From abandoned baby to CEO

Chapter 316 Operating without a License

Sun Xue was confused by the police station staff?

"What kind of fraud case? Are you mistaken?" She was confused.

"Don't be nervous, we haven't decided yet. We have received reports from many classmates that the magazine you founded charges unreasonable fees in the form of an essay contest. I hope you can go with us to the police station to cooperate with our investigation."

Along the way, Sun Xue could not figure out that from the beginning of the magazine to the present, she had never held any essay contest, let alone charged any fees.

This is simply groundless!

When the staff at the police station brought the content of an essay competition in a magazine to Sun Xue, Sun Xue was immediately dumbfounded.

She clearly saw that the organizer of the essay competition was the magazine "Youth Sailing" she founded.

What surprised Sun Xue even more was that the prize money for the essay competition was very attractive. The first prize is 5,000 yuan, the second prize is 3,000 yuan, and the third prize is 1,000 yuan.

Moreover, there are a large number of places for each award, and the essay collection is open to all current technical secondary school students.

The information for the essay competition was released two months ago, and the submission address is the "Youth Dance" studio in Quancheng City. When Sun Xue saw the detailed address, he immediately discovered the problem.

There is a slight difference between this address and the address of my studio. You really can't find it if you don't look carefully.

Sun Xue immediately said decisively: "This must have been done by someone else. You can see that the address is wrong. The address of our studio is No. 99 Huanghe Road, and the address above is No. 99 Jianshe Road."

Sun Xue continued: "I have never advertised an essay contest in any magazine, and I have never charged anyone a penny."

The staff member said slowly: "After we received the alarm, we also searched at this address. However, No. 99 Jianshe Road is a private residence. The landlord said that the resident was a middle-aged man, but he had moved out half a month ago. Yes. We searched for this person based on the identity information registered by the household, and found that he registered with false information."

The staff member continued: "This case involves a relatively large amount of money, involving hundreds of students from dozens of technical secondary schools in more than a dozen provinces. Finally, we found you based on the organizer of the essay competition."

It turned out that the scammer published information about the essay competition two months ago in the name of Sun Xue Magazine and set up high bonuses to attract students from technical secondary schools to submit articles. All students who submitted articles received award notifications of different levels, and then received fees ranging from 100 to 300 yuan for various reasons such as producing award certificates.

Unexpectedly, many students sent money to scammers for the attractive bonuses. Although it is only a few hundred yuan, hundreds of people add up to a large amount of money.

Sun Xue spent the whole afternoon taking notes at the police station. Although she felt that she had been wronged, she could not miss out on any legal procedures that should be followed.

It was already dark when I went back after finishing the notes.

Thinking about it, I haven't finished a lot of work yet, and I encountered such a terrible thing again. Half a day was wasted like this, and Sun Xue felt extremely distressed.

What she didn't expect was that she would be called to the police station three more times in the next week. The case is still under investigation and she must cooperate with the investigation work of the police station staff at any time.

All of a sudden, her life was disrupted, and there were many things in the magazine waiting for her to do.

Immediately afterwards, she received many letters. Those students who were uninformed and deceived came together to denounce her. He said she was a big liar and would do anything for money.

Many classmates even spoke rudely, and the curse words in their letters were very unpleasant and unsightly.

Soon, Sun Xue received a pile of denunciation letters in order to clear his name. Sun Xue replied to her classmates one by one, patiently explaining in her letters that she was not responsible for the scam, but was being defrauded by others under her own name.

After all, these deceived classmates are also innocent and have been loyal readers of my magazine this year.

In fact, if Sun Xue thought about it carefully, if the students who were deceived were more careful, they would definitely discover this scam.

If your own magazine wants to hold an essay competition, you should publish the essay notice in your own magazine. Why publish it in other magazines?

Perhaps the reason why many students were fooled was because they were attracted by the attractive bonuses designed by scammers.

Letters of condemnation are still being sent, because the time for remittances was basically concentrated half a month ago. After they remitted the money to the scammer, they all received the award certificates one after another, but they still did not receive the bonus.

Later I found out that I had been deceived, so there was a concentrated denunciation of the magazine.

Sun Xue had no time to take care of other things. She was either replying to the deceived classmates or going to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

Later, there were too many letters that needed to be answered, and Sun Xue felt bad immediately when she saw these letters.

She simply chose to turn a blind eye.

However, the matter was far from over, and she was invited to the police station again.

When the police station staff asked Sun Xue to show her publishing business license and other documents, she was dumbfounded again.

She knew something was wrong. When she and Su Di founded the magazine, because the conditions were not met, they affiliated themselves with a small publishing house.

At that time, the two people's idea was to wait for the magazine to become bigger and stronger before applying for these procedures, but they did not expect that this would lead to hidden dangers.

Seeing that Sun Xue couldn't come up with any formalities, the staff member immediately said seriously: "Little girl, I didn't realize that you are very courageous. Do you know what you are doing?"

Sun Xue shook her head indifferently, she knew that the matter seemed a bit serious.

"You are operating without a license. If the circumstances are serious, you will be held criminally responsible!"

Sun Xue panicked and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake: "I don't quite understand this!"

"It's a good thing to run a magazine, but you must know the rules, and you can't be opportunistic or do anything random!"

Sun Xue nodded and said: "I understand!"

Sun Xue didn't know much about this matter, and it was handled by Su Di at the time.

Sun Xue thought that she had not broken the law, so maybe she could just be criticized and educated. However, she did not expect that this matter was more serious than she thought.

"Your behavior has constituted a violation of the law and a case will be filed against you. The publishing administration department and the industrial and commercial administration department will also investigate you."

Upon hearing the words of the investigators, Sun Xue's head exploded.

She quickly explained: "Uncle, I really didn't break the law. I just want to start a magazine of my own."

"Little girl, I also know that your intentions are good, but your behavior is already illegal. You will learn from mistakes. Remember, you must not be opportunistic in anything you do in the future, and you must abide by the law."
