Sweetness Overload: Mr. Huo’s Wife Offended Him - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Design Sketch Stolen

After waiting for a long time, there was still no news from Hu Wen, so Quan Meng decided to give her a call.

After a long time, the phone was finally answered just as she was about to terminate the call.

“Hello, Wen. Did something happen?” Quan Meng didn’t ask directly about the competition. She was still worried that something had happened to Hu Wen since she hadn’t contacted her for such a long time.

“No, no.” Hu Wen’s voice sounded somewhat evasive and unclear.

Quan Meng understood now. If Hu Wen did not encounter any problems, then the problem might lie with Quan Meng.

“I… I didn’t win, is that correct?” Quan Meng was the first to ask the question, probably because she didn’t want Hu Wen to feel guilty. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Hu Wen.

“Meng, you must remain calm first of all. Let me tell you slowly…”

What Hu Wen said next made Quan Meng feel as if her blood was flowing backward. There was someone in the competition who had the same design as her, but when it came to Quan Meng’s turn, her design was abruptly switched.

Hu Wen wanted to defend Quan Meng, but she had no way of doing so.

“So who stole my design?” In fact, Quan Meng had already guessed who was the culprit.

“It’s Quan Yi from Quan Enterprise.”

“Alright. I got it.” Quan Meng tried her best to control her emotions and ended the phone call. She immediately brought her design sketch and computer to the competition organizer. She would rather resolve it face-to-face than make complaints online.

In the car, Quan Meng even saw the design that Quan Yi used for her submission. It was the version that she had modified later.

She had never brought the revised version out of the office or her home.

Who could it be?

Quan Meng’s mind was in a mess. She had no clue at all. She had already eliminated Li Fen and Hu Wen. If it was Li Fen, then his previous warning would have been completely unnecessary. Hu Wen’s office was on a completely different floor from hers. The two of them only met in the office pantry and Hu Wen’s office.

Could it be an employee in the company? With this in mind, Quan Meng sent a message to Hu Wen and asked her to help check the company’s surveillance footage to see if anyone had entered her office and touched her computer when she was not around.

When Quan Meng reached the office of the organizing committee, the door was shut.

“I protest against the results of the competition. Someone plagiarized my design idea!” Quan Meng stood at the entrance and banged on the door with all her might. She shouted loudly, but no one answered.

“Despicable!” Quan Meng kicked the door hard. If her work lost out to others openly, she could only blame herself for not being good enough. However, now that someone had stolen her work, not surprisingly, she could not tolerate it.

The security guard near the door heard the commotion and rushed over ferociously. He ignored Quan Meng’s explanation and simply grabbed her and threw her out of the building. The sky was already a little gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Quan Meng was thrown to the ground, and her arms and legs were scratched. Her design sketches were scattered all over the ground, and the computer was also smashed into pieces.

A van with a concealed license plate suddenly stopped, and a few burly men got out of the van. They were wearing sunglasses, masks, and black suits. They grabbed Quan Meng, threw her into the van, and drove away.

The whole process was so fast that Quan Meng didn’t even have a chance to react.

Quan Meng’s eyes were blindfolded the moment she was dragged into the van. Her mouth was also taped securely.

She turned her head left and right in horror. It was as if she was looking around and asking who these people were. However, the man in black must have received instructions. He did not say a word and only gave her a vicious slap when she was struggling.

In the end, Quan Meng was slapped until she fainted.

Meanwhile, Quan Yi and Gao Si were watching the whole process on the computer, from Quan Meng being thrown out by the security guard to being kidnapped and then being knocked out. The smile on their faces didn’t fade but instead grew wider.

Gao Si was the one who came up with this idea, but Quan Yi wanted to see what would happen to that younger sister, who had always been stronger than her since she was a child, when she fell into a quagmire.

In fact, Quan Yi had asked Li Fen to swap the designs in Quan Meng’s computer, but she had not expected to be rejected. After that, she tried many times to no avail, so she gave up on the idea. She wasn’t interested in Hea Ran’s design sketch. She just wanted to use this opportunity to make a name for herself. That was why she had to be the champion.

Quan Enterprise was the sponsor for this competition, so she thought of a way to guarantee the championship for herself.

After the results of the competition were out, it would be fine as long as her work and the champion’s work were withheld. At that juncture, the website would not announce who was the first-place winner in order to generate buzz and excitement. She would then discuss with the champion to take over the commercial rights. At most, she would just give him some money or something else. The champion would still be her ultimately.
