Mr. Will’s gaze changed, and he looked towards Shen Qianshu suspiciously. He was a bit frustrated, yet he felt a sense of unexplainable contempt. The B Family had been enjoying global acclaim for a long time, and the comments from others had always been top-notch. Be it the company’s cultural tradition or their unique designs, they had always received good reviews. There would be international celebrities vying to be B Family’s spokesperson.
They had fought quite some plagiarism lawsuits. It did not matter who was right or wrong. They would definitely win the lawsuit in the end and cause the opponent to suffer a devastating loss. To those in this industry, the B Family was an insurmountable peak.
Initially, Mr. Will did not think that this plagiarism case was very serious. Shen Qianshu was only a nameless designer from China. From the start, Megan had insisted that it was her design. Mr. Will thought that it was Shen Qianshu who was jealous and defamed her.
He had always been arrogant and thus used the wrong public relations method. The issue blew up, and it was harder for them to back off. He was unwilling to admit his own mistake and consequently pulled Ye Ling and AG into the issue too. If they lost the lawsuit, they would definitely experience a downturn for a while. AG would then take the opportunity to replace them. In this era of social media, reputation was extremely important for a brand. Its significance was almost unimaginable.
“Miss Shen, we have come to talk to you sincerely. Bailey and Megan were the ones who defamed you. It was Megan who plagiarized you. Our company has nothing to do with it and has been kept in the dark as well. Megan lied to our company, causing us to do the wrong thing and trust the wrong person. We have only investigated this issue thoroughly recently. Hence, we would like Miss Shen to settle this outside of the court. We will use another method to compensate for Miss Shen’s reputation loss.”
Will spoke very prettily. He did not mention anything about the B Family and pushed all the blame onto Megan and Bailey.
He shot a glance at Megan.
Megan said, “Miss Shen, CEO is right. I lied to him and kept everything from the company. I caused everything. The company has no part in this. I can apologize to you openly or leave the jewelry designing industry. Whatever makes you happy.”
Shen Qianshu knew that Megan was an arrogant and proud person. To her, making an apology was not a simple task. Mr. Will must have reminded her to do so for her to apologize like this.
What a good scapegoat! She was even more dedicated than Zhong Ran.
However, she was not worthy of sympathy, although Will’s method was indeed very chilling.
This had nothing to do with Shen Qianshu.
She had no excess sympathy for Megan.
“Does this mean that out of all the conditions I raised, you only agreed to let Megan be the scapegoat? And you are rejecting the rest of the conditions?” Shen Qianshu smiled and was very calm. Negotiation was a skill.
When she had the upper hand, she would be prouder.
“Miss Shen, we can discuss the remaining conditions. For example, we can cooperate. BG needs a partner jewelry company, and we can provide you with our cooperation. We can give you training opportunities, resources, and the newest technologies. We can share them all with you.” These were the core aspects of a jewelry company.
By being willing to negotiate, he was already putting himself on the lower end and was very sincere.
If the issue had not blown up, Will did not have to put these conditions on the table.
Shen Qianshu said coldly, “Mr. Will, you simply drew us a huge cookie. In our country, there’s an idiom that says ‘filling your hunger by drawing a cookie’. You learned the essence of it. However, I don’t need your imaginary cookie.”
