DFYMHGFS Chapter 72

72 – An Hao liked him so much, he definitely wouldn’t turn his back on him!

 

An Zhaoming: “Are you deliberately setting up a trap to trick people?”

An Xing: “No, it’s just a coincidence.”

An family: ……

This so-called “ trap”, originated from an accident and was not intentionally designed by An Xing.

–As he said, you can’t like the little fool’s stupidity and dislike him for being plotted against. From his little curly hair to his soles, which part of An Xing looks like he would plan ahead and set up a trap in advance?

Everything is a mistake, evil people eat their own bad consequences.

As early as in freshman year, An Xing had installed a lock for his dormitory drawer, which was a combination lock to prevent his design from being stolen or other unspecified circumstances.

His roommates knew that he had a lock on his drawer. What they didn’t know was that when the drawer was opened, there was a pinhole camera in a pile of items that looked like miscellaneous items placed near the edge.

Normally, the camera only captures the upper half of An Xing’s face when he pulls open the drawer. The tables in their dormitory are far apart, so there is no invasion of privacy.

“I’ve blown up with Su Yiran, so I’m a little more guarded against him,” he said. “The combination lock has never been changed, so if somebody wants to steal my designs, they can definitely get a glimpse of them”.

“But no one knows that I have a pinhole camera in there. If someone secretly opens my drawer, their face will be captured.”

“If he doesn’t have bad intentions, then nothing will happen, and I can’t do anything to him!”

Unfortunately, Su Yiran’s heart was set on it, and so was his hand. The night of the An family banquet, the three of them did not go back to the dormitory, and Su Yiran secretly rummaged through An Xing’s design.

The teenager sat on the sofa, shaking his head and sighing, explaining to the family members sitting around.

An Zhaoming was silent for a moment and slowly asked:

“So what he stole was your design for the jewelry competition?”

Shen Ying and An Rong’s faces darkened.

As an insider, Shen Ying knew very well how important this kind of competition was to a debutant designer like her son. Especially, if the pup can win the prize in the competition, his business value will go up a level.

Even if the pup doesn’t lack money to spend, it’s not the same if he can earn money from his own designs.

But now, those people have stolen the design, and there are less than two months before the competition. ……

An Rong also could not sit still, and said with a deep face:

“I don’t know if it’s too late to get a lawyer to sue them,” he said.

Seeing the family members are nervous and worried about him, An Xing’s heart felt warm. He grabbed his mother with one hand and his brother with the other and pulled them close affectionately to him.

“Don’t worry, I’m not afraid!”

The teenager proudly lifted his chin, his round face full of satisfaction.

“The one Su Yiran stole was not my design for the competition, it was just a design I made on a whim.”

The An family was dumbfounded.

“ I already suspected that he had bad intentions, so how could I possibly put the design for the competition in such a conspicuous place?

An Xing winked at his family with a look of ‘You guys are so stupid, I’m the smart one’.

“I put the one I drew last year at the top, and I even added some special notes.”

Su Yiran was so stupid that he really thought that this annotated drawing was his design for the competition. He didn’t realize that An Xing usually took the really important designs home, and almost always carried them with him at school. Even the book he used to draw the design was an inconspicuous somewhat old book.

The only special thing was that it was the sketchbook left behind by Gu Lan.

The young man proudly twisted his head around, waiting for the family’s praise, An Zhaoming and An Rong are in a dilemma.

To say that the pup is smart, this operation is really very simple. But to say that the pup is not smart, the pup really set up a trap. Thinking about it ……

An Rong face is expressionless: “That Su Yiran is really a fool. How can he come up with this kind of idea, so morally corrupt.”

An Zhaoming said with a dignified and deep voice: “That’s right. He actually took advantage of our Xingxing’s trust, his character is despicable!”

An Xing nodded vigorously: ”That’s right! Unlike me, I am smart and kind!”

Shen Ying watched her husband and son bragging about the pup and smiled faintly. She stroked the teenager’s small curly hair, softly asking:

“Do you have all the evidence you need xingxing?”

“Of course! I even have a video of me drawing that design last year!”

“That’s great. Then you don’t have to worry about this, Daddy and Mommy will help you out.”

The woman’s smile was gentle, but her words were lethal.

“Let those who have wronged our Xinxing not be able to eat in this business for the rest of their lives.”

*

An Xing handed over the video and the draft to An Zhaoming, and then left. An Rong, on the other hand, was taken away by An Zhaoming to learn how to deal with this incident.

The more they investigated, the more alarmed they felt.

Wei Qing Jewelry is a new company that has risen to prominence in recent years, and with its innovative designs, it has quickly gained a significant share of the market. It is very dazzling for a new jewelry company to have such achievements.

However, a closer look reveals that the rise of Weiqing Jewelry was due to the fact that they “borrowed” the works of many unknown designers, packaged them and launched them quickly. So unlike An Ning Jewelry, all of their collections are traceable.

Therefore, when Xu Xin came out of nowhere, no one thought it was a strange thing to do, only that it was the style of Wei Qing Jewelry.

Another interesting point is that the initial source of funding for Wei Qing Jewelry is unknown.

Originally, An Zhaoming did not take this seriously, but after the incident of Su Yiran, An Zhaoming remembered that both Lu Tian Shen and An Xing had said that this Su Yiran was put into Wei Qing Jewellery by An Hao as an intern.

So what exactly is the relationship between Wei Qing Jewelry and his nephew, or rather, his younger brother?

An Zhaoming still knows a bit about his own nephew. He cannot achieve what he does today without his father. An Zhaoming didn’t believe that Wei Qing Jewelry was the network developed by An Hao himself.

Therefore, he reasonably suspected that the Wei Qing Jewelry is not related to An Hao, but related to An Zhaoyuan.

Therefore, An Ning Jewelry took action.

An Xing designed this piece last year in connection with autumn, just as it was about to be autumn, and the product was a great success. While Wei Qing Jewelry was on a marketing spree, a piece of news shocked the jewelry industry.

–An Ning Jewelry sued Wei Qing Jewelry’s new product, stating that the product’s design was a copy of its young master’s.

Although An Ning Jewelry is not a listed company, but at least it is well-known nationwide, coupled with the recent incident of the real and fake young master, it is very well known among the masses.

Now, the public is flocking to An Ning Jewelry’s statement that the products that have been selling like hotcakes in Wei Qing Jewelry are in fact designed by its own young master, who was also the fake young master.

When public opinion was so concerned about this matter, it was no longer possible for Wei Qing Jewelry to suppress the matter and keep it private. An Ning Jewelry quickly released the design, as well as part of the video when An Xing drew the design a year ago.

——This is a slap in the face, isn’t it? During the interview, Xu Xin also said that this piece was designed after joining An Ning Jewelry and went to Wei Qing Jewelry because it was not appreciated. The time difference was so far away that people who ate melons felt their faces hurt.

Moreover, everyone who has a pair of eyes can see that this product of Wei Qing Jewelry, and An Xing’s design are almost exactly the same, no changes are made.

An Xing can not help but say a word here, even if you steal the draft, at least make a slight change ah, such a waste, they actually just copied it?

This is also the point that makes the An family angry.

Su Yiran thought that this was An Xing’s competition piece, so he stole it and gave it to Xu Xin, so that Wei Qing Jewelry could put it on sale in advance. If this was indeed a competition piece, then on the one hand, An Xing would not have had time to redesign it, and on the other hand, it would have been very difficult for him to produce evidence for a lawsuit when it came to the confidentiality of the competition piece.

Most importantly, even if it is proved that this is An Xing’s original creation, he can not use this piece of work for the competition.

This is a loss that An Xing must suffer.

So of course they would not modify the design. If An Xing didn’t pay attention and directly made the original design, Su Yiran might even “accidentally” stumble upon it and shout out in mock surprise, “An Xing, you are copying the design of Wei Qing Jewellery” or something like that.

With a little brainstorming, the An family’s fists hardened. At the height of the public opinion, An Ning Jewelry released the last video.

The video began in darkness, then a crack appeared, and the crack gradually widened. A young man with a nervous look on his face appears behind the darkness and reaches out to the darkness.

Su Yiran takes out a book from a drawer, opens it and takes a look at it, a smile of amazement mixed with jealousy and malice appears on his face, then he pulls out his cell phone and takes a picture of the drawing, and then he closes the drawer again.

The video went dark, but the anger of the audience was ignited.

When An Xing received Su Yiran’s call, he was at home eating watermelon. After glancing at the caller ID, he turned on the speakerphone and put it on the table. An Rong took out his cell phone and started recording.

The usually gentle and soft voice rang out, angry and anxious, with a hint of fear.

“An Xing! How dare you set me up?”

“Wow, are you all so thick-skinned that you don’t even have a face?”

The youngster’s clear voice rang out, carrying surprise and mockery.

“It was you who had the bad idea to steal from me first, and now you’re blaming me for not being able to do so?”

“According to you, I have to say sorry to you. I’m sorry that I made you steal the wrong thing, you may have to go to court in the future, Saorui!” {T/N: Describes speech or behavior that is witty and humorous, making people laugh.}

Su Yiran: ……

Su Yiran’s blood pressure rose.

At this moment, he also understands that no matter how much he swallows his breath and apologizes, An Xing will not let him go. Even if An Xing is easy to deceive, those family members behind him will not give him a good deal. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

“What do you want me to do so that you will let me go? Do you want me to apologize? Or do you want me to testify against Wei Qing Jewelry and clear the air for your company? You name it, I’ll do it.”

An Xing: ……

An Rong did not hold the phone in his hand, and the teenager jumped up from the sofa and blew his hair out in front of the cell phone.

He said, “Do you have to be so shameless, you’re still counting on people at this hour? You’re the one who has bad intentions, aren’t you? Did you not do something bad? Why do you make it sound as if I asked you to harm others?”

An Xing became more and more angry, and there was no more hesitation in his heart.

“I’m telling you, I won’t let you go no matter what you do! Today I was lucky and prepared in advance. If someone encounters you in the future and you steal the design draft, does that mean they are unlucky?!”

The youngster exasperatedly barked and wanted to hang up the phone, but was held down by a hand.

An Rong lifted his hand towards him, signaling to wait, and indifferently said to the cell phone:

“Our family will not forgive you for framing my brother like this. In the future, you can no longer hang out in this circle.”

Huge panic rose from the bottom of his heart, and Su Yiran gripped his chest so hard that he almost fainted. He had never imagined that the An family would be so determined. What was even more frightening was that he knew they were true to their word.

If something like this happens, he will probably be expelled from the school, will be recorded in the files, and will never be able to find a serious job again…

When he was in despair, he heard the cold voice of a boy on the other end of his cell phone.

“…… If you want to blame, blame the person who encouraged you to do this.”

As if a drowning man had grabbed the last straw, Su Yiran instantly calmed down.

No, he is not completely without resources, he still has An Hao ah!

Su Yiran: ……

Su Yiran’s blood pressure rose.

At this moment, he also understands that no matter how much he swallows his breath and apologizes, An Xing will not let him go. Even if An Xing is easy to deceive, those family members behind him will not give him a good deal. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

“What do you want me to do so that you will let me go? Do you want me to apologize? Or do you want me to testify against Wei Qing Jewelry and clear the air for your company? You name it, I’ll do it.”

He said, “Do you have to be so shameless, you’re still counting on people at this hour? You’re the one who has bad intentions, aren’t you? Did you not do something bad? Why do you make it sound as if I asked you to harm others?”

An Xing became more and more angry, and there was no more hesitation in his heart.

“I’m telling you, I won’t let you go no matter what you do! Today I was lucky and prepared in advance. If someone encounters you in the future and you steal the design draft, does that mean they are unlucky?!”

The youngster exasperatedly barked and wanted to hang up the phone, but was held down by a hand.

As if a drowning man had grabbed the last straw, Su Yiran instantly calmed down.

No, he is not completely without resources, he still has An Hao ah!

An Hao liked him so much, he definitely wouldn’t turn his back on him!
