KEO's latest publication was thrown in front of Song Lan by Ruixue.
On the light blue page was a close-up of Gu Ying's face, and the title above his head was clearly not the title of Fang He's manuscript.
"This... manuscript is not the one I reviewed yesterday." Song Lan flipped through it carefully, and her finger fell on the bold title line on the title page.
It was Ruixue who snorted coldly, lowered her head to bring up her iPad, pushed the iPad in front of Song Lan, and pointed at the article above.
"This article is the headline posted by MC last night."
Song Lan took it and looked at the news headlines published on the MC portal with some disbelief. After reading it carefully, it turned out to be exactly the same as KEO's new headlines.
Song Lan put down Ruixue's iPad, took out her computer from her handbag, and gently slid her fingers on the screen. Suddenly her fingertips paused.
"My saved manuscript is gone?" Song Lan then found the contact information of the leader of the printing team and discovered that the manuscript she sent last night was MC's headline news.
Song Lan was confused for a moment. How could such a problem occur?
It was Ruixue who walked up to her, saw the manuscript she clicked, and sneered.
“I didn’t expect that the dignified president of EKO would plagiarize other people’s manuscripts.”
Song Lan lowered her head and pursed her lips, then quickly sent a message to Lin Jing, explaining the whole story clearly, and then asked her to publish an apology letter on the official website.
"I vomited during the dinner yesterday, and my computer bag was left in your hand." Song Lan thought for a moment and looked at Ruixue.
It was Ruixue who raised her eyebrows and smiled provocatively.
"Even if I'm sitting next to you, so what? Do you want to say that I touched your computer?"
Song Lan bit her lips lightly and looked serious, "It's not impossible. After all, MC has a criminal record."
Ruixue, who was still smiling mockingly, looked at Song Lan and raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, "How dare you say that? But it's not you, Fang Xueqi, and you won't be driven overseas by the president."
It was obvious that Ruixue was protecting Fang Xueqi, and Song Lan had to suspect that it was Ruixue who caused this drama of guarding and stealing.
"Are you trying to avenge Fang Xueqi? That's why you started this farce?" Song Lan looked at her without any emotion.
There was a flash of panic in Ruixue's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, and the mockery on her face became stronger.
"President Song, don't change the subject here. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I can completely replace MC and ask for compensation from you."
It was so obvious that Ruixue had deliberately set a trap. Song Lan rubbed his brows tiredly.
"It's the editor-in-chief. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can just do it to me. Why take it out on KEO?"
It was Ruixue, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at her with her arms folded, her eyes filled with pride.
Song Lan packed her handbag and planned to leave MC first. She didn't want to meet the MC president here.
"Song Lan, you are now a mute eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express your sufferings. Even if He Chaozhi is behind you to support you, once this matter is finalized, you and KEO will become stinky rats in the industry."
It was Ruixue sitting at the corner of the table, her long legs folded together, looking very relaxed.
Song Lan turned his head and looked at her, "What do you want to do to let KEO go?"
Ruixue half-cupped her chin and smiled charmingly at her, "If you are willing to consider giving up Young Master He, maybe I will let KEO go."
Unexpectedly, Ruixue's target was actually He Chaozhi. Song Lan was also stunned for a moment. She frowned, and her calm heart surged.
"The drunkard doesn't care about the wine, it's Ruixue. I didn't expect you to be more arrogant than Fang Xueqi." Song Lan looked at Ruixue with disgust.
It was Ruixue who didn't seem to care about her disgust at all, but instead laughed even more wildly, "Who is He Chaozhi? I'm afraid there isn't a woman in the entire Night City who doesn't want to get close to him!"
It's because Ruixue is a beauty addict, and He Chaozhi happens to be very good-looking, powerful, and because of Fang Xueqi's relationship.
The man who spied on Song Lan wanted to avenge his friend Fang Xueqi. Ruixue had every reason to take revenge on Song Lan.
"Madman!" Song Lan's temples were twitching. She shot a knife in the eye, cursed in a low voice, and turned around to leave.
As soon as Song Lan left MC, He Chaozhi became aggressive and rushed downstairs of MC. Song Lan looked at him and then at the bodyguard behind him.
"Lan Lan, are you injured anywhere? Lin Jing saw you being tied into the car, and she was so scared that I immediately asked someone to look for you, and MC came."
He Chaozhi rushed over, hugged her, quickly let go, and looked at her nervously.
Song Lan briefly recounted what had just happened, and suddenly showed a joking smile.
"Young Master He is indeed famous for his beauty. Everywhere you go, there are flowers and butterflies flocking towards you."
He Chaoyi received Lin Jing's call for help early in the morning and was so frightened that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
"It's Ruixue, right? Don't worry, I'll make sure she doesn't get any good results!"
Song Lan went up to hold his arm and patted his shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay. I'll go back to KEO now. Fang He should have saved the manuscript."
Take Fang He's archived manuscript, publish it online, and then explain the whole story clearly on the official website.
At present, this method may not be particularly good, but at least it can be used!
"Lan Lan, I'll take you to KEO." After all, He Chaozhi was worried about Song Lan going alone.
The group of people rushed to KEO in a hurry. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Lin Jing leading a group of people, looking nervously at the door.
"President, are you okay?" Lin Jing saw Song Lan and rushed over in panic.
Song Lan shook his head, briefly explained what happened in the morning, and ordered Fang He to go to the office.
"President, this is the interview recording, as well as my transcript." Fang He put the recorder and computer on the table.
Song Lan clenched his fist and lightly punched his forehead, then glanced at He Chaozhi who was sitting on the small sofa.
"Fang He, please put the recording and manuscript on the official website, and then publish the matter concisely."
KEO does not have sufficient evidence, so it can only try to use public opinion to break through this dilemma.
As for the compensation proposed by Ruixue, she didn't care. She still had He Chaozhi behind her.
KEO was on its feet all morning, and everyone was extremely busy. Only He Chaozhi was leisurely drinking tea in Song Lan's office.
"Try it?" He Chaozhi handed a cup of tea to Song Lan.
Song Lan drank from his hand and her face became calmer, "Currently KEO and MC are tied, and public opinion is impartial."
Fortunately, at least public opinion did not turn towards MC, which is much better than expected.
He Chaozhi hugged her waist and said, "I have asked the public relations department to conduct emergency public relations on this matter, and have notified the MC president."
Song Lan was nervous. After he recovered, he tilted his head and leaned on He Chaozhi's shoulder, and let out a heavy breath.
"I didn't expect that Ruixue would make us all crazy."
He Chaozhi took the palm of his hand and gently rubbed her temples. After hearing the words, he said "hmm" and the movements of his hands became softer.
