Chapter 1791 - Xia Ruyas Other Scheme (1/2)

Not many people believed in Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin’s self-directed little drama.

Gu Yihan was a renowned name for many years in the world of fashion design. Her reputation and influence were not something that could be easily shaken by the words of a newbie designer and a fresh entrant into the Chinese market.

More people were willing to believe that this was just part of the Li Corporation’s underhanded ploy to compete with the Wen Corporation in the luxury brands market.

Meanwhile, Wen Corporation had decisively recalled their products. The media and upper-class society couldn’t help gushing. “Old Mr. Wen is still as formidable as he was during his younger days!”

In everyone’s eyes, Wen Corporation’s recall of their clothing was like a vicious slap across Rosy Lane’s face.

With the media frenzy dampened down, Gu Yihan was not too affected by this matter.

Most of the consumers stood on Wen Corporation’s side and showed disdain toward Li Corporation for their dishonest tactics. It was a major blow to the Li Corporation.

Rosy Lane’s move had been a massive miscalculation.

“I heard that Rosy Lane bribed several smaller news agencies to purposely drum up the clothing design piracy incident. You must be more careful. Xia Ruya probably intends to make use of this incident to create some chaos. Although I have been in the media industry for a long time, those smaller news agencies may not heed my request. They are only focused on profits.”

Although the general media didn’t stir up too much news on the incident, Ling Qingxuan had been paying close attention to the matter. It was a contact within the media circles who had informed her of Rosy Lane’s despicable bribery act.

Wen Xinya’s face turned chilly. “I knew that Xia Ruya wouldn’t give up.”

It was mainly Wen Corporation’s aloof response which had dampened the media frenzy toward this incident, but Ling Qingxuan also helped on her end to contain the press.

Meanwhile, Gu Junling had also activated his own connections and helped them out by quite a bit.

Today, Wen Xinya had specially invited them out for a meal to thank them for their efforts.

“What the hell does Xia Ruya want? They did so much to drum up negative publicity on Gu Yihan, but it is obvious that no one believes them. What’s the point of continuing this smear campaign? They are just spoiling their own reputation. Isn’t that contrary to their goals?”

Zhou Tianyu’s face was full of disdain at the mention of Xia Ruya.

Although the Wen Corporation suffered immense losses from the recall of their clothing, the Li Corporation also didn’t benefit much from this smear campaign.

Not only did they take a major hit on their corporate reputation, but their fashion brand was also much affected, with many fans of Gu Yihan lambasting them.

“Xia Ruya has been stubbornly pursuing this matter as this is just a diversion. It may look like she is targeting Gu Yihan, but her true goal is the Wen Corporation’s luxury brands market.”

Gu Junling had been in business for so many years that he was immediately able to discern Xia Ruya’s ulterior motive.

Moreover, Xia Ruya’s move was not that brilliant. Anyone who paid closer attention would be able to see through her actions.

Although crude, it was undeniable that her move was still effective. In order to maintain their established name and dignity as a long-standing brand, the Wen Corporation had not much choice in the way they handled Xia Ruya’s despicable methods.

Realization dawned on Xu Tongxuan and she commented. “The Wen Family recalled two outfits, so there is an empty spot on the market. There is an urgent need now to come up with even better outfits to fill the gap. So Xia Ruya continues to drum up the negative publicity in order to affect Gu Yihan’s mood, such that she is unable to concentrate on creating a better design. In the meantime, the Li Corporation will take advantage of this gap to usurp the Wen Corporation’s market share in the luxury brand sector.”
