Chapter 8 — From Noodles to Glory

“So the new design team…” “I'll look again. This isn't difficult.” I leaned against the sofa and closed my eyes. He still wants to find. Who are you looking for? In the market, designers can count on one hand to reach "Niem Bach level". Moreover, Tri Vien's requirements are only higher, because they have witnessed Niem Bach's level. He will discover that, away from my work, he can do nothing. But he still doesn't know... Tri Vien has signed a contract with me. The party who performed the new vision was the person he had stolen from. It was his wife next to him, wearing baggy house clothes, breastfeeding her baby, whom he treated as invisible. The notarized report was available the next day. The nine design panels all check out the watermark number "Niem Bach". The expert's conclusion was written in black and white: the design result used by the examined party constitutes a substantial similarity to the original work of the Niem Bach workshop, and also contains an unforgeable digital sign embedded by the original author. The fact of copyright infringement was established. Truong Loi's movements are also very fast. That afternoon, Tri Vien Group officially sent a second document to Chu Han's company. Disqualify the current visual design team. Within three days, a new implementation plan must be provided, otherwise the contract termination procedure will be initiated. Fine for breach of contract: four million two hundred thousand. The weight of this document directly caused company owner Chu Han to explode. That night, Chu Han was called to the company for an emergency meeting. Before leaving, his face was gray and white. "Maybe I'll be back very late. Go to sleep first." "Yes." After the door closed, I called Dao Vi. "What step has the new cooperation contract with Tri Vien reached?" "This afternoon both sides signed and sealed. Your name does not appear on it, go according to the factory's public account." "Okay. Chu Han's side is probably about to be unable to resist." "Not just unable to resist." Dao Vi's voice carried a bit of gloating. "I heard Truong Loi say, today Chu Han's boss personally called to beg, saying he could change the design team, compensate and apologize, any conditions are fine, as long as the contract is not canceled." "What did Truong Loi say?" "Truong Loi said... Tri Vien has found a new visual implementer, the cooperation intention has been signed. As for copyright infringement, it should follow the legal procedure as it should be, without affecting the new cooperating party to take over." "So, Chu's side." Han..." "Or obediently accept to change the plan, compensate for the infringement fee, and keep the remaining cooperation; Tri Vien will directly cancel the contract, resulting in a fine of four million two hundred thousand, can their company bear it?" "Can't bear it. Truong Loi said their company is a medium-sized advertising company with about thirty million in revenue. More than four million in fines, equivalent to tendon damage." a few seconds. "To Niem, are you soft-hearted?" Dao Vi asked cautiously. "No." "I'm thinking about something else." "What?" "If he is held responsible by the company, what is the worst outcome?" "Demotion, fine, even dismissal. If this story spreads, the industry circle is only that small, he is basically useless in the advertising industry." I put my hand on my knee, my fingers unconsciously rubbing the fabric of my pajamas. "The legal procedures continue as usual." I said. "But the object of the lawsuit is only aimed at Luong Uyen personally and the plan signed by her. Not bringing Chu Han company into it." "Why? Didn't you say you wanted..." "What I want is for him to feel pain. I don't want him to die." "He is the father of my two children. His life is over, who will pay for child support?" Dao Vi was silent for a moment. "Okay. You decide. Then just sue Luong Uyen, prosecute him for the crime of invasion." copyright infringement

individual. What about Chu Han?" "He will come find me himself." "Are you sure?" "Sure. Because when the three-day deadline comes, he won't be able to find any designer who can take on the Tri Vien project.” “At that point he only has one choice.” “What choice?” “Please help me. Even though he didn't know that I was Niem Bach, he knew that I 'used to work as a designer' before. When he reaches the end of the road, he will remember. "The second day, the third day, Chu Han didn't come home. He sent me two text messages. One message said he was working overtime at the company, the other message told me to take good care of the children. The tone was as condescending as ever. No orders, no complaints, even adding a sentence "it's been hard for you". I knew what was going on outside. Dao Vi continuously synchronized the news for me. Day 1: Chu company Khan urgently contacted three design suppliers, all of which were rejected. There were many reasons - unable to arrange a schedule, unable to negotiate a price, inappropriate style, but the real reason was only one: Truong Loi had spread the word in the world that this project of Tri Vien needed "Nien Bach level".
