Chapter 45: The Role of Public Opinion
Lingyun's public relations department is in full swing.
"Xiao Ran, the creative concept of the red dress is based on respecting the facts, and the words should be touching. Su Xiao's photos should not be uploaded, and other relevant information can be uploaded, including the latest design works and awards. ”
"Xiaoxin, after Xiaoran uploaded, you pay attention to the follow-up posts of the cutting-edge clothing website and the Metropolis Daily of City A, continue to update the data, and give me feedback every half an hour." Wei Wei of the Public Relations Department commanded in an orderly manner.
All the staff members are immersed in the world of typing keyboards, and they publish articles about red dresses in major media outlets, and they continue to make positive comments.
A statement was issued in the name of the company on the Xinrui website: The red dress is the original work of the company's designer Su Xiao, and there is no plagiarism or piracy. Please support the originality and support Lingyun Company.
"Mr. Ji, the things you explained are progressing steadily. Now the wind is in our favour. And Yongli's designer Ding Ding has not appeared in the afternoon, and he can't contact anyone. Wei Yantao walked in and said with a little excitement.
"Well, the role of public opinion always goes both ways. It's up to you how you use it. Ji Yunshen said in a deep voice after listening to it.
"Okay, Mr. Ji. Several popular websites have already followed the post, and the response has been very good. Wei Yantao continued.
"How's the progress going on in the legal department?" Ji Yun thought about giving Su Xiao an explanation as soon as possible, so he asked.
"The legal department is making good progress, the clues provided by Huang Mengting are very important, and evidence collection is being arranged." Wei Yantao replied.
"Huang Mengting? What clues? Ji Yunshen still has some doubts about Huang Mengting.
"The people she knows have a motive and have already reported the personnel information to the Ministry of Justice. It is said that it only occurred after watching the interview. Wei Yantao replied simply.
"The results of this interview have definitely exceeded expectations. The labor fee at Metropolis Daily has doubled from the original plan, so let's transfer it as soon as possible. Ji Yunshen said with satisfaction.
In the general manager's office of Yongli Company, Wu Yongli is browsing online posts. An article on the origin of the red dress caught her eye, and the clicks have been ten thousand.
The article is not a few words, but it is full of true feelings, inheriting family affection and witnessing love, which is both a blessing and a sustenance. The detailed pictures of the red dress and the accompanying text tell the story of the red ribbon together, which is eloquent.
Wu Yongli noticed the S on the cuffs of the red dress. She remembered that when she was a judge in the designer competition that year, among the many design drafts, she saw a sample named "To Youth", and her eyes lit up.
The blue gradient color is embellished with tender green and passionate red, whether it is a skirt or a trouser, it expresses the love and dreams of the past, soothes the pain and loss of the past, and pours out the regrets of the past.
At that time, this design draft made her feel a lot of emotion, and it seemed that she had returned to her youthful memories that had gone away. She remembered the sample and marked it with an S on the cuff. The mark impressed her.
However, because the artistic conception expressed by that work was somewhat inconsistent with the theme of the competition at that time, it did not win the ranking.
She vaguely remembered that the designer was a small man, and he looked very sweet, as if he was a recent college graduate.
She looked through Su Xiao's file again, and the information and information were basically consistent, although there were no photos, she could be sure that they were the same person.
She always captures emotions that resonate with people and applies them to her designs to make people fall in love with her work at first sight. Red dresses are no exception.
Wu Yongli immediately contacted Ding Ding and asked her why she did this?
Tintin said that she really liked the work so much, she thought it was perfect. She couldn't design anything better for a while. She was very anxious when the delivery was near, and she used it directly in a moment of confusion.
"You are destroying your future, I can only protect the company. Hello do it yourself. After Wu Yongli finished speaking, she hung up the phone angrily.
Wu Yongli thought about it again and again, and still contacted Ji Yunshen, but the other party didn't answer her call at all. She was so angry that she slammed the cup in her hand to the ground. The cup turned into pieces with a crisp sound.
"My cousin is a gold medal designer at Yongli, and she has to design new drawings almost every day, and she is under a lot of pressure. After she knew about my relationship with Huang Mengting, she asked me to peek at Huang Mengting's design draft. She says she uses it to draw on and get inspiration. It's been like this a few times before. She said that Huang Mengting's designs are very fashionable and can lead the trend. She may just choose the same fabric to get the favor of customers. But I don't know why she did exactly that this time. I don't want to do that either, and I'm sure my cousin didn't mean to. After Su Xiao and Huang Mengting's efforts to enlighten, Ding Yan said these words to Liu Qi from the Ministry of Justice.
Su Xiao listened to it with great feeling, she understood what she had endured as a designer, and she was a chief designer working in a large company.
"We made a record of what you said. You see, if there is no discrepancy, sign it. Liu Qi took the notes to Ding Yan and said.
After Ding Yan looked at it carefully, she was still a little hesitant. She swept Su Xiao and Huang Mengting with a somewhat worried gaze, and they gave her supportive and affirmative looks. She carefully signed her name in the notebook.
When Ding Yan was about to leave, Su Xiao chased her out and stopped her: "Ding Yan, can I meet Ding Ding?" ”
Ding Yan asked with some confusion: "You want to see my sister?" ”
"yes, arrange it for us. Please. Su Xiao's expression was very sincere, and his tone was also very realistic.
"I don't know where she is now? She hasn't been in touch since that morning. I'll try it. You wait for my news. Ding Yan lowered her eyes, thought about it and said.
"Here's my business card with my contact details on it. If she agrees to meet, please contact me as soon as possible. Su Xiao took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Ding Yan, with a hint of advice in his tone.
"Okay, I'll see you then." Ding Yan got on the elevator after speaking.
"Why are you seeing her?" Huang Mengting came out of the legal department and walked to Su Xiao's side and said.
"I didn't think about it either. Then you can go with me. Su Xiao said as if he had something on his mind.
"Oh, okay." Huang Mengting said a little mechanically.
Su Xiao took advantage of her worries and pulled her back to the office together.
Back in the office, Huang Mengting's mobile phone was vibrating.
"Your phone keeps ringing." Xiao Liu looked up and said when he saw Huang Mengting coming over.
"Sorry, I forgot my phone." Huang Mengting picked up her phone as she spoke.
When she saw the caller ID, unwillingness and grievances came up at the same time, and she didn't answer for a long time.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Xiao Liu looked at her and asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's not important." After Huang Mengting finished speaking, she turned off her mobile phone and put it in her bag with a disappointed expression.
Lin Zemin will be able to return to City A in a few days. He had some leisure and took the time to call home to report his safety.
Then, he remembered that Huang Mengting was looking for him in a hurry two days ago, but he was too busy and deliberately distanced himself from her, so he didn't answer. I'm going back soon, thinking about it or caring about it.
So he dialed Huang Mengting's mobile phone, but no one answered after calling several times, and the last time he dialed, the other party turned off the phone. He stared at the screen of his phone, feeling a little lonely.
In the past two days, the red dress incident has been somewhat silent. Yongli did not admit or deny the fact of misappropriation of the design draft. They still claim to defend their rights, but they have not sued Lingyun. The sales of the red dresses sold by Yongli have plummeted, forming a large inventory backlog. Wu Yongli was frowning all day long, she knew that there must be a result in this matter. She was worried that Lingyun Company would countersue her for infringement, and she was also a little uneasy. She has always tried to see Ji Yunshen, but she has always been nowhere to be found. Wu Yongli temporarily hid Ding Ding, and he rarely showed up.
Su Xiao finally received a call from Ding Yan, in which Ding Yan told her that Ding Ding agreed to meet her at home.
Su Xiao asked Huang Mengting to go to Ding Yan's house together.
After they came to Ding Yan's house, Ding Yan took them to the attic.
"My sister has been in this attic for the past few days and is not going anywhere. She was so sad that she hadn't eaten much for days. Ding Yan stopped in front of the attic door and said distressedly.
She knocked on the door and said softly, "Sister, Su Xiao and they have arrived." ”
"Come in." A somewhat feeble voice said.
Ding Yan and the others walked into the attic. The attic was very dark, and the roof was a little low, except for a small window with an exhaust fan, there was little light in the house.
In the dim light, Tintin sat on the bed a little wooden.
"Ding Yiyang, I'm Su Xiao. You remember me, right? Su Xiao said in a soft voice and a little cautiously.
"Sit down, there's a couch over there. I'm going to pour you some water. Tintin's tone was a little cold, and she stood up as she spoke.
"Sister, you talk. I'll go. Ding Yan walked out of the attic.
Tintin sat back on the bed.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Ding Ding didn't look at Su Xiao and the others when he spoke, but looked at his nails.
"I know you remember me. We participated in a design contest together and you got a good place. Thank you for your generous guidance and care. I really appreciate you. Su Xiao recalled the past, and her mood fluctuated a little.
"I didn't do anything, you don't have to remember. Your work at that time was also very good, but there were some regrets. Ding Ding looked up at Su Xiao and Huang Mengting beside her, and lowered it again.
"Okay, at least an unforgettable experience." After Su Xiao said this, he felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say next.
There was silence on both sides.
"Su Xiao, let's talk about your thoughts." Huang Mengting felt that she had been quiet for a long time, so she reminded Su Xiao and said.
Su Xiao nodded and said, "Ding Ding, I came to discuss the matter of the red dress with you. ”
After hearing this, Tintin was a little impatient and a little cramped. She unconsciously raised her voice: "I know I shouldn't use your picture directly." You can do whatever you want. ”
"You're mistaken. I mean, let's talk about it together and think about how we can solve this problem and reduce the impact of the incident on you and the losses for both companies. Su Xiao said these words a little anxiously.
After hearing this, Ding Ding stared at Su Xiao in some surprise for a while, and fell into deep thought.
"I didn't expect you to be so kind. Now I can only take responsibility for what I do. If your company doesn't sue us, it's a good outcome. Tintin seemed to have figured it out, and she said somewhat calmly.
"Your company does not pursue the patent rights of the design, and I can not pursue the copyright. After all, you were the ones who applied for the patent first. Su Xiao said very bluntly.
"After knowing the truth, Mr. Wu should have given up asserting this right." Tintin truthfully analyzed.
"Then we will try our best to facilitate peace talks between the two families." Su Xiao thought for a while and said.
"As far as I know, Mr. Wu has been contacting you Mr. Ji again in the past few days, but he didn't show up at all. Now it seems that your Ji Ji has a bigger temper. "Ding Ding has a deep affection for Yongli Company.
"I can try to do Mr. Ji's work. Wait for my news. Su Xiao knew that Ji Yunshen was for herself, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
At this time, Ding Yan walked in with a drink. Su Xiao and the others didn't stay any longer, and left after resigning.
"Su Xiao, you didn't mention this matter to Mr. Ji before you came, did you?" After coming out, Huang Mengting asked.
"No, I know he cares too much about me. So I was hesitant. Now I can only beg him to help me one more time. Su Xiao sighed lightly and said.
"Good luck." Huang Mengting casually took Su Xiao's arm and said.
Two shadows got into the car in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the car quickly sped away.
