Chapter 188 - 188: Mole
“Only the members of the Designing Department, including myself, have seen these 23 products. If they’ve made their way to the opponent’s company, the mole must be among us.”
As Fang Yuan spoke, Zhao Quan, begrudgingly, acknowledged the logic behind her words.
Fang Yuan continued, “Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that someone in the company used despicable methods to betray us…”
At this, Zhao Quan struggled to voice his disagreement.
“The second issue is how to resolve this matter.”
As Fang Yuan finished speaking, Wang Ning handed her a tablet. “President Fang, 1 just checked. This is an award-winning work designed by the Charm Cloth designer.”
Fang Yuan took a look. The competitions they participated in were small and insignificant, and the award-winning works didn’t align with Gu Panpan’s fresh and ladylike style.
“Everyone, take a look. The other party’s design style is obviously different from this new product. It’s clear that he plagiarized Gu Panpan’s work!” Fang Yuan placed the tablet on the conference table.
After everyone read it, they agreed.
“His design style is more like the Korean style. It’s obviously different from Panpan’s style!”
“It seems like he really plagiarized Designer Gu’s draft…”
“But he’s so famous. Why would he plagiarize a junior’s work?”
Fang Yuan found it amusing. “Is he famous?”
“Yes, he’s won hundreds of awards over the years…”
“…” Fang Yuan shrugged off the significance. “It depends on the kind of prize you get from the competition. In some competitions, even a hundred prizes are not as valuable as one.”
“But Gu Panpan has never participated in any competitions. After graduation, she has been working in our company. She usually immerses herself in drawing drafts. How could the other party know about her? How did they copy her drafts?” Many people were puzzled.
“That’s why I said there’s a mole in the company. The manuscript was sent to the opposing company. After they received it, they uploaded it before we released it,” Fang Yuan replied firmly.
“This mole is despicable!”
“If I find out who the mole is, I’ll make them regret it!”
“The opponent must have given them substantial benefits!”
“President Fang, what’s the use of discussing this now?” Zhao Quan, standing beside her, couldn’t resist mocking. “The most important thing is to salvage the situation tomorrow! Even if you can’t do anything, don’t waste time…” “Who said I can’t do anything?” Fang Yuan raised her eyebrows, exuding confidence from head to toe.
Everyone was stunned. The situation was dire, yet President Fang seemed undeterred. Did she really have a plan?
Zhao Quan was momentarily taken aback. It was evident that he doubted her. “Then tell me, what method is it? Can it prevent the company from losing money, preserve its credibility, and even generate significant profits?”
The group believed there couldn’t be such a method. At best, they could recover some losses and credibility. President Zhao’s words seemed overly optimistic.
“There is indeed a way. We won’t lose our credibility, avoid financial losses, and still make a substantial profit…”
Hearing Fang Yuan’s words, everyone was astonished. Was there really a solution?
If President Fang could pull this off, she wouldn’t be just human—she’d be a miracle worker!
“Tell me then. Don’t keep me in suspense!” Zhao Quan didn’t buy into her claim.
Fang Yuan stood up. “I have my ways. Meeting dismissed!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. President Fang would solve it herself? No matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t have conjured up numerous new designs overnight, could she?
As Fang Yuan left the meeting room, Wang Ning chased after her. “President Fang, President Fang, you’re not just trying to boost our morale, are you? Is there truly a solution? Our Cheng Corporation not only has hundreds of physical stores with reservations, but many customers on the official website have also paid in advance. There are partners and foreign channels. If we can’t deliver anything…”
“Who said we can’t deliver?” Fang Yuan looked at him and smirked. “Tomorrow, we’ll proceed with the launch as planned!” She already had a plan in mind. This matter had to be connected to Zhao Quan, and she was confident she could expose him within a day!
“President… President Fang, do you genuinely have a solution? That’s 100,000 new products!”
“We’re not expected to sell 100,000 new products right away. No need to rush.” Fang Yuan raised her eyebrows.
Wang Ning’s hopeful excitement was instantly dampened. President Fang must be playing with him—tomorrow spelled disaster for them!
Fang Yuan was about to enter her office when she saw Gu Panpan standing at the door, appearing wronged but resilient.
“President Fang, 1…”
Fang Yuan understood her unspoken words. “Come in and talk.”
Gu Panpan quickly followed her, closing the door behind her. She wiped away her tears and said, “President Fang, it really wasn’t me! 1 didn’t plagiarize Yin Shang’s work. Before this, 1 didn’t even know who Yin Shang was! 1 designed those 26 works myself! I swear to God!”
Fang Yuan responded calmly, “1 believe you..”
