047: Saw a counterfeit product in the campus store
With sunlight shining around the campus, leaves swaying in the breeze, and everything seems peaceful and harmonious.
After Qi Yueran and Ye Huaping had lunch at noon, they walked side by side to the campus store.
"Sister, buy some ink with me first, accompany you to the dormitory in a while, and then I'll go back and rest for a while."
"Okay!" Ye Huaping nodded.
He said with a little pity, "Actually, the senior sister in our dormitory has moved away, and now there is an empty bed." If you can, you can actually prepare a straw mat and a small blanket, and come to our dormitory at noon to rest. โ
"But there should be other students in your dormitory who haven't gone home yet, right?"
"Yes, Lin Lin is so studious, and he doesn't stop for a moment during the summer vacation, so he plans to go back in August."
Hearing what Ye Huaping said, Qi Yueran became even more curious about this girl who had never heard of her in her previous life.
Who would have thought that Lin Rui and such a casual and playful person would have such a straightforward and studious sister?
"Then I won't bother you, and the school has a unified arrangement for the next semester."
"Well, let's go, buy ink!"
The afternoon sun shone through the clean windows at the entrance of the campus store, and Qi Yueran and Ye Huaping walked into this place full of various school supplies.
They walk through the crowded shelves, unhurried and with a clear purchase goal.
The shelves of the store are full of various items.
The shelves are very narrow, so you can only walk one after the other.
In the fan area, a familiar appearance attracted Qi Yueran's attention.
Her eyes instantly became sharp!
And Ye Huaping, who was walking behind her, couldn't help but look in that direction when he saw her expression.
They saw the familiar little fan, lying quietly on the display table.
The little fan that copied their sketch design is on the list!
That little fan was exactly the same as the original plan they had designed before.
They put a lot of effort into this design, remembering every line and every detail.
Now, however, the identical product lies quietly on the shelves, as if provoking them.
Qi Yueran's face instantly turned pale, her hand tightly grasped Ye Huaping's arm, and the anger in her heart surged like a tide.
The two of them walked over to the display table and carefully compared the two small fans.
Whether it is the appearance design or the functional characteristics, it is the same.
The anger in Qi Yueran's heart could no longer be concealed, her fists were clenched, and her voice trembled slightly: "Why would she really do this?" โ
Ye Huaping listened to what she said, and always felt that she still knew other information about the plagiarist.
Gently shook her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, let's find the clerk to understand the situation first." โ
Ye Huaping walked to the clerk and asked with a serious face about the shelving time of this small fan.
The clerk didn't raise his head, and replied coldly: "Last month." โ
Hearing this, their brows tightened, and they obviously heard the disdain in the clerk's tone.
"What channel did you buy from?"
"Someone sent it...... No, why do you buy something so much nonsense, do you buy something or not? The clerk said impatiently.
Qi Yueran took a deep breath, she tried to calm herself, and then said, "However, the design of this little fan is our original, and others have copied our results. โ
The clerk listened, and just shrugged.
Faced with Qi Yueran and Ye Huaping's doubts, he responded lightly: "These are all produced by manufacturers, we are just selling, what else is original and unoriginal about this fan, and it doesn't all look the same?" โ
Qi Yueran looked at all this, and the anger in his heart gradually increased.
In this era, it is true that a clerk cannot be required to have a high level of copyright awareness.
He is only responsible for earning money to eat, and whether this money is earned to the detriment of other people's interests is completely out of his consideration.
But the attitude of the clerk disappointed them even more.
"That ......"
Ye Huaping is still preparing to theorize something.
Instead, Qi Yueran, who calmed down, took her hand and said, "Forget it, sister, we can't take care of it, but you don't have to worry about our products...... Let's go back to the dormitory first. โ
Ye Huaping's heart was full of doubts, but he also knew that this store was not a good place to talk, and after going out for a while, there was time and space to listen to Qi Yueran analyze with her.
Holding her hand tightly, he nodded, his eyes revealing a determined light, and the two left side by side.
It's not uncommon for them to buy ink here.
After a while, there were many stationery stores on South Street, so there was no need to bear the cold face of this clerk and give him business.

Walking on the way to Ye Huaping's dormitory, Qi Yueran shook her head with a smile, and talked about the seemingly exquisite fake fan.
"You don't have to worry about this fan, I just took a sneak peek, and its quality is actually very poor."
There was a lot of confidence in her voice, and she clearly had a high level of confidence in her product.
She continued: "The quality of our products is better and the publicity is better, so tomorrow the students will definitely come to us to place an order." โ
There was a determined glint in her eyes, and it was clear that she was looking forward to tomorrow.
Ye Huaping looked at Qi Yueran's confident appearance, and the worry in his heart gradually dissipated.
"In that case, then I'm relieved."
Her voice was full of trust and anticipation, clearly convinced of Qi Yueran's judgment.
But Ye Huaping still had doubts in his heart, "But I heard your words before, you said, 'Why did she do this', you seem to have guessed who that 'she' is?" โ
Qi Yueran nodded, raised his head, and looked at Ye Huaping with a firm gaze.
Ye Huaping looked at Qi Yueran in surprise, "So, you suspected that you had an idea before, so why were you so surprised just now?" โ
Qi Yueran shook his head slightly.
"I was just angry when I saw pirated products being sold in school stores.
But to my surprise, I thought it was an external competitor doing the sabotage, but I didn't expect it to be someone from the school.
When Director Huang said that our sketch plan had been taken and seen, I was full of shock.
Because I hardly ever took the sketch to any mixed places, only school and home.
Needless to say, Aunt Hong and Uncle Peng never go to the door of my room, and then we don't care about ourselves.
Then there's only one situation left......"
"Someone in the school read our plan and gave it to someone else?" Ye Huaping replied.
"But how did you come up with that?" She still had questions in her heart, so she turned her head sideways and looked at Qi Yueran and asked again.
Qi Yueran bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, and barely squeezed out a smile.
Full of helplessness and sadness, he slowly told Ye Huaping his guess.
