Ruan Xingwan sat in the lounge for half an hour, scrolling through the news on his phone.
The situation has even intensified, with many people claiming to be designers coming out to crusade and demanding a fair explanation.
However, none of the designers who had participated in the competition before made a fuss.
These people are obviously someone behind the scenes, deliberately making things worse.
Ruan Xingwan's eyes hurt from looking at it, so he turned off his phone.
Another half an hour later, there were footsteps at the door. Ruan Xingwan quickly got up, but the person who came in was indeed Lin Nan.
Lin Nandao: "Miss Ruan, the chairman has convened an emergency board of directors. I don't know when it will end. Why don't you go back first..."
When Ruan Xingwan heard this, he was silent for a few seconds before gently nodding: "Okay."
If she continues to stay here, it won't make any difference.
After Lin Nan sent Ruan Xingwan downstairs, he hurried back.
Ruan Xingwan turned around, looked at the brightly lit building, frowned, and suddenly made a decision.
Sitting in the car, Ruan Xingwan took out her mobile phone, found Shen Zixi's phone number that she had saved before, and dialed him. After the call was connected, she said: "Are you free now? I want to chat with you."
Shen Zixi happened to be on the road: "Okay, where can we meet?"
After Ruan Xingwan asked about his location, he chose a cafe that was a good distance away.
Ten minutes later, Ruan Xingwan and Shen Zixi got off the car almost at the same time.
When Shen Zixi saw her, he raised his eyebrows. Even if Ruan Xingwan didn't say it, he knew the purpose of her coming to him.
Sitting in the coffee shop, Shen Zixi said: "I saw the news, are you planning to file a lawsuit against the person who defamed you?
But now that things are so big, it probably won’t be of much use.”
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "I wanted to ask you how the lawsuit against Lin Zhiyi went."
Shen Zixi was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that she would ask this. After a pause, he said: "Lin Zhiyuan is putting pressure on her, but don't worry, I will be able to do it in no more than a week at most..."
"tonight."
Shen Zixi thought for a moment that he had heard wrong, and confirmed again: "What?"
Ruan Xingwan said softly: "Tonight, I will send a lawyer's letter directly to Lin Zhiyi in the name of Yang Guifen. The other contents can be a little vague, but it must be pointed out that Yang Guifen went to my studio to cause trouble under her instructions.
And she also once made a move on my brother, who was just a student."
Shen Zixi immediately understood what she meant. Lin had caused a lot of troubles due to project issues some time ago, but now if he pointed out that Lin Zhiyi had used these shameful methods, he even used dirty methods to try to get rid of her.
Ruining a college student will probably generate a lot of public opinion: "Are you going to use this to divert attention?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "This is just one aspect. A week is too long. Lin Zhiyuan has enough time to make other preparations. Only by doing this can he be caught off guard."
"But if you do this, Lin Zhiyuan must know that this matter has something to do with you."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "From the beginning, I was a thorn in his eye. Even if I didn't do these things, would he still be kind to me?"
Shen Zixi felt that what she said made sense. If you were fighting with an old fox like Lin Zhiyuan and were afraid of offending him, you might as well just kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Okay, I'll go back to the law firm now."
Shen Zixi looked at the time and said, "The lawyer's letter will be sent out in an hour at the earliest, is that okay?"
"Can."
Ruan Xingwan stood up and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you should."
After Shen Zixi finished speaking, he left quickly without stopping any longer.
Ruan Xingwan did not leave, but sat in the coffee shop, took out his mobile phone and dialed Lewis' number.
Louis was also confused when they encountered this incident, but there were too many angry people online. Under such circumstances, issuing a clarification and statement would not help at all. They could not provide any evidence to prove the fact.
It's not what it says on the Internet.
And this kind of situation is like asking you to find a way to prove that you are yourself.
These rumors are inexplicable and unreasonable.
After receiving Ruan Xingwan's call, Louis said: "Ruan, we are discussing how to respond to this matter. Don't worry, we will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I'm causing trouble for you. I'm calling you to ask you who was at the dinner that day."
Lewis was stunned: "You mean, this recording might have been recorded and leaked by someone who was eating that day?"
"no."
Ruan Xingwan thought for a while, then said in a different way, "Among the judges who went to dinner that day, there should be no judges who gave me low scores."
Hearing what she said, Louis thought carefully about the situation at that time.
When the final results came out, Robert invited all the judges to dinner in Wen Qian's name, but a few of them made excuses to avoid it. The ones who went later, except for him, Robert and the other two judges, gave Ruan Xing
It seems that none of the judges who voted late were indeed there.
What kind of coincidence is this?
Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Ruan Xingwan already knew the answer and explained to Louis: "If you are a judge and you give high marks to the work you support, but in the end this work does not win, but another work wins,
Will you go to the dinner party of the winning designer?”
Louis was startled when he heard this. According to common sense, it would not be possible.
On the one hand, I feel embarrassed because I didn’t give a high score, and on the other hand, I feel more or less unworthy of the work that had the potential to win the award but failed.
At that time, Ruan Xingwan did not win the championship, and he also felt very strange. Wen Qian's work could not be said to be bad. She also had her highlights, but in every aspect, she was still inferior to Ruan Xingwan's work.
And the reason why he went to that dinner was because he was the person in charge of the competition. No matter who won the prize, he should congratulate him.
Thinking of this, Lewis suddenly understood something.
Ruan Xingwan also confirmed her suspicion at this moment. She didn't even have to wonder who handed this recording to the media. There were only a few people in the hotel that day.
She knows best what Wen Qian is like.
If she thought before that it was normal for the game to be won and lost, then this incident could prove that Wen Qian's championship was not worthy of the name. It was precisely because of this that she was afraid of being robbed of her original title.
A chance to be a champion.
In other words, if Wen Qian deserved to win this championship, nothing like this would have happened next.
Lewis said solemnly: "I will investigate this matter carefully and give you an explanation as soon as possible."
