1575 Swindling

Just as Gu Yao and Qiao Xi were chatting, Gu Zheng slowly walked over and said indifferently, “Kang Corporation and Kang Junjie have signed a contract.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “I knew it a long time ago. With Kang Jichuan’s character, how could he give up on this investment? Kang Junjie took the initiative to invest and gave him a chance to try. He could only choose to sign the contract.”

“Xi Xi, you already know!” Gu Zheng’s voice was calm, but the next second, he suddenly bent down and muttered in her ear, “Then do you know something else?”

Qiao Xi subconsciously asked, “What is it?”

Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully. “Xi Xi, you should know that there are two genius perfumers in the perfume world. One of them is Twilight.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She already knew that Gu Zheng was Twilight, so she felt inexplicably awkward when she heard Gu Zheng mention this name.

Qiao Xi paused. Gu Zheng looked at her and said with a smile, “You and Kang Qingzhi have both seen Twilight, and Kang Qingzhi knows very well that Mr. Twilight won’t help her.”

Of course! Gu Zheng would definitely not help Kang Qingzhi!

“As for the other genius…” Gu Zheng deliberately dragged out his voice with a trace of charm. “Do you know who it is?”

Qiao Xi gulped, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Gu Zheng said casually, “The other one is called Mu Jin. Xi Xi, you’re so talented in perfumery. You should have heard of this name! Moreover, I think your work is very similar to Miss Mu Jin’s!”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She squeezed out an awkward smile and avoided Gu Zheng’s gaze.

“There has always been a legend of Mu Jin in the perfume world, but no one seems to have seen her true face, nor does anyone know who she is. If Kang Qingzhi uses this to make an announcement to the public…”

Qiao Xi pretended to be indifferent and picked up the flower tea on the table to take a sip.

Gu Zheng continued, “Kang Qingzhi announced to the public that Mu Jin is her close friend. She learned how to make perfumes from Miss Mu Jin.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Xi instantly choked on her tea and coughed violently.

Gu Zheng smiled and asked softly, “Xi Xi, you don’t believe that Kang Qingzhi and Mu Jin are friends?”

Qiao Xi’s face flushed red as she grunted angrily. “Kang Qingzhi is shameless! Close friend? How dare she say such things?”

“She’s talking about Miss Mu Jin. Why are you so agitated?” Gu Zheng lazily leaned against the chair, his light brown eyes carrying a trace of teasing.

The angry expression on Qiao Xi’s face instantly stiffened: “…”

“How can you be so sure that Kang Qingzhi is lying?”

Qiao Xi thought in her heart that Kang Qingzhi was naturally lying because she was Mu Jin. How could she have become close friends with Kang Qingzhi? Even if she was friends with a dog, it was absolutely impossible for her to be friends with Kang Qingzhi. How unlucky!

But…

Qiao Xi’s expression was a little complicated. It was not that she wanted to hide it from Gu Zheng, but she could not tell Gu Zheng about Mu Jin’s ident.i.ty for the time being. She hesitated for a moment and squeezed out a smile that she thought was innocent. “Oh! I don’t need to think to know that Kang Qingzhi is definitely lying! If she really knew Mu Jin, why did she only say it now?”

“Oh?” Gu Zheng chuckled.

Qiao Xi inexplicably felt a little fl.u.s.tered and did not dare to look into Gu Zheng’s eyes. She casually said, “I’m just angry that Kang Qingzhi always uses someone else’s name to swindle others!”

Gu Zheng smiled and stroked her head. He whispered in her ear, “Mrs. Gu, you’re so indignant. Those who don’t know might think that you know Miss Mu Jin.”

Qiao Xi denied it. “No! Don’t spout nonsense! I just think that a genius like Mu Jin won’t be friends with someone like Kang Qingzhi. I…”

“I understand, Mrs. Gu.” Gu Zheng pinched her cheek affectionately and interrupted her.

She suddenly had a feeling that Gu Zheng seemed to be coaxing a child.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi could not help but ask, “When did Kang Qingzhi say that she and Mu Jin are friends?”

Why had she not heard this news?

Gu Zheng said softly, “Kang Junjie invested 800 million yuan in Kang Corporation, so the Kang family naturally has to show the investors their ability. Coincidentally, someone realized that the perfume Kang Qingzhi made a few years ago was extremely similar to Mu Jin’s style…”

Gu Zheng handed the phone to Qiao Xi. “Take a look.”

Qiao Xi took it and took a look. A perfumer had posted a thread comparing Kang Qingzhi’s works in the past few years to Mu Jin’s from a few years ago. The similarity between their works had reached 75%.

The selection of spices and the techniques used were very similar. As soon as this news was released, netizens questioned Kang Qingzhi for plagiarism.
