Yuncheng had been experiencing heavy snowfall for several days, but miraculously the weather cleared up on the day of Pei Ye's full moon celebration.

The full moon celebration was held at the most luxurious hotel in Yuncheng, and Xie Zhaoyuan couldn't even count all the guests. However, she didn't need to count them; she only needed to carry Pei Ye around collecting red envelopes, and Pei Xingzhi and Xie Jiangshan would handle the rest of the social interactions.

Because the weather forecast predicted snow for the night, the banquet was scheduled for noon. The group had a lively time for most of the day, and it was almost dark when they left.

Pei Xingzhi and Ye Ci had both drunk alcohol, and the driver was arranged by the Xie family.

Ye Ci was leaning against the car window, dozing off with her eyes closed, when her phone, which was in her coat pocket, suddenly rang.

He took out his phone to answer a call, and before he even hung up, he was fully awake.

"Okay, I understand. Mr. Pei is right next to me, I'll tell him right away."

"What are you saying?" Xie Zhaoyuan asked curiously, holding Pei Xingzhi's hand.

"Hoo..." Ye Ci let out a deep breath, turned around from the passenger seat and looked at Pei Xingzhi, saying, "Brother Pei, Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi have made their move."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi slowly opened his eyes, which were moistened by drunkenness.

He straightened up, lifted his head off Xie Zhaoyuan's shoulder, and took out his glasses and put them on.

"What happened?" He reached out and pulled Xie Zhaoyuan into his arms, his fingers habitually kneading Xie Zhaoyuan's cheeks.

Xie Zhaoyuan's face had a little bit of baby fat, which disappeared after giving birth, but her face became even softer and more tender to touch. Sometimes, Pei Xingzhi would touch her and couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite.

Ye Ci: "Ten minutes ago, the advertising department of Qin Group posted a video on Douyin. The main storyline of the 'law of love' plagiarized an advertising idea that their department had designed a long time ago."

"That video probably had its traffic bought; it went viral and became a trending topic just minutes after it was released."

"...Here we go again?" Xie Zhaoyuan was speechless for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "Could this stupid idea have come from Lu Yibai?"

“It really was Lu Yibai who came up with this idea!” Ye Ci said with certainty. “He and Qin Sisi colluded, one was responsible for coming up with the idea and the other for carrying it out. In less than three days, they managed to create this plagiarism scandal.”

"Less than three days?" Xie Zhaoyuan keenly caught something in his words, and her eyes suddenly darkened. "How do you know so much?"

“Because—” Ye Ci glanced at Pei Xingzhi’s face, and swallowed back the words he was about to say. “Because I’m not sure either. Sister-in-law, you should ask Brother Pei secretly later.”

"Hmm?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked up at Pei Xingzhi, her eyes questioning, "What's going on?"

Pei Xingzhi kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear, "There are strangers in the car. I'll tell you when we get home."

“…Okay.” Although she was really itching to ask, Xie Zhaoyuan wisely stopped asking.

She took out her phone from her bag, first opened WeChat to watch the video of Xiangxiang that Xie Jiangshan had sent her, and then opened Douyin to watch the plagiarism incident that Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi had caused.

This matter has been pushed to third place on the trending topics list, with its popularity value just exceeding 20 million.

Xie Zhaoyuan opened the comment section of the trending topic, but unexpectedly, she didn't see many comments insulting Pei Xingzhi or discussing the laws of love.

The netizens in the comments section were very rational. They were not immediately led by the nose by the video from the Qin Group, but calmly left messages asking for a complete and solid chain of evidence.

[Is it the Qin Group that's accused of plagiarism? That's not very credible. Let's see concrete evidence first.]

[For such a large company, how can they only post a few blurry screenshots to prove plagiarism? That's incredibly unprofessional.]

[Hahaha, our "Love Laws" hasn't even launched yet and we've already been accused of plagiarism. Can't you business people at least respect the intelligence of netizens?]

[Is the "Law of Love" plagiarized? Or is it plagiarized from the Qin Group's advertising concept? Qin Sisi, do you dare to speak up on the main account?]

[The closed beta test of the "Laws of Love" isn't even over yet, and the Qin Group has already sniffed out the air and is stirring up trouble. I mean, are you Qin family members treating our Dahua like the Japanese?]

There are too many rational netizens, and the plagiarism controversy hasn't had much of an impact. It's just generated a lot of buzz.

Xie Zhaoyuan put away her phone and scoffed, "Two idiots, they don't even bother to change their tricks when they're messing with people."

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly: "It's better not to change tactics. I just dug the pit, and they jumped in on their own, which saved me a lot of effort."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "The netizens on Douyin are relatively rational. So far, I haven't seen many people speaking up for the Qin Group. But believe it or not, it won't be long before a group of very clear-headed niche users appear online to help the Qin Group set the tone."

Pei Xingzhi looked down at her and said, "Of course I believe you."

Xie Zhaoyuan's guess was not wrong at all. As soon as their car arrived at the Xie family home, the online trolls who spoke up for the Qin Group forcefully stormed into the trending comments section.

Xie Zhaoyuan glanced at it briefly and found that the brainwashing rhetoric of those online trolls was pretty much as she had expected.

[Is Pei Xingzhi plagiarizing again? The issue of Pei Group plagiarizing Weilan Studio hasn't even been resolved yet, and now this scandal has surfaced again.]

[Fun fact: Pei Xingzhi is a repeat offender. Before the Pei Group went bankrupt, he was exposed for plagiarizing other people's designs.]

[Let's keep things separate. The "love formula" was copied, and that's that. What does it have to do with Qin Sisi? Let's focus on the issue, not the person.]

[President Pei, long time no see! Where have you been plagiarizing again?]

What I'm saying is, if you can't make a game, don't force it. How much success can you expect from a game that even copies other people's advertising ideas?

"Pei Xingzhi, has Zhuyuan Technology registered a Douyin account?" Xie Zhaoyuan asked Pei Xingzhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, in the bathroom.

"Snapped!"

Pei Xingzhi turned off the bathroom light and walked towards Xie Zhaoyuan while drying his hair with a towel.

"Not yet. The studio is short-staffed. I plan to hire a separate account manager, and then open an official account once I've done that."

"That's a pity." Xie Zhaoyuan held her tablet and pouted. "If Zhuyuan Technology had an official account, it could have used the trending topics to fight back right now."

“No rush.” Pei Xingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and took the tablet from Xie Zhaoyuan’s arms. “I was planning to remain silent for two days before responding to this matter. Even if Zhuyuan Technology has an official account, there won’t be any movement now.”

"Didn't A-Yuan want to know why Ye Ci and I knew so much about the plagiarism scandal? I'll tell you now."

"Okay!" Xie Zhaoyuan immediately perked up. "Go on."
