Chapter 37 After the rain, I can’t understand the men of the Song family.
Chen Cheng knocked twice anxiously.
Assistant Jiang was still in shock. He spoke slowly and explained the whole story clearly.
"This document was received this morning."
"After opening it, I took a general look at the contents. It contained a lot of information, including all the materials the lawyer wanted. These materials were also sufficient to prove that you had registered for the competition and the entire record of the completion process of the work."
“It’s so detailed, I thought someone had recorded your life during that period.”
"Ma'am, I have already contacted a lawyer. You know... this evidence is enough to win the case."
Chen Cheng was also stunned, his face full of disbelief, thinking, is there such a good thing?
Now that the lawsuit is lacking crucial evidence, someone will bring the evidence to your door.
Is it too much of a coincidence?
Chen Cheng hung up the phone and replied to Assistant Jiang's message.
Then he turned around and said to Lin Yi anxiously: I'm sorry, Xiaoyi, I have something urgent to do. Can I make an appointment with you another day?
"It's okay." Lin Yi smiled.
Chen Cheng trotted out a few steps, turned back, and said to Lin Yi: I will definitely contact you!
Lin Yi smiled: "I won't leave quietly, don't worry."
Chen Cheng took out his cell phone: Can I add your contact information?
"After all this time, I'm still the only one that Chen Cheng can ask for his contact information." Lin Yi joked.
Chen Cheng understood her joke and laughed brightly.
When Chen Cheng was studying abroad, because she couldn't speak and her English was poor, she couldn't understand what they were saying. She stayed alone in a corner, looking up words in an electronic dictionary and reading course materials with great effort.
Her incompatibility was quickly noticed.
A few people got together and started betting on who she would take the initiative to make friends with.
Some people guessed that she would ask the most handsome boy in the class for his contact information.
Some people believed that she was a loner and would not take the initiative to make friends, and that no one liked her quiet personality and would not ask about it.
Some even speculated that she would ask members of an association responsible for helping the disabled for their contact information.
She was under observation for an entire semester, and every time she was in class there were always people staring at her, hoping that she would make a big joke in the next second.
Chen Cheng had become numb to the intentional or unintentional ridicule from her classmates and focused on the things at hand. After all, she could barely take care of herself, so how could she have the time to argue with them?
As a transfer student, Lin Yi came to class on the first day and sat down in the corner and fell asleep on the table.
Just happened to sit next to Chen Cheng.
Lin Yi has good academic performance, but he doesn't like to go to class. He always has a world-weary look on his face, making him the least popular person in the class after Chen Cheng.
Later, there was a group assignment. Chen Cheng had already applied to the teacher for the qualification to complete it independently. Lin Yi fell asleep in class, so he didn't know there was a group assignment and slept soundly the whole time.
Out of kindness, Chen Cheng told her.
Chen Cheng wrote down everything he wanted to say on a piece of paper, folded it up, and handed it over solemnly.
When Lin Yi saw the note, he was stunned and his face became solemn.
Chen Cheng thought she was afraid that the professor would ask her to retake the assignment if the group assignment was not completed, so out of kindness, she asked if they wanted to form a team together and use the one she had completed first.
Just like that, naturally, I added the contact information.
Later, when we talked about it, we found out that during those few seconds when Lin Yi was in deep thought, he was complaining in his heart, and he was tired of writing group cooperation assignments and had no intention of doing it. When Chen Cheng carefully asked if she wanted to join a team, seeing her innocent look, he couldn't bear to refuse her, so he agreed.
After a few interactions, they became familiar with each other.
None of those who had made bets guessed correctly, and they also lost interest in observing and stopped staring at Chen Cheng.
To them, it was nothing new that a deaf person and a dumb person became friends, and they didn't want to be associated with them and kept their distance from them.
After exchanging contact information, Chen Cheng left first.
Assistant Jiang and the driver were already waiting at the side door. Chen Cheng opened the back door and quickly got in the car.
Chen Cheng anxiously asked using sign language: Where is the USB flash drive?
Assistant Jiang took out an envelope and apologized, "I received a courier this morning, but the recipient was not specified. I was worried that it was something bad, so I decided to open it and check it first."
Chen Cheng didn't care: "You also said that you decided to check it first because the recipient was not specified. It's okay. Let's check what's in the USB drive first."
Assistant Jiang opened his notebook and opened the USB drive.
There is a lot of content on the disk, but it is organized in an orderly manner and all arranged according to the timeline.
Chen Cheng took the computer and opened them one by one, checking them carefully.
She clicked on all the videos, and even watched some of them twice.
The further I went on, the stronger the physical discomfort became.
I forced myself to continue going down.
The person who sent the USB drive must have lived with her at the time. It even contained a photo of her going out to submit the application form and a short video recording.
"Madam, do you want to check this person?" Assistant Jiang followed along and the more he read, the more excited he became.
Just imagine, if there is always someone hiding by your side, recording your life with a camera every day without your knowledge, how terrifying that would be.
A total pervert and stalker.
Chen Cheng pressed the space bar and the video paused.
In the picture, she had just handed the registration form to the staff, turned around, and smiled at the camera.
Suddenly a person came in, knocked over the camera, and the picture became chaotic.
In the last scene, Chen Cheng anxiously ran over from the window, probably to persuade them to stop fighting.
Assistant Jiang observed Chen Cheng's expression and saw that it was not very good, so he did not ask any further questions.
"I have to report this to my husband," Assistant Jiang said worriedly.
Chen Cheng specifically reminded him: Just tell him that you have found the evidence, and there is no need to check the owner of the USB flash drive.
Assistant Jiang was worried: "Let's check it out."
Chen Cheng: The sender line is blank, which means that this person doesn't want us to find him. And it contains all the evidence in my favor, which shows that he has no bad intentions. We should just accept it and don't worry too much about it.
Assistant Jiang frowned, what Chen Cheng said made sense.
Now is the time to have a lawyer sue him before Ying Yizhi and the others realize they have crucial evidence.
On the way home, Chen Cheng kept tilting his head, watching the greenery passing quickly outside the car window. He slowly closed his eyes and recalled the details in the video.
Assistant Jiang thought Chen Cheng was asleep, so he deliberately lowered the volume when talking to Qian Zhou on the phone about the follow-up prosecution.
The car drove onto the bridge and Chen Cheng opened her eyes. Assistant Jiang paused, thinking he had woken her up.
Chen Cheng gestured: It’s okay, you continue.
Assistant Jiang nodded and continued his phone call.
Chen Cheng opened WeChat and saw a new message on the contact page. He switched to it and saw that it was from Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's profile picture has not changed, it is still a green forest and snow-capped mountains surrounded by white mist.
Chen Cheng asked her: [Xiao Yi, are you busy recently? ]
Lin Yi replied quickly: [I'm fine. I have few classes at school. I go to class on Mondays and Thursdays, and work part-time the rest of the time.]
Chen Cheng: [I may be a little busy these two days. Can I postpone your dinner for two days? ]
Lin Yi: [Of course, why are you being so polite to me! ]
Chen Cheng stared at the screen for a while: [Thank you. ]
Lin Yi: [Oh! Don’t be polite, we haven’t seen each other for two years, there’s no need to be so unfamiliar! ]
Chen Cheng sent an emoticon package to ease the sudden serious atmosphere.
When I got home, Song Jili was also there.
It should be Qian Zhou who told him about the USB flash drive. He took it from Assistant Jiang and looked through all the data on his computer.
Chen Cheng did not disturb them, but sat on the rocking chair with a carefree mind, and even took out a sketch to quickly draw today's sunset.
It was almost time for lunch. Song Jili finished reading all the materials and instructed, "Take the materials to see a lawyer. After sorting them out, send a formal letter and file a lawsuit."
Assistant Jiang packed up and hurried to the law firm.
Song Jili came over, Chen Cheng looked up at him and smiled.
"Orange." Song Jili's tone was a little heavy. "These videos are very private. Do you know who took them? And who sent the USB drive? Do you know?"
No matter who Song Jili is, he can't be fooled or concealed.
Chen Cheng nodded.
Song Jili breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good to know. If someone with ulterior motives followed and filmed me, I simply don't dare to think too much about it.
"Let's have something delicious tonight to celebrate?" Song Jili asked.
Chen Cheng put down his pen and sketchbook and asked: Don’t you... want to ask me?
Song Jili: "It's good that you know. If you want to say it, I will say it."
Chen Cheng's hands suddenly cupped his face.
Song Jili didn't dodge, but took her wrist and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Chen Cheng stared at him for a few seconds and deliberately said nothing.
"You want me to reflect?" Song Jili guessed.
Chen Cheng retracted his hand and asked him: Did you secretly go to the country where I was studying?
"Qian Zhou said that?"
Song Jili told Chen Cheng that he was on a business trip, but in fact he personally went to the school where Chen Cheng had studied abroad, and even made a special appointment to meet with the main staff who were in charge of the competition that year, hoping to dig up some useful clues.
Because it took so long and there was so little useful evidence, I spent five days without finding any particularly useful clues. I had to return to China at Song Quan's urging and got off the plane at noon today.
Chen Cheng nodded: He said it would be better to tell me, as he was worried that we would have conflicts in the future because of this.
"Isn't he afraid that I will cause trouble to him because of this?" Song Jili wondered why this kid had so many tricks up his sleeve.
Chen Cheng quoted Qian Zhou's words: He said that he would rather be scolded now than have a fight in the future where you're in a bad mood and ask him to work overtime.
Song Jili laughed.
"Shall I take you somewhere tomorrow afternoon?" Song Jili asked.
Chen Cheng: Are you not going to work? You have been on a business trip for a week. What are you going to do with the work piled up in the company?
Song Jili said nonchalantly: "What kind of company is this? I am now unemployed."
Chen Cheng asked anxiously: When did it happen?
"My father told me two hours ago." Song Jili said calmly, without any emotional fluctuations.
Chen Cheng stood up: What happened?
"My eldest brother was so stubborn that he insisted on getting a divorce. Mom was in a bad mood, and when Mom was in a bad mood, Dad was in a bad mood, so he was suspended." Song Jili leaned against the sofa, "No one was in charge of the company's affairs, and Dad asked me to go, but I didn't want to be the CEO. I said I wanted to be the chairman, and he got angry and told me to go home and not do anything."
Chen Cheng blinked.
This father and son... No, are these three father and sons decent?
Chen Cheng: You were just saying that in anger, Dad definitely didn’t believe it.
"I believe it. He just needs to swear an oath."
She said: It's such a big company, you and your brother just say you don't want to do it?
"Well, he is capable, just worry about it yourself." Song Jili folded his hands, narrowed his eyes, and was not anxious at all.
Chen Cheng felt a little sorry when he thought of his 70-year-old father-in-law running around for company affairs with a cane.
This is a matter of the Song family's company, and it also involves the Liang-Song Liang family's in-laws relationship, so it's not easy to comment too much.
Chen Cheng sat down, poked Song Jili's arm and asked him: What are you going to do?
"Everything has been planned, don't worry." Song Jili felt like he was doing it the first time but he was familiar with it the second time. He had just been fired in the morning, but in the afternoon he had already made a travel plan, focusing on efficiency.
Chen Cheng was a little confused about the men in the Song family.
-
The law firm was very efficient. They sent the lawyer's letter the next day and even chose to send it during the lunch break to give everyone enough time to watch the news.
Without any ambiguity, the lawsuit directly named Ying Yizhi and charged him with stealing and seizing the fruits of painter Yu Zhi's labor, and ended by mentioning Ying Yizhi and his studio.
Less than half an hour after the news was released, it became a hot search on Weibo and the term went viral.
Qian Zhou was very thoughtful and contacted the navy to bring the entry #famous painter should take the place of the gold medal#.
The title was very eye-catching, and the number of readers increased exponentially. By the time Ying Yizhi realized it and wanted to reduce the popularity, it was too late.
The comments section is a mess.
[I didn’t read it wrongly… I just read it too fast. After reading the entire lawyer’s letter, I still found it a little hard to believe.]
[Does this mean that Ying Yizhi took Yuzhi's place in the gold medal? Oh my god, I can't think straight.]
[Thinking of the analysis in a post I read some time ago, many oil painting professionals agree that if Yu Zhi must plagiarize Ying Yizhi, then at most she plagiarized the two paintings "Sunset" and "The Fading Sun", which is terrifying when you think about it carefully! ]
【In this case, the actual plagiarist is Yizhi. 】
[I went to the same school as Ying Yizhi, we were younger than each other. I met him a few times at school before he became famous. I had the impression that he was a sketch artist, but when he suddenly said that he was good at oil painting, I was a little confused.]
[No wonder the flowers and plants series are so ugly. The reason why they gradually get better is because I am constantly learning... It's hard to comment. ]
[Personally, I still stand by my intention. For such a big competition and such an important award, if they just replace someone, are the organizers stupid? ]
[Yu Zhi has a strong background, isn't he? He sued Ying Yizhi for such a ridiculous reason. Is he planning to drag the court into the drama? ]
[Before the studio makes a statement, I still believe in it. 】
[@Ying Yizhi's personal studio has come out to work. I can't stand those who take advantage of their background to do whatever they want. ]
[If Yuzhi can win this lawsuit, it can only mean that the person behind it is really powerful. ]
[You've been so good to the boss these past two days that you're dragging the judicial system into justifying your plagiarism. Should the Civil Code create a separate article for you? No matter what Yu Zhi did, he should be treated as innocent.]
[I really can't stand it anymore. Are Ying Yizhi's fans mentally retarded? Can't they just discuss things rationally? Why do they have to escalate to personal attacks?]
[Ying's fans, stop being so mean, it makes me want to stop being fans. With a background, you don't have to worry about being bullied, and your strength should not be underestimated. It feels good to be a fan. I have top cancer, I'll say it first. ]
[Do you have any evidence? You are slandering them for having financial backers. What if they are actually the capital?]
【I'm going to say something to Yuzhi. You guys are scolding me and saying I'm a fan. You're confusing right and wrong. OK, I declare that today I'm officially a fan of Yuzhi.】
[When will the court session begin? Can I sit in on the trial? I’m really curious about what’s going on! ]
【Law students want to learn on site. 】
…
After reading the first 100 comments, Chen Cheng put down his phone with a lack of interest, took a long breath, and looked at the time again, confirming that he was too early.
The hour hand and minute hand coincided, at twelve o'clock noon, the door of the restaurant opened, and Lin Yi walked in holding a book.
Chen Cheng stood up and gestured to ask: Did the class just end?
"Well, I have a full class today." Lin Yi put down the book, sat down and drank half a glass of water.
Chen Cheng: I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to make it to the afternoon class, so I ordered food in advance. The dishes are all your favorites.
"Do you still remember what I like to eat?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
Chen Cheng: You asked me to remember it.
Lin Yi's expression was exaggerated: "I was really domineering back then."
The dishes came up, Lin Yi pretended to order them carefully, making sure they were all her favorites, and nodded with satisfaction.
"You asked me out today, is there something going on?" Lin Yi picked up some food for Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng put down his chopsticks and nodded.
Lin Yi: "Ask. Let's not be so serious."
Chen Cheng stared at Lin Yi for a while before asking: You gave me the USB drive, right?
Lin Yi paused and admitted generously: "Yes, I gave it to you."
Chen Cheng: Did you prepare it after you found out that the rain had stopped?
Lin Yi denied: "No."
Chen Cheng guessed again: Was it prepared after public opinion came out?
Lin Yi shook his head.
Chen Cheng really couldn't think of anything, so he pursed his lips in thought.
"It was prepared two years ago, but I just didn't have the chance to send it out." Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "Since your mother came, I have fewer opportunities to meet you, and there are always outsiders present. I watched Ying Yizhiding accept the award for you and enjoy everything you deserve. I was really angry and collected evidence."
Because she knew that if she didn't preserve the evidence quickly, Chen Cheng's mother would send people to destroy everything, and Ying Yizhi would also find a way to erase the evidence after he gained power.
But she didn't have the time to send it out because she was too busy taking care of her own affairs.
Chen Cheng was sitting there stupidly.
During that time, Lin Yi didn't see her and thought that something unexpected happened at home and she couldn't leave.
Later, she suddenly left without saying goodbye and could not be contacted. I thought it was another good friend who chose to end the friendship because of her chaotic family relationships.
I didn’t expect…
"Why do you look so unconvinced?" Lin Yi smiled, but his eyes turned red.
Chen Cheng panicked and signed: I just... I just... I find this too unbelievable, don't cry, don't cry...
Lin Yi turned his head away, tilted his head back slightly, and tried hard to hold back his tears.
Chen Cheng felt guilty: I misunderstood you.
"Don't talk about that."
Lin Yi knew that they all had their own troubles over the years.
Lin Yi wiped away the tears from his eyes: "I have already given you the key evidence, you must win, I have long been fed up with that guy, every time I think of him, my liver aches."
Chen Cheng nodded: Definitely!
She will definitely not let Lin Yi down for all the efforts he has made for her.
After lunch, Chen Cheng received a location from Song Jili, which was in a business district, fifteen minutes away from here.
Chen Cheng walked and lowered his head to reply: [Where are we going? ]
Song Jili pretended to be mysterious: [Keep it secret for now. ]
Chen Cheng thought Song Jili was just looking for fun because he was bored at home and had nothing to do.
This morning he woke up early, took his fishing rod and joined the group of people who liked to fish in the old house.
Suddenly I remembered that he was once grounded and assigned to an airline as a leader because he didn't want to be a leader. He only went to the company once a month. He was so good at dealing with things that he only went once a month. He really has a conscience.
The road ahead was suddenly blocked.
Chen Cheng stopped, raised his head, and saw Ying Yizhi wearing a mask and a duckbill cap. His eyes were filled with anger and he stared at Chen Cheng fiercely.
Chen Cheng tightly grasped his phone and his first reaction was to turn around and run.
