Who's missing?
Wu Yanping and Zhong Yiyi were both a little confused.
"Come on in, let's have a seat!"
Wang Qian gestured for them to arrive, saying, "We'll talk business once everyone's here."
"Well... okay!"
Wu Yanping wisely refrained from asking further questions, exchanged a glance with Zhong Yiyi, and followed Wang Qian into the shop.
"Miss Wu, I've heard about what happened to you!"
Sitting down opposite Wu Yanping, Wang Qian went straight to the point: "Did the Liu family bribe the media to smear you?"
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is most likely Liu Yanran."
Before Wu Yanping could answer, Zhong Yiyi interrupted, "I just went to see Mao Yingying, and she said she was willing to pay 50,000 yuan to settle the matter privately, so she can be considered to have tacitly admitted to plagiarizing the song you wrote for Ms. Wu."
"So, did you agree to her request?" Wang Qian asked.
"Of course not!"
Zhong Yiyi rolled her eyes. "The song was written for Miss Wu. I was just there to find out what was going on. As for whether or not to settle it privately, that's between you and Liu Yanran. What right do I have to make that decision for you?"
Then she asked, "Wang Qian, what are you going to do?"
"Wait!" Wang Qian smiled mysteriously.
"Waiting for whom?" Zhong Yiyi asked subconsciously.
Before Wang Qian could answer, Wu Yanping said with surprise and uncertainty, "If I'm not mistaken, you're waiting for Liu Yanran to come to you on her own, right?"
"Yes, that's her!"
Wang Qian nodded, "Everything is ready this time, we just need the right opportunity!"
"What kind of trap have you set for Liu Yanran?"
Wu Yanping asked curiously, "How can you be so sure that Liu Yanran would take the initiative to come to you, especially today?"
"Because she doesn't have much time left!"
Wang Qian said meaningfully, "Unless she's lost her mind or has already given up, she'll definitely come today."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud shout came from outside the shop, "Excuse me, is Mr. Wang Qian here?"
Everyone present turned to look at Wang Qian.
"Since you're here, let's invite them in to talk!"
Wang Qian stood up and walked out of the store.
Out of curiosity, Wu Yanping and the others followed Wang Qian outside.
Three people came in from outside.
Two women and one man.
Wang Qian was also very familiar with these three people; they were Liu Yanran, Liu Yang, and Mao Yingying.
"Wu Yanping, you're here too?"
Upon seeing Wu Yanping behind Wang Qian, Liu Yanran couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.
"Are you surprised to see me here?"
Wu Yanping sneered, "So you can come, but I can't?"
"Of course not!"
Liu Yanran waved her hand, forcing a stiff smile, "You're here just in time, I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
Then, she glanced around and said, "How about we find a quiet place? It's on me!"
"Can!"
Wang Qian agreed without hesitation, "Since Miss Liu is treating, then we'll go wherever you want to go."
Liu Yanran was slightly taken aback.
Why did you agree so readily?
Did Wang Qian already know she was coming?
Not only Liu Yanran, but Liu Yang and Mao Yingying also looked at each other, feeling that something was not quite right.
"It seems you were indeed prepared!"
After a brief moment of shock, Liu Yanran suddenly realized, "Did you know this day would come, so you registered the copyright source for that song in advance?"
"Didn't you say this isn't the place to talk?" Wang Qian asked instead of answering.
Liu Yanran was taken aback, then nodded, "That's right, let's find a restaurant and talk while we eat."
As she spoke, she turned and walked in one of the directions.
Liu Yang and Mao Yingying hurriedly followed.
However, before leaving, Mao Yingying turned back to look at Wu Yanping and Zhong Yiyi with a very complicated expression.
Once upon a time, she was probably the closest person to Wu Yanping.
However, at this moment, it has become Zhong Yiyi.
But all of this was of her own making.
She doesn't know whether to feel jealous or regretful.
...
Shortly after, at a nearby upscale restaurant.
"Wang Qian, now that we're here, let's get straight to the point!"
As soon as she sat down at the table, Liu Yanran stared intently at Wang Qian. "Tell me your conditions. As long as they're not too unreasonable, I can agree to them!"
"If you had spoken so readily earlier, we wouldn't have wasted so much time and energy going around in circles!"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "But before I make my offer, I'd like to ask you a few questions."
“Sure, go ahead and ask!” Liu Yanran nodded.
"My first question is about the song I wrote for Yanping. When did you plagiarize it?"
"It wasn't me!"
Liu Yanran pointed to Mao Yingying beside her, "She gave it to me!"
Mao Yingying quickly lowered her head, not daring to make eye contact with anyone present.
After all, this is something that can't be done in public, and now that she's been caught red-handed, even if she's thick-skinned, she'll still feel guilty.
"Oh? Mao Yingying?"
Ignoring the other party's awkward situation, Wang Qian asked directly, "Did you give it to Liu Yanran?"
Mao Yingying's body trembled, her expression shifting for a moment, but she still forced herself to nod, "Yes, it's me!"
"Understood!"
Wang Qian said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, I sang and played the guitar at the Love Hotel across from the Pearl Hotel last time, and you remembered the melody and lyrics, right?"
"Just tell me directly, what do you want?"
Mao Yingying was immediately enraged and said impatiently, "Miss Liu has already released this song, it's like spilled water, there's no way to take it back. How do you want her to compensate you? Just name your price!"
