Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 157 Lin Zhuxi: "The designer's name is Wen Yan"; Wen Li: "Don't bot

In the minimalist business-style office in black, white and gray, the press conference was replaying on the LCD screen, but Lin Zhuxi had no time to watch it.

On the computer screen in front of her were multiple comparison pictures of two sets of jewelry. One set of jewelry was just launched by Jin Bolin at the press conference, while the other set was a design by Wen Li that had not yet been released.

What’s strange is that these two sets of jewelry are surprisingly similar in style and details. If you don’t know, you might think they are from the same series.

However, compared with Wen Li's works, the works of designer Lu lack a sense of harmony, so that the style is a bit unclear and lacks soul.

In short, it's just a little off.

"They really look alike." The assistant also thought they looked alike.

Wen Li, who was gaining points in the club, received a call from Lin Zhuxi.

After hearing Lin Zhuxi's words, she took off the headphones hanging around her neck and left the training room.

Walking to the tea room, I heard Lin Zhuxi say, "I've sent you a comparison picture of the two sets of jewelry. Take a look."

Wen Li, who was pouring water, responded, took the water and sat down on the single sofa, then switched the screen to check his mailbox.

The moment the picture was loaded, Wen Li paused while drinking water. Without looking at the two comparison pictures, he confirmed it with just one glance.

Lin Zhuxi asked with concern: "How is it?"

Wen Li: "Yes."

As expected, even she and her assistant noticed it, so how could Wen Li not notice it? Lin Zhuxi frowned slightly and asked her, "Did you have a common inspiration? Or was it leaked by an internal employee?"

Wen Li assured her, "It wasn't a coincidence."

Lin Zhuxi's expression was slightly serious. "That's not even a guess. You became famous for your creativity. Who else could have the same inspiration as you? Even if we did, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that it just happened to be released this time, just one step ahead of us."

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away. I want to see who is betraying me!" Lin Zhuxi's face was sullen, with frost in his eyes.

Wen Lilai said, "It's not necessarily an insider leak."

Lin Zhuxi was slightly startled: "Hmm?"

She quickly realized what was happening, but asked uncertainly, "Could it have been leaked from you?"

Wen Li didn't say anything. After quickly going through the detailed information of the jewelry, his eyes finally fell on the designer's name.

Question: "I've never heard of this designer. Is she new? Do you have any detailed information about her?"

Lin Zhuxi: "She is indeed a newcomer. Coincidentally, she is also Chinese, a designer at Lu Corporation. Her Chinese name is Wen Yan. I asked someone to sort out her previous works, you can take a look..."

Wen Li said firmly: "Don't bother looking at it, she plagiarized."

Lin Zhuxi was surprised: "Do you know this designer?"

Wen Li took a sip of water slowly: "More than just knowing each other."

She stood up: "Wait for me."

Lin Zhuxi: "She has the same last name as you, Wen. You two are not related and she took advantage of the situation to steal the design, right?"

Wen Li returned to the training room, said something to Yu Jin and the others, took the car keys and left.

Lin Zhuxi: "Who were you talking to just now? Xiaobai?"

Wen Li: "No. Jiang Yingbai's idiotic voice is so recognizable, can't you tell it apart?"

Lin Zhuxi: "Xiaobai's voice seems to be more steady, and the one just now sounded more lively, so he must be a little boy." After a pause, he added: "Xiaobai is still a little boy."

Lu Ziyin spoke like a stunted Wen Li, who agreed.

Jiang Yingbai spoke calmly? She absolutely couldn't agree with that.

Wen Li said venomously, "Although Jiang Yingbai is a technical staff member of the company, as a superior, you can't blindly praise him, right?"

Lin Zhuxi looked innocent and recalled: "I think he is really calm and steady in his words and deeds, far beyond his peers."

"Did he put eye drops on you?"

"Really?"

"I'll show you his true face when I get a chance. Believe it or not, just seeing the harassing messages he sent me would make you so sick you'd lose your appetite."

"Huh? So exaggerated? Xiaobai won't like you, right?" Lin Zhuxi's beautiful eyes widened, with an expression of having eaten a melon.

"Don't tell nonsense at night. It's creepy."

Lin Zhuxi laughed out loud, then started to complain: "We can still chat at this time, otherwise we can have fun together~"

Wen Li looked calm and composed: "It's no big deal~"

He drove back to the Wen family, found a few electronic drafts from his computer, sorted out the draft of one of the jewelry sets and sent it to Lin Zhuxi.

"This is my first draft of the design. This is probably the one Wen Yan copied. The one you have is the one I refined."

Lin Zhuxi compared Wen Yan's jewelry with the first draft of the design sent by Wen Li, and they were more similar.

"It's bad enough that they stole my design and changed it into this awful shape, but they even gave it a vulgar name like 'Rhythm of Rose'." Wen Li said with disdain.

Lin Zhuxi comforted her: "Even if you change into this ghost look, Jin Bolin still regards you as a treasure. This is enough to show your strength, darling."

Wen Li: "What are you going to do now?"

Lin Zhuxi: "I thought Jin Bolin was going to give us a fight this time, but I didn't expect she was actually plagiarizing us."

Lin Zhuxi looked at the two versions of the design and fell into deep thought.

At last she sighed slightly.

"This battle is not going to be easy. If it was just Jin Bolin, I could fight them to the death and then take the opportunity to severely injure him. But Jin Bolin is collaborating with Lu Corporation this time, and this designer also belongs to Lu Corporation. This is a big problem. I'm afraid..."

"Even though your scrapped manuscripts have dates as evidence, they can still claim they're forgeries. We don't have any more evidence."

"Jin Bolin has already held a press conference. It would be extremely difficult to get them to retract the arrows they shot out and use them to harm me. Besides, there's the Lu family behind this. I've heard about their business practices..."

Lin Zhuxi tapped the table with his fingertips: "I'm afraid that if we're not careful, we, the victims, will be the ones to suffer."

"If I offend the all-powerful Lu family, I will become the target of public criticism from the entire business community."

"I can probably foresee the outcome—Lucy will be forced to apologize and give up the jewelry you designed, replacing it with something else. Then you'll have to watch Jin Bolin use Wen Yan's plagiarized copy to surpass our original creation."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel frustrated and angry!"

Lin Zhuxi: "This designer is the key. Why don't we start with her? Don't you know her?"

Wen Li: "That's unnecessary. If she dares to do that, she won't admit it. As for the Lu family..."

Wen Li thought about it.

She did not want to be involved in any conflict of interest with the Lu Group as a designer. Moreover, this matter concerned the reputation of the Lu Group. It was hard to say whether the profiteer Lu Xixiao would give her such a big favor.

Even if he was willing, it would be difficult for her to repay the favor.

Wen Li: "Let's go through the normal procedures. We'll do the maintenance if necessary and file a lawsuit if necessary. If the problem can't be solved, I'll find another way."

Lin Zhuxi said firmly, "She plagiarized your work. No matter what, I will seek justice for you, even if it means going against the Lu Group."

Wen Li was silent for two seconds, then hesitantly spoke, "Chairman Lu...actually, perhaps, perhaps, he would be a reasonable person?"

Wen Li said this without any confidence.

She has not yet experienced Lu Xixiao's business methods, and she really doesn't understand how big the gap is between Lu Xixiao's work and life.

Lin Zhuxi: “…”

"Actually? Maybe? Probably? Humph, dear, how come you also have moments when you lose your mind and talk nonsense?

Wen Li: “…”

Lin Zhuxi: "Not to mention the wolf Lu, all the dogs I've dealt with have bitten people."

Wen Li muttered, "It seems he is really ruthless at work."
