Chapter 357: Handing the Factory Over to You

Upon learning that Shen Yan would be coming today, Fang Xiang had specially dressed up with great care.

A thin layer of gold eyeshadow was lightly applied to her eyelids, and delicate eyeliner extended from the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, framing deep and bright eyes.

Her full, crimson lips held the luster of hawthorn red.

On her upper body, she wore an apricot-colored, pure-yet-alluring hollow-knit sweater, paired with a matching mesh skirt; this outfit made her appear mature without losing her youthful vitality.

Unknowingly, that rustic country girl had already transformed into a sophisticated urban beauty.

Shen Yan, sitting in a chair, beckoned with his hand; Fang Xiang understood his intent, trotted over, smoothed out her skirt, and sat gently on Shen Yan's lap with her peach-like, full, and rounded hips.

This was also the most attractive part of Fang Xiang's entire body.

Fang Xiang wrapped her arms around the back of Shen Yan's neck, her eyes soft and tender, while Shen Yan familiarly rested his hand on her thigh, feeling the mesh skirt was somewhat in the way, and continued to reach further down.

Until he touched the smooth, delicate skin at her ankle.

Then he moved inward.

Only through such contact could one most intuitively experience the smoothness of a woman's skin.

"Haven't seen you in a few days, my little wildcat has become even prettier." Shen Yan looked at Fang Xiang with a smile in his eyes.

"As long as the boss likes it!"

Fang Xiang's earlobes felt a bit hot, especially when she felt that hand moving inch by inch, becoming increasingly unscrupulous; her heart felt like a little deer was trapped inside, thumping wildly.

Shen Yan kissed her on the face and held her while they chatted about daily life.

Compared to the average girl, Fang Xiang's life was much more monotonous: work, eat, sleep—a simple, straight line.

Occasionally she would go shopping to buy pretty clothes to dress up for Shen Yan.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Yan stated his plan: "I intend to hand the factory over to you to manage; what do you think?"

Fang Xiang was slightly stunned; although she had spent some time in the workshop and considered herself to have some understanding of garment production, production and management were two completely different things, and she did not believe she had the ability to handle this job.

However, since Shen Yan had said so, he must have his own considerations; as a submissive woman, she only needed to listen obediently, so she voiced her concerns: "I don't know how to do it, and I'm afraid I'll mess it up and cause trouble for you, Boss."

Shen Yan smiled lightly: "Look, I haven't come to the factory much, yet isn't the factory running just fine?"

"Managing the factory isn't as complicated as you imagine. Han Yi will still be responsible for workshop production, and I will teach you how to audit reports and coordinate with suppliers... I believe you are fully capable of these tasks."

Upon hearing this, eight or nine-tenths of the worry in Fang Xiang's heart vanished.

Having had experience running an online store, Fang Xiang was already well-versed in various reports, and the other trivial matters did not require much technical expertise. With the increase in production variety and the further expansion of Taobao users, the factory was now basically able to produce and sell its own goods without needing to take on external orders.

As long as she was given some time, Fang Xiang was confident she could manage this factory well.

At the very worst, Shen Yan was still there to oversee things; Shen Yan was her most solid backing.

Nothing could go wrong.

Moreover, Fang Xiang was very happy to become Shen Yan's supportive partner, helping him resolve his worries and difficulties.

This way, Shen Yan would never be able to leave her.

The only thing that made Fang Xiang hesitant was...

"Boss, if you hand the factory over to me, does that mean you won't come here anymore in the future?"

Fang Xiang looked at Shen Yan with trepidation.

Deep down, she held the mindset of a traditional woman; money or anything else was not as important as her man. She loved Shen Yan, and what she looked forward to most was staying by his side.

Shen Yan affectionately gave her nose a light flick: "How could that be? My little wildcat is still here, so I will definitely find time to come over and keep you company."

Being treated so tenderly by her man, Fang Xiang felt her heart melting; she buried her head in Shen Yan's neck and whispered softly: "I will listen to you, Boss; whatever you tell me to do, I will do."

Shen Yan liked this obedient and submissive posture of hers very much.

So he pulled his hand out from under the mesh skirt and reached in from the hem of her sweater.

Fang Xiang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing the restlessness in her heart.

"Mm..." A long sound escaped her nose, and her delicate body twisted involuntarily.

As if remembering something, Fang Xiang said with a trembling voice: "Boss, there is a shop on Taobao selling the same styles as ours, just with different models and backgrounds; how should we handle this situation?"

Shen Yan was not surprised by this; he kept his palm busy as he told Fang Xiang to open the webpage to take a look, and Fang Xiang tapped the keyboard lightly with weak, trembling fingers.

She pressed one finger at a time, her pretty face flushed with a rosy glow.

She opened the shop's webpage.

There were two items inside: one was a long dress, and the other was a hoodie; after a brief observation, Shen Yan concluded that the other party had plagiarized his designs.

They had only changed the logo.

The selling price was 5 yuan cheaper than his own shop; looking at the review section, a rough calculation showed no fewer than five hundred items sold.

This left Shen Yan quite speechless; if you're going to plagiarize, at least don't be so low-effort about it.

At the very least, make a few slight changes.

Huh!

Qunying Clothing Store.

Seeing the shop name, Shen Yan couldn't help but recall Zhang Qunying, who had previously stolen his product images and uploaded them directly without even changing the pictures.

Could it be the same person?

Too lazy to overthink it, the Taobao platform had no way to handle this kind of situation; it could only be resolved through private negotiation, or if that failed, through a court judgment.

Shen Yan first saved the evidence, then had Fang Xiang type a message to the shop's customer service.

"I am the owner of Yancheng Clothing. In view of your shop's theft of my factory's clothing designs, I have already retained the relevant evidence. I am now giving you two choices."

"One: Compensate my factory 10,000 RMB and take down the related products. Two: I will file a lawsuit in court. After the lawsuit concludes, you will not only have to compensate for my losses but also bear our legal fees and be subject to relevant court fines."

"I will give you ten minutes to consider; after that, a lawyer's letter will be served."

After clicking the send button, the resentment in Fang Xiang's heart was swept away.

This was so satisfying, so cathartic!

This is exactly how it should be done!

Who told these bastards to always infringe upon her man's interests.

On the other side of the display screen, the customer service representative who saw this long string of text was slightly stunned; she did not know if this constituted an infringement.

She should ask her boss first.

She hurriedly made a phone call to summon Zhang Qunying, who was currently inspecting production work in the workshop.

That's right, the person who stole Shen Yan's clothing design ideas was none other than his old acquaintance, Zhang Qunying.
