Chapter 236 Plagiarism



Liang Su looked at Zou Lijuan with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He said, "Teacher Zou, since the picture book has been delivered, I will leave first."

Zou Lijuan was stunned. She was not angry at all. How could she act out the rest of the scene?

She was flattered that the matter was resolved so easily.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Liang Su winked at Rong Xiang and pulled her away.

Rong Xiang was still in a trance, confused and puzzled: "What's going on? Wasn't it agreed to be a purchase? How did it become a donation?"

She really knows how to choose the time. There are so many parents present. If Liang Su refused on the spot, who knows what unpleasant words Zou Lijuan would have for her.

"Is that it?"

Liang Su may not need the money, but he was cheated for nothing and he can't just swallow his anger.

Liang Su sneered, "Of course I won't let it go like this."

No one can make her suffer unless she wants to.

But Zou Lijuan is a military dependent and a nursery teacher after all, so it is difficult for her to handle the situation.

Of course I could only go home and complain.

Shen Congji listened to her and paused in unbuttoning his shirt.

"Donate? You donated?"

Liang Su pouted, "In front of so many parents, she and I haven't signed a purchase agreement. If I refuse, she doesn't know what to say."

Just because she was a military dependent, Liang Su trusted her, so he did not sign the purchase agreement.

Otherwise, at least I can have some evidence to refute it.

Liang Su nuzzled into his arms and muttered, "Who knew military families could be so cunning?"

Dare to cheat her openly.

Shen Congji rubbed her head and said, "Why do I work so hard? Just so that when others bully you, you can fight back openly. Even if you don't donate today, what can they do to you?"

Now that the matter has calmed down, I am still very angry.

Liang Su pouted, "It will have some impact, so I came back to tell you that you have to help me."

"How can we help? Get those picture books back?"

Liang Su: "Do you know how many copies she bought?"

"How many?"

"Two volumes add up to 400 books. There are only a few students in the nursery. Do they need so many picture books?"

One hundred copies of the two volumes together would have been more than enough, but Zou Lijuan asked Liang Su to donate four hundred copies.

What should she do with the unused picture books?

Shen Congji thought for a moment, "Zou Lijuan's husband is from the kitchen team."

He wasn't very clear about the logistics person, so he had to check to find out who it was.

"Don't worry about it for now, I'll have someone check it out."

Before this matter came to a conclusion, Miao Jing, the principal of the base primary school, came to the door first.

She is Commander Lin’s wife, and Liang Su had met her before.

Miao Jing didn't beat around the bush and said, "I heard you donated a batch of picture books to the nursery."

Liang Su was stunned. "Does the base primary school also need it?"

Miao Jing smiled and shook her head. "If we want them, we'll negotiate with the publisher ourselves, and you can just give us a discount then. I came here this time because I have a question: how many books did you donate?"

Liang Su: "Four hundred volumes in total, both volumes."

Miao Jing's smile faded a little. "I have a friend who is the principal of Dexin Town Primary School. Coincidentally, he and I had dinner together yesterday and I learned that someone wanted to sell 300 picture books. They were 20% cheaper than the market price, and they happened to buy them."

This number...

If the nursery leaves 100 books, there will be 300 books left.

Liang Su's face darkened slightly. "You don't know, originally these picture books were not donated by me, but purchased by Teacher Zou from me, but..."

"It's just that she cheated you. What you did was changed from purchasing to donating." Miao Jing hit the nail on the head.

Liang Su smiled helplessly, "Yes."

Miao Jing nodded. Liang Su was shy and felt embarrassed to refuse.

If it were her, she would never have agreed to donate at that time.

"This isn't the first time Zou Lijuan has done something like this. I want to use this as a starting point to investigate the nursery's accounts."

So Miao Jing came to find Liang Su because this matter required her cooperation.

Liang Su readily agreed, and combined with Shen Congji's investigation, they found the person directly responsible for Zou Lijuan's husband.

Although they only work in a small kitchen, the couple earns quite a lot throughout the year, some of which cannot even be traced to its source.

After much investigation, they found the traces of enemy spies.

Shen Congji has made another contribution, and everyone doesn't know whether to say it is luck or ability.

If he hadn't lacked the qualifications, he would have been promoted long ago.

Liang Su rubbed his face. "It's like a dream. Zou Lijuan's man is actually related to an enemy spy."

"Just a marginal figure, not too important."

The reason why he showed up again was because of greed.

In the past, he gained benefits from passing on information to others, and became more and more arrogant.

Ever since Tong Xin and his group were arrested, his income has been decreasing. For someone who was used to a good life, how could he go from extravagant to frugal?

Liang Su was a little skeptical, "Is this a coincidence?"

Is it just a coincidence that it suddenly appeared?

Shen Congji patted her back and said, “Leave these things to me, don’t think too much.”

The troops will naturally have to find out whether they have sent anyone else behind the scenes.

By the beginning of June, the sales of Liang Su's "The Adventures of Song Song" had exceeded 50,000, and it was also sold to other places and across the country.

This was something worth celebrating, but at the same time, a book called "The Adventures of Yao Yao" appeared on the market.

The characters in the two picture books are similar, and the content is even more so, except that Song Song is looking for his mother, and Yao Yao is looking for his father.

As soon as this picture book came out, some readers complained that it was "plagiarism" and began to boycott it.

However, "The Adventures of Yao Yao" is cheaper and still attracted a group of readers with its price advantage.

Rong Xiang called the police immediately, but it was of little use.

Even if we catch the person, we don’t know what crime he will be charged with.

"If we let them continue like this, the third and fourth volumes will also be plagiarized."

What Liang Su created with great effort can be obtained by others without any effort.

The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel.

Liang Su bit her lip. If the law couldn't do anything about it, then she really didn't know what to do.

Gu Xia looked out the window. The weather was getting hotter.

"Susu, you can go ask your Uncle Chu."

"Uncle Chu?"

Gu Xia hummed, "He mentioned before that Yancheng has established a patent office, and the country has begun to work hard on intellectual property rights."

It’s just not popular yet, so many people don’t know about it.

If you take a trip to Yancheng, you might gain something.

Liang Su nodded and said, "Sister Rong, you go back first. We'll continue publishing as usual during this period. Let's put the third volume aside for now and wait until we resolve the plagiarism issue."

Rong Xiang nodded, "Then we will wait for your news at the publishing house."

After seeing Rong Xiang off, Liang Su went out to look for Chu Jingcong.
