Capítulo 1997: 1996 Plagiarism

Wen Jin stayed home to calm down for quite a while.

It wasn’t until Aunt Chen asked him what he wanted for dinner that he told her not to make dinner for him. He took his car keys and went out.

After abandoning Jing Xiaocha halfway in the afternoon and getting scolded by Ranran, Wen Jin decided to invite Jing Xiaocha for dinner in the evening and apologize.

To avoid being nagged by Ranran again.

However, when his car drove to Jing Xiaocha’s apartment, he saw Jing Xiaocha coming out with Jin Zheyu.

Originally intending to park, Wen Jin sneered coldly and gave up the thought of parking.

He stepped on the gas pedal and the car shot away like an arrow.

Jing Xiaocha escorted Jin Zheyu out, and in a glance, she noticed that the speeding car’s license plate looked somewhat familiar.

Before she could see clearly, the car had already disappeared from her sight.

“Xiaocha, how about going for dinner?”

At the entrance of the apartment, Jin Zheyu stopped and asked Jing Xiaocha beside him.

Jing Xiaocha was looking off into the distance, not sure what she was looking at, and he blinked a few times, looking at her in confusion.

Retracting her gaze, Jing Xiaocha declined softly, “No, I have to rush to meet my manuscript deadline later.”

She didn’t come down specifically to see Jin Zheyu off, but to take out the trash. Jin Zheyu talked with her for a long time, and finally said that if he couldn’t be her boyfriend, he wanted to be her best friend forever.

“Alright then, don’t work too hard. Don’t stay up too late tonight.”

Jin Zheyu didn’t insist and gave her a gentle reminder before driving off.

Jing Xiaocha had been rushing her manuscript at home for several days straight. Apart from going to school twice, taking out the trash, and eating, she hadn’t done anything else.

She didn’t pay attention to the gossip that arose the day after Bai Xiaoxiao’s wedding, not wanting such matters to affect her creative inspiration.

During this time, she received a call from Wen Ran.

Wen Ran asked if Wen Jin had called to apologize to her, and Jing Xiaocha bitterly smiled inside, but said that Wen Jin had indeed called her.

That day’s incident was her fault, not Wen Jin’s…

In reality, she hadn’t received any calls from Wen Jin these days.

He surely didn’t want to deal with her.

Jing Xiaocha didn’t find it strange, just as she herself deliberately distanced after learning that Jin Zheyu liked her.

Wen Jin, knowing that she liked him, how could he not avoid her?

With her agreement with Li Minxu for half a month, Jing Xiaocha finished rushing her manuscript five days early, completing it in just ten days.

That morning, Jing Xiaocha got up early to make herself a hearty breakfast.

Planning to submit her manuscript after breakfast.

At ten in the morning, she met with Li Minxu at the agreed coffee shop.

However, the result was unexpected for Jing Xiaocha. After Li Minxu briefly browsed through her manuscript, he didn’t show a pleased smile, instead, he frowned and looked troubled.

Jing Xiaocha was slightly surprised, “What’s the matter, Editor Li?”

She didn’t understand what the issue was.

Ten days ago, Li Minxu had urged her to submit the remainder of her manuscript within half a month. Now that she completed it early, it seemed like there was yet another problem.

Li Minxu lifted his head from the manuscript, looked at Jing Xiaocha sitting opposite him, and sighed, “Xiaocha, does this manuscript need another revision?”

“One more revision, why?”

Jing Xiaocha asked in confusion. This was not her first collaboration with Li Minxu, and such a situation had never occurred before.

Li Minxu adjusted his glasses and said thoughtfully, “Frankly speaking, in the latter part of your story, there are several events that are identical to those in a recently published novel from our publisher.”

“…”

Jing Xiaocha was stunned, looking at Editor Li in disbelief.

Identical events?

These four words could be trivial or significant.

If a novel merely overlaps once, it’s nothing and can be a coincidence, but if several plot points are identical, only expressed differently, it might be deemed plagiarized.

Even the most similar plots can’t be entirely the same.

For every author, their thoughts and creative methods differ, and Li Minxu continued, “The other party is a renowned author writing for years. Xiaocha, be honest with me, did you borrow any ideas from others for these plots?”

“I didn’t.”

Jing Xiaocha’s expression turned serious, the words came out instinctively.

Perhaps her attitude was too stern, as Li Minxu’s expression darkened a bit, “But how come many of your plot points coincide with theirs? Besides, you’re a student who hasn’t graduated yet. If you wrote a youth campus story, I’d believe your expertise, but this is a workplace drama…”

The implication from Li Minxu’s words was clear: How could Jing Xiaocha, a student yet to graduate, write such intricate office drama?

And write it so systematically that it felt like living through it.

Jing Xiaocha’s emotions grew agitated, “Editor Li, I haven’t formally graduated, but that doesn’t mean I lack workplace experience. I’ve worked various jobs since my teens, witnessing all kinds of scheming.”

And besides, haven’t I seen pigs walking if I haven’t eaten pork?

Perhaps seeing her anger, Li Minxu’s tone softened a little.

But his words still angered Jing Xiaocha, “It doesn’t matter what you say now, others wrote and published it before you, so once your novel releases, it’ll be accused of plagiarism.”

“I didn’t plagiarize, an upright person does not fear a crooked shadow.”

Jing Xiaocha was furious.

Every creator would be angry at such an accusation. For Jing Xiaocha, each story she wrote was like her own child.

How could she tolerate others saying her children resemble others, plagiarizing them…

“Xiaocha, calm down. The priority now is to address this part of the manuscript, even if I believe you didn’t plagiarize, readers may not.”

“Has the novel you mentioned been published yet?”

Jing Xiaocha took a deep breath to calm herself.

Li Minxu said, “If the other party published later than you, why would I be worried? They have already started selling, you can buy a copy to read…”

He told Jing Xiaocha the novel’s title, and she jotted it down.

Li Minxu sighed, “Let’s not discuss the aftermath yet, go back and read it first, then contact me.”

Jing Xiaocha nodded silently, feeling a bit stifled inside.

She bid farewell to Li Minxu and left the coffee shop.

Li Minxu picked up his coffee, watching Jing Xiaocha’s figure as she left, a strange glimmer behind his glasses.

He murmured to himself, “Jing Xiaocha, you decided to offend someone you can’t afford to…”

The phone rang, and after glancing at the caller ID, Li Minxu answered politely, “Hello, Miss Jin!”

“How is it going, all settled?”

An icy voice came from the other end of the line.

Editor Li quickly flattered, “I wouldn’t dare make any mistakes with Miss Jin’s instructions.”
