Chapter 227: Stupid Tricks Used Again
It snowed heavily in Yuncheng for several days in a row, but the sky miraculously cleared up on the day of Pei Ye's full moon banquet.
The full moon banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel in Yuncheng, and there were so many people attending the banquet that Xie Zhaoyuan couldn't even count them. But she didn't need to count them. She just needed to carry Pei Ye and collect red envelopes everywhere. The rest of the interpersonal communication problems would be solved by Pei Xingzhi and Xie Jiangshan.
Because the weather forecast said it would snow in the evening, the banquet was scheduled for noon. A group of people had fun together for most of the day, and it was almost dark outside when they broke up.
Pei Xingzhi and Ye Ci were both drunk, and the driver was the one arranged by the Xie family.
Ye Ci was leaning against the car window, dozing off with his eyes closed, when the cell phone in his coat pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and answered a call. Before he hung up, he was completely awake.
"Yes, I understand. Mr. Pei is right next to me, I will tell him immediately."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Zhaoyuan held Pei Xingzhi's hand and asked curiously.
"Huh..." Ye Ci let out a deep breath, turned around from the passenger seat and looked at Pei Xingzhi and said, "Brother Pei, Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi have started fighting."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi slowly opened his eyes which were wet with drunkenness.
He stood up, lifted his head from Xie Zhaoyuan's shoulder, took out his glasses and put them on.
"What's going on?" He reached out and took Xie Zhaoyuan into his arms, his fingers habitually kneading Xie Zhaoyuan's cheeks.
Xie Zhaoyuan's face had a little bit of baby fat, which disappeared some after giving birth, but her face became soft and tender and more touchable. Sometimes, when Pei Xingzhi was touching it, he couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite.
Ye Ci: "Ten minutes ago, the advertising department of Qin Group released a video on a certain audio platform. The main plot of the love law plagiarized the advertising idea designed by their department a long time ago."
"Someone must have bought traffic for that video. It's already trending on the search list just a few minutes after it was released."
"... again?" Xie Zhaoyuan was speechless and couldn't help laughing. "Could it be that Lu Yibai came up with such a stupid idea?"
"It was really Lu Yibai who came up with this!" Ye Ci said with certainty, "He and Qin Sisi were in cahoots with one of them giving advice and the other in charge of execution. They cooked up this plagiarism scandal in less than three days."
"Less than three days?" Xie Zhaoyuan keenly grasped something from his words, and his eyes suddenly darkened, "How do you know so clearly?"
"Because..." Ye Ci glanced at Pei Xingzhi's face, and suddenly swallowed back all the words he had just said, "Because I'm not sure either, sister-in-law, you should ask Brother Pei secretly later."
"Hmm?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked up at Pei Xingzhi with a questioning look in his eyes, "What's going on?"
Pei Xingzhi kissed her on the forehead and whispered in her ear, "There are strangers in the car. I'll tell you when we get home."
"...Okay." Although he felt very itchy in his heart, Xie Zhaoyuan was sensible and stopped asking.
She took out her cell phone from her bag, opened WeChat and watched the video of Xiang Xiang sent by Xie Jiangshan, and then opened a certain audio app to watch the plagiarism incident caused by Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi.
This matter has been ranked third on the hot search list, and its popularity value has just exceeded 20 million.
Xie Zhaoyuan clicked on the hot search comment section, but surprisingly did not see many comments insulting Pei Xingzhi or the laws of love.
The netizens in the comment section were all very rational. They were not immediately led by the Qin Group’s video, but calmly left messages asking for a complete chain of solid evidence.
[Is Qin Group guilty of plagiarism? That's not very credible. Let's produce some solid evidence first. 】
[After all, it’s such a big company, why did they only post a few blurry screenshots to prove plagiarism? This is so unprofessional. 】
[Hahahaha, our Love Law has not even been launched yet and it has been accused of plagiarism. Can you guys who are engaged in business wars respect the IQ of netizens? 】
[The Law of Love plagiarized?] Is it copied from Qin Group’s advertising idea? Qin Sisi, do you dare to go to the toilet and talk? 】
[The internal test of the Law of Love has not yet ended, and the Qin Group has already smelled the scent and is here to stir up trouble. I wonder if you, the Qin family, are treating our Dahua as a Japanese? 】
There are too many rational netizens, and the plagiarism scandal has not caused much impact at all. It's just empty heat.
Xie Zhaoyuan put away his phone and cursed with disdain: "Two idiots, you don't even change your tactics when you play a trick on me."
Pei Xingzhi curled his lips and chuckled: "It would be better if I didn't change my tactics. I just dug the pit and they jumped down on their own initiative, which saved me a lot of effort."
Xie Zhaoyuan: "The netizens on TikTok are relatively rational. So far, I haven't seen many people speaking for the Qin Group. But believe it or not, it won't be long before a group of very sober niche guys will appear on the Internet to help the Qin Group lead the trend."
Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Of course I believe it."
Xie Zhaoyuan's guess was not off at all. As soon as their car arrived at Xie's house, the Internet army speaking for the Qin Group forcefully broke into the hot search comment area.
Xie Zhaoyuan took a quick look and found that the brainwashing tactics of the Internet trolls were almost the same as she had expected.
[Is Pei Xingzhi plagiarizing again?] The issue of Pei Group plagiarizing Weilan Studio has not been resolved yet, so how come such a scandal has been exposed now? 】
[Cold knowledge: Pei Xingzhi is a repeat offender. Before the Pei Group went bankrupt, he was exposed to have plagiarized other people's designs. 】
[Let’s put things one way or the other. The law of love was copied, so what does it have to do with Qin Sisi? It's better to be objective and not subjective. 】
[Boss Pei, long time no see. Where are you plagiarizing again? 】
[What we are saying is, if you can’t make a game, don’t force it. How much future can your game have if they even copy other people’s advertising ideas? 】
"Pei Xingzhi, has Zhuyuan Technology registered a Tik Tok account?" Xie Zhaoyuan asked Pei Xingzhi in the bathroom, sitting cross-legged on the bed.
“Bang!”
Pei Xingzhi turned off the bathroom light and walked towards Xie Zhaoyuan while wiping his hair with a towel.
"Not yet. The studio is too short on staff, so I plan to hire a separate account operator and then open an official account after I recruit one."
"That's a pity." Xie Zhaoyuan held the tablet and curled his lips. "If Zhuyuan Technology had an official account, it could fight back by taking advantage of the trending searches."
"No hurry." Pei Xingzhi sat on the bed and took the tablet away from Xie Zhaoyuan's arms. "I originally planned to keep silent for two days before responding. Even if Zhuyuan Technology has an official account, there will be no movement now."
"Ayuan, don't you want to know why Ye Ci and I know so many details about the plagiarism scandal? I'll tell you now."
"Well!" Xie Zhaoyuan immediately perked up, "You go ahead."
