Chapter 2028: Shifting Responsibility

Quickly, people started to criticize, saying how could Ye Ning do such a thing as to plagiarize someone else’s design.

However, some said, this shouldn’t be related to Ye Ning, right? She is just the founder and hasn’t participated in the design; this should be the designer’s issue, right?

Yet, someone else said below, as the founder of the company, Ye Ning should have this sense of responsibility. She can’t let others handle everything; she should do her own checks. If something goes wrong in the oversight, then it’s Ye Ning’s problem because she is the legal person; if there’s an issue, legally, it’s also Ye Ning’s responsibility.

Everyone thought this was reasonable, so some people began to go online and ask Ye Ning how they were going to respond to this issue; whether they really plagiarized or not.

Ye Ning’s company also immediately called her.

Zhang Zhiyou was very nervous; now that an artist had any issue, it might affect the entire future development.

Because no matter whether a business is looking for someone to endorse or a drama is looking for someone to shoot, they need to pay attention to this issue.

Artists with stains will be used cautiously, lest any incident affects the whole show or the entire product sales.

Ye Ning had already returned to B City.

At the meeting, everyone in the studio was present. Ye Ning and Lin Siqing were sitting inside, looking at the Design Department below.

The people in the Design Department said, “We can be sure that plagiarism is impossible. Our own creations are done step by step under Teacher Xiaoqiang’s guidance; how could there be plagiarism.”

Lin Siqing said, “Then let’s only talk about the leak now. I also believe that everyone wouldn’t do such plagiarism. After all, we are talented people and don’t need to plagiarize, but regarding the leak, does anyone have any opinions?”

Someone below said, “Let the Design Department speak first; is there someone who took money during the design to sell us out?”

The people in the Design Department, hearing this, immediately retorted, “We designed the plans and handed them to you, why don’t you say it’s the R&D side’s doing?”

The R&D side also started to say, “It’s not only us who can get the design, you know, once we’re done with these, we still have to hand it over to the factory side to make it.”

“If you’re going to say this, the factory side is even more complicated, with so many people there, anyone could potentially take the design and give it to someone else.”

Ye Ning inside said, “Alright, the concept of this design is the most important thing, I think. They even took this; it’s not just about copying the appearance.”

Lin Siqing also nodded in agreement, “That’s right, this concept was definitely leaked from within. Before the new product launch, we didn’t tell anyone.”

The R&D people immediately said, “See, that should be the Design Department’s issue, right?”

Upon hearing this, the designers once again launched a rebuttal, “Hey, the publicity side also knew early on; otherwise, how could they cooperate with the promotions.”

“Then it’s your issue, not related to us, right?”

Lin Siqing frowned at them, “Alright, you need to pay attention now; this is not the time for us to shift blame. I called everyone here not to hear you shirk responsibility.”

But Ye Ning just crossed her arms and watched them argue without saying anything.

Everyone argued for a long time and felt it was meaningless.

Finally, Lin Siqing said, “Alright, let’s adjourn for now.”
