Wen Xinya immediately called Gu Yihan on the phone after watching this dramatic scene on the news.
“What is going on?”
Wen Xinya was just asking, she wasn’t suspicious or anything. She had known Teacher Gu for so many years that she naturally trusted her and her talent. She believed that Teacher Gu would never illegally copy another person’s designs.
She had made the call just to gain some clarity on the situation.
There was a silence on the other end of the phone, before Gu Yihan asked, “Do you trust me?”
Wen Xinya replied resolutely, “Of course I do.”
Gu Yihan breathed out in relief. “Lu Bingxin does have some talent, so I gave her more attention and guidance then. As for the illegal copying of the designs, I really have no idea what is going on.”
At this point, Gu Yihan felt extremely vexed. She had never treated Lu Bingxin badly while she was at the Wen Corporation. But now, not only had Lu Bingxin jumped ship to Rosy Lane, she was even maligning her.
Wen Xinya said, “I know, don’t think too much. You are innocent, there is no need for you to prove yourself. Matters of the business world have nothing to do with you. The Wen Corporation will seek justice for you.”
Wen Xinya didn’t pursue further.
Gu Yihan felt very touched as she said gratefully, “It is all thanks to the Wen Family that I have my current achievements. But I also understand that if the Wen Corporation wishes to truly develop into a world-class luxury brand, you cannot forever only rely on me. That’s why I have always wanted to groom an exceptional fashion designer for the company, and have offered more guidance toward those designers who possess more potential.”
All these years, she had existed as one of the main pillars of the Wen Corporation.
Wen Corporation’s clothing department accounted for half of the company’s sales. If she were to fall one day, a major hole would appear within the Wen Corporation and crisis would descend over the entire company.
Not only would the morale of the Wen Corporation be affected, but the very foundation of the company would also be shaken.
Wen Xinya couldn’t help feeling regretful. “It’s not easy to groom an exemplary fashion designer.”
That was the reason why she had been so studiously learning fashion design herself.
Gu Yihan started to say something but paused. Her expression darkened and she changed the subject. “I am just worried that this incident will cause quite a bit of damage to the Wen Corporation.”
“Don’t think too much. I will handle this. Don’t bother about what others think during this period. Just continue on as per normal. You don’t have to respond to any media queries. If they bother you too much, just give me a call. I will be contactable at all times.”

After hanging up, Wen Xinya rushed over to the Wen Corporation.
“Grandpa, Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin have publicly accused Teacher Gu of pirating Lu Bingxin’s designs. How do you plan to handle this?”
Although she was no longer the acting Chairman, this matter concerned Teacher Gu and she had to do something. Moreover, she was still a member of the board of directors.
“I have already recalled those affected outfits and stopped their sale on the market. The public relations department has already issued a statement saying that we will investigate the matter. If we get proof that Lu Bingxin has wrongly accused Gu Yihan, we will sue her and the Li Corporation.”
Recalling the outfits from the market would cause major losses for the Wen Corporation. Nevertheless, Old Mr. Wen had to think of the long-term. He was doing this not because he was showing weakness to the Li Corporation, but to protect Gu Yihan.
No matter what, they could not let Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin have further opportunity to besmear Gu Yihan’s name.
Wen Xinya sighed. “Grandpa, old age has not slowed you down at all!”
For all those scheming folks who intended to make use of this incident to fan the flames of controversy—Grandpa’s decisive actions were an instant stopper to their nefarious plans.
Meanwhile, the public relations department had handled their side of things rather well. No one could nitpick at anything.
They had shown everyone how magnanimous the Wen Corporation was, but at the same time how the company was not one to back down.
Old Mr. Wen continued, “The board of directors has already launched a full-scale investigation. Before the truth is uncovered, the Wen Corporation will not make any response to Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin’s allegations. We will not answer any of the media questions related to this matter.”
This clearly showed Wen Corporation’s attitude toward the matter.
No matter how much of a fuss Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin tried to kick up, the Wen Corporation would remain unshakable.
Wen Xinya nodded. Grandpa had thought things through very carefully. “At this time, anything we say can be misconstrued and used by the Li Corporation to attack us. Keeping silent is the best policy for now.”
However, this did not mean the Wen Corporation was bowing down to Li Corporation’s antics.
Faced with such a situation, the Wen Corporation didn’t shrink away from its responsibilities but recalled its goods without balking at the cost of doing so. Their actions were the best proof of their innocence.
In addition, Wen Corporation’s actions were also an account to the media and the public. As a result, the press and the public would not keep hounding the company to answer for the matter.
Old Mr. Wen said in a mild tone, “The Li Corporation actually dared to tell the media that they cannot be compared to established brands like us. So we must respond in the manner of a dignified, established name, to let people see clearly how the Wen Corporation is willing to sacrifice profits rather than stoop to such low levels.”
The Wen Corporation was a long-standing and established brand within Country Z and naturally had to protect its image. Remaining aloof from Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin’s wild accusations was a direct display of their lack of guilt, as well as how open-handed they could be.
The media and the public were no fools. Li Corporation’s entry into the Chinese market was a direct challenge to Wen Corporation’s hold over the luxury brands scene. The more fuss the Li Corporation kicked up, the more people would feel that the illegal copying incident must be a farce put up by the Li Corporation.
And Gu Yihan would be quietly forgotten in the midst of it all.
Regardless of whether they were able to find out the truth in the end, the furor over this matter would die off because of the Wen Corporation’s aloof attitude.
Unless the Li Corporation dared to bring this matter to the legal courts.
But it was obvious that they wouldn’t dare. Otherwise, they would not have gone crying to the media but would have directly sued Gu Yihan.
Wen Xinya couldn’t help laughing out loud. “Experience does come with age! Grandpa has thought through everything very well. Li Corporation wants to draw out a whole drama, but we will refuse to engage. Let them sing and dance on stage all alone. They will be the ones left red-faced.”
Grandpa’s move was indeed very well-considered and meticulous. Wen Xinya felt great admiration for him.
