Chapter 473: 433 Designer Mei reveals identity 【Update 18】 Chapter 473: 433 Designer Mei reveals identity 【Update 18】 Ying Zijin looked up and stretched out her hand, “Let me see.”

The female secretary immediately handed over her phone.

There was another Weibo post, published 10 minutes ago.

But because Chuguang Media had been very popular that day, this Weibo post had already made it into the top five trending searches.

#DesignerMei, Self-Disclosure of Identity#

[@Zhan He V: Hello everyone, you may not know me, but you should have heard of my name as a designer, “Mei”.

Chuguang Media threatened me with my family and made me design four sets of clothing for them, which are the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, the same four sets from the initial international fashion design competition.

It’s time for me to stand up. I don’t want to be coerced by Chuguang Media anymore.

Actually, there should have been five sets of dresses, but I didn’t hand over the fifth one. This gown is called Unicornia lutea, and I’m using it to prove my identity.]

Beneath it was a picture.

In Hua Country, there’s a legend like this.

The Azure Dragon of The East, the White Tiger of The West, the Vermilion Bird of The South, and the Black Tortoise of The North.

In the Han Dynasty, they added the Kirin, leading to the saying of the central Unicornia lutea.

So the sayings of the four Divine Beasts and the five Divine Beasts are both correct.

Zhan He’s verification is as a victim of the Chuguang Media incident.

It’s not easy to imitate Ying Zijin’s style.

Skywalk Entertainment had to borrow several designers from Era Media to barely come up with such a set.

But when it’s put together with the four sets designed by Ying Zijin, indeed, there’s nothing out of place.

The netizens would recognize at first glance that it’s all one set.

The fact that Ying Zijin is the designer Mei was unknown even to Shang Yaozhi and Xie Manyu.

Only the female secretary knew.

The female secretary took two more calls and then asked, “Boss, Best Actor Shang and Best Actress Xie are asking if they should post a Weibo to explain.”

Ying Zijin yawned, “Tell them there’s no need; otherwise, they’ll be dragged into this soon, and it’ll be more troublesome.”

She found that unless something happens to them personally, people generally can’t take away any lessons from it.

Did they really think she only put a trademark on her design sketches?

Those patterns, in fact, are various kinds of signatures.

This matter, in turn, is the easiest to resolve.

“We don’t need to release a statement yet either,” Ying Zijin said indifferently, “let’s go to the company’s apartment building first, we will talk after we collect the evidence.”

Releasing a statement now would only enlarge the public opinion, which is disadvantageous without benefits.

The secretary nodded, “Understood, Boss.”

**

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the apartment doorway of the screenwriter for “Song of the World”.

The female secretary knocked on the door.

There were sounds of screaming from inside, along with the noise of something falling over.

“She must’ve been scared out of her wits,” the secretary sighed, “She’s so young, and she’s never experienced anything like this.”

“Song of the World” was a massive hit in 2018, and its author had just graduated from university at that time.

Now she’s just 24 years old.

The internet was also in a frenzy of curses.

The more they adored her in the past, the more they loathed her now.

“Shang Shu, it’s me,” the secretary knocked again, “I need to talk to you about something.”

Only then was the door opened.

Shang Shu’s eyes were very red, obviously she had just cried.

She let the secretary in, and when her gaze fell on Ying Zijin, she was startled, “God Ying?”

Ying Zijin paused, “You know me?”

“Of course I know you.” Shang Shu started to cheer up, “You were so cool back then, I prayed for you for a long time, it’s really great that you’re okay.”

“Let’s go inside first,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “I came to talk to you about the plagiarism issue.”

Upon mentioning this, Shang Shu’s eyes reddened again, “I really didn’t plagiarize, every word was written by myself.”

“Mm, I believe you,” Ying Zijin said, “Do you recognize the author of ‘Red Makeup River and Mountains’?”

Shang Shu pursed her lips, “I know her… she was my college roommate.”

Hearing this answer, the secretary was also surprised, “Your roommate?”

“Good,” Ying Zijin tapped her fingers on the table, her eyes and brows stern, “So there’s only one possibility, your roommate stole your novel outline and posted it online ahead of you.”

“But her writing is far inferior to yours. With novels, the same plot can evoke different feelings in readers depending on the writer’s skill.”

“Her book didn’t catch fire, but after she saw yours become successful, she became afraid the plagiarism would come to light, so she locked her own book.”

That’s why Chuguang Media couldn’t find anything in the beginning.

Shang Shu was stunned, then thought seriously for a moment, “My roommates indeed knew I was writing a novel; it’s certainly possible… wait, God Ying, do you believe I didn’t plagiarize?”

“Yes, I believe you,” Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered, “The current problem is, do you have any evidence to prove that she stole your outline?”

The novel “Song of the World” began serialization in 2017.

At first, it wasn’t very popular, but it gradually gained fame and became a major IP.

Many companies wanted to buy it, but in the end, Shang Shu chose Chuguang Media.

She believed that only Chuguang Media would cast the roles with care and truly bring the world of her novel to life.

If they couldn’t bring it to life, she’d rather not sell the adaptation rights.

Shang Shu thought for a while and then gave a bitter smile, “No, I don’t have any.”

She truly hadn’t expected that her roommate would go as far as stealing her novel’s outline.

“No, you do have one,” Ying Zijin tapped her fingers on the table, “You have a blog where you wrote some fragments, which are the early ideas for ‘Song of the World’.”

“But that was back in high school, and your family was strict, so you kept the blog private and didn’t tell anyone.”

Hearing this, Shang Shu was stunned once again

It took her a long time before she suddenly realized, “I do have a blog!”

She had loved writing novels since she was young and had written quite a lot on notebooks.

After getting a computer in high school, she started writing in her blog, though they were only fragments.

However, once more, Shang Shu’s expression sank a bit, “But it’s been too long, I can’t even remember the password.”

The female secretary was dumbfounded.

Their boss, could he be a Divine Calculation?

“It’s a minor issue,” Ying Zijin instructed Shang Shu to write down her username, “Professional people will handle it.”

She stood up, “Rest well. You need to attend a press conference tomorrow.”

Shang Shu nodded vigorously, “God Ying, I trust you.”

After leaving the apartment, Ying Zijin sent a message to Qin Lingyan on WeChat.

[Do me a favor, recover a stretch of surveillance footage, and all the data from this blog, all the posts, make them public.]

Qin Lingyan, upon receiving the message, was about to start working as usual, but then he noticed something odd.

He thought about it, and still decided to forward the message to Fu Yunshen.

[Old Fu, your girlfriend is asking you for a favor.]

Fu Yunshen usually took a while to reply to messages, but this time, he responded quickly.

[My girlfriend asks me for a favor, and how did it become your business? Hm?]

Qin Lingyan: “…”

Fuck.

As a single dog who assists others, is it easy for him?

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

**

After sorting everything out, Ying Zijin returned to Chuguang Media and convened a senior management meeting.

Senior management only then learned she had returned, and they were shocked for quite a while.

“PR department, you can post on Weibo now,” Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair, “We will have a press conference tomorrow, and I’ll be there. Call Tong Yufei, Zhan He, and all of those people from Skywalk Entertainment over.”

The head of the PR department immediately nodded, “Yes, boss.”

He wiped the sweat from his brow and went to prepare.

After being silent for a day, internet users finally got a message from Chuguang Media.

But it was entirely different from what they were expecting.

[@ChuguangMediaV: Regarding the recent events, we will hold a press conference to resolve all issues. We will provide an explanation to @SkywalkEntertainmentV, @ZhanHeV, @TongYufeiV, and to the masses who are concerned about this matter. The Executive Director herself will attend this press conference,]

And that was all they said.

[Chuguang Media hasn’t gone under yet but still has the face to hold a press conference? Sexual harassment by senior staff, imprisoning designers, script plagiarism, what else is there you can’t do?]

[Ew, more disgusting than Starry Entertainment.]

[Give it up, you can’t wash away a plagiarized drama.]

Users continued to criticize while going on to rate.

Soon, the score for “Song of the World” plummeted again, dropping to 5.9.

Looking at the TV drama review app, it was full of one-star ratings.

[With irrefutable evidence, I just want to know what Chuguang Media is going to do at the press conference? Could they really have some other evidence?]

[The entertainment industry shouldn’t be a filthy place; it’s where every artist achieves their dreams. Please join me in boycotting Chuguang Media, and let this disgusting company no longer harm any artist.]
