At that moment, Xia Ruya was wearing the Wen Corporation’s newly released clothing line and brought along with her an aggressive group of journalists. It was obvious why she came, it needed no words.
Their newly released clothing had yet to hit the markets, so what did it mean for Xia Ruya to be wearing it?
Wen Corporation’s new clothing designs had already been leaked. The Li Corporation had rushed to release the same clothing as the Wen Corporation before they did, and if she was not wrong, to deal with the Wen Corporation, this set of clothing was already selling in Harbor City.
Her methods were exactly the same as when Lu Bingxin accused Gu Yihan of copying, where the only difference was when it happened.
Back then, Gu Yihan had a great reputation. Hence, no one would believe the Li Corporation. However, these new designs were by the Wen Corporation’s newer designers, and this would cause speculation and doubt that the Wen Corporation had copied the Li Corporation’s new clothing line.
Wen Xinya carefully analyzed the style of the clothes that Xia Ruya had on and discovered with her sharp eyes that it was the version before the final amendment. Although it was similar to the Wen Corporation’s final release, the style was slightly different.
Therefore, the designs were leaked out during that period.
Wen Xinya’s face was ugly. She was right in her guess that there was a spy in the department. This time, she took extra care in designing and amending to avoid it being leaked out, but it happened anyway.
She could see how deep this person was hidden in the department.
At that moment, the journalists had Xia Ruya and Wen Xinya surrounded, and the shutters of the camera kept sounding, while their lights kept flashing.
“Miss Wen, today is the Wen Corporation’s press release, it’s not so good for you to resort to violence to treat your esteemed guests, right!”
Xia Ruya calmly stood in front of Wen Xinya and took the initiative to talk first. Although she was small and looked gentle, her aura was not any weaker than Wen Xinya’s.
Today’s trap was carefully set by her for Wen Xinya, in hopes of baiting her.
Wen Xinya could never have thought that the Wen Corporation’s retaliatory move would become a scandal that would cause the Wen Corporation to undergo yet another period of storm.
Wen Xinya retorted. “Ah, as an uninvited guest who forced her way in, Miss Xia?”
She felt sick looking at what Xia Ruya was wearing.
Xia Ruya’s move was to make her lose face in public and cause the Wen Corporation to be in a tough spot. Her intentions were toxic indeed.
Xia Ruya revealed a weak smile. “Based on what I see, I guess Miss Wen is feeling guilty! There’s nothing to be proud of for copying the Li Corporation’s newly released clothing line.”
Her words sent everyone around into shock and caused an uproar.
Journalists took even more photographs of the two of them.
Bai Ling and a couple of other new designers looked on with shock and felt a bolt from the blue. They clearly worked hard to design these clothes, so how did it become a copy?
Wen Xinya looked on calmly. “Xia Ruya, did water get into your brain or am I crazy? No matter how desperate the Wen Corporation is, we would not let the Li Corporation have a hold over us. You are clearly here to spoil my show and take the chance to attack us.”
Wen Xinya was clear in her words and emphasised on the important points. Everyone could see that this was just a fight between the two companies, and copying was just a minor issue.
Xia Ruya laughed. “Then, how do you explain the Wen Corporation’s newly released clothing line is the same as the ones that the Li Corporation had already been selling in Harbor City? Regardless of style or type, they are seventy to eighty percent similar, so don’t tell me that it’s just a coincidence, and don’t tell me that it’s us who copied you.”
For Xia Ruya, her main goal was to stop the Wen Corporation from properly releasing their new clothing line while delivering a blow to them. This would cause them to suffer heavy losses, and to be accused of plagiarism, further ruining their reputation.
In fact, everyone already knew that this copying was simply a method for these two companies to fight it out.
However, even if that was the case, they had indeed copied the other party’s work. This would definitely cause a commotion in the masses, and the Wen Corporation, who released the new clothing line later than the Li Corporation did, would definitely be the target of attacks.
Wen Xinya said, “I wouldn’t be too sure.”
Since she was already face to face with Xia Ruya, she could not back down so easily.
“Hehe! This is absurd. The Wen Corporation has been relying on Gu Yihan for years to dominate Country Z’s clothing market. Without her, are there even any good designers in the Wen Corporation?”
Xia Ruya coldly laughed as she took a jab at the Wen Corporation’s old wounds, with a heavy tone of mockery on her face. It was as if whatever Wen Xinya said was just a joke, and her words were taken for real by the people around.
Xia Ruya continued, “This time, the Wen Corporation’s designs were all by fresh designers that aren’t even well-known. One of them, called Bai Ling, has just graduated from university and joined the Wen Corporation for less than two years. How could someone like this design something that could match up to that of a internationally renowned designer? This is simply out of the question. Wen Xinya, the masses can see for themselves, please don’t treat them as idiots.”
Based on this, Xia Ruya believed that no one would trust that Wen Corporation’s new designers could come up with such quality products, which meant that the Wen Corporation copied it.
Right now, the Wen Corporation had a bad reputation where they lost the trust and heart of the people. For them to rise up again was not easy at all.
“Whether they could do it is not determined by what you say, or what anyone else says. Bai Ling has to show it for herself. Since she’s here, why not let Bai Ling design a piece right now and let everyone see whether the Wen Corporation has the ability to design something better than internationally renowned designers.”
This was the reason why Wen Xinya was willing to accept Xia Ruya’s challenge, as she was led step by step into the trap set for her.
It was to let Xia Ruya talk about the new designers and then have Bai Ling design something right on the spot.
There was about a fifty percent chance for Bai Ling to design something better than internationally renowned pieces. So long as there was something special about her design that could be acknowledged by the people present, then the Wen Corporation would not be accused of plagiarism.
Therefore, no matter what, she had to take the gamble.
Xia Ruya was a little shocked. She never expected that Wen Xinya would dig a hole for her to jump straight into, and her expression began to change.
