When Qiao Ranqing knew that she had been framed for plagiarism, there was already a lot of quarrels on the Internet. Although Baiwen's public relations department temporarily dropped the trending search words, new trending search terms would appear soon, pushing this matter back to everyone's attention. before.

Qiao Ranqing frowned, clicked on the color palette made by netizens, and it was exactly the same!

What went wrong? !

Qiao Ranqing frowned and recalled that she finished the manuscript of this book at home and did not take it outside. The only person at home who could get access to this manuscript was herself. Because she was afraid of falling off in front of Su Wei, she They will deliberately avoid Su Wei, not to mention, every time Su Wei sees her writing a manuscript, he will consciously avoid it.

Qiao Ranqing's eyes narrowed slightly, so it's not her problem here.

Reaching out to pick up the mobile phone at the side, Qiao Ranqing dialed Gu Qiao's number directly. She and Su Wei used social software to communicate with each other before, so Su Wei still doesn't know her phone number, let alone that she is Cao Shui himself.

The phone was dialed out, and after a few rings, it was hung up directly.

In the Baiwen conference room, Gu Qiao glanced at the mobile phone under the table. The name "Ran Ran" flashed on the screen. Gu Qiao pursed his lips and hung up without any hesitation. To the senior leaders sitting in front who are speaking.

"What's going on with this matter?!" The executive slapped the table angrily, and the meeting room was suddenly silent.

"Gu Qiao, who is Cao Shui's current responsible editor?!"

Gu Qiao pushed up her glasses, glanced at Su Wei next to her, and said firstly: "I just took a look at the color palette made by netizens, and it shows that the other party's publication time is August [-]th, although Cao Shui My Weibo was posted in the past two days, but Cao Shui's original manuscript was handed over to us on August [-]th, so it is impossible for Cao Shui to plagiarize!"

Gu Qiao's words were well-founded and resounding. The high-level executives sitting at the top frowned, looked around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "Investigate thoroughly to see which link is wrong!"

Gu Qiao raised her hand and tapped her fingertips on the table lightly. She was silent and her attitude was very obvious. On August [-], the manuscript was no longer in their editorial department. He and Su Wei are definitely not a problem with their editorial department.

Su Wei opened her schedule book, which clearly recorded a series of arrangements after the original manuscript of "No. 88 Anling Street" was handed over to her and Gu Qiao starting from August 88, because it was time to catch up with the National Day The listing time is during the holidays, so every step is arranged very tightly. The first thing Su Wei does every day at work is to confirm whether the process of "No. [-] Anling Street" is going smoothly and whether there are any problems.

On August [-], after the initial review by the responsible editor, the second revision by the author, and the review by the editor-in-chief, it successfully entered the final review stage.

On August [-]th, the manuscript passed the final review, and then entered the proofreading stage, and the manuscript was transferred from the editorial department to the proofreading department.

The manuscript needs to stay in the proofreading department for nearly a week. After the proofreading is correct, the manuscript will return to the editorial department. From August [-]th to now, the manuscript has been in the proofreading department!

Su Wei told the timeline one by one, and the voice fell, and everyone in the conference room looked at Minister Li of the proofreading department and the little girl beside her.

Su Wei's complexion was deep, her eyes fixed on the girl sitting opposite her.

She has short hair around her ears, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her complexion is pale, and she seems a little nervous. Sensing everyone's attention, she quickly lowered her head and flicked through the notebook at hand with her fingers. This person is none other than "An Ling" Yao Lele, the proofreading editor of No. 88 Street.

The phone vibrated again. Gu Qiao looked down and hung up resolutely. Unexpectedly, within a second, the call came in again.

Gu Qiao frowned slightly, turned her head and said softly to the higher-ups above, then got up and left the conference room.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qiao walked quickly to the end of the corridor while answering the phone, carefully looking around.

Qiao Ranqing spoke hastily on the other end of the phone, Gu Qiao's complexion changed drastically, her eyes widened instantly, "What?!"

"you sure?!"

Gu Qiao asked, Qiao Ranqing confirmed it again and again, and hung up the phone. Gu Qiao immediately received several new messages on WeChat. He quickly clicked on it and read it carefully. He walked into the conference room without hesitation, stood beside the high-level executive, and handed the mobile phone in front of him.

The senior executives finished watching, slapped the table angrily, stood up and looked at Minister Li of the proofreading department, "How did your proofreading department do it?!"

Minister Li looked bewildered, and Yao Lele who was sitting next to him was even more at a loss.

Gu Qiao stepped forward, handed the phone to Minister Li, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This is not plagiarism, it's the leak of the manuscript!"

On the screen of the phone was a screenshot sent by Qiao Ranqing. According to the color palette made by netizens, Qiao Ranqing easily found the novel that was being serialized on the Internet. Except for various nouns such as people's names and street names, other content and plot trends are the same as the manuscript of "No. 88 Anling Street"!

Minister Li read it carefully, his face turned pale, the hand holding Gu Qiao's phone trembled slightly, his face was full of shock, and he even became hesitant to speak, "When the manuscript arrives at our proofreading department, it's... Yao Lele is in charge, it's... That's right, Yao Lele."

Yao Lele, who was sitting by the side, lowered her head, and when she heard her name, she stood up tremblingly, holding the pen in her hand tightly with her fingers, facing everyone's eyes and doubts, but avoided answering.

Su Wei didn't care about other things. Seeing that Gu Qiao's complexion was not right, she got up and walked forward. She took Gu Qiao's phone and looked at it. Her complexion suddenly became bad. She hurriedly read all the screenshots, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared. popped up.

Cao Shui is her favorite author. "No. 88 Anling Street" is the book she has been chasing after, and it is the first book she is in charge of after she officially became an editor. To her, this book is of great significance, and Now, Cao Shui has been stigmatized as "plagiarism" because of their mistakes in work. What's worse is that the manuscript leaked, which will definitely have a very bad impact on the sales of the new book after it is released.

Su Wei bit her lip, stood in front of Gu Qiao angrily, looked directly at Director Li and Yao Lele in the proofreading department, and said in an extremely unfriendly tone, with hints of anger, "Minister Li, Yao Lele, the manuscript was leaked in your proofreading department, Don't you guys give me an explanation?! Yao Lele, you are responsible for the proofreading of this book, you should be very clear about what's going on!"

Unexpectedly, Yao Lele continued to lower her head, remained silent, and adopted the principle of not refuting, not speaking, and ignoring her, just like a wooden stake.

Su Wei was in a hurry, and just about to press her further, she stretched out a hand behind her and pulled her behind her. Su Wei raised her head with a puzzled expression on her face. Gu Qiao shook her head at her, and Su Wei had to obediently stand up to Gu Qiao. Behind Qiao, his eyes were still fixed on Yao Lele.

Gu Qiao adjusted her glasses, glanced lightly at Yao Lele, then turned her head to look at the high-level executives, pretending to be suspicious: "I just received a call from Cao Shui, she found out that the manuscript was leaked, she asked us to give her an explanation, If we can't give her an explanation, she will choose to call the police, and I believe the police will give her an explanation."

The executive patted the table, turned to look at the technicians beside him, and said bluntly, "Move the surveillance video from the proofreading department, Li Min's computer, and Yao Lele's computer to the meeting room!"

At the same time, Gu Qiao and Su Wei posted a concise and powerful Weibo after discussing with colleagues from the public relations department.

"Baiwen has already seen the color palette sent by everyone, but our editorial department has already received the manuscript written by Cao Shui on August 8, and the other party published it on August 10. The specific situation , We are still investigating, please stay calm, don't believe in rumors and don't spread rumors."

Below the content of the text, there is also a screenshot of the email that Su Wei and Gu Qiao received Cao Shui's manuscript, and the time on the email is specially drawn with a red line.

As soon as Weibo was released, related words such as #百文反应##曹水不带破# appeared in hot searches, and there was an uproar on the Internet. Cao Shui’s Weibo fell again, but at this time, there were three major factions on Weibo, One faction supports Cao Shui’s lack of plagiarism, another faction insists that Cao Shui plagiarized, and the last faction is the onlookers who do not stand in line or express their views.

Questions poured in. Many netizens suspected that the email screenshots sent by Baiwen were forged and used to deceive netizens after post-production. There is no trace of post-production, in other words, these two pictures are real.

Netizens were puzzled, since Cao Shui finished writing the manuscript first, why did the same text appear on the Internet? !Could it be that this person is the vest of God Cao Shui? !Some people also suggested that Cao Shui's manuscript may have been leaked, so it was stolen and posted on the Internet.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Baiwen still carried out the investigation work in an orderly manner.

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Su Wei tugged at Gu Qiao's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Did you really say you want to call the police?!"

Although she has not been in contact with Cao Shui for a long time, Su Wei feels that Cao Shui is not someone who will easily call the police. Moreover, when she communicates with Cao Shui, Cao Shui has always been very talkative and will listen to her comments on this book. They have opinions on what content to change, how to make it better, they are all open to discussion, and they will not ignore her opinions just because she is a new editor, let alone play big names...

Gu Qiao smiled slightly, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, she smiled without saying a word, Su Wei was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately reacted, eyebrows and eyes curved, and said softly, "A fox pretends to be a tiger."

Gu Qiao raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and knocked on Su Wei's head, and whispered, "Don't tell her."

Su Wei patted his head, nodded, thinking in his heart, Cao Shui looks so weak, if no one takes his place, maybe this matter will be left alone, and the higher-ups will not pay so much attention to it, thinking so So, Su Wei looked up at Gu Qiao, the editor-in-chief Gu seemed quite humane.

Although Su Wei's impression of Gu Qiao changed a little, she still took half a step back slightly, walking away from Gu Qiao without showing any trace, and turned to watch the colleagues in the technical department adjust the monitoring.

Colleagues in the technical department turned on the projector, and everyone sat around to watch the surveillance video after the manuscript was handed over to the proofreading department.

Turn on double speed, but it takes a long time to watch. Su Wei stares at the screen without blinking. very normal...

Su Wei sighed silently, isn't it really Yao Lele's problem?

At this moment, the colleague in the technical department responsible for checking Yao Lele's computer suddenly said, "This computer once sent an email to a mailbox, and the attachment is Cao Shui's manuscript."

Gu Qiao and Su Wei got up together and walked over quickly. Yao Lele didn't have the habit of cleaning up the computer, and the data on it could be recovered easily. Gu Qiao looked down and saw the ironclad evidence. He raised his head, his eyes were cold, "Yao Lele, you What else can I say?!"

Yao Lele has been standing in the corner, silent. Hearing this, he raised his head instantly, his face was pale, his lips were pale, and he was dumbfounded. Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes. Everyone in the room didn't speak.

Su Wei frowned, took out a tissue from the box next to her, stepped forward, handed it to Yao Lele, and said softly: "What's going on, just explain clearly..."

Yao Lele raised her head, glanced at Su Wei, her lips moved, but before she could speak, tears fell down again, I felt sorry for her, Su Wei sighed softly, so I could only quietly accompany her.

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Lele finally stopped. She looked at Su Wei, and then turned her head to look at everyone in the meeting room. She took a few deep breaths and said cowardly with a nasal voice: "It's me It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought the manuscript home, I shouldn't have let my boyfriend see this manuscript..."

Things are simple.

Cao Shui's new book had to be released on the National Day, and a week was too late. In order to catch up with the schedule, Yao Lele violated the company's regulations and brought the manuscript home through a private mailbox, preparing to work overtime at home. Who knows, Yao Lele's The boyfriend saw the manuscript and clamored to read Cao Shui's new book, saying that he was a diehard fan of Cao Shui and had been looking forward to the new book for a long time. Now that he saw the manuscript, he wanted to read it. Yao Lele couldn't stand her boyfriend's plea , let her boyfriend sit next to her, and while working overtime with her, he took this opportunity to read Cao Shui's manuscript.

She never expected that her boyfriend would steal the manuscript and upload it on the Internet under his pseudonym while she was not paying attention.

Yao Lele knew what was going on as soon as she saw the palette. The two pen names on the palette were no strangers to her. One was the author she was responsible for many times, and the other was the pen name of her boyfriend who wrote online novels.

She didn't expect her boyfriend to do such a thing. Didn't he know that her career would be ruined if such a thing happened? !Maybe he knew it, but he still did this kind of thing. He didn't pay attention to her work at all, and didn't care about her at all. That's why she was so sad.

The truth came to light, and Su Wei felt a little uncomfortable. Although she hadn't been in Baiwen for a long time, she had contacted Yao Lele several times because of work. Yao Lele was usually unknown, worked diligently, took her work seriously, and was extremely responsible. Yao Lele would not have made such a mistake if it hadn't been for rushing this time. However, a mistake is a mistake. Everyone is an adult and needs to be responsible for their actions.

Now that the matter has been clarified, the Baiwen Public Relations Department immediately issued an announcement, explaining everything clearly, and all kinds of evidence were also placed in front of everyone, making people have to believe it, and the netizens had nothing to say when they saw the evidence up.By the way, Baiwen sent a lawyer's letter to the person who stole the manuscript. Baiwen will take up legal weapons to defend his rights and the reputation of himself and his authors.

From the release of the color palette in the morning to the announcement at night, Baiwen acted very quickly. In one day, the public opinion on the Internet went from one-sided ridicule and questioning to one-sided support and apology at the end. Cao Shui's plagiarism incident was successfully resolved. up.

Fortunately, Yao Lele's boyfriend didn't upload all the manuscripts at once, but updated regularly every day, so he only uploaded [-] words so far. Fortunately, netizens found out that this book is being published based on Cao Shui's two original Weibo posts. serialized novels.

Thirty thousand words only accounted for one-fifteenth of the whole book. Su Wei slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
