Chapter 435 I Will Soon Be No Longer Alone
"Yanjing Literature and Art", Zhang Dening felt a little dazed when he saw Li Qingquan who suddenly burst into laughter after answering a phone call.
What happened to the boss? Should I make a phone call and ask the hospital to come over and take him to the hospital for treatment?
Or maybe...
The scene of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination suddenly appeared in Zhang Dening’s mind.
One slap and everything will return to peace.
But she could only think about this idea in her mind, but she didn't dare to do it! Fortunately, she didn't dare to say anything at this time, but someone dared to speak up. Zou Yan came and said, "Old Li, what's going on?"
Li Qingquan was very respectful to Zou Yanlai. When he heard her ask, he smiled and said, "This is really a little funny. I can't help it."
"Haha, I just received a call from the Literary Association. The matter of Cheng Xuyuan's plagiarism has been clarified."
"Guess what?"
Zou Yanlai looked at Li Qingquan, who looked like he was asking everyone to guess quickly, and asked impatiently, "Is this a misunderstanding?"
"Yes, it's just a misunderstanding." At this point, Li Qingquan was a little surprised and said, "Yan Lai, how did you know?"
"How should I know? I can tell by the look of you."
Zou Yanlai said: "Your face is full of smiles, everyone can see it!"
"If it's true, you wouldn't be in the mood to joke."
Zhang Dening breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
For her, as long as it is not true that Cheng Xuyuan plagiarized, that would be her greatest victory.
After all, if Cheng Xuyuan plagiarized, then she would be the one who would be most affected in Yanjing Literature and Art.
She is Cheng Xuyuan's editor and also Cheng Xuyuan's friend, so naturally she is unwilling to do so. This matter is true.
"Editor-in-Chief Li, what's going on?" Zhang Dening asked quickly without caring about his reserve.
Li Qingquan picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, then said, "That newspaper is correct. The Shawshank Redemption was published in the New York Times."
"The pen name used at that time was not Xu Lingyun."
"The Literary Association found out that the pen name used is Xu Yuancheng."
"As a result, the editor of the newspaper thought that this was a famous American writer and that Cheng Xuyuan had plagiarized his work."
"It was only now that he realized that in foreign countries, first names and last names are reversed."
Having said that, Li Qingquan laughed again.
Because there is no pressure of plagiarism, everyone is more relaxed at this time.
"Humph, this time when Cheng Xuyuan comes back, I will make sure he treats me to a nice meal."
"We are really worried about this matter for him." Zhao Jinjiu said with a smile.
His proposal immediately won everyone's approval.
After all, everyone really put a lot of thought into this matter.
Just at this moment, the phone on Li Qingquan's desk rang again.
Li Qingquan picked up the phone and heard Cheng Xuyuan's voice: "Editor-in-Chief Li, are you looking for me so urgently because someone said I plagiarized?"
"It's about this matter." Li Qingquan said: "Xuyuan, where are you now?"
"I'm in Chang'an. I heard about this as soon as I got off the train." Cheng Xuyuan said calmly, "Editor-in-Chief Li, regarding the allegation of plagiarism, I can..."
Before Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, Li Qingquan said with a smile: "Xuyuan, the plagiarism issue has been clarified."
"Someone in the United States saw that the name you published your work was in English, and the first and last names were in the opposite positions, so they thought that the original author was not you."
"Now everything is clear."
"By the way, the Writers Association has already communicated with that newspaper, and they want to make a public apology."
“Besides, there is also follow-up processing.”
Cheng Xuyuan on the other end of the phone listened to what Li Qingquan said and said with a smile: "Editor-in-Chief Li, thank you."
"I'm sorry to have worried you about this matter."
Li Qingquan smiled and said, "Xuyuan, we are not strangers here, you don't have to be polite."
"What's more, you are the author of our Yanjing Literature and Art. If you are wronged, we should certainly stand up for you."
After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone.
Li Qingquan put down the phone in his hand, faced the curious eyes, and said with a smile: "Cheng Xuyuan is really lucky."
“He only received the news after the matter was resolved.”
"Let us help him."
Zhang Dening did not dwell on Cheng Xuyuan's question, but turned to Li Qingquan and said, "Editor-in-Chief Li, will the newspaper that reported the incident really apologize?"
"Of course, this incident has caused a lot of negative impact on Cheng Xuyuan."
"If you don't apologize, not only will Cheng Xuyuan not agree, we won't agree either."
"Even the Cultural Association won't agree to it."
When Li Qingquan said this, his expression was full of confidence.
After coming out of Li Qingquan's office, Zhang Dening quickly found an office with a telephone and called Shen Yumo.
After this incident happened, Shen Yumo made a special call to Zhang Dening.
Although Shen Yumo said that he just wanted to find out the situation, Zhang Dening knew that this old friend still cared about Cheng Xuyuan.
The call was quickly connected, and Shen Yumo asked anxiously: "De Ning, what's the situation now?"
"Yu Mo, we've figured it out. It was a misunderstanding." Zhang Dening said quickly, "It was the newspaper editor's friend who was not very good at English."
"He just saw that the author of the article published in the New York Times was not Xu Lingyun, but the English name of Cheng Xuyuan, and the surname was at the end, so he thought Xu Lingyun's work was plagiarized."
"That's why it's such a joke."
"I heard from Lao Li that the other party wanted to apologize in the newspaper."
Shen Yumo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.
As an editor, she naturally knew the consequences of plagiarism, and she was even more aware of the harm that Cheng Xuyuan's blatant plagiarism would eventually cause.
Now that plagiarism has not been proven, everything is no longer a problem.
"Have you seen Cheng Xuyuan?" Shen Yumo asked softly.
Zhang Dening smiled and said, "No, this guy just happened to have something to do, so he followed his school teacher to Chang'an to attend a history meeting."
"When we contacted him, everything had been resolved."
"So, he might be the last one among us to know."
At this point, Zhang Dening said: "Yu Mo, don't talk about him anymore. He is living a good life now. You should also start your own life."
"how have you been?"
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's OK."
"What are you talking about? It's okay. You need to start a new life. You can't live alone forever."
Hearing Zhang Dening's serious words, Shen Yumo on the other end of the phone seemed to have thought of something, and smiled and said, "I will soon not be alone anymore."
When Shen Yumo said this, there was a deep meaning behind it.
But when Zhang Dening heard this, she had strange thoughts.
She felt that Shen Yumo had to step out of the shadow of marriage and move towards a new life.
"Yumo, that's right."
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come!"
"I tell you, this life is ours, we must live it well."
"We all have to get better."
Shen Yumo naturally understood what Zhang Dening meant. She smiled and did not explain. Instead, she smiled and said, "Dening, long-distance calls are expensive. Let's just write a letter and talk."
"I'm hanging up first."
Although Zhang Dening still hoped to chat more with Shen Yumo, what Shen Yumo said also made a lot of sense.
Chatting on the phone is really too luxurious, so I'd better write a letter.
I said goodbye and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Just when the plagiarism incident was making headlines, Cheng Xuyuan was strolling around the university campus with Professor Li and others.
The meeting to be held this time was about the protection of historical sites, and Cheng Xuyuan came here purely to make a cameo appearance.
However, an old professor at the school took a liking to him, so Cheng Xuyuan followed him around.
Naturally, they were accompanied by someone from the organizer, but they were mainly accompanied by Professor Li and his team, while Cheng Xuyuan and several young counselors from the other school walked behind as a background.
"Brother, you are so young and you are already working at Yenching University. It's really enviable!" A young counselor wearing glasses and looking to be about 26 or 27 years old said to Cheng Xuyuan with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "You misunderstood. I am Professor Li's student and I am now a sophomore."
When the young counselor heard that Cheng Xuyuan was a student, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
But then, he smiled and said, "Brother, you are so young, and you can be brought here by Professor Li. You will definitely be able to stay in Yanda in the future."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally accepted other people's blessings.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I hope I can stay in school like you in the future."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, the counselor showed a smile on his face.
At this time, Professor Wang, who was walking in front, said, "Old Li, our school has been working hard on the protection of ancient cultural relics and the maintenance of historical sites recently, and we have made some achievements."
"Among them, two are my graduate students and are now able to publish papers."
"If you have time, give them some more guidance."
Professor Wang and Professor Li were once from the same school, but later they were assigned to different schools.
Although the two have a good relationship, they are still a bit competitive about some things.
For example, now, when Professor Wang introduces his students, it is as if he is telling Professor Li that although our school is not as famous as Yenching University, the students I train are good.
Can all stand on their own.
Professor Li also brought two lecturers this time, but neither of them was considered his students.
However, Professor Li was well prepared for this kind of thing, so he pointed at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Old Wang, when it comes to teaching students, I'm not as good as you!"
"Your student is already capable of standing on your own, but my student is only a sophomore."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Professor Wang's face.
But then, Professor Li said, "This kid is just average at research. He just has some talent and writes some random historical stories."
At this point, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, what is the name of the book you wrote about the Ming Dynasty?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Professor Li, who suddenly couldn't remember, and thought to himself, why are you still pretending at this time.
Whenever I write something, you always ask for the manuscript.
But at this time, he couldn't let Professor Li down, so he could only honestly say, "Oh, "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty"."
