You Zhi hurriedly dialed Ouyang Zhi's mobile phone several times, but no one answered.

"Teacher You, there shouldn't be anything, right?" asked Ivan timidly.

You Zhi lit a cigarette, took two deep breaths, and was silent for a moment, "You guys are busy......

Ivan and Li Jing looked at each other and closed the door, You Zhi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in contemplation. He knew the gravity of the situation, and he also felt a little remorseful. He had read the original draft, and it was very different from the one in the newspaper, and he didn't even know why there was such a big change in the manuscript?

At this moment, Ouyang Zhi's call came back, and he knew that something was wrong when he listened to the tone.

"Teacher You......" only said three words, and Ouyang Zhi broke off. didn't say it, You Zhi also knew the result, if the matter had been settled, Ouyang Zhi, who had always been arrogant, would definitely list a lot of words, and he didn't say it, which just proved You Zhi's judgment.

"What did the other party ask for?" took a deep puff of cigarette and spit it out, You Zhi tried his best to keep his mind clear.

"Teacher You...... Go back, I'll talk to you when I go back. After speaking, Ouyang Zhi hung up the phone.

Waiting is like a knife, and the knife is like cutting meat.

In the workstation area, people can no longer work with peace of mind, and they talk about it quietly. The sound was not loud, but it still reached Yuzhi's ears through the crack in the door.

You Zhi got up and came to the work area, and people stopped talking for a moment. "Do your own thing, unless, you can have a better way......" You Zhi said solemnly.

When Ouyang Zhi came back, he was sweating profusely and was very embarrassed, like a tiger wolf who had lost a battle.

The crowd turned their eyes on him, so that he didn't dare to look up, and went straight to You Zhi's office.

In the office, the smoke was filled, and during this time, You Zhi had smoked several cigarettes in succession.

Ouyang Zhi coughed twice, and walked over with a stiff face, "Teacher You......" is still three words.

Ouyang Zhi didn't dare to look at You Zhi's face shrouded in smoke, he was ready to accept the bombardment and thunder. Unexpectedly, You Zhi didn't get angry, he tried his best to make himself laugh, "What the hell is going on?"

Ouyang Zhi slowly opened his backpack, slowly took out a wad of money from it, and slowly put it on the desk, "Teacher You, I'm sorry......"

"What does this mean? What the hell is going on?" You Zhi asked again, especially in the face of this pile of money, he was even more confused.

"I, I shouldn't take the live ...... without permission" Ouyang Zhi slurred, his voice like a mosquito buzzing.

"What?

"Hmm. You've read the previous draft, and the customer is very satisfied. Ouyang Zhi paused and continued, "Later, the client asked me if I could change this manuscript and find a media to publish it......

"You didn't tell me about it. You Zhi replied coldly.

"Yes, I didn't want to take the job at first. Later, later they said that the main thing was okay, and they would give a pen fee......"

"So, you did it behind my back......"

Ouyang Zhi nodded weakly.

You Zhi stared at Ouyang Zhi for a while, and said, "Just do it, isn't it good?" At least I already know that you can be independent and be able to eat by yourself......

These words were lukewarm, and even a little flattering, the more so, the more empty Ouyang Zhi became.

"Teacher You, I know it's wrong, what should I do now?" Ouyang Zhi said pleadingly.

"What's wrong with you? I don't think there's anything wrong? Aren't you just taking a private job?" said Youzhi, pushing the wad of bills forward, "The money is what you deserve, you don't have to explain too much to me......"

"Teacher You, it's not about money, it's about manuscripts......" The more You Zhi is like this, the more Ouyang Zhi is sitting on pins and needles.

"Ao, what's wrong with the manuscript? I read it, it's very good, the writing is flying, the details are vivid, and it's quite touching......" You Zhi deliberately raised his voice.

"That, that's a ...... I made up," Ouyang Zhi said a few words.

"What?"

"I gave the original draft to a friend at the newspaper, and the friend said that it was obviously a speech script, and it needed to be adjusted, from a different angle, and it was better to make it into a close-up text. So, I added the characters and stories......" Ouyang Zhi glanced at You Zhi and hurriedly lowered his head, "This story and characters I looked up on the Internet, and it was indeed written about their business, so I used it, but I didn't expect it to ......"

"I didn't expect the story and characters to be fake, did you?" You Zhi interrupted him.

Ouyang Zhi nodded.

"Have you checked this matter?" asked You Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi shook his head puzzled, "The information I was looking for was published on a regular website, so there should be no discrepancies, do you still need to verify this?"

"Shouldn't it be? Those are other people's things, if others are wrong, will you also be wrong? You dare to use the materials without your own verification?" Hearing this, You Zhi's face immediately became difficult to see.

"I ......" Ouyang Zhi was dumbfounded.

"Lazy, in the final analysis, it is a ...... caused by lazy words" You Zhi's eyes were like knives, with a compelling cold air. After a moment of silence, he said, "In our business, we rely on our ability to eat." Even, each of you has independent abilities and abilities, and you can find another job. But you can ask, ask yourself, are you up to this level?"

You Zhi's words were intense, and Ouyang Zhi drooped his head, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Teacher You, you must help me......" Ouyang Zhi begged bitterly.

"What did the other party ask?" You Zhi was still cold, like a sculpture.

"They, they want 50,000 yuan in honorary damages, and moreover, they have to publicly clarify the facts and apologize in the media...... If not, they will meet us in court,......" Ouyang Zhi said tremblingly.

Silence, silence for a long time.

"You go out first......" After a long silence, You Zhi waved his hand at Ouyang Zhi and said.

"Teacher You, you must help me......" Ouyang Zhi stood still, and when he saw that You Zhi no longer talked, he retreated to the door.

"......Slow down," You Zhi said suddenly, "Take this away......" As he spoke, You Zhi pushed the wad of bills forward.

"Teacher You, this, I can't ask for this......"

"Take it, this is the fruit of your labor, what's the matter with putting it here?" You Zhi was expressionless.

"I, I really can't ask for ......"

"If you want to take it, you ......will take it" You Zhi said sharply, Ouyang Zhi didn't dare to push back, so he had to pick it up and retreat.

Alone. Contemplation.

You Zhi knows very well, it stands to reason that he can have countless reasons to get rid of responsibility for this matter, and all the consequences are borne by Ouyang Zhi alone. But he didn't want to do that, he didn't want to chill others by punishing one person. Who has not suffered from difficulties when they add fuel to the fire when others are in difficulty, that is not You Zhi's character. Now it seems that Ouyang Zhi's matter is no longer a purely personal matter, but also involves the company. Lawsuits? That's something that can be explained in one or two sentences.

However, he didn't want to stop there, he hoped that Ouyang Zhi could learn a lesson through this incident, everyone needs all kinds of difficulties and tests on the way to growth, and only those who crawl out of the thorns are more resistant.

What to do?

You Zhi fell into deep thought. He suddenly thought that it would be good if Zuo Ya was here, she was a careful person, a person who could come up with ideas in times of crisis, but now, he knew that she was also in a "difficult" period, and he didn't want to add a burden to her.
