Chapter 70
"What's wrong, big brother?" Song Xici bent back and pulled his upper body out of Bai Xiaoming's arms, wanting to see Bai Xiaolin's expression.
But Bai Xiaolin held his back tightly, and he couldn't move. He didn't see Bai Xiaolin's expression until Bai Xiaolin let him go.
He still had the usual expression on his face, but Song Xici always felt that his expression was stinky.
Bai Xiaolin was sitting on the sofa watching TV boredly, his attention was not on the TV at all, he was watching the busy Song Xici in the garden.
Although he expanded his garden, Song Xici still only served the small area under the wall in the original small courtyard. While fertilizing the flowers and loosening the soil, he was discussing with the non-existent people next to him.
"Is that so?" He took a small shovel and gently shoveled the soil beside the flower stem, sprinkled a little fertilizer, then covered the soil back, and buried the fertilizer in the soil.
As if he was being praised, he smiled to the side, showing his eight teeth.
The dinner was ordered by Bai Xiaolin. The chef of the restaurant came to the door with four assistants in person, and processed the fresh ingredients in Song Xici's kitchen. Even the kitchen was clean and tidy when he left.
Bai Xiaolin at the dinner table had been fiddling with his mobile phone. While fiddling with it, he observed Song Xici, finally took a deep breath, and sent a message to Bai Xiaoming.
Bai busy superstar Xiaoming scolded Bai Xiaolin for calling him like a dog, without any respect for him, pushed several announcements, and rushed over overnight without stopping.
As soon as Bai Xiaoming arrived, Bai Xiaolin left City A directly, and before leaving, he told Bai Xiaoming to keep an eye on Song Xici.
Song Xici was cooking the only omelet he could afford in the past few years in the kitchen. Bai Xiaoming didn't find anything wrong with Song Xici, so he felt that his eldest brother might be a control freak.
But Song Xici came out of the kitchen and brought three plates, each with two fried eggs and two slices of toast with cheese.
For two people, he made three breakfasts.
"Brother won't be here today." Bai Xiaoming sat down at the table, waiting for Song Xici to pour him milk.
Song Xici came over with three cups and a large bottle of milk. He felt that Bai Xiaoming's words were a bit incomprehensible, but he still replied, "I know the elder brother won't be here, so it's just the three of us having breakfast."
"Three people?" Bai Xiaoming scanned around, but couldn't find where the third person was.
But Song Xici put the first glass of milk in front of the empty place, and even said to that place, "Can I warm it up for you? Can you drink cold milk?"
Bai Xiaoming swallowed with a groan, "Xiaoci, who are you talking to?"
"I don't seem to have formally introduced you to each other." Song Xici pointed to the air next to him, "This is Shen Junzhi, a good friend of mine since childhood." He pointed to Bai Xiaoming again, "This is my second friend." Brother, he is a big star."
Bai Xiaoming's eyes widened, he took out his phone and frantically sent Bai Xiaolin a message, asking him if he knew Song Xici's place was haunted and that's why he asked him to come back.
After sending more than a dozen messages, Bai Xiaolin didn't reply to any of them.
Song Xici had been working on the computer after breakfast, and Bai Xiaoming was bored playing with his mobile phone behind him, and then leaned behind him to see what he was doing.
Song Xici looked at Huo Chengfeng's new products on the Internet. The light pink round rose crystal is engraved with patterns of winding lines. The price is a few hundred yuan, which is actually pretty good.
"Do you like this?" Bai Xiaoming took out his mobile phone to search the store, and found the bracelet Song Xici was looking at from the store, "I'll help you buy one."
"No need, I just took a look." Song Xici closed the computer, "Second brother, what should I do if I want to verify the official account of my studio?"
"It's very simple, just leave it to me." Bai Xiaoming contacted his manager, and gave Song Xici a studio authentication account in the afternoon.
He is actually not a serious studio, and he is the only employee. He is more like a designer of the Bai family, but he wants to certify the studio, and Bai Xiaoming will help him certify the studio, nothing to do I can't do it for my brother.
After Song Xici got the account, he posted all his previous works on the account. In order to increase the popularity, he also touched on a few irrelevant hot topics.
Few people pay attention to the topic of jewelry design, but almost all those who pay attention to this topic are influential people or people in the industry.
Song Xici also published his works from his student days, among which was the pattern design draft that had been authorized by Bai to make wooden jewelry trays.
This wooden jewelry tray is only used in Bai's store, not anywhere else.
But the patterns on the Bai family's special wooden jewelry tray now appear on Huo Chengfeng's new products.
As a leader in the industry, Bai's has received widespread attention in the industry, whether it is store layout or new product releases. Huo Chengfeng's company, as a cutting-edge jewelry design company, naturally cannot avoid publicity.
Especially for new products, the company's external publicity department will vigorously promote them.
Soon someone discovered that the pattern on this new rose crystal was the same as that on Bai's wooden jewelry tray.
Those who pay attention to such details are not consumers but industry insiders. Soon some people raised doubts on the Internet, suspecting that Huo Chengfeng's new products are plagiarized.
Once this kind of plagiarism is brought up, countless people will follow up to investigate it. In less than a day, the plagiarism of Huo Chengfeng's new product design has reached the top of the trending search.
Huo Chengfeng has never come out to deal with this matter, and the publicity department has not made a statement, but online stores and stores are all processing refunds.
They return the money very quickly, but picky netizens feel that this kind of thing should have been done, which does not offset their mistake of plagiarism.
There was a lot of criticism on the Internet, and the public opinion almost overwhelmingly accused plagiarism. Not only did Huo Chengfeng's company lose its reputation, it also faced the risk of shrinking the market.
And because Song Xici had previously authenticated the official account and released the original design draft, countless people left messages under his account to support him in combating plagiarism and safeguarding rights and interests.
Song Xici looked at the messages on the Internet expressionlessly, tapping his fingers on the small round table in front of him.
Bai Xiaoming looked at him very cautiously, and looked around him from time to time, for fear that Song Xici would be haunted by ghosts again, but Song Xici didn't talk to the air again, but remained a little strangely silent.
The steaming rose tea in his hand gradually turned cold. Song Xici held it with one hand and didn't take a sip. He silently flipped through Weibo comments for several hours. He suddenly asked Bai Xiaoming, "Second brother, if you Someone has used despicable means to bully you, but it has been a long time, would you still choose revenge?"
Bai Xiaoming replied without the slightest hesitation, "Of course, don't say that time has passed, even if we meet in the next life, if I still have memories, I will take revenge over and over again. There is no need for despicable people." It matters so much."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, hissed, "Xiaoci, did someone bully you? Who is it? Second brother beat you up."
"No need for second brother, I'll beat him up myself." Song Xici smiled, Bai Xiaoming's words seemed to give him some kind of strength, making him make up his mind, he went out and called the lawyer.
The pattern carved on the rose crystal was provided by Huo Chengfeng. When it was revealed that the plagiarism was discovered, the foreign propaganda department contacted him immediately, wanting to clarify, but Huo Chengfeng didn't say anything.
After the minister of foreign propaganda reported the situation, he didn't even give an explanation, but only offered a refund plan.
What they are losing the most now is not the input cost of this batch of goods at all, but the irreparable reputation. Without explaining the plagiarism, just returning the goods for a refund is simply a drop in the bucket.
"Mr. Huo, we should explain this matter of plagiarism. Can you explain the situation? Now our company is not very popular in public opinion. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, its shareholders may have opinions. "The minister of foreign propaganda carefully suggested.
But Huo Chengfeng still didn't say it. In fact, he had no way to explain what he could explain with just one photo. Besides, this was Song Xici's revenge, and it was the retribution he should have suffered in the first place.
His silence is undoubtedly a catalyst for intensifying suspicion. The atmosphere in the company has not been good these days, especially the legal department has also received a notice that the company has been sued for this incident.
With the development of the matter until now, the reputation of Huo Chengfeng's company has basically bottomed out, but Huo Chengfeng has not explained yet, and the employees have no intention of working these days, and they are all worried that the company will go downhill because of this incident.
The shareholders who didn't care about the matter couldn't sit still anymore, and the convener asked to hold a general meeting of shareholders in the company.
Huo Chengfeng sat in the office, playing with his lighter for a while, the office was very quiet, only the metallic sound of the lighter opening and closing.
He was waiting for Song Xici's call, but he never got it. Instead, he waited for Miss Secretary to inform him that it was time to attend the shareholders' meeting.
There are not many shareholders in their company, and Huo Chengfeng only has six, and the other five are basically the bosses of other companies, and he was the one who persuaded them to invest one by one.
These people are used to being decision makers, and they frowned when they saw Huo Chengfeng's lack of energy.
One of the major shareholders took the lead to say: "This time is a major mistake under your leadership, and it's your own mistake, Mr. Huo, what do you say?"
Huo Chengfeng didn't reply, he sat down on his seat slowly, and lit a cigarette in a bad mood, "Boss bottomed out, Mr. Xiao is so nervous, the company is losing money, and I'm the biggest victim."
"You can still say something like this when you made it yourself, and even copied the patterns that others have used, and it's still from the Bai family. What do you think?" The man called Mr. Xiao said angrily: " What does your attitude mean now? It wasn’t the attitude when you came to attract investment.”
"Hedong in 30 years, Hexi in 30 years, Feng Shui turns around." Huo Chengfeng pressed the cigarette butt on the table, "Let's hold the meeting here, I still have something to do."
Huo Chengfeng left without waiting for their consent. The secretary's face was full of worry, "Mr. Huo, what you're doing will only anger them, and it's not good for the company."
"I know." Huo Chengfeng responded.
He returned to the office, and after relaxing, he was no longer as arrogant as he was at the shareholders meeting, and he sat tiredly on the sofa in the office.
What Song Xici gave him this time was a huge blow, not only for the company, but also for Huo Chengfeng to see clearly that Song Xici had almost no nostalgia for him.
