Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Black Cauldron
Smack——!
The thick folder was slammed in front of Ye Xinyuan, and in the office of the head of the design department, Qiu Manning raised his chin slightly, and his eyes were filled with endless contempt and hidden pleasure.
"In vain I believe that, Mr. Smith recommended you as much as he could, and you did such a scandalous thing! Do you know how much reputational damage plagiarism can cause to a company? I don't want to see you again, please get out of YS immediately, and within three days, hand over your resignation letter to my desk, otherwise the last thing waiting for you will be expulsion, don't blame me for being merciless when the time comes! ”
Ye Xinyuan picked up the folder on the ground, all of which were design drafts that she had worked so hard to draw, she didn't understand how things could have turned out like this, these were obviously her originals, why similar elements would appear in another colleague's design.
Now that person's design has won a national award, but her design has been pursued for plagiarism by Qiu Manning.
"Linda, please believe me, these design drafts are indeed my own original, can I meet Xiao Li and ...... with her?"
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qiu Manning.
"You really should meet Xiao Li and apologize to her. Xiao Li has already contacted me privately, saying that if you are a colleague, I will not pursue your legal responsibility, but I can no longer be a colleague with you, and I also hope that you will leave as soon as possible. ”
Ye Xinyuan was a little dazed in her heart, but then there was a monstrous anger, she finally knows what a thief calls a thief to catch a thief, why is the real plagiarist pretending to be innocent there? !
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Okay, then I'll see Xiao Li." ”
Soon, Xiao Li came to the office.
Outside the office, almost all of them have stayed here to watch the excitement for countless colleagues, but Qiu Manning, who was very strict in the past, has no intention of driving people away.
Ye Xinyuan took a deep breath and tried to make herself look less irritable, "Xiao Li, these design drafts are obviously my original, why did they appear on your award-winning design?" Can you help explain the design philosophy of these designs? ”
Designs can be plagiarized, but design concepts cannot, and if it's not your own original design, then there are some places that can't justify yourself.
However, Ye Xinyuan didn't expect that the other party didn't give her a chance to debunk it at all.
Xiao Li pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking a little timid, as if he had been bullied.
"I don't need to tell you about the design concept, because you have copied my design, and I have more strong evidence here."
As she spoke, she took out a set of photos from the folder she had just held in her hand, all of which were about the patterns of the design draft.
"You can take these photos for identification, the shooting date is half a month before my competition, all the design drafts, including the draft, should be photographed, I think Assistant Ye should know this, if you insist that you are innocent, then it is better to take out the photos together, and then send them for identification."
Ye Xinyuan: "......"
Her mind was a little blank, and she couldn't get a picture because no one had ever told her about it.
The manuscripts she had in her hands couldn't tell everyone when they were really being created.
Seeing Ye Xinyuan frozen there, the colleagues watching the excitement outside the door were talking for a while, as if the judge had finally set the trial result for the prisoner-
"I knew what kind of design she could make with a little layman's assistant? In the end, it's not like trying to do something indiscriminate! What a shame for our company! ”
"That's right, if you can't design it, you can touch porcelain, and you don't look in the mirror to see if you have the ability to eat the bowl of rice of 'jewelry design'!"
"What do you know, there are people above people, this is all right, I have to let Xiao Li talk about the design concept, why not only copy the drawing, but also copy the concept?"
"Tian is shameless, I have never seen such a shameless woman."
The surrounding slander was like a lake gushing from all directions, and wave after wave did not pass over Ye Xinyuan's head, making her like a drowning person, unable to go ashore again.
Ye Xinyuan didn't know when she walked out of the design department, even if she was out of the design department, she could notice the strange eyes of the colleagues around her and the whispering sounds.
She couldn't help but grasp the folder in her hand, and her powerful knuckles turned white.
She can't just admit defeat so easily, leave here with stigma, and finally let those villains run rampant.
She turned and walked towards the president's office.
Chu Yunchen looked at Ye Xinyuan standing in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "I believe that you are not plagiarizing, because I believe in my sister's vision, but you always have to come up with evidence to prove this matter, before that, I will not say a word, whether it is for you to clarify, or to expel you, so as not to smear you with a bigger and unnecessary stain." ”
Ye Xinyuan was silent, knowing that this was the most helpful thing Chu Yunchen could do for herself.
She bowed slightly, "Thank you, I'll hurry up and collect evidence." With that, she turned and left.
*
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yezi, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, there are such shameless people in the company."
In the café below the YS office building, Chu Yunshan held Ye Xinyuan's hand and said apologetically.
Ye Xinyuan's face was a little ugly, but she barely regained her composure at this moment.
She shook her head, "How can I blame you for this, I can only say that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds." ”
Chu Yunshan pursed her lips, "I'm really sorry." ”
Ye Xinyuan shook her hand back, "You don't have to feel sorry, it's true that I didn't think things through myself, right now, the most important thing is to find evidence to clarify my stigma, otherwise I will never be able to set foot in this industry again." ”
Chu Yunshan lowered her eyes, knowing that what Ye Xinyuan said was indeed the truth.
"Have you ever suspected anyone? Who was the first person in the company to come into contact with your design draft? ”
Ye Xinyuan wrinkled her eyebrows: "My design drafts are all done at home, and the range of people I can see in the company can be reduced to very small, one is Linda, that is, my top boss, and the other is not a person in the company, he is a collaborator of YS, you know, Mr. Smith." ”
When it comes to this, things are almost clear at a glance.
Alex had absolutely no reason to do so.
Chu Yunshan seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Is that Linda's Chinese name Qiu Manning?" ”
Ye Xinyuan was stunned, "It seems to be." ”
It's no wonder that the two of them are not clear about this matter, Chu Yunshan's subordinates are in charge of stores and external sales, and almost all of the company's affairs are handled by Chu Yunchen, and the two sisters and brothers trust each other extremely much, and generally do not ask who the other party will recruit if there is no major matter.
And Ye Xinyuan has an impression of the name "Qiu Manning", thanks to Chu Yunchen's "Manning" on the first day he went.
Chu Yunshan said: "This Qiu Manning...... When I was in college, I seemed to have chased Yun Chen......"
Ye Xinyuan's face was full of confusion, "Is there any relationship between the two?" ”
Chu Yunshan stretched out an index finger, her expression was a little tangled, as if the next words were difficult to speak, "I thought of a possibility." ”
Ye Xinyuan: "? ”
Chu Yunshan closed her eyes and her heart was crossed: "You say, could this matter be done by Qiu Manning?" ”
Having said that, the two of them have not been able to play together for so many years for no reason, and the brain circuits are made up of many places that can be connected.
The corners of Ye Xinyuan's mouth twitched, "What you guess may be because Linda thinks that Chu Yunchen and I have something, and then targets me again and again, and finally comes up with such a vicious trick to kick me out of the company......
The two glanced at each other, and their faces were the same "......".
Ye Xinyuan held her forehead, "No, no, there won't really be someone so weird, right?" It's just a shadowless thing, okay?! "If it's really because of this, then wouldn't she be more wronged than Dou E?!
In fact, Ye Xinyuan is indeed about to be side by side with Dou E.
Chu Yunshan also wanted to cry without tears, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yezi, I didn't think about it thoughtfully, let you join the company after the recruitment week has passed, I should have told you earlier." ”
Ye Xinyuan couldn't help pinching the bridge of her nose, her movements and expression were almost exactly the same as those of Mr. Gu when she was sad, "I really can't blame you for this, I can only blame Linda's brain circuit for being too weird, how can I be narrow-minded and selfish and narrow-minded to this point?" ”
Chu Yunshan couldn't help but tugging at her curls, "Then if our conjecture is true, it is only natural that Designer Li can get your manuscript, it is obviously Qiu Manning who gave it to her!" No wonder I didn't let you say a word in the office at the time! The preparation is so sufficient, it is clear that the heart is weak, and I am afraid that I will expose my stuffing!! ”
The more Chu Yunshan spoke, the more angry she became, and finally couldn't help but slap the table.
Ye Xinyuan hurriedly pressed her hand, "In the public field, you should pay attention, pay attention." ”
Chu Yunshan was like a deflated ball, slumped on the chair all of a sudden, "They even have the photos ready, for the sake of now, you really have to come up with evidence earlier than them." Otherwise, no one can prove it......"
Of course Ye Xinyuan also knew, but these two people were so thoughtful that they didn't leave any clues at all.
"After all, I still don't know how to do it......"
She sighed.
