Chapter 498: You are too shameless!

Yan Laoyezi sighed and looked up at Yan Qingxue standing on the stage, his eyes filled only with anger and disappointment. Was Yan Qingxue's obedient and listening appearance in front of him before all just an act?

He could accept Yan Qingxue having no achievements in her career, but he could not accept her lack of integrity, selling out family interests to exchange for benefits for herself.

Discovering that the granddaughter he had watched grow up had become like this today, Yan Laoyezi only felt powerless. If he had known earlier, he should have kept Yan Qingxue by his side all along and not given his eldest son a chance to corrupt his granddaughter.

But it was too late to say anything now. Yan Qingxue plagiarized the company's creative work this time; who knows what more excessive behavior she might do in the future...

He really didn't want to have to face his own granddaughter in court one day.

At this time, Yan Qingxue, standing on the stage, had already introduced the variety show concept and guest lineup of *All People's Singer-Songwriter* in full. She even opened the projector to play a PPT, promoting this variety show in a more detailed way, and emphasized again that the first round of auditions for *All People's Singer-Songwriter* would be held this weekend, and interested reporters could go to interview then...

The reporters listened patiently to Yan Qingxue's introduction at first, but later felt more and more that something was wrong, and they interrupted her one after another.

"Miss Yan, please don't waste everyone's time anymore. We are more interested in the dispute over your company plagiarizing Teacher Gu's creative work."

"I just want to know if you plagiarized the talent show planned by Teacher Gu?"

"If you were unaware beforehand, then why didn't you stop the infringement after Giant Star Media communicated with you, and instead continued to officially announce and hold auditions?"

"That's right, Miss Yan, say what you think. The concept and process of your company's variety show are exactly the same as Giant Star Media's group idol talent show. I don't believe this is a coincidence. I think you should immediately apologize to Teacher Gu and Giant Star Media and terminate all plans!"

"Companies like yours that only know how to plagiarize others' creativity to gain attention are a tumor in the entire entertainment industry. As media, we absolutely cannot allow such bottomless behavior!"

The reporters stood on the moral high ground and criticized Yan Qingxue righteously.

Yan Qingxue was not angry listening to the increasingly intense accusations from off-stage, and still answered calmly: "Plagiarism is indeed a tumor in the entertainment industry, but I am not a plagiarist, and all the employees of our company have not committed any infringement."

"Although Flourishing Stars Media is just a newly established small company, we don't have a strong background, nor do we have hundreds of millions in assets like Giant Star Media, but we truly love this industry and hope to work hard for it."

"The variety show *All People's Singer-Songwriter* is the hard work of all our company's employees, and I won't allow anyone to splash dirty water on it. Teacher Gu said he hoped our company would give him an explanation. Now, I want to represent Flourishing Stars Media and ask Teacher Gu for an explanation!"

Gu Jin Fang sneered upon hearing this: "An explanation? What do you want me to explain to you? You plagiarized my work and you're still justified?"

"Teacher Gu, I want to ask you, you said your creative inspiration for this group idol variety show came from an experience of eating at a barbecue restaurant two months ago, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

"That is to say, the time you created this variety show plan was at the earliest two months ago."

"Yan Qingxue, don't talk nonsense and avoid the question, you are like this..." Gu Jin Fang frowned and interrupted her impatiently.

"Teacher Gu, don't be in a hurry. I have one more question. How can you prove that you had already completed the entire variety show plan two months ago?"

"Hehe, I thought you wanted to ask something else." Gu Jin Fang replied dismissively: "The records on my computer and the time I submitted it to the company's senior management for approval can testify for me. Also, the time I applied to the cultural department after the company decided to set up the project is also proof."

"Moreover, during this period, I also modified the entire creative plan and referred to the opinions of Vice President Yan Hongyu. I think Vice President Yan should be able to be my witness. Now that there are both human and material evidence, I think it should be enough to prove that the original copyright of this variety show is with me, right?"

In order to make his statement more credible, Gu Jin Fang even pushed Yan Hongyu out to be a witness.

Seeing that Yan Hongyu was also involved, Yan Qingxue curled her lips slightly. It seemed that the development of things was even smoother than she had expected.

Seeing Gu Jin Fang full of confidence, she spoke again: "Since Teacher Gu said he planned this variety show two months ago, then I want to ask you, why did these unique inspirations of yours appear as early as the beginning of this year, that is, eight months ago?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?" Gu Jin Fang didn't believe Yan Qingxue's words at all, thinking this was just a reason she had come up with on the spot to quibble.

"Since you don't believe it, let's look at the evidence." After Yan Qingxue finished speaking, she used the remote control in her hand to play an image. The image was a screenshot of a personal homepage on Weibo.

An account called "Ruo Yun" had posted the initial creative concept of *All People's Singer-Songwriter* and the entire process of the variety show. Although the content on Weibo was relatively brief, the form was exactly the same as the group idol plan Gu Jin Fang had created.

Looking at the posting time on Weibo, it was exactly eight months ago, five months earlier than the time Gu Jin Fang had mentioned.

The reporters off-stage were stunned for a few seconds before they reacted, frantically pressing the shutter to take pictures.

"What is the situation? Isn't the plagiarist Qiao Ruoyun? Why is the time posted on Qiao Ruoyun's Weibo more than five months earlier than the time Gu Jin Fang said?"

"In this way, the plagiarist is not Qiao Ruoyun, but Gu Jin Fang?"

"Impossible, Teacher Gu is a gold-medal planner in the entertainment industry. How could he plagiarize his assistant's plan? This is too outrageous."

"This picture is photoshopped, right? Teacher Gu couldn't possibly plagiarize!"

Gu Jin Fang's face changed again and again, and he suddenly pointed at the photo on the big screen and shouted: "Yan Qingxue, you are too shameless! To cover up your plagiarism, you actually photoshopped a picture to frame me! You are committing perjury!"

Yan Qingxue sneered: "Teacher Gu, this is a public place. In front of so many media friends, if I used a processed picture, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?"

"If anyone among the people present has any objections to the authenticity of this picture, you can come to me to copy the picture for identification, or you can search for this account on Weibo yourself to see if the posting date of this Weibo post is eight months ago."

"If you say the picture can be faked, then how do you explain the evidence on Weibo? Even if I am omnipotent, I couldn't possibly make the Weibo platform tamper with the time for me, right?"
