You can force install the deb as dpkg doesn't like overlapping files. I suggest you report this to the author of the debs so that it can be fixed

It seems that the package name has been changed from wps-office to kingsoft-office.
And it seems that installing vesion 9 of kingsoft-office does not remove version 8 of wps-office, although they are in conflict over the file '/usr/bin/wps'.

I guess deinstalling wps-office would allow installing kingsoft-office.

But as actionparsnip already wrote, it would make sense to report that problem to the supplier.
