Chapter 201: with translation of title

After figuring out this problem, Ma Zheke no longer had the worries he had at the start.

He arrogantly looked at Jiang Cheng and said: "Does the truth matter? What's the big deal if it's exposed? It's just that everyone online scolds me; aren't there fewer people scolding me now?"

"I really don't care; go ahead and bite me!"

Jiang Cheng leaned back in his chair, gave a cold laugh, looked at Ma Zheke and said: "Are you too naive? You think I care about your reputation? You've already given up your reputation—do you still care about it?"

Ma Zheke pouted: "What can you do to me?"

Jiang Cheng said: "You took Han Xiaoxun's money, right?"

"He voluntarily gave it to me; he wanted to be a saint, I let him do it to help him—what's the problem?!"

"You're committing fraud."

Ma Zheke snorted, turned his face away and said: "I didn't deceive him; he voluntarily gave me money, I have chat records showing he voluntarily funded me, we signed an agreement!"

Jiang Cheng said: "Victims of fraud always voluntarily give money to the scammer."

"But I didn't deceive him!"

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "You indeed didn't deceive him before, and Han Xiaoxun voluntarily gave you money; her reason for giving you money was to support you, but now you're denying it, saying it's not support—then this is fraud."

Ma Zheke's face changed, and he said: "So what then!"

"Nothing much, hand it over to the lawyer."

"As a disadvantaged student, your family conditions are surely not great; getting into Modu Daxue shows you've struggled, so I suppose this university's diploma could change your fate."

Jiang Cheng said slowly, his eyes fixed on Ma Zheke's face.

"But you haven't graduated yet; if your criminal facts are established, you likely won't get your diploma, so up to now all your efforts would be wasted, and your fate remains unchanged."

"Even if someone gave you some money this time, it's a one-time thing and will eventually run out."

"Then what do you want?"

"Record a video apology, state the facts to clarify."

Jiang Cheng said that, then got up and left.

"Wait a moment."

Ma Zheke shouted from the private room, but Jiang Cheng didn't pause, directly taking Chu Siqi and leaving.

Actually, if we really wanted to involve a lawyer, it's uncertain whether we could charge Ma Zheke with fraud, and the process would also be very lengthy.

Simply having Han Xiaoxun expose the facts would definitely provoke Ma Zheke to resist, leading to endless wrangling, each side claiming righteousness, and with behind-the-scenes manipulators, the situation would become even more convoluted.

That's why Jiang Cheng came to find Ma Zheke; the quickest way was to have Ma Zheke voluntarily step forward to clarify.

…

In Huang Zhengming's company, he was holding a meeting.

Huang Zhengming sat in the main seat of the meeting room, holding a cigar in his hand, leaning back in the chair with his legs crossed.

"Director Huang, the two people from Qingman Entertainment have been settled."

"They can come to the office to report this afternoon; the compensation contract has already been handed to the legal department."

To Huang Zhengming's left, a lackey in a suit with a big slicked-back hairstyle said.

He also looked like a high-ranking company official.

Huang Zeming put the cigar in his mouth, clapped and said: "Very good."

At that moment, a person on his right said: "Han Xiaoxun's side still refuses to back down."

"Should we take things a step further?"

Huang Zhengming took a puff of his cigar, exhaled, narrowed his eyes and said: "No rush, let the bullet fly a bit longer; she can't hold out."

Then Huang Zhengming added: "It's a pity this time; we let that big fish, Jiang Cheng, get away."

The big-haired lackey on his left also sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Jiang Cheng really has some talent; he managed to turn this situation around—quite impressive."

Huang Zeming shook his head: "No rush, step by step; I've taken a liking to him, and he will eventually be mine."

The office door was pushed open, and a female secretary said: "Lao ban, something happened with Ma Zheke's side—he posted a clarification video!"

Huang Zhengming frowned.

The others in the meeting room immediately took out their phones, and soon someone found Ma Zheke's short-video account: "Let me take a look!"

Huang Zhengming snatched the phone from the person beside him!

The more he looked, the fiercer his expression became.

Finally, in anger he slapped the table: "Priamu! This idiot takes money from both sides and does nothing!"

"I'm going to sue him now!" the big-haired lackey said.

Huang Zhengming said: "Does it matter whether we sue him or not? The point is he messed things up!"

The meeting room fell silent; after a while Huang Zhengming let out a laugh and said: "If it's bad, it's bad; no big deal, anyway it was just a casual move, they can't trace it back to me—let him vent for now."

Then Huang Zhengming said to the person beside him: "They're just small-time players; you focus on the main target, keep an eye on Qingman Entertainment, and there are a few I've named that we haven't poached yet—you need to step up your efforts."

"Alright, Director Huang!"

"Received, Director Huang!"

!

…

On Jiang Cheng's side, he brought Chu Siqi back to the studio and immediately called Si Ling, who is Su Manyao's best friend.

"Little brother, you finally deigned to call your sister; are you missing her?"

From the other end of the line came Si Ling's sweet and soft voice.

"Can you stop affecting your voice? Even if you fake it, it's not as nice as Manyao's."

"You're asking to die, aren't you!"

Beep beep beep.

The phone was hung up directly.

Jiang Cheng picked up the phone again and called back.

You dead straight man, say what you have to say.

Jiang Cheng said: "Indeed, there is something I need your help with, sis."

Speak.

Did you see the news saying my song was plagiarized? I want you to help me find the original author who accused me of plagiarizing my song, and buy the song from him.

Si Ling said: "Finding him is actually simple, and I've been following him before; he's actually from Modu, but buying the song from him will likely be impossible—he probably won't sell, after all the news is fake."

Jiang Cheng said: "I know, you also have a way..."

Then Jiang Cheng taught Si Ling the method.

…

Inside a leisure club in Modu.

Li Gao was enjoying the ultimate service.

He is a singer and also a composer, but nowadays there are too many singers.

Few people want to make a living by singing.

Li Gao is one of those who can make a living by singing, but that's all.

However, this time he took on a very good job, and it paid off in one go; for Li Gao, that's how it was.

Anyway, the initial trial doesn't matter; it's just spreading rumors, spreading rumors doesn't require compensation, sit two years then sit two years.

Li Gao had already prepared himself to serve two years in prison.

Just then, his phone rang.

Upon answering, a very pleasant woman's voice came from the phone, a voice that made his bones go soft.

May I ask if this is Mr. Li Gao?

Yes, it's me. Who are you?

This SIM card is newly issued by Li Gao; only very few people know his phone number. (End of chapter)
