Chapter 864: Slander
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pan Yan was totally confused when he saw Gu Lan’s post.
“c.r.a.p! What’s going on here?”
How come Gu Lan suddenly jumped out and said that Xia Xibei had copied her song?
Oh no! She was saying that Xia Xibei stole her song!
Was this a joke?
The song was obviously written by Xia Xibei herself and had nothing to do with Gu Lan, so how could there be such an accusation?
Could it be that her account was hacked?
He immediately called Gu Lan to make her come and tell him the whole story, but he couldn’t get through as she had already blocked him.
Pan Yan was so anxious that he started pacing, confused by this sudden change of events.
“Don’t worry.”
Unlike his anxious state, Xia Xibei was calm.
“How can I not be anxious?” Pan Yan sighed fiercely, “Do you know how much this will hurt your reputation?!”
Xia Xibei’s songs were doing well. If they were characterized as
plagiarism, it would be a problem.
Even if she wrote a better song afterward, this kind of thing would affect the rest of her career.
Moreover, nowadays people valued intellectual property rights, so this kind of “plagiarism” of other people’s works as her own would definitely cause people to resent and boycott her.
The most annoying thing was that Xia Xibei didn’t copy at all!
Pan Yan had watched almost the entire process of Xia Xibei’s composition.
Moreover, Gu Lan had also been listening to the recording at the time.
If there really was a problem, why didn’t she say so?
Pan Yan didn’t believe that there was nothing fishy here!
Besides, what problems couldn’t be solved within the company?
Gu Lan didn’t say a word, just making a scene. It was too much!
“Who the h.e.l.l told her to do that?”
Pan Yan was so anxious that his face turned red.
Xia Xibei, however, was calm, her eyes serene.
“Don’t be anxious, things will be resolved soon.”
When she said this, she turned up the corner of her mouth, and a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.
She was just guessing, but she never thought it would really come true.
“You already knew about it?” Pan Yan looked at her in surprise. “You can’t have really copied…”
“What are you talking about?” Xia Xibei glanced at him. “That is indeed my work. One hundred percent mine.”
Pan Yan s.h.i.+vered at this glance from Xia Xibei.
“What the h.e.l.l does Gu Lan mean?” He couldn’t help but complain. “You were the one who said you wanted her to be your a.s.sistant before! You were the one who helped her when she had family problems. If it wasn’t for your help, how could she have been so relaxed?! Besides, she was so good when she was with you! I didn’t think it was all an act! Her acting skills are amazing!”
When Gu Lan’s family had a crisis, they were told that it was her sister who had an accident, so she even postponed starting this job.
At that time, she also advanced her salary from the company.
All of this was possible because of Xia Xibei.
When she started work, she was a good worker for Xia Xibei.
As an a.s.sistant, her performance was good.
Who would have thought that in a flash, she would backstab Xia Xibei?!
“It must be because she peeked at your work before, so she was already prepared!”
Pan Yan figured out the whole thing.
The reason why that song was published online in advance must have been because Gu Lan spied it early on.
So she had been harboring evil intentions for a long time!
Pan Yan continued to follow the online situation indignantly, becoming even angrier.
“How dare she slander you?! It’s outrageous!”
He was so angry at Gu Lan’s gall that his chest hurt.
