Chapter 40: Really Clever
With the help of her editor, Peng Xingzhou stumbled out of the editor-in-chief's office, her thoughts in a tangled mess.
In just six or seven days, she was stuck in the quagmire of having to pay nearly 20 million yuan in liquidated damages.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and ask Miss Ye for forgiveness before she leaves!"
As Peng Xingzhou's editor, he has been guiding her through the literary world for three or four years, so naturally he cares about her.
Peng Xingzhou was gently pushed by the editor and seemed to wake up instantly. She glanced at the editor, wanted to say something but stopped, then rushed out the door in a hurry.
When she rushed to the hall, fortunately Ye Wanqing had not gone far.
Ye Wanqing and Xiao Hongzhe were standing in front of the elevator, waiting for it to slowly rise.
Seeing this, Peng Xingzhou hurriedly quickened his pace: "Miss Ye, please wait a moment!"
Ye Wanqing turned her head and looked calmly at the breathless Peng Xingzhou: "Miss Peng, is there anything else?"
"Can I...can we talk?"
Faced with the astronomical compensation, Peng Xingzhou was flustered. She chased out just to seek a little forgiveness, and her words seemed a little stuttering.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "What do you want to talk about, Miss Peng?"
There was a hint of curiosity in her expression, and she seemed quite interested in Peng Xingzhou's request.
Peng Xingzhou caught this glimmer of hope and hurriedly took out his mobile phone: "I will delete all related posts, apologize to you immediately, and about the copyright fee..."
Peng Xingzhou paused here and took a deep breath. The copyright fee for the book was more than 6 million. She split it in half with the company, and she only got more than 3 million. She had used all the money to pay for a new house. Now her pockets were empty.
Peng Xingzhou bit his lip tightly. "I will try my best to return the copyright fee as soon as possible. If we can terminate the contract, do you think it is okay?"
While she was deleting the Weibo post on her phone, she was anxiously observing Ye Wanqing's reaction.
Ye Wanqing looked at her quietly, neither nodding nor shaking her head. Her silence made it difficult to understand what she was thinking.
Peng Xingzhou quickly deleted all comments about "Ms. Ye" on Weibo and began drafting an apology statement.
Just then, the elevator door opened at the right time.
Xiao Hongzhe stepped into the elevator first and blocked the door with his hand to ensure that Ye Wanqing could enter smoothly.
Ye Wanqing said slowly at this time: "Ms. Peng, I thought I had made my position clear before. I am used to solving problems one by one."
Her tone was calm, and she added, "By the way, Miss Peng, you don't have to be so anxious. Your copyright is handled by your company, so the triple compensation should be borne by your company."
After Ye Wanqing finished speaking, she turned and walked into the elevator. Peng Xingzhou had just clicked to send an apology on Weibo, but Ye Wanqing's words made her stand there in a daze. She watched the elevator door slowly close, feeling confused. She wasn't sure whether Ye Wanqing was targeting her personally, or was just following business rules.
Peng Xingzhou's confusion did not last long.
She quickly came to her senses and realized that Ye Wanqing's move might just be to deal with the recent controversy on the Internet.
The recent online controversy...
Peng Xingzhou seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She immediately deleted the apology Weibo she had just sent, found the important phone number, and quickly dialed it.
However, she found that the number could no longer be reached and she was blacklisted by Xu Xinyi.
Realizing this, Peng Xingzhou's body lost strength and she sat dejectedly on the ground at the elevator door.
Although Peng Xingzhou's apology Weibo was deleted after being available for less than half a minute, it was still screenshotted and forwarded by sharp-eyed netizens, which once again sparked a wave of heated discussion on Weibo.
Originally, the controversy about "Ms. Ye"'s plagiarism had not yet reached a clear conclusion, but now Peng Xingzhou's behavior is undoubtedly self-exposure.
In a blink of an eye, those netizens who once supported Peng Xingzhou changed their positions.
The platform server where Peng Xingzhou was located suffered a heavy blow, causing the system to crash, and Peng Xingzhou became the target of public criticism.
Li Meng, who had been closely following the incident, finally felt relieved after witnessing it all. For the first time, she took the initiative to hand her phone to Su Zimo: "Things in Pengxingzhou seem to have taken a turn."
Su Zimo had been paying close attention to the progress of the incident. After hearing what Li Meng said, he didn't even bother to eat. He hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and logged into Weibo to check the situation.
After browsing the trending content, Su Zimo continued his meal with peace of mind.
At the same time, Ye Wanqing and Xiao Hongzhe had just separated after having lunch together.
Ye Wanqing received many messages on her mobile phone, all praising her for "well done".
Ye Wanqing smiled gently, put her phone back into her bag, and looked up to see Qin Huai.
Ye Wanqing didn't have much feelings for Qin Huai, neither hating him nor liking him.
Since her cooperation with Lin Xuan has come to an end, Ye Wanqing no longer wants to have any contact with anyone related to Lin Xuan.
"Evening Star!"
However, Qin Huai didn't think so. After a brief conversation with his friends, he walked towards Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing glanced at him calmly: "Mr. Qin."
"Are you alone? Have you had lunch?"
Qin Huai has a sunny personality and seems unconcerned even when faced with Ye Wanqing's indifference.
"have eaten."
Ye Wanqing walked to the elevator and stopped.
Qin Huai sighed softly: "What a coincidence, I just finished lunch. I heard that your new book will be released soon, so you shouldn't be too busy recently, right?"
Ye Wanqing did not respond, but just looked at him with a smile.
Qin Huai felt a little uneasy under Ye Wanqing's gaze, and subconsciously touched the tip of his nose: "I said before that I would treat you to a meal. Now is the best day, how about I treat you to afternoon tea this afternoon?"
"Young Master Qin."
Ye Wanqing frowned slightly: "Lin Xuan and I broke up peacefully."
"I understand. It's Lin Xuan who doesn't know how to cherish."
"thank you for understanding."
"It's nothing, everyone has seen it. Let's not talk about Lin Xuan. After all, we've known each other for a while. Having afternoon tea together shouldn't be too much, right?"
Ye Wanqing answered directly: "Not very suitable."
She paused for a moment and said, "I understand Mr. Qin's good intentions, but I don't want to have anything to do with Lin Xuan anymore."
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened, Ye Wanqing nodded and walked into the elevator.
Qin Huai did not follow in, but just stood there, watching the elevator door slowly close, and couldn't help but mutter a few more words about Lin Xuan's faults.
"Mr. Qin, what a coincidence."
Qin Huai was in a low mood, and when he turned around and saw Bai Pinghui, he felt even more depressed.
Xu Xinyi’s friends, people like Xu Xinyi.
He replied casually, "Yeah."
Then he waved and turned away.
Bai Pinghui looked at Qin Huai's back and curled her lips in disdain: "I don't know what kind of vision he has. He can be attracted to someone like Ye Wanqing!"
She was standing far away and did not hear the conversation between Qin Huai and Ye Wanqing clearly. She only saw that Qin Huai seemed to be inviting Ye Wanqing.
Bai Pinghui bit her lip jealously, pulled out her phone, and recorded the scene. She quickly shared the video with their small group chat, specifically tagging Xu Xinyi: "Xinyi, look, this Ye Wanqing is such a vixen! After being dumped by Lin Xuan, she started hooking up with Qin Huai!"
Bai Pinghui thought about Qin Huai's indifference to her just now, and felt even more unbalanced. So she took a screenshot of the video and posted it on her Moments, with the caption: "Some people are really good at what they do!"
