Chapter 389: Real or Fake Thief
“…” Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. “You’re really…”
“I didn’t say anything.” Jun s.h.i.+ling picked her up by the waist and walked into the house. “What are you thinking? I just said that it was purely sleep.”
Xia Wanyuan took the opportunity to hug Jun s.h.i.+ling’s neck and nestled in his arms. She gently hammered him to express her condemnation.
A smile appeared in Jun s.h.i.+ling’s eyes as he steadily carried Xia Wanyuan back to the secondary bedroom.
After placing her on the bed, Jun s.h.i.+ling lifted the blanket and fell asleep. Xia Wanyuan reached out to hug him habitually.
About a minute later, Xia Wanyuan realized that Jun s.h.i.+ling was especially disciplined today. When he said sleep, it was really sleep.
Xia Wanyuan could not help but look up at Jun s.h.i.+ling. Sensing the movement in her arms, Jun s.h.i.+ling did not open his eyes and said quietly, “What are you looking forward to, my wife??”
“No, I’m sleeping.” Xia Wanyuan leaned back into Jun s.h.i.+ling’s arms.
“I haven’t been alone with you in a long time. I missed you.” Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled and explained to Xia Wanyuan. “If you have other requests, I can satisfy you.”
“No.” Xia Wanyuan’s m.u.f.fled voice came from her arms. Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled and hugged her tighter. He planted a gentle kiss on her hair. “Goodnight, I love you.”
“Good night.”
The next morning, because Jun s.h.i.+ling had actually kidnapped Xia Wanyuan and did not sleep with him, Xiao Bao unilaterally protested against Jun s.h.i.+ling, but he was suppressed.
It took Xia Wanyuan a long time to coax the angry Xiao Bao and even personally send him to school.
Just as she was about to leave the school’s entrance, Xia Wanyuan received a call from Tang Yin. Only then did Xia Wanyuan know that something had happened to the plum drink.
However, speaking of which, this matter actually had nothing to do with Xia Wanyuan. After all, she had only helped promote it. At that time, she did not know that this was someone else’s formula.
Xia Wanyuan searched online. Jiayin was a relatively famous beverage company in the country, and the plum drink she had helped promote was produced by a very small Bai Xiang company.
Jia Yin Corporation sued Bai Xiang in court and demanded that he return the formula and compensate for the relevant loss of 12 million dollars.
One was a beverage brand that could be seen everywhere on the famous dining table, and the other was an unknown company that made people suspect that it was a small company.
Everyone was more inclined to Jiayin from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention that Jiayin Corporation had presented a lot of evidence.
If not for Jia Yin mentioning Xia Wanyuan, no one would have noticed the dispute between the two beverage companies.
Xia Wanyuan did not pay much attention to it at first. After all, she had only helped promote it. If it was really a theft formula, there was nothing to pay attention to. It would be judged by the court.
However, not long after, Tang Yin called again and said that the studio had a package sent to Xia Wanyuan, asking if she wanted to go and get it.
Xia Wanyuan happened to pa.s.s by the studio on the way to the production team after sending Xiao Bao off, so she got the chauffeur to go to the studio first.
After the mineral water incident last time, Tang Yin and the rest did not dare to let Xia Wanyuan open the package herself. After all, it would be bad if something sent by the anti-fans frightened her.
Chen Yun made two especially long poles and slowly poked open the envelope. Inside was not something sent by anti-fans, but a box of drinks.
Chen Yun went forward to take a look. “Hey, this is the plum drink from Bai Xiang that you helped promote last time.”
Xia Wanyuan walked over and took a look. It was filled with a box of exquisite plum drinks.
“There’s still a letter here.” Tang Yin had sharp eyes and took out an ancient envelope from a gap at the side.
Tang Yin tore a hole first. After confirming that there was nothing strange inside, she handed it to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan took it and read it. It was a letter from Boss Bai Xiang.
This boss actually wrote with a brush and the words were especially beautiful.
“Miss Xia,
h.e.l.lo, I’m the boss of Bai Xiang Drink. I’m very grateful for your free promotion back then. I’m very sorry for affecting your reputation due to the dispute between Bai Xiang and Jiayin. I’ll send you a box of drinks here. I hope you don’t mind. I guarantee with my many years of integrity that Bai Xiang has never done anything to steal other people’s recipes. Unfortunately, the other party has strong capital. Whether you believe me or not, I’m very grateful for your love for my company’s drinks.
I wish you all the best. ”
“This boss is still quite polite.” Tang Yin also saw the boss’s letter and sighed. Then, she looked at the time. “Wanyuan, it’s time for you to film, right?”
“Mm, I’ll go now.” Xia Wanyuan glanced at the drink on the ground. “Help me put this in the car.”
During the break between filming, Xia Wanyuan got someone to buy a few bottles of Jiayin Corporation’s drinks from the supermarket and tried to drink them.
Modern people had drunk all kinds of drinks since they were young, so they were not that sensitive to differentiating the taste.
In the Xia Dynasty, there were not so many industrial skills. It was all thanks to the hands of the imperial chef.
Xia Wanyuan was very sensitive to the subtle differences in the taste. She tasted a few drinks that were delicious. The fragrance was indeed very rich and sweet, but when it entered her mouth, it seemed a little greasy.
Furthermore, after swallowing it, other than the sweet fragrance lingering in his mouth, there was nothing else that made her reminisce.
As for Bai Xiang’s drink, when it first entered his mouth, it had a faint fragrance of plums. It was neither sweet nor greasy. It really seemed to be written on the packaging and made of handmade raw materials. There was no additives in it, so it was especially refres.h.i.+ng.
After swallowing it, more and more sweetness surged into his mouth, making one want to drink another mouthful.
Xia Wanyuan looked at the plum drink that Boss Bai Xiang had sent over and was in deep thought. Then she called Shen Qian.
——
In Bai Xiang Corporation.
“Boss, we really have no choice. Jiayin is such a big corporation. The lawyers are too amazing.”
The legal department of the company flipped through the information in his hand. This boss was too unguarded. He actually let the company’s trusted aide take the original version of the formula and sell it to Jiayin Corporation.
How were they going to fight a lawsuit now?? Jiayin had a lawyers team of dozens standing behind him, while Bai Xiang was alone. This was simply a death trap.
“It was originally a recipe left behind by our ancestor. I originally wanted to make something good so that the public could enjoy better drinks. Now that things have turned out like this, there’s nothing I can do. I’ll get someone to come over tomorrow and pay everyone their salaries. It’s been hard on everyone in the past few years. I, Han Xu, thank everyone here.”
Bai Xiang’s boss, Han Xu, stood up and bowed to the people in the meeting room with a tired expression.
After he sold this company, he would return to his hometown in the mountains to farm. In the end, this prosperous world was still superficial. Han Xu, who was pure and straightforward, hated Jiayin’s accusations very much, but he had no choice.
Just as everyone was immersed in their thoughts, the secretary suddenly came in and reported, “CEO Han, Miss Xia outside wants to see you.”
