Chapter 46
Millions of designers are suspected of plagiarism, and this matter continues to rise in popularity on the Internet. Moguan Cup issued an official statement, saying that it would be strictly investigated to the end and give an explanation to the public.
Xu Qing received a call and went to the Chunyuan Porcelain Association to see Zhu Rong, and just sat down, the door was pushed open again, and a tall and fashionably dressed woman walked in.
"Cheng Yubai really didn't get in, I went to him in person, and he actually set up a score for me, and it took half an hour to come out to see me. 03 years to catch up with SARS, the national exhibition was pushed back for five years, 08 years to catch up with the Olympics, the TV media all went to broadcast the Olympic athletes, the national exhibition was unattended, 18 years of media problems, the national exhibition was postponed again, and it happened to run into the new crown epidemic, think about the national exhibition is really a disaster, and finally through layers of meetings, it was decided to hold a big one this year. For more than ten years, there are more than 200 guests at home and abroad for such an important national exhibition. All walks of life do their best to support the national exhibition, is it my personal honor? As a result, I asked him to borrow a chicken bowl cup for exhibition, and he told me that the chicken bowl cup was going to be auctioned in Hong Kong, and the time collided and could not be coordinated. β
The woman was so angry that she crossed her hands on her waist, "Is he Cheng Yubai Chinese?" Are you from Jingdezhen? Is there still a sense of national pride? Jingdezhen only held a national exhibition for more than ten years, how many people at home and abroad came to visit, the fourth hall of the Yuan Xi Shi Shi is also there, when the time comes, several representatives of the organizing committee will come, such a good opportunity to promote local ceramics, he actually wants to send the chicken bowl cup to the auction...... Did he fall into the eye of money? β
After speaking, she seemed to have just seen Xu Qing, and her voice was stunned.
Zhu Rong also couldn't help her cannon-like personality, and introduced Xu Qing: "This is the manager of the Propaganda Department, the ambassador of Jingdezhen ceramic culture, and the chief planner of the National Exhibition, Gao Wen." β
Gao Wen nodded at her, and said to Zhu Rong, "This one doesn't need to be introduced, I know, Xu Qing, right?" I've seen your question to Cheng Yubai on "The Great Power and Heavy Weapon", it's very good, it's a fight for our woman's face. β
She raised her hand to pick up Zhu Rong's teacup, took a sip regardless of it, and finally disliked the tea, blaming him for not reminding her first. Zhu Rong patted her hands and scolded her for being frizzy.
Xu Qing watched the two go back and forth, and probably guessed their relationship.
Gao Wen said: "This national exhibition is of great significance, and nothing can be said to be shameful. If the chicken bowl cup can't be exhibited, I will squat at the door every day and scold him for being greedy for money and lustful, and wish him a lifetime of loneliness! β
"Okay, okay, you get rid of your anger first." Zhu Rong walked up to her and sat down, thought for a while and said, "Based on my understanding of him, saying that it is difficult to adjust when time collides is mostly an excuse, did he mention anything else?" β
Gao Wen remembered as soon as she was reminded: "He said that he wanted to give a speech at the opening ceremony of this national exhibition, but I didn't agree." He shouldn't be thinking about ......?"
Zhu Rong smiled and said nothing, Gao Wen understood, and scolded again: "Dare to love me and scold him for being greedy for money and lustful and beautifying him, he is simply inhuman and lacks morality!" He actually wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the national exhibition and give a speech on reform at the opening ceremony, is he crazy? β
Zhu Rong said: "There is one more thing to call you over today. Cheng Yubai may have crossed the line in order to promote the reform of Baicai. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Gao Wen is a ceramic ambassador who is very influential in the local area, and part of her role is responsible for overseeing the character of the company and the quality of ceramics, including its handicraftsmen, original designers and so on. In the early years, she was corrupt and relied on transporting master porcelain to complete the exchange of interests, so she severely cracked down on a group of people, and Cheng Yubai was also among the key review targets.
I just don't know if his hands are too clean, or if he is too clever, and he hasn't been able to catch the handle.
Zhu Rong took out a document bag from the table and handed it to Gao Wen, Gao Wen didn't pay attention, the file bag opened, and the photos inside fell one after another, scattered on the coffee table.
Xu Qing saw the plaque of "Mingquan Tea House" at a glance, and there was a photo in which Cheng Yubai met Yuan Xi at the door of the tea house, and the two talked shoulder to shoulder, with an intimate posture.
There are also some photos in the interior of the tea house, including Wu Yi, and the shooting angle is extremely tricky, which seems to be happy for the guests and hosts.
She was the only one in it.
Her heart sank and she looked at Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong didn't look at her, and Gu Zi said to Gao Wen: "The anonymous report I received this morning. Baicai's third discussion, Yuan Xishi said neutral, no vote, and then he accidentally broke a piece of porcelain on display at the Porcelain Expo, Cheng Yubai went to the police station in the middle of the night to bail him out, and then he appeared in Mingquan Tea House, and also appeared on the second episode of "Great Power Heavy Weapon", Wu Yi has also been moving around frequently in the school these days, and it seems to be promoting the cooperation between Sishitang and universities. β
"So you suspect that they reached a transfer of interests over the votes?"
"That's what the report says, but just a few photos may not constitute actual evidence."
"What does he think of reform? Think it's a game? it! Gao Wen threw it away, and the photos were scattered and scattered, and there was a photo of Cheng Yubai and Yuan Xishi talking under the tree outside the police station, which fell at Xu Qing's feet.
Xu Qing picked it up.
It can be seen that the photo was taken at night, the light and shadow are very dark, and the sky is a low-hanging black blue, like before a rainstorm. Cheng Yubai was a head taller than Yuan Xishi, and in order to accommodate the other party, he propped himself on the tree with one hand, bowed his head slightly, and looked at Yuan Xishi's eyes with a thick ball.
She thought of the situation when she asked Yu Wan to inquire about Yuan Xi that day, and the news she got was that he was released on bail, but she didn't expect that the person who bailed him out was Cheng Yubai.
She put the picture back on the coffee table.
Gao Wen said: "This matter must not be left just like that, can you find the information of the whistleblower?" β
"It's a little difficult, it's sent from the courier point, I've already called and asked, and the other party said that there are too many people coming in and out a day, and there is no way to investigate."
"And what are you going to do?"
Zhu Rong didn't speak, his eyes fell on Xu Qing. This was the first time Zhu Rong had seen her since she had entered the door for so long. His eyes are gentle, his posture is leisurely, and if he is not careful, he will think that he is just a glimpse, but is this really the case?
After a long opening statement, isn't this the moment that waits for you?
Xu Qing said: "I was also at Mingquan Tea House that day. β
Gao Wen was half surprised and half delighted: "Really? That's great, you can be a witness! Did they make any agreement about the ballots? In addition to "The Heavy Weapon of the Great Power", what benefits did Cheng Yubai promise to give Yuan Xishi? β
Xu Qing licked her lower lip and lowered her gaze, still staring at the photo in front of the police station.
"Cheng Yubai does intend to bribe Yuan Xishi through university cooperation, but ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Rong interrupted her: "There is one more thing, I think you have to know." Cheng Yubai submitted a new material in the past two days, intending to unite major associations to vigorously rectify the bad atmosphere in the circle, such as plagiarism, imitation, borrowing and substitution, etc., practitioners with the above stains will be included in the list of dishonest people for key investigation. In the future, the delivery of brands, designers and studios may have an impact. β
Zhu Rong lowered his head and drank tea, unhurried, "I listened to what he meant, I should not want to cause trouble, after all, this kind of thing is not good, and it is easy to get into trouble if it is stained." β
Gao Wen frowned when she heard this: "Things in the cultural circle, how can you say it clearly with one mouth, remember that this kind of thing is in vain, and a boatload of people is killed with a rod." β
Of course, she also understood, Zhu Rong was beating Xu Qing.
She doesn't know whether Cheng Yubai has the intention of banning "plagiarism" practitioners, but Zhu Rong's meaning is very clear, if Xu Qing does not cooperate, I am afraid that he will be "cleaned".
Although Gao Wen doesn't like Cheng Yubai's way of doing things, she also doesn't like people to use her as a prestige.
"Chunyuan Porcelain Association is a pioneer in the industry, especially to lead by example, fair and just, not to kill a good person by mistake, nor to wronged a bad person." She got up to leave, "I'll take these photos first, and I'll find someone to follow up." If they really have any improper benefits......"
She looked at Xu Qing and took out a business card, "After careful consideration, call me." β
Xu Qing nodded and watched Gao Wen go out.
When the sound of high heels was far away, Zhu Rong got up and closed the door, and only the two of them were left in the room. Xu Qing found that the office and corridor of the Chunyuan Porcelain Association did not seem to be monitored.
"Do you know how much a chicken bowl cup is worth?" Zhu Rong crossed Erlang's legs, leaned back on the sofa and said, "In 2011, Cheng Yubai bought a pair of colorful tangled phoenix bowls at a Japanese auction house for 300,000 yuan, and the final transaction price was more than 5 million; A Qianlong's official kiln ear bottle, which he bought back from Japan for 2 million, was auctioned in Hong Kong for nearly 7 million in 2013; In 2016, he bought back a blue and white five-hole vase for 7 million yuan in Denmark, and two years later sold it for more than 20 million yuan at the auction in Beijing Dayi...... In the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty, every time Shenzong ate, a pair of Chenghua Doucai chicken cups would be placed in front of him, which was worth 100,000 yuan according to records at the time. Emperors of all dynasties, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong all generations have imitation burning, at present, the Beijing Palace Museum and the Taipei Palace Museum each have a collection, and the private collection is not counted, but according to the highest auction price in history of 280 million, Cheng Yubai sent this one to Hong Kong, which should be expensive. β
"Dream of Red Mansions" wrote Miaoyu to Jia Mu tea, using a kiln bowl, it can be seen that Chenghua porcelain is a rare treasure in the Qing Dynasty, so the porcelain line has "Ming to see Chenghua, Qing to see Yongzheng" said, among which the most significant achievement of Chenghua porcelain is Doucai. Doucai is a decorative technique that combines underglaze blue and white and overglaze colors. It is usually a blue and white hook line, fired into blue and white porcelain, and then filled with colorful paint in the space within the blue and white contour line, and sent to the kiln for low temperature baking.
Zhu Rongchang couldn't understand, "A person with a net worth of more than 100 million, why is he persistent in the reform of the porcelain industry?" Obviously, he is not for money, so if it is not for fame and power, what else can he want? You shouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that this is just an ideal, right? β
Xu Qing put his hands on his knees, his palms were sweaty, and they were sticky and uncomfortable.
She said naturally: "If the president has something to say, please speak directly." β
"If the news of Cheng Yubai bribing Yuan Xishi in order to get votes spreads, what do you think will be the consequences?" Zhu Rong put the cup in his hand and turned around, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qing, "The case is judged by a physical witness, and the evidence is complete, and now that the physical evidence is available, there is still a lack of personal evidence." Once you have both, it doesn't matter what the two parties say. β
Xu Qing understood the meaning, and the hands on his knees were unconsciously twisted together: "I'll think about it." β
"Okay." Zhu Rong also saw her small movements, and readily agreed, "But it's best not to think about it for too long, you also know that today you were invited to the association to participate in the investigation because of plagiarism." Of course I believe that you are innocent, but I believe that you are useless, and I have to make the majority of netizens believe in you. β
"I understand."
"For example, the Moguan Cup is an internal audit, what kind of transparent comparison is suddenly done this time, for what, you should be clear, right?" Zhu Rong took a step closer and said in a low voice, "Xu Qing, it's not easy for you to enter the Porcelain Association, don't just let people force you away." β
He obviously didn't do anything, but Xu Qing felt a strong and powerful sense of oppression.
She hurried out of the office and into the bathroom.
In the sound of rushing water, a passage kept burrowing into her mindβthe line between good and evil was like the foul line on a baseball field. It's a thin line, it's carved out of something that isn't soft like lime powder, and if you hit it, it becomes blurred, and then the compliant ones seem to fight the foul ones, and the foul ones seem to be compliant.
Compliance, foul.
Is there a right or wrong in this?
She left the Chunyuan Porcelain Association in a daze, and the only gain was that with the help of Zhu Rong, she obtained the email information of the "shelled" contributor. She tried to contact the other party, but every time she read the email but did not get any reply, she had to ask Xu Xiaohe for help.
Xu Xiaohe has many ways to go, and he also knows foreign hacker friends. Just when the other party opened the mailbox again, the IP address was finally traced.
Xu Qing got the address, Xu Xiaohe thought she would be happy, but she didn't expect her face to turn white. He leaned over to look at the street information: "It seems that the area around Feiyun Street is full of fly restaurants, right?" Is there something wrong with this place? β
Xu Qing shook his head: "It's okay, you go back to the company, thank you." β
"You don't want me to come with you?"
"No, I can." She said, "I can do it alone." β
Although Xu Xiaohe was suspicious, he was really relieved, but he still left. After Xu Qing saw his windy car disappear at the end of the street, he suddenly became dizzy, staggered a few steps unsupportively, and finally squatted down with his hands on his knees.
Later, Xu Zhiliu learned that only when Xu Qing was homesick, she would squat without scruples.
She misses the loess raised by the development zone all the way home when she was young, the wanton squatting and laughing on the side of the road, and the grandfather who suffered all his life but died with hatred.
She envies the attitude of living as she pleases.
But she could only squat, endure the thoughts and pain, and then stand up again, like a soldier.
The typhoon finally came, and the storm passed, and the umbrella was blown off, and she was dragged for a while, and finally threw away the umbrella and ran into a dessert shop in the rain.
She picked carefully for a long time, and Xu Zhiliu kept looking at her from the side: "What are you picking?" β
"Fat people like blueberry flavored cakes, but this one is gone, I'm hesitating, and it's too late to buy another one."
It turns out that today is the birthday of the fat man.
"Do you cherish those classmates?"
"In the past, when my grandfather was alive, he accompanied me on my birthday every year, and then he got sick, and his memory was not very good, and he always remembered my birthday wrongly, and for two years I spent my birthday alone in a dark bedroom, but then I met the fat man and Qin Feng, and my birthday was no longer alone."
It was a fusion experimental class, everyone went to class every day like a debate competition, expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly, but the relationship after class was surprisingly good, on the one hand, thanks to Wu Yi's words and deeds, on the other hand, the fat man and Qin Feng were a few living treasures, and they were always the best atmosphere.
She was the youngest in it, everyone took care of her, and her birthday was celebrated every year for the two years after her sophomore year. Later, her grandfather died, and she left Jingdezhen, and she never had a birthday again.
Xu Qing remembered something and said with a smile: "The first time I went to the Fat Hotel, he said that he could deliver it to me in the future, you don't know how moved I was at that time." β
Xu Zhiliu nodded.
It's a pity.
People will grow up, and people's hearts will change.
