"Have you found it now?" Zhang Yichen poked his head and asked curiously.

"Nope." Zhou Manman looked depressed.

"Ahh What should I do? Zhang Yichen let out another exaggerated shout, "If it's plagiarism, won't you be able to win the award?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Manman shook his head, "I won't know until I go to the company tomorrow, let's sleep first." ”

She looked at Zhang Yichen who was lying on the bed, got up and turned off the lights in the dormitory.

In the dormitory, it was dark.

Zhou Manman hid under the covers and opened Weibo again, and in just a few hours, there were already hundreds of private messages on her Weibo.

Her trembling fingers hung in the air, but in the end she didn't click on the private message, and a huge fear enveloped her heart, and she came to the company's Weibo again, which had posted its latest Weibo a few minutes ago.

[Recently, the company's cartoonist Zhou Manman's plagiarism incident in his entries, the company will not tolerate plagiarists, and has organized special personnel to carry out an investigation, please be patient with fans, we will give you a reasonable explanation. 】

The company did not wait for the original of her work, but could only do business and draw a line with her, in the final analysis, the company also spoke out as a victim.

This Weibo was soon also covered by a message.

[Zhou Manman's plagiarism monster: The plagiarist should cancel the first prize and be disqualified from signing the contract! ] 】

Seeing this message, Zhou Manman suddenly became excited, if the award qualification is cancelled, then everything he has now will become a bubble!

Bonuses, exchange opportunities, artist contract ......

Zhou Manman couldn't imagine it.

[Long but not slow: Please believe me, this is my work.] 】

Attached is a picture of the work taken before.

Zhou Manman stared at her Weibo homepage for a long time, then clicked on the photo posted by the whistleblower, and her fingers impatiently zoomed in and looked at the signature in the lower right corner.

Little B.

She opened the browser and searched for Xiao Yi's name, but did not find the painter.

Who is this person?

Why is it exactly the same as my own drawing?

This night, she spent all night in chaos, and finally stayed up until five o'clock, and it was still dark outside the window in the morning in winter, so she got out of bed lightly, got dressed, and left the dormitory.

As soon as she walked out of the dormitory building, the sudden cold wind penetrated into her whole body along Zhou Manman's collar, she couldn't help but shiver, quickly wrapped her coat tightly, walked a few steps, and stopped a taxi.

"Master, go to DreamWorks Corporation."

Along the way, Zhou Manman stared at the scenery speeding by the window with a cold face and silence, the city was still quiet in the early morning, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

As expected, the company had not yet gone to work, the door was locked, and after pacing back and forth at the door for a few steps, Zhou Manman found a wall and squatted down, hugging his knees to keep warm.

Knowing that the company would not go to work until 9 o'clock, but the time was too difficult, she really couldn't stand the anxious and useless wait in the cub dormitory, so she could only come to the company in advance to wait.

The long squatting position made her feet tingle and tremble.

Zhou Manman touched her ankles, and the tingling sensation like electricity spread all over her body, she groped the wall and wanted to get up, and then the huge dizziness that came made her shake and fall to the ground.

After a night of sleeplessness, coupled with the fact that he didn't eat breakfast, Zhou Manman couldn't support it at this moment.

I'm so sleepy......

Sleepiness hit, and the cold wall she was leaning against slowly closed her heavy eyelids.

"Zhou Manman? How do you sit on the ground! A voice woke her up, Zhou Chang opened her eyes with difficulty, her head was blank, and she carefully identified it for a long time before she recognized that the person in front of her was Xiao Ke, who helped her make up on the day of the press conference.

"Sister Xiaoke......" Zhou Manman muttered hello, holding on to the ground with difficulty and trying to struggle to get up, but his feet were weak and he fell to the ground again.

"Get up, go in and warm up." Xiao Ke pulled up Zhou Manman, who was struggling on the ground, and helped her into the company.

"Quick, get a cup of hot water." Xiao Ke handed Zhou Manman, who was resting on the sofa, a glass of warm water.

"Thank you."

Zhou Manman's unconscious eyes turned red, and his nose began to sour again.

"Are you here to copy that?" Xiao Ke sat beside her and asked in a concerned tone.

"Hmm." Zhou Manman nodded, desperately holding back the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes, and said, "You know?"

As soon as she said that, she secretly laughed at herself, can you not know, Xiao Ke is this company.

"Hmm." Xiao Ke nodded and comforted: "Don't be too sad, the matter hasn't been investigated yet."

Zhou Manman didn't speak, and the two fell into silence again.

"By the way, Fei Ge was very angry yesterday." Zhou Manman broke the silence and asked again.

"Well, Mr. Wan scolded him very badly." Xiao Ke nodded and continued: "Blame him for not doing a good job when he was reviewing."

Zhou Manman lowered her head in shame, although she had a clear conscience, but she felt very guilty when Fei Ge was scolded.

"Yesterday, the company's website and Weibo were paralyzed." Xiao Ke looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Brother Fei and the technical department went back very late, so it may be a little late today, you can wait a little longer."

"It's fine." Zhou Manman nodded with a huge dark circle under his eyes.

It's almost time to go to work, and many people came to the company one after another, and when they passed by Zhou Manman, they raised their hands to say hello lukewarmly, turned their heads and whispered with the people around them, and looked in the direction of Zhou Manman from time to time.

Zhou Man shrank his head and hid in the sofa without making a sound.

"This is Zhou Manman!"

"Did you know? She had been to the company before. ”

"I heard that last time she soiled Sister Amy's manuscript for publication, and temporarily asked her to work overtime to draw it."

"It's so powerful, she can actually draw Sister Amy's manuscript? That's not notoriously hard! ”

"Hey, who knows if she's deliberately trying to be in the limelight."

"Well, it's hard to say."

"Sister Amy must be angry!"

"Anyway, after I watched the news yesterday, Sister Amy was very happy."

"Be careful, Sister Amy will beat you when she hears it!"

"Brother Fei is here, Brother Fei is here."

The people sitting around immediately stopped the discussion and dispersed, Zhou Manman raised his head from the pile of discussions, and saw Wang Fei's serious expression.

"You, come in with me." With a bit of reproach in his tired tone, Zhou Manman quickly got up and followed him to the office.

"Still haven't found it?" He sat in his chair and stared at Zhou Manman.

Zhou Manman stood there honestly and nodded like a schoolboy who made a mistake.

"Can you remember where it fell?" Wang Fei's tone was eager, but he still had expectations for Zhou Manman.

"I searched all the places I could last night." Zhou Man drooped his head and whispered.

Hearing that, Wang Fei slammed his body into the back of the chair like a deflated ball, "Manman, should you, it's really plagiarism, right?" ”

"Fly...... Phineas, I really don't. Zhou Manman hurriedly raised his head, looked at him and replied sincerely, "Besides, even if I am plagiarism, I shouldn't be unable to find the manuscript of the work!" ”

"Hmm." Wang Fei nodded thoughtfully, "The painting is lost...... Manman, I've always admired you, and you should feel it too. ”

Zhou Manman nodded shamefully, and vigorously restrained the corners of his mouth that wanted to be lowered.

"Here in the company, I recommend you every time and give you a chance, but the plagiarism has received too much attention, and it has a great impact on the company, and it is difficult for me to do it if I have opinions......" Wang Fei was full of regret.

Zhou Manman was only silent, she didn't know what Wang Fei meant.

"You also saw the Weibo message last night, and it was directly blown up, the company was particularly damaged, and several publishers wanted to terminate their cooperation overnight, and Mr. Wan's mouth was worn out yesterday." Wang Fei rubbed his temples and continued: "The company and you are originally a cooperative relationship, and we really can't afford such heavy losses, and we also have to consider other cartoonists." ”

Zhou Manman raised his head suddenly, with incredible horror in his eyes, and asked, "Brother Fei, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Literally." Wang Fei sighed and said: "I can't help it, it's a long time, I've done my best to help you, as long as you bring the work today, as long as you bring it, there will still be hope for everything." ”

"Is the company going to give up on me?" Zhou Manman's mind went blank, and he took a step back helplessly, and only stood still after steady.

"Alas......" Wang Fei sighed heavily and did not speak.

"Brother Fei, I really didn't plagiarize." However, the words that were repeated over and over again were really pale and powerless, and Zhou Manman looked at Wang Fei, who no longer spoke, and his heart seemed to have fallen into the boundless seabed, sinking into darkness little by little.

"Manman, you calm down first, and when this period of limelight is over, I'll help you find a way." Wang Fei looked up at Zhou Man's helpless eyes, and said with some reluctance.

"But...... But what about my comic book 'Yu'? Zhou Manman suddenly reacted and asked in a panic.

This is a gift she prepared for Shirakawa Canghe, was she sentenced to life because of what happened to her?

"The company will take over this series of serializations, which is also the company's product, you can rest assured." Wang Fei soothed her and said.

"How will the company know about my idea? How can I rest assured?! Zhou Manman suddenly raised his voice and said to Wang Fei: "Brother Fei, if I am no longer in the company, 'Yu' will not be serialized anymore, don't ...... Don't ruin my story......" her tone was full of supplication.

"Manman, there are a lot of capable cartoonists in the company, so this series won't be over, you can rest assured." Wang Fei didn't pay attention to her abnormality.

"It's different!" Zhou Manman eagerly took a few steps forward, approached Wang Fei, propped his hands on the desk, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Fei, this is my hard work, this story is unique, no one can replace it." ”

"You're afraid, you're too conceited." A thick male voice sounded from behind him, and Zhou Manman turned his head suddenly, it was Lao Wan.

"Mr. Wan." Wang Fei hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

"Zhou Manman, DreamWorks is not a company that succeeds because of you, but because you have suffered heavy losses, why are you so conceited? How can you say that no one can replace you? Lao Wan's voice was cold, which was completely different from him on the day of the fan meeting.

"No......" Zhou Manman bit his lip, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble and droop, and the huge grievances were churning in his internal organs, "It's not conceited, Mr. Wan, this is what I drew for a friend, I don't want others to ruin my fantasy......"

It's Shirakawa Canghe, this is the only thing she can do for him, she must complete it.

All the sadness could not be held back at this moment, and hot tears flowed down the cold cheeks, burning Mu Ran's Zhou Manman.
