Chapter 496

Thunderous applause erupted once again from the audience.

These lines were all memorized by Gu Jin Fang in advance, so naturally, he could talk eloquently in front of the media.

The reason he made up this story was to provide a basis for his creation and to make the media believe he was the original creator of this variety show.

Hearing his words, the reporters praised him one after another.

"Teacher Gu's creativity is excellent!"

"It seems that to become a gold-medal planner, one must first have the empathy of Teacher Gu!"

"Everyone is too kind. I'm just an ordinary worker. The fact that this variety show could be selected and filed is inseparable from the support of Vice President Yan. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so smoothly..."

"Teacher Gu, can you talk about your criteria for judging? Or rather, what type of contestants are more likely to be recognized by you?"

"This..." As soon as Gu Jin Fang opened his mouth, the notification sound on the mobile phone in front of him suddenly rang. He only glanced at it, and he was furious. "Shameless! It's simply too shameless!"

The reporters were startled by this sudden turn of events and asked hurriedly.

"Teacher Gu, what's wrong?"

"Did something happen?"

Gu Jin Fang did not answer the reporters' inquiries but stood up with his phone, walked angrily to Yan Qingxue's seat, pointed at the content on the phone screen, and questioned her.

"Miss Yan, what is the meaning of this?"

The people around looked at Yan Qingxue in surprise and began to whisper, all curious about why Gu Jin Fang was so angry.

Facing Gu Jin Fang's questioning, Yan Qingxue said very calmly, "Teacher Gu, you came to me so aggressively; did I offend you somewhere?"

Yan Ershen and Yan Hongyu, who were nearby, curled their lips slightly when they saw this, making an expression of tacit understanding.

This Yan Qingxue, she's still playing dumb when death is imminent.

Does she think she can muddle through like this?

Xu Tian, who was not sitting at the main table, watched everything happening in front of him from afar and did not immediately go to Yan Qingxue's side to help her out.

He believed that Yan Qingxue could solve it completely and did not need him to step in personally.

Now he just needs to watch the show from the sidelines.

This time, Giant Star Media invited dozens of media outlets to the scene; what could be better publicity than this?

Since Yan Hongyu and the others want to splash dirty water on him, then don't blame him for stepping on Giant Star Media to get ahead.

"Teacher Gu, what exactly is going on?"

"That's right, tell us, let everyone judge for you!"

After the crowd's questioning, Gu Jin Fang said reluctantly.

"Miss Yan, I wanted to save you some face for the sake of you being a member of the Yan family, but since this is your attitude now, don't blame me for handling this officially!"

"Everyone, listen to me. Today was supposed to be the first anniversary of Giant Star Media's listing, and also the launch ceremony for our new variety show. On such an important occasion, someone insists on shamelessly challenging my bottom line!"

"From the day I entered the industry, I have said that I would resolutely fight against all plagiarism and theft. Miss Yan, explain to me, why does the new variety show planned by your company have to plagiarize my creativity?"

"After I discovered that Qiao Ruoyun used my plan to sign a contract with you, I sent a lawyer to communicate with you. I originally thought you were also victims, so I wanted to resolve it privately to save you some face."

"But you treated our warning as a joke and ignored it completely. Knowing that Qiao Ruoyun's plan was plagiarized, you still didn't terminate the contract with her, and now you've even officially announced the launch of the audition plan. This is simply too bullying!"

"What? Plagiarism?"

Gu Jin Fang's words shocked everyone present, and they all looked at Yan Qingxue.

The reporters who reacted even aimed their camera lenses at Yan Qingxue, waiting for her response.

"Yan Qingxue actually plagiarized Gu Jin Fang's variety show plan? And even after the other party came to the door, she still refused to repent and insisted on launching the project?"

"Yan Qingxue is considered a member of the Yan family, isn't this biting the hand that feeds her? She wouldn't be that stupid, would she?"

"Holy crap! Teacher Gu is telling the truth! Everyone, go check Flourishing Stars Media's official blog!"

"They scheduled the auditions for the weekend, and the variety show is called 'All-People Singer-Songwriter'. It doesn't seem to have any connection to Teacher Gu's 'Group Idol', but looking at the audition method, it's also a group talent show..."

"Isn't this plagiarism? This talent show mode is unique in the country. Now that two companies are launching variety shows with the same mode at the same time, one of them must have plagiarized!"

"Even if she is a member of the Yan family, she can't act so recklessly, right? Does she really think people won't sue her out of consideration for family ties?"

"I understand now why Yan Qingxue doesn't work at a company under the Yan Group. A woman who uses unscrupulous means for profit like this would definitely use her position for personal gain even if she entered the company."

The crowd around was discussing, and most of them were mocking Yan Qingxue.

Yan Laoyezi looked at Yan Qingxue with a gloomy gaze and asked, "Qingxue, what exactly is going on? Explain it clearly to me!"

Yan Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Grandpa, our company is indeed preparing to launch a brand-new talent show variety program, but regarding what Teacher Gu said, there must be a misunderstanding. I'll explain it to you separately after the annual meeting ends. After all, today is Giant Star Media's annual celebration, and I feel terrible for ruining everyone's mood because of my affairs."

Yan Qingxue was clearly showing weakness and wanting to resolve it privately, but the more she retreated like this, the more it appeared to be a sign of guilt in the eyes of others.

Gu Jin Fang was aggressive: "Miss Yan, since you say there is a misunderstanding, you can explain it clearly in front of everyone to clear your name. Don't you all agree?"

"That's right! If it's really not plagiarism, explain it clearly!"

"Exactly, what is there that can't be explained!"

After hearing Gu Jin Fang's words, the surrounding reporters also joined in the clamor.

"But..." Yan Qingxue looked at Yan Laoyezi's direction with hesitation, then said to Gu Jin Fang, "Teacher Gu, I really don't think it's convenient to discuss this matter publicly. Let's talk about it properly after the annual meeting ends."

"Not convenient? I don't think there's anything inconvenient about it." Gu Jin Fang snorted coldly. "You refuse to give me a reasonable explanation to my face; are you feeling guilty? Are you trying to muddle through?"

"I believe Chairman Yan is a good leader who handles things impartially and does not practice favoritism, so I can only let him handle this matter impartially."

Yan Laoyezi's face became increasingly ugly. He had originally thought that Yan Qingxue had turned over a new leaf and had ambition during this period, but he didn't expect that her company would be accused of plagiarism not long after it was established. Could it be that all of Yan Qingxue's previous performances were just an act in front of him?

However, since she was his own granddaughter, Yan Laoyezi decided to give her one more chance.
