Chapter 1348: Chapter 1348: Make an Appointment with Liu Chun

Su Wen had said long ago that plagiarism was ineradicable, what they could do was to ensure the quality and design of their own products. If used properly, those plagiarized styles could even serve as a form of advertisement.

Su Qing had also been mentally prepared for a long time, and had even bought counterfeit bags from her own brand, recognizing the fakes at first glance when held in hand.

No respectable person would buy a clearly counterfeit bag.

The ordinary folks did not need to buy them either, for thrifty families who valued practical living, they were all show and no substance. A canvas bag or a snakeskin pouch was sufficient for carrying things.

So, these minor plagiarism attempts could never amount to anything serious.

But the shop across the street was different, Su Qing had sharp eyes! She could instantly see the malevolence and tremendous ambition in the business across. The decoration and layout of the store were entirely imitated from the Su family’s, audaciously setting up right across from them, which was blatant.

This was sheer arrogance!

And without capital, they couldn’t afford to open such a big store; the initial investment alone was substantial.

“Wait a moment…” Su Qing suddenly stood up, walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and stared intensely at the Suu across the street, she was right, the old lady she had just seen had entered the shop that was still under renovation.

Mother had mentioned, what was grandmother’s name again?

Wang Yinfen?

Yes, that was the name.

Su Qing, in fact, had never acknowledged her grandmother’s family in her heart; whenever mentioned back in Trinity Village with Su Xiu and the others, she would only refer to them by their names. But now suspecting that it was her grandmother’s family stirring up trouble and opening a store just like hers across the street, she felt a wave of stifled discomfort in her heart.

Indignation, frustration, aggrievement, hatred… an indescribable taste of emotions.

“It really is that old lady,” Yao Fang was also surprised. “This means we have been secretly targeted for a while now. Doing business in the province is indeed more challenging than back in Clear Water County. So, what do we do next? Just sit and watch them plagiarize?”

Su Qing pursed her lips and said coldly, “It’s okay if it’s just plagiarism, I’m more worried about if they have any trickier schemes.”

“Should we discuss this in tomorrow’s meeting and hear what everyone thinks?”

“Not necessary for now, keep an eye on this side. I need to find someone to help investigate clearly,” Su Qing quickly adjusted her mood and even reassured Yao Fang, “As long as we do our part well, imitation and plagiarism are normal, and there will be plenty more such situations in the future. They’re trivial matters, not worth taking too seriously, understand?”

Yao Fang gave a thumbs up, “Absolutely, you’re right.”

“Hehe.” Su Qing laughed and shook her head.

“Hold on, I’ll make a call and arrange to meet someone tonight.”

The store was equipped with a telephone, and Su Qing dialed Changhe Machinery Factory.

“Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?”

“This is Su Qing. I’m looking for Liu Chun. Is he available?” Su Qing didn’t want to bother her brother-in-law with trivial issues since he was completely devoted to her big sister at the moment.

“The third boss is out on business, and won’t return until this evening.”

“Then please let him know that I’ll come by after work to see him.”

“No problem.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

After the call, they routinely exchanged updates about the business situation in the store, the recommendations from VIP customers summarized by the staff, and discussed the arrangements for the Lantern Festival holiday tomorrow. It was impossible to close the entire day; the store had only closed for six days over New Year’s, and there was absolutely no chance of closing on other days.

The Lantern Festival would simply involve shift rests, with some staff off duty, but how to manage that was Yao Fang’s responsibility.

Su Qing’s role was just to review the schedule and ensure everything was clear in her mind.
