Chapter 14: Caught in a Plagiarism Storm
Just after I finished listening to the message, Youwei called.
His tone was a little cautious, "Miss Jiang, have you seen those things on the Internet?"
"Online?" Jiang Qin was a little confused. "I just got up."
She clearly heard Youwei's sigh of relief.
"That's good. Don't look at Star Network recently. It seems that our rivals are attacking us. I will find someone to handle this matter.
You can stay in the apartment and rest assured. There is no rush for work. Come back to work after I notify you."
Jiang Qin didn't know what was going on, so she could only agree.
After hanging up, I went to StarNet to check.
It's clearly just some scandal about a small bar on a second-rate planet, but it's ranked among the top ten hot searches on the entire Internet. You can imagine how much money the person behind it spent.
According to Youwei's guess, he thought it was the bar on the same street that was responsible.
But Jiang Qin had doubts.
Because she rejected many companies' recruitment yesterday, is it possible that these people want to teach her a lesson?
Moreover, on the new song chart, "As Wish" has climbed to eighth place.
But now the download data has basically not increased, and netizens are questioning her plagiarism.
There was also contempt for her being a female from a lower-level planet, and disgust at her ungrateful behavior.
The Jiang family did not come forward to help her clarify the matter.
This was within her expectations.
She knew it when the Jiang family avoided other people's sight, secretly drove a private spaceship to pick her up, and did not announce her existence to the public.
They also despised her background, and even more so because when she first came to the Jiang family, she couldn't even use a household robot and couldn't recognize all the words.
The reason why she can recognize words now is because she has the memories of her previous life after her rebirth.
She was unable to go to school in her previous life, but she did not give up. She always remembered the words posted on the school wall in her first life.
Knowledge changes destiny.
Since she couldn't go to school, she took online classes on Star Online, starting with kindergarten courses.
Even though she is not as good as the top students now, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that she is illiterate.
But no one knows. Everyone now thinks she is illiterate. She doesn't know a single word and has never been to school. How could she know so many new songs?
It was undoubtedly plagiarized.
So now everyone is calling for the three songs she uploaded to be removed, otherwise it would be unfair to other singers.
Jiang Qin fell into deep thought.
She suddenly realized that although she didn't even like to go out, she still had a lot of enemies.
First of all, those who were rejected by her might want to take revenge for being humiliated.
Then there are the bar's competitors.
There is also a new song chart.
"Anonymous Comfort" is about to climb to the tenth place. If nothing unexpected happens, at least two of her songs will be in the top ten at the end of the month.
If the song is removed from the shelves at this time, the ranking will be postponed to the following two songs...
You should know that the top ten and the ones after eleven on the list are different, this is a dividing line.
Moreover, she was just a C-rank female, a comforter with no background, and she took up two spots, so it was not surprising that someone would attack her.
The last suspect is Jiang Rumeng.
Although the Jiang family disliked her, she was a female related to Jiang Yulian by blood, so no one would attack her.
Even Jiang Ruhai could only utter a few harsh words.
The only person who would deal with her is Jiang Rumeng, but this person's actions are somewhat illogical. Jiang Qin has no idea under what circumstances she would harm her.
Because in her previous life, she clearly didn't like Jiang Yulian, but she still tried to harm her, and after that, she wanted to help her.
There is a sense of disconnection between harming others and atonement.
***
What Youwei meant by finding someone to solve the problem was actually finding someone to report the problem continuously and have them delete posts and comments.
Then he asked his lawyer friend to send indictments to those marketing accounts one by one, accusing them of cyberbullying females, spreading female information, and other crimes.
As for spreading rumors, he really doesn't dare to sue for that.
Although he didn't know Jiang Qin very well, most of the things circulating online were indeed true.
So he was not sure whether Jiang Qin had committed any plagiarism or not.
To be on the safe side, just ignore this paragraph. The charges are enough anyway.
Interstellar people are quite concerned about matters concerning females.
After someone reported it, all the posts and trending searches had disappeared by noon.
However, the scope of its dissemination has been very wide, and the doubts about plagiarism have not stopped.
Pan Yangxia is a music student at Mocha University. Ever since she saw Jiang Qin's piano playing video, she has become her fan.
He did not believe the sudden negative news on the Internet. He chose to believe what he saw with his own eyes.
So he also posted a post online with the title:
Piano, one of the ancient musical instruments
When I woke up one day, I found that my idol’s negative information was all over the Internet.
She is just a comforter in a small bar. I don't understand whose cake she touched.
I don't know about other negative news about her, but I cannot agree with your questioning of her songs.
Let me first tell you about the instrument that Jiang Qin plays every time she works. It is called the piano, and its origin can be traced back three thousand years ago.
It is a musical instrument from ancient times. It is only recorded in some ancient books now, so most people may not know it.
But Jiang Qin not only knows it, she can also play it. Doesn’t this prove her level?
In today's age where any sound can be synthesized, don't people who know how to play ancient musical instruments deserve to be called musicians?
Or are you just discriminating against her because she is a female from the Barren Planet?
Although Pan Yangxia is just an ordinary student, he still has quite a number of fans because he occasionally sings live.
After all, he is handsome, and many companies have contacted him and want to sign him before he graduated.
He just wanted to make his official debut after graduation so he didn't agree.
As soon as his post was published, his fans received message reminders and went online with great anticipation.
As a result, I saw my favorite anchor speaking for others...
[…Speechless. I thought Xia Xia had finally remembered the password to the optical computer, but I didn't expect her to go online to clarify it for someone else.]
[Xia Xia should delete the post immediately. The first bird to stick its head out gets punished in these kinds of situations. It's better to be prudent and protect yourself.]
[Yeah, and you don’t know that female either. If it turns out to be true, everyone will scold you.]
[Alas, I really like those two songs too. What a pity! I probably won’t be able to hear them again.]
[I guess it will be taken down soon? As long as enough people report it, it will go through review.]
[That shouldn't be the case, right? If she plagiarized, she must have someone to plagiarize, right? If she really did plagiarize, why didn't the person who was plagiarized speak out?]
[Oh my god, are you a prophet? The person whose work was plagiarized has spoken out. Everyone, go watch.]
