When I said Gulisa's name, Li Sheng was stunned. He looked at me in astonishment.
I said to him again: "He is now in a company called Anrui Clothing. My company was sued by Anrui Clothing on the grounds that our designs copied their ideas. Now I have received a leaflet from the court.
."
Li Sheng was surprised and said: "Anrui Clothing... I remembered that three months ago I heard that Lisa had started a business again, and the company's name was Anrui Clothing."
"You mean she founded Anrui Clothing?"
"Yes, I know this because I went to the venue when it opened, but I didn't have the money to get to know her, and I knew she didn't want to see me either."
My heart skipped a beat again. This is strange. Isn’t the chairman of Anrui Clothing Wang Yi?
In silence, Li Sheng said again: "Brother Feng, do you still remember Ruian Clothing, right? It was Lisa's father's previous company, which was taken over by your Yuanfeng Group at the time."
Of course I remembered this. I nodded and realized it immediately.
Why is this name so familiar? It turns out that Anrui is the former Ruian.
So, this Anrui costume really belongs to Gu Lisa.
But what happened to Wang Yi?
When I was thinking about this, Li Sheng said to me again: "Brother Feng, did you just say that Lisa sued you?"
"It's not her, it's a woman named Wang Yi. I do have some issues with her. She is the chairman of Anrui Clothing... I just felt strange. How could you say that Anrui is the chairman of the company founded by Gu Lisa?
Is it Wang Yi?"
"This...I don't know, but I'm sure Anrui Clothing was founded by Lisa."
"Okay, let's not care about who founded it. Let's just talk about them suing us for plagiarism. You have to help me clarify this matter, otherwise I will have no choice but to go to court in four days."
Li Sheng said very puzzledly: "Lisa knows that I gave these designs to you. Does she know why she still does this? Is she angry with me for revenge?"
"How do I know this? Anyway, you have to come forward and clarify that you are the author and the ownership of these designs needs to be clarified."
Li Sheng nodded and said thoughtfully: "I'll go talk to Lisa first and see what she says."
I thought about it and realized that we really should talk about it. After all, I didn't want to make the matter so serious.
If we can negotiate well, of course it would be best.
I said to Li Sheng again: "Didn't you say that she doesn't want to see you? How do you go to find her?"
"It's okay. I know where she lives. I'll wait at the door of her community."
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow, it's already so late now."
Li Sheng nodded, then got up from the bed, and while cleaning up the pile of garbage in the room, he said: "Brother Feng, look, I don't have anything to eat here, and I don't know how to entertain you. I'll go out later."
Please eat skewers."
"Then go, don't clean up, come back later to clean up."
"OK."
…
There is a skewers shop not far downstairs. There were quite a lot of people at this time and it was full inside, so we found a seat outside to sit down.
When he went to get the wine, I stopped him: "Stop drinking, you are drunk all the time. Besides, I am not in good health now, so I won't drink anymore."
"Okay, let's have some tea."
While eating, I asked Li Sheng: "Don't you have any plans in the future?"
Li Sheng absentmindedly picked up the skewers and replied, "I don't know! I feel like I have nothing to look forward to in my life."
"Have you ever lived for yourself?"
Li Sheng was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I have lived for myself when my father was still alive. I guess it was influenced by my parents since childhood, right? I have loved art since I was a child, and I also enrolled in an art school after college.
...After graduation, I went to study abroad, also studying fashion design...At that time, I was living for myself, and I wanted to be a designer like Garavali."
At this point, Li Sheng laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said: "Before returning to China, I was determined to bring our own clothing to the world, but when I returned home, I learned of the changes in my family... After my father passed away
, I no longer live for myself, I think about how to start the company again.
But I don’t have the ability! I’m only suitable for design, and I don’t know anything about running a business. What’s more, I was still burdened with so many debts at that time... Later I met you, Brother Feng, and thanks to you, you helped me pay off those debts.
."
Li Sheng gave another wry smile and said: "I really lived for myself during the time when I was with you. That year or so was when I created the most. It wasn't until I fell in love with Lisa that I no longer lived for myself.
, until now..."
I listened carefully to what Li Sheng said and was silent for a long time before I said: "Li Sheng, do you know? You are really a very thoughtful designer. Your work has been recognized by many people, including Xiao Siya, who
Now I am still praising the designs you left behind, saying that they are not up to your level."
Li Sheng smiled bitterly, shook his head in a dejected manner, and could no longer see the light in his eyes.
I said to him again: "What I mean is that you can live for yourself and your ideals. I don't think you should be anyone else, you are you, unique."
Li Sheng still shook his head in despair, sighed and said: "Forget it, I've been like this for the rest of my life. I can't pick up the paintbrush again now."
"Why can't you do anything? It's just that you don't let yourself go."
"Brother Feng, can we stop talking about this?"
"You still don't want to face it."
He stopped talking. In this case, I stopped trying to persuade him.
Because I can't let go, even if I persuade him to come back, I will still be a useless person.
There are some things that he has to deal with on his own. He is indeed very tired from life and needs an outlet.
Next we chatted casually about other things. He asked about Gao Sheng and Chen Dajiang, as well as An Lan and my two children.
After finishing the skewers, Li Sheng called the waiter to pay the bill.
But when he was checking out, he took out his phone and opened his WeChat wallet and was stunned.
I saw that the balance in his WeChat wallet was less than 100.
And our meal cost 120, and he obviously couldn't pay.
Li Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so I had to take out my phone and scan the QR code to pay for the meal.
Li Sheng was even more embarrassed. When he was about to speak to me, I said to him first: "You don't have to say anything. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I can understand your current situation, but I really hope you can come out of it."
Li Sheng lowered his head and sighed heavily.
At this time, my cell phone rang again. I thought it was An Lan calling me to ask about my situation, but when I saw that the caller number turned out to be Wang Yi.
I don’t know why she called me again, but I still answered the call.
"Mr. Chen, I heard you came to Chengdu?"
Hearing her voice, I felt sick all over, and then replied coldly: "You are quite well-informed."
"Of course. Who told me to care about you so much? I know all your whereabouts."
After saying that, she asked me again: "Are you here to see me?"
"You think too much."
"Hey, don't be embarrassed. If you really come to see me, then come and let's catch up on old times tonight..."
"Crazy!" After scolding her, I hung up the phone.
But the moment I put down the phone, Li Sheng suddenly asked me in surprise: "Brother Feng, who was the person who just talked to you? This voice is so familiar to me..."
"That's Wang Yi."
"Wang Yi?" Li Sheng said in a daze, "Do you have a photo of her? That voice sounds like it is the woman I cheated on!"
