Chapter 203: Touching the Melons with the Vine
After more than ten hours of high-altitude flight, Li Mingye arrived in country F and met with Melina as quickly as possible.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Mingye's eyebrows tightened, and the jet lag made his face a little tired.
"Look at this!" Melina pulled out a garment.
Just at a glance, Li Mingye affirmed that this was her series. However, what does Melina want to do when she takes this out at this time?
"You see it clearly." Melina pulled out an identical garment from another bag.
Li Mingye looked at it very carefully, the design was exactly the same, but the fabric was different, and the price would definitely be much cheaper.
"When you first found me, I valued Tiandu and Designer Zhang's talent. I thought that everything would go very smoothly, but I didn't expect it to be so short, so to speak, her collection has just been launched, and these counterfeit clothes are already all over the streets! ”
Li Mingye's thin lips were pursed, and he had been thinking about everything carefully.
Her series had just been launched, and these counterfeits were on the market with them, and he really couldn't think of any other reason except for the design drawings leaked out in advance.
"I think it's time for us to end this collaboration." Melina said with regret.
Because of this incident, she was also reprimanded by the headquarters, and now she can sit down and talk to Li Mingye about this matter, she has done her best.
Li Mingye did not cheat, nor did he keep it.
If this matter must be investigated, then Tiandu has the biggest problem.
After all, the leakage of the blueprint is a taboo for a business.
"Melina, I'm sorry for the trouble and trouble caused to you, the cooperation can be terminated, but, please help, I hope to investigate this matter clearly."
Melina was stunned, she never thought that Li Mingye would agree to terminate the cooperation so happily.
"Mr. Li, I really helped you keep it, but the attitude of the headquarters is very resolute!" Melina shrugged.
"This is our problem." Li Mingye clutched the two clothes.
"So, how do you want me to help you?" Melina asked.
Li Mingye's eyes were as deep as ink, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted into a "Sichuan".
He hadn't fully figured out how to investigate this matter.
The people around Zhang Duo, including those who came into contact with the drawings, were suspicious.
"Melina, you go back first, I'll contact you again when I have a way!"
Melina bowed, "This cup of coffee, I'll please." ”
Li Mingye didn't respond, but his brain was running at high speed.
The ringing of his cell phone pulled him out of his chaotic thoughts, and he looked at it busily, and answered it with some apologies.
"Did you get off the plane?" Chu Yi asked.
Li Mingye said lightly, "I'm in a hurry to see Melina, so ......"
"I've seen the news online."
Li Mingye was stunned, "What news?" ”
"Regarding the news that Tiandu's series of design drawings are likely to have been leaked before the launch, some people boldly predict that this time, Tiandu will lose a lot."
After Chu Yi saw this news, he was always uneasy. I called Li Mingye's phone again and again, but all of them were turned off. Fortunately, this time, it was finally opened.
"It feels like the sky has fallen into a huge whirlpool."
Chu Yi also felt that everything was such a coincidence, as if what Tiandu did on the front foot, someone would follow up on the back foot immediately.
Exactly the same design, inexpensive fabric......
When consumers buy, they do not first care whether the fabric is the same, but compare the price.
Therefore, if Tiandu wants to dispose of such a large number of clothes, there is no other way than to reduce the price.
"Don't worry, I can fix it!" Li Mingye glanced at the time and decided to go to the shopping mall in country F first.
After Chu Yi learned about her series, she had already contacted the TV station and asked to postpone the recording of the beauty pageant, but the producer believes that this matter is now hot, and advertising investors also want to see immediate results, so it should be struck while the iron is hot.
Chu Yi couldn't get out, but his heart was all tied to Li Mingye's body.
"Could it be Meng Shuyan?"
In the last USB flash drive incident, Chu Yi felt that as Zhang Duo's design assistant, Meng Shuyan's suspicion was the greatest.
"Probably not."
If it is Meng Shuyan, then all this is related to Tang Yiyun.
According to Tang Yiyun's style of acting, he should not have the ability to stretch his hand so long.
"Where are you now?" Chu Yi asked.
"I'm going to go around the mall in a while and see if I can get anything from the retailers."
"Zhang Duo went with you, right? You can take him with you. ”
Li Mingye was noncommittal.
"I'm going to record a beauty pageant here, don't worry too much. After the recording, I saw if I could coordinate with the producers, even if it was to push the final back by three days. ”
Li Mingye already knew that Chu Yi wanted to fly to country F to help him, and a huge warm current quickly surged in his heart, and it flowed quickly towards the limbs and hundreds of remains.
"Chu Yi, you can stay in Tongcheng with peace of mind, I can solve it."
Although he doesn't understand clothing, he understands shopping malls.
After taking over Tiandu, what winds and waves have you not seen?
When the producer urged Chu Yi, Chu Yi reluctantly ended the call.
Li Mingye put the two clothes back in the bag, and went directly to several relatively large shopping malls in country F.
In the mall, there are few customers in all her collections.
Li Mingye was walking on the street and saw a woman wearing her series of clothes, so he hurriedly stepped forward and politely asked her where she bought this dress.
"I tell you, if you buy this kind of clothes, you must not go to this kind of shopping mall, it will be very expensive! Go to the wholesale clothing market, where you can also bargain. ”
After Li Mingye asked the woman where the nearest clothing wholesale market was, he stopped the rental and rushed over.
Her series is really popular, and many people are rushing to buy it.
Looking at such a picture, the gloomy color in Li Mingye's eyes became more and more intense.
It wasn't until the rush was over that he stepped forward and chatted with the vendors.
"Wait a minute, I'll be there soon." The vendor did not avoid suspicion and called out a number and dialed it.
Li Mingye has always had an excellent memory, and secretly kept that number in his heart.
After quietly leaving, he went to a public phone booth and dialed the number.
"Hey, who's that?" The other party was obviously very anxious, and his tone was a little rushed.
Li Mingye wrinkled his eyebrows, "I want to ask, the ...... of her series of clothing"
"The factory is already in a hurry, and it should be able to ship this afternoon!"
Listening to this reply, Li Mingye's hand holding the microphone continued to tighten, and the cold glow in his eyes became more and more intense.
It should have been that they were in short supply every day, but they didn't want to, and cheapened these bed bugs.
"Wait a minute, I want to meet you in person, I want to buy in large quantities!"
Hearing this, the other party hesitated for a moment, "How much do you want to buy?" ”
"It's a lot anyway."
The other party thought for a moment, "This is your phone?" ”
Li Mingye bowed, "My hotel number." ”
"Then how do I contact you in case you get out?"
"I'm here for her series this time, how can I go out? Just make this call. ”
The other party said "um" and ended the call.
The lengthy filming finally ended, Chu Yi couldn't get tired, and hurriedly dialed Li Mingye's phone.
"Did you find anything?"
"A supplier has been contacted, and they have promised to meet, but it is unclear whether the culprit can be found along this line."
Chu Yi was worried, "I just told the producer that I wanted to postpone the filming by three days, and they agreed, I have already booked a ticket, and I will fly to country F immediately." ”
Hearing this, Li Mingye was excited and worried, "Chu Yi ......"
Listening to this choked voice, Chu Yi curled his lips, "Don't be like this, we are husband and wife!" ”
Li Mingye said "um".
After Chu Yi hurriedly returned to the old house, he simply cleaned up and went directly to the airport.
And Li Mingye also received a call from the supplier, and they made an appointment to meet at a café near the hotel to discuss the specific details.
When Li Mingye left the room, Zhang Duo was also about to go out, and when he saw Li Mingye enter the elevator, he also followed closely.
Seeing that Li Mingye had met a supplier, Zhang Duo hurriedly called Qi Qi.
"Senior brother, did you miss me?" Qi Qi said with a smile.
"Qi Qi, you pay attention, don't let Li Mingye notice, he seems to be ready to touch the melon!"
Hearing this, Qi Qi was not the slightest apprehensive, but also let out a chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Duo's peach blossom eyes showed a hint of displeasure.
"I'm a very cautious person, it's absolutely impossible for him to find me, don't worry!" After reassuring him, Qi Qi cut off the call.
Zhang Duo stared at Li Mingye for a while, and was about to leave, but after thinking about it for a moment, he pretended to be a coincidence and came to their table.
"Mr. Li, do you see a friend?"
A sentence always makes the other party wary.
In the end, it was the old fritter who had been in the clothing industry for many years, and he guessed Li Mingye's true identity at once, and left in a hurry after finding a random excuse.
Zhang Duo's sudden appearance made Li Mingye very unhappy, but when she encountered such a thing in the series, Zhang Duo also suffered a huge loss.
"Mr. Li, your friend ......"
"It's not a friend, it's just a local supplier." While Li Mingye said it casually, he kept firmly locking Zhang Duo's eyes.
The hateful look in his eyes when he left his office is still deeply etched in his mind.
"Supplier?" Zhang Duo's eyes deepened, "So, have you already found out something?" ”
Li Mingye quietly picked up the coffee cup, "It's not clear yet, but don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation in this matter." ”
