Be a real Phoenix man

Editor-in-Chief He organized the materials very well, with detailed content and a large amount of data. Sitting in the office, Fang Yibai looked through the materials carefully, and he couldn't help but feel that this online writing contest was very fruitful.Not only has Qingluan's stigma been washed away, but Qingluan's popularity has also been restored to the top. At the same time, the publishing house has ushered in another round of profit peaks.

The only regret is that there were two flaws in this three-month online competition.One is that some contestants have unruly intentions and use the excuse of plagiarism to frame and slander Qingluan, and the other is that the reporter lost control at the award ceremony.

These two things almost formed a fatal blow to Qing Luan.

In fact, Deng Yujiao is right about one thing, that is, relying on his protection alone, he can only passively guard against people, but he cannot take the initiative to grasp all resources and information, and then rely on the resources in his hands to give those who are restless. The perpetrator exerts heavy pressure to prevent danger in the bud.

From before to now, he was indeed too passive.And now that he has the wind brought by the online writing competition, he can actually face the wind and gather some resources that should be collected in his hands.

Fang Yibai thought of this, looked at the time, and then made a call.

It is now 05:30 in the afternoon, and there is still half an hour before the end of get off work. He is making an appointment for dinner at this time. If he is lucky, it is not too late.

He has something he wants to talk to Jiang Cheng, the president of Ruoshui.com.

Fortunately, the other party didn't have an appointment at night, so they agreed to come out and get together.

Fang Yibai asked Assistant Yang to book a hotel, prepared the documents and put on his coat before going out.But at this moment, there was another pause in the action.

He picked up the mobile phone on the table, thought for a while, and quickly edited a text message, his eyes softened.

"Qingluan, I have something to do in the evening, so I won't go back to eat. I called Aunt Chen to come over and cook dinner for you. She will leave after cooking and will not hinder you. Don't open the door to anyone except her. "

After sending the text message, he was relieved to leave the door.

The meeting with Jiang Cheng was arranged in a secluded hotel near the Economic and Trade International.In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, soothing music played softly. Fang Yibai simply ordered two small dishes and waited quietly for Jiang Cheng's arrival.

He and Jiang Cheng have formed a cooperative relationship in recent years. In the past, the two parties mostly had contact and cooperation in physical publishing, but now, Fang Yibai wants to develop this relationship in depth.

Deng Yujiao used his occupation of the film and television agent resources as a bargaining chip in the negotiation, so in turn, why can't they enter the film and television industry themselves, so as to occupy the film and television resources?

Originally, the commercial publishing industry has been weak in today's era. If it wants to continue to take the lead, it must transform itself and turn to the new economy, new media and new media.

Ruoshui.com has tens of thousands of excellent online literature resources, and Hualin has considerable capital competitiveness and unparalleled advantages in publicity and channels in this industry. The two should be able to cooperate deeply. If you produce works, I will produce them. capital, thereby monopolizing IP and occupying the upper reaches of the film and television market.

If successful, they will completely seize all the initiative.Qingluan will no longer be threatened by any so-called small brokerage companies or entertainment companies.

Jiang Cheng arrived 15 minutes later, and the two sat down as guests and hosts. After drinking half of the wine, Fang Yibai showed the materials in his hand to the other party.

In addition to the speech report made by He Chengyun this afternoon, there is another piece of information that is the most important: it is a feasibility analysis report on the cooperation between the two companies to establish Huaruo New Media Co., Ltd.

This report was prepared by him a week ago, before the online competition was over, and after the awards ceremony, he added a lot of detailed data and materials.This is a fairly substantial report.

Jiang Cheng read it for half an hour. He flipped through the report several times before putting it down gently.

"Yi Bai, I didn't expect you to have such an idea." Jiang Cheng raised his glass, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and said, "Actually, I had this idea as early as when we cooperated in the online essay contest."

"It's just that things were rushed at the time, and I didn't have time to prepare for this step. I didn't expect you to take the lead." He smiled, and his eyes showed appreciation: "This report is well written, but I have to go back and study some data carefully. Research and study, give me a week, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in this week."

Fang Yibai smiled nonchalantly, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Jiang Cheng himself, and raised his glass to each other: "With your words, I have a solid foundation in my heart."

Because of this incident, the two chatted more intensely. After Jiang Cheng had a few glasses of wine, he couldn't help but lead the conversation to Ye Qingluan: "Yi Bai, there is actually something I wanted to ask you a long time ago." Raising his eyebrows, he smiled meaningfully: "You and Qingluan in the sky, have you known each other for a long time?"

"On the day of the award ceremony, I saw that the two of you seemed to be very familiar. When he was besieged by reporters, you seemed to be in a hurry."

Fang Yibai was not surprised that the other party would ask such a question. In fact, even if Jiang Cheng didn't mention it, he would bring the topic to Qing Luan.

So the smile on his face did not change, he raised his glass to signal with Jiang Cheng, and drank with his neck up.

"To be honest, it was the first time I officially met with Qingluan on the day of the awards ceremony. I just met through articles before." Fang Yibai smiled, "You know, I started to pay attention to online literature a long time ago Son, at that time, I read Qingluan's novel in the sky, so I became his reader."

"So, it is not an exaggeration to say that we have known each other for a long time."

Jiang Cheng laughed out loud, and even said a few words "So that's how it is".After laughing, he thought about it and said, "Indeed."

"Qingluan in the sky is indeed an author who became popular earlier, and his writing style has the magnificent atmosphere of the author at that time, but it is a pity that he suffered setbacks and fell silent for a long time." Jiang Cheng said with a little sigh.

Fang Yibai raised his eyebrows.He grasped this opportunity keenly, and asked inadvertently: "But Mr. Jiang, do you know why Qingluan in the sky suffered setbacks? Did he really plagiarize back then?"

"From my point of view, Tianshang Qingluan doesn't look like that kind of person. This online essay contest has also proved to all readers that Tianshang Qingluan can reach that level without plagiarism. So, don't you think , Is there something else hidden about what happened back then?"

Fang Yibai thought for a long time after the online essay contest, and finally decided to take this opportunity to ask Jiang Cheng this question to try it out.

That incident back then would be an unsolved case for anyone.Regardless of who the author of the "plagiarized person" is, as far as the two articles are concerned, one of Qingluan's articles was published a week later than the other's, and the other's words and sentences to the outline of the plot are all the same. There is an indisputable similarity with the other party, so Qingluan back then was beyond debate.

Fang Yibai also read the "plagiarized" article over and over again, and investigated the plagiarized person. It was a pseudonym that was very unfamiliar in the Internet literature world, called "Sword Pointing to the Blue Sky". For a while, but the strange thing is that after finishing this book, he closed his pen and disappeared since then.

Fang Yi couldn't get any clues from Jian Zhi Qing Tian, ​​so Fang Yi was thinking about it, and the problem could only come from Qing Luan.

Qingluan must have leaked the content of his article in advance, so he was informed by Jianzhi Qingtian.But if this is the case, Qingluan himself definitely has no reason to do so, even if he did, he would not be unaware.

After ruling out this guess, there is only one loophole left, which is Ruoshui.com—all Qingluan’s works are released through Ruoshui.com. If there is a problem with Qingluan, it can only be Ruoshui.com’s problem .

He suspected that the internal staff of Ruoshui.com leaked the writer's manuscripts privately.

This is what he came up with by accident when he visited Ruoshui's website in the online essay competition.

At that time, he saw that the editor Zizhan seemed to have a lot of authority. He could read the data of each author's article from the background, and there would be something called a manuscript box under the author's article, which reserved a certain chapter in advance. issuing time.

He didn't see the editor Zizhan check these manuscript boxes, but if the other party has this permission, then...

Thinking of this, Fang Yibai's spine shuddered even more. He unconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng with sharp eyes.

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. He raised the corner of his mouth to laugh, but he became embarrassed when the smile reached his mouth. He could only put away his expression, frowning and replied: "Should I tell you something hidden? I can't think of anything else. Hidden secrets..."

In fact, as the president of a literary website, he has seen a lot of plagiarism among writers, and he doesn't take it seriously at all.

"However," he felt Fang Yibai's eyes chasing after him. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "After hearing what you said, I also think that Qingluan in the sky should not be a person who plagiarizes. Perhaps, there are really There may be no hidden secrets."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw another meaning in Fang Yibai's eyes, and suddenly came to his senses.Because he didn't lose face, he endured it, and asked a little displeasedly: "Fang always feels that it is because we, Ruoshuiwang, didn't handle that incident well, that made Qingluan in the sky wronged?"

There was a bit of aggression in his question, coupled with the alcohol, the atmosphere of the two talking and laughing just now disappeared.

Jiang Cheng has always been proud of the fairness and justice that Ruoshui.com treats authors, and he cannot tolerate doubts from others.

Taking advantage of his experience and seniority, he put down his wine glass with a "snap", feeling suddenly oppressed.

But Fang Yibai didn't mean to show weakness.

He didn't want to implicate Jiang Cheng for his mistakes, nor did he want to flatter him out of face. He smiled slightly and put down his glass: "I have a few questions for Mr. Jiang."

"Does the editor Zizhan of your site have the authority to check the manuscript boxes of all authors? Is he the only one who has such great authority? Also, has the editor Zizhan ever heard of an author named Jianzhiqingtian? They What is the relationship between the two?"

Jiang Cheng was a little impatient at this point, he waved his hand and said: "Of course the editor has the right to check the author's manuscript, isn't this the same as the editor of your publishing house has the right to review the author's first draft! If we don't Looking at their archived manuscripts, what if they write something that the country severely cracks down on and publish it, huh?"

Having said this, he suddenly realized, stopped talking abruptly, turned his eyes to Fang Yibai, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You suspect that Zizhan leaked Qingluan's manuscript in the sky privately ?”

He stood up and knocked on the table: "I tell you, this is absolutely impossible!"
