Chapter 38: Being Spoiled with Abandon

  "Xiao Zong..."

  "Get out of here." Xiao Qian kicked his assistant away and walked out with a huff.

  He can't put too much force on his legs when walking, otherwise it will affect the healing of both legs, so he tries to use crutches as much as possible to avoid pulling them.

  The assistant watched as Xiao Qian flew away quickly and sat on the ground with tears in her eyes.

  Xiao Qian was still late after all. At the seminar, Lu Qinghuan was suddenly splashed with ink, and her oil painting was completely ruined...

  Xiao Qian went away when Lu Qinghuan was crying inside.

  She sobbed, her hands covering her cheeks, her shoulders constantly heaving, looking helpless and desolate.

  Xiao Qian's heart ached and he hastily walked over.

  "Alright..." He stretched out his hand and patted Lu Qinghuan's shoulder.

  Lu Qinghuan lifted her head, her nose and eyes were all red from crying, saw Xiao Qian, and immediately rushed into his arms.

  "I didn't, I really didn't, this oil painting set, somehow they made it exactly the same as mine... and even released it a few hours earlier, I had already finished drawing it two years ago, how is that possible..."

  Xiao Qian just gently patted her shoulder, "No, I know you didn't. I'll definitely help you clear this up. Don't worry for now, I will, and I'll clear your name!"

  Lu Qinghuan raised her head and looked at Xiao Qian, trying to control herself, but still couldn't stop sobbing.

  "Painting is my lifelong career, it's my dream, it's everything to me. Are they trying to destroy me? Who can be so ruthless and determined to deal a crushing blow to me?"

  Xiao Qian looked at Lu Qinghuan and asked, "Qinghuan, tell me, have you offended anyone or do you have any competitors in this industry?"

  Lu Qing shook her head, "I've always quietly painted, these illustrations were created two years ago but not published at that time. When I was feeling down, I would draw to vent my emotions. Later, someone discovered them and offered to help me exhibit them, so I made some final touches and brought them back to the country for exhibition. However, this is the first time I've put out my work under my real name; previously, I had never exposed my name or real life."

  Lu Qinghuan specializes in illustration, and her works have been published in many places under a pen name.

  Xiao Qian's eyes were deep and mysterious, sitting there, looking ahead, with an icy expression, as if slowly stretching out along with his thoughts, towards the distance.

  After a moment, he gently patted Lu Qinghuan's back and said, "Alright, I understand. Leave this matter to me to handle."

  Lu Qinghuan nodded slightly, "Because it's everything I care about... so, I only trust you now, Qian, thank you for helping me."

  In the office.

  The air-conditioned modern office was filled with a cool atmosphere.

  In summer, B city, a northern city, as a commercial and political center, has a large population, and the ground is also steaming with people, hot and unbearable.

  The room is like two worlds with the outside.

  Xiao Qian looked at the data and walked towards his assistant Chen Ya Li, asking her again, "Is this all the information you've gathered from your investigation?"

  "Yes, Director Xiao. As per your instructions, I investigated that company." Chen Yalü pointed out to Director Xiao, "That company used the same concept as Miss Lu's comic and issued a statement on the same day, saying they would take legal action against Miss Lu for infringement. And what I found was that several of this company's affiliated investment companies include a Taiwanese company and... Chiang Xiaoxun's Kaixuan Group."
