Actually Me

Their original plan could not be carried out. Because of an unexpected incident, Murong Qiao received a message from Jiang Chi.

It was said that someone on the Internet said that the books she wrote were plagiarized from others.

[Keep an eye on it first. I’ll go back immediately.]

After Murong Qiao sent Jiang Chi a message, she hurriedly raised her hand and hailed a taxi.

At this moment, many people on the Internet had already started to watch the commotion. They watched as the matter fermented and expanded, and they began to cause trouble in the comments section.

[About a certain novelist and the boss of a management company who even published three books in succession…]

A long but fixed prefix was placed at the front of the title. There was even a corner of the trending topic.

As long as one knew how to watch dramas on the Internet, they would know who they were talking about at a glance.

“What happened? The immortal author I love also collapsed overnight???”

Many netizens clicked in with this thought in confusion. Then, they were slapped by the blogger who exposed the news.

“From the first book onwards, all three books have become popular consecutively. She even sold the copyright to earn money. This luck…”

“I found another more reliable answer. [Screenshot] [Screenshot]”

The blogger who exposed the news had a million fans and was considered a main force on the front line. As a result, many people who surfed the Internet would come to his place from time to time to watch the show.

The entire article was not long, but the content was clear. The target was also obvious.

Those with eyes could recognize that this person was talking about Murong Qiao, the author of Fearless, Wulin Universe, and Three Thousand Realms.

There were naturally many people who had seen Fearless and Wulin Universe. Moreover, Xian Yu and An Nuo, who were promoted by these two dramas, had entered the public eye. During that period of time, they were extremely popular.

Therefore, as soon as this article was published, it directly provoked everyone’s nerves.

Especially the screenshot at the end of the article. It compared Murong Qiao’s three books to the other books. Several similar plots made people feel like it had been plagiarized.

“I watched the commotion when others collapsed. Now, it’s my turn to collapse my own house (sad).”

“I don’t think it’s plagiarism. The plot of most novels are similar. In many places, it’s more appropriate to say that it’s a reference, right? Moreover, what can these few paragraphs prove? Why don’t they say that after Moon Goddess became popular, many people copied her!”

“You really don’t have to defend it anymore. If she plagiarized, she just needs to come out and admit it.”

“@Moon Goddess, is it true? [Crying], please come out and clarify. This is definitely not the truth, right!”

“To be honest, after reading these few paragraphs, it really felt like a stitched monster… So it was indeed plagiarized?”

How could there be any persistence in the comments online? As long as there was a direction, everyone would follow the wind.

Seeing the screenshots and comparison evidence, many people started to shout that this was plagiarism.

Moreover, the comments were still refreshing every second. Jiang Chi sat on the chair and stared intently at the tablet screen in his hand for a long time, his brows furrowed tightly.

Soon, marketing accounts followed suit and started to “drink soup” behind the article. They posted specious content one after another, but it was obvious that they were talking about Murong Qiao.

“No wonder all three books were so popular and even filmed into television dramas. This was the crux of the problem.”

“Previously, I felt that she was really good…”

“No, I don’t believe it. Moon Goddess is definitely not the kind of person you’re talking about. I even saw her on the production team previously. She’s clearly not the person you’re talking about!”

“What? She might even know how to act better than actors. She can even plagiarize other people’s work. Can’t she pretend to be gentle and kind? Don’t make us laugh our heads off!”

There were also many agitated netizens.

Some immediately stood up to defend Moon Goddess, and some immediately began to show their aggressiveness. The keyboard warriors who attacked indiscriminately online stirred up trouble everywhere.

The comments section was in chaos.

Amidst the smoke, someone suddenly spoke.

“Shouldn’t we support the original work then? In any case, I won’t give money to plagiarism dogs.”

These words were like an alarm bell that rang in everyone’s hearts. Many people who were immersed in scolding each other finally reacted.

Since it was plagiarism, who was being copied?

Fortunately, very quickly, some enthusiastic netizens opened a separate post to specially sort out the two sides of the plagiarism and found the corresponding author.

“I, who deeply hate plagiarism, hereby organize the victim of plagiarism. I hope that everyone will support the original work if you have the heart. Don’t spend your money on the plagiarist for nothing.”

The other party directly said that he was enthusiastic. Then, he placed the book list on the post, commonly known as “guiding the way” for everyone.

Among them, there was a book called “Flying Cloud” that was especially eye-catching. In the revelations, 70 to 80% of the plagiarism came from this novel.

“I’ll report the results of the reading to everyone. After reading half of it, I express that many of the scenes are exactly the same. It can even be said that they’re copied perfectly. However, “Flying Cloud” is much better than “Fearless”…”

“Really? Then I’ll go take a look too!”

“Supporting the original.”

“I’m unsubscribing from Moon Goddess to look at the original work.”

A large group of people left just like that. The speed at which they moved couldn’t help but make people sigh.

But…

Jiang Chi’s eyes flashed. From exposing plagiarism to drawing out the “original work” and attracting everyone to read “Flying Cloud”, wasn’t this series of actions a little too smooth?

Just as he was about to think deeper, he heard familiar footsteps approaching. When Jiang Chi looked up, he met Murong Qiao’s gaze.

“…This is the current situation.”

After nearly ten minutes, Jiang Chi reported everything to Murong Qiao.

The tablet he was holding just now was also placed in front of Murong Qiao.

“Plagiarism…” Murong Qiao muttered softly.

Her gaze landed on the post. Not only was she not angry, but she even smiled.

It was obvious that they were targeting her.

Jiang Chi stood at the side and saw Murong Qiao’s reaction. At the same time, he heaved an imperceptible sigh of relief.

It was good that the boss wasn’t affected.

He thought to himself that he didn’t believe the rumors on the Internet at all.

Jiang Chi didn’t dare to say that he knew 100% of what kind of person Murong Qiao was, but after being in the company for so long and interacting with the other party for so long, he had never felt that his boss was as the Internet said. “Do you need me to investigate?”

Seeing that Murong Qiao remained silent, Jiang Chi took the initiative to speak.

Murong Qiao replied as she read the comments, “Alright, keep an eye on the forums. Report to me immediately if there’s anything.”

Now that the other party had just started, it was unknown what other methods he had in the future. Murong Qiao was not in a hurry to fight him now.

“Alright, then—” Jiang Chi was about to speak when he saw Murong Qiao’s cell phone ring.

Seeing this, he lowered his voice tactfully and bowed before leaving to not disturb Murong Qiao’s conversation.

The person who called was Director Liu Cheng, and it was obvious that he was anxious.

The anxious first call lasted for ten seconds. Seeing that no one picked up, he ended the call and called again..
