Chapter 123 Must Go
Liu Ran heard Su Ya say this, and she reached out and gently pressed Su Ya's arm. Liu Ran said earnestly, "Senior Su Ya, don't worry, we will solve the crisis of your Su family together. Although I am no longer the director of Tianliu Commercial Building, I am very familiar with the relatives of the Liu family and the people I interact with. So, please rest assured, I will definitely help you continue to investigate."
Su Ya nodded and smiled happily, but behind the smile, there was also a hint of helplessness.
Because Su Ya knew that the Celestial Venerable from the Hall of Celestial Physicians had too noble an identity, it would likely be very difficult to inquire about him.
Moreover, after the preliminary probing in the past few days, Su Ya realized that the other party seemed to have hidden their identity, which made things even more troublesome. The Liu family probably didn't know who this Celestial Venerable was.
Su Ya just smiled and said, "I know, Junior Liu Ran, quickly tell me about your entrepreneurial plan!"
Liu Ran nodded vigorously. She opened the project proposal and briefly explained, "Actually, I just want to do a brand support plan. Now, with consumption upgrading, national brands rising, and product oversupply, there are many products in the market, but they are of mixed quality, making it difficult for consumers to choose."
"Therefore, those that survive must be brands with a good reputation. However, the current predicament is that there are many excellent products, but because of their small scale or the operators' lack of understanding of modern media operations, they have missed the dividends of the e-commerce era and cannot develop."
"What we need to do is to help these high-quality, good enterprises, let their brands be known to the public, and let people buy good and cheap goods. Our company will be specifically responsible for repackaging these products, helping them to rise. This will be a live-streaming e-commerce company."
Su Ya's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she immediately nodded and said, "This project is very good! In fact, I discovered it before. For example, there is a cosmetic factory locally, which is quite old, but the foundation makeup they can't produce is indeed very good. However, the boss is too stubborn. He would rather be a contract manufacturer for other major brand products than spend time learning promotion experience."
"If our company can cooperate with them, it should bring good benefits to both sides."
Liu Ran nodded vigorously and smiled, "Yes, these are my goals and intentions."
Su Ya thought for a moment and said, "The plan is good, but there is a bit of difficulty in implementation, which is how to help their products get promoted. This requires our own company to have a certain reputation."
Liu Ran nodded and said, "I plan to have all their products, when they cooperate with us, be uniformly branded with our company's name. I have already thought of the company name, it will be called 'Yang Yang Yang Brand Design Company'."
Su Ya was taken aback and smiled, "Yang Yang Yang, oh my! Are you showing off your affection here? You used Chen Yang's name for your own startup company, and you used it three times, hahaha..."
Liu Ran blushed and quickly waved her hands to explain, "No, no, no, it has a symbolic meaning. After all, the character 'Yang' represents fire, so our company is called Yang Yang Yang Company, which can also represent us becoming popular."
Su Ya laughed heartily seeing Liu Ran's shyness. The three of them discussed the details while eating.
Su Ya suddenly put down her chopsticks and became excited. She clapped her hands and said to Liu Ran, "Oh! Junior Liu Ran, I suddenly thought of a great opportunity. Aren't you studying design?"
"And I remember your design talent is very strong. Back in college, when you were only a sophomore, you sent me a few design works. Even then, I could see the talent in them. One of those works even won an award."
"So, this time for Qingzhou University's centennial anniversary, they are redesigning the university's emblem. I suggest you participate in this competition. If you can win first place, not only will there be a bonus, but more importantly, the entire Jiang Province will know about our brand company."
Liu Xiaomei next to them also clapped her hands and said, "Oh! This idea is too good. Qingzhou University's centennial anniversary event is huge! Not only will local media come, but more importantly, provincial and even national television stations will come to do live broadcasts."
"Furthermore, Qingzhou University is a century-old prestigious school. Many alumni of well-known 985 universities are successful individuals or have their own businesses. If we can really win first place in the Qingzhou University design competition, our brand will become famous overnight."
Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei were extremely excited, but Liu Ran, sitting in the middle, showed a hint of regret on her face. She looked melancholic and not excited.
Su Ya looked at Liu Ran strangely and asked, "Liu Ran, what's wrong? This is a very good opportunity to prove yourself. Don't you believe in yourself?"
Liu Ran sighed helplessly and said to Su Ya, "Senior Su Ya, there are some things you don't know. Firstly, Qingzhou University's centennial anniversary has not invited me, and I have not received any notification. Secondly, although I studied at Qingzhou University for four years, I did not graduate successfully and was expelled by the school. This matter is too embarrassing, so I have never mentioned it to you."
Su Ya frowned upon hearing this. She looked at Liu Ran in disbelief and said, "You were expelled from school, why?"
Liu Ran sighed deeply and said, "The school's explanation was that my graduation design plagiarized someone else's work. But my graduation design was indeed my own original work."
"I spent more than four months designing it in advance and finally submitted it to the school for defense. But for some reason, it was very similar to another student's work."
"The key is that his work was designed over a year ago. I can't understand why my ideas would be so similar to his."
"In short, the final result was that the school ruled my work as plagiarism and then expelled me. As an expelled student, I naturally have no right to participate in this Qingzhou University centennial anniversary."
Su Ya frowned upon hearing this and murmured, "That shouldn't be! With your abilities, graduating would be very easy. Why would you plagiarize someone else's work? Are you sure the other person's work was designed over a year ago?"
Liu Ran nodded and said, "At that time, the photo he submitted had a computer webpage showing the time of his design. The time displayed on the computer was designed a year in advance. Moreover, there were other people to testify. I was speechless and powerless."
Liu Xiaomei next to them suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table.
She said indignantly to Liu Ran, "Director Liu, you must have been tricked. Don't you know that computer time can be modified? Also, no matter how many people the other party finds, they cannot prove plagiarism. As long as they pay money, they can find as many witnesses as they want."
Liu Ran sighed upon hearing this, shook her head, and said, "It's been too long. After all, I was cowardly and inferior back then, and I was an ugly monster that everyone cursed. No one would genuinely investigate this matter for me. In short, sigh... I have no fate with Qingzhou University's centennial anniversary."
Su Ya's brows furrowed tightly. She let out a cold snort and said, "Liu Ran, Qingzhou University's centennial anniversary, we must go!"
