Ying Zijin looked up and stretched out her hand. "Let me see."
The female secretary immediately handed the phone over.
It was another Weibo post that was posted 10 minutes ago.
However, because First Light Media was very popular today, this Weibo post had already entered the top five trending searches.
# Designer, Charm, reveals her identity #
[Zhan He: Hello everyone. You may not know me, but you should know my name as a designer, 'Mei'.
First Light Media used my family to threaten me and made me design four sets of clothing for them. They were the Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. They were the four sets from the International Fashion Design Competition.
It's time for me to stand up. I don't want to be threatened by First Light Media anymore.
Actually, there should be five dresses. I didn't hand over the last one. This dress is called Huang Qi. I'll use it to prove my identity.]
There's a picture at the bottom.
There was such a legend in Hua.
The Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Vermillion Bird of the South, and the Black Tortoise of the North.
During the Han Dynasty, the Qilin was added to the list. That was why there was the Huang Qi in the center.
Therefore, the Four Divine Beasts and the Five Divine Beasts were correct.
Zhan He was certified as a victim of the First Light Media incident.
Ying Zijin's style was not easy to imitate.
Tianxing Entertainment had borrowed several designers from Times Media to barely come up with such a design.
But when put together with the four sets designed by Ying Zijin, there was indeed nothing out of the ordinary.
When the netizens saw this, they were certain that this was a set.
Even Shang Yaozhi and Xie Manyu didn't know that Ying Zijin was the designer of Charm.
Only the female secretary knew about it.
The female secretary answered two more calls. After she was done, she asked, "Boss, Best Actor Shang and Best Actress Xie are asking if they should post an explanation on Weibo."
Ying Zijin yawned and said, "Tell them not to. Otherwise, they will be dragged into this mess and it will be even more troublesome."
She realized that as long as something didn't happen to her, most people wouldn't be able to learn from it.
Did she really think that she only added a logo to her design?
Those patterns were actually all kinds of symbols.
This matter was the easiest to resolve.
"We don't need to make a statement yet," Ying Zijin said calmly. "Let's go to the company's apartment first and collect the evidence."
If he were to make a statement now, it would only increase the public opinion. It would only do more harm than good.
The secretary nodded. "Understood, boss."
**
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the door of the apartment of the scriptwriter of The Long Song World.
The secretary knocked on the door.
There was a scream and the sound of something falling.
"She's probably scared out of her wits." The female secretary sighed. "She's still very young and hasn't experienced this kind of thing."
"The Long Song World" was a hit in 2018. The author had just graduated from university.
He was only 24 years old now.
The internet was also filled with crazy scolding.
How much he had liked her back then was how much he hated her now.
"Shang Shu, it's me." The female secretary knocked on the door again. "I have something to tell you."
Only then did the door open.
Shang Shu's eyes were very red. It was obvious that she had just cried.
She invited the secretary in. When her eyes fell on Ying Zijin, she was shocked. "Yingshen?"
Ying Zijin paused. "You know me?"
"Of course I know you." Shang Shu was happy. "You were so handsome at that time. I prayed for you for a long time. It's great that you're fine."
"Let's go in first." Ying Zijin nodded slightly. "I'm here to discuss the plagiarism with you."
Shang Shu's eyes turned red again at the mention of this. "I really didn't plagiarize. I wrote every word myself."
"Okay, I believe you," Ying Zijin said. "Do you know the author of 'Red Rivers'?"
Shang Shu pursed her lips. "I know her. She … She was my roommate in university."
Hearing this answer, the secretary was a bit surprised. "Your roommate?"
"Okay." Ying Zijin tapped her fingers on the table and frowned. "So, there's only one possibility. Your roommate stole your outline and posted it on the Internet before you."
"But her writing style is far inferior to yours. For this kind of thing, the same plot but different writing styles will bring different feelings to the readers."
"Her book didn't become popular. Later, when she saw that your book became popular, she was afraid that the plagiarism would be exposed, so she locked her book."
So, it was no wonder that First Light Media didn't find out at the beginning.
Shang Shu was stunned and thought about it seriously. "My roommate did know about what I wrote. It's possible … Wait, Yingshen, do you believe that I didn't plagiarize?"
"Yes, I believe you." Ying Zijin's eyelashes drooped. "The question now is, do you have any evidence to prove that she stole your outline?"
'The Long Song of the World' started serializing in 2016.
At first, it wasn't very popular. Later, it slowly became popular and became a big IP.
At first, many companies wanted to buy it, but in the end, Shang Shu chose First Light Media.
She thought that only First Light Media would seriously choose actors and film the whole world in her book.
If they couldn't film it, she would rather not sell the copyright.
Shang Shu thought for a while and smiled bitterly. "No."
She really didn't expect that her roommate would steal her outline and do such a thing.
"No, you did." Ying Zijin tapped her fingers on the table. "You have a blog. You wrote some fragments in it. It was the initial idea of 'The Long Song of the World'."
"But at that time, you were still in high school and your family was strict. Your blog was private and you didn't tell anyone."
Hearing this, Shang Shu was stunned again.
After a long time, she suddenly reacted. "Yes, I have a blog!"
She liked to write since she was young and wrote a lot in her notebook.
After she got a computer in high school, she wrote in her blog, but it was all fragments.
But soon, Shang Shu looked a little lonely. "But it's been too long. I can't even remember the password."
The female secretary was stunned.
Could it be that their boss was a clairvoyant?
"It's a small matter." Ying Zijin asked Shang Shu to write down the username. "The professionals will do it."
She got up. "Have a good rest. You have to attend the press conference tomorrow."
Shang Shu nodded hard. "Yingshen, I believe in you."
Ying Zijin left the apartment and sent a message to Qin Lingyan on WeChat.
[Do me a favor. Recover a section of the surveillance footage and all the data of this blog. Make all the posts in it public.]
After Qin Lingyan received the message, he was about to start working as usual. Then, he realized that something was wrong.
He thought for a while and decided to forward the message to Fu Yunshen.
[Old Fu, your girlfriend asked for your help.]
Fu Yunshen usually sent messages slowly, but this time, it was very fast.
[My girlfriend asked for my help. Why are you so busy? Huh?]
Qin Lingyan was speechless.
F * ck.
As a single man, was it easy for him to help?
When gods fought, mortals suffered.

After everything was settled, Ying Zijin returned to First Light Media and held a meeting with the executives.
The executives were shocked when they found out that she was back.
"PR Department, you can post on Weibo now." Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair. "I will be there for the press conference tomorrow. Call Tong Yufei, Zhan He, and all the people from Tianxing Entertainment to come."
The director of the PR Department nodded immediately. "Yes, boss."
He wiped his sweat and went to prepare.
After a day of silence, the netizens finally heard First Light Media's voice.
But it was completely different from what they had expected.
[First Light Media: We will hold a press conference to resolve everything that has happened in the past two days. We will give Tianxing Entertainment, Zhan He, Tong Yufei, and all the people who have been paying attention to this matter. The CEO will also attend the press conference.]
After that, he didn't say anything else.
[First Light Media is still not closed down. How dare you hold a press conference? The executives of your company violated women, imprisoned designers, and plagiarized scripts. Is there anything you won't do?]
[Ugh, this is even more disgusting than Xing Chen Entertainment.]
[Give up. You can't wash away the plagiarism.]
The netizens continued to give ratings as they scolded.
Soon, the rating of "The Longsong World" fell again, all the way to 5.9.
When they opened the TV ratings software, they saw that all the ratings were one-star.
[Solid evidence. I just want to know why First Light Media is holding a press conference. Do you really have any other evidence to back it up?]
[The entertainment industry should not be a dirty place. It is where every artist realizes their dreams. Everyone, please join me in boycotting First Light Media. Let this disgusting company stop persecuting artists.]
