Next door, Xia Yu threw the grilled squid away after entering the house. Thinking of the embarrassing scene just now, Xia Yu silently covered his face.

In the WeChat group of the Four Great Generals, Xia Yu, who had been silent for a long time, appeared.

Xia Yu: Brothers, come out quickly. What do you think is the personality of a woman with short hair and a suit?

Yang Lin: Yo yo yo, Xia Yu, has romance come? Which girl? Do you have a photo for us? 

Su Mei: Xia Yu, your taste is a little unique. I thought you liked soft girls, but I didn’t expect you to be so fierce. Listening to your description, I feel that this girl must be a ruthless person. 

Zhang Zhe: Is Xia Yu going to be taken? Let’s not talk anymore. Congratulations. When are you going to treat us to a meal?

Xia Yu: …

He did not expect that after half a year, his roommates were still as unreliable as ever.

After Zou Man joined Camellia, the few fashion shows she organized were very popular. With Camellia and the Jiang family helping to encourage the situation,

over the past few days, Zou Man had been in the limelight.

Zou Man’s studio intended to make her a celebrity designer in China, so they used all sorts of methods to attract fans for her. Now, Zou Man’s fans had far surpassed some ordinary celebrities and she was very popular on the Internet.

It was almost spring, and the new spring outfits designed by Zou Man were popular.

At this moment, Xiu Yi had also begun the production and sales of spring fashion.

Xiu Yi’s factory was set up in Jiangnan. There, Xiu Yi owned several huge embroidery industry bases. Every time Xiu Yi’s headquarters distributed the design to the factory, the factory would begin physical processing. After the factory made the clothes, Xiu Yi’s physical and online flagship store would sell them.

It was the same process this time, but when the clothes were placed on the shelves, there was a problem.

This was because there was an additional design that the main store did not distribute.

The staff hurriedly reported. The main shop had just begun to investigate what went wrong.

Someone had already told them the answer on Weibo.

@ Zou Man Studio: “We received a report that a fashion brand stole Zou Man’s design idea. We have already taken legal measures to defend our rights. Please @ Xiu Yi Company stop the infringement immediately.”

The accompanying picture was a design blueprint for Zou Man’s early participation in the competition. Beside it was a detailed picture of Xiu Yi’s new clothes. Although the style of the clothes was different, on the pattern, folds, and colors, it was obvious that the two pictures were similar.

[Erm, isn’t this Zou Man’s work when she was very young? It’s been a long time.]

[Even if I don’t know fashion design, I can tell that Xiu Yi copied Zou Man’s design. It’s too low-class.]

[Hahaha, I knew it. Can’t she just be the wife of the richest man? Why must she sell the character of a genius designer? She screwed up now. Hurry up and look for her. Maybe Xia Wanyuan’s other works are also plagiarized by others. She doesn’t even let go of children’s designs. Crazy.]

In the fashion design industry, Zou Man had been famous for a long time and was too dazzling. With such evidence, everyone naturally believed that Xia Wanyuan had plagiarized Zou Man’s design.

Xiu Yi immediately removed the related products, but it still could not stop the netizens’ bad comments.

Originally, Camellia’s business was bleak because of Xiu Yi’s rise. Now, Xiu Yi’s reputation quickly fell, and Camellia made a lot of money.

“Baby, your idea is really good.” Jiang Kui hugged Zou Man and kissed her moist red lips.

“Hmph.” Zou Man punched Jiang Kui’s chest. “You didn’t look for me for so long. You forgot about me now that you have a fiancée.”

“What fiancée?” At the mention of Wei Jin, Jiang Kui was angry. “Is that woman worthy? I don’t want broken shoes that others have worn.”

Hearing Jiang Kui’s words, Zou Man’s eyes lit up. “In that case, you don’t have to marry Wei Jin?”

“Mm.” Jiang Kui stroked Zou Man’s waist. “Are you happy?”

“Of course I’m happy.” Zou Man hugged Jiang Kui’s shoulder. “Then, when are you going to marry me?”

When Zou Man said this, Jiang Kui’s hand paused. “What’s the hurry? Didn’t you use my money casually? What perfume did you use today that smells so good?”

Knowing that Jiang Kui was changing the topic, Zou Man could only smile and agree.

In everyone’s eyes, she came from a rich family, but only those who had truly stepped into the circle of nobles knew.

Their family was at most a little rich. In front of rich families like the Jiang family and the Jun family, they were worlds apart.

Zou Man had finally gotten together with Jiang Kui. She knew very well that Jiang Kui had never thought of marrying her. Jiang Kui wanted to marry a woman who could help him consolidate his status.

Initially, she felt that it was acceptable to be a mistress, but when she saw Xia Wanyuan, a woman like Xia Wanyuan could be the mistress of the Jun Corporation, why couldn’t she, Zou Man, do the same?

As Zou Man welcomed Jiang Kui’s kiss, she wondered how she could successfully make Jiang Kui publicize her.

“Bo Xiao, what mission is so urgent?” An Rao sat on the sofa dejectedly. She was a little unhappy. “Didn’t you say you would always accompany me?”

]”I’ll be back in two days.” Bo Xiao pinched An Rao’s face. “Go and stay in the manor for the next two days. I’m worried about you being here alone. I’ll pick you up when I’m back.”

“Then.” An Rao leaned into Bo Xiao’s arms. “We agreed on two days. You’re not allowed to be late.”

“Okay.” After comforting An Rao, Bo Xiao sent her to the manor but did not go in himself. He drove straight to the airport.

In the car, Yu Qian called.

“The chicken soup yesterday was not bad, right?” Yu Qian’s cold voice came.

Bo Xiao slammed on the brakes. How did he know? There are surveillance cameras in the house? No way, I’ve already checked once.

“Are you curious how I know?” Yu Qian laughed emotionlessly. “There’s no need to be curious. You just need to know that you don’t have to play any tricks with me. This time, send me the location of the base of the Southwest Military Region. Otherwise, you can try and see what the consequences are.”

“Got it.” Bo Xiao gritted his teeth, his eyes red. However, he had no choice.

In the Jun Corporation’s office, Jun Shiling was handling documents when his phone rang.

“Reporting, he has already left Beijing and is currently on a plane to the southwest. He received a short call on the way. We did not intercept the phone recording or find the location of the number.”

Southwest? Jun Shiling thought for a moment. “Continue to watch in the dark. Don’t let him discover you.”

“Yes.”

The office fell silent again.

There was clearly a thick stack of documents on the table, but Jun Shiling did not continue flipping through them. He frowned slightly and looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window.

Bo Xiao, I hope you don’t let me down.
