The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478: 437 A Heavy Blow, Tianyu Cooling Down [2 Updates]

"Although the writing of ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’ is not as good as ’Song of the World’, it was indeed published earlier than ’Song of the World’."

"Still don’t understand? Shu Se copied it because the story plot and character design of ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’ were good, right? These days, original works can’t outshine plagiarized ones."

Shu Se is the pen name Shang Shu used when she wrote ’Song of the World’, serialized on EndPoint Novel Network.

Shang Shu has always been a homebody, reserved in nature, and does not like social activities.

Besides her author column on EndPoint Novel Network, she had not opened a Weibo account or any other social media accounts.

So, after the plagiarism scandal broke, the comment section for ’Song of the World’ was full of negative reviews.

As a result, the overall rating of ’Song of the World’ plummeted, dropping out of the top ten in the overall rankings.

Even the original fans of the novel couldn’t say much.

After all, the timeline was laid out clear and complete.

Luo Wenbin sneered.

He really wanted to see what Chuguang Media could come up with.

Even if Chuguang Media could find a top hacker to recover the surveillance videos, they surely couldn’t reverse the timeline of the two novels, could they?

Ying Zijin was still sitting in the chair, yawning lazily.

Her beautiful phoenix eyes were misty, veiled as if in a drizzle of gentle rain.

After being busy for two days, she was starting to think about what she wanted to eat that evening.

"Since the author of ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’ hasn’t opened a Weibo account, we contacted her privately and have invited her here," the female secretary took a step back, "Miss Qian Ying, please come forward, we owe you an explanation."

Ying Zijin propped her head up, and suddenly glanced over at the media buzzing with excitement, and said, "Don’t film me."

The suddenly awakened media: "..."

They silently turned their cameras toward Qian Ying.

The viewers watching the live broadcast also went: "..."

Qian Ying is the author of ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’, and also Shang Shu’s roommate.

Now, she works as an office employee in a small company, earning a basic salary of three thousand yuan a month.

She is not tall, just one meter fifty, with a pair of thick, heavy black-framed glasses on her face.

At first, Qian Ying was a bit reluctant to come forward.

It wasn’t until Luo Wenbin gave her an encouraging look that she clenched her teeth and quickly walked up.

Shang Shu sat below, and when she saw Qian Ying, she clenched her fists.

Since graduating college two years ago, she hadn’t exchanged a word with Qian Ying.

She truly never expected that Qian Ying would steal her novel outline and publish it ahead of her.

If her blog hadn’t been recovered, she would have never been able to clear her name from the accusation of plagiarism.

"Miss Qian Ying, hello," the female secretary spoke courteously, "We’re very pleased to have invited you here today."

Qian Ying, experiencing such a grand occasion for the first time, saw quite a few cameras filming her from below.

Caught off guard, she was both excited and nervous; her face flushed, "No, it’s nothing." _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"Miss Qian Ying, our company did not see your work before purchasing ’Song of the World’," the female secretary handed her the microphone, "

"No one blames you," Qian Ying stuttered, "Because I felt that what I wrote wasn’t good, so I locked my novel."

Endpoint Novel Network does have this feature.

Authors can lock their novels.

After locking their novels, readers cannot see the content.

Because ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’ had no fame at all, there weren’t even pirated copies online.

It was quite a coincidence that Luo Wenbin discovered ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’.

It was because a relative of Qian Ying worked at Skywalk Entertainment.

He overheard this relative mention that ’Song of the World’ was almost exactly like the ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’ that his niece had written, during a random inspection of the company’s grassroots level.

"How coincidental that Miss Qian Ying and Miss Shang Shu came from the same university," the female secretary said with a meaningful smile, "and were roommates at that. What a wonderful fate."

Qian Ying’s complexion changed slightly: "Yes, we were roommates, Shushu is a very kind person, she would often bring us specialties from her hometown."

"[They were roommates?]"

"[I get it now, Shang Shu must have sneaked a look at Qian Ying’s computer in their dorm, a real thief!]"

"[This... beware of fire, beware of theft, beware of roommates.]"

"As with the previous few results you’ve seen, Miss Qian Ying, we intend to give you a chance, too," the female secretary spoke indifferently, "Are you certain that ’Song of the World’ is the plagiarized work, and that your ’Red Makeup River and Mountains’ is the original?"

"CEO Ying, what is the meaning of this?" Luo Wenbin stood up before Qian Ying could speak, his expression mocking, "Don’t tell me you can’t see the timeline."

Ying Zijin put down her cup, without even lifting her head, her voice was detached, "Sit down, this doesn’t concern you right now."
