Marriage is not lustful

Chapter 97 Getting Involved in a Plagiarism Case
Li Xiaoran walked to Chu Ge's desk, searched for a while on her desk, because she wasn't sure which one it was, so she simply took all of the above ones, and then ran out in a hurry.

"Hurry up, I'll be late!" Ma Xiaoman impatiently urged Cui Jing, who was carrying bags and various documents behind her.

Yin Zhener walked in front very elegantly, wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses and delicate makeup on her face.

Ma Xiaoman is Yin Zhen'er's manager. She came to Leng's Group this time because the endorsement contract between Yin Zhen'er and Leng's Group is about to expire. She made an appointment with the representative of Leng's Group today to see if they can have a talk. Renewing the contract, especially when she heard that Leng's Group will launch a brand new perfume recently, called Blue Enchantress, which translates to Blue Enchantress in Chinese. When she heard the name, she felt that it was very suitable for Yin Zhener.

So this time she has to use all her strengths to sign this endorsement.

"I'll follow right away!" The little assistant Cui Jing carried the big and small bags, and followed behind with some difficulty.

But as soon as she reached the corner, she bumped into Li Xiaoran who was walking towards her.

"Ouch!" Li Xiaoran was in pain from being hit, and the document fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Seeing that she bumped into someone, Cui Jing quickly apologized to her.

"Why do you have long eyes?" Hearing the movement behind, Ma Xiaoman yelled at Cui Jing rather angrily.

"Didn't you see this when you turned the corner? Why are you yelling at him so fiercely!" Li Xiaoran also turned her head angrily, and replied to Ma Xiaoman.

"I'm sorry, it's really my fault." Cui Jing said, squatting down, picking up her own and her documents on the ground.

"It's okay, your leader is really not a good role." Li Xiaoran also knelt down and helped them pick it up.

The two smiled at each other.

"Follow up soon?" Seeing that everything has been picked up, Ma Xiaoman started to urge again.

"Come here, come right away!" Cui Jing smiled at Li Xiaoran, and then chased after her.

Alas, it's a good thing I don't have such an unpleasant leader, otherwise I would have been pissed off.Li Xiaoran shook her head and continued walking towards the meeting room.

Not long after Li Xiaoran arrived in the conference room, Chu Ge also came in.

"Li Li, show me your advertisement design." Zhang Li said to Chu Ge.

"Here it is." Li Xiaoran said, and took all the documents she had on her desk.

"Thank you." Chu Ge smiled at her, then took the file and started looking for it.

But until she finished looking for the last one, she didn't see the one she designed.

"It should be removed." Chu Ge said to Zhang Li.

"Then go back to the office and get it again, let's discuss the other parts first." Zhang Li said again.

"Okay." Chu Ge said, stood up, opened the door of the meeting room and walked out.

Yin Zhen'er and his party were sitting in the lounge, waiting for the representative of Leng's to come.

Feeling bored, Yin Zhener took the documents from Cui Jing, wanting to see what the specific requirements of the previous contract were, but she hadn't read them for so long that she forgot.

But after opening it, I found that the first page was signed by "Li Li".what's up?Yin Zhener was a little puzzled, but she immediately realized that it must have just happened when she bumped into it. Cui Jing mistakenly thought it belonged to them, so she took it.

She continued to look through it, only to find out that it turned out to be the advertising plan of the latest Blue Enchantress!
God help me too!
Yin Zhen'er smiled, then took out her mobile phone and took pictures of every page of the design draft.

Then, by going to the bathroom, she threw the document at the corner where Cui Jing was hit just now.

Chu Ge went back to the office to search for a while, but did not find her design draft, and then returned to the meeting room.

"Minister, I just went back and looked for it, but I couldn't find it. Otherwise, I will explain it verbally, but some details may only be understood after reading the drawings I designed." Chu Ge suggested.

"Didn't find it?" Zhang Li thought for a while, "Well, let's discuss your plan at the next meeting, and we will discuss other parts today."

"Okay." After Chu Ge finished speaking, he sat down.

After the meeting, Li Xiaoran went straight to the corner where she was hit, and found the document behind a flower pot: "Haha, I said it must be here!"

With that said, she returned the document to Chu Ge.

This conversation has basically finalized the renewal of Yin Zhener's contract, and it is very likely that she will endorse Blue Enchantress.

But this was not what excited her the most. After the conversation, she bid farewell to Ma Xiaoman in a hurry, went back to her apartment, and called Chaney in France.

"Honey, why did you think of me all of a sudden?" As soon as the call was connected, the man on the other side of the phone said to Yin Zhen'er in an ambiguous tone.

"Don't be poor with me, are you having a headache for the new season's advertisement design recently?" Yin Zhen'er smiled smugly.

"How do you know? Have you been paying attention to me silently?" Chaney's tone was a little frivolous.

"If you say that again, I won't send you my idea." Yin Zhen'er said, as if she was about to hang up the phone.

"Don't! I'm wrong, can't you? Tell me quickly, I feel that my inspiration has dried up recently, and I'm worrying about it!" Chaney said quickly when she heard that she had a good idea.

"I have some information here, and you will be satisfied after reading it." After Yin Zhen'er finished speaking, she hung up the phone.Then put the photos you took in your e-mail, press the send button, and send them out.

Seeing that the mobile phone showed that the transmission was successful, a more smug smile appeared on her face: "Just wait and see, I will definitely ruin your reputation!"

The subsequent progress was very smooth. Chu Ge's design was well received by all colleagues in the design department. It didn't take long before it was officially photographed as an advertisement.And Yin Zhener is the spokesperson this time.

After the advertisement was put into the market, it received a good response, and it further boosted Chu Ge's popularity in China.

"Congratulations, Li Li, you performed really well this time!" Zhang Li walked over and said to Chu Ge.

"Thank you Minister, this is also the opportunity you gave me." Chu Ge was actually very grateful to Zhang Li for having such a good opportunity to express herself before she left.

"Li Li, let's go out to celebrate together tonight!" Li Xiaoran came over again.

"Thank you, but I plan to resign." Chu Ge brought up the matter of resignation again.

Some time ago, she said that she would leave Leng's as long as the design was completed perfectly.Now that it's over, she has no reason to stay any longer.

"Mo Li, are you crazy? Now you are in the rising stage of your career, why do you want to leave?" Hearing that Chu Ge said that he was going to leave, Li Xiaoran's eyes widened.

"Are you still thinking about resigning?" Zhang Li was very calm.

"Yes, thank you for nurturing me all the time." Chu Ge bowed to Zhang Li.

"Well, since you've already thought it through, it's probably useless for me to keep you. But if you come back in the future, as long as I'm still in the design department, I will definitely welcome you [-]%." ​​Zhang Li came here, and She has been with Chu Ge for a long time, and she also understands Chu Ge's temper. If she says she wants to resign again, it should be her decision to go.

"Minister, you can't just let Mo Li go like this!" Seeing Zhang Li returning to her office, Li Xiaoran also followed.

Today should be the last day of working in Leng's Group.

Chu Ge touched the desk and felt that he had already developed feelings for this place. He said that he wanted to leave, but he was really reluctant.

Leng Xize hasn't met him in the company since the last dinner together. I heard that he went to North America for an inspection. It should take some time before he can return to China.

It's actually quite good to just separate like this, she thought in her heart.

The resignation application was quickly approved, and Chu Ge began to pack up the things on the table silently.

"Mo Li, I can't bear you." Li Xiaoran stood beside her with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, we can go out frequently to go shopping in the future, it's not like we can't meet again." Chu Ge smiled at her.

"But..." That's different!Li Xiaoran hesitated to speak.

"Okay, I will ask you out in the future, goodbye!" Chu Ge said, picking up the things he packed, "Goodbye everyone, if there is a chance, we must come out and get together more often!"

Seeing that Chu Ge was about to leave, the others also stepped forward and said a few words to her.

Standing at the door, Li Die was very happy to see her packing up her things and leaving, as soon as she left, her chances would be many!
Chu Ge walked out of the office under everyone's gaze.

Taking the elevator, she went down to the first floor.Seeing that he was about to step out of the building.

At this moment, Leng Xize and his group walked in from the outside.

Looking at the things that Chu Singer was holding, Leng Xize's face was stern: "Are you going to resign?"

"Yes, the resignation application has been approved. Goodbye!" Chu Ge dared not look him in the eyes, because she was afraid that even if she took another look, she would lose the courage to leave.

"You plan to never see each other again!" Leng Xize stared at her closely.

Chu Ge raised his head and looked at him in a daze.She didn't understand what he meant, since he came back from the country that time, he had returned to his previous indifference, making her feel that everything in the country was just a dream she had.

She has been suffering from this for a while, she can't take it anymore, she knows that if she stays here any longer, every time she sees him, her thoughts will grow wildly, and until now, she has no way to stop To control this endless growth, she chose the most cowardly way to escape.

"I have no meaning to stay here anymore." Chu Ge looked at him and said very seriously.If you don't love her, let her go!

Hearing her words, the only spark of hope in Leng Xize's eyes was instantly extinguished.She had made it clear enough.This is not where she belongs.

Seeing that he didn't speak any more, Chu Ge continued to raise his foot, and walked by his side.

Goodbye, Leng Xize, this time, it should be true that we will never see each other again!
Leng Xize seemed to be frozen in place, with one hand in his trouser pocket, his expression solemn.

He rushed so fast that he packed his North American inspection schedule to the brim, without even a moment's rest, in order to hurry back. No one knew how excited he was when he came back today.

But when he reached the door, he happened to see her about to leave.Should he thank God for allowing him to see her for the last time?He laughed at himself.

"Mo Li!" Zhang Li chased after him.

Only then did Zhang Li see that Leng Xize was there, so she stood up straight and bowed respectfully to him.

"Minister, is there anything else?" Chu Ge turned around.

"You can't leave yet!" Zhang Li walked up to Chu Ge and looked at her with a serious face.

"Why?" Chu Ge was a little puzzled.

Hearing Zhang Li's words, Leng Xize's attention was also attracted.

"Just after receiving the notice, the legal representative of the French Prospère advertising company called us and said that our Blue Enchantress' advertising creative was suspected of plagiarizing theirs, and they have already filed an international legal arbitration against us!"

"How is that possible! The advertising idea of ​​Blue Enchantress is completely my own intellectual property, and I have never heard of Prospère at all, so how could I plagiarize their idea!" Chu Ge was inevitably a little emotional when he heard that he was suspected of plagiarism Excited.

"I know you will never do such a thing. It is possible that you all thought of going together, but they announced it first, so we are very passive now. Before this matter is resolved, the people above said to let you Stay here so that I can find you at any time." Zhang Li conveyed the words of the higher-ups to Chu Ge.

"In short, I have a clear conscience. Well, I'll stay here until the matter is cleared up!" Chu Ge gritted his teeth, and then followed Zhang Li towards the elevator with the things in his arms.

When passing by Leng Xize, she suddenly stopped in her tracks: "I didn't copy them, please trust me!"

After saying this, Chu Ge regretted it too much. Why did she tell him these things?For him, these are simply insignificant, right?

In fact, even she herself didn't know that deep in her heart, the last thing she wanted to be misunderstood was him.

Chu Ge felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and hurried towards the elevator.

Hearing what Chu Ge said to him, Leng Xize actually felt a little secretly happy.She was explaining to him, meaning that she still cared about what he thought of her, didn't she?
Seeing Chu Ge's back disappear into the elevator, Leng Xize turned around and said to Liu Haonan who was behind him: "Find all the information about Prospère, and send it to my office as soon as possible!"

"Yes, President!" Liu Haonan replied, and hurriedly started to search for information.

After Leng Xize ordered, he got on the elevator and returned to his office.

After a while, Liu Haonan entered Leng Xize's office with the information of Prospèr Prospère company.

"I just checked. The advertisement of Prospère is only two days earlier than our release time. I think there may be something tricky in it; in addition, this company is not very well-known in France. I guess they have Maybe he also wants to take advantage of this lawsuit with us to increase his international reputation." Liu Haonan said while handing over the collected information to Leng Xize.

"Call their legal representatives right away, and find a way to find out their main purpose this time." Leng Xize said, already flipping through the documents Liu Haonan handed him.

"Yes, President." Liu Haonan said, walked to the corner of the office, dialed the phone number of Prospèr Prospère's legal representative, and communicated with the other party in French.

"President," Liu Haonan hung up the phone, and came to Leng Xize's desk again, "I've tried it out just now, and what they mean is very simple, that is, we should either pay them a sum of money, or keep the lawsuit open." go down."

"Pay them money? Does that mean we have admitted to plagiarizing their ideas?" Leng Xize raised his eyebrows.

At this time, the internal line on the desk rang.Leng Xize picked up the phone.

"Vice President, the relevant department called just now, saying that because someone complained about plagiarism in our advertisement, they asked us to remove all related advertisements!" Wang Yan reported to him.

"Okay, I see." Leng Xize frowned and hung up the phone.

It seems that things are much more complicated than he imagined. If the advertisement is withdrawn, it will definitely cause speculation in the media, and their brand image will naturally be implicated.On the shareholder side, the pot should have exploded, right?It seems that you have to take the initiative first!
"You should send a notice right away, and call an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders immediately to discuss this matter." Leng Xize thought for a while, and then said to Liu Haonan.

"Yes!" Liu Haonan agreed and walked out.

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, all shareholders arrived at the meeting room on time.You can see that everyone is very angry about what happened today.

Leng Xize walked in from the outside and sat down on the leather chair in front.

The originally noisy conference room was instantly quiet again because of Leng Xize's arrival.

"The purpose of convening this emergency meeting this time must be very clear to everyone. I want to hear your opinions." After sitting down, Leng Xize said straight to the point.

"Our perfume of this season received a very good response after it was launched. If the advertisement is withdrawn like this, it will definitely affect our brand image in the future, so I suggest that it is better to privately discuss this matter with the French company." A shareholder first proposed own opinion.

"I think so too. I've seen the advertisements in France, and they're almost 90.00% similar to ours. If we go to court, it will definitely take a long time, and we can't guarantee that we will win. Taking a step back, even if we win this lawsuit, what about the damaged brand image during the period before winning? This will affect the company’s stock price. So no matter what, we are all losers.” Another shareholder analyzed.

"So you mean it's private too?" Leng Xize asked.
