She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Su Maiqi was a little speechless. "∞" is a universal symbol, not exclusive to MISS Y, nor was it designed by MISS Y. Of course, anyone can use it.

The two works are completely different in appearance and design concept! You can't just accuse someone of plagiarism just because they share the same "∞" symbol.

This is clearly outrageous! If this counts as plagiarism, then there are no original products in the world.

Isn't design simply about taking existing elements, recombinating them, giving them new meaning, and creating new products?

Does originality mean creating entirely new elements out of thin air?

Su Maiqi first complained in her heart, but the pressure of the so-called plagiarism gradually subsided. Proving that there was no plagiarism was not a difficult thing at all.

But the next second he suddenly realized that something was definitely amiss!

The plagiarism accusation is so far-fetched, yet its impact is so vast, even trending on social media, which further suggests that it was intentional and premeditated.

The timing was also clever; Chenxing's new product had been released some time ago, and the delivery time was just after the Chinese New Year.

If this timing is affected, Chenxing will suffer heavy losses and may even find it difficult to recover.

Moreover, with the Lunar New Year approaching, many companies and organizations have already closed for the holidays. Chenxing's efforts to prove his innocence and reverse public opinion will be affected in terms of both time and efficiency.

Even a two-day delay would affect the official launch of this new product. And even if Chenxing is later proven innocent, so what?

Everyone just said "Oh," and that was it.

But what about the impact on Chenxing? Valentine's Day only comes once a year, as does the Lunar New Year. If the product launch wasn't successful, they've already lost in terms of momentum if they want to make a comeback.

This is going to be a tough battle! We must be quick, accurate, and ruthless!

Only in this way can we eliminate malicious competition from rivals and minimize the impact of the incident.

It would be even better if we could take this opportunity to crush our competitors.

Soon, everyone had read all the trending topics and started discussing the key points and solutions.

The brand director of the marketing department spoke first: "I have seen the news online and the so-called evidence of plagiarism, which is obviously unfounded and fabricated."

Our new product pre-sales far exceeded expectations, and it will be launched smoothly as planned, which will solidify Chenxing's position in the high-end customization market.

At this critical juncture, the aggressive negative rumors surrounding Chenxing are likely malicious sabotage by competitors to disrupt our product launch plans.

Everyone nodded in agreement; such practices are not uncommon in the jewelry industry.

A few years ago, there was a brand that was doing quite well at the time. But at the crucial moment of launching a new product, it was smeared, which caused the product to fail to take off.

Although the company later proved its innocence, the opportunity was too good to pass up. Since the product failed to capture the market at the beginning, it was difficult to expand it further.

This company later sued a competitor who maliciously defamed it, but the case ultimately came to nothing due to insufficient evidence.

Because of the large investment in new product research and development and production, and the subsequent sales not keeping up, the company's cash flow broke down, and it gradually declined; the boss later closed the company and cashed out to retire.

It's truly regrettable.

Therefore, the marketing manager suggested that the key to handling this crisis is to seize the initiative in public opinion and to speak out immediately to express the company's stance:

"There is absolutely no plagiarism. We will use legal means to protect the company's reputation."

Then gather evidence to prove innocence. Even better would be to find the originator of the rumors and target them precisely.

Logically, of course there is no problem.

But Su Maiqi knew this approach wouldn't work. The courts were closed for the Lunar New Year. Lawyers certainly wouldn't be as efficient as usual.

Releasing a statement at this juncture is standard procedure, but just because you said it doesn't mean netizens will believe you.

The opposing side is coming on strong, clearly having hired a lot of online trolls and is well-prepared for this operation; when the online debate between the pros and cons becomes a mess, even if many netizens don't believe that Chenxing plagiarized, it won't change the overall trend.

By the time the Lunar New Year is over and legal procedures are used to prove Chenxing's innocence, it will be too late.

The entire marketing plan for the new product launch was ruined.

Just as everyone was discussing how to write the first statement to better win consumer trust, Su Maiqi suddenly spoke up:

"The company's reputation is very important, and it is necessary to use legal means to protect the company's reputation and crack down on those who spread rumors. But right now, the most important thing is to ensure that the launch plan for the new product is not affected."

Even if Chenxing speaks out now, it's unlikely to change market opinion immediately. On the contrary, it might embolden malicious rumor-mongers, making public opinion even more chaotic, which would be detrimental to our current marketing plan.

We must now find a decisive way to completely reverse public opinion. Then we can proceed with legal action gradually.

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Everyone knows Su Maiqi is right. But what method can be used to deliver a fatal blow and completely reverse public opinion?

This is too difficult!

If a method cannot find a concrete action plan to implement it and make it effective in reality, then it can only be called empty talk!

The marketing department's online promotion specialist hesitated before speaking: "They probably have a lot of online trolls on their side. No matter what we say, we'll probably have to fight it out for a while..."

"Yes, that's right. The other side came prepared and won't let us off easily. As the parties involved, whatever we say is likely to cause controversy, because if you're defending yourself, the other side will have the opportunity to find loopholes and continue attacking."

However, this matter involves rumors of plagiarism of MISS Y's work; if MISS Y herself can speak out and deny the plagiarism, no one will be able to question it.

Even if there are many online trolls, their voices are untenable and may even be attacked spontaneously by netizens, thus giving us absolute control over public opinion.

Upon hearing this, almost everyone in the conference room was stunned!

The method is certainly not wrong: let the party whose work was plagiarized, the one who is rightfully in charge, speak out. Especially with MISS Y's status in the industry, that will definitely be able to quell public opinion.

How could we possibly get Miss Y to speak up for Chenxing? That's nothing short of a pipe dream! Not to mention, we're competitors, and she has no obligation to help us.

Miss Y is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the jewelry industry. She has never made a public appearance, and all that is known is that she is a woman, but even her age is unknown.

She has never attended any public events, nor has she revealed her identity. She doesn't even post on Weibo very often.

Su Maiqi understood everyone's worries and doubts, and calmly said, "Give me half a day to try. I have a connection with Miss Y by chance, and I am able to get in touch with her."
