"Zhizhi, something happened to Gu Lan." Feng Yinuo pushed open the door anxiously and said to Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi was memorizing the lyrics at that time. After hearing this, she quickly put down what she was holding and ran out with Feng Yinuo.
When she arrived, Gu Lan had tears in her eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to let them fall. Her hands were clenched into fists, with veins exposed.
Several staff members stood in front of her, and the two sides were in opposition.
Surprisingly, Lin Xi and her friends were also here.
Yu Zhi walked to Gu Lan's side, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Before the staff member could speak, Lin Xi answered first: "Zhizhi, I'm not making this up. The lyrics written by your Gu Lan were plagiarized. How can she be used in a performance? If it were you, I would just revoke her qualification."
The rap group is not only responsible for interpreting the songs, but also needs to create their own lyrics. Yu Zhi had read Gu Lan's lyrics before. They were very well written and easy for others to empathize with.
The staff hadn't anticipated this situation and asked Gu Lan, "Do you have any evidence to prove it wasn't copied?"
Yu Zhi also looked at her, but seeing that the girl still didn't want to speak, she replied, "Do they have evidence?"
This refers to Lin Xi and the other two. As expected, they immediately replied, "We have it. Qianqian wrote this article two years ago. We have documents to prove it. What evidence can she have?"
However, Yu Zhi felt that it was not that simple. They were obviously well prepared and determined to win.
Ignoring the others around her, Yu Zhi turned around and hugged Gu Lan. She was 1.7 meters tall, and even though she was very thin, she could still hold the girl in her arms. She patted her back gently and said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, I believe you. Tell me."
The little girl who had been enduring it just now suddenly burst into tears, feeling extremely aggrieved.
This made Yu Zhi even more determined that there might be something behind this matter.
Lin Xi was a little unhappy: "You..."
But before she could finish her words, she was frightened by Yu Zhi's eyes and shut her mouth, which reminded her of her miserable experience in the stairwell.
After Gu Lan calmed down, Yu Zhi let her go.
The girl's voice still had a tearful tone, and it was softer than usual: "I didn't copy it, it was originally written by me."
The person next to Lin Xi wanted to protest, but the next second he heard Gu Lan say, "You said you wrote it, but can you tell me your intention?"
The man said unconcernedly, "It's just family affection."
"No, it's not just about family love, it's written for my grandma."
The girls slowly filled in the story.
Gu Lan's father was sent to prison for stealing when her mother was pregnant. Her mother abandoned her after giving birth to her, and she was raised entirely by her grandmother.
Although the old man is very old, he still insists on going up the mountain every day to cut branches, and then weaving them into baskets and bags of various shapes to sell in the town. This is the only source of livelihood for the two of them.
She was in poor health and had been troubled by various illnesses for years, but she was reluctant to spend money even on medicine. Finally, one morning, she fell ill and could not get up.
The little girl couldn't give up the last relative in the world who was related to her, so she started to think of various ways to make money to treat her grandmother's illness.
She had a lot of experience in making music before, and by chance, she joined the company she is currently working for.
The company promised to transfer the money to the card left in the hospital afterwards, but the consequence was that Gu Lan could only stay in the company every day to train and write songs, and had no chance to meet her grandmother. The little girl at that time naively thought that her grandmother would undergo surgery after the money arrived, and would soon recover to her pre-illness appearance.
But it didn't happen. The company didn't give the hospital a penny, and grandma died in the hospital less than a month later because there was no money for treatment. And where was Gu Lan at that time?
She still dreams of living with her grandmother after the five-year contract period.
In half a year, she produced several songs for the company, all of which became hits and made her a lot of money.
Finally one day, Gu Lan heard the staff chatting and learned that her grandmother had passed away.
The little girl felt like the sky was falling. How could these people do this? How could they dare to do this?
But she had no way to fight against the capital, and could not even propose to terminate the contract, because the penalty for breach of contract was an astronomical figure that she could not afford to pay.
On a desperate afternoon, Gu Lan wrote down these lyrics, but they happened to be seen by a contestant from the same company, and it evolved into what it is today.
After telling this story, the little girl's face was covered with tears.
Yu Zhi had witnessed many things like this since she was a child. After all, that era was corrupt and backward, but she never expected that such darkness would still exist in this seemingly advanced and upright world.
The staff also fell silent, obviously not anticipating such a development.
"You, you will have to pay the company a penalty for breach of contract if you say this!" the girl opposite said angrily.
Lin Xi didn't hold her back, and his expression changed immediately.
This was a disguised admission, and there was a reason why Gu Lan refused to explain everything just now. The huge penalty for breach of contract was always hanging over her head, making it difficult for her to breathe and unable to tell her grievances.
After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel much more relaxed.
"I don't know when thieves will ever be able to get away with it again."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Yu Zhi turned around and saw Shi Rui. It was obvious that this person had been listening here for a long time.
It's over.
This was Lin Xi’s first thought after seeing him. This man’s background and methods could crush everyone. It was over.
But Shi Rui did as she thought and immediately called his own lawyer. This matter could not be intercepted like this.
Director Zhang was furious when he heard that such a thing happened on his show. He has always been a person who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.
In an instant, the positions were reversed. The girl who claimed that Gu Lan plagiarized her work was just the daughter of the company's president. The company was not large and had always relied on exploiting employees to make money, which was extremely unethical.
For someone at the top, dealing with the enemy below is as easy as crushing an ant.
In less than an afternoon, the matter came to a conclusion. Gu Lan and other exploited employees of the company appealed under the leadership of lawyer Shi Rui. The matter was also accidentally exposed by the staff, and it was immediately criticized on the Internet.
Regardless, justice finally arrived.
