Li Jiawei's eyes swept over these screenshots one by one, and her face became increasingly gloomy. It must be said that the contents of these five script photos and the four computer screenshots, even if they cannot be asserted to be completely consistent, are at least 98% similar, which is almost equivalent to being exactly the same.

"But the contents of your scripts are basically the same. What's going on? Was your script leaked without your knowledge?" Li Jiawei asked with a frown.

Xie Xu said hurriedly: "Mr. Li, this is indeed my mistake. Deng Yong is my ex-wife's current husband. He is also a writer. He has written two well-known scripts in recent years, but they are both modern dramas. He is not good at writing scripts like Xianxia.

Before my ex-wife and I divorced, I wrote the outline of this script on my desktop computer. Later, when my ex-wife and I divorced, I left the house with nothing, and I didn't have time to delete the content on the computer. I guess he saw what I wrote when he was using that computer. "

Li Jiawei listened to Xie Xu's explanation and rubbed her brows in annoyance. She said helplessly, "If you really want to sue, what evidence do you have to prove that you wrote the original script?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, Li Jiawei only heard five words, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry."

To be honest, what Li Jiawei hates to hear the most is the three words "I'm sorry". But things have already come to this, and she can only sigh heavily.

If this plagiarism scandal was confirmed, all the hard work she had put in during this period would be wasted. She would become a laughing stock in the capital circle. After all, she spent 300 million yuan to create a big project, but ended up shooting a plagiarized drama. She couldn't imagine the consequences.

Li Jiawei thought about it for a long time before asking, "Besides the outline of the script, how much of the script did you write on that computer?"

Xie Xu quickly replied: "I have written one third of the script."

Hearing this answer, Li Jiawei felt heavy-hearted. She kept scanning the four computer screenshots, carefully examining the dates displayed on them. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and was stunned for a moment, then asked, "When did you and your wife divorce?"

Xie Xu was slightly startled, and after a brief pause, he immediately replied: "My ex-wife and I got the divorce certificate at the end of February last year."

After hearing what Xie Xu said, Li Jiawei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and said: "Teacher Xie, if we want to suppress the scandal of "plagiarism" of the fairy tale script, we may need to reveal some of your personal privacy. Do you mind?"

Xie Xu knew clearly that it was his carelessness that brought this disaster upon the company. Not to mention the invasion of personal privacy, he was willing to expose himself to the public, because it was his fault that brought trouble to the company.

So, Xie Xu said without hesitation: "Mr. Li, no matter what measures the company takes, I will fully cooperate!"

Hearing Xie Xu's sincere statement, Li Jiawei showed a relieved smile on her face and said softly: "Okay, thank you for your understanding. I will contact Ella now, and you can cooperate with her to shoot some videos, is that okay?"

Xie Xu replied without hesitation: "Mr. Li, I will follow your arrangements completely."

After finishing the call with Xie Xu, Li Jiawei immediately called Ella. In fact, Ella had long known about the uproar on the Internet. At this moment, she was organizing people to take measures to suppress the heat, while also racking her brains to find a way to effectively counterattack Deng Yong.

Just when Ella had just come up with an idea, a call from Li Jiawei appeared on her phone screen. She quickly picked up the phone and said with a guilty tone, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. This is because of my negligence at work."

She was the producer of the project, and such a serious plagiarism scandal broke out on the day the project started. From any angle, Ella felt that she had an unshirkable responsibility. She also knew that it was meaningless to shirk responsibility and make excuses now, so she chose to apologize directly and frankly.

Li Jiawei's voice came from the receiver: "I accept your apology. Now I want to ask, have you found a way to fight back?"

Ella quickly replied: "Mr. Li, I just found a clue. This Deng Yong seems to be the current husband of Mr. Xie's ex-wife."

Hearing Ella say this, Li Jiawei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, and said: "It seems that our focus coincides. Look carefully at the time displayed on these computer screenshots. At that time point, Mr. Xie and his ex-wife had not divorced yet, and the two were still in a legal marital relationship, so..."

Ella understood what he meant, and then said, "So, what we should do now is not to rush to prove ourselves, but to sue Deng Yong for plagiarism and false accusation!"

Li Jiawei nodded in approval and arranged in an orderly manner: "I have already communicated with Teacher Xie. You go to him now and shoot a video of Teacher Xie describing the relationship between his ex-wife and Deng Yong. Then upload and publish the video using the company's official account and the account specially registered for the Xianxia project at the same time.

Then, together with the legal department, we filed a lawsuit against Deng Yong. At the same time, we reported the script leak to the police and launched a comprehensive investigation of the entire filming crew to find out who leaked the script. After all, everyone signed a confidentiality contract when they joined the project, and leaking the script is illegal.

After hearing Li Jiawei's arrangement, Ella said, "Mr. Li, I'll do it now."

After Li Jiawei hung up the phone, she handed Qin Wen's phone back to her, then leaned back in her chair again and continued to rest. She knew that if things went well, the reversal of public opinion would have to wait until at least the evening. Judging from the current situation, she might have to stay up late again today.

Qin Wen reached out to take the phone, her face full of annoyance and helplessness, and she couldn't help but look at Li Jiawei. In terms of work ability, she usually thought she was better than Ella, but this sudden and difficult incident was like a heavy hammer, severely hitting her self-confidence.
