Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

These entries act like a memory switch.

Lin Yunsong recalled some details related to it.

As early as the day of registration, as soon as Lu Baizhou stepped into the dormitory and saw Yu Zhi, he mentioned the Nanxing Cup and said that he and Yu Zhi were going to play a game together.

Lu Baizhou's follower Luo Haoran once called Yu Zhi a plagiarist.

It’s just that the atmosphere in the dormitory was too tense at that time.

As soon as Lu Baizhou came in, he was full of malice towards Yu Zhi. Lin Yunsong didn't listen to what he said at all and ignored it as nonsense.

It turned out that there were clues to everything from the very beginning, but he just didn't notice it.

Lin Yunsong clicked on the first entry and started browsing.

What happened was that two years ago, in the Nanxing Cup finals, Lu Baizhou and Yu Zhi were drawn to submit identical works.

The final judging order is determined by drawing lots.

There were ten contestants in the finals, Lu Baizhou ranked ninth and Yu Zhi ranked tenth.

The two of them were just one in front and one behind.

After the finalists submit their works, they will be sealed before the final judging.

At that time, Lu Baizhou's work received unanimous praise from the judges.

As soon as Yu Zhi's work was displayed, the entire competition venue fell silent.

——The content of this work is exactly the same as Lu Baizhou’s.

Moreover, Yu Zhi's painting was much more sloppy.

People in the industry can tell at first glance that it was rushed out and no details had time to be perfected.

Things suddenly became delicate.

In the end, Yu Zhi was disqualified from the competition, and Lu Baizhou won the national gold medal of the Nanxing Cup that year. He was admitted to the Peking University Academy of Fine Arts in his second year of high school.

Lin Yunsong also clicked on the comparison picture to take a look.

He also studied fine arts, and these two works are exactly the same in terms of content and brushstrokes.

Plagiarism is a foregone conclusion.

As for who copied whom, Lin Yunsong had doubts in his mind.

These comments online believe that Yu Zhi plagiarized, and the point they seized on was nothing more than the order of judging, with Lu Baizhou in first and Yu Zhi in second.

However, the order of judging does not represent the order of creation.

Lin Yunsong also signed up for the Nanxing Cup.

However, his abilities were limited, and he only won city-level awards, failing to advance to the national level.

The national finals require contestants to create on the spot, and the competition lasts for three days.

On the first day, contestants will draw lots to select themes.

After the draw, the contestants will create in the studio arranged by the competition organizer and submit their works within 24 hours.

The third day is the centralized selection.

Lin Yunsong heard from classmates whose studios had participated in the finals that the studios arranged by the competition organizers were all independent.

Each studio has two keys, one for the contestant to keep, and one for the competition organization to keep.

Leave the studio and lock the door yourself.

During the creation period, in principle, there is no restriction on communication between contestants.

But everyone is a competitor, and they are all focused on creating for the competition. If they meet during the competition, they will just say hello at most and won’t chat much.

It sounds like there's no chance of personal creativity being leaked.

——It is impossible for me to show my paintings to others on my own initiative. The studio is locked and others cannot come in even if they want to see them.

Lin Yunsong felt that since it was not a closed military management, there was still a high possibility of human manipulation if someone really wanted to.

After reading the message, Lin Yunsong put down his phone.

"I'm done reading."

"If the basis for concluding that you plagiarized Lu Baizhou is simply the order of the evaluations, that's far from convincing."

Lin Yunsong looked at Yu Zhi and said seriously, "Yu Zhi, although we haven't known each other for long, I'm a person who trusts my intuition very much."

"I make friends based on first impressions. When I saw you on the day I arrived, I felt like we were right for each other and wanted to be friends."

"On the contrary, I didn't like Lu Baizhou at first sight. I thought he was sinister and cunning. Facts have proved that I was right."

"Secondly, you went through this plagiarism scandal and didn't give up on painting. You even got first place in both the joint entrance exam and academic subjects and were admitted to Peking University. This is enough to prove that you are a person of ability and tenacity."

"What is plagiarism? To put it bluntly, it's stealing someone else's talent and claiming it as your own. Talented people won't be thieves, and those who have evil intentions are mediocre."

"So, to sum it up, Yu Zhi, I trust you both emotionally and logically. I don't think someone as talented as you would plagiarize."

Lin Yunsong spoke sincerely.

This sincerity can be conveyed to Yu Zhi's heart without reservation.

Regarding the Nanxing Cup, Yu Zhi has experienced countless accusations and doubts.

It could be a classmate, a teacher, or a stranger you have never met through the Internet.

They wish they could put themselves on the pillar of shame and be cursed by their peers for the rest of their lives.

The only thing he experienced was trust, which was Yu Zhi's first time.

When he asked Lin Yunsong to search for the term, he actually had no expectations at all.

Although Lin Yunsong was the first friend he made at Peking University, and was a righteous man with a good personality, they had only known each other for a limited time and their friendship was shallow.

Before the Nanxing Cup incident, he and Lu Baizhou had known each other for twelve years.

But so what?

The deeper the love, the more it will catch you off guard when it turns into a sharp blade and stabs you.

Lu Baizhou's backstab surprised Yu Zhi.

Similarly, Lin Yunsong's trust also surprised Yu Zhi.

I'm just flattered.

After a long while, Yu Zhi took a deep breath and looked up at Lin Yunsong.

He said to Lin Yunsong seriously: "Yunsong, thank you for believing in me."

"You're the first person who believed in me in such a long time."

Lin Yunsong smiled and said, "I am the first, but I won't be the last."

Yu Zhi also laughed when he heard this.

Lin Yunsong got back to the point: "Then you can tell me what happened now."

Yu Zhi said "hmm" and began to explain the whole story to Lin Yunsong.

Two years ago.

A five-star hotel in Shanghai.

This year's Nanxing Cup was held in this hotel.

The competition organizers booked the hotel's largest banquet hall as the venue.

Among the ten finalists, only Yu Zhi and Lu Baizhou are locals. They have a good relationship and do everything together.

The two checked in at the front desk, put their luggage in the room, and went to the draw location notified by the competition organizer.

Lu Baizhou asked Yu Zhi with great interest: "Yu Zhi, what theme do you think we will draw?"

Yu Zhi stayed up late last night to finish his manuscript and got up after only two hours of sleep.

As soon as I sat down, my eyelids started drooping.

Yu Zhi leaned back in his chair, feeling completely drowsy.

He replied listlessly, "I don't know. Whatever the subject is, as long as I get a good ranking in the end, that's all that matters."

Yu Zhi half-closed his eyes and didn't notice that after he said this, the smile on Lu Baizhou's face froze for a few seconds.

Afterwards, Yu Zhi heard Lu Baizhou say, "Look at how confident you are, as if the gold medal belongs to you."

Yu Zhi vaguely felt that Lu Baizhou's tone was a little strange, but he was too sleepy to think about it.

Without waiting for Yu Zhi's answer, Lu Baizhou caught a glimpse of someone he knew among the contestants and stood up to greet them.

Yu Zhi swallowed his words, put on his hood, and curled up in his seat to catch up on his sleep.

the other side.

Lu Baizhou greeted the acquaintances from Beijing North.

An acquaintance noticed Yu Zhi not far away and asked Lu Baizhou, "Zhou Zhou, who is that person? Good fellow, he's too relaxed to sleep at the lottery site."

Lu Baizhou smiled, but there was no smile on his face.

"He is Yu Zhi, my good friend."
