Chapter 2126: Copycat

Nan Jiaojiao’s face turned instantly sour.

She didn’t like having such a bright third wheel around.

“Rose signed a deal with NI perfume company, they’re releasing their autumn new products. After the tasting event, they’ll hold a show, and Rose was specially invited to design a set of jewelry from the same series. They started promoting it two months ago, and the earrings were released the day before yesterday. Once they went on sale, they sold out in ten seconds.”

Before Pei Dongshi could drive people away, he first talked about business, and then provoked, “A bit slower than your three-second sellout, but her popularity among the general public is large, and the price wasn’t set high-end. Two types of materials, appealing to the upper class while having control over the lower market. I used this method on you once before and then abandoned it. Qin Qing improved it, and now some new models from E.Y. also use it. This time, Rose’s high-profile comeback aims to steal your spotlight.”

Nan Jiaojiao was indifferent, “She only dares to avoid me, what spotlight is she stealing?”

Pei Dongshi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking this girl indeed had the capital to be arrogant; he couldn’t find any flaws even after probing her twice.

“The earrings look a lot like the ones I designed. I found pictures; the similarity is as high as eighty percent.”

Pei Dongshi was surprised, “Rare for you to pay attention to these details.”

“I know my things,” Nan Jiaojiao calmly put a bite of food in her mouth, “She copied me.”

“There’s no evidence yet, and it’s hard to find.”

“When is their show?”

“Next week,” Pei Dongshi was cautious, “What’s wrong?”

“Tell Zhenzhen not to send it yet to avoid trouble. The jewelry set I provided, the design couldn’t have leaked. Very few have seen the drawings, but many in the company know my password. Search for the insider. The day before Rose’s show, E.Y will also hold one.”

Pei Dongshi’s eyelid twitched, but he kept a calm facade, “Haven’t you always disliked these things?”

He also recognized that Rose’s earrings had a high similarity to what Nan Jiaojiao designed. There were necklaces yet to be announced, and it was indeed early to conclude that they were copied. Years ago, Rose’s downfall was because her works were revealed to heavily borrow from Sweetheart’s early designs, thinking too much time had passed for anyone to notice. Initially, she put effort into adding her designs to the copies, but later, the modifications were minimal. Fortunately, she wasn’t a celebrity, didn’t have large traffic, and when the plagiarism was exposed, the company valued her and suppressed the news, making her quiet for a few years.

The launch event back then was held grudgingly, claiming a temporary retreat to travel the world for inspiration and an irregular comeback.

From Rose’s perspective, she indeed didn’t plagiarize Sweetheart, but the style was recognizable. Currently, Nan Jiaojiao’s public identity is just as an apprentice designer. Even if she copied her and got caught, from a fame standpoint, she could crush the newcomer.

So Pei Dongshi and Nan Jiaojiao weren’t worried at all.

When Nan Jiaojiao said, “I don’t like it, but I dislike even more using my things to exchange for fame and profit.”

Pei Dongshi set the plan right there, “Then let’s hold the first autumn show.”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at him, “You’ve long made up your mind, why did you ask me?”

“Can’t I eat? Just mentioning it to you, plus I’m not freeloading off your meal.”

Nan Jiaojiao put her hands on her hips right there, “Bo Yanching’s money is my money too. Have some decency. Him providing for my meals for life is already quite a grievance, does he also have to deal with my relatives’ mouths?”

Pei Dongshi glared, “I’m one of those relatives? I’m in that category?”
