Chapter 243
“I heard that the whole plan was cooked up by Ms. Bennett, and she designed all these styles. SY Fashion has swiped our design sketches. Ms. Bennett’s strategy is to tweak the designs and sell them at a lower price. It’s like giving them a taste of their own medicine. SY Fashion’s products will probably pile up, they’ll have a hard time selling them, and they’ll definitely come barking up our tree.”
Watching the live broadcast, Hans Collins noticed that many of the modified designs were top–notch. His little sister–what kind of whiz kid was she to have such talent?
“Boss, I’ve got an idea.” Julian hesitated a bit before speaking up: “Ms. Bennett, maybe we should consider giving her a bonus as a pat on the back? She’s made a huge contribution since joining the company.”
“So you’re suggesting I give my sister a bonus?”
“Sister?” Julian’s eyes popped open. Had he misheard? Ms. Bennett was the boss’s sister?
The boss must be pulling his leg.
But the boss didn’t seem to be joking at all.
Ms. Bennett, could she be the sister he just found?
“Give a bonus to my sister.” Hans Collins mused, “How much would be appropriate?”
“Huh?” Julian was genuinely surprised. Ms. Bennett really was the boss’s sister, but if that was the case, she surely wasn’t short of cash!
“Fifty grand.” Hans Collins pondered, “Would that be too stingy?”
“Fifty grand?” Julian’s eyes bulged out. He worked his tail off all month, and sometimes his bonus was just over ten grand. Sisters were indeed special.
She’s only been working a few days, and she’s getting fifty grand.
Julian felt like he was bleeding internally.
“Boss, is Ms. Bennett really your sister? Fifty grand is more than enough, really! This is unprecedented in our company’s history! I’m sure Ms. Bennett will be thrilled to receive the bonus! It’s not only the company’s recognition but also a brother’s approval.”
“Make it happen.”
“Sure thing.” Julian hastily went to arrange it.
When Arabella heard that the company was giving her a bonus, she thought it was her parents‘ doing and didn’t give it a second thought. After a while of being busy in the office, she got the news that SY Fashion was suing them, and she raised an eyebrow. Finally, the moment came!
She told Dean at her side, “Proceed as planned.”
“Got it.”
Dean quickly rushed to the live broadcast room. By then, Molly had completed the modifications to the last design, and the viewers had reached 1.29 million!
Molly, seeing Dean’s signal, smiled at the camera and said, “That’s all for our new releases today. I saw many of you asking in the comments, Why are we modifying SY Fashion’s new releases? Here, I have security footage to show you.”
Molly showed the audience a surveillance video of Oscar sneaking into Arabella’s office; “This man is our deputy; when our director Arabella was away, he sneaked into her office, took pictures of my design drafts, and sent them to SY Fashion.”
After that, she switched the screen, and when the audience saw the chat logs and voice conversations between Oscar and Jason, they were all shocked.
Who knew there was such under–the–table collusion between companies?
Most people loved a good gossip, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room skyrocketed once again.
“SY Fashion promised our deputy a 30% commission, so he sent all the designs I worked hard on to SY Fashion and then turned around and accused me of plagiarism.”
