Chapter 400: Lawsuit Begins Invitation to the Academy of Arts and Sciences
The opening of the court attracted the attention of many people, as all kinds of media reporters were squatting outside the court. Various live-stream channels were opened.
Originally, not many people paid attention to such copyright infringement cases involving secret formulas.
However, the manager of Jiayin’s publicity department was a “ghostly” talent. He had always been good at using various social hot news events and hot figures to promote Jiayin Corporation’s products.
In a previous contract dispute with a certain Best Actor, the publicity department of Jiayin had used the great popularity of the Best Actor to spread the news reports everywhere. In the end, everyone who followed this case knew about the new product of Jiayin Corporation.
This time, they did the same thing and did all sorts of publicity in the early stages.
“Why did Xiafeng Corporation take the initiative to acquire it?” “Xia Wanyuan actually endorsed the theft of the product?” “Who will win the fight between Xiafeng Jia Yin” and other news reports were promoted to the market one after another.
Many people held the mentality of watching the fun, as well as some fans in the entertainment industry who paid attention to Xia Wanyuan, quietly watched the drama between these two families.
The number of people in the live-stream gradually increased.
Until Xia Wanyuan appeared on the scene in a black suit, the number of viewers in the live-stream soared to the highest.
Xia Wanyuan had just pushed open the car door when many microphones were handed to her. A group of reporters surrounded her like crazy.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the reporters who were about to squeeze onto her and frowned slightly.
Tang Yin casually took a microphone from the side and switched on the microphone. “Please maintain a distance of two meters from us. I believe everyone came here to film the news and not to enter the court as the accused, right?”
Under Tang Yin’s unyielding tone, the reporters stepped back hesitantly, but they still surrounded the car tightly.
Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open a little, and her black high heels stepped on the ground.
Xia Wanyuan had her long hair scattered behind her back today. A black suit made her look valiant. She walked out of the car and stood at the door.
With just a simple glance, Xia Wanyuan, who had ink-black hair and red lips, made everyone present submit from the bottom of their hearts.
Xia Wanyuan walked forward with a cold expression.
“Miss Xia, may I know why you’re here today? What do you think of the copyright infringement of Bai Xiang Company?” A reporter suddenly threw a question in the silence.
Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the question. The bold reporter was now trembling.
“Xiafeng Corporation has just bought over Bai Xiang Corporation, so why can’t I come? As for the infringement you mentioned, the court has not even ruled it out. Why must everyone decide so early?”
After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she continued to walk out.
With every step she took, everyone consciously took a step back. There were so many reporters and staff present, yet they actually watched Xia Wanyuan walk into the court quietly.
And the way she walked, everyone consciously stood as if they were escorting and submitting to her.
[ Oh my god, putting aside the lousy matter between her and Bai Xiang Corporation, I like this face too much. Sister is too valiant. I love her so much!!!! ]
[ Sister’s high heels are not on the ground. They’re on my heart. ]
[ I want to be pressed against the wall by Xia Wanyuan and kissed. Boohoo, boohoo, beautiful and A, amazing! ]
[ Hello, is this a chicken stall?? I have a few chickens I caught. Do you want them? ]
[ Hello, I’m from the chicken cutlet shop. We have too many chickens in our shop to finish roasting. I suggest you make a big plate of chicken on the spot. ]
When Xia Wanyuan completely entered the court and they could not even see her back, the reporters realized what they had come for and hurriedly followed her into the court.
As the plaintiff, the large legal team of Jiayin Corporation displayed all sorts of evidence directly. The reporters recorded it one after another, and the audience in the comments also felt that Jiayin Corporation would definitely win this round.
“Alright, the plaintiff’s statement is over. Does the defendant have any more questions?”
“Of course.” The legal affairs of Bai Xiang Company, who had been timid when the court first began, were now full of vigor and appeared to be confident. “Everyone, please take a look at this recording.”
The cameraman clicked on the video and showed a person who had appeared as a “witness”. He crouched down and snuck into Bai Xiang Corporation’s safe. After stealing the formula, he even met with Jiayin Corporation in a very hidden place.
Jun Shiling’s people followed the clues and found this place, then found the surveillance video.
By the time the video was played, the entire court was in an uproar, and the faces of the people from Jiayin Corporation had already turned green.
They would never have thought that the surveillance camera could be restored after being destroyed to such a state.
Next, Bai Xiang Corporation released a lot of evidence and relevant witnesses.
An hour later, the judge announced in court that Jiayin had lost the copyright infringement case.
The point of watching the beverage industry giants and small companies play a game and end up being tragically defeated was much better than the victory of Jiayin Corporation.
Hence, these media reporters that Jiayin Corporation had spent a lot of money to hire became knives that stabbed themselves, making one’s heart ache.
However, at this moment, Jiayin Corporation no longer had the ability to care about the news reports. They were worried about how terrifying the loss of ten times the orders would be.
Because they had infringed on rights, this large batch of products would be dealt with. Just the compensation would greatly damage the vitality of Jiayin Corporation.
On the contrary, Bai Xiang Corporation had made a killing. Because Jiayin Corporation had helped them open up the market channels in advance, the market demand was huge.
Since the manufacturers could not get the goods from Jiayin, they turned to Xiafeng Group.
Just because of this plum beverage, Xia Wanyuan had earned nearly twenty million dollars. She had truly made a profit and was a legend in the industry.

Every painting of Yuan Wanxia had poetry. Some literary lovers had specially studied the poems on it and realized that they could not be found in historical records. They suspected that Yuan Wanxia had created them herself.
Professor Zhang himself had such doubts. With the doubts of his friends from the liberal arts academy, he ran to ask Xia Wanyuan and received an affirmative answer.
Xia Wanyuan was considered one of the few women in the Xia Dynasty who had read many books. Even the imperial teacher had praised Xia Wanyuan for her talent in poetry.
Upon hearing the news brought back by Professor Zhang, his old friend from the liberal arts academy had some thoughts.
They were still sorting out many ancient texts and classics. If Yuan Wanxia was really quite proficient in poetry, it would be very beneficial for their work to have such a person to help give them some advice.
