Chapter 208: 166. Declare War on the Mountain Stronghold

"This solution is really average."

"Whatever, let’s go with it for now."

The short-haired girl grumbled with dissatisfaction, but after listening, she stood up on her own, padding in her slippers to the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of craft beer.

Bang!

Glug glug glug.

Her throat moved as she took a big gulp.

Refreshing!

"Not fair, you’re not getting one for me?"

Lu Jincheng watched her smooth movements, her carefree figure, and the slightly narrowed eyes full of energy, and he couldn’t help but ask.

A classic case of protesting too much.

Such a tsundere.

But admittedly, quite cute.

"Don’t you have hands? Get it yourself."

Guan Yongyi pouted and ignored him, leaning on the chair by the dining table, her legs on the edge of the chair naturally bent, creating a relaxed posture.

Through the sheer sleeping gown, one could faintly see the white underdress; the hem pressed against her knees. When she bent her legs, her soft and slim calves were completely exposed, without a trace of excess fat.

"Who goes to someone else’s house and rummages around, it’s rude."

"You also know it’s rude? Why didn’t you say that when you were going through the seasoning bottles?"

"That’s different."

The two of them bantered back and forth.

After a few exchanges, Lu Jincheng finally confirmed that Guan Yongyi’s mood had finally stabilized.

The previous tears, the breakdown, the small things that had built up into a dam break, all had been managed by him, the firefighter.

Seeing the relaxed short-haired girl sipping her cold beer, he also felt a bit eager, walked over, opened the refrigerator, and took a bottle to put on the table.

Then he opened the window to ventilate the freshly cleaned living room, pushed open the door of the adjoining side bedroom, and let out Mian Mian, who had been closed up most of the day.

The glass on the floor had already been cleaned up thoroughly; the kitten could play happily now.

After finishing these tasks, he sat across from Guan Yongyi.

"So, what did you need me for?"

The short-haired girl looked down at her eyelashes, her gaze fixed on the phone spread on the table.

It was only when Lu Jincheng showed up that she realized he had sent so many messages.

"Does Lawyer Shang from your firm handle intellectual property business?"

"I worked with her last time, and she seemed professional in speech and conduct; I’m considering whether there’s an opportunity for further cooperation."

Lu Jincheng smiled, raising his drink can to clink with hers, and broached the main topic.

"Yes, she’s quite good at civil and commercial matters and intellectual property."

"Why, do you need a lawyer to defend your rights again?"

Guan Yongyi nodded, her gaze meaningful as she looked at Lu Jincheng.

"It’s like this; I opened a Taobao store for uniforms, and competition in this industry is fierce."

Mr. Lu shrugged, his ruthless and decisive entry into the industry had already started setting traps for his competitors.

"So, as a new merchant, not only do I have to pay tuition fees, but I also need to protect myself."

"I plan to do this..."

As he shared his thoughts, he continuously clinked glasses with Guan Yongyi.

"Eh? JK police crackdown?"

"Right, fighting counterfeits is everyone’s responsibility!"

Listening, Guan Yongyi rested her chin in one hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"What are counterfeits? And what are JK police?"

Lu Jincheng grinned and patiently started explaining to Guan Yongyi.

If a merchant reproduced the unique pattern designs of domestic artists without authorization, or produced uniforms similar to those designed by Japanese manufacturers without their consent,

Such JK uniforms would be considered counterfeits.

Indeed, Mr. Lu was planning, like future generations, to forcefully establish the "rules" in the circle ahead of time.

Surveying his current competitors, almost all of them offered counterfeit products.

Each one was making a killing, complacently sitting on a pile of gold, uninterested in progress.

Thinking they could comfortably make money off counterfeit uniforms?

The typically domineering Mr. Lu completely disagreed.

After feasting for so long, it was time for the market to spit it all back out!

He had to tell all his peers that originality was the real deal.

In 2014, JK uniforms were not as pervasive as in later times; a few steps down the street, and you might see one.

"JK police" wasn’t a term that had been invented yet.

The infamous JK uniform hierarchy wasn’t very clear at this time, the principle of respecting copyrights, and shunning counterfeits was not yet deeply ingrained.

Where there’s a circle, there’s a hierarchy, where there’s a hierarchy, there’s a sense of superiority.

School suppliers are superior to Japanese manufacturers, Japanese to national brands, limited custom national brands to in-stock, and in-stock to counterfeits.

Girls in JK uniforms value copyrights highly, resisting counterfeits, originally to protect the few original designers in their circle, promoting healthy development of the circle.

The circle even formed a spontaneous copyright protection squad.

When someone in the JK uniform community pointed out that someone had bought a counterfeit that didn’t comply with the community’s standards, they were often ridiculed by outsiders unfamiliar with the "copyright supremacy" origin of the JK uniform community as "JK police."

But from another perspective, it was precisely these people who promoted the flourishing of original designs.

Even in the market research phase, Lu Jincheng had planned out all of today’s events.

Now, with the final payments just retrieved, holding a large sum of cash, resources, and an overwhelmingly positive reputation from Kikyojirou.

It was time to raise the banner of justice and launch an attack on his peers.

"Could you check this unified document and see if we can add some legal clout to it?"

He planned to partner with the most professional influencers in the JK uniform circle, using their keen eyes to spread identifying details.

Judging from appearances alone wasn’t difficult.

Genuine JK uniform shirts are basically square, wide, and short, not showing the waist, with non-reflective collars, neatly sewn pleated skirts, and the overall tone and layout are even, with sharply folded skirts.
