Black Lotus Flower Transmigrates into a Dog Blood Novel’s Male Supporting Role

At the press conference, there was a commotion.

“Out of the 20 new fashion items, 12 of them are copied?”

“Who did they copy from?”

“No wonder I thought one of the collections looked very different from before.”

“Is it true? Isn’t Xing Hao the cheating ex-husband? Maybe he’s intentionally causing trouble.”

“It’s precisely because of the ex-husband that we know more. I’m almost certain they copied.”

Shen Huai stood up and shouted at Xing Hao, “You’re talking nonsense! How could MU use copied designs?”

The security guards who were maintaining order at the scene rushed towards Xing Hao when they saw Shen Huai getting angry, intending to drag him out of the conference hall.

But Mu Qingyan raised his arm and gestured for them to stop, asking calmly, “Mr. Xing, if you’re so certain that 12 of the new products just released are copied, then please tell us which 12 are copied?”

Xing Hao looked confidently at the cameras pointed at him and said, “One coat, three dresses, two pairs of pants, and one pair of boots from the Autumn Moon series, as well as two coats, two tops, and one dress from the Maple Flower series.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Qingyan, who appeared shocked and unable to refute him, feeling that he had finally gotten his revenge and was extremely pleased.

But what Mu Qingyan was thinking was, is that all?

Qiao Lengnan, who was standing on stage, was furious. “Where is the evidence?”

Xing Hao took out several initial design drafts and line drawings and handed them to the reporters closest to him, saying, “These clothes are actually designed by designers Fang Yiming and Yuan Youzhi.”

A reporter asked, “Aren’t Fang Yiming and Yuan Youzhi designers at MU?”

“They were, but they’ve been designers at my company for the past few weeks.”

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Xingh Ho raised his voice a few decibels and said, “After Fang Yiming and Yuan Youzhi left MU, Mu Qingyan instructed Yang Rui to steal their latest designs and use them in the new products released at the autumn press conference.”

“Oh my god, Mu Qingyan is such a person!”

“MU is done for. I just ordered more than a dozen luxury items, I need to cancel my order right away!”

“Thank goodness I turned on my recorder early, I have some big news to write about this time, haha.”

“Mu Qingyan has been in the news a lot recently, looks like he’ll be trending number one in five minutes.”

“I hope the stock price of Mu Group won’t drop. I need to sell it quickly.”

“On site, there were people who were shocked, some who were regretful, and some who were schadenfreude watching the show.

The audience below had a strong reaction, and many people casted unfriendly glances at Mu Qingyan.

However, Mu Qingyan was calm and composed, not anxious or angry.

He looked at Xing Hao with a mixture of disdain and mockery: “It’s really hard for you, an outsider, to remember all twelve products.”

“Hmph.” Xing Hao snorted coldly. He thought Mu Qingyan was just struggling to survive and wanted to ridicule him before he completely failed.

“There are some things you said that are correct. Fang Yiming and Yuan You were indeed poached by you, just last week,” Mu Qingyan said slowly, as if he was only talking about someone else’s affairs. “After the two designers left, Yang Rui did indeed contact them and obtained their latest design drawings.”

Mu Qingyan admitted it so quickly?

The reporter’s cameras all turned to the handsome and calm man on stage.

Xing Hao was delighted, “So you admit it?”

Mu Qingyan pretended to be surprised and sneered, “How could it be? Have you watched too many IQ-lowering dramas, thinking that I’m a silly, sweet person?”

“You!” Xing Hao’s face sank, and he didn’t expect Mu Qingyan to tease him like this.

The audience below were anxious and expectant because of Mu Qingyan’s teasing.

“Mr. Mu, please tell us…”

“Yes, tell us what’s going on?”

Mu Qingyan’s gaze turned into a sharp blade, and he said sternly, “The design drawings were not stolen by Yang Rui, but were deliberately given to him by Fang Yiming.”

The audience below shone with excitement – the press conference turned into a scene from a spy movie.

And, it’s quite exciting.

Xing Hao was not panicked either. He pretended to be calm and retorted, “Ridiculous, you can say whatever you want? Why would Fang Yiming deliberately give his own design to him? Yang Rui is not his disciple!”

Several other designers from other companies below were at a loss, “Isn’t Yang Rui Fang Yiming’s disciple? We all know that in the industry.”

“You see, you obviously don’t know much. Yang Rui has been Fang Yiming’s disciple for ten years,” Mu Qingyan smiled, and it was a naked ridicule, “So what? The disciple stole the master’s design, which is unjust.”

“What’s the point of that? If you’re going to be unreasonable, then I’ll make you convinced.”

Mu Qingyan had Ye Qiqi hand a USB drive to the staff member who controlled the screen. Soon, two people appeared on the big screen, Fang Yiming and Yang Rui.

This was a surveillance video retrieved from a coffee shop.

As Mu Qingyan said, Fang Yiming did give the design to Yang Rui himself.

Fang Yiming said he felt guilty for leaving MU company during such an important time of the autumn release, so he wanted to provide the styles he and Yuan You recently designed, which could help the old employer.

Someone in the audience said, “Did Fang Yiming do it on purpose? If he really feels guilty, why did he leave MU a week before the press conference? He could have waited until after the press conference to leave.”

Others also said, “Yeah, it feels like he’s trying to have his cake and eat it too.”

“After Yang Rui told me about his meeting with Fang Yiming, I found it very suspicious, so I never used Fang Yiming and Yuan You’s design drawings.”

With that, Mu Qingyan clicked the remote control and several design sketches drawn by Fang Yiming and Yuan You appeared on the screen.

At this moment, a designer exclaimed, “These design sketches are not for the new products that were just released.”

Another designer chimed in, “Yes, they are completely unrelated designs, and the difference is night and day.”

“That’s why I said Mr. Xing is an outsider and didn’t realize that we never used these designs,” Mu Qingyan said with a mocking smile, continuing to taunt Xing Hao. “I heard that you acquired a clothing company recently. Now it seems that the future of that company is worrying.”

“How could that be,” Xing Hao said incredulously, considering he had paid a high price to buy off Fang Yiming and Yuan You.

Moreover, Fang Yiming told him that he had already convinced Yang Rui and even told him which styles in the new products were using their new designs.

Did Fang Yiming suddenly turn against him? Or did Mu Qingyan become smarter?

Looking at Xing Hao, who was speechless, Mu Qingyan laughed and said, “Mr. Xing, how does it feel to lose both your money and your wife?”

Xing Hao refused to admit defeat and shouted even louder, “If you didn’t steal someone else’s design, how could you redesign so many styles in just a week? There are no other designers at MU who can design as well as Fang Yiming and Yuan You!”

“Fuck!” Sun Qian, the head of the design department, wanted to punch someone after hearing that.

Mu Qingyan, amused by Xing Hao’s unreasonable behavior, switched the screen to the MU company logo and said, “In that case, please welcome the designers of the Autumn Moon and Maple Flower series to the stage.”

Music played as two young men walked on stage.

One of them was wearing the men’s Autumn Moon series, with a delicate and handsome appearance despite being only in his late twenties.

The other was wearing the men’s Maple Flower series, looking only in his thirties, with a bright and elegant appearance.

There were cries of surprise from the audience, “Fei Zhe! Lucas!”

Click, click…

Reporters rushed to take pictures and ask questions, “Were the Autumn Moon and Maple Flower series designed by Fei Zhe and Lucas?”

“When did they join the MU brand?”

“How long did it take each designer to design these two series?”

Mu Qingyan introduced, “Yes, Fei Zhe and Lucas are MU’s new designers. These two talented designers designed these two new series in just three days.”

“Truly amazing.”

“It turns out to be Fei Zhe and Lucas, no wonder these two series are very different from the previous MU style, but there is a certain inner connection. It’s like the MU brand has undergone transformation, reborn and upgraded to a higher level and taste.”

“Haha, you put it very well.”

After Fei Zhe and Lucas proved Mu Qingyan’s words to be true, they thanked their many supporters and asked the public to continue to pay attention to the MU brand before stepping down from the stage.

“I have to say, Mu Qingyan really has a good eye, he picked Fei Zhe and Lucas.”

“Yeah, he definitely knows his stuff!”

“Fortunately, my response was slow, and I didn’t return the bag and necklace. Xing Hao almost caused me to lose them.”

Back on the stage, Qiao Lengnan asked Sun Qian, “I heard they refused invitations from many big brands before, saying that they only do independent design and only accept brand collaborations, not any brand company employment. How did you manage to get them to our company? You’re really talented!”

Sun Qian shrugged, “Fei Zhe and Lucas came not because of me, but because of President Mu.”

“President Mu? How did he do it?” Qiao Lengnan became even more curious.

“It’s his personal charm. President Mu, after his divorce, is really different from before.”

Sun Qian looked at Mu Qingyan, who was still mocking Xing Hao on stage, and whispered to Qiao Lengnan, “Do you think President Mu calculated all this beforehand and expected Xing Hao to make a scene today? That’s why he made us keep it a secret until today before announcing the new designers.”

Qiao Lengnan nodded, “I think our President Mu has become a bit cunning.”

The man in front of the camera, radiating endless charm and brilliance, looked at Xing Hao and said with a smile, “Mr. Xing, do you have anything else to say?”

Xing Hao’s face turned pale and embarrassed, “…”

Mu Qingyan said, “Since the truth is out, please have the security throw Mr. Xing, who has defamed himself, out.”

Looking at the two burly men propping up Xing Hao, who was already weak in the legs, Mu Qingyan seemed to remember something and said to him, “Oh, by the way, I heard that you coerced Fang Yiming to hand over the design drawings to Yang Rui. Spreading rumors, slandering and defaming are illegal, Mr. Xing. Those who do evil will eventually meet their own downfall.”

The security guards were very obedient, and after carrying Xing Hao to the hotel entrance, they really lifted him up and threw him out of the YX Star Hotel.

Xing Hao fell to the ground and ate mud.

Reporters stationed outside the hotel captured the scene.

Soon, the entertainment news “Xing Hao uses tricks to slander ex-husband Mu Qingyan, fails and gets thrown out of YX Star Hotel” was wildly circulated on the internet.

After the banquet, Mu Qingyan had his driver take him to EVOL Bar owned by Shen Huai.

Shen Huai, who had left the banquet early, welcomed him with a few bottles of champagne and shouted with his other friends, “Welcome our young master Mu!”

The loud noise startled Mu Qingyan awake.

Shen Huai, dressed in colorful clothes, jumped off the table, grabbed Mu Qingyan’s shoulder with his right arm and laughed, “You can’t escape today, we won’t go back until we’re drunk!”

“Okay, okay.” Mu Qingyan smiled and drank a glass of champagne.

A wealthy second generation who often hung out with them laughed and said, “Huai bro, your bodyguard company not only has powerful bodyguards, but also tough security guards. I saw the video of them throwing Xing Hao out of the YX Star Hotel today, it was really amazing!”

Shen Huai rolled his eyes to the sky and said, “It was polite of them not to beat him up.”

Amidst the laughter and noise, Mu Qingyan drank several more glasses.

The group of people stayed at EVOL Bar until half past two in the morning before leaving. Mu Qingyan was already drunk and stumbling when he walked out of the bar.

He didn’t take a few steps before falling into someone’s arms.
