Tang Qingzhong had always been puzzled by one question, and asked, "Why did they target Yao sister’s son? Is it because Yao sister is close to us?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Fang Yongxing stared at the belatedly aware Tang Duck with annoyance, "Don’t forget who was the designer of those cups from Zhao Corporation."
Design rights are separate from trademark and patent rights. They protect the rights of the designer. To be precise, design rights are known as copyright.
If the adversaries coerced Yao sister into asserting her copyright over her work, then Zhao Corporation’s merchandise rights would be greatly affected, and even once again directly impact Zhao Corporation’s reputation. This outcome would be serious, especially since Zhao Corporation had already been implicated in a similar case before, and it was something the general public was aware of.
Using this as leverage would be the best strategy.
Thus, those people were not just reckless barbarians, they were also skilled in commercial calculations.
At this point, a light flashed in Tang Qingzhong’s head, and he smacked his forehead, saying, "Strange, how did those people know that the cups from Zhao Corporation were designed by Yao sister?"
That was such an old affair. Many people, including Tang Qingzhong and Fang Yongxing, had almost forgotten about it. If it wasn’t because Gu Nuan had seen those cups in Yao sister’s office and had asked her about them...
Moreover, at that time, this matter was considered a trade secret. If they hadn’t been close to Yao sister, they wouldn’t have known about it.
The only possibility was that it was an inside job, revealed by an employee of Zhao Corporation or someone from Changda who was close to Yao sister.
These people targeting Yao sister wasn’t a recent development; it must have been planned a long time ago, as they were able to tamper with the data disk Fang Yongxing gave to Gu Nuan using Guigui.
"Team leader, if the adversaries have seen that item, what should we do?" asked Tang Qingzhong, who had just realized the gravity of the situation and was afraid.
"Gu Nuan and I anticipated this already, so it’s not a big deal," Fang Yongxing said.
Tang Qingzhong was taken aback. When had they anticipated this?
"Remember the incident at the hospital last time? Those people definitely knew I had something in my possession. With Yao sister frequently visiting me at the hospital, it would be unreasonable for them not to target her."
"So?" Tang Qingzhong asked. Since they had anticipated it, they must have a strategy to counter it, not to be caught so off guard.
Fang Yongxing’s gaze remained steady.
In fact, they had done it on purpose, allowing Yao sister to bring that item to Gu Nuan with a simple objective, to test whether the adversaries were indeed going to target Yao sister. The result was as they expected.
Fang Yongxing’s wife, along with Tang Qingzhong, dared not breathe when they heard this.
Whether it was the brainstorming of Gu Nuan or Fang Yongxing, it was beyond what they could imagine, a completely different realm, a different world.
Fang Yongxing suddenly said to Gu Nuan across the video feed, "Guigui is in their hands, do you have confidence?"
Without hesitation, Gu Nuan replied, "Team leader, you’re already limping, can I let the team leader take action?"
Fang Yongxing let out a hearty laugh and then hung up the phone. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Back then, Gu Nuan was just a newbie, clearly timid in his presence. In just a few short months, she had become so arrogantly confident. This clearly showed that this woman had chosen the right path, allowing herself to grow rapidly and wildly.
At the same time, it also indicated how powerful and terrifying the man behind Gu Nuan was.
