2160 Twins
Qiao Weiyang said calmly, “If you hadn’t insisted on snatching it, I would have forgotten about it. Liangting, I’m sorry that I’m only telling you this now.”
Only when she spoke to Li Liangting did Qiao Weiyang’s voice contain emotions.
Li Liangting shook her head excitedly. “You don’t have to apologize. I’m overjoyed. I was too soft-hearted. I didn’t expect people to be so unpredictable. Thank you for helping me consider these things in the past.”
The expressions of Old Madam Qiao and Huang Shumin changed.
Qiao Jierou clenched her fists. Her breathing quickened, and her facial features became twisted.
Lin Heng subconsciously looked at Qiao Jierou. “Jierou, is the patent for this fabric really Li Liangting’s?”
The truth was right in front of them. There was no room for denial.
Qiao Jierou shook her head aggrievedly, unable to think of an excuse.
She subconsciously looked at Xu Changfeng and asked him for help with her gaze. Xu Changfeng had always liked her. It was also because of this that Qiao Jierou had always treated him as a gun to deal with Qiao Weiyang.
Old Madam Qiao didn’t look too good either. She looked at Qiao Jierou and asked, “Jierou, Lin Heng asked you a question. Is it true?”
“What’s there to argue about?” Li Liangting looked at their hypocritical appearances and found them disgusting. “The patent is mine. It’s always been mine. You’re really funny. You have the cheek to apply for a patent with the fabric I developed in the past. I applied for mine two years ago. Could it be that I time-traveled two years back to make the application and frame you?”
Qiao Jierou took two steps back aggrievedly.
Xu Changfeng finally stood up. “Li Liangting, if you have anything to say, just come at me. There’s no need to cause trouble for Director Qiao. I’m responsible for everything myself. It has nothing to do with her.”
As soon as she said this, Qiao Jierou’s expression finally recovered.
If Xu Changfeng took the blame for this matter, it would have nothing to do with her.
“So, you admit that you stole something from me?”
“What do you mean by stealing? You used to be a member of the company. I was just using your resources in the company. Even if you have a patent, it doesn’t count as stealing.”
Li Liangting glanced at Qiao Weiyang and received the message in her eyes. She knew that it was useless to talk to someone like Xu Changfeng, so she went straight to the point. “I’m no longer a member of the company, and the patent for the fabric is also mine. So, now that you’re using my fabric, shouldn’t you pay the patent fee?”
Seeing that Xu Changfeng wanted to deny it, Li Liangting didn’t give him a chance at all. She raised the document in her hand. “I’ve already asked my lawyer to help investigate and collect evidence. The fabric you’re using is clearly my patent. There’s an introduction to my patent in all your publicity brochures and commitment letters to clients. A large part of the reason why you were able to sell so many clothes in advance was because of my fabric. It’s useless to change the contents now.”
Old Madam Qiao looked at Xu Changfeng angrily. “You! How could you do such a thing?!”
She was extremely disappointed. Seeing that a good deal was about to be ruined here, her mean and indifferent face was filled with anger.
“I’m sorry, Old Madam.” Xu Changfeng had already taken responsibility for Qiao Jierou, so he would take responsibility for the rest.
Old Madam Qiao stared at Li Liangting and said to Xu Changfeng, “Didn’t you plan to pay her the patent fee previously? Bring over the previous contract!”
Xu Changfeng immediately asked his assistant to send the previous contract over.
“Miss Li, this is the contract we agreed on previously. Please sign it now.”
Li Liangting didn’t even look at the contract. Her voice was filled with mockery. “It’s too late now!”
Qiao Jierou’s heart was filled with regret. If she had signed the contract with Li Liangting earlier, she would just have to pay an extra sum of money.
Looking at Li Liangting’s attitude now, what she had to pay was far from a sum of money.
Old Madam Qiao asked, “How much do you want? What else do you want?”
“If I don’t authorize you to use this batch of fabric, your clothes won’t be able to be listed on the market. They can only be left in the warehouse, and you won’t even be able to recover a single cent! Now is the time for you to beg me; it’s not the time for me to beg you!”
Xu Changfeng stood up. “I apologize. Previously, I wanted to control the cost, so I took your technology and didn’t sign a contract with you. There’s reciprocity in business. I hope things won’t get so ugly. Everyone should take a step back. I’ll give you three times the compensation. Let us continue to use the fabric.”
Old Madam Qiao nodded. This was similar to what she had thought.
“I don’t care about money anymore. Don’t even think about using any of my fabric!”
“Li Liangting, if you still want to survive in this industry, you should know the shares of our Qiao family and the Lin family in this market. If your reputation is ruined, you won’t have a shot anywhere else in the entire industry. We can publicly restore your reputation, but the premise is that you take the money and leave. Let us use the fabric.” Old Madam Qiao suppressed her anger and proposed a solution.
Li Liangting looked at Qiao Weiyang.
Old Madam Qiao knew that Li Liangting was wavering.
No one would not be swayed by money.
Old Madam Qiao was confident.
Qiao Weiyang stood up and said slowly, “It’s not impossible for us to give you the fabric.”
The Qiao family heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Qiao Weiyang’s next words shocked them. “I don’t want the money, but I have one request. You’re not allowed to use the brand Ocean anymore!”
“How is that possible?!” Huang Shumin immediately shouted. The Qiao family had relied on Ocean to enter a wider market and occupy a higher market share.
How many people bought their clothes just because of the name Ocean?
If they gave up on it, wouldn’t they have to start all over again?
Lin Heng also said, “Weiyang, you’re going too far. How can you do this to the Qiao family?”
“I founded the brand, and I designed most of the clothes. It was given to you by me, so it should belong to me!”
“But you’re a member of the Qiao family. Your things should belong to the Qiao family!” Old Madam Qiao said angrily.
“Oh, you’re admitting that I’m a member of the Qiao family now? Why didn’t you admit that I was a member of the Qiao family in the past? Every time something happens and you need me to bear the consequences, you think of me as a member of the Qiao family. But when something bad happens to me, the same doesn’t happen!”
Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth and pointed at Qiao Weiyang. “You were raised by the Qiao family, so you’re from the Qiao family!”
“I wasn’t raised by the Qiao family!”
