The amusement park.
"Uncle, Nannan can't hold any more."
Standing beside Chen Fan, Nannan, hugging a pile of dolls, was so happy she couldn't close her mouth.
Chen Fan held the plastic rings in his hand, looking at the sparse dolls displayed in front of him.
That's right, it was the common ring toss game in amusement parks.
For Chen Fan, this game was naturally not difficult at all. He hit every shot, making the stall owner's face turn green.
"Alright, the last one."
Chen Fan smiled. He threw the last ring in his hand, precisely hooking the nose of a teddy bear.
The stall owner, with a mournful face, brought the teddy bear over and handed it to Chen Fan.
A circle of children and parents had already gathered around. Those children were so envious of Nannan's haul that their mouths watered.
Taking the dolls, Chen Fan handed some cash to the stall owner, causing the stall owner's mournful face to beam with joy again.
Chen Fan just wanted to make Nannan happy, not to take advantage of the stall owner.
The two walked out of the amusement park, carrying a pile of plush dolls.
Next to the parked car, Qin Tianyou smiled at Nannan and squatted down, saying, "Wow, Nannan, you got so many things today!"
"Yes, Uncle is so amazing and great."
Nannan said happily, handing a very small monkey to Qin Tianyou, saying, "Uncle, this is for you."
Qin Tianyou was stunned, then happily accepted, saying, "Thank you, Uncle is so happy, this is the gift Uncle likes the most."
"You're welcome, thank you, Uncle," little Nannan said earnestly.
Only then did Qin Tianyou realize that little Nannan remembered what happened that night.
Children who have experienced hardship appear particularly sensible and lovable.
Having Nannan sit in the car, Chen Fan asked, "What is it?"
"War God, the Jiang family. It should be Jiang Shaolong's father who found the camp and wants to use his connections to get Jiang Shaolong out."
Chen Fan then remembered that Jiang Shaolong was still locked up. He shook his head and said, "He poisoned me, this matter won't be so easily settled. Ignore him, let him stew."
Qin Tianyou nodded and said, "The leverage left by He Yifeng has been found. After comparison, some people did not surrender."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura flashed, "Who are they?"
"Shao Jia's eldest young master, Shao Moqing, and a few others from smaller families. They also didn't go to the Yin Cheng Club that night."
"The Shao family has some background. It is said they are related by marriage to the Xu family of Xiling. The Xu family is a century-old prominent family in Xiling with deep foundations."
"A century-old prominent family, so what?"
Chen Fan said with a chilling tone, "I will personally visit the Shao family tomorrow. As for the others, bury them!"
Qin Tianyou obeyed unconditionally, "Yes!"
Nodding, Chen Fan drove away.
It should be just the right time. He planned to pick up Su Yingxue from work.
At the same time, in the Huancai Building.
A man wearing glasses and carrying a camera, accompanied by the company's receptionist, walked into Huancai's planning department.
"Who is Miss Su Yingxue?"
Su Yingxue, busy with work, looked up at the reporter-like man with a bit of surprise.
Cao Yun and Luo Di sneered at their desks.
Luo Di was holding his phone, sending out a few messages.
"I am, may I ask who you are?" Su Yingxue stood up and asked.
"My name is Zhu Liming, and I'm a reporter for Fashion Design Magazine. I've interviewed many designers at Huancai. I heard you've recently completed some outstanding designs and came for a brief interview."
Su Yingxue was stunned, finding it a bit unbelievable.
As a fashion designer, she had certainly seen this magazine. She never expected to be interviewed by it one day.
"Okay, okay!"
For a moment, Su Yingxue felt a little nervous and anxious.
Zhu Liming smiled, but there was a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Then, he seriously began to ask questions and admire Su Yingxue's design sketches.
As a well-known reporter in the industry, he was indeed familiar with Huancai, attracting the attention of some junior designers like Su Yingxue.
What Su Yingxue didn't notice was that as Zhu Liming looked, his expression had already become gloomy.
Su Yingxue was still explaining her concept and design ideas when Zhu Liming suddenly slammed the table and shouted sternly, "Su Yingxue, don't you have any shame?"
Su Yingxue was startled and asked in surprise, "Reporter Zhu, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
Zhu Liming sneered, took out a USB drive, and said, "A designer of some repute gave me her works to admire, and these works are exactly the same as yours. What do you have to say?"
"How is that possible?"
Su Yingxue found it incredible.
"Team Leader Luo, please display it on the projector!"
Zhu Liming handed the USB drive to Luo Di.
"No way, could it be a coincidence?"
Luo Di said feigningly.
"One or two designs colliding could be a coincidence, but eight or ten designs being identical, can that also be called a coincidence?"
Zhu Liming said dismissively, looking down from above.
Luo Di still appeared unconvinced and connected the USB drive to the projector, displaying the works.
After this display, Li Mei and other junior designers who had gathered to look at Su Yingxue's designs showed expressions of disbelief.
"They're actually exactly the same!"
"No, Reporter Zhu didn't copy Su Yingxue's works!"
"Everyone, look at the author's name here. It's actually Team Leader Cao's?"
"..."
Various discussions arose within the company.
"It's Team Leader Cao's work? And it's exactly the same as Su Yingxue's. Did Cao steal Su Yingxue's work, or did Su Yingxue plagiarize Cao's design?"
"Does this even need to be asked? Cao has been doing this for how many years, and Su Yingxue has only been doing it for how long?"
"I can't believe Su Yingxue would do something like this?"
"..."
Su Yingxue's face turned pale upon hearing this.
"Are they really my works?"
Cao Yun also feigned surprise and said, "I was wondering why the works Su Yingxue submitted to Xinyue were so similar to mine?"
She then turned and reprimanded, "Su Yingxue, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I didn't..." Su Yingxue quickly defended herself, saying, "I wouldn't do such a thing..."
"Then how do you explain this?"
Cao Yun questioned sternly, "The other day I took you to meet a client and let you hold the computer. I went to the restroom midway, and you stole my design during that time, didn't you?"
"Not only that, but you also snatched my client. Why did Manager Lin of Xinyue's attitude change so drastically? What underhanded means did you use?"
Many people looked enlightened, and their gazes towards Su Yingxue became more malicious.
Human hearts are unpredictable. Su Yingxue, a newcomer who had only been in the company for a few days, had already secured a major order from Xinyue, which had made many people jealous. They couldn't help but speculate with malicious intent.
Now, Cao Yun's counter-accusation made many people happy to kick her while she was down.
Su Yingxue felt a chill all over her body.
She wasn't foolish. The moment Cao Yun started accusing her, she knew her designs had been stolen.
Although she couldn't recall when her works were stolen, it was clear that this was a setup by Cao Yun.
Facing a meticulously planned conspiracy, she couldn't produce any evidence to prove her innocence and felt so helpless.
