At this moment, Shen Qinglin raised her hand to rub her brow.
Once again, she thought of the man named Lu Yanlin, and couldn’t help feeling a wave of sadness, "Mai En, you can go out. I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay, mom, call me if you need anything."
This weekend, Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou went to select a wedding dress.
The custom-made wedding gown had already been air-shipped, and the two went to try it on. Currently, Tang Xi still felt somewhat dazed; it wasn’t that she hadn’t seen Fu Tingzhou in a suit before.
But she had only seen him wear a white suit twice.
The last time she saw Fu Tingzhou in a white suit was four years ago at his engagement party with Shu Mengshu.
And now, his eyes were filled with her.
Standing in front of the mirror, the staff were helping them adjust their clothes.
Fu Tingzhou gazed at Tang Xi.
She was wearing makeup today, unlike her usual barefaced look.
The makeup wasn’t heavy, but her originally delicate face was even more beautiful, in her pure haute couture wedding gown, she looked like a goddess from the forest.
The sight he had dreamed of.
Suddenly, a few fragments of memory flashed through Fu Tingzhou’s mind.
In the midst of thick jungle, Tang Xi had been by his side, calling his name, urging him not to fall asleep.
Fu Tingzhou clenched her hand tightly.
At the same time, he was also happy in his heart; at last, he had started to recall some memories about her.
"We will go to take our wedding photos tomorrow. Everything has been set," Fu Tingzhou whispered in her ear as he leaned down.
The warmth from the man’s breath tickled Tang Xi’s earlobe, and she dodged a little, "We are almost getting married, it might not be appropriate for me to still be living at Longshan Villa. Plus, Tang Mom has just been brought back home, and I want to live together with Tang Mom."
Fu Tingzhou nodded, "That’s also good."
At this moment, Tang Xi’s mobile phone rang.
Fang Yuan was her assistant and knew that she was going to try on wedding dresses today, so he wouldn’t call about insignificant matters, especially on a Saturday which was a day off. As soon as she saw that it was Fang Yuan calling, she didn’t hesitate to answer, "Hello, Fang Yuan, what happened?"
"Sister Tang, check out the WeChat message I forwarded to you. The new collection that Menglai Jewelry launched the day before yesterday is almost exactly the same as your ’Winter Romance’ series. Menglai Jewelry released their products very quickly, and although they are cheap, the designs are nearly identical."
Tang Xi immediately took out her phone, and she looked at the message on WeChat.
Indeed, the styles were nearly identical!
Only the occasional detail had been altered!
Fu Tingzhou, who was on one side, looked at Tang Xi’s expression, "Don’t worry yet, I’ll have Shen Duan look into it."
Tang Xi frowned slightly, "This is definitely my design, but I’ve never shown it to anyone else. After I finished designing it, I opened a meeting and then had an internal preview, just our design department staff were present. The new product was supposed to be launched in the week after next."
"Menglai Jewelry, Su Kangrong’s company." Tang Xi pressed her lips together, "I don’t want to speculate maliciously, but this is just too abnormal."
Fang Yuan sent a voice message, "The design seems to be by the design director of Menglai Jewelry, Ji Xue. I’ve seen Ji Xue’s previous designs, and it’s not this style at all."
Tang Xi was certain that Menglai Jewelry did it deliberately!
She quickly changed out of the wedding dress, and Fu Tingzhou drove her back to the Fu Corporation. She urgently called for a meeting with the entire design department staff.
Jiang Wangyue also learned about the incident.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense.
Tang Xi’s expression was grave, "I suspect that my design draft has been plagiarized."
It wasn’t a suspicion, but a certainty!
Jiang Wangyue’s gaze swept around, almost all staff from design department 2 had arrived, and with a stern face, Jiang Wangyue said, "I did not expect such an incident to happen in our department. There are only a few people who could have accessed Director Tang’s design drafts. I hope you will come forward and confess voluntarily. The company departments will immediately conduct a strict investigation. This constitutes a serious case of commercial theft, and once discovered, not only will you be completely out of the industry, but you’ll also face legal action."
People looked at each other in dismay.
At this time, a colleague who usually didn’t like Tang Xi muttered under her breath, "Maybe Director Tang is calling thief while being the thief herself."
No one dared to agree.
Jiang Wangyue looked displeased, and as she was about to get angry, Tang Xi slowly stood up, her voice cool, raspy but firm, "Your theory is indeed possible, and I will also prove my innocence. Within three days, we will coordinate with the investigation department of the Fu Corporation to find out who stole my drafts and gave them to Menglai Jewelry. Menglai released their collection earlier, a cheap imitation of one-to-one, a small jewelry company pre-empting the market, this is a big loss for us. My drafts were stolen, and I was completely unaware, I failed to protect it, I cannot shirk the blame."
