Chapter 31 plagiarism incident trends on social media, but a twist?
Jiang Zhiyao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the comments.
An Shixia, let's see how you turn things around this time.
The honor that belongs to me, I will eventually reclaim.
She turned off her phone, happily preparing for bed, thinking she'd respond with her main account tomorrow.
At that time... those who once cursed her will become her swords, piercing her enemies. The process is not important; what matters is that she will be the ultimate winner.

Once the post went viral online, An Zhiyu received the news immediately.
His face darkened, and he made a phone call, instructing the public relations department to remove the trending topic.
Before Anjia's PR department could even react, the trending topic disappeared instantly.
"Mr. An, the trending topic has been removed."
An Zhiyu immediately guessed who it was, but he only nodded slightly in front of the employees: "Yes, keep an eye on things at all times, and retreat immediately if there is any sign of trouble."
After An Zhiyu finished speaking, he turned off his phone and gently hugged Yun Ranshu beside him.
Yun Ranshu glanced at him sideways: "What's making you so angry?"
An Zhiyu snorted: "I don't know who filmed the video of you and Xiaxia together, but now they're saying Xiaxia's grades were faked and even accusing others of plagiarism. It's ridiculous."
Seeing his sullen expression, Yun Ranshu chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, just remove the trending topic. Don't let them bother Xiaxia."
"Wife, you are so good."
Yun Ranshu reached out and ruffled An Zhiyu's hair: "Of course I'm good, you should cherish me."
Don't be fooled by how clingy An Zhiyu is now and how he subtly shows affection; he used to be aloof and hard to pursue.
It took her three years to make An Zhiyu remember her and gradually fall in love with her.
After they started dating, she discovered that An Zhiyu, who seemed aloof in front of others, was actually faking it.
In front of people he's close to, he's a funny guy.
However, she still liked him, psychologically, no matter what he was like.
Yun Ranshu couldn't help but kiss him on the lips: "Zhiyu."
An Zhiyu seemed to be ignited by a fire; his eyes suddenly changed, becoming aggressive.
He reached out a hand and placed it behind Yun Ranshu's head, then kissed her.
It's not about just scratching the surface.
Their body temperatures gradually rose, and a hint of ambiguity filled the air.
An Zhiyu freed one hand and turned on the air conditioner.
"Dyeing books, I want to..."
Yun Ranshu gave a soft "hmm" in response to his kiss.
Did you wear it?
"I'm wearing it."
"Um."
The blanket slipped off quietly, only to be pulled back up by a pair of slender hands. It had started raining outside sometime earlier, and by the time the rain stopped it was nearly midnight.

An Shixia went to bed early last night, completely unaware that she had been drawn into an online controversy.
Yan Lingyu naturally wouldn't tell her; he didn't want An Shixia to see any negative information.
Jiang Zhiyao, who was preparing to appear as a victim in the dormitory, was completely dumbfounded.
She searched online endlessly, but after scrolling through countless posts, she still couldn't find the information she wanted.
She gripped her phone tightly, already understanding the situation.
This trending topic has definitely been removed.
She was unwilling, very unwilling. Could ordinary people really not fight against capital?
She doesn't believe it!
Since posting one message won't work, I'll post two or three; eventually someone will see it.
She opened the secondary account where she posted the video yesterday, only to find that it had been throttled and the comments had vanished overnight.
Fortunately, she still had the screenshots from yesterday, so she edited another video, changed her account, and continued posting it.
#Yesterday's trending topics are gone
#The power of capital is truly immense.
#TheMandela Effect Is Actually Around Me
Three more trending topics, making things even more lively. Netizens who commented yesterday have reappeared and are sharing the posts.
I thought yesterday was a dream.
If I stand idly by today, and disaster befalls me one day, no one will be there to cheer me on.
[...For no other reason than to increase its popularity]
Inside the company, An Zhiyu frowned deeply.
The more trending topics are removed, the more suspicious people will become.
He was in a bit of a panic when Yan Lingyu suddenly sent him a message: "Brother, don't worry about the trending topics. If possible, try to increase her popularity."
An Zhiyu knew that Yan Lingyu would never do anything to harm An Shixia, so he replied with an "okay".
"Let the Ministry of Public Security make a big fuss about this, the more sensational the better."
Jiang Zhiyao was still excited when she saw that today's trending topics hadn't been removed and that the number of views was even a hundred times that of yesterday.
She immediately issued a statement on her main account, identifying herself as a victim.
I am the person involved in this incident. On the day of the competition, I was accidentally bumped into and took the wrong sheet music, which caused this misunderstanding.
An Shixia is my good friend, and I believe she wouldn't do such a thing. It was wrong of me to take the wrong sheet music, but I was already on stage and didn't have time to think, so I could only play according to the sheet music. I hope everyone won't misunderstand.
I know it was my fault. I shouldn't have played that sheet music, which made my good friend think I plagiarized.
I sincerely repent. Even if my results are canceled and I can never participate in piano competitions again, I will accept it. I hope everyone will not scold my good friend; she did nothing wrong.
However, I really didn't mean to take the wrong sheet music. If I could, I would really like to continue participating in the competition.
People online who saw this statement even felt that he was forced to say it.
Many people left messages on her account, urging her to bravely stand up.
[If the streamer is threatened, they should take a breath.]
Jiang Zhiyao replied: "I've been breathing all along."
If you're being forced to, just blink.
Jiang Zhiyao replied again: "I was blinking when I replied to your message."
【What good friend? If they were a good friend, they would never report you. You've been manipulated!】
She didn't explicitly say she was forced, but she subtly hinted at something in her replies to netizens.
Those who claim to be champions of justice online, and even those who had been viciously attacking Jiang Zhiyao just a few days ago, have all changed their tune and are now attacking An Shixia instead.
They criticize capital, criticize powerful backers, and criticize unfairness.
Some people even tagged the Piano Association, demanding an explanation.
The matter escalated to the point that it became so widespread that anyone scrolling through short videos would come across it.
Netizens now feel they have won, that they have defeated capital.
As long as we don't give up, we'll never be off the trending topics list.
Victory will eventually come!
He Huaisheng was also refreshing the news on his phone, looking at the online abuse directed at An Shixia, and thinking about how to comfort her.
When he came across Jiang Zhiyao's post, he felt once again that Yao Yao was extremely kind. She just wanted fairness and even asked others not to criticize An Shixia.
He took out his phone, found An Shixia's WeChat account, and typed a long message, intending to send it.
But before he could press the send button, he felt the message was a bit inappropriate. It was too long, and An Shixia would think he loved it so much. No, no, he had to delete some of it.
He edited and revised, finally leaving less than 30 words. He was finally satisfied and clicked send.
But the next second, he broke down.
