"You..."

Jian Ran didn’t want to get involved with Han Siming too much, so she walked up to the microphone, looked at the crowd below the stage, and pursed her cherry lips.

"Hello everyone, I am Jian Ran, the manager of the design department... I apologize again, the Gu Family’s design department has encountered a plagiarism incident, and we owe everyone an explanation."

After speaking, Jian Ran bent over in apology.

As she bent over, Jian Ran kept protecting her abdomen to ensure the safety of the child inside her.

Gu Mochen watched from not far away, looking at the woman pretending to be calm yet actually in turmoil.

Initially... selecting Jian Ran as the manager of the design department was not only for her talent, but Jian Ran’s sense of responsibility was even stronger than that of Lan Xing.

Especially for the position of manager, it definitely requires a strong sense of responsibility.

"Manager Jian, just now President Han... said... when he was working in the design department of the Gu Family, the philosophy he learned was to plagiarize and borrow. Is that true?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Hearing the media’s follow-up question, Jian Ran’s cherry lips curled up.

"Sorry, I need to correct a problem with how you addressed him, the Han Family has gone bankrupt, um, Han Siming is now a shareholder of the Gu Family, so you can call him Shareholder Han... Mister Han... President Han doesn’t seem quite appropriate anymore."

Jian Ran’s words were a clear sneer at Han Siming’s lack of capability, prompting laughter and whispers from the crowd below.

Jian Ran hooked her lips and continued to speak.

"Um, that was a joke just now, let me continue... First of all, when Han Siming joined the Gu Family, it was less than a month, sorry, I don’t think such an outsider to the Gu Family can be considered to understand the corporate culture of the Gu Family.

As we all know, the Gu Family’s probation period is three months, and he didn’t even pass the probation period.

.. um, he hasn’t even been confirmed yet, so whatever he says has no real basis. "

Having said that, Jian Ran spread her hands, indicating her own helplessness.

The audience, hearing Jian Ran’s words, looked at each other.

What Jian Ran said wasn’t without reason.

Han Siming’s expression changed slightly... he didn’t expect Jian Ran to outright deny his right to speak because he had not passed the probation period.

"Manager Jian, just now... Han Siming also said that during his work at the Gu Family, the design drafts he gave to the Chen Family were mandated by the Gu Family’s higher-ups to plagiarize famous works from Europe and America, otherwise they would not be approved."

Jian Ran: "..."

As a designer, to actively plagiarize.

Han Siming is clearly not passionate about the design industry now and to suppress Gu Mochen, he even made such a claim. Jian Ran’s eyes flashed with a hint of chill, making the media present feel slightly terrified.

A moment later, Jian Ran pursed her lips, her mouth always carrying a faint smile.

"Um... this lady reporter is quite subtle in her wording, the ’higher-up’ he mentioned... is obviously me... Thank you for not mentioning my name just now, allowing me to save face, much appreciated."

Jian Ran’s speech was witty and humorous, and from the moment she appeared, she gave the media this impression. Such affability made everyone pleasantly delighted.

The reporters, satisfied with Jian Ran’s words, smiled and reddened with mild embarrassment.

Pausing for a moment, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flashed with sharpness.

"Regarding his claim, um, the public relations department of the Gu Family has already released a statement yesterday.

Any of the designers currently employed by the Gu Family, um, I mean those who have completed their internships and are officially working, are professionals with ethical standards and would not joke with their own interests or those of their partners.

Um, the philosophy of the Gu Family is service and customer-centric.

.. This is something every Gu Family designer remembers at the time of their induction. "
