Zuzi leaned her jade arm on the bar, smiled softly, and gestured with her fingers, casting an Immortal Technique towards the crowd not far away.
The socialites were dumbfounded by the sudden reversal of events. Once they snapped out of it, they couldn’t help but be filled with righteous indignation:
"Shen Ying deceived our feelings!"
"It turns out Shen Ying secretly plagiarized Wu Ming’s comics from twenty years ago, and now she’s biting the new alias Qianshan instead. That’s just too bitchy."
"For authors, character cos first. If one’s own values are wrong, there’s no way to write a good work; only stealing others’ ideas is possible. That’s basically a thief!"
"Fortunately, I didn’t tip her earlier, or I’d be fuming!"
"Sa here, I’d rather feed dogs with my money than her!"
The harsh criticisms online disappear when you close the webpage.
But the clear and sharp accusations from those around her were impossible for Gu Shiyin to ignore.
Her face felt like it was being lashed continuously with a whip, causing unbearable pain.
Never before in her life had she encountered such a comprehensive negation and humiliation of her character.
At this very mont, the editor’s call ca through again. Annoyed, she answered: "Hello?"
"Shen Ying, what’s going on with you? You swore to that you were the victim, being plagiarized, yet you outright copied Wu Ming’s comic lines..."
The torrent of accusations from the editor’s side ca crashing down, accompanied by the sounds of slamming files and keyboard clicking, showing just how furious the editor was.
"If you’re just going to spew nonsense, I don’t have ti to listen," Gu Shiyin responded coldly, maintaining her aloof deanor.
"And you’re still putting on airs with ? Do you have any conscience? Do you know that for your sake, I offended the higher-ups, canceled Qianshan’s recomndation on the sly behind Mr. Ma’s back, and arranged a big promotion for you, suggested you use Weibo to broaden your influence, and planned world announcents on the website... all because I thought you were wronged and wanted to give you so fair support! And what did you do? You played , deceived , and now act righteously? Do you have a conscience?" The editor was truly driven mad by anger.
He had staked his entire career on Shen Ying, believing he was pursuing justice, only to beco a laughing stock.
Gu Shiyin remained unmoved, her tone icy: "That only ans you’re too stupid."
She never asked him for a recomndation, let alone instructed him to pull Qianshan’s recomndation.
Editor: "You...! Fine, I admit I was too stupid, believing your tranquility claims, thinking you didn’t care about personal gains and losses, so I helped you! It turns out it was all my wishful thinking, my stupidity!"
The editor’s shouting grew louder and more piercing.
Gu Shiyin held the phone a bit away, impatiently said: "Good that you know, my ti is precious and not to be wasted by you. Goodbye!"
With that, she was ready to cut the phone call.
She noticed the surrounding had fallen into dead silence.
The socialites who were passionately discussing and condemning Shen Ying monts ago clamd up, all staring at her.
Gu Shiyin pursed her lips, thinking that during her phone call with the editor, she had deliberately not ntioned any identity, so people shouldn’t have noticed.
Maybe her imposing aura scared these little girls.
She curved a smile: "No worries, just so business partners ssed up, I’ll handle it."
Silence, the scene was still dead silent.
Gu Pinting looked shocked and confused, trembling lips asked—
