Chapter 52: The Second Round

"According to our investigation, this time you are the first to fire by Jin Linqi. Tao Yingshuang took a report, found Zhu Ziqing and said.

"Jin Linqi?" Zhu Ziqing asked confirmed.

The plagiarism storm is coming again, how can Zhu Ziqing not know about such a big thing. And this time is different from the last time. Last time, it was just Liu Bingyang's angry words that he said in annoyance, and they were taken by the media and made a topic.

This time, many famous and surnamed writers openly questioned him for plagiarism. The nature is completely different from the last one, and the impact is very different.

As the so-called thousand husbands refer to dying without disease. With so many people with social credibility coming forward, even if there is no evidence, he has to peel off his skin. What's more, the analysis of these people is also well-founded. Age alone is enough to make a big article.

Speaking of age, Zhu Ziqing was also quite remorseful. When he first arrived in this world, he had a plan. In order not to make unnecessary trouble for myself, I tried to carry works suitable for the current age group at the beginning.

Fairy tales, comics, songs, novels...... The successes left him a little carried away. The caution he had had long since forgotten when he first arrived.

When I chose the entry papers, I didn't think about age at all, and my mind was full of how to make a blockbuster. As a result, he did become the number one and took the limelight. But it also left a handle for others. The person who hacked him this time grabbed his age and experience.

Remorse is remorse, Zhu Ziqing is not ready to be arrested. Now that it has happened, remorse is no longer helpful. All he has to do next is how to get through it. And to learn this lesson, we can't get carried away in the future.

Although the enemy is stronger than before, Zhu Ziqing is no longer the little newcomer when he first debuted. After so many days of operation, it has initially established its own network of contacts.

As soon as it came out this time, he didn't know yet. Wei Zhixing had already called him. told Zhu Ziqing what he knew, and discussed how to deal with it. Tao Yingshuang also launched his personal connections at the first time to investigate the ins and outs of the matter.

"Jin Linqi is a well-known writer in the literary world and has won the Gold Award for Best Novel at the Huabiao Awards. He also participated in the Essay Contest. This time it's you who jumped out of the black. ”

"You said he also participated in an essay contest?"

"Yes, this is his fourth time in a tournament. It's just that the results are far worse than yours, and I have never won the first place. The best one barely made it past the fourth round. I think he hacked you out of jealousy. Tao Yingshuang's words were full of mockery.

Zhu Ziqing doesn't think so, he can enter the fourth round of the essay contest, and Jin Linqi's literary attainments can be called one in a million.

competitions, especially if there are six rounds of extra-long tournaments. Sometimes in addition to strength, it takes some luck. He stopped in the fourth round, not necessarily because of his lack of strength, but also because he lacked a little luck.

So he didn't answer Tao Yingshuang's words, but continued to ask: "What kind of person is Jin Linqi? I mean, is he a pure literati who specializes in studying, or is he a person who is good at dancing with long sleeves?"

"He's definitely not a pure literati, he's very good at managing his reputation. For example, in the event of a natural disaster, I always call on everyone to donate or something. I often go to poor areas to conduct research. And every time it's very high-profile, I keep updating my own dynamics on the scarf. I'm afraid that others won't know what he's done. The network is also very extensive, and Wang Yang and Penghu who jumped out of the back are all his friends. ”

"Then there must be someone else behind this matter, and Jin Linqi is just a gun in someone else's hand. Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing thought for a while before saying.

"How do you know?" Tao Yingshuang asked incredulously.

"Jin Linqi also participated in the essay contest, and his ranking was not as good as mine. He jumped out to question me, and no matter how good the reason, he would give the impression of jealousy. As you just said, he is a very sophisticated person. How could such a person not think of this?

Even if he is really jealous of me, he should throw out the doubts under the pretense of others. And not to go into battle shirtless yourself. So I suspect there must be another person behind him, and this person made him have to do this. Zhu Ziqing analyzed.

"What if he gets carried away by jealousy?" Although he felt that his analysis was very reasonable, Tao Yingshuang was still unconvinced.

"Faint and faint. Anyway, as long as he doesn't say it, we won't be able to track down the person behind the scenes, so let's assume that he did it. Zhu Ziqing didn't care.

"You're going to let go of the people behind the scenes?

"Then what do you say? Don't say it's hard to investigate, even if we find out, what can we do? It's better to ignore them and just be ourselves. Readers are not fools and will not fall for them again and again. ”

“……”

"Okay, let's not talk about it. It's the second round tomorrow and I'm going to have a good rest. ”

"If something like this happens, can you still sleep?"

'It's probably one of their goals to interfere with my form and make me feel comfortable playing. I can't do what they want. Besides, if I lose the game, wouldn't it be right for them to question it? Therefore, achieving a good ranking in the peace of mind competition is the best way to break their doubts. Why can't you say I can't sleep. ”

This is not a pretense of gesture, nor is it a lie to Tao Yingshuang. That's what he thought. Zhu Ziqing deeply understands a truth, literati still have to rely on the pen to speak in the end. As long as you can keep writing excellent articles, it will be a joke if you have a good reason to question.

The best way to deal with this challenge is not to argue, not to justify. It's about coming up with better works in the next competitions. When the time comes, there is no need for him to say, and it will be clear who is true and who is false.

Coming forward to defend yourself now will only degenerate into a war of words, which will not only not work, but will lower your own level. If you think about it, you will naturally be able to sleep soundly.

Early the next morning, Tao Yingshuang drove Zhu Ziqing to the examination room.

The examination room is closed, and non-staff and contestants are not allowed to enter, and Tao Yingshuang naturally cannot enter. Originally, he wanted to wait here until the end of the exam, but he drove away at Zhu Ziqing's strong request.

Seeing Tao Yingshuang leave, Zhu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around and coming to the door, he took out his ID card and walked into the building under the surprised gaze of the doorman. Follow the signage and walk all the way to the entrance of the exam room.

When Zhu Ziqing arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered here, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat. He is a rookie in his debut, and his interpersonal relationships are narrow. None of these people know anyone, so they can only stand aside and watch others talk.

Just because he doesn't know someone doesn't know him doesn't mean they don't know him either. The eighteen-year-old first place in the preliminary round, fellow contestants, it is difficult for these people to know him or not. What's more, the front page headlines of the media have almost been dominated by him recently.

So as soon as he walked in, a lot of people noticed him. When it was confirmed that he was not a staff member and a person who broke in by mistake, it could basically be concluded that he was Zhu Ziqing.

Everyone is curious about this teenager who has stolen everyone's limelight. But because they didn't know each other, no one rushed forward to talk. Just secretly observing from a distance.

100 people were selected for the preliminary round, and only 50 people were selected for the second round. In other words, half of these people will leave. Scanning the crowd in front of him, Zhu Ziqing thought silently in his heart.

"Are you Zhu Ziqing?" Suddenly, an arrogant voice sounded on his side.

"Yes, it's me, do you have any advice? Zhu Ziqing turned around slightly, faced the visitor, and said with a smile.

Finally, someone stepped forward to make contact, and the people around who were silently paying attention to Zhu Ziqing stopped talking and shifted their gaze.

The person who came did not answer, but looked Zhu Ziqing up and down very rudely. Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at the person with the same gaze.

The man was in his mid-forties and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Slightly narrow eyes and thin lips indicate that this is not a person to want to work with. Sure enough, as soon as the thought fell, I heard him say:

"It's better to be famous than to meet. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing was about to get angry, but suddenly remembered something and endured it. The smile on his face became even brighter:

"Sorry to disappoint you. Dare to ask your name?"

The people around who watched the excitement originally thought that Jin Sibian was too much, and actually bullied a teenager like this. But now seeing Zhu Ziqing's attitude, he couldn't help frowning. This kid is too spineless.

Jin Sibian was very satisfied with Zhu Ziqing's attitude, and couldn't help but raise his head by two points, and said in an arrogant tone: "Jin Linqi." ”

Jin Linqi, is he Jin Linqi? Regarding this person who publicly smeared himself, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but take a few more looks.

On the way here, he was still thinking that he would definitely meet Jin Linqi today. I don't know if it will be like in the online novels I read in my previous life, there will be a fierce tearing war. I didn't expect it, but I really wanted to come to something.

Zhu Ziqing has never been a person who swallows his anger, he can't do such a thing as being slapped on the left side of his face and sticking out his right cheek. He has always been able to avenge himself face to face, and he will never stay overnight. However, spraying him directly is not the best way, and it will not only not work like a shrew scolding the street, but it will also be true.

I was inspired to think of the scene in the TV series "Journey to the West" in my previous life, where the monkey introduced himself to an old man, how similar it was to the situation in front of him.

"Wow, it turns out that you are Jin Linqi. Zhu Ziqing's eyes lit up and he shouted in a voice full of disbelief.

Zhu Ziqing's attitude made Jin Linqi stunned all of a sudden. Doesn't he know that I questioned him yesterday? Even if he didn't know, he shouldn't have been able to hear my tone so badly. Why didn't you get angry at all and still look at me with adoring eyes?

Could it be that he is a fan of mine? Jin Linqi couldn't help but think. If he's a fan of mine, am I treating him like this?

No, no, no, as a fan of mine, it's his honor to be reprimanded by me. And it's about my future. After I became a director, I would like to mention him a little more as compensation. Jin Linqi fluttered up all of a sudden, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant.

But Zhu Ziqing's next words made the smug smile he had just shown froze on his face.

I saw Zhu Ziqing, who looked like an idol one moment ago, and the next moment he instantly put away the smile on his face, and said indifferently: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Haha......" None of the onlookers were stupid, and they didn't understand what was going on, so they burst into laughter.

Jin Linqi also knew that he had been tricked, and his face darkened: "I am really uneducated, I don't know how to respect my predecessors, people like you can't go long in the literary world." ”

This will make Zhu Ziqing not angry, and said jokingly: "Thank you for reminding me." Originally, I was worried about this, but when I saw you today, I was relieved. ”

"Haha......" The people around laughed even more unscrupulously.

"You ......" Jin Linqi's face turned blue with anger, and he flicked his sleeves and left.
