Now, Zhong Yuejin has been involved in a plagiarism scandal, and as the first editor-in-charge, she also has an unshirkable responsibility.
"We must make things clear!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Ying knew that there was no way to deny this matter, and it was even more impossible to conceal it. He had to find out the truth.
"Stop arguing! The editor-in-chief is here."
Li Ying pushed through the crowd and brought in editor-in-chief Yan Chen.
Yan Chen, with gray hair and reading glasses, asked hastily as soon as he entered the room: "Who among you is Comrade Lin Huowang?"
"Comrade Editor-in-Chief, Lin Huowang is still downstairs and hasn't come up yet!"
"Yes! Lin Huowang and his wife were downstairs and hadn't come up yet! We couldn't help but run up first. We are 100% sure that Zhong Yuejin is a shameless plagiarist."
"Comrade editor-in-chief, you must return this poem to Lin Huowang. You cannot let Zhong Yuejin continue to deceive the world and steal his reputation."
…
When the educated youth saw that the person who could make the decision had arrived, they spoke even more excitedly.
"Well! Everyone, please be quiet. I understand the general situation. This matter is very serious, and I will definitely find out the truth."
Then he turned to look at Zhong Yuejin and questioned him, "Comrade Zhong Yuejin, I can give you a chance to reform yourself if you admit that you really plagiarized Lin Huowang's poem.
We can give you a lighter sentence, not hold you specifically responsible, and just return the signature rights of this poem to Comrade Lin Huowang. What do you think?"
Yes!
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen still gave Zhong Yuejin one last chance, but Zhong Yuejin still gritted his teeth and refused to change.
After all, when Lin Huowang wrote the poem that day, it was impromptu, and there was no surveillance video recording it like in later generations.
No one could provide evidence to prove that it was written by Lin Huowang, so Zhong Yuejin insisted on his argument and said: "Right and wrong will be judged by justice. Either they have more people or they are right. Editor-in-Chief Yan, this song "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" was written by me.
They insist that it was written by a farmer who grew up in a village. Isn't this a joke?
How could a farmer like Lin Huowang, who had never been to middle school or high school, write such a beautiful and romantic poem?
"Who says that only farmers can write poetry? Zhong Yuejin, are you discriminating against our fellow farmers?"
At this moment, Liu Rumeng's righteous voice was heard in the corridor.
She walked into the room with Lin Huowang, and Huang Xiaoli stood beside them like a guard, clearing the way.
"Liu...Liu Rumeng, you..."
When Zhong Yuejin saw Liu Rumeng and Lin Huowang beside her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. His neck immediately shrank, and he took a few steps back in guilt, even turning half of his body away.
"Zhong Yuejin, how can you be so shameless?
It was clearly the poem that Awang wrote for me, so you could publish it and earn royalties, but why did you impersonate him?
If you publish using Awang's name, I will be grateful to you for helping Awang become famous. The royalties can be regarded as your hard work fee.
But now, your bad behavior is completely like that of a thief and a robber!
We have already reported the case, and comrades from the county public security bureau will be here soon.
Zhong Yuejin, don't resist any longer. Confessing your guilt immediately is your salvation now!"
Wow!
Don’t be fooled by Liu Rumeng’s usual weak and gentle appearance, as if she is easy to bully.
But when it came to forest fires, she refused to give in. Her solemn look refreshed everyone present's impression of her.
Zhong Yuejin, who was already frightened, collapsed immediately when he heard the word "Public Security Bureau".
“I…I I I…”
He is now in a completely difficult situation and wants to admit his mistake and seek a lighter sentence.
But... in order to monopolize this poem, he has already killed two lives directly and indirectly!
One poem, two lives! ! ! !
How can he turn back?
Seeing him like this, Chief Editor Yan Chen already had the answer in his mind.
He no longer paid attention to Zhong Yuejin. Whether he admitted it or not, he could no longer influence the overall situation.
On the contrary, he looked at Lin Huowang with great curiosity as he walked in with such a beautiful girl like Liu Rumeng.
"You are Comrade Lin Huowang, right? I heard that Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms was written as a wedding gift for this beautiful girl?"
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen looked at Lin Huowang with a smile.
Lin Huowang also respected Yan Chen, a senior in the literary world, and immediately said modestly: "Hello, editor-in-chief! I am sorry to have embarrassed you with my humble work. In fact, the background of the creation is quite simple. At that time, Mengmeng was going to marry me, and she went back to the educated youth compound to pack her things.
It happened to be a poetry reading session for the educated youth. At that time, they thought that Mengmeng had completely degenerated after following me and would never be exposed to poetry and literature again.
My sister also went there and blew the cow away for me, saying that my brother could write poetry.
So… I was forced to do something and I recited this poem on the spur of the moment.”
Hearing Lin Huowang's legendary creative background, Chief Editor Yan Chen couldn't help but applaud and said: "This is inspired! Comrade Lin Huowang, I am ashamed! Now I can truly understand your "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", which is full of optimism and hope, that vitality, that romance and hope for the future..."
People who engage in literature are different. They have abundant associative ability and emotions.
The second generation people next to them were so envious of Liu Rumeng and Lin Huowang, the "fairy couple".
