Chapter 865 A New Endorsement
"The one who really saved him was Natalie?" Rachel asked.
"I was just throwing it out there. Maybe all dramas on the TV I've seen put that thought in me. We don't really know the truth, so don't overthink it."
Around 2 PM, Rebecca took to social media to clear up the plagiarism mess with the new product.
"Sorry for the week-long delay. I've been digging into this issue. Honestly, in my ten years of running this business, this is the first time I've faced something like this. First off, it's all on me. It's unacceptable that there are plagiarized works in the new seasonal products I was about to release. I respect and love originality. The first starry dress released by the U&M brand is my original design. This time, the theme of the ten-year new product is also the starry series. Three months ago, I wanted to give newcomers a shot and let them into the fashion design market. But I didn't expect my negligence to let bad people in. After investigating, we found out that the designer Logan is a spy planted by AzureBelle. He not only stole U&M's design concepts but also mixed his designs into the character area, causing this plagiarism incident. When the matter was clarified, we tried talking to AzureBelle's management multiple times, but got nowhere, so we owe a truth to the public. We've also officially sued AzureBelle."
Rebecca's straightforward words clearly seemed to be written by herself, not by some polished PR team.
For a while, she got a lot of support from netizens.
After all, U&M was also the victim.
And Rebecca's sincere support for originality, along with her truthful explanation of the incident, made people forgive the outcome.
With a high-profile hot topic and various marketing efforts, Rebecca managed to get through this clarification incident smoothly. After resolving the plagiarism issue, it was time to handle the debutante ball.
Then, around 4 PM, Rebecca announced that the debutante ball would be held in two days and she would also announce U&M's new spokesperson at the event.
Although the plagiarism incident initially hit U&M, after the clarification, U&M's reputation actually grew. This was a successful case of reverse publicity.
With the countdown to the socialite gala in full swing, it pushed U&M's popularity to a peak.
At this point, whoever could represent U&M would undoubtedly score a great business opportunity.
U&M's official Facebook had already taken up in the work of the publicity of the new spokesperson, only showing a hazy back view of a woman with long hair, a slim waist, and long legs.
Under this Facebook post, everyone was guessing who the new spokesperson was, with Wendy being the most popular choice.
After all, Wendy had endorsed U&M several times, and there were long-standing rumors of close cooperation. Plus, the fact that the Lewis family and the Henderson family were relatives and Rebecca was Wendy's sister was exposed.
Many netizens showed their support online.
[Is it Wendy? So excited! The Best Actress winner paired with a luxury brand, it's a perfect match!]
[I support Wendy!]
[Looking forward to Wendy. Looking forward to the new spokesperson.]
And today, shortly after Rebecca announced the debutante ball would be held in two days, U&M's official Facebook dropped another hint about the new spokesperson: [Both popular and talented, a natural beauty.]
This "natural beauty" clue ruled out Wendy.
