âI heard that the whole plan was cooked up by Ms. Bennett, and she designed all these styles. SY Fashion has swiped our design sketches. Ms. Bennettâs strategy is to tweak the designs and sell them at a lower price. Itâs like giving them a taste of their own medicine. SY Fashionâs products will probably pile up, theyâll have a hard time selling them, and theyâll definitely come barking up our tree.â
Watching the live broadcast, Hans Collins noticed that many of the modified designs were topânotch.
His little sisterâwhat kind of whiz kid was she to have such talent?
âBoss, Iâve got an idea.â Julian hesitated a bit before speaking up: âMs. Bennett, maybe we should consider giving her a bonus as a pat on the back? Sheâs made a huge contribution since joining the company.â
âSo youâre suggesting I give my sister a bonus?â
âSister?â Julianâs eyes popped open. Had he misheard? Ms. Bennett was the bossâs sister?
The boss must be pulling his leg.
But the boss didnât seem to be joking at all.
Ms. Bennett, could she be the sister he just found?
âGive a bonus to my sister.â Hans Collins mused, âHow much would be appropriate?â
âHuh?â Julian was genuinely surprised. Ms. Bennett really was the bossâs sister, but if that was the case, she surely wasnât short of cash!
âFifty grand.â Hans Collins pondered, âWould that be too stingy?â
âFifty grand?â Julianâs eyes bulged out. He worked his tail off all month, and sometimes his bonus was just over ten grand. Sisters were indeed special.
Sheâs only been working a few days, and sheâs getting fifty grand.
Julian felt like he was bleeding internally.
âBoss, is Ms. Bennett really your sister? Fifty grand is more than enough, really! This is unprecedented in our companyâs history! Iâm sure Ms. Bennett will be thrilled to receive the bonus! Itâs not only the companyâs recognition but also a brotherâs approval.â
âMake it happen.â
âSure thing.â Julian hastily went to arrange it.
When Arabella heard that the company was giving her a bonus, she thought it was her parentsâ doing and didnât give it a second thought. After a while of being busy in the office, she got the news that SY Fashion was suing them, and she raised an eyebrow. Finally, the moment came!
She told Dean at her side, âProceed as planned.â
âGot it.â
Dean quickly rushed to the live broadcast room. By then, Molly had completed the modifications to the last design, and the viewers had reached 1.29 million!
Molly, seeing Deanâs signal, smiled at the camera and said, âThatâs all for our new releases today. I saw many of you asking in the comments, Why are we modifying SY Fashionâs new releases? Here, I have security footage to show you.â
Molly showed the audience a surveillance video of Oscar sneaking into Arabellaâs office; âThis man is our deputy; when our director Arabella was away, he sneaked into her office, took pictures of my design drafts, and sent them to SY Fashion.â
After that, she switched the screen, and when the audience saw the chat logs and voice conversations between Oscar and Jason, they were all shocked.
Who knew there was such underâtheâtable collusion between companies?
Most people loved a good gossip, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room skyrocketed once again.
âSY Fashion promised our deputy a 30% commission, so he sent all the designs I worked hard on to SY Fashion and then turned around and accused me of plagiarism.â
