Chapter 433
Ying looked up and reached out his hand, “Let me see.”
The female secretary immediately handed over her phone.
On it was another Weibo post, posted 10 minutes ago.
But because all the heat of First Light Media was high this day, this Weibo was already in the top 5 hot searches.
#designer, charm, self-exposed identity
[@ZhanHoV: Hello everyone, you may not know me, but you should hear my name as a designer, “Phantom”.
First Light Media used my family to threaten me to design four outfits for them, that is, Zhuque, Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu, the four sets of the original International Costume Design Competition.
It was time for me to stand up for myself, I didn’t want to be coerced by First Light Media anymore.
In fact, these should be the five dresses, the other one I didn’t hand over, this dress is called Yellow Qi, I use it to prove my identity.]
There is a picture brought below that is
There is this legend in China.
Green Dragon in the East, White Tiger in the West, Vermilion Bird in the South and Xuanwu in the North.
In the Han Dynasty, the Qilin was added to the list, so there was also such a saying as the Yellow Q in the middle.
So both the Four Divine Beasts and the Five Divine Beasts are correct.
Zhan He’s certified as a victim of the First Light Media incident.
Ying Zigui’s style is not good to imitate.
Skybound Entertainment borrowed several designers from Time Media’s side before they could barely design such a set.
However, when combined with the four sets designed by Ying Zidian, there is really nothing out of place.
Netizens will take a look at it and decide that it is the same set.
Even Shang Yaozhi and Xie Manyu didn’t know that Ying Zidian was the designer’s charm.
The female secretary was the only one who knew.
The female secretary took two more calls, and when she finished, she asked, “Boss, both Emperor Shang and Queen Xie came to ask if they wanted to send out a Weibo post to explain.”
Ying yawned, “Tell them they don’t have to, or else they’ll be pulled down soon and it’ll be more trouble.”
She found that as long as things didn’t happen to her, the average person couldn’t learn the lesson.
Did she really think she had only made a logo for her design?
All those patterns were, in fact, various signs.
This matter, on the contrary, is best resolved.
“We don’t need to issue a statement yet either.” Ying Ziyi faintly, “Go over to the company’s apartment building first, and we’ll collect the evidence.”
Issuing a statement now would only make public opinion bigger and do more harm than good.
The female secretary nodded, “Understood, boss.”
**
Ten minutes later, the two came and brought them to the door of the Long Song World scriptwriter’s flat.
The female secretary knocked on the door.
There was a shriek from inside, and the sound of something falling over.
“She should be freaking out.” The female secretary sighed, “Still very young and hasn’t experienced this kind of thing.”
The Long Song of the World was a big hit in 2018, and the author had just graduated from university at the time.
It was now just 24 years old.
The internet is now a frenzy of cursing as well.
How much they loved it then, how much they loathed it now.
“Shang Shu, it’s me.” The female secretary knocked on the door again, “There’s something for you.”
Only then was the door opened.
Shang Shu’s eyes were red, obviously having just cried.
She invited the female secretary in, and when her eyes fell on Ying Zidian, she was startled: “Ying Shen?”
Ying Zidian looked startled: “You know me?”
“Of course I know you.” Shang Shu was happy now, “You were really handsome, and I prayed to you for a long time, it’s really good that you’re alright.”
“Go in first.” Ying Zigui nodded slightly, “I came to see you to discuss that matter of plagiarism.”
At the mention of this, Shang Shu’s eyes reddened again, “I really didn’t plagiarise, I wrote every single word myself.”
“Well, I believe you.” Ying Ziji said, “Do you know the author of Red Dressing Mountains and Rivers?”
Shang Shu pursed her lips, “I do, she …… she is my college roommate.”
Hearing this answer, the female secretary was also a little surprised: “Your roommate?”
“Good.” Ying Ziji’s fingers tapped on the table, her eyebrows sunken, “So there is only one possibility, this roommate of yours, stole the outline of your novel and posted it on the internet before you.”
“But her writing is nowhere near as good as yours, and with something like a novel, the same plot, with different writing power, brings different feelings to the reader.”
“Her book didn’t catch fire, and then when she saw that yours did, she was afraid that the plagiarism would come to light, and that’s when she locked her book up.”
So it wasn’t surprising that First Light Media hadn’t checked it out at first.
Shang Shu froze and thought about it again very seriously, “My roommates do all know about my writing a novel, so it’s indeed a possibility …… Wait, Ying Shen, you believe that I didn’t plagiarize?”
“Yes, I believe it.” Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped, “The question now is, do you have any proof that she stole your outline?”
The novel, The Long Song World, started serialisation in 2016.
It wasn’t very popular at first, before it slowly caught fire and became a big ip.
Many companies wanted to buy it at first, but in the end, Shang Shu chose First Light Media.
She thought that only First Light Media would carefully cast the characters and film the entire world in her novel.
If the film could not be filmed, she would rather not sell the rights.
Shang Shu thought for a while and let out a bitter laugh, “No.”
She really didn’t expect that her roommate would even steal her novel’s outline and do such a thing.
“No, you did.” Ying’s finger tapped on the table, “You had a blog where you wrote some snippets of the initial idea for The Long Song World.”
“But back then it was still high school and the family was strict, so this blog of yours was private and no one told you about it.”
Hearing this, Shang Shu once again froze
It was a long time before she snapped to attention, “Yes, I do have a blog!”
She had loved writing novels since she was a child, and had written quite a lot in her books.
After she had a computer in high school, she wrote in her blog, only it was all fragments.
But immediately, Shang Shu looked a little more despondent, “But it’s been so long that I can’t even remember the pa*sword.”
The female secretary was stunned.
Their boss, he couldn’t be a miracle worker, could he?
“It’s a small matter.” Ying Ziji asked Shang Shu to write down the username, “A professional will do it.”
She got up, “Get some rest, you have to attend the press conference tomorrow.”
Shang Shu nodded vigorously, “Ying Shen, I trust you.”
Ying Ziji left the flat and knocked Qin Lingyan on WeChat.
[Do me a favour, restore a surveillance video, and all the data of this blog, all the blog posts in it, you make them all public.]
After Qin Lingyan received the message, he was about to start working as usual, and then he noticed something was wrong.
After thinking about it, he decided to forward this message to Fu Yunshen.
[Old Fu, your girlfriend asked for your help.
Fu Yunshen was always slow to reply to messages, but this time it was quick.
My girlfriend asked me to help out, how come she’s busy with you? What?
Qin Lingyan: “……”
f*ck.
Was it easy for him as a single dog plus an a*sistant?
When the gods fight, mortals suffer.
**
After everything was settled, Ying Ziji returned to Primeval Light Media and held a senior management meeting.
The senior management only found out that she had returned and were shocked for a while.
“PR department, you can send out Weibo now.” Ying Ziyi leaned back in her chair, “I’ll be there for the press conference tomorrow, and I’ll call Tong Yufei, Zhan He and Tian Xing Entertainment, all of them.”
The PR director immediately nodded, “Yes boss.”
He wiped his sweat and went down to prepare.
After a day of silence, the netizens finally squatted to the sound of First Light Media’s voice.
But it was completely different from what they thought.
[@chuguangmediav: In response to the events of the past two days, we will hold a press conference to settle everything and give an explanation to @Tian Xing Entertainmentv, @Zhan Hov, @Tong Yu Feiv, and the general public who are concerned about this matter, and the executive himself will attend this press conference,]
The rest, nothing more was said.
The rest of the story is nothing. [First Light Media has not yet closed down, and still has the face to hold a press conference? What else is there that you can’t do?
[Ew, even more disgusting than Star Entertainment.
Give up, the plagiarized drama won’t wash.
The netizens scolded while they went on to score.
Soon, the rating of “Long Song World” dropped again, all the way down to 5.9.
When I opened the drama rating software to take a look, it was a clear one star.
I wondered what First Light Media was doing at the press conference. Is it really possible to come up with any other evidence?
[The entertainment industry shouldn’t be a dirty place, it’s a place where every artist can realize their dreams. Please join me in boycotting First Light Media, let this disgusting company and stop persecuting any artist.
Chapter 434
Public opinion reached a climax at this moment.
Netizens cursed, but they were indeed all waiting for the press conference the next day.
In fact, some of the people who scolded were water soldiers sent by Skywalk Entertainment to bring up the tempo.
There were still quite a few fans who were silent and did not speak.
Chen Li had also seen the statement from First Light Media and only found it unbelievable: “Mr. Luo is crazy, right? To actually say that the CEO of First Light Media a*saulted a female celebrity?”
Since Ye Xi had been banned, Chen Li had also lost her job, and no entertainment company dared to hire her.
The two of them were crammed into a very small flat and ate three simple meals a day.
Apart from having a house, they were no different from homeless people.
Chen Li had been with Skywalk Entertainment for a long time, so she naturally knew that it was Skywalk Entertainment’s style for Tong Yufei to behave like this.
But the chief executive of First Light Media?
Ying Ziji is a woman!
How can you infringe?
“I’ll have to call General Luo and ask.” Chen Li took out her phone, whose screen was already half broken, “Isn’t he joking?”
First Light Media was holding this press conference, just waiting for Skybound Entertainment to jump in.
But before Chen Li could dial this number, it was slapped away by Ye Xi.
The phone rolled around on the floor and went out completely.
Chen Li was furious: “Ye Xi, what are you doing? Don’t forget, I’m still paying the rent for this month.”
“You’re giving it to Luo Wenbin? What are you going to say?” Ye Xi sneered, “You’re going to say that Ying Zigui is the one who is the CEO of Out First Light Media, are you stupid?”
She slammed the beer bottle on the ground, “Don’t forget, it’s Skybound Entertainment that doesn’t care about us and has left you without a job, why are you so kind and now you’re going to help them instead? Can’t you just watch them attack each other?”
When Skybound Entertainment didn’t care about her in the first place, don’t expect her to remind Skybound Entertainment this time.
Better yet, Skybound Entertainment and First Light Media would both lose and be all but finished.
Chen Li was stunned by what she said.
But after careful thought, she felt that it was also true.
She wasn’t even an employee of Skybound Entertainment anymore, so what was she worrying about her boss and the company’s future?
Chen Li pursed her lips, picked her phone up and sat down on the sofa again, her gaze dull.
**
Fu Yunshen was very efficient, completing the two tasks in five minutes.
He handed a USB stick to Ying Ziji and rubbed her head.
It’s a mess, like a deliberate punishment.
Ying Zidian’s face was expressionless: “What are you doing?”
“Nothing, I just want to talk to you -” Fu Yunshen went to her side, his lips curved lazily, “Girlfriend, remember to call me next time.”
Ying Ziji looked slightly paused, “I heard Qin Lingyan say that you don’t touch computers.”
She knew that his past was dark.
So if he didn’t mention it, she wouldn’t ask.
“Hmm.” Fu Yunshen didn’t deny it either, smiling, his eyes gentle, “But for you it’s okay.”
For you, anything would do.
“That’s fine.” Ying Zidian put the USB stick away and raised an eyebrow, “I’ll look for you for anything in the future.”
“That’s right.” Fu Yunshen picked up the comb and began to brush her hair, smiling lowly, “I’ve decided to remind you every now and then, otherwise you might find someone else next time.”
“Yao Yao, I’m your boyfriend now, you should bother me.”
Ying Ziji allowed him to brush her hair.
After a few seconds she looked at herself in the mirror and for the first time felt that Fu Yunshen’s hair combing skills were poor.
Ying Zidian took the comb out of his hand: “I’ll do it myself.”
Fu Yunshen: “Can I exercise my boyfriend’s right?”
Ying Zidian finished combing her hair and answered with a sniff: “What rights?”
“Yao Yao, you see the bed in the presidential suite is quite big, it’s a bit lonely to sleep alone, shall I hold you?” Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes twitched, his loose tone, “Don’t worry, without your permission, I won’t do anything else.”
Ying moved, looked up, looked over, and after a few seconds, still gave him half the bed, “Hug it.”
After a pause, she added, “You wouldn’t dare do anything anyway, if you dare, I’ll break your legs.”
“……”

The press conference was held at 2pm on June 23 at the headquarters of First Light Media.
The media were rushing to get there.
Naturally, Luo Wenbin had to go too.
“General Luo.” The secretary followed, a little uneasy, “First Light Media is holding a press conference so soon, there’s not really any evidence, is there?”
Luo Wenbin pondered for a moment and shook his head, “No, we’re coming on strong, they’re not even prepared, they’ve already been caught off guard.”
“It’s only been less than two days, where’s the evidence?”
He was about to take down First Light Media, he had waited five years for this opportunity.
The secretary pointed to the most central seat in the first row, “Mr. Luo, your seat is here.”
Luo Wenbin snorted lightly, “It seems that Primeval Light Media is planning to break the pot.”
Putting him in this position, was he still afraid that he wouldn’t be embarra*sed enough?
When the time came for a real confrontation, he would even lose face for Primeval Media.
Luo Wenbin sat down and looked around.
Then he found that the seat to his right was Tong Yu Fei, and to his left was Zhan He.
It was indeed three victims.
It didn’t take long for Zhan He and Tong Yu Fei to arrive as well.
Zhan He was in her forties, but well maintained, with almost no wrinkles on her face.
She saw Luo Wenbin but pretended not to know him and sat down as well.
Although Zhan He was a designer, Huang Qi did not actually design this gown, she just claimed the name.
Luo Wenbin had also checked for a long time and found that Zhan He’s family conditions and all other aspects matched before putting her forward.
By two o’clock, all the media had arrived.
The live broadcast also officially started.
The person in charge of hosting this press conference was the female secretary.
She stood in the middle of the high platform, holding the microphone: “I’d like to thank you all for coming to our press conference, and just like the statement said, we’ll settle everything.”
“First of all, we have to give Ms Jenho an account first.”
“Ms Jenhoe, you should have something to say.”
A microphone was handed to Jen Ho.
She glanced at Luo Wenbin before speaking coldly, “Yes, I do have an oil painting to say, because I want to tell you that I don’t need an explanation from you, I just need an apology, and you must also compensate me for my losses.”
“If you hadn’t threatened me with my family’s safety, I wouldn’t have designed your dresses at all!”
The female secretary remained calm: “Is Ms. Zhan really that sure that you are the designer charm?”
“If not me, who else?” Zhan Ho’s bottom line was strong, “You do things that you don’t admit?”
“As long as it’s something that First Light Media has done, we’ll definitely admit it.” The female secretary blandly, “But unfortunately, Ms. Zhan, you are not the designer charm.”
“First Light Media has already invited the real Designer Charm to come in, and in a moment Ms. Zhan can confront her.”
“Joke.” Zhan He was all exasperated, “I’m sitting right here, you threatened me with my family to get me to design a dress for you, and now you want to find someone to impersonate me?”
The female secretary wasn’t angry, instead she smiled slightly, “Isn’t it clear to Miss Zhan who is the impostor?”
Zhan He’s expression unconsciously changed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal: “Do as you wish, I’d also like to see who the impostor is.”
[Miserable, Zhan He is too miserable, being forced to design a costume, being forced to identify himself, and now there is another impostor coming.]
[Is this what First Light Media calls evidence? Is this what First Light Media calls evidence?
[If Zhan He is not a designer, why doesn’t First Light Media have Huang Qi’s designs, but she does?
[Let’s see who the impostor is that First Light Media found, which designer would dare to take the credit?
Soon, two staff members brought a pair of tables and chairs and placed them on the high platform.
Then, there was the sound of footsteps, not too slow but not too fast.
The press looked over and raised their camera gear.
It was a girl, wearing white short sleeves and god-coloured jeans.
She was also wearing a hat with the brim pressed down, showing only her chin.
The appearance was not very clear.
The only thing that could be judged was that the girl was young, definitely not more than twenty years old.
[Laughing to death, this was the designer that First Light Media had found? So young? Who would believe it?
[Need we say more? Boycott Hatsumitsu Media!
The girl walked over to the table and sat down.
She took off her hat and then lifted her head.
This time, all the cameras were facing her face with unparalleled clarity.
The extreme face brought too much intimidating beauty, and was magnified by the camera with a strong sense of impact.
[……]
The pop-up screen cleared in a flash, and all the sarcastic remarks disappeared cleanly.
The scene was also quite quiet.
A full thirty seconds pa*sed before a new one popped up.
[F*ck!!! I won God??!!!]
