It was already 2 PM when I came out of the Enchantress Bar.

Qin Song first hailed a taxi on his phone, and only after getting in the car did he open WeChat to check the group messages.

While she was searching for Meng Lingqian, the three people in the group chatted wildly, exchanging over five hundred messages. Qin Song frantically scrolled through the chat history until her hand ached before finally reaching the end.

But actually, their chat content was very simple: first they cursed Qin Sisi, then they cursed Qin Sisi again, and finally they cursed Qin Sisi again.

Qin Sisi's name appeared no less than a hundred times in their chat.

Qin Song quickly read through the more than 500 messages and then opened Douyin (TikTok).

Two hours later, the video in which she reported Qin Sisi for plagiarism had gone viral and, thanks to the involvement of Duan Jialu, a super internet celebrity, the topic of "Qin Sisi plagiarism" quickly surpassed 20 million views.

Qin Sisi's identity is very sensitive. As soon as the trending topic exploded online, it was immediately reposted to local news accounts in Yuncheng.

Qin Sisi has now replaced Qin Song as the hottest internet celebrity in Yuncheng.

"Buzz-"

"Buzz-"

While Jiang Mian and the others were still chatting in the WeChat group, Qin Song's phone kept vibrating and message notifications kept popping up.

Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, Qin Song joined the group to get involved.

Shanghaojia: Awesome! I'm so damn happy! The trending topic about Qin Sisi's plagiarism has surpassed 25 million views! Qin Sisi is really hot now!

Give me five pounds of sunflower seeds and I can chatter some more (offended version): I spent over ten thousand yuan on Douyin+ for your videos, how could they not be popular?

Jiang Mian (Anti-Japanese War Version): Right now, netizens on Douyin and Xiaodigua are all mocking her, demanding she come out and give an explanation. Several news accounts in Yuncheng have also reported on this matter. She's probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pan right now.

Pei Dahua: Do you think she will come forward to respond to this matter?

Qin Song suddenly sent a message in the group chat.

The other three people all jumped out to respond to her.

Shanghaojia: Oh, Teacher Dahua is back!

Jiang Mian (Anti-Japanese War Version): I don't think she'll respond. Her debut work has already been proven to be plagiarized; she has absolutely no room to respond.

Give me five pounds of sunflower seeds and I can chatter away: With Qin Sisi's despicable character, she absolutely won't stay silent! I bet she'll definitely come out and respond!

Shanghaojia: She's been thoroughly humiliated, why is she still responding? Is she going to say it's all a coincidence?

Give me five pounds of sunflower seeds and I can chatter on: Qin Sisi is a master at playing the victim and acting pitiful. Even when she's in the wrong, she can make herself seem reasonable and then fight you to the death. The plagiarism issue has blown up so much now, she must have known about it long ago. Her silence is definitely just an excuse. Just wait, she'll definitely say something.

Pei Dahua: I agree with you, and I also think Qin Sisi will stand up and respond.

Jiang Mian (Anti-Japanese War Version): If she dares to respond, I'll smash her to a pulp!

Shanghaojia: Hahahaha! The way netizens on Douyin are cursing her is hilarious. I'll take a screenshot and show it to you.

"Hmm?" Qin Song's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask.

—Quickly, I want to see it!

Oishi: Immediately!

Duan Jialu acted quickly; in less than a minute, she posted several screenshots of comments in the group.

Qin Song randomly clicked on a picture—

Never mind me: Are you just playing around with copy and paste, you rascal... that's interesting.

I love to eat but not take: You're finished! You've offended Pei Dahua! Pei Dahua will show you who's the easiest person to mess with in the world! Just you wait! Pei Dahua will keep you waiting!

Mr. Krabs from the Wonderful House: Our Pei Dahua just loves to gossip and do abstract things, she's not really stupid! You can't treat people like this, at least change it a little when you plagiarized it!

Wiping a pig's butt with mustard: Girl, if you can't do design, don't bother. You've been warming up the market for so many days, I thought you were going to do something big, but it turns out you just pooped a huge, stinky mess.

Cool and aloof Xiaomei: You even made your debut work... Shameless... Pah!

Netizens are known for their sharp tongues and never hold back when it comes to insults.

The insults Qin Sisi is receiving now are no less than those Qin Song received a few days ago. As Qin Song scrolls through the comments in the group chat, he feels refreshed and relaxed.

She left the group chat and instead opened Jiang Mian's personal WeChat account, sending her a private message.

—Sister Jiang, let's take action tomorrow.

Jiang Mian replied instantly: Are you sure?

Qin Song: Confirmed. I'll come to your studio at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Jiang Mian: Okay, I'll have someone prepare the things in advance.

Qin Song: OK.

New messages kept appearing in the WeChat group, but Qin Song didn't click to read them anymore.

She turned off her phone, turned to look at the street scene rushing past the window, and her heart suddenly started beating a little fast.

It's here; the day she's meticulously planned has finally arrived...

Song Yihuan was absolutely right when she said it in the WeChat group, because Qin Sisi did indeed respond within a day. However, she responded in the middle of the night, when Qin Song was already asleep and completely unaware of the matter.

She didn't know that Qin Sisi had responded to the plagiarism controversy until she woke up the next day and saw it trending on social media.

While eating breakfast, she clicked into the trending topics and immediately saw Qin Sisi's long post.

The essay was too long, and Qin Song was too lazy to read it all, so he just read a simplified version summarized by a netizen in the comments section.

[I didn't plagiarize. My first design was entirely original. I don't know who Pei Dahua is; she's a third-rate internet celebrity designer, not worthy of my copying. Although my design was created later than Pei Dahua's, it's all a coincidence! I didn't plagiarize; I'm wronged.]

Qin Sisi's response was basically exactly what Qin Song had expected. Qin Song browsed the comments section for a while, making a few sarcastic remarks about Qin Sisi, and then put his phone away to focus on eating breakfast.

"Click——"

The study door closed gently, and Pei Xingzhi came out carrying his laptop bag.

He was leaning on a cane with one hand and carrying a bag with the other, looking a bit flustered.

Qin Song quickly pushed back his chair, stood up, and went forward to help him, but he still avoided him.

"I can do it myself."

After saying that, he walked straight past Qin Song toward the door.

Qin Song watched his retreating figure and asked softly, "Are you going to the studio again today?"

Pei Xingzhi stopped walking for a moment: "Hmm."

Qin Song: "Can we not go today? There's something I want to tell you."

"..." Pei Xingzhi hesitated for two seconds, "Let's talk about it when I get back. The studio is very busy today."

"...Is it absolutely necessary to go?" Qin Song asked stubbornly.

Pei Xingzhi nodded: "We absolutely have to go. We have a VIP visiting the studio today."

"...Alright." Since there were VIPs, Qin Song couldn't insist on keeping them any longer.

"Be careful."

Pei Xingzhi: "Hmm."

Then he left home without looking back.
