Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 809: Chapter 810: Mysteriously Charged with a Crime of Commercial Theft

Gu Qi Chen spoke, “The promotional copy for the project we previously cooperated on with your television station, I have already reviewed it.”

Upon hearing Gu Qi Chen mention this, Lin Yuanyuan hurriedly stepped forward.

She had already handed over the copy to Shengyuan Company.

The copy was the very one that Xia Yangyang had been shut down with before.

It could be said to be flawless.

Now that Xia Yangyang was in a desperate plight, no one would believe that the copy was originally her work.

It just so happened to fall into her lap.

A look of anticipation seemed to cross Lin Yuanyuan’s face.

Gu Qi Chen spoke, “That copy is a complete plagiarization, Director Lin, do you not owe me an explanation? Could it be that Shengyuan spent thirty million to obtain a worthless plagiarized work?”

Everyone was stunned.

Outside the door, there was a collective intake of breath.

“Plagiarism? Impossible, didn’t Director Lin write the copy herself? How could it turn out to be plagiarism?”

Lin Yuanyuan’s face was also full of surprise.

How could that copy possibly be plagiarized, when it was clearly Xia Yangyang’s original?

Could it be that Xia Yangyang plagiarized?

The station manager also frowned, turned around, and asked, “Yuanyuan, what exactly is going on here?”

But Lin Yuanyuan instantly recovered her composure.

When she submitted the copy to Shengyuan, she hadn’t been certain about the relationship between Xia Yangyang and Gu Qi Chen.

After hearing the conversation between Gu Qi Chen and Xia Yangyang last night,

Lin Yuanyuan could roughly confirm that the two must have reconciled.

Perhaps Gu Qi Chen claiming plagiarism was simply to defend Xia Yangyang.

Or maybe Xia Yangyang had already told her that the copy was her own design.

But now, Lin Yuanyuan could not admit it, for if she did, her future would be over.

Whether Gu Qi Chen believed her or not, as long as they couldn’t find proof that she stole Xia Yangyang’s copy, they couldn’t prove she plagiarized.

Because according to Lin Yuanyuan’s understanding of Xia Yangyang,

Xia Yangyang would likely not plagiarize.

Moreover, when she had previously searched online, she found no indication that Xia Yangyang’s copy was plagiarized.

Lin Yuanyuan spoke up, “President Gu, don’t make slanderous accusations. You say that I plagiarized, but you must present evidence. May I ask, which company’s copy did I plagiarize from?”

Gu Qi Chen coldly spoke, “You plagiarized from our department’s internal copy.”

This statement left everyone more confused.

The station manager asked, “President Gu, could you please clarify?”

Gu Qi Chen spoke, “Before I handed this task over to your television station, our company’s marketing department had already provided me with a copy. However, I always felt it lacked originality, as if all the years were the same. Therefore, seeking a fresh approach, I entrusted the task to your television station. But what I never expected was to end up receiving a copy identical to my company’s. Our company’s copy was completed three months ago, and every step of their creation is recorded in the archives. If you have any doubts, station manager, I can provide you with the records. The copy Director Lin gave me a few days ago is identical to ours, word for word, which is utterly astonishing. This promotional film is a confidential document of our company. I could perhaps overlook Director Lin’s plagiarism for now, but stealing our internal confidential documents is a serious matter. So, I cannot let this go unchecked. Later, a lawyer will come to charge Miss Lin with the crime of commercial theft.”

Lin Yuanyuan was almost dumbfounded.

How could she suddenly be saddled with the crime of commercial theft out of nowhere?
