Chen Yidu pulled off the towel hanging around his neck and handed it to Mo Fan: "It used to be a bathhouse, but it was converted into a sauna a few years ago. It can be regarded as advancing with the times."

Mo Fan took the towel, looked at him knowingly and smiled: "Turn over!" Then he wiped Chen Yidu's back behind him.

Chen Yidu looked like he was enjoying himself: "The bathhouse has changed, we are still the two of us. You, a 'turtle' investor, have been drinking foreign ink for so many years, and your unique skills are still familiar!"

Mo Fan smiled: "Ten years have passed in a flash, and everything still seems like yesterday."

"Do you remember how we met?"

Hearing this, Mo Fan fell into memories: "I went out that day and was hit by a madman on the road. This person hit me and didn't even apologize. He just ran around the campus desperately. I was so angry that I chased him. I went up and wanted to beat him! But the kid told me with a bitter face that his father had just passed away and he was very sad and didn’t know what to do... "

Chen Yidu nodded: "The senior I bumped into scolded me, saying that I just lost a father. He was much worse off than me. His parents died when he was young. After all, I still have a mother. His relatives in the world are There's not one left. If I run one lap, he has to run two laps."

Mo Fan sighed: "So that kid and I ran around the campus together. Thinking about it now, it was so stupid!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Mo Fan was moved: "Later we got acquainted, and the boy said something that moved me all my life: 'Just be my eldest brother, and my mother will be your mother from now on.' In this way, I have relatives in this world. !”

Both of them fell into a slightly sad and warm memory. Chen Yidu suddenly shouted, trying to break the sad atmosphere: "Hey, why are my hands gone after just wiping them a few times? It seems that Lao Mei's food is not good."

Mo Fan joked: "That's because your skin is thicker than before, and I had a hard time wiping it off!"

Amidst laughter, Mo Fan changed the subject: "Let's talk about you. I heard that Tiffany will hold a press conference by herself tomorrow morning. Even if she takes all the blame alone, she can't eliminate the impact this incident has on DU. Influence, this is a job behavior after all.”

Chen Yidu sighed: "Actually, this is not Tiffany's fault. Li Weiwei's work is indeed not her independent work, but a joint creation between the two of us. Li Weiwei does not have the independent right to use the work, let alone use it. for commercial purposes.”

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Are you planning to keep it a secret? For Li Weiwei?"

He looked at Mo Fan tangledly: "You should know what will happen to Li Weiwei if I expose this matter."

Mo Fan nodded: "Your reputation will be ruined, your career will be ruined, and your career will be over! But if you don't tell the truth, your end will not be much better than hers. Do you think it's worth it for a woman who has broken up with you a long time ago?"

Hearing this, Chen Yidu fell silent.

Mo Fan added: "As a professional investor, I have to remind you that you must be responsible for your shareholders. Cash flow, profit, cost, growth rate, unit price per customer, square meter contribution rate, these boring numbers are still meaningful. Shareholders don't care who you agree with. Without beautiful financial figures, you, the chairman, can't handle it. Tomorrow's press conference is a good opportunity, and I believe you will make the right choice.

"Li Weiwei knows the meaning of 'original intention' to you, but she still takes it out as a finale. In her opinion, this wedding dress is just a commodity that can be sold for money. What is being sold this time is the wedding dress design draft jointly produced by the two of you. , next time, should you use the things you have dated to attract attention?"

Chen Yidu knew that Mo Fan was not being alarmist, and he was immediately sad and angry about what Li Weiwei had done.

In the evening, Li Weiwei worked overtime in the office, holding a pile of junk food and burying herself in a pile of fashion magazines. The one she was reading was "Ten Years of Global Fashion". While reading, she complained: "Aquascutum is bankrupt." Well, Ma Ma left LV, and Alexander McQueen actually committed suicide!"

After saying that, she laughed at herself: "I think I can add one more thing, the wedding dress queen Li Weiwei has lost her memory!"

Huo Xiao stood at the door of the office and knocked on the door, reminding her: "Weiwei, it's already very late."

Li Weiwei took a sip of the drink and found it was empty, so she threw it aside: "I'm in good spirits. You can go back first and don't worry about me. I have to catch up on the trends in the design world in the past seven years. I can't be like this time next time." I was also blinded by the new clothing launch conference.”

She said, picking up the junk food and gnawing on it.

Huo Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to snatch the junk food and threw it into the wastebasket.

"Is your boss still a human being when you work overtime and eat junk food? Wait, I'll pack something delicious for you!"

Li Weiwei was excited: "Then I want to eat Fu Ji's wonton noodles, plus two chicken feet."

"No problem, I'll deliver it together with a very handsome guy in a quarter of an hour."

As soon as Huo Xiao left the company, Chen Yidu angrily broke into Linglong, pushed the door open and entered the office.

Li Weiwei was sitting cross-legged on the table reading a book. She thought it was Huo Xiao who came. She didn't take any precautions and didn't raise her head: "Why are you back again? What I want is wonton noodles and chicken feet, not a single order of the most handsome guy!"

Chen Yidu stepped forward and grabbed her collar, asking fiercely: "Li Weiwei, tell me, why did you do this?"

Li Weiwei was confused and angry: "What about you, who asked you to steal my lines? You framed me, and you still have the nerve to come to my company to cause trouble at night? Just wait, we Linglong will put this together tomorrow The matter is officially handed over to the judicial authorities and you are sued for defamation. Let a villain like you who has no class, no grace, and no humanity get the end he deserves!"

Chen Yidu was so angry that he grabbed the glass on Li Weiwei's table and smashed it on the ground: "Li Weiwei, how can you be so shameless?"

Li Weiwei was immediately frightened.

Chen Yidu held her tighter, and Li Weiwei tried to struggle but was pinned to the desk instead.

He glared at Li Weiwei angrily, as if he wanted to swallow her up.

Li Weiwei said nervously: "Chen Yidu, I know you are furious now, but you must calm down, don't jump over the wall in a hurry, and don't escalate a civil dispute into a criminal case!"

Chen Yidu took out the manuscript of "Original Intention" and threw it directly in her face: "You think I have no evidence? I have always kept this manuscript."

Li Weiwei picked up the manuscript and was shocked when she found her and Chen Yidu's names written on the yellowed manuscript.

Chen Yidu said excitedly: "You know the significance of this manuscript best! Li Weiwei, you have refreshed the bottom line again and again over the years, and now you can even exchange your 'original intention' for money. You really opened my eyes!" "

At this time, Li Weiwei had already made a rough guess in her mind, but it was difficult to ask in detail.

"This is what will happen to you at DU's press conference tomorrow!"

Chen Yidu tore up the manuscript in front of her, and the fragments fell like snow flakes.

He turned around angrily and went out, but happened to bump into Huo Xiao coming in with a packing box.

Huo Xiao stepped forward and blocked Chen Yidu, and said angrily: "What are you doing here, harming Weiwei again?"

Chen Yidu sneered: "Are you exquisite people all mad dogs? You bite everyone you see!"

Huo Xiao was angry and was about to attack him when Li Weiwei suddenly rushed out and pulled Huo Xiao to the rooftop.

Li Weiwei asked Huo Xiao: "Is what Chen Yidu just said true?"

Huo Xiao turned away and did not dare to look at her, remaining silent.

Li Weiwei stepped forward and turned his face, forcing Huo Xiao to look at her.

Huo Xiao said awkwardly and perfunctorily: "Actually, you and Chen Yidu worked together for a while before, but they broke up later."

She frowned: "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

Huo Xiao replied: "After you broke up, a lot of unpleasant things happened, and finally your relationship evolved into what it is now. I was afraid that you would not be able to eat or sleep after hearing this, so I didn't tell you."

Li Weiwei murmured: "It seems that what Chen Yidu told is the truth. Unfortunately, I thought I got the inspiration in a dream. Now that I think about it, my brain is short-circuited and I vaguely remembered the previous design. It's because you didn't tell me the truth. , I just made a big mistake."

Huo Xiao said helplessly: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Now that things have happened, before we think of a countermeasure, please don't admit to the public that the finale work was jointly created by you."

Li Weiwei's reaction was huge: "I plagiarized Chen Yidu's design, but I still don't admit it. I also called Chen Yidu despicable and shameless. In the end, the most despicable and shameless person is me. I have never hated myself as much as I do now!"

Huo Xiao blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry."

Li Weiwei turned around and ran away, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

She replied angrily: "Ignore me, I haven't forgiven you yet. Please reflect on it and think about how to write a confession!"

Huo Xiao stood alone on the rooftop, watching Li Weiwei get into the taxi and disappear into the night.

"Weiwei, you are now successful and have no worries about food and clothing. I will be the man you can rely on. Just live a carefree life like this, and never think about the pain of the past again... "
