-33- Video
"You've seen it, too. It's the 'backflip' figurine I designed earlier." Zhao Jinghuan paused, wondering if another of their classmates had inspired Lu Kai's story and made a figurine based on it. Sister Zou said sternly, "First and foremost, we need to find a way to contact the blogger who posted this." Lu Kai said, "I've sent her a private message, but she hasn't replied all day. She had the nerve to accuse me of plagiarism, yet now she's playing coward. I'm truly impressed." Zhao Jinghuan asked, "Weibo private message?" Lu Kai shook his head, indicating a private message from Xiaohongshu. Zhao Jinghuan uttered an "Oh," thinking that people her age did use Xiaohongshu more often. Just like when she'd misunderstood Waikiki plagiarizing her, her first thought was to speak up on Xiaohongshu. A sudden thought struck Zhao Jinghuan, and her back straightened. Lu Kai continued to ramble on, but Zhao Jinghuan's heart began to race. She thought to herself, "No way. That can't be the case." I should... not be that stupid, right? In just a few seconds, the thought in her mind, like a can of cola with a Teng tablet, ballooned wildly. While Lu Kai and Sister Zou were talking and paying little attention, Zhao Jinghuan secretly pulled her phone from her trouser pocket and opened Xiaohongshu. The red number "99+" at the bottom of the message bar made her breath hitch. Last night, when she'd been browsing Xiaohongshu, that spot had been empty. Zhao Jinghuan's brain stopped working, but her trembling hand instinctively clicked on the red number. The comments, likes, and favorites that popped up on the message page clearly explained everything, but she still insisted on clicking the post the comment pointed to. Then, the Xiaohongshu post she'd posted on March 15th popped up: "A small, unknown designer was copied by a big company. How can I defend my rights?" Zhao Jinghuan suddenly felt suicidal. She swiped her phone downwards, and the words that popped up in the comments section turned into sharp knives, stabbing her heart. "Support the blogger's rights protection!" "We must never bow to capital." "What a crap, someone copied this?" For the first time in her twenty-plus years, Zhao Jinghuan truly wanted to die. She wanted to bang her head against the wall, bang her head against the wall, and bang her head against the wall. The roar in her heart nearly shattered her chest: "Ahhhhhh, I actually... forgot to delete the post!!!!" Lu Kai and the others discussed it for a while, but couldn't seem to come up with a suitable solution. Zhao Jinghuan suddenly swallowed and raised her hand tremblingly: "Um... I have something to say." Sister Zou glanced at her: "What's the matter?" "That post...
"You've seen it before. It's the 'backflip' figurine I designed before."
Zhao Jinghuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that maybe another classmate of theirs was inspired by Lu Kai's experience and made a figurine?
Sister Zou said seriously, "The most urgent thing is to find a way to contact the blogger who posted this."
Lu Kai said, "I've sent her a private message, but she hasn't replied all day. She had the nerve to accuse me of plagiarism, but now she's acting like a coward. I'm really impressed."
Zhao Jinghuan asked him, "Weibo private message?"
Lu Kai shook his head and said it was a private message from Xiaohongshu.
Zhao Jinghuan said "Oh" and thought that people of their age do use Xiaohongshu more. For example, when she misunderstood that Waikiki had plagiarized her, the first thing she thought of was to speak out on Xiaohongshu.
Zhao Jinghuan suddenly thought of something and his back suddenly straightened.
Lu Kai continued to ramble on and on, but Zhao Jinghuan's heart was in turmoil. She thought to herself: No way. It shouldn't be that bad. I shouldn't be... that stupid.
In just a few seconds, the idea in her mind expanded wildly like a can of Coke with a Teng tablet added.
While Lu Kai and Sister Zou were talking and not paying much attention to her, Zhao Jinghuan secretly took out her cell phone from her trouser pocket. She opened Xiaohongshu, and the red number "99+" on the message bar at the bottom made her breath stop.
When I was browsing Xiaohongshu last night, this place was still empty.
Zhao Jinghuan's brain stopped working, but her trembling hand instinctively clicked on the red number. The comments, likes, and favorites that appeared on the message page clearly explained everything, but she still insisted on clicking on the post that the comment pointed to.
Then, a pop-up appeared: the Xiaohongshu post she posted on March 15th: "A small, unknown designer was plagiarized by a big company. How can I protect my rights?"
Zhao Jinghuan suddenly wanted to die.
She swiped her phone downwards, and the words that popped up in the comment section turned into sharp knives, stabbing into her heart.
“Support bloggers’ rights protection!”
“We must never bow to capital.”
"What kind of crap is this? Someone even copied it?"
For the first time in her twenty-plus years, Zhao Jinghuan truly wanted to die. She wanted to die by banging her head against the wall, banging her head against the wall, and banging her head against the wall. The roar in her heart almost shattered her chest:
“Ahhhh I actually… forgot to delete the post!!!”
Lu Kai and the others discussed for a while, but still couldn't seem to come up with a suitable solution. Zhao Jinghuan suddenly swallowed and raised his hand tremblingly: "Um... I have something to say."
Sister Zou turned her head to look at her: "What's the matter?"
"The person who posted that Lu Kai plagiarized might... maybe... it seems..." She paused, "Don't be angry."
Sister Zou frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Zhao Jinghuan pulled her ear awkwardly and said stubbornly, "The person who posted that Lu Kai plagiarized might be me..."
"ah?"
…………
Zhao Jinghuan explained the whole story, and her best friend Ji Anya suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "I was wondering why I felt a sense of déjà vu about what happened today. Yes, your statue was plagiarized, and I was the first to find out. I was the one who posted it to you." After she said this, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate, and she had accidentally put herself in the dock.
Zhao Jinghuan was embarrassed. "I came to see Lu Kai because I thought he had plagiarized me. Later... I really thought I had deleted the post."
The people in the room were speechless for a moment. Sister Zou rubbed her temples and finally said, "I thought you were different from them..." As she spoke, she suddenly punched Lu Kai in the back.
"It's all your fault! I told you idiocy is contagious!"
Lu Kai screamed, rubbing his back and looking at Sister Zou in shock: "What does this have to do with me?"
"How can it have nothing to do with you? It's all your fault for insisting on making that crappy figurine. How could that crappy design sell?" She suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhao Jinghuan. "That's not right. Jinghuan, how could you and Lu Kai have the same idea?"
Zhao Jinghuan looked guilty and said casually, "It just...it just suddenly occurred to me." Sister Zou wanted to ask more, but Dorasi stood up to defend Zhao Jinghuan: "Then now...Sister Jinghuan, just delete the post, right?"
Sister Zou thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If this gets out of hand and someone suddenly claims the poster is actually an employee of our company... a former employee, I'm afraid that won't convince anyone..."
Wan Feng, who was always silent, suddenly spoke up: "Actually, just let Lu Kai come out and explain why he made that figurine."
Sister Zou, who didn't understand the situation, retorted without thinking, "How is that possible?"
Wanfeng insisted: "Really, no one else has this experience. As long as he tells it, everyone will understand." Sister Zou asked Wanfeng what his experience was. Just as Wanfeng was about to speak, Lu Kai covered Wanfeng's mouth with a nervous look on his face.
"No, no, no, what kind of experience can I have!" He covered Wanfeng's mouth and glared at him, "What are you doing? Do you want to break up with me?"
Sister Zou glanced at Lu Kai who was still making trouble, and suddenly felt a little discouraged. She threw her phone on the table and said, "Yes, don't say anything, just wait to die. Why bother to solve the problem?" Then she pulled over a chair and sat down, turned her head and no longer looked at them. It was obvious that she was really angry.
Lu Kai suddenly became timid again, and leaned over and said, "Sister Zou, don't be angry..."
"I'm not angry. Why should I be angry? I'm just a kindergarten teacher. Why should I be mad at you little brats? I can only stay for a few more months. I can just leave early."
Lu Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. Just tell me, it's not a big deal. I, I..." He found it difficult to speak, and poked the evening breeze beside him, "Go ahead and tell me. I told you to tell me."
Evening Breeze didn't show him any mercy, speaking bluntly and directly: "At our senior year graduation ceremony, when Lu Kai went up on stage to receive his diploma, he did a backflip in front of the entire school, but he missed and landed on his face, knocking himself unconscious. The ambulance even came."
In fact, the only people present who didn't know this story were Tomato, Sister Zou and Dorasi. Dorasi was a person who didn't care about anything, while Tomato and Sister Zou were completely stunned by what Evening Breeze said. It should have been an old story with a bit of humor, but Sister Zou and Tomato felt that it was a bit too unreasonable, even difficult to digest.
Tomato said, "Huh? Graduation ceremony? Backflip? Falling?"
Wanfeng nodded and said, "You heard it right." Tomato then looked at Lu Kai with a confused look on his face, which made Lu Kai blush.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Kai said stiffly, "Who hasn't done stupid things when they were young?"
Tomato said, "That was a stupid thing they did, but you're the idiot." He paused, as if still in disbelief, "No... you actually ran up and did a backflip?"
Sister Zou was more focused on the figurine: "So... Lu Kai... you lost someone at the graduation ceremony, a really big one, and your way of dealing with it was to make a figurine of it?"
Lu Kai asked: "Don't you think this is very literary?"
"How can it be literary?" Sister Zou uttered a helpless "Ah—" Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to Zhao Jinghuan, "Wait, why did you make this figurine?"
Zhao Jinghuan bit her nails and said, "Didn't I just say that? I... I just thought of it casually." Ji Anya didn't think there was anything worth hiding, so she directly exposed Zhao Jinghuan: "We are Lu Kai's junior schoolmates, we all know about the backflip."
Lu Kai exclaimed, "Ah!" He pointed at Zhao Jinghuan and said, "You said before that you were a college student!" Ji Anya came to Zhao Jinghuan's rescue and said, "Isn't it because you were afraid of embarrassing him?"
Lu Kai was somewhat annoyed and pointed at Zhao Jinghuan, saying, "So you're not my fan either! You're not even a college student, you... what else did you lie to me about!"
Sister Zou suddenly made a pause gesture: "Shut up!"
The room suddenly became quiet. Sister Zou thought for a while and realized that this might be a story that could convince everyone. It might even bring a lot of traffic to Little Freckles.
"Okay, then let Lu Kai explain everything clearly. However, we need to carefully consider how to write the clarification document. This might have a lot of positive effects."
Wanfeng suddenly said, "Wouldn't a video be more intuitive?"
Sister Zou nodded. "Yes, let Lu Kai shoot a video to explain the whole story. It will be better than words."
Wanfeng was stunned for a moment: "Ah, the explanation video, um...it's pretty good too."
Seeing Wanfeng's surprised look, Sister Zou asked him what was wrong: "Or what is the video you are talking about?"
Wanfeng said: "Just now I wanted to say that I have the video of that backflip."
Lu Kai stared at him with wide eyes: "What do you have???"
Wanfeng said, "The video of our graduation ceremony is the one where you do a backflip and land on your face."
