　　At the end of the year, it was Taobao's peak sales season. In order to meet the expected surge of orders, Chaeyoung canceled everyone's weekend plans in the studio half a month in advance. Even with their weekend plans cancelled, the Taobao store...the business wasn't as good as expected.

　Lisa flipped the sales report in her hand and frowned in doubt: "How can we have less turnover this month than last month? Shouldn't the end of the year be the peak season for sales?"

　　Chaeyoung glanced at the report in Lisa's hand and looked depress: "You had a lot of things going on at home, so I didn't tell you that our family's shoes were knocked off."

　　"Knocked off?" Lisa was surprised.

　Chaeyoung turned over the laptop in front of her and showed it to Lisa. She saw a dense page filled with the same shoes, it was the latest design from their studio. Their own shoe design, the search results for Taobao was ranked one, but none of these results were theirs.

　　"Same shoes, but half the cost of ours, who will still buy ours?"Chaeyoung said with a black face.

　　"Is it exactly the same?"

　　"Except that the leather material isn't as breathable as ours, the sole isn't as comfortable as ours, but everything else is basically the same." Chaeyoung sighed, "I asked my uncle and he said that the market is like this. What style has sold well on Taobao. As long as you buy a pair and go back to knock it off, you will soon be able to produce a high-quality imitation. People who don't have high requirements on shoes won't be able to tell the difference."

　　"Can't we report it?" Lisa's heart was messy.

　　"How do you report so many stores? And as long as they make a slight change, they can say it's their own shoes." Chaeyoung sighed, "World famous brands can't take them, let alone our small studio."

　　"This is good ah. What if they will continue to knock off our new products in the future, what should we do?" Although Lisa didn't expect her studio to make a lot of money, her shoes, which she worked hard to design, has been knocked off and profited by others, she felt uncomfortable.

　　"Who will we do..?" Chaeyoung has lost hair because of this annoying matter in recent days. "This group of shops are really disgusting, I really want to hack their shops."

　　"What do you want to hack?" Jungkook who was sitting beside Lisa listened to the entire conversation before he suddenly voiced out his question.

Chaeyoung and Lisa turned their heads at the same time and saw Jungkook's big black eyes staring at the company screen for a moment. When he noticed they were both looking at him, he couldn't help but ask again: "What do you want to hack?"

　　"No... No." Lisa was terrified and shook her head hurriedly. If she didn't stop him, Jungkook would really hack Taobao, then this matter will become a big deal.

　　"Oh." Jungkook saw that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he continued to look down at his book.

　　Lisa breathed a sigh of relief and gave Chaeyoung a warning look at the same time. Chaeyoung spread out her hands to express her innocence.
