Following the instructions of Cao Jie and Xu Ziqian, Banshan posted a statement on his Weibo account, roughly stating that "Seven Deadly Sins" was a work he had meticulously crafted over two years, during which he consulted criminal investigation experts and psychologists. At the end of the statement, he also subtly mocked the pioneer of the genre for going to any lengths to gain popularity.
However, he did not directly accept the challenge from the founder.
After seeing Banshan's statement, Bai Qianmo registered a new Weibo account with the ID "Founder".
She directly tagged Banshan: Since Mr. Banshan has a clear conscience, let's meet at Jinling Hall tomorrow.
When Banshan saw Bai Qianmo tag him, his heart pounded wildly, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to reply.
"Director Xu, do I really have to go to Jinling Hall?"
Xu Ziqian stood by the window, took a drag of his cigarette, and looked down at the hillside with a gloomy gaze: "If you don't go, won't that tell everyone that you plagiarized? While there's still one day left, hurry up and read the script a few more times. I've already contacted some criminal investigation and psychology experts through friends. They'll be here soon. Even if you don't sleep tonight, you have to memorize all the crime-solving plots in 'Seven Deadly Sins'."
Banshan pondered to himself. In the current situation, if he didn't step forward, people would indeed suspect that he was guilty. He might as well take a gamble.
Ten minutes later, Banshan tagged the founder: I hope you won't be too scared to come tomorrow.
Upon seeing Banshan's defiant statement, the fans were thrilled.
[I knew Banshan wouldn't plagiarize other people's work. Go Banshan! Tomorrow, crush that so-called pioneering bastard under your feet!]
[Waaah, Banshan finally spoke up for himself! It's been so tough. He spent two years meticulously crafting his work, only to be accused of plagiarism. That pioneer is shameless! I feel so sorry for Banshan.]

Su Peishan and Li Song were both in Bai Qianmo's office at the moment.
"Under pressure, Banshan has agreed to go to Jinlingtang tomorrow. The negotiations with Fansheng have failed, and I'm afraid there will be other big moves next," Su Peishan said worriedly.
Li Song said, "Cao Jie is a vindictive person. We rejected him this time, and I'm afraid he will target Tengyue next. Fansheng's capabilities in the industry should not be underestimated. We must be extra careful with every step we take from now on."
After listening to Su Peishan and Li Song's analysis, Bai Qianmo pondered for a while.
"Looks like we're in for a tough fight tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Bai Qianmo arrived at Gou Si's company, and Gou Si warmly invited her to his office.
"I haven't seen you for a while, but I see news about you on entertainment news every day. How come you are so hated? I saw some netizens say that they can't eat unless they curse you a couple of times every day."
Despite Gou Si's blunt teasing, Bai Qianmo remained unfazed: "So, I saved her life."
Gou Si: "..."
When it comes to shamelessness, he's second to none.
Bai Qianmo said, "Fourth Brother, the deadline for the bet has arrived."
Gou Si chuckled: "Qianmo, did you plant a spy in the upper echelons of the stock market? How come you always guess right?"
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow: "Is it so hard to admit that others are excellent?"
Gou Si gave him a thumbs up with admiration: "You are indeed amazing. If the first time was luck, then the second and third times were definitely due to your skill. The 20 million you invested this time has already increased tenfold. I will have the finance department transfer this money to your account as soon as possible."
"How much did Fourth Brother earn this time?"
"What did I earn? I lost a fortune on those two stocks I invested in, I lost everything, I didn't even have my underwear left."
Bai Qianmo looked at Gou Si with a shrewd gaze: "You did lose the 20 million you bet with me, but someone as shrewd and wise as you, Fourth Brother, wouldn't have only invested in these two stocks, would you?"
Gou Si stared at Bai Qianmo expressionlessly for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Qianmo, you really can't hide anything from me. That's right, when we made the bet, I actually put up 40 million and invested in the two stocks I chose and the two stocks you chose. In the end, I lost with my choice, but I still made a profit with the two stocks you bought."
Bai Qianmo smiled knowingly. Gou Si was a very shrewd man. Although he didn't fully believe in his own abilities when they made the bet, he trusted her at least halfway after his previous experience of making money.
In addition to the bet, he also invested in the shares she bought, which is equivalent to buying double insurance. If one of them fails, the other will make up for the loss.
"Qianmo, the stock market has been really sluggish lately. I'm having trouble deciding which stock to buy. I've heard a lot of experts say that it's not advisable to blindly invest. Do you have any good stocks to consider?"
"I've recently set my sights on one."
Gou Si's shrewd eyes suddenly lit up: "Tell me about it."
Bai Qianmo frowned with a troubled expression: "This is currently a confidential matter within our company, and it's not convenient to disclose it."
"Qianmo, are we still good siblings? Our collaborations these past two times have been so seamless. You have the brains, and I have the fists. The two of us are simply a perfect combination, invincible!"
Bai Qianmo's lips twitched.
So, Master Gou is actually a martial arts fan?
However, seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Bai Qianmo smiled inwardly, but her face showed a very troubled expression.
"Fourth Brother, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that the time isn't right yet."
Gou Si gave Bai Qianmo a deep look: "Qianmo, are you going to abandon your Fourth Brother? Are we still good partners?"
