Chapter 6: What Secrets Does He Really Have?
Shen Zhewen would never have thought that the woman who was in the clouds and rain with Bai Fei turned out to be his own sister! "Shen Shuangshuang, Shen Shuangshuang, you are really confused!" The scene he saw that day couldn't linger in Shen Zhewen's mind.
He has also been looking for an opportunity to suggest that his sister stay away from Bai Fei in the past few days, but his sister never seems to take it to heart.
He knew that this matter would eventually become a time bomb for the Shen family and the Bai family....
It was already late when Mu Ran returned to the villa, and he saw Shen Xue like a weak kitten, huddled in a corner of the sofa, turning over from time to time, muttering something in his mouth. Seeing his wife waiting for him to fall asleep on the sofa, Mu Ran couldn't help but feel distressed.
He walked gently to Shen Xue's side, wanting to carry her to the bed and sleep well.
"Husband, you're back." Even though Mu Ran's movements were already very light, Shen Xue was still woken up.
She rubbed her eyes lazily, and talked to Mu Ran in a daze, her voice revealed a delicate sense of powerlessness, and Mu Ran's heart itched when she listened.
Unlike before, this time Shen Xue's voice seemed to be very low, with a little crying, Mu Ran then took a closer look at Shen Xue's face, the corners of his eyes were red, I don't know if he had just cried, or the result of rubbing hard.
"Well, why did you fall asleep on the couch." He asked knowingly. Mu Ran enjoyed the scene of Shen Xue waiting for him at home very much, which was also the only salvation in the humiliating years of the Shen family.
Shen Xue didn't speak, buried her head in Mu Ran's arms, her face was tightly pressed against Mu Ran's chest, and she rubbed back and forth from time to time, like a little cat who had been wronged and waited for her master's comfort.
When she was carried upstairs by Mu Ran, she was bumpy all the way, causing Shen Xue to gradually wake up, and now she has no sleepiness at all. Her behavior today was very abnormal, and Mu Ran suddenly became nervous in her heart.
"Wife, what's wrong? Feeling bad? Mu Ran was careful along the way, and he was relieved until he put Shen Xue on the bed. He stared at Shen Xue intently, his eyes were full of concern, and his tone was very gentle.
"Husband, my work has been plagiarized." Shen Xue had been almost comforted by her colleagues in the company, but seeing Mu Ran at this moment, she was like a child who had been waiting for her parents to comfort her when she was wronged, and her tears still fell unconsciously.
"What's going on?" Mu Ran saw Shen Xue crying, and his whole heart hurt as if he was being fried in an oil pan. Shen Xue was originally very thin, and she never had the aura and confidence of her sister Shen Yu, no matter what grievances she suffered, she would endure it by herself.
"Last month, we designed a logo for a clothing brand with a new season's theme, and I was solely responsible for it, and I was going to submit the manuscript tomorrow, and today I found out that my manuscript was preemptively registered by another brand." The more Shen Xue spoke, the more uncontrollable she became, and she began to sob.
Mu Ran knows Shen Xue very much, she loves her work very much, and she is also a very good designer. Thinking that the design that his wife had worked so hard for a month had been stolen by the villain like this, Mu Ran's anger suddenly jumped to Tianlinggai.
According to Shen Xue, he found out the brand that was registered and issued first, and so on! How could this brand be so familiar? Li clothing? Isn't it the brand of Zhou Yan's fiancé! He took the logo they registered and issued and compared it with his wife's manuscript, and the similarity was 95%!!
This shameless villain, the first time I saw him, I thought he was not a good thing, and now he dares to plagiarize my wife! Mu Ran's anger went to the next level.
"Wife, don't cry yet, your design draft is saved in the computer every day, how can it be leaked? Think about it, who has touched your computer this month? Mu Ran patiently helped Shen Xue find ideas, his wife was bullied, he must help her get justice!
Shen Xue carefully recalled the events of this month according to Mu Ran's thoughts, her computer has always had a password, and it has never been borrowed, how could there be such a thing as a design draft being stolen?
"Ah, I remember, last Thursday a male colleague came to me and said that he wanted to use my computer to upload a file, and it only took a few minutes, and nothing else."
Mu Ran quickly asked people to check all the information of this male colleague, and early the next morning, he personally sent Shen Xue to the company.
Originally, except for a few people in the company who had seen Shen Xue's drawings and knew the truth, almost everyone else suspected that Shen Xue had plagiarized other people's logos, after all, the rival company released it first.
"Husband, Party A is coming to the acceptance at today's meeting, and it is impossible for me to hand in the same manuscript as other companies, so I will be banned by the industry." Although Mu Ran repeatedly assured Shen Xue last night that everything would definitely be resolved when he got up the next day, Shen Xue's heart was still very worried.
"You take this to the company that comes to the acceptance, and they will be satisfied." Mu Ran handed a USB flash drive to Shen Xue. It was painted overnight by contacting several of the top designers in China last night, how could they not be satisfied?
Shen Xue entered the conference room tremblingly with the USB flash drive that Mu Ran gave her, but the moment she opened the USB flash drive, everyone present was stunned!
They have never seen such a LOGO, and a few strokes let people know the theme of the new season, which not only expresses the connotation of the brand very accurately, but also is very bold and avant-garde in color matching, which catches everyone's attention! The company was so satisfied with the acceptance that it even booked the design for the next few quarters.
I have never seen such a happy Party A, not only did I give the manuscript once, there was no strange request of "colorful black" and "rich and diverse white", and even paid the deposit for the next few quarters. Shen Xue was also promoted to deputy director of the design department because of her outstanding performance this time.
Shen Xue looked at the design on the big screen, this was much better than her own original design! How did Mu Ran do it?
Within half a day, Shen Xue went from being unwilling to be plagiarized to being nervous before the meeting, and now she was completely stunned.
She received applause and congratulations from her colleagues and walked out of the conference room as if she had woken up from a dream.
As soon as she looked up, she saw the colleague who borrowed his computer last time walking up to her with a box, admitting in front of the whole company that she had stolen Shen Xue's manuscript and sold it to a competing company, and apologized to Shen Xue very solemnly, and finally left the company with the box in the fingers of other colleagues.
Shen Xue didn't know why, but she only knew that later, the president of the company personally came to comfort herself and assured that the company would never have such a "moth" again.
When he returned home in the evening, Mu Ran saw Shen Xue's face with unconcealed happiness, and knew that the matter was solved.
"Husband, you're really right! Not only did I pass the acceptance, but I was also promoted, and we went out for a big dinner today, and I was treated!. Shen Xue triumphantly reported the battle situation to Mu Ran.
This stupid girl, how did she know that all this was due to her husband.
After Shen Xue entered the conference room, Mu Ran directly found the president of their company and revealed his identity, and also took out the evidence that his male colleague resold Shen Xue's design draft.
Their company didn't dare to offend the Mo family, but now that the young lady of the Mo family has been plagiarized, can you not be afraid! This is the scene that Shen Xue saw when he came out of the conference room.
After Mu Ran finished cooking Shen Xue's matter, he remembered that the culprit of this matter was the hateful buyer LI Clothing! actually copied it to his wife's head, then you can only blame your bad luck.
Through investigation, he found that LI company did not have a design department at all, and all ready-to-wear and logo were plagiarized or bought.
"I don't know if the person in charge of Dehao Plaza wants to do it, but I actually wanted to cooperate with such a brand before." Mu Ran sneered in his heart.
Early the next morning, the news headlines released by all the fashion media were: the famous clothing brand LI is suspected of plagiarism, and the huge company has no design department! The latest season's clothing logo is actually from the hands of Lin Xue, a designer of SIST.....
Not only Shen Xue's manuscript was posted in the news, but even the transaction process and chat records of the two parties were clear! It also made a detailed comparison of the design patterns that have been released by LI clothing in the past and the logos of other companies. Stubble after stubble of evidence fell like raindrops, and the LI brand had no power to fight back!
"The Finnish family filed a lawsuit against the LI brand for logo plagiarism, and it is everyone's responsibility to resist plagiarism."
"Chanelly sued the LI brand for plagiarizing its own logo."
"Nian Fanxi sued LI for brand plagiarism, and a case has now been filed."
.......
For a time, more than a dozen companies in a row filed a public relations lawsuit against LI to defend their rights, and Lai's industry was on the verge of collapse.
Originally, Li Sheng was attacked by the board of directors because he lost his cooperation with Dehao, but now his own stock has fallen by more than half, and he is more anxious like ants on a hot pot.
He really didn't know who he had offended, and he was treated like this.
Lin Xue became a well-known designer in the city in one fell swoop because of this turmoil, and she was in a good mood that day, so she got off work early and came to the café to wait for Mu Ran to get off work together.
As soon as she arrived at the store, the clerk told her that Mu Ran was busy stocking up, so she could only sit in the store and wait while reading a book and drinking coffee.
"Are you Mu Ran's wife?" A crisp female voice interrupted Lin Xue's thoughts, she looked up and saw a very delicately dressed woman standing in front of her, the woman was wearing a classic dress from Chanel, the shoes under her feet were the latest BV models, and she was carrying Hermes worth hundreds of thousands in her hand, with a rich temperament.
"You are?" Lin Xue has never pursued famous brands, if she is not engaged in the design industry, I am afraid she will not recognize anyone.
"My name is Zhou Yan, you should have heard of me." Zhou Yan's voice was small, but it was tough and powerful.
Zhou Yan? Lin Xue remembered that in the year when Mu Ran first married her, she did get drunk a few times and shouted this name in her mouth, but at that time she and Mu Ran didn't have any feelings, so she didn't take it to heart.
After a few years of marriage, Mu Ran never mentioned this woman again. Today she suddenly appeared in front of her, and Shen Xue was caught off guard.
"Miss Zhou is looking for me?" Shen Xue glanced up at Zhou Yan, then lowered her head and continued to read her book.
"You may not know, the main coffee of this shop, "Shanyue does not return", is my pen name when I was in college, and Shanyue refers to me and Mu Ran. Shen Xue heard it, this Zhou Yan is here to sow discord.
"So?" Shen Xue sat by the window with a tall posture, slightly tilting her head and looking at Zhou Yan who was sitting opposite.
"I didn't expect Mu Ran to be so infatuated, he was still waiting for me after I went abroad for more than 4 years, and even the name of the coffee shop was an abbreviation of our two names." Zhou Yan said very calmly, she seemed to have forgotten who was Mu Ran's wife.
Shen Xue's heart suddenly tightened when she heard Zhou Yan's words, she once asked the origin of the name of Mu Ran Coffee Shop, he only said that it was a random name taken on a whim, but he didn't expect there to be such a story. Mountains and moons don't return? Amusing.
"Miss Zhou came to tell me this, why?" Even though Shen Xue's heart was already very painful at this time, she must not lose control of her emotions in front of Zhou Yan, so she would lose, lose completely.
"Mu Ran has been pretending to be me in his heart all these years, I'm sorry, as his wife, I think you need to know, this is a kind of respect." Zhou Yan looked at Shen Xue without fear, she said it sincerely and decently, Shen Xue almost believed her.
"Then thank you, Miss Zhou, my husband is about to get off work, so I won't accompany you." Shen Xue nodded and smiled at Zhou Yan, then slowly got up and motioned to the waiter to take away the unfinished coffee on the table.
Zhou Yan saw that Shen Xue's face did not have a trace of angry expression, and even the last time she smiled at her, she was full of pride and indifference, she suddenly felt that this woman in front of her, who was as noble as a plum blossom, poked her hypocritical careful thoughts into the flesh.
She walked out of the door of the coffee shop with resentment and shame, what she didn't know was that the moment she stepped out of the coffee shop, a tear slipped from Shen Xue's eyes. There is no winner in this contest between the former and the incumbent.
Shen Xue was very sad when she heard Zhou Yan's story about her and Mu Ran's past, but she refused to let Mu Ran find out, so she asked the clerk to inform Mu Ran that she had left beforehand.
On the way home, Shen Xue recalled Mu Ran's meticulous treatment of her in the past few years, and she couldn't accept that this man who had always held her in the palm of his hand had always pretended to be someone else.
She arrived at the door of the villa, thinking about the changes in her life in the past month, from being kicked out of the house to now living in this top villa where I don't know who is the owner. During this time, Mu Ran always seemed to have a powerful ability that could help her solve all her problems, and her heart couldn't be calm.
Shen Xue walked into the villa and was about to go upstairs to rest.
"You say, why doesn't Mr. Mu want his wife to know his identity?" A few servants were chatting in the room, completely unaware that their door was not closed, and Shen Xue heard it clearly outside the door.
"Who knows? I heard that my wife is also a young lady from a large family, and now she has been kicked out. ”
How many people are talking about each other, identity? Mu Ran's identity? Shen Xue didn't listen very carefully.
"Hey, you said that Mr. Mu didn't want his wife to know, could it be to prevent his wife? After all, with so much money, you always have to keep a hand. Every word the servant said was like countless ants gnawing at Shen Xue's heart, Mu Ran really had a secret, and he had been hiding it from himself.
Shen Xue thought of so many people in this family, only she was like a fool, she believed whatever Mu Ran said, and never asked more. Now even the nanny driver at home knows the truth, and she doesn't know anything. recalled the smug look when Zhou Yan mentioned Mu Ran in the coffee shop today, and Shen Xue's heart hurt as if it had been torn apart alive.
She seemed to be unable to control herself, and slowly climbed the stairs like a zombie.
Rumble! Boom!
A voice broke the silence of the villa, and several servants who had been hiding in the room and chatting hurriedly ran out.
When they ran to the staircase, they saw Lin Xue lying on the ground at the staircase, and there was a pool of blood under her! They hurriedly called Lin Xue, but she passed out and couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed.....
"Mr. Mu, Mrs. fell down the stairs and fell unconscious!"
One of the servants hurriedly dialed Mu Ran's phone.....
