After watching this farce-like news, Wen Xinya immediately called Gu Yihan.
"What's going on in the news on TV?"
Wen Xinya only asked inquiringly, without any suspicion or surprise. Having known Teacher Gu Yihan for many years, she naturally believed in her character and her talent. She also believed that she would not steal or copy other people's designs.
She made this call just to find out the specific situation.
There was silence on the other end of the phone and then asked, "Do you believe me?"
Wen Xinya said firmly: "Of course I believe it."
Gu Yihan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lu Bingxin does have some talent in design. I usually teach her more. As for the theft and plagiarism of works, I really don't know what's going on."
At this moment, Gu Yihan felt unhappy. When Lu Bingxin was in Wen's Group, she thought she had never treated her unfairly. She didn't expect that she would turn around and join Ruyifang, and even bite her back.
Wen Xinya said: "I understand. Don't let your imagination run wild. The innocent will be innocent, and the turbid will be turbid. The business competition has nothing to do with you. Wen's Group will give you justice."
Wen Xinya didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Yihan was very touched and couldn't help but sigh, "I have received great kindness from the Wen family over the years, and only then have I got everything I have today. But I also understand that if Wen's Group wants to truly develop into a world-class luxury brand, it can't always rely on me alone. So I have always wanted to train an outstanding fashion designer for Wen's Group, and I have also paid more attention to the talented designers in the fashion design department."
Over the years, she has almost become the backbone of Wen's Group.
Wen's Group's clothing accounts for half of the group's total operations. If she falls one day, there will be huge loopholes in the entire Wen's Group's clothing operations, and the entire Wen's Group will be in crisis.
What was damaged was not only the vitality of the Wen's Group, but also its foundation over the years.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy to train an outstanding fashion designer."
It is also because of this that she has been so interested in learning fashion design over the years.
Gu Yihan seemed to be hesitant to speak, her face extremely gloomy, and then she changed the subject and said, "It's just that this incident may cause the Wen Group to suffer a considerable loss."
"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it." Then, Wen Xinya said, "During this period, you don't have to worry about what others think of you. Everything is the same as usual. If the media asks you questions, you don't need to respond. If you can't handle it, just call me. I'll keep you connected at any time."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Xinya hurried to Wen's Group.
"Grandpa, Ruyifang and Lu Bingxin have openly accused Teacher Gu Yihan of stealing and plagiarizing her fashion design works. How are you going to deal with this?"
Because it concerns Teacher Gu Yihan, she would not stay out of it for both moral and logical reasons. She has now resigned from the position of acting chairman, but she is still a member of the board of directors of Wen's Group.
"I have ordered the withdrawal of those two clothing items and banned their sale in the market. The public relations department has just issued a statement to the public and will investigate the matter. If Lu Bingxin's accusation is proven to be wrong, Lu Bingxin and the Li Group will be held legally responsible."
The withdrawal of clothing sales will bring great losses to the Wen Group, but Mr. Wen thinks more long-term. His move is not to show weakness to the Li Group, but to save Gu Yihan.
No matter what, we must not let Ruyifang and Lu Bingxin have another chance to throw dirty water on Gu Yihan.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but sigh: "Grandpa is still as courageous as he was back then!"
My grandfather made this decision without delay, making it less likely for some people with ill intentions to use this incident to stir up trouble and escalate the situation.
The public relations handling was also quite perfect and impeccable.
It not only expresses the Wens Group's great demeanor, but also shows its tough side, striking a perfect balance.
Mr. Wen continued, "The board of directors has fully intervened in the investigation of this matter. Before the truth of the incident is found out, Wen's Group refuses to respond to the accusations of Ruyifang and Lu Bingxin, and will not respond to any questions from the media."
This represents the attitude of Wen's Group.
No matter how Ruyifang and Lu Bingxin collapse, the Wen Group remains as firm as a mountain and they cannot cause any trouble.
Wen Xinya nodded. Grandpa thought it through very carefully: "At this time, the more you say, the more mistakes you will make. Any words you say in self-defense may be used by the Li Group to attack the Wen Group. Keeping silent is the best outcome."
However, this is not an act of the Wen Group showing weakness to the Li Group.
When faced with this incident, Wen's Group did not shrink back, but withdrew the sales at all costs, and has made the strongest defense of this matter with its actions.
But from a side view, this is also the Wen's Group giving an explanation to the media and the public, and the media and the public will not keep holding on to this matter.
Mr. Wen said calmly, "Since the Li Group said in front of the media that it cannot be compared with an old-established company like us, then we must show the magnanimity of an old-established company, so that everyone can see clearly that we, the Wen Group, would rather suffer huge losses than associate with such a low-profile company."
Wen's Group is an old enterprise in Country Z. Naturally, it has to maintain its status and keep the demeanor and aloof attitude that a large enterprise should have. Watching Ruyifang and Lu Bingxin jumping around like clowns with cold eyes will better demonstrate its broad-mindedness and clear conscience.
The media and the public are not fools. The Li Group entered the mainland market to compete with the Wen Group for the luxury brand market. The more aggressive the Li Group becomes, the more everyone will think that the so-called plagiarism and copying are just a means of competition for the Li Group.
Gu Yihan was completely ignored without even being noticed.
Regardless of whether the truth of this matter can be finally revealed, it will come to an end because of the Wen Group’s arrogant attitude.
Unless the Li Group dares to take this matter to court.
But it is obvious that they don't dare, otherwise they would not have cried to the media, but would have directly sued Gu Yihan.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Ginger is indeed more experienced, Grandpa has thought it through very thoroughly. The Li Group wants to put on a show, but we just don't cooperate and let her perform a one-man show. When the time comes, they will be the ones who are embarrassed and ashamed."
Grandpa's move was very thoughtful, which made Wen Xinya admire him a little.
