“They insulted our work first!” Yin Shang exclaimed while eyeing Gu Panpan in the live broadcast room. To everyone’s surprise, she had transformed a pair of denim shorts into two adorable phone bags.
An executive interjected, unable to hold back, “This can’t be considered an insult. She hasn’t uttered anything negative about us throughout. She’s merely innovating upon our foundation.”
Clearly, this wasn’t plagiarism; it was a creative departure from our designs.
“In any case, we have to sue them. We can’t let them get what they want!” Yin Shang was adamant about pursuing legal action.
Sun Mei promptly contacted the legal department, dispatching a lawyer’s letter to make them answer for their actions.
“President Sun, there’s troubling news. Our backer has received returns for 34,000 orders, including those from partners, manufacturers, and physical shops…”
“They all claim Cheng Ming’s clothes are not only cheaper but also more stylish. Moreover, they promise immediate shipment after placing an order.” “All their singles use Windy Express. If they order today, the items will arrive tomorrow.”
This swift delivery option resonated with online shoppers, capturing their hearts. Sun Mei was already seething with anger when another report came in.
“President Sun, a total of 83,000 dresses have been returned backstage… Some have been dispatched, but customers insisted on returning the orders. We had to intercept the deliveries. In the end, not only did we fail to make a profit, but we also incurred delivery fees…”
Sun Mei’s frustration reached a boiling point. She pressed her fingers to her temples, feeling a heavy chest that made breathing difficult. The thought of not selling the 83,000 orders and having them pile up in the warehouse was too distressing to contemplate.
“President Sun, more bad news. Jane Clothes’ manager, who initially wanted to order 10,000 dresses from us, has reneged on the deal and gone to Cheng Ming for an order…”
Sun Mei’s body swayed, and she instinctively reached out to the table, fearing she might faint from the overwhelming pressure.
“President Sun, our team has implemented a substantial discount on the official website. It’s a deduction of 100 yuan, followed by 220 yuan, and an additional 40 yuan. Despite this, we couldn’t retain our customers.”
“Our online shop’s customer service staff have tirelessly communicated, but the customers still proceeded with canceling their orders.”
“President Sun, what should be our next step?”
When Fang Yuan entered the live broadcast room, Gu Panpan was already editing the seventeenth product of the day.
Upon seeing Fang Yuan, Gu Panpan’s eyes formed into crescents. Fang Yuan returned a sweet smile and went to the side to examine the data without revealing her face.
Wang Ning whispered with excitement, “President Fang, the viewership in the live-stream has reached an astonishing 1.07 million!”
In the past, broadcasts had only garnered a few thousand viewers, with even fewer placing orders. It was a stark difference from the current explosive popularity.
“Take a guess at how many orders we’ve sold?” Wang Ning asked with enthusiasm.
“A hundred thousand orders?”
“Exactly!” Wang Ning exclaimed, “The total order count is already at 102,000, and it’s still increasing! President Fang, at this rate, we won’t have enough finished products in our warehouse!”
“Then let’s put in overtime to ramp up production,” Fang Yuan remarked as she analyzed the data and returned to her office.
Wang Ning eagerly trailed behind her. “President Fang, you’re truly remarkable. Just as you predicted, not only did we avoid losses and preserve our reputation, but we’ve also gained a significant profit. You’re truly amazing! If the audience in the live-stream knew that these new models originated from you…”
Fang Yuan’s intent was merely to give Gu Panpan an opportunity to showcase her talent, a way of supporting the younger generation.
“Why should we let them know?” Fang Yuan, now the company manager, held the perspective that the designer of the 26 designs was inconsequential. What mattered most was that the company was generating profit.
At Cheng Ming’s Headquarters, Ruan Nuo hurriedly reported the live broadcast of the clothing company’s new products to Cheng Mohan.
“The live-stream has surpassed 1.2 million viewers. We’ve sold 150,000 orders…”
“Just as President Fang predicted, we not only avoided losses but also turned a profit.”
“Boss, take a look. They’ve changed into these clothes, and they look much better than Charm Cloth.”
“Plus, the pricing is reasonable!”
“I heard President Fang was behind all this. She had the designs modified after Charm Cloth stole the draft and even sold them at a lower price. It’s like a slap in their face. Charm Cloth must be upset and might cause trouble for us.”
Cheng Mohan observed the live stream and noticed some models showcasing particularly well-modified designs. He couldn’t help but wonder about his biological sister’s design talents.
“Boss, I have a suggestion..” Ruan Nuo hesitated before continuing, “Considering President Fang’s significant contributions since joining the company, should we consider giving her a bonus as recognition?”
