"Do you know what I do?" Wen Ke asked with a grin.
"I'm not sure. I don't think I know you. You probably aren't a student at this school."
Ning Hong remained outwardly calm, but a hint of wariness flickered in her eyes.
"Don't worry about whether I'm a student at this school or not. Just answer me: did you have an article that was accused of plagiarism?"
Ning Hong stared at him for a while. "What exactly do you want? Is it because my story was so outstanding that you've come here specifically to ask for the sequel?"
"It really was you! You guessed right, that's the reason." Wen Ke's face lit up with joy. His intuition was indeed correct.
Wen Ke discovered this by chance.
He was one of the shareholders of the website where Chen Guanping signed contracts, so he could easily find Chen Guanping's contract information. He then followed that information all the way here. When he heard that someone in this school had plagiarized Chen Guanping's articles, he had a sudden thought.
Could it be that Chen Guanping plagiarized this person's article, but because Chen Guanping published it on the website earlier, everyone thinks that Ning Hongze plagiarized him?
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
Because after being accused of plagiarism, this person lost the will to write, and Chen Guanping was unable to write the subsequent content.
"Do you want to sign a contract? Upload that article to the website. I'll give you the best benefits."
“I don’t want to,” Ning Hong shook her head.
"Why don't you want him? Do you know this person?" Wen Ke opened her phone. "Look, this is him. His real name is Chen Guanping, and he lives in your dorm room."
"······"
He hadn't expected that this person would be Chen Guanping.
Since the author never appeared in public, those who came forward to accuse him of plagiarism were mostly his fans. Therefore, he didn't bother to dig up any information about the author.
After all, if you really want to dig up his information, you'd need to hack into the website's archives.
In his life, he wanted to be a law-abiding citizen and didn't want to do anything illegal.
He simply assumed they were just using the same idea.
Although the word counts are almost the same.
How can you be so unambitious?
Wen Ke was surprised that this person was unmoved. "An opportunity to become famous is right in front of you. Don't you want to seize it? Don't worry, if you get into this website, I will definitely support you and recommend you."
“If I wanted to become famous, what’s so difficult about it? I’m so good-looking, I can just start a live stream.” Ning Hong rubbed her nose. “I’m just worried that if I start a live stream and become too popular, people will start bothering me.”
Wen Ke: "..."
What a narcissistic and shameless person! I'm so angry.
Chen Guanping discovered that the novel he had plagiarized had been taken down and he had even been warned.
They said they discovered his plagiarism and gave him a warning this time. If it happens again, they will sue Chen Guanping for breach of contract.
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, unsure whether to take a deep breath or catch his breath.
Ning Hong strolled in slowly and glanced up at him.
Chen Guanping found his heart leap into his throat.
"Hongze, I—"
For some reason, he suddenly felt that his secret might have been discovered.
Ning Hong didn't say anything, but he just had this feeling.
"When you copied me, did you feel happy?" Just as the afternoon class was about to begin, Chen Guanping thought he was overthinking things, but Ning Hong suddenly said this.
He turned around abruptly, looking at Ning Hongze in disbelief.
"What, what did you say?"
"This one—"
Ning Hong then directly found the website, "Isn't this yours?"
How did you know?
Chen Guanping took a deep breath. "Was it you who took this article down?"
"No, I don't have any evidence, how can I get back at you?"
Ning Hong chuckled, "However, the second half of your writing is really—a complete mess."
He only read a few chapters before he couldn't continue reading at all.
"I—I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have plagiarized yours—" He didn't deny it, after all, he was sitting next to Ning Hongze when he read that article.
Ning Hong didn't mind letting her roommates read it first; however, because there were so few words, the other two weren't very interested.
Chen Guanping wasn't initially interested, but after accidentally reading a page, he was completely stunned.
This is so well written!
He only started copying it after he learned that Ning Hongze had no intention of uploading the novel to the website. Who knew that something like this would happen?
This puts him in an extremely awkward position.
Fortunately, Ning Hong had no other evidence.
Ning Hong was not really willing to accept Chen Guanping's apology because it lacked sincerity.
What's the point of such an apology when you're in your dorm room, with no one around?
He will still be criticized by outsiders as a plagiarist.
"If you are truly sincere about apologizing, you should apologize publicly."
Ning Hong raised his chin; he was more than half a head taller than the person in front of him, and looking down at him made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I--"
How could he possibly do something like that? He's already quite well-known. If he were to admit to it, his writing career would probably be over.
He can't do it—
Some even complained that Ning Hong was being too aggressive. He'd already apologized, what more did he want?
Looking at this man's expression, Ning Hong knew what he was thinking.
They might even feel they went too far.
Oh well, I only come back occasionally to rest anyway. What's the point of having a roommate like that? I should just get rid of him.
Ning Hong then turned around and left the room.
He didn't want to talk to him anymore.
At the beginning of the next semester, Ning Hong vacated her dormitory and moved out completely.
He treated the other two people in the dormitory to a meal, but left Chen Guanping out. Anyone with eyes could see that there was something going on between them.
The two roommates were thinking about whether to mediate their conflict, but as soon as they returned to the dormitory after dinner, they heard Chen Guanping's sarcastic remarks, which revealed his extreme dissatisfaction with Ning Hongze.
The two of them immediately lost interest in the idea.
Although Ning Hong disliked Chen Guanping, she never spoke ill of him behind his back. But Chen Guanping—
Well, even an upright official can't settle family disputes. Although they aren't family, it's best for them to leave this matter of friendship alone.
Jiang Cha spent four years in kindergarten.
Zhang Rui was also very fortunate to be admitted to a university in Beijing. It wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either, which made them extremely happy. Zhang Rui clutched her purse and then dragged Ning Hong to a high-end restaurant in Beijing.
"Come on, come on, it's my treat!"
