Chapter 1995 Plagiarism

Wen Jin calmed down at home for a long time.

Until Aunt Chen asked him what he wanted for dinner, he told Aunt Chen not to cook his dinner and took the car keys out of the door.

After leaving Jing Xiaocha in the middle of the afternoon and being scolded by Ran Ran, Wen Jin decided to treat Jing Xiaocha to a meal in the evening and apologize by the way.

Don't bother talking about him anymore.

However, when his car drove outside Jing Xiaocha's apartment, he saw Jing Xiaocha and Jin Zheyu coming out of the apartment together.

Wen Jin, who originally planned to park, sneered in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​parking.

As soon as I stepped on the accelerator, the car drove away like an arrow.

Jing Xiaocha saw Jin Zheyu out, only to catch a glimpse of it, and saw that the car's license plate number looked familiar as it passed by quickly.

Before he could see clearly, the car shadow had disappeared from sight.

"Xiaocha, do you want to have dinner?"

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

Jing Xiaocha was looking in the distance, not knowing what he was looking at. He blinked involuntarily and looked at her doubtfully.

Looking away, Jing Xiaocha flatly refused, "I won't go, I have to catch up on the manuscript later."

She didn't send Jin Zheyu downstairs specifically, but to take out the trash. Jin Zheyu talked with her for a long time, and finally said that he couldn't be her boyfriend, but wanted to be her best friend for life.

"Well, don't work too hard and don't go to bed too late at night."

Jin Zheyu didn't force it, and after giving gentle instructions, he drove away.

Jing Xiaocha had been working on the manuscript at home for several days. Apart from going to school twice, going downstairs to take out the trash and have a meal, he did nothing else.

She didn't read the scandals on the day after Bai Xiaoxiao's wedding, because she didn't want those things to affect her creative inspiration.

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

Wen Ran asked if Wen Jin had called her to apologize. Jing Xiaocha smiled bitterly in her heart, but said on her face that Wen Jin had called her.

What happened that day was her fault, not Wen Jin's fault...

In fact, she had not received any calls from Wen Jin these days.

He definitely didn't want to talk to her.

Jing Xiaocha didn't find it strange, just like she deliberately stayed away after learning that Jin Zheyu liked her.

Wen Jin knew she liked him, so why didn't she avoid him?

Jing Xiaocha was five days ahead of the half-month agreement with Li Minxu, and finished the manuscript in only ten days.

This morning, Jing Xiaocha got up early and made himself a hearty breakfast.

After breakfast, prepare to submit the manuscript.

At ten o'clock in the morning, I met Li Minxu at the appointed coffee shop.

However, the result was beyond Jing Xiaocha's expectation. After Li Minxu roughly browsed the manuscript, his face did not show a happy smile, but a frown and a grimace on his face.

Jing Xiaocha was slightly surprised, "What's wrong, Bian Li?"

She didn't understand what was wrong.

Ten days ago, Li Minxu urged her to submit the remaining manuscript within half a month. Now she has completed it ahead of schedule, but the other party seems to have other questions.

Li Minxu raised his head from the manuscript, looked at Jing Xiaocha sitting opposite, and sighed, "Xiaocha, do you want to revise this manuscript again?"

"Change it again, why?"

Jing Xiaocha asked doubtfully. This was not the first time she had cooperated with him, Li Minxu. There had never been such a situation before.

Li Minxu raised his hand to push the glasses on his face, and said thoughtfully, "To tell you the truth, there are several plots in the second half of your plot that are the same as the plot of a novel just published by our publishing house. "

"..."

Jing Xiaocha opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at Editor Li in disbelief.

Same plot?

These four words can be big or small.

If it is just a simple coincidence in the novel, it is nothing. It can be said to be a coincidence. However, if several plots are the same but are expressed in different ways, it is likely to be considered plagiarism.

No matter how similar the plots are, they cannot be completely the same.

Each author has different thinking and creative methods. Li Minxu's voice continued, "The other person is a well-known writer who has been writing for several years. Xiaocha, tell me honestly, you didn't borrow these plots from others. Bar?"

"I don't."

Jing Xiaocha's expression straightened and he blurted out his rebuttal.

Maybe her attitude was too serious, and Li Minxu's face darkened, "But several of your plots are the same as the other party's. Moreover, you are a student who has not really graduated. If you write a youth campus story, , I believe you have experience, but what you wrote is a workplace type..."

The meaning of Li Minxu's words is very obvious. How can Jing Xiaocha, a college student who has not really graduated, write such a workplace intrigue.

It is also written in such a clear and logical manner that it makes people feel like they are actually there.

Jing Xiaocha was a little excited, "Editor Li, I haven't really graduated yet, but that doesn't mean I don't have workplace experience. I've been working since I was a teenager, have done various jobs, and have seen all kinds of intrigues. "

Besides, have you never eaten pork or seen a pig walking?

Maybe because he saw her angry, Li Minxu's attitude softened a little.

Just what he said made Jing Xiaocha angry, "It's useless what you say now. Someone else wrote it before you. Once your novel is published, you will be accused of plagiarism."

"I didn't plagiarize. People are not afraid of slanted shadows."

Jing Xiaocha was also annoyed.

Every creator will be angry if they are wronged like this. For Jing Xiaocha, every story she writes is like her own child.

How could she tolerate others saying that her child looked like someone else and was copied from someone else...

"Xiaocha, calm down. The most important thing now is to deal with the issue of this part of the manuscript. Even if I believe you did not plagiarize, readers may not believe it."

"Has the novel you mentioned been published?"

Jing Xiaocha took a deep breath to calm down.

Li Minxu said, "If the other party published it later than you, I would still be worried about what to do with it. They have already started selling it. You can buy a copy and go back and take a look..."

He told Jing Xiaocha the name of the novel, and Jing Xiaocha wrote down the title.

Li Minxu sighed, "Let's not talk about what happens next. You go back and take a look before contacting me."

Jing Xiaocha nodded silently, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

She said goodbye to Li Minxu and left the cafe.

Li Minxu picked up the coffee in front of him and watched Jing Xiaocha's back walking out of the cafe, a strange light reflected behind his glasses.

Quietly muttering to himself, Jing Xiaocha, you said it's not good to offend anyone, but you have to offend people you can't afford to offend.

When the phone rang, Li Minxu looked at the caller ID, pressed the answer button, and said respectfully, "Hello, Miss Jin!"

"How's it going? Is everything done?"

On the other end of the phone, a woman's cold and arrogant voice came.

Editor Li flattered her and said, "I don't dare to make any mistakes in what Miss Jin told me."
