itself a “small domestic brand”, has entered the field of view of netizens and customers.
Although Lou’s Huazhongge used to be a niche route, because the victory lies in conscience, the reputation of its products has always been very good.
Today, Huazhongge has attracted the attention of netizens by relying on the beautiful Chinese-style outer packaging, and immediately there is a water army jumping out from Amway—
“Oops! My throne’s domestic brand is about to be discovered by everyone!”
“Sisters, listen to me! The things in Huazhongge are really easy to use! The packaging used to be quite plastic, so I’m embarrassed to recommend it! This time the new product packaging is like a fairy, it must be rushed!”
“One thing to say, her things are quite useful.”
This is an era that requires marketing and traffic. Only by finding ways to enter the vision of consumers can we open up the situation of blocked sales.
With Luo’s investment, Hua Chongge has gone all out to launch overwhelming publicity, online promotion, video advertising, and even the flat ground!
Of course, there are also doubts from netizens-
“Have you started to put in the navy again? You haven’t had enough of the lesson of Maggie’s air cushion? Don’t get the finished product and it’s made of plastic!”
“I no longer believe that domestic brands can produce any good products. Every time they deceive consumers by supporting domestic products and national-style designs!”
Faced with this distrustful voice, Lou did not argue for the first time, but seized the time to distribute the existing new products, so the first batch of customers who placed orders received the goods within three days. .
It didn’t take long for the first batch of customers to scream on the online sharing platform, summed up in one sentence –
“Good texture! High value! The price is conscientious! The product itself is easy to use!”
With the air cushion of Zhao’s Meiji who was branded “domestic brand, national style design” in the same period, Lou’s Huazhongge simply pressed the opponent to the ground to reduce dimensionality and attack!
After the first round of customer verification, more and more online celebrity beauty bloggers and ordinary netizens have also entered the stages of purchase, evaluation, and Amway.
In just one week, Lou’s added three additional rounds of pre-sale and all of them were sold out!
Whether it is the brand Fang Lou’s or the investor Luo’s, this is a win-win situation with big profits!
Some members of the team secretly rejoiced, “Fortunately, they were not instigated by Chen Hui to leave. I feel that we have missed it this time.”
I thought Lou Shi was an Adou who couldn’t help, but I didn’t expect that the other party was actually a dark horse who made his own way in the fiercely competitive makeup market.
The rest of the team nodded in agreement, and some couldn’t help but gossip in a low voice, “Tell me, how did the first version of the design leak out?”
“Who knows?”
“Didn’t the group headquarters order a thorough investigation of this matter? Why is the efficiency so slow this time? It’s been almost a week…”
Only halfway through the words, Yuan Hong, who was in the independent office, slammed the door open, and he left anxiously in front of all the team members.
“What happened to Brother Yuan recently? Uneasy?”
“Who knows?”
Yuan Hong had no time to pay attention to the discussions of the team members. He hurried to the stairwell according to the WeChat message he sent. As soon as he opened the safety passage door, he saw Chen Hui smoking and waiting in place.
The two looked at each other’s eyes, each with their own thoughts.
Yuan Hong slammed the door of the stairwell shut, his chest heaving, “Chen Hui! Can you please stop bothering me?”
Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Lou not only sued Mrs. Zhao and others for ‘appearance plagiarism’, but also ordered a thorough investigation to find out the inner ghost. Yuan Hong lived in fear for a week!
“I’m not looking for you, who am I looking for?”
Chen Hui threw his exhausted cigarettes on the ground, and slammed the soles of his shoes on them, “Damn, Luo Yanchuan’s talkative bastard! The young master of a rich family is so stingy.”
At the banquet that day, Luo Yanchuan said, “The assistant will give the cash later”. He never thought that bad comments about the brand would suddenly pop up on the Internet.
The promised celebration banquet ended in a hurry, and the money Chen Hui was thinking about was gone.
Because he lost his job and was idle at home, Chen Hui’s wife talked endlessly all day long. Chen Hui, who couldn’t bear it, couldn’t control it for a while, and slapped his wife twice. Now the other party is determined to divorce him!
Chen Hui’s family relationship was not smooth, and he was more and more concerned about the money that was not available there.
He repeatedly tried to contact Luo Yanchuan’s assistant, but the other party was either busy or hung up these days, and he was directly blocked by the other party this morning.
In a fit of rage, Chen Hui went to Yuan Hong.
He clicked his tongue again, “I almost couldn’t get in without the authority of the company. Fortunately, I recognized a familiar face with the security guard downstairs.”
The other party didn’t know that Chen Hui had resigned. He believed that he didn’t bring his access card, so he was taken away with a cigarette.
Yuan Hong hated Chen Hui in his heart, and asked with a straight face, “What’s the use of you coming to me?”
“Lao Yuan, since you’re doing things for Luo Yanchuan, why don’t you pay the labor fee for you?”
Obviously, Chen Hui hit his head.
Yuan Hongshen seemed to have heard some joke, and replied angrily, “Chen Hui, I advise you to find a new job if you have the time. I don’t know the situation with Master Luo, and I can’t contact him these days, but I I don’t have the spare money to give you.”
“No money? How dare you play with me?”
Chen Hui’s expression changed, warnings and threats were sent out, “Old Yuan, I advise you to think clearly, or I will break into the office now and tell everyone clearly—”
“Shi Yunnan’s design draft was given to me by you, and you asked me to secretly hand it over to Luo Yanchuan and the others because you were afraid of worrying about it!”
Chen Hui pointed to the closed security door behind him, and began to show his true face of greed, “I’ve already resigned anyway, but you’re different. Mrs. Luo hates eating shit.”
Yuan Hong’s face suddenly turned ashen, “Chen Hui! Try to scold me again? Don’t be ashamed! What kind of **** are you! You dare to threaten me?”
This design draft was not transmitted through the company’s computer, nor was Yuan Hong personally handed over to Luo Yanchuan. Even if the company wanted to investigate, there was no direct evidence to count on him.
Chen Hui slapped him immediately, “Don’t be in a hurry to become angry? The more you are not calm like this, doesn’t it mean that you are less confident in your heart?”
“Lao Yuan, how can I still not understand you old fritters? Two hundred thousand, I want two hundred thousand!”
He paused and compared a number with his hand, “Your annual salary and commission are more than that, right? Isn’t it good to spend money to protect your future?”
Yuan Hong stared at Chen Hui’s disgusting face and smiled, “Are you sure you only need this number?”
Chen Hui thought that the other party was loose, and nodded, “Of course, for the sake of being a colleague before, I specially gave it to you…”
-boom!
Before Chen Hui could finish his words, Yuan Hong punched him to the ground.
“Twenty thousand? Are you **** worth it?”
“If you have the ability, go to your colleagues and company leaders and talk about it! Let’s see who will believe you!” Yuan Hong wanted to be a scapegoat and insisted.
“I think it’s clear that you, Chen Hui, held a grudge after being dismissed by Shi Yunnan, so you stole his design draft and sold it to the other party! I’ve caught you now!”
Yuan Hong didn’t want to put the blame on Chen Hui.
Taking a step back, Luo Yanchuan promised to help him find a new, more respectable job, even if the incident caused him to resign tragically.
Does he need to be threatened by a despicable villain like Chen Hui?
Chen Hui touched the blood on the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t expect to be injured if he failed to ask for money? Instantly angry, how can this be endured!
He hugged Yuan Hong’s legs and threw him to the ground with all his strength.
Yuan Hong lost control and fell upside down, with strong pain all over his body, and by the time he reacted, he had already been pressed and punched several times by Chen Hui.
Neither of the two obeyed the other, and they scuffled into a ball in this narrow corridor, and both sides used each other’s strength.
I don’t know how long it took, and a piercing door slammed, and the light from the outside threw into the dim corridor.
The two people in the scuffle stopped at the same time, and in the next second, they were pulled away by the four security guards who poured in, and they were controlled separately.
“Why are you tying me up? Go away!” Chen Hui turned his head and shouted anxiously, only to find that one of them was the security guard who had just let him into the company.
“Security, you got the wrong person! He’s not an employee of our company, hurry up…” Yuan Hong was scared back before he could finish his words.
Shi Yunnan approached slowly and stopped outside the security gate, with Qin Jian, Luo Lingsheng’s assistant and Luo’s general secretary, beside him.
Yuan Hong suddenly felt a sense of impending crisis, and he couldn’t even care about the physical pain, “Shi, Mr. Shi, Secretary-General Qin.”
Shi Yunnan’s playful eyes swirled around the two of them, “It’s a good time for a dog to bite a dog. You fought so fiercely that I was too embarrassed to disturb me listening to the noise outside the door.”
“Mr. Shi, what do you mean?” Yuan Hong asked.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you guys just tell each other clearly?” Shi Yunan sneered and gestured to Qin Jian beside him with his eyes.
Qin Jian nodded at him and stepped forward, “Yuan Hong, Chen Hui, there is enough evidence to suspect that you have leaked the company’s internal secrets and caused losses in business investment.”
Trade secrets?
Raise the design draft to the level of trade secrets?
Yuan Hong realized the seriousness of the implication, and he almost couldn’t stand when his legs were soft, “Mr. Shi, there is a misunderstanding here! The product design drawing is not mine…”
“Bah! Yuan Hong, you shameless bastard!”
Chen Hui interrupted Yuan Hong’s defense, and shouted at Shi Yunnan dissatisfiedly, “Shi Yunnan, are you mistaken?”
“The day you joined the company, I left! I don’t know what the design draft is! I only know that you have no right to let people stand against me now! You are illegal…”
“Are you worthy to speak the law with me now?”
Shi Yunnan stepped into the corridor unhurriedly, and his smiling and playful eyes instantly became extremely sharp.
Qin Jian was the first to feel the sudden change in his aura, and secretly sighed—
When the owner of the house was present, Mr. Shi was always a “husband” in front of outsiders, aggrieved and soft, as if everyone could bully him.
In fact, as soon as the owner of the house was not present, he completely changed his attitude towards being arrogant and not easy to bully, and he was able to frighten outsiders with the majesty after anger.
“I’ll help you with popular science for free. It’s a trivial matter for you to disclose business secrets and cause losses to the company. Compensation for fines is a trivial matter. Generally, you will be sentenced to three to seven years in prison depending on the situation.”
“Guess how many years each of you will be locked up?”
As a designer, Shi Yunnan has zero tolerance for ‘design theft’.
Today, he and Qin Jian came to the company for Yuan Hong, one of the ghosts. He didn’t expect to see the sneaky Chen Hui as soon as he arrived at the downstairs of the company.
So, they did not do anything and came to catch the turtle in the urn.
Yuan Hong and Chen Hui suddenly showed panic when they heard that they were going to jail.
“I didn’t do it! Yuan Hong instructed me! I have resigned from the company! I’m not a regular employee! This matter has nothing to do with me!”
“Mr. Shi, I…”
Shi Yunnan turned around and left, not intending to listen to their explanation at all. Of course, he never planned to let them go.
Qin Jian came up and firmly stopped the two of them from retreating, “We have already called the police as soon as possible. If you have anything to say, please explain to the police slowly!”
Chen Hui and Yuan Hong stared at Shi Yunnan’s back, they were already beaten with bruises and bruises, and they were even more embarrassed at this moment.
Chen Hui blushed, wishing he could kill Yuan Hong next to him, and scold him endlessly.
Yuan Hong’s face was pale, his body was covered in hot and cold sweat, and his entire brain was dizzy.
He no longer had the energy to stop Chen Hui’s scolding, and his guts turned green with regret at this moment—
He originally had a stable and decent job, and his annual salary was enough to make his wife and children happy, and to be envied by relatives and friends.
Why did it go like this ghost?
After all, there are thousands of mistakes, all because he was deceived by Luo Yanchuan’s “big cake”. Now that he is self-destructing his future, will the other party come to the bureau to get him? Obviously not.
There is such a big disturbance in the safe passage, it is difficult for the employees within the company to know.
Under the disbelieving and contemptuous gazes of a group of people, Yuan Hong and Chen Hui were both taken away from the company by the police, which turned into a joke.
As soon as Yuan Hong left, his place was naturally vacant.
During this time, Chang Le, an intern who helped run around privately, was promoted to the position of team leader in a flash.
Not to mention the bonus commission that Lou’s will give out after the quarterly summary, the salary alone has doubled!
This incident attracted the envy and admiration of other employees of the investment department.
What is this called?
Stand up! Get the right money!
…
After Shi Yunnan dealt with the two ghosts Chen Hui and Yuan Hong, he felt very comfortable. Seeing that it was still early, he temporarily decided to follow Qin Jian to the headquarters of the Luo Group.
Exclusive elevator to the top floor.
As soon as the two got out of the elevator, a young and beautiful female secretary greeted them, “Brother Jian.”
The female secretary looked at Shi Yunnan’s unfamiliar but handsome face and asked politely, “Who is this gentleman?”
The person who can directly let Qin Jian take him to the top office must have a lot of background.
“Shi Yunnan, Mr. Shi.”
Qin Jian introduced a sentence, and did not deliberately promote the relationship between Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan, for fear that the two of them would not be used to it.
“Lina, is the owner busy?” Qin Jian asked.
Lingna replied hesitantly, “The husband and wife of the second room are here, and it’s less than ten minutes before I entered Dong Luo’s office.”
“Mr. Shi, would you please come to the reception room with me first?”
When Shi Yunnan heard the first half of the sentence, he probably guessed some reasons.
Last week, Luo’s and Lou’s Huazhongge jointly sued Zhao’s and its brand owners for design plagiarism, and the case is still in process.
However, due to the attention and criticism of online public opinion, as well as enough time to design the evidence chain, it is almost certain that Lou’s can win this infringement lawsuit.
According to the relevant regulations, there should be a considerable amount of compensation.
According to the lawyers, Zhao put the main responsibility on the brand of Yalan, and also said that it was a scam deliberately created by Xie Keyue.
Xie Keyue’s factory has been closed down by the relevant departments, and he has piled up a lot of messed up lawsuits. I am afraid that he will also alarm Mr. Shi. This time, the trouble is big.
In addition, Luo Yanchuan hid behind the shell company of ‘Yate’, and he couldn’t hide his actions that hurt Luo’s interests.
He thought that he came to Luo’s second room because he learned about it, and hurried over to cover for his worried son.
“Mr. Shi? Please follow me to the conference room?” Lingna asked again.
As soon as Shi Yunan said the word “good”, the closed office door opened.
Luo Dexing and his wife walked out of the office one after the other.
The two seemed to recognize Shi Yunnan, but because of the current situation, they bypassed Shi Yunnan and others without saying a word.
“It’s less than five minutes to go in, how come you came out so quickly?” Lingna whispered to Qin Jian.
Shi Yunnan stood where he was, staring at the second-bedroom couple as they entered the elevator and left.
Lingna glanced at Shi Yunnan, who was standing in the same place, and said friendly, “Mr. Shi, wait a moment, there is an international conference in fifteen minutes from Dong Luo, let me go in and report your visit…”
“Fifteen minutes?” Shi Yunan muttered.
He didn’t wait for the other party to finish his words, and then walked towards the office with a smile.
Seeing his ‘rash’ words and deeds, Lingna immediately wanted to go to stop him, but Qin Jian stopped her first, “Let’s go with Mr. Shi, the owner will not be angry.”
In the whole world, there is probably only Mr. Shi who can enter and leave the Patriarch’s office at will without saying hello.
…
Shi Yunan pushed open the door of the office, only to find that there was actually a small cubicle inside.
Yuan Meng and another bodyguard were guarding the door on the left, and on the right was a small glass office, which seemed to be Qin Jian’s usual work place.
Shi Yunnan took two steps forward, and the bodyguard at the door reached out his hand to stop him, “Stop!”
Shi Yunnan stopped in cooperation, but moved his gaze to the more familiar Yuan Meng, and joked, “Yuan Meng, you won’t let me in? Qin Jian let me in.”
“…”
Yuan Meng silently retracted the hand he wanted to stop in mid-air, and said solemnly to his bodyguard colleague, “You can’t stop him.”
Otherwise, Mr. Shi patted his **** and left, and the owner would definitely be angry when he found out, and it would be them who would suffer in the end.
Then he will definitely be teased by Qin Jian in private, absolutely not!
Yuan Meng was the main captain of this group of bodyguards. Seeing this, the other person had no choice but to withdraw his hand.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and politely knocked on the door of the inner office.
“Come in.” A clean monotone.
Shi Yunnan resolutely broke the door and entered.
Even at the end of September, the air-conditioning in the office is still full, the interior space is larger than expected, and the overall tone is calm and black.
Luo Lingsheng sat at the desk, bowing his head, not knowing what documents he was approving, but his eyebrows were furrowed, showing the coercion that no one would enter.
He changed into a pair of unremarkable black filament-framed glasses, but instead made his facial features even colder, and the three-piece suit he wore outlined the proportions of his body to the extreme.
For Shi Yunnan, Luo Lingsheng is a high-ranking person who can form a deadly aggression by his appearance.
Perhaps sensing the excessive gaze at the door, Luo Lingsheng raised his eyes with displeased resistance, “Who made you…”
If it could be regarded as a lesson, he stopped after only saying four words.
Luo Lingsheng’s brows subconsciously loosened, staring at the person who suddenly appeared at the door of the office, his cold and sharp temperament suddenly eased.
“Busy? I’m not here at the right time?”
Shi Yunnan said apologetic words, but walked to the table without any hesitation.
Luo Lingsheng closed the document that he had to use for the late meeting, but he hadn’t read it yet, and replied without changing his face, “I’m not busy.”
Shi Yunnan stopped at the table, “What did the Luo Dexing couple come to you for? Are you defending Luo Yanchuan?”
“They didn’t mention Luo Yanchuan in the whole process, they only said that they wanted to retire when they were older, and they wanted to transfer back 5% of the shares they had to me.”
Luo Lingsheng’s expression was a little playful when he talked about it, and it was mixed with a trace of irrelevant contempt.
Shi Yunnan reacted, “They are using this bargaining chip to let you spare Luo Yanchuan this time? What do you think?”
“Do you know how much Luo’s five percent stake is worth?”
Luo Lingsheng remembered the dark ‘fight’ that year, and his pupils were vaguely hostile.
Back then, Dafang and Sanfang were able to compete for even 1% of the shares, and they secretly didn’t know how many conspiracies they had to make.
Only the second-bedroom couple Mingzhe kept their heads in front of the tortoise, and now they are willing to take out nearly half of the shares in their hands at one time in order to protect Luo Yanchuan.
I really don’t know whether to say that the couple love their son, or they are too afraid of Luo Lingsheng’s cruel methods.
“Compared to Luo Yanchuan’s loss in the cosmetics industry, this share is a piece of fat.”
Originally, these shares should have been left to Luo Yanchuan, the only son, by the second-family couple, but now they have been unconditionally transferred to Luo Lingsheng.
If Luo Yanchuan knew about this, he would have been so angry that he vomited blood. Not only that, he had to be more prepared than ever for Luo Lingsheng’s oppression.
The spiritual lesson is the most tormenting.
Luo Lingsheng was like a hunter who had already taken control of the situation, letting the prey play nonsense within his controllable range.
He is always standing high, and when his prey thinks it is safe to try to cross the line, he will ruthlessly kill them in his own territory.
Shi Yunnan realized that Luo Lingsheng had his own plans, and he didn’t say anything against it for the time being – after all, compared to the plot development in the original work, today’s Luo Lingsheng had already taken precautions.
Luo Lingsheng looked at him and changed the subject, “What are you doing here?”
“Can’t I just come to see you?”
Shi Yunnan went around most of the long table, stopped and bowed for Luo Lingsheng as always, meaning, “If I didn’t come here, I wouldn’t know that Mr. Luo’s secretary-general is so beautiful? She also speaks softly and softly, especially likable.”
“Oh? You think so?”
Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses, his lips curved slightly, “I forgot to tell you…”
“Whether it’s Miss Lou or a female secretary, Second Young Master Shi doesn’t have to use them to test me. I’m not interested in women.”
Are you confessing your sexuality?
Shi Yunnan obviously didn’t expect to get this answer by accident, after Wei Wei reacted for two seconds, he happily responded—
“It’s a coincidence, so am I.”
Shi Yunnan glanced at the watch on Luo Lingsheng’s wrist, and his smile became more obvious, “Luo Lingsheng, I’m here to report to you.”
The female secretary said that Luo Lingsheng would have an international conference fifteen minutes later, and Shi Yunnan was not a clingy person who would disturb other people’s work, so she simply mentioned the purpose here.
Luo Lingsheng asked, “Report?”
“The nightclub I invested in and cooperated with Fu Ziyu has been in trial operation for almost a month. I was too busy a while ago and couldn’t find a suitable time to go.”
“Tonight I want to go see it on the spot. I will definitely be able to drink, but I will never mess around.”
Shi Yunnan leaned a little closer, with a smiling tone that was affectionate and scratching.
“Husband, will you let me go?”
“…”
Luo Lingsheng’s breath was tight, but Shi Yunnan actually remembered his last confession promise.
Seeing that he didn’t finish speaking, Shi Yunnan added, “Or do you want to accompany me? I’d be happy for you to supervise it yourself.”
Luo Lingsheng looked at the thin lips that were close at hand, and when he regained his breathing rhythm, he moved a little closer without a trace, and his breath became entangled again.
“So nice?”
Three simple words, the low voice in the throat, there is an indescribable **** and…
desire.
In the end, Shi Yunnan was the first to lose. He felt his heartbeat start to accelerate, and he quickly moved a little further away, but his mouth began to lose his tone.
“Of course, there are not many obedient partners like me in the world. Mr. Luo has to be nice to me, and others won’t be envious.”
Luo Lingsheng let out a short chuckle without any objection, “Go ahead, I’ll be busy in a while.”
The implication is that he definitely does not intend to accompany Shi Yunnan to the nightclub.
Shi Yunnan got the expected answer, and while he calmed his heartbeat secretly, he also felt an indescribable sense of loss. Before he could understand this inexplicable emotion, he heard Luo Lingsheng add:
“Give me the address of the nightclub, and I’ll pick you up later when I finish my work.”
