The old man spoke first: "Mr. Yuan, I believe you already know the reason why we came here this time. Look at this matter..."
He hesitated to speak, and his expression suggested that Yuan Yongqin should take the step and punish them.
Who knew that Yuan Yongqin would slightly hide the smile on her face and suddenly said: "We did not plagiarize, nor did we borrow the manuscript."
The two were stunned for a moment, neither of them reacting to her sudden turn of events.
Yuan Yongqin asked in a friendly manner: "You came at the right time. I also want to ask why this happened. Did something 'accident' happen when our manuscript arrived at your APE?"
The two APE personnel realized what she meant and their faces turned pale and red at once. They were furious at her 'shameless' answer.
The young man was the first to lose his temper and immediately accused Yuan Yongqin: "What do you mean? You don't admit it?"
Yuan Yongqin had been in the business world for thirty years, so how could he be criticized by a young boy? He immediately frowned, raised his chin slightly, and asked the head of the design department beside him.
"Who is this?"
The head of the design department mentioned a name and gave a brief introduction: "...Mr. Amy's designs have won many awards in the industry. Although they were not first place, they were still good results. The best result was third place."
Yuan Yongqin immediately resumed her smile, turned her head and looked at the young man from APE again, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I tend to have a bad memory when I get older. I usually only remember the first place, and rarely remember the second place, so it's inevitable that I didn't notice you. Mr. Amy, you won't mind, right?"
The young man was already furious with her actions, but she just greeted him with a smile and didn't say anything excessive.
They were simply discussing his achievements in his career. He couldn't deny that the person whose best result was only third place was not him.
But Yuan Yongqin and the people around her were clearly trying to humiliate him, and he really couldn't force a smile or say anything like "I don't mind" or anything like that.
Seeing that his companion was about to roll his eyes in anger, the old man stood in front of him unnoticed and took the initiative to take over Yuan Yongqin's teasing.
"Mr. Yuan, let's talk business."
"I was just talking about serious business with you, and he suddenly came out and interrupted me. I'm wondering about his identity?" Yuan Yongqin's smile and leisurely words fully displayed the arrogance of the upper class people who could kill people without leaving any trace.
No matter what the identity of the young man APE is, at least his behavior of excitedly questioning Yuan Yongqin just now crossed the line.
The old man also understood this truth, so he was not as excited as the young man, but always recognized his own identity.
Yuan Yongqin is the person in charge of Chengfeng Group.
And they are just artists at the end of the day.
"He is ignorant. Mr. Yuan, please don't bother with him." The old man was neither humble nor arrogant, and brought the topic back: "You just said that you thought your design draft was replaced after it entered APE. Is that what you mean?"
Yuan Yongqin likes to talk to smart people, and she is open-minded, so there is nothing she can't say: "Yes, that's what I mean."
The young man almost couldn't hold back again, but was held back by the old man.
The old man calmed down and roughly understood the situation.
The situation they expected, that Yuan Yongqin would give up the young designer, did not occur. Instead, the opposite result occurred—Chengfeng Group was determined to protect its young designer regardless of its international reputation!
