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

The next afternoon, Su Maiqi was somewhat surprised to see Gu Tingyu at the company.

He rarely comes to the company, or even almost never. Meetings with senior management are usually conducted via video conference, or he sends someone to his office at the Emerald Pearl Hotel.

He brought Mo Yan to the company in the afternoon and they went into the general manager's office. After a while, the general manager called all the department managers to the conference room for a meeting.

Now everyone knows that Su Maiqi is the president's wife. Today is also the first time the president has held a meeting in the company's conference room, so everyone can't help but take a second look at them.

Although the two didn't have much private interaction, they did seem quite well-matched. Since this was a work setting, no one thought much of it.

Su Maiqi also secretly observed Gu Tingyu. He looked normal, having returned to his usual seriousness and indifference, just like a typical domineering CEO.

Su Maiqi felt that she could finally relax.

During this period, she and her boss had a good relationship, both at work and in life.

Even though the two had crossed the line of physical intimacy, it did not affect their contract.

Gu Tingyu is a man with a strong sense of contractual responsibility. His trust in Su Maiqi at work is based on his professional judgment.

In their personal lives, although they were only "contractual couples," he fulfilled all the responsibilities and obligations of a "husband."

Of course, this is part of the script, and to maximize the dramatic effect, the lead actor must do his job and bring the "role" to life.

But Su Maiqi could sense that Gu Tingyu also had a warm side, especially when her mother left, Gu Tingyu actually gave her a lot of support.

Su Maiqi was very grateful for this support, so in her "position," she would do her best to take care of Gu Tingyu's feelings and meet his needs.

She thought it was a good thing; there were rules, but also mutual kindness and warmth.

She enjoys this relaxed relationship and is willing to do her best to fulfill her responsibilities in both her work and personal life roles.

But last night's scene gave her a strange sense of crisis.

The awkwardness between the two of them, their desperate attempts to pretend, all made her feel exhausted.

Su Maiqi wasn't familiar with that side of Gu Tingyu, nor was she familiar with that side of herself. She was a little afraid that this collaboration would go off track and become uncontrollable, or that it wouldn't be able to continue.

Now everything's alright, we're finally back on track. Su Maiqi breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the conference room, Gu Tingyu presented the evidence directly.

One source is the earliest origin of the online rumor. Within an hour, the rumor that Chenxing plagiarized MISS Y was published on different platforms and accounts, including Weibo, Toutiao, Baidu, Douyin and other platforms.

However, the owners behind all the different accounts were found to be the same person: Sun Mou.

The second piece of evidence is a photocopy of a household registration booklet, which shows that Sun's older sister is Sun Jing. Sun Jing was the key figure in the previous Shen's Jewelry plagiarism case who obtained Su Maiqi's design drafts from Wang Qiang.

As soon as these two pieces of evidence were presented, whispers and discussions immediately broke out in the conference room.

"It's the Shen family again!"

"How can such a large company like Shen's always resort to such despicable methods!"

"Last time, the Shen family wasn't seriously injured, but we can't be lenient this time."

"While this matter is currently generating a lot of buzz, let's drag the Shen family into this and deliver a fatal blow to them."

"Yes, the Shen family has shot themselves in the foot, giving us an opportunity instead."

Gu Tingyu watched everyone discuss coldly without saying a word. This was the effect he wanted, and it was also the reason why he rushed to the meeting today.

He and Mo Yan were busy for half a day after getting up early this morning.

Mo Yan's family has the most advanced and high-end computer system in China, and both of them are actually hidden computer experts.

No matter how they change their aliases or IDs, they always find a way to pinpoint the real "mastermind."

Following the clues to Sun Jing, it became clear that she was inextricably linked to the Shen family.

This reasoning is certainly sound, but without any evidence, how could the Shen family possibly accept it?

The previous theft and resale of Su Maiqi's design drafts also involved a design company; it seems that Sun Jing and the Shen family do not have direct contact.

However, Sun Mou and Sun Jing, the siblings, have extensive connections in the jewelry and design industries. They don't follow the conventional path; they make money through unorthodox means, but they are very capable.

In the last incident, Shen's design company ultimately took full responsibility. Shen's used the designs provided by the design company and was completely unaware of the plagiarism, making them, in a sense, victims as well.

Moreover, by the time the incident occurred, the peak sales season for the product had already passed.

Ultimately, the court determined that Shen was unaware of the situation and only had to pay some compensation and be ordered to stop selling the products; the damage was not severe, and the court even gained some sympathy from the public.

The design company went out of business, and it was later said that the whole family emigrated abroad.

According to Gu Tingyu's investigation, the money this family used for immigration was also suspicious. They weren't exactly wealthy to begin with, and after this lawsuit, they had to pay Chenxing a considerable sum of money.

This amount of money is nothing to Chenxing, but for a small design company, it's basically the sum of their entire resources.

Under such circumstances, the fact that they could still afford to spend a large sum of money to immigrate suggests that the financial backer behind them is most likely the Shen family.

There's likely something fishy about the previous lawsuit. If the Shen family had no knowledge of the plagiarism, they wouldn't have been so generous.

Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Gu Tingyu finally spoke up: "Everyone is right. Chenxing is now Shen's Jewelry's biggest competitor in Yuncheng."

Now is the most intense time of competition. Once one side can gain an absolute leading advantage and establish a firm foothold, the gap between the brands will widen, and the subsequent development will be on a completely different level.

That's why Shen's Jewelry keeps resorting to unconventional methods, but this has given us an excellent opportunity. After all, the two companies are of similar strength, and if they rely entirely on market competition, it will probably be difficult to widen the gap in the short term.

But now the Shen family has given us an opportunity. If we can seize it and completely ruin the brand image of Shen's Jewelry, it will be a devastating blow.

Su Maiqi immediately understood why Gu Tingyu was in such a hurry and even came to the company for a meeting in person.

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to suppress the Shen family and elevate Chenxing's brand status to a higher level.

But this opportunity may be fleeting. The surge of traffic brought by MISS Y is the perfect chance to overwhelm the opponent with the criticism of the masses and consumers, leaving them powerless to fight back.
