"Miss White." Ning Caier called out softly when she saw Bai Youya appear here. She had never thought that there would be a day when the two of them would face off against each other in court.
But thankfully Han Yuqi had come today as well. With him here, Ning Caier felt more at ease in his heart, but the plan he had proposed made her hesitate a little, and Han Yuqi actually made her "confess his guilt", indicating that she did not know that the self-made formula would infringe upon his rights, and that he hoped to obtain the other party's forgiveness. This was because Ning Caier did not have any evidence in his hands, so if he were to fight purely based on evidence, she would not be able to win.
"Miss Ning, the testimony of a famous person shows that the self-made lotion you are using has brought about a very good reputation and prestige for you. Although you did not directly sell it for value, you relied on it to produce an indirect value."
The lawyers that Bai Youya invited kept on beating around the bush. Ning Caier rejected all of Ouyang Jue's help, so naturally, there was no lawyer that was as arrogant as she was now. She had relied on her own weakness to go against Bai Youya's cosmetics company.
Ning Caier didn't know how to defend herself. Every word she said fell into the other party's trap, and in the end, the judge ordered her to compensate Bai Youya 5 million yuan and stop using self-made lotion s to make up the names of the stars.
Her company and house had all been refunded to Ouyang Jue, and all the assets she had left in her hands had been given to Han Yuqi to invest in. Right now, the amount of wealth that she could execute was extremely little, so she could only shoulder this enormous debt and use the rest of her life to repay this debt.
"Cai'er, you don't have to worry. I will discuss this with the Miss White, and let you make some less compensation. As for the rest of the debt, we will easily be able to make some money from that project."
At the same time, he took out several hundred thousand gold as his sincerity gold coins, hoping that she would give Ning Caier a period of time to let him have a way to raise some money.
Ning Caier knew that Han Yuqi's current financial resources were not rich, so she was very grateful that he was able to fork out such a large sum. She sat beside him with deep feelings for him, while Bai Youya acted very generously outside the court too, saying that as long as Ning Caier was willing to publicly apologize to the Press conferences, she could reduce the amount of her compensation by one million.
"There's no problem with that. We will contact all the major media to publicly apologize to the Miss White later." Han Yuqi agreed to it before he could reply. Their goal was not to get money, but to destroy everything that Ning Caier had, causing him to feel pain in his heart.
Ning Caier obeyed to all of Han Yuqi's arrangements, and even the press releases that she sent to the various media outlets were all completed by Han Yuqi himself, to the point that only after she finished distributing drafts in the major media did he realise that Han Yuqi had actually described the matter of her self-made lotion as a plagiarism of Bai Youya's products. In order to increase her visibility in the industry, she copied the products of Bai Youya's company, and some of them even just changed a bottle.
This statement made all the other celebrities who were originally on Ning Caier's side waver, because no one would ruin their own reputation in this industry. If she had never done this before, they would not admit it even if they had to pay any money.
She became the target of disdain in the industry, and in a moment the business was gone, while Bai Youya had put on a generous coat, allowing her to increase her beauty by quite a bit.
"How can these reporters write so randomly? The script I gave them clearly isn't like that!"
Han Yuqi purposely took out the reports and berated the reporters in front of Ning Caier. He had picked up all of his actions cleanly, showing that all of this was written by the reporters randomly, and was not his intention at all.
"The media has always been like this, but we know our own business, it's fine as long as we know it."
Ning Caier threw all those reports to the side and comforted Han Yuqi on the other hand, she no longer had a house. Without the company, all property has been wound up. She didn't want her parents to worry, so she didn't tell them that she had lost so many things. Luckily Han Yuqi took her in, and let her temporarily stay in his home, waiting for her to find a job made him feel like a full wife. Waiting here for Han Yuqi to come home everyday gave her a sense of accomplishment compared to when she was in the business.
However, Ning Caier's state of unemployment did not last long, the Evil Woman had already found her a job designing. A cooperative brand of the Evil Woman had hired her to help the artistes design their clothes, but these clothes could not be sold under her own brand in order to arouse the displeasure of others. After all, a designer who was caught in a scandal did not like her.
This opportunity made Ning Caier extremely grateful. Although the salary for this job wasn't high, to be able to make her save up some money to repay her debts was already the most important straw of hope for her right now.
"Sister Annie, I'm gifting you a bonus today, I want to treat you to a meal." In less than half a month after Ning Caier entered the company, she had completed a few large orders and the boss had given her 10,000 yuan as a reward. The first thing she thought of was Annie, the Evil Woman.
"No need, I have a lot of work to do recently. I'll treat you to a meal after I finish this part." knew that Annie wanted to save the money for her, so she did not insist and directly deposited the money into her account.
"Why do you want me to be such a good person? Wouldn't it be better to just say that you helped her?"
After Evil Woman hung up the phone, she looked at the man who was drinking coffee with her. In order to help Ning Caier find a job, he actually bought a company, something that only she, the young master of Ouyang Family, could do. However, Ning Caier's consciousness had not changed, and she would continue to be deceived by Han Yuqi. They might not be able to help her for long.
"She wouldn't accept my help right now. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Recently, he had been idling at home, secretly searching for information on every single side. After Ning Caier found a job, she moved out of Han Yuqi's house and stayed in the dormitory provided by the "company".
Ouyang Jue knew that they did not live in the same room, and it was more like Han Yuqi was showing off by his side while accompanying him. Unfortunately, Ning Caier had kept it in the dark, thinking that the man accompanying her was because he loved her, causing her to be unable to see the direction even more clearly. Ouyang Jue had no other choice but to work overtime to control the time she spent with Han Yuqi.
"Have you ever thought of giving up? What I mean is that we should give up on Ning Caier and chase after other targets? "
Annie knew that the most lamentable thing in a war of words was to have one's weak spot taken by others. Once one's weak spot was in the enemy's control, they would be forced step by step until all their energy and financial resources were used up.
Ouyang Jue had compromised again and again in order to protect Ning Caier, but the effect was getting worse and worse. Although the TiaoAo Group was currently under Ouyang Gu's watch, and Bai Youya and Han Yuqi couldn't act rashly for the time being, they were good at using public opinion and their power to control the situation. In the business world, they already had quite the authority to speak up and their demands for the next step must be even more excessive.
So, the best way was for Ouyang Jue to give up his pursuit for Ning Caier. This way, those two people would change their target, which would be good for both Ning Caier and Ouyang Jue.
Of course, he didn't want to do anything that betrayed Ning Caier, but it seemed to be the best way at the moment. He knew that Bai Youya was jealous, so he took advantage of her jealousy and allowed her to vent it on others.
Ouyang Jue knew that dealing with Bai Youya wouldn't be as simple as creating a scandal, it was like a small fight between mosquitoes, and if he wanted to make a move, he would have to use a heavy bomb. In just a few days, a shocking piece of news about the business world had reached the headlines, and Ouyang Jue was actually engaged, and it was even to a young miss from a wealthy family.
The sudden change in the situation caught everyone off guard, because the Xu Family and the Ouyang Family had never interacted in business before, and the elders of the two families had never met. If they suddenly talked about marriage, it would inevitably make people suspicious, but the two parties were already like a marriage alliance.
"Yu Qi, who's Xu Mengyun? Why haven't you mentioned the CEO Ouyang's engagement ceremony before?"
When Ning Caier saw this piece of news, she was packing up Han Yuqi's house. Seeing that Ouyang Jue had a new relationship, she heaved a heavy sigh of relief. With this Miss Xu by his side, he probably wouldn't want to separate her and Han Yuqi anymore.
Now that everyone had found their own home, she and Han Yuqi could finally discuss the matter of their marriage.
"You can go back first, I have some business to attend to."
When Han Yuqi saw this piece of news, he did not relax at all. Instead, his face turned ashen, the Xu Family was a financial group that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ouyang Family, while Xu Mengyun was the only daughter of this family, she had already gained control of the entire corporation five years ago. With the title Iron Lady of the business world, her ability and strength was something many wealthy families could not even compare to.
All these years, many people had rejected her advances, they did not expect Ouyang Jue to be able to make the marriage contract so quickly. With the support of this large corporation, many things had changed.
During this period of time, Han Yuqi and Bai Youya had released a lot of news, causing everyone to think that Bai Youya and her relationship had returned to normal, and that she was using this to stabilize the price of the Bai's disease, and the news was not released in vain. The Bai's disease's share price did not stop after reopening the market, causing Qin Lang to slow down his pace of buying.
Han Yuqi was preparing to use the documents that Ning Caier had signed to force Ouyang Jue to spew out a large amount of funds, so that Bai Youya would have the energy to purchase shares in her own company. Just in case Qin Lang took the initiative, he did not expect the Ouyang Family and the Ouyang Family would actually issue a declaration at this time, confirming the news of the marriage between the two families. If the two families worked together to suppress the Bai Group, they would not even have a chance to retaliate.
"Yu Qi, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy with your CEO Ouyang's engagement?"
Ning Caier was very surprised at Han Yuqi's current reaction. Every time she came here, he would act incomparably warm and gentle, and not once had he said that he was afraid that he would leave her place to pursue Ouyang Jue. Now that the biggest problem had been solved, why did Han Yuqi not feel any excitement at all?
"Didn't you hear me say that I still have things to do?!"
This was the first time Han Yuqi roared at him. Everything that he and Bai Youya controlled now was under the premise that they had Ning Caier as their bargaining chip.
