"Do you all think that I, Qin Qi, only know how to play the game of love and don't understand these things, so you've brought out such useless stuff to fob me off?"
In the conference room, Qin Weibai seemed a little sleepy, wearing a bright red, low-cut V-neck, wide-sleeved robe that revealed his muscular, tanned chest. He leaned back in his office chair.
The large screen behind him displayed a comparison between Teng Hua Winery's "The Dead Sea" and Chercher's "The Man Nearing Death".
Everyone present was a fool. Judging from the timing, the level of detail, and the writing style, it was obvious who the plagiarist was.
“Seventh Young Master, this Wisteria Wine is written by one of our well-known authors. She has several other books that are planned to be adapted into big IP dramas, and one of them has already been filmed and is waiting for review and broadcast. If something happens to her at this time, we will suffer a huge loss…” One person stood up, pausing and clicking.
Isn't this plagiarism?
There's no need for so much trouble. Besides,
How can something done by scholars be called plagiarism...?
It's nothing more than borrowing ideas.
Qin Weibai looked at him with a forced smile, "According to Editor Yang, as long as it can create benefits for us, it's acceptable no matter what, right?"
Editor Yang stammered, unsure of what to say.
Another person stood up. "Seventh Young Master, you're new here, so you might not know. We've dealt with this kind of thing more than once or twice. The procedures are all in place. You just need to wait a while, and it will disappear. Besides, aren't people online saying that 'The Man on the Verge of Death' plagiarized 'The Sea of Death'? It's even simpler."
Others echoed this sentiment.
Qin Weibai curled his lips and glanced around. "Does anyone know who Chercher is?" He crossed his arms and said, "A bunch of good-for-nothings."
He had only recently taken over this branch office, and he already knew about it beforehand.
Sure enough, it was even worse than he imagined.
"Just a fraudulent artist," Editor Dong said dismissively. "Seventh Young Master, we all know the process of creating comics. How could she possibly handle multiple roles and keep updating? It's simply impossible."
"Yes, how could that be?"
They gathered in twos and threes, talking amongst themselves.
"So you think there's nothing wrong with doing this just because of this, right?" Qin Qi still had a smile on his face.
"This..." Editor Yang's slightly wrinkled face wore a fawning smile. "Seventh Young Master, this isn't just what we said; it's pretty much the consensus online. Besides, he's just an artist. No matter how talented he is, can he compare to us? Not to mention, we have the Qin Group behind us."
It's no secret in the capital that Qin Qi has a good relationship with the eldest son of the Qin family.
Old Master Qin has not yet retired. The father of the eldest son of the Qin family is the young master of the Qin family. Because of his previous injury, the eldest master of the Qin family directly handed over all the power in his hands to his eldest son, who is the eldest son of the Qin family.
"Oh, Editor Yang means to use power to oppress people..." She drew out the last syllable, her long, slender phoenix eyes staring straight at him.
Upon hearing these four words, everyone fell silent.
Editor Yang wiped away the cold sweat. "Seventh Young Master, you can't say that. We've already found a production company for 'The Lost Sea,' so that Chercher can just give us some compensation. It'll be a mutually agreeable thing, don't you think?"
"So she agreed? Or did one of you contact Chercher immediately after this happened?" Qin Weibai scanned the room, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
"So, the truth is quite clear, and Teng Hua Winery contacted you immediately, right, Editor Yang?"
Editor Yang's face turned pale, and he nodded stiffly.
The winemaking business was started by Editor Yang, and it was thanks to her that Editor Yang gained a place in the company.
This is his cash cow, how could he bear to throw it away?
"It's the same question as before: who is Chercher? Has anyone looked her up? And where is Chercher's website? Has anyone of you paid attention to that?"
Qin Weibai continued.
"What, nobody's talking?" Qin Weibai stretched his neck.
"You probably think that Chercher is similar to those newbies who were plagiarized before. Just copy what was used before and use it again now. As long as your interests are not harmed, what's the use of even if you criticize them fiercely online? Besides, this time, it seems that you are in the right, so there's no need to think too much about it."
"On the website of the Wall Street Dream Chasing Group, Gu Nanbei, a verified account under the Gu Group's subsidiary in Fusang, personally engaged in a heated online argument with Gu, and one of her autographed books was sold for 200,000 yuan."
Qin Weibai opened the analog watch on his left wrist with his right hand, and with a gentle slide of his right index and middle fingers, a chat box appeared in mid-air.
"Editor Yang, did you see those three words clearly? Did you all see them clearly?"
Everyone looked up.
The three large characters in the center of the chat box
Assistant Meng
!!
Throughout the entire capital city, or rather, among those who could be referred to as the "Seven Young Masters of the Qin Family" via their mobile phones (similar to WeChat and QQ), this was a common practice.
There was only one person!
The eldest son's special assistant, and the second-in-command of the Gu Group!
Qin Weibai was not surprised by their expressions at all. "The Qin Group's dealings with the Gu Group are still limited to the subsidiaries of the Gu Group. The things you've done that have alarmed Assistant Meng have made this small subsidiary of the Qin Group so powerful. Should I applaud you for single-handedly propelling the entire Qin Group to new heights!"
At first, his tone was calm with a hint of sarcasm, but later he couldn't suppress his anger anymore.
If the foreign dream-chasing conglomerate and Gu Nanbei only surprised them, then this Assistant Meng was what frightened them the most!
If the Dream Chasing Consortium was simply out of their reach, then Gu Nanbei's mysterious nature and the fact that he was protected by Japan made them somewhat wary of him.
Then this one is the real heavyweight!
Silence fell instantly.
After a long silence, Qin Weibai finally spoke.
"Tell me, Editor Yang, how do you plan to resolve this?"
“Seventh…Seventh Young Master…” His face was deathly pale. Anyone who had been in the capital could not possibly not know Meng Zhaojun.
Her reputation has always been questionable, but her methods are truly terrifying.
——
"No, we resolved the boss's matter before we even got involved."
Xie Yunyu, who was in the United States, had just received news that she had been accused of plagiarism and instructed her subordinates to deal with it when she heard this news.
"Resolved?" Xie Yunyu was somewhat incredulous; how could this be?
She had read a bit of it; it was about a very famous author named Teng Hua Winery, who was being heavily criticized online. How could it be resolved so quickly?
Who solved it?
"It was the official statement from the website where Teng Hua Winery is located. The entire Teng Huang Winery team has been exposed. I checked, and it was Assistant Meng from the Gu Group in Beijing who contacted the current administrator of that website," Bernardo replied. He was just about to deal with it when he found out it was already resolved.
As expected of Assistant Meng.
Meng Zhaojun's fame is known throughout the world.
