Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1416: Who Says We Plagiarized?

At this moment, Chang Jingshu heard these words and directly stood in front of Xu Ke. Although she couldn’t deal with the chairman of Headquarters, she certainly had methods for dealing with these reporters.

"Regarding this matter, our branch will provide an explanation later, but what we want to say is that our branch has not committed plagiarism, and this issue concerns our entire branch and has nothing to do with the president."

"Today, the chairman of Headquarters came to our branch merely to observe the recent developments, with no malicious intent. We hope the reporters are clear about this."

Chang Jingshu spoke with great diplomacy, hoping that the situation would not escalate to an irreconcilable level; otherwise, when these reporters found out, they would probably cause trouble for Xiao Group again, and handling those competitors in the market would be challenging.

But at this moment, how could Su Zining pass up this opportunity? Hearing Chang Jingshu speak like that, it was evident she wanted to suppress the situation. Apparently, there’s indeed a problem within the branch, and if she didn’t speak up, these reporters might remain unaware.

So now, Su Zining, as if given an opportunity, quickly pushed aside Chang Jingshu and stood in front of the reporters’ cameras.

"Regarding this matter, the branch will definitely not give you the correct answer, but I’ve always been with my father-in-law, so I know something. Now, the situation at the branch is terrible."

"It’s not only that the branch plagiarized Yu Group’s work, but now they refuse to acknowledge it, which is why my father-in-law traveled such a long distance to the branch to handle these matters. So, reporters, rest assured, our branch will provide you with an answer."

When Su Zining said these words, she clearly considered herself a part of the Xiao Family and even took herself as the branch’s chairman. After all, for so many days, Su Zining had been promising to take over this branch, and reportedly, this branch is performing exceptionally well. Once she takes over, there’ll be a good future, so she might as well develop a good rapport with these reporters now.

Therefore, when Su Zining eagerly answered questions, she placed all responsibility on Xu Ke.

Inadvertently, she also wanted to establish a good image for herself, and though the reporters were eager to find scoops, deep down, they cursed Su Zining, thinking she was utterly foolish.

This person clearly isn’t part of Xiao Group. Could they have been sent by Xiao Group’s competitors? That’s possible too.

But then why is she on such good terms with Xiao Zhen? Thinking of this, the reporters couldn’t help but gossip.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen saw that the two pieces of animation even differed in genre; how could there be plagiarism?

Suddenly, he felt like he was being played, and the assistant beside Xiao Zhen was even more helpless. If only the chairman had listened, he would have already gone home. What was Su Zining meddling for, bringing reporters here? It’s difficult to wrap things up now.

Xiao Zhen’s face was darkened, while Su Zining assumed Xiao Zhen’s face was dark because the branch had indeed plagiarized others’ animations, leading to such an expression. Thus, Su Zining spoke to the reporters with even more confidence.

"Rest assured, our Xiao Group will definitely provide you with an explanation about the plagiarism issue..."

Su Zining didn’t finish her sentence but suddenly felt a pain on her face, followed by a dizzy sensation. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Zhen’s face was darkened, and Xiao Zhen kicked over directly. All the reporters were stunned; what was happening?

"What explanation? Who needs an explanation? Who does Xiao Group owe an explanation to? Besides, Xiao Group plagiarized whose work? Why are you talking nonsense here? This is a matter for Xiao Group; what does it have to do with you?"

Xiao Zhen was infuriated. He only came here today to stir up trouble, but now everything wasn’t about plagiarism, and Su Zining had even brought reporters over, insisting on promising them. What now? These things are false.

Especially hearing Su Zining speak that way, Xiao Zhen became even angrier, disregarding everything, and struck Su Zining. Su Zining got up from the ground, looking at Xiao Zhen with grievances.

"But, father-in-law, isn’t this matter like that? I specifically came here to help you."

Xiao Zhen, upon hearing this, disliked her even more. How could his son-in-law not catch on? Didn’t he see they were wrong to come here? But still, at this time, Su Zining didn’t understand at all and still asked like that, unwittingly making a disgrace of himself as Headquarters’ chairman.

"I have my own way of handling this matter, so don’t say anything anymore."

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he glared at Xu Ke; if anyone was to blame, it was that Xu Ke did not clarify things beforehand.

"Is this interesting to you? Insisting on putting me in such a predicament, are you satisfied now?"

"And all the content from our company is original. Why don’t you post on Weibo to clarify to everyone? Why are you hiding? You have such schemes just to push me to this extent, don’t you?"

Xiao Zhen found no trouble, but all the reporters were here; certainly, something would be reported tomorrow. So Xiao Zhen put all the blame on Xu Ke, leaving everyone speechless.

Wasn’t it you, the elder, who came looking for trouble? Yet, not finding any trouble, you pushed everything onto others, isn’t that a bit unfair?

At this point, Xiao Zhen’s assistant feared he’d cause further issues, so he stepped forward, shielding the cameras from the reporters.

"Today’s situation is indeed a misunderstanding. We just came over to check on the branch and nothing else. As for the online rumors, they’re definitely just rumors, and we hope these rumors will stop soon. Moreover, any keen person can see that everything our branch does is original, and we hope everyone can support Xiao Group more. Please disperse now."

Seeing no more drama and with the assistant clearly driving them away, the reporters left reluctantly.

But at this moment, how could Xu Ke let her grievances go unwitnessed?

"Since the chairman confidently came here seeking evidence of plagiarism, now hasn’t found any, and the chairman has personally proven that our branch has done no plagiarism, I hope the chairman apologizes to our branch and me. Otherwise, without the chairman’s integrity, how can our branch continue working with you?"

Xu Ke’s words were like a bomb thrown on flat ground, leaving everyone astonished.
