"Look, even Professor Mei likes Mr. Shen's "Old Things in the Mansion", Mr. Shen's article is not kitsch or cynical, and what is revealed from the plain narrative is infinite courage."

Xue Li's expression was gentle, and her face was peachy, "I think that in the near future, Mr. Shen will definitely become a great writer who surpasses Mr. Mei." ”

Mei Shuli seemed to respond to his words, and said: "This book is the most mature of all the vernacular in the past five years, the language in the book is very ordinary, it seems to integrate countless national events, thinking about the future, and the world into those diets and daily life, trivial things, although there are occasional naïve places in terms of views, but vaguely can still see the author's thinking and love for the world. ”

Everyone perked up at once, even the authors who didn't think the book was good.

Mei Shuli already has such an appeal, the same words, others can not listen to or believe it, but when he says it, it will be convincing.

Shen Hong's eyes were shining, his spirits were uplifted, and he showed a smug excitement. Imagining the future in your mind......

The reporters below exchanged their heads and muttered.

"It seems that this surnamed Shen is going to fly into the sky."

"Later, there were many celebrities in Dengzhou."

Mei Shuli suddenly slapped the table, slammed the book, put the book on the table, stood up, and looked at Shen Hong coldly: "This "Old Things in the Mansion" is obviously written by my old friend, Shen Hong, where did you steal the manuscript?" ”

Shen Hong was stunned for a moment, like a pour of cold water, his expression changed suddenly, his mind was turbulent, and his face unconsciously brought out a little strangeness.

Everyone present, as well as reporters, was shocked by Mei Shuli's words and instinctively looked at Shen Hong.

There is no shortage of shrewd and discerning characters among these people, and at a glance, it can be seen that Shen Hong's face is obviously a little weak.

The reporters were immediately excited.

Recently, Shen Hong's name has resounded in Dengzhou, and his book "Old Things in the Mansion" is also the most eye-catching at the moment, and now such a change has happened, some people point out that the author of this book is someone else, and the manuscript was stolen by Shen Hong, which is simply flying headlines!

The person who said this was still Mr. Mei Shuli Mei.

There was an uproar in the auditorium.

The readers who came here were immediately confused. Whispers, noises, shouts mingled.

Shen Hong came back to his senses, his expression was suddenly nervous, and he denied it sharply: "Mr. Mei, this was originally written by Shen himself, who have you been deceived by?" ”

He was trying his best to cheer himself up.

"Old Things in the Mansion" was published many years later, and now even if that Shang Heng has started to write, he can't write much, at least it can't be completed, he denies it to death, and the other party will definitely not be able to come up with evidence.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Hong was full of confidence, stood up straight and said to the readers who were flustered outside: "Miss Xue, and everyone, listen to me." ”

"I didn't expect to be slandered like this, but my manuscript was kept at home, once in a small attic, and I also lit a lamp and boiled oil, and wrote all night long, and I wrote for a long time, and this one finally met you, and all the tenants who lived with me at that time could testify for me."

"In the process of writing, I have also discussed with my fellow practitioners, and I have also consulted others, for example, Mr. Xu Qiuxu, I once handed him the semi-finished product and asked him to be elegant."

Xu Qiu was also at the scene, hesitated, of course he didn't want to go against Mr. Mei, but as a literati, he still had some backbone, and he didn't want to lie, so he had to nod and smile bitterly at Mr. Mei: "The junior read this book two months ago, and Mr. Shen sent it to me." ”

The readers were a little calmer, the reporters were not in a hurry to make a statement, and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mei Shuli sneered: "I know, for an author, to say that his works were not written by him is a very serious accusation, think that I Mei Shuli has been engaged in literary work for more than 40 years, and has never accused anyone without evidence, this time, of course, of course." ”

He nodded at his assistant outside, and the assistant went out to open the door of the auditorium and shouted, "Mr. Shang." ”

Hearing these three words, Shen Hong's heart beat wildly, and he was almost unsteady on his feet, and it took all his strength to maintain his complexion.

Shang Heng strode in.

Meng Yifei slipped in through the back door, sat down behind Commissioner Wang, and passed on all the information he brought to Mr. Mei by the way.

At this point, Shang Heng did not rely on Mr. Mei and others to open his eyes, he walked to the rostrum in two steps, clapped his hands, and the two Qu family members behind him handed over the copied and bound thick draft to the reporter and the writers present in turn, and also passed a copy to the readers.

Everyone got their hands on it and was stunned.

On the cover of the draft, Shang Heng's slightly arrogant font comes into view - "The Story of the Mansion Gate"

The reporters flipped through a few pages and were in an uproar: "What does this book mean?" ”

"Mr. Shang, what does this have to do with "Old Things in the Mansion" published by Mr. Shen Pingfan?"

"What does Mr. Mei mean, you are the author of "Old Things in the Mansion"?"

Shang Heng was very calm and said lightly: "The actor Cen Mo, the only son of the Cen family, studied in the United States, dropped out of school halfway and transferred to medicine, and then went to Yale University at his own expense to study railway engineering. ”

"If you still remember the Mr. Li who went crazy for most of China thirteen years ago in order to build the railway, you should know who the prototype I am talking about is."

Everyone was stunned.

Most of the well-informed reporters immediately remembered who this Mr. Shang was talking about.

"That's true. I just read "Old Things in the Mansion" casually, and when people said it, I remembered that it was indeed a bit of a shadow of Mr. Li and his family. ”

Shen Hong's mind was blank, trying to receive Shang Heng's words and think about countermeasures.

Before he could come up with the words to deal with it, Shang Heng sighed: "My surname is Shang, and my father is Shang Tongnan, who is the cousin of the prototype of the protagonist in my pen." ”

"Ah, I know the prototype of the heroine, it's the third girl of the Wang family, when the widow remarried, the woman was six years older than the man, and it was a sensation, why didn't I think about it."

A group of journalists and writers suddenly realized.

Compared with the male protagonist, the female protagonist is a native of Dengzhou, and the Wang family has taken root in Dengzhou City for many years, which is easier to remind.

There was a lot of discussion below, almost in the blink of an eye, and most of the authors looked at Shen Hong's expression a little wrong.

Readers are also at a loss.

It's Xue Li, who is in turmoil, but also wants to support Shen Hong, but she has no confidence.

She is also a reporter, and as a reporter, she is naturally well-informed, not to mention that she, a little rich girl, also has ambitions and aspires to become an excellent writer, and has a certain degree of understanding of various major events.

She is even a fan of Shen Hong's books, and she has read the book "Old Things in the Mansion" many times.

When she watched it, she always had a sense of déjà vu, which was very subtle, and made her like it more and more, and now she thinks about it......

Shen Hong couldn't see it well, and blurted out: "Yes, my book is indeed based on Mr. Li...... This unknown gentleman, you can't just say that you wrote my book just because you are the son of Mr. Li's cousin's family? If your identity can be used as evidence, we people will have a headache! ”

The crowd was silent.

Shang Heng waved his hand again, and the family members who followed behind pasted the large photos on the wall one by one.

As soon as the photo was on the wall, others also gave up, and senior book fans reacted immediately.

Every piece of ornament, every piece of jewelry, even clothing, supplies, and rockeries and ponds in the yard can be found in it.

One of the book lovers grabbed the gift he bought for Shen Hong, an inkstone, and smashed it heavily on Shen Hong's body.

"Phew!"

Shen Hong was smashed to the point that his head was bleeding, and the book fan turned around and left.

Shang Heng also sneered: "You can say that you have visited the Li family's old house, but you don't know about the furnishings in the women's rooms of other people's families." ”

At this time, Shen Hong still stubbornly refused to admit it, but anyone who was not blind understood that this could not have been written by him.

Although everyone doesn't know, where did Shen Hong get the manuscript.

Many readers were resentful.

Shen Hong's face became more and more pale and ugly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Meng Yifei sat behind Commissioner Wang, reached out and took the microphone, and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Shen, you are familiar with this kind of thing, after the release of "Old Things in the Mansion", I investigated you a little and read the three articles you wrote when you were in school. ”

""Autumn Moon Night", and the magazine music and art miscellaneous talks, the author Ah Fen's "Infinite Blue" section 3 is more than 80% the same."

"There is almost no difference between your essay "Father's Love" and an anonymous work "The First Mountain of Life" in the Jiangnan Vernacular Weekly except for the names of the characters."

"The last article, the vernacular short story "Borrowing a Car", I haven't found the source, but this article is actually changed for you by your classmate Zhang Rui, which your whole class knows, Zhang Rui changed more than eighty percent."

"Just like you, you are happy to be sought after in newspapers and magazines these days, can you afford it?"

Meng Yifei's voice was neither high nor low, clear and clear, and everyone was stunned when they heard it.

Mr. Mei and Commissioner Wang were also very surprised.

Master Meng usually doesn't like to talk so much.

"Ahem."

Mei Shuli coughed, his expression solemn, "I, Mei Shuli, swear by my personality that everything I say is true." This book "Old Stories of the Mansion" is the first draft of "The Story of the Mansion Gate" by my friend, Mr. Shang Hengshang. ”

Commissioner Wang and others also said: "We can also testify that in the process of Mr. Shang's writing, we provided him with a little material, and the prototypes of the protagonists of this book are all relatives and friends of Mr. Shang's ancestors, and there are even secrets that only Mr. Shang may know." ”

Every one of these people who spoke out was not low in prestige, and naturally no one would not believe what they said.

Mei Shuli said solemnly: "Everyone pays attention to tomorrow's newspaper, we will present all the evidence to the public in the newspaper, and the plagiarism of other people's literary works like Shen Hong must be severely punished, and he will pay the price for what he has done." ”

The auditorium was silent for a few seconds, and several readers exploded, and countless people rushed over to surround Shen Hong and questioned loudly.

Shen Hong's mind was buzzing, and there were even readers who rushed in front of him and poked their fingers in his face.

Even Shang Heng didn't have a chance to speak for a while.

Mr. Mei sneered: "This is just the beginning. ”

Shen Hong got out of the auditorium, ran back to his new house in a covert manner, closed the doors and windows, and hid himself in the study, his mind was still blank, and his whole person was trembling.

He was scared.

It seems that even those neighbors near his home look at him very wrongly.

The next day, his fears were realized.

The front-page headlines in all the newspapers were about the authorship of "Old Mansions".

Mr. Mei, Commissioner Wang, and several famous writers have published articles, and they strongly support Shang Heng as the real author of this book.

The appeal of these articles is quite strong.

All the newspapers in Dengzhou are carrying similar news, from the big newspapers to the street tabloids, to ensure that even the poor people who are begging for a living on the streets can receive the news.

Shen Hong, Shen Pingfan, in an instant, went from a big writer who attracted the attention of readers to a thief that everyone shouted at.

For a while, Shen Hong fell into a desperate situation and closed his door, letting those reporters slam the door, he only racked his brains to think of his own way out.

……

"I was really blinded."

When Master Qu saw the news in the newspaper, he couldn't help but shake his head.

His old man used to have high hopes for Shen Hong, otherwise how could he marry Xiao Jin to him?

Unexpectedly, it was such an ending.

Qu Zheng was in high spirits: "I also have to thank this Shen Gongzi, he did this operation, but he did a pre-heating and publicity for Mr. Shang's masterpiece sales, which saved a big deal." ”

Now Qu Zheng's company's agent Heng works for the distribution of his works, there is no need for pre-publicity expenses, and major bookstores are rushing to talk about cooperation, and there is nothing more enjoyable than this kind of business.

Mr. Mei and they gave Shang Heng's masterpiece a high praise, because of Shen Hong, the popularity is still high.

At that time, many people read the sample book sent out in the auditorium and said that the previous first edition was the one plagiarized by Shen Hong, and there was no way to compare it with the current mature work.

The amount of information contained in the two is very different.

Although Shang Heng's book has actually only finished the first volume, and only the first volume is currently published, the sales are really exciting.

Because there are many rumors, many readers who were not interested in this book are now not exempt from vulgarity, so they have to start a book and read it carefully.

Qu Zheng's business this time is the easiest he has done in years.

"It's a pity that Meng Yifei has to go into retreat again, he doesn't answer the phone, he doesn't come to ask him for tea, and he is willing to eat two bites of food until he is fed to his mouth, everyone is crazy, and it seems that he doesn't have the energy to participate in the celebration."

Shang Heng was in high spirits and became famous in one book, but Shen Hong's life was in a quagmire, turning his head to look around, it was pitch black.
