It seems Bai Xiaolian sold the copyright a long time ago. That makes sense, otherwise how could she suddenly become so rich? Even if the novel becomes popular, she would only earn tens of thousands of yuan a month at most. But Bai Xiaolian's clothes don't look like they cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Nan Zhi opened the editor's WeChat directly. This matter had already caused a big enough stir for her, so there was no need to wait any longer.
Nanmu Youzhi: DouDou, my novel has been accused of plagiarism these past few days, but it was actually Fengye who stole it. She stayed at my house for a while before, but she published it earlier. What should I do?
After all, this matter has escalated quite a bit in the past few days. Now, Maple Leaf's "Mr., Your Wife is Here" is being adapted into a TV series, which is trending on social media. There are also many accusations on Weibo that Nanmu Youzhi plagiarized the novel. If this continues, the only outcome will be that Nanmu Youzhi deletes the novel.
DouDou was just thinking about how to tell Nanmu Youzhi when she sent her a message.
Siji.com and Yunwang have always been at odds. To be honest, DouDou really doesn't want her writers to plagiarize Yunwang.com.
After reading it, editor DouDou quickly replied to the message.
DouDou: Are you serious, cutie? If so, as long as we have evidence, the company can take care of it for you.
Nan Zhi was completely relieved when she saw the reply. She had already prepared to take action herself, but now that the company was willing to step in, she wouldn't need to go through so much trouble; otherwise, she would have to go through legal proceedings.
After all, this novel has been published by Maple Leaf and has over 100,000 views, accumulating a large number of fans. It can be said that it has become a legendary work.
If Nanmu Youzhi is indeed the original author in the end, then wouldn't everyone who wants to see what happens next all switch to Siji.com?
These are all considerations for the editors and the company; it's foreseeable that this book will generate a huge wave of popularity and revenue.
Nanzhi decided to send the surveillance footage and a photo of the creation date of the novel on her USB drive directly to her.
She started writing it in the US, so it's quite old.
Nan Zhi didn't pay any attention after that, and just waited for news from the editor. Her original intention in writing this book was not to make money, but simply to share her story. She felt somewhat disgusted that Bai Xiaolian had stolen it and published it.
I thought I was doing something helpful, but who knew I'd raised a thankless wretch.
Nan Zhi had no idea what was going on at the company, but a week later, Bai Xiaolian suddenly called her.
"Waaah, cousin, could you... could you please let me have the novel? Please don't pursue this further, please... waaaah..."
Nanzhi: "......"
“Cousin, I really know I was wrong, but now the film and television rights have been sold, and the company is making me return all the money and delete the novel. The company says that as long as you don't pursue the matter, everything can be settled.”
The netizens and fans were unaware that Bai Xiaolian had stolen the novel. In fact, many of her fans left comments criticizing her under Nan Zhi's novel, "Transmigrating into a Book: Meeting the Male Supporting Character."
Bai Xiaolian still has the nerve to ask me to let her go; she certainly has a thick skin.
"I gave you a chance," Nan Zhi said coldly. "You didn't believe I had evidence, and your actions were full of loopholes. Now who can you blame?"
Bai Xiaolian was silent for a while, then her sobs grew louder. She was extremely aggrieved. "Cousin, you already have so much. Giving me this book won't hurt you. I just want to live a better life. Is that wrong? Please take back the evidence and tell your company not to pursue this any further, okay?"
Nanzhi: "......"
"Tsk tsk tsk, young lady, your cousin is so shameless, how could she say something like that?" Meow Meow Machine couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hehe, Bai Xiaolian, give it to you? You make it sound so easy. Why should I give it to you? Every single word was typed out by me with great effort. You just want to get something for nothing? There's no such thing as a free lunch. I've offered to help you before, but you didn't need it. Now you're taking the fruits of other people's labor to satisfy your own wealthy lifestyle. Don't you think that's disgusting?"
Nan Zhi sneered. She walked to the sofa, sat down, tapped the sofa with one hand, held her phone in the other, and spoke with a hint of interest.
Bai Xiaolian was speechless for a long time before she continued:
"Cousin, please help me. You said you offered to help me before, but I didn't agree then. Now that I do, can you consider this book your way of helping me out?"
Nanzhi: "..."
Bai Xiaolian had become accustomed to a life of luxury, and it was too difficult for her to suddenly return to the way things were before. So now she could only shamelessly beg Nanzhi.
Yunwang is also helpless now. Whether they release the evidence from Sijiwang or go through legal proceedings, it will not benefit them.
Furthermore, considering that Maple Leaf has never written a novel, and its future value is unknown, the company decided not to get involved in this mess.
"I can't help you with this. Goodbye."
After Nan Zhi finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately, not caring what Bai Xiaolian wanted to say. This whole thing was because she was blinded by greed and didn't know how to repent.
The rest went smoothly. Bai Xiaolian called Nanzhi several more times, but Nanzhi didn't answer. Soon after, the movie "Sir, Your Wife is Here" was deleted.
It's easy to imagine what the fans were speculating about, and Siji.com also issued a statement, basically saying that Nanmu Youzhi is an original work and they hope everyone will support original content.
This matter is now over, and Nan Zhi is quite satisfied. As for Bai Xiaolian, she will no longer have any dealings with her.
When Lian Chuchu learned that her leading lady had just vanished, she was furious.
"What's going on with this maple leaf? If you're going to plagiarize, at least do it cleverly. And who is this 'Nanmu Youzhi'? Why are you dragging me into this mess?"
Lian Chuchu complained to herself, finding the name "Nanmu Youzhi" both annoying and disgusting.
She finally couldn't resist calling Gu Ying; the two hadn't been in contact for almost a month.
Even Chu Chu had been hoping that Gu Ying would contact her, but she never did.
This time, she finally couldn't take it anymore. When she broke off her engagement with Lin Feifan, she had mentioned their engagement to Gu Ying, but Gu Ying only said that she had just broken off the engagement and it wouldn't be good for her if it happened too soon.
Even Chu Chu agreed, but Gu Ying contacted her much less frequently afterward.
This made Lian Chuchu feel resentful, so she played hard to get and didn't contact him. Every time she was with Qi Hao, she couldn't run into Gu Ying, so Lian Chuchu decided to take the initiative.
It rang for a long time before it was finally answered.
"Waaaaah, Brother Gu Ying, I... I'm so sad."
As soon as the other party answered, Lian Chuchu began to cry and complain.
"The master is in the study; I'll go find him."
A strange male voice rang out, and Lian Chuchu's face stiffened; it wasn't Gu Ying.
