Chapter 81 Relationship Exposed
Today was the day the design department submitted their design drafts. After checking them repeatedly, Tang Wanning handed the drafts to her supervisor, Lina.
In the afternoon, the design director and several senior executives selected the three best proposals and submitted them to Lu Chenyue.
After reviewing it, Lu Chenyue felt there were no problems and could arrange for the client to come and choose a plan tomorrow.
Tang Wanning was extremely excited when she learned that her proposal had been selected. After so long, she had finally proven herself.
On the day of the meeting, the parties involved in the three proposals took turns explaining the design concepts, reasons, and advantages of their proposals.
"Wait a minute, I'd like to ask if this design is your original work?"
Tang Wanning had only just begun when she was interrupted by someone from the client's side.
"Yes, Mr. Duan, these are the design drawings I made myself."
Tang Wanning firmly affirmed that the work was her original creation in response to the other party's doubts.
Upon hearing this, the client's team exchanged glances and then presented an identical set of design drawings to everyone present.
"This is a design draft we received from another design company, and it's completely identical to yours. I don't know which of you copied whom, but I think your company should give us an explanation."
When Tang Wanning saw the design drafts presented by the client, she was stunned. She was certain that her design drafts had not been leaked, and she had not told anyone about her design concepts. Now that two identical designs had appeared, she was speechless.
"Mr. Duan, please be patient, we will definitely give you an explanation."
Those present whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Tang Wanning.
"Tang Wanning, it's one thing that you got into the company's design department through connections, but you even plagiarized other people's designs. How can Lu's Group maintain its foothold in the market if you do this?"
Supervisor Lina couldn't wait to jump out and immediately condemn Tang Wanning.
"Manager, putting aside whether I got the job through connections, regarding the plagiarism issue, you didn't even investigate before assuming I plagiarized. Is this the attitude you should have as a leader?"
Tang Wanning knew that Lina had been targeting her. But she never expected that Lina would so readily smear her own employee in front of outsiders, showing no sense of the bigger picture or ownership.
"You plagiarized and you still think you're right? Our design department doesn't need morally corrupt people like you."
Whether I plagiarized or not is not up to you to decide, nor is it up to you to decide whether I leave or not.
The two were evenly matched, neither willing to give in.
"Enough! Aren't you ashamed?"
The director stood up and stopped the two from arguing.
"Mr. Duan, why don't you go and rest first? We'll give you an explanation once we've investigated the matter."
The director was worried that having outsiders present would negatively impact the company's reputation.
"No need. We're directly connected on this matter. Director Guan, please handle it on-site."
This is a serious matter involving plagiarism. If the final design used in his large-scale townhouse project is of dubious origin, how will he sell his villas?
Unfortunately, Director Guan had no choice but to handle the situation on the spot. He had just informed Lu Chenyue about the matter.
"Tang Wanning, have you revealed this plan to anyone else?"
"No, I've kept it a secret all along. Apart from submitting it to my supervisor yesterday, I assure you no one has seen it before."
"What do you mean? Are you implying that I leaked your design drawings?"
Lina jumped out again upon hearing this.
"I didn't say that. I can't help it if you interpret it that way."
"Even if you didn't plagiarize it, maybe you leaked it yourself?"
"What benefit do I get from leaking my design drawings?"
Tang Wanning was amused by Lina's logic.
"Who knows? Some people will do anything for money."
"you......."
"That's enough. I'm here to see how you've handled things, not to watch you argue. If you can't come up with a conclusion, then we regret to inform you that we have to abandon this collaboration."
The client, Mr. Duan, was also furious. He valued the Lu family's capabilities and wanted to befriend Lu Chenyue. But that didn't mean they could trample on their own interests.
As soon as Mr. Duan said that, the other two people who were also selected became anxious. This was such a big project. If they were selected, not only would their reputation be established, but they would also receive a large bonus. No one wanted to miss this opportunity.
So everyone pointed the finger at Tang Wanning, saying that only her plan went wrong while everyone else's was fine, and even suggesting that she might be a spy sent by the rivals.
Just as Tang Wanning was at a loss for words, the conference room door opened, and Lu Chenyue walked in with Jiang Lin.
"President."
"President Lu."
Everyone present stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Duan, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Lu Chenyue, with a somber face, apologized to the client.
"I trust Mr. Lu, and I hope we can continue this cooperation."
With Lu Chenyue in charge, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.
"You said she deliberately leaked the design drawings, what was her purpose?"
Lu Chenyue turned his attention to Lina.
"But...maybe it's to exchange for money."
Lina had observed Tang Wanning and noticed that she was dressed entirely in cheap clothes from Taobao and commuted to work on an electric scooter. Therefore, Lina concluded that Tang Wanning's family was not wealthy.
"Heh." Lu Chenyue sneered, and it was this sneer that made Lingna's heart clench.
"The entire Lu Corporation is hers if she wants it. You're saying she betrayed the Lu Corporation for a pittance? She drew the design right under my nose, and you're saying she plagiarized?"
Lu Chenyue's words caused an uproar in the room.
What does this mean? Just who is Tang Wanning?
"Mr. Lu... what do you mean by that?"
Lina looked at Lu Chenyue in disbelief. Did he mean what she thought?
Lu Chenyue ignored her and instead glanced at Jiang Lin.
"Mr. Duan, is the company that provided you with this design proposal Yi.Fan?"
"That's right."
Mr. Duan nodded.
"We contacted the boss of Yi.Fan before we came and found out the whole story. Lina, the head of the design department, took advantage of her position to steal Ms. Tang's design drafts and sell them to Yi.Fan's designer at a low price. That designer has confessed to everything, and Yi.Fan has fired her."
Jiang Lin placed all the evidence in front of President Duan and glanced sideways at Lina.
Completely exposed, Lina collapsed to the ground. She never imagined that her attempt to punish an insignificant poor man would backfire so spectacularly, costing her her life.
"Is that so? How outrageous! Miss Tang, I'm sorry, I apologize for my earlier questioning."
To this day, no one at the scene understands the relationship between Tang Wanning and Lu Chenyue. President Duan, being shrewd, didn't care that the other party was just a lowly designer and immediately admitted his mistake and apologized.
This is to give Lu Chenyue face.
Tang Wanning shook her head, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Lina, you're fired. Furthermore, the company will be suing you for leaking confidential documents; just wait for the court summons."
After this incident, Lina's career in the design industry is completely ruined; her reputation is destroyed, and she has to pay a large sum in compensation.
She had worked so hard to get to where she is today, but it was all destroyed by her own jealousy.
Mr. Duan, the client, immediately decided to adopt Tang Wanning's plan, as he wanted to do Lu Chenyue a favor.
"Mr. Duan, thank you for thinking so highly of me. However, after looking at the designs of the other two colleagues, I think you might as well try a variety of styles. After all, everyone's aesthetic is different, and having more options might attract more people."
Tang Wanning didn't want to monopolize the order because of Lu Chenyue's connection. She looked at the other two and they were indeed very good.
"Very good, Miss Tang is not only young and promising, but also so kind. Mr. Lu is very fortunate."
Tang Wanning gave a forced smile.
Upon hearing this, the other two were initially overjoyed, but then looked at Tang Wanning with guilt. They had just attacked her like that, and she had turned around and given them the benefits.
