Chapter 767: Shop Exploration
The manuscripts were blown all over the square, and Han Ruoxing and Tang Xiaoxiao also hurried to help pick them up.
After chasing for a long time, the two finally picked up all the drawings.
After Han Ruoxing gathered the drawings together, she found that they were actually sketches of jewelry design.
She flipped through two pages, looked at the signature, and was slightly stunned.
At this time, the girl who had just picked up the manuscripts also chased over, snatched the manuscripts from Han Ruoxing's hand, and said with a stern face, "Don't look at other people's things."
Tang Xiaoxiao frowned, "You are so rude, we picked them up for you."
The girl said coldly, "If she hadn't bumped into me, the things wouldn't have fallen at all."
"You——"
Han Ruoxing stopped Tang Xiaoxiao and apologized to her in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road when I was calling just now, and bumped into you. Please check if the manuscripts are missing."
The girl probably thought her attitude was pretty good, and said lightly, "It's okay."
After that, she left with the things.
Tang Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, "We didn't do it on purpose, look at her attitude?"
Han Ruoxing whispered, "Those are design drawings, it's normal for her to be nervous."
Tang Xiaoxiao pouted, "We can't understand the design drawings, can she steal them?"
Han Ruoxing smiled, "If it were someone else, it might not matter, but someone like her who has been bitten by a snake must be very cautious."
Tang Xiaoxiao listened to her and pondered, "Do you know her?"
Han Ruoxing shook her head, "No, but I just saw the name signed on the design draft, Chen Ru, I know her."
Tang Xiaoxiao became curious, "What's the matter?"
Han Ruoxing told her.
Han Ruoxing likes jewelry and usually pays attention to this aspect.
Two years ago, a very powerful jewelry company in the industry was reported by their own jewelry designer Chen Ru on the Internet on the day of the new product launch, claiming that the new product they released was designed by her, but the company signed it to another so-called master designer.
This incident caused quite a stir in the design circle at the time. First, plagiarism is a big deal. Second, the designer who was reported was the ace designer of that company and was even very famous in the industry.
After the incident was exposed, the company quickly responded. They first denied the claim of plagiarism, but faced with public doubts, they could not produce the design sketch.
So they said that the contract signed by Chen Ru's designer with them was like this. The company had the right to do anything with the works she created for the company during the contract period. Then they pointed out that Chen Ru took private orders and left her job for no reason many times during the contract period. She was fired with a piece of paper.
They defended the plagiarized designer to the end and chose to sacrifice Chen Ru, a designer who was not famous.
Han Ruoxing watched the whole incident out of a melon-eating mentality.
It's better to say that it's copying and pasting than plagiarism. They were too lazy to even change it. They directly signed someone else's name and produced it to sell.
Han Ruoxing hated plagiarism, especially the company's attitude towards plagiarism after the incident, which made her particularly uncomfortable. After that, she blacklisted the brand and never bought anything from them again.
In order to prove that the things were designed by her, Chen Ru posted many of her manuscripts on the Internet, so when Han Ruoxing picked up those manuscripts just now, she saw the writing style of her name at the end and recognized her at a glance.
After Tang Xiaoxiao heard it, her dissatisfaction just now also disappeared.
"No wonder she had that reaction when she saw others looking at her drawings."
As she was talking, Su Wanqin's assistant called and said that she had arrived at the store.
Han Ruoxing hung up the phone and said to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Let's go, the people are here."
Tang Xiaoxiao came to her senses and immediately took out her mobile phone to make a video call with Shen Qingchuan, and then put a Bluetooth headset in her ear.
Qi Yu Ji is on the first floor of the shopping mall. The store is very large, at least 200 square meters.
Han Ruoxing and Tang Xiaoxiao were warmly received as soon as they entered the door, and they were asked what they wanted to buy.
Han Ruoxing said lightly, "I'm looking for someone."
As soon as the voice fell, the woman who was standing next to the counter, dressed neatly and talking on the phone, suddenly turned around.
She looked at Han Ruoxing, said something to the person on the other end of the phone, hung up the phone, walked straight to Han Ruoxing, and said respectfully, "Hello, Miss Han, I am Cheng Yue, the assistant of General Manager Su. General Manager Su asked me to help you with the handover of Qi Yu Ji."
Han Ruoxing observed Cheng Yue calmly.
She was in her thirties or forties, with an ordinary appearance, but her makeup was exquisite, her dress was neat, and her expression was calm, not revealing her true colors.
Su Wanqin was such a smart person, and the confidants she kept around her were probably not ordinary people either.
"Hello, Assistant Cheng, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's my duty," Cheng Yue turned to the man standing next to her and kept looking at her, and said, "Manager Gou, Qi Yu Ji will be taken over by Miss Han Ruoxing from now on. You should call everyone here and meet them together."
Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. A dog manager?
The man who was called came over with a smile, "So this is the new boss. I'm sorry, but everyone is busy doing their own job at the moment, so I guess they can't gather together."
This Manager Gou has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face, but his eyes are erratic, which weakens his righteousness and adds a bit of businessman's smoothness.
Han Ruoxing heard what he said and smiled lightly, "No, no need to call everyone together, Manager Gou can take me around."
Manager Gou glanced at Han Ruoxing and then responded, "That's my duty. Please, Mr. Han."
The entire first floor is the sales area, so Manager Gou took her to see the sales area first, introducing it to her as they walked.
Qiyuji makes high-end jewelry. They only make one of each style of goods. Once they are sold, they will not make the same style again. They have spot goods and also accept private orders. There are special designers to help design according to customer needs.
From the information provided by Su Wanqin, Qiyuji has been in business for nearly ten years. Their brand focuses on high-end jewelry and is very famous in the celebrity circle.
After walking around, Han Ruoxing felt that their jewelry styles were not particularly outstanding. If she were a buyer, she would not have much desire to buy these things in the display cabinet.
Han Ruoxing scanned the goods and asked, "Manager Gou, these jewelry styles are mediocre. Don't you have better designs in the store?"
Manager Gou laughed, "Mr. Han doesn't usually play with jewelry, right? These styles are the most ordered by customers in our store. As for better ones, we do have them, but each one costs tens of millions and is locked in the safe."
Tang Xiaoxiao's eyelids jumped.
Who is this idiot manager implying? Ah Xing's jewelry can fill up their display cabinets!
Han Ruoxing was not angry either, and smiled and said, "I'm new here and I really don't know much. Manager Gou, can you take out the store's treasures and let me open my eyes?"
