Zhao Quan sneered and said, “If you’re so agitated, people will think that you’re protecting your accomplices or afraid that the matter will be exposed…” “You’re too much!” Gu Panpan clenched her fists. She really wanted to punch him. He was such a bully!
At this moment, a cold voice sounded. “How old are you, President Zhao? So you bully a young girl?”
All eyes turned towards President Fang. It was President Fang. She was here!
Fang Yuan’s presence brought a sense of relief to everyone, especially to Gu Panpan, who had suffered in their department before Fang Yuan’s arrival.
“President Fang…” Gu Panpan felt wronged and tears welled up in her eyes when she saw her.
“Wipe away your tears.” Fang Yuan looked at Gu Panpan and said gently, “A righteous person is not afraid of a crooked shadow.”
Gu Panpan obediently wiped her tears away, feeling comforted by Fang Yuan’s support.
Zhao Quan, observing Fang Yuan’s protective stance, sneered. “Such a big thing happened to the company. 1 just found some clues, and here you are, President Fang, interfering. Those who don’t know might think that you’re here to snatch credit!”
Fang Yuan curled her lips coldly. “President Zhao, you are so eager to force someone to confess. You seem more anxious than the police. Those who don’t know might think that you’re in a hurry to find a scapegoat!”
Everyone present was stunned by Fang Yuan’s straightforward response.
Zhao Quan’s expression changed instantly. “What do you mean by that?! It’s obvious that Gu Panpan didn’t learn well and plagiarized someone else’s work to make a name for herself!”
“Oh? So you can read her mind and even know her thoughts?” Fang Yuan said unhurriedly.
Zhao Quan was exasperated. “I know you two are friends, but she made such a huge mistake. The headquarters has already held her accountable. You can’t protect her!”
Fang Yuan responded, “Whether or not it can be saved, it’s up to you?” Accountability from the headquarters? Why didn’t she receive the news? Zhao Quan was a vice president, but he seemed to know more than her? It was evident that this old fellow was lying and using the headquarters to pressure her!
“We’ve already produced 100,000 new products this time. They’re worth tens of millions and are all piled up in the warehouse! We’ve hit 26 models. Let’s see how you’re going to upgrade tomorrow! If you have time to argue with me here, why don’t you write your resignation letter as soon as possible and ask the headquarters to take action? At least you can recover some losses!”
Despite his bold statement, Zhao Quan was acutely aware that time was of the essence. The headquarters could, at most, recover some losses, but the damage to the company’s reputation would be substantial. The goods in the warehouse couldn’t be delivered, and breaking promises was a severe taboo for the Cheng family. Zhao Quan was confident. This time, the odds were in his favor.
“Convene the meeting immediately!” Fang Yuan declared before leaving the Designing Department.
All the company’s executives rushed to the meeting room. Fang Yuan sat at the head of the table, maintaining a strong aura. Even in the face of this crisis, she showed no signs of panic.
The executives secretly admired President Fang’s mental fortitude.
“President Fang, Charm Cloth’s 26 sets of clothes—patterns, color, workmanship, and length—are identical to our company’s designs! It’s too much of a coincidence!”
“They even got celebrities to endorse them. These new products are incredibly popular now. Anyone who sees them will assume that Charm Cloth designed them first!”
“Now, we lack evidence to prove they plagiarized Gu Panpan’s work. It looks like Gu Panpan copied from Charm Cloth.”
“If we can’t sell the goods in the warehouse, the losses will be significant!”
“President Fang, the design draft was indeed created by Gu Panpan. Can it be that Gu Panpan made a momentary mistake…”
“No,” Fang Yuan interrupted firmly. “Panpan would never betray the company by doing such a thing!”
“President Fang, are you the worm in her stomach?” Zhao Quan retorted, using Fang Yuan’s words against her. “You can’t judge a book by its cover…”
“I may not be a roundworm in her stomach, but at least my brain isn’t as thin as the air in the highlands,” Fang Yuan replied sharply.
“What do you mean?”
“As expected, you are so obtuse. You can’t even grasp this,” Fang Yuan said straightforwardly. “Have you seen the plagiarist copy all 26 models? It’s impossible, right?”
“You!” Zhao Quan was furious, but he contained his anger. He was convinced that Fang Yuan was on the verge of defeat. Accusing Gu Panpan of plagiarism would undoubtedly lead to severe consequences—compensation for the company’s losses and potential legal consequences. He believed the position of the company’s head would soon be his. Regardless of Fang Yuan’s actions now, he thought it would be futile.
Fang Yuan’s gaze swept across the crowd. “There are only two issues for this meeting. One is my absolute belief that Gu Panpan did not plagiarize.. So here’s the question: She was the one who drew the design draft, so how did her opponent’s company obtain it? Moreover, how did they manage to produce it in advance and promote it so aggressively?”
