After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

56 Originality is questioned

Someone from Xi County immediately jumped out to question Haicheng's originality. The reason was simple: Biyu and the others had never had any original works, so how could they suddenly have such a high-level and perfect song and dance? There was serious suspicion of plagiarism or theft, or someone was helping them behind the scenes.

The spearhead was directed at Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei had anticipated this and had a plan in place, which was to refuse to admit it. "You say we didn't create the original work, so show us the evidence. Otherwise, it's a false accusation and you have to bear legal responsibility."

Xixian people: "Then what evidence do you have to prove that you are the original creator?"

Haicheng people: "We don't need proof. Whoever questions it should collect evidence. We don't question your originality."

Luzhu got to the point: "If you have such a good thing, would you be willing to give us the original copyright and attribution rights?"

People from Xi County: "Of course we are reluctant to let her go. But Ji Xiaowei will definitely be willing to let her go."

Haicheng people: "What does originality mean? Doesn't Ji Xiaowei understand?"

"Bah. Ji Xiaowei doesn't understand music, how could she possibly compose such a good song."

People from Xi County: "Ji Xiaowei doesn't understand. Her relatives do. Ji Xiaowei has said that she can decide copyright matters on behalf of her relatives."

Haicheng people: "Speak with evidence. Otherwise, stop talking nonsense."

The two sides started to argue again, and the dean had to step in to stop them: "Stop it. Since Ji Xiaowei is involved, let Ji Xiaowei tell us who wrote this program."

The director obviously hated Xiao Wei, so how could he let go of such a good opportunity? "Ji Xiao Wei, think it over first."

Someone in Xi County shouted, "Xiao Wei, are you really going to give up the original rights to someone else?"

"I know you may be short of money, and you may like money, but is this something that money can buy?"

This statement obviously implies that Xiao Wei sold the original copyright.

Haicheng people: "Pah. Is Xiaowei short of money? Who are you looking down on?"

"You can donate thousands of dollars, so why would you value money?"

Seeing that Haicheng had been fooled, he immediately retorted: "You also know that Xiaowei doesn't care about money, right? Doesn't that mean that good things can be given away casually?"

People from Xi County: "Xiao Wei is a man of high standards, and he regards fame and fortune as dirt. It is normal to give good things to people, but who would believe it if it were someone else?"

"Yes. We are not surprised at all."

This really stumped Haicheng. If they admitted that Xiaowei was a man of high moral character, they would have admitted that Xixian's doubts were reasonable. If they didn't admit it, it would be even less convincing. They didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

The people from Xi County were even more proud: "Xiao Wei. After all, we are fellow villagers. You can't be a traitor."

"That's right. It wouldn't be a good idea to help outsiders attack our own people."

Xiao Wei was organizing her words when Mao Tongxian squeezed in front of her and said, "The term fellow villager is quite broad. We can say that all Chinese people are fellow villagers. To put it in a broader sense, all people on earth are fellow villagers. Limiting fellow villagers to a small circle and using this to embarrass fellow villagers is moral kidnapping. In their hearts, they don't consider their fellow villagers as fellow villagers at all. It's better not to have such fellow villagers who don't consider their fellow villagers as fellow villagers."

Although it sounds like a tongue twister, it is said neither too fast nor too slow, and people can still understand it.

Xiao Wei echoed: "If you don't treat me as your fellow villager, then you are not my fellow villager."

The people of Xi County shouted, "We invited you to participate, but you didn't agree. You can't blame us."

Xiao Wei asked with a smile: "Then why didn't I agree? You guys won't pretend you don't know, right?"

Xi County people: "Isn't it just that you and Yinmei had some unpleasantness? It's not a big deal, can't you be more generous and forget the grudge with a smile?"

Xiao Wei snorted coldly: "Do you think wanting to kill me is a small matter? People who advise others to be magnanimous without knowing the specific situation are called hypocrites. They will be struck by lightning."

People from Xi County: "We are all from the same county, it's not that serious, did you misunderstand something?"

Xiao Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, it is not up to you to say it yourself. You can ask Haitao and the others when you have a chance."

The deliberate mention of Haitao really intimidated the people of Xi County. Among the graduates of this year's Xi County, Haitao's grades were not among the top ten, but he had the most say.

The right to speak comes from power, and Haitao is an unmatched figure in his alma mater.

Yinmei and Haitao have not completely broken up. The reason why she was able to win over most of her classmates from Xi County is largely due to the title of Haitao's girlfriend, a title that no one dares to offend easily.

Seeing that Xiao Wei had turned the situation around with just one sentence, the director stepped forward and waved his hand: "The focus of our dispute now is the issue of originality. Xiao Wei, tell us clearly whether Haicheng's program has anything to do with you?"

Mao Tongxian interrupted immediately: "You shouldn't ask Ji Xiaowei about this, and Xiaowei doesn't need to answer. If you have evidence, just hold him accountable. Legally speaking, any answer Xiaowei gives will have no legal effect. What he says cannot represent solid evidence."

Xiao Wei nodded: "Yes. Especially for questions that are obviously fraudulent, I can refuse to answer them."

The Haicheng people turned their worries into joy: "That is to say, without solid evidence, everything is just speculation. We can't judge right and wrong based on speculation, right?"

People from Xi County: "Reasonable guesses can be used as a reference. It shouldn't be difficult to find evidence."

Haicheng: "Then wait until you find the evidence."

People from West County: "Let's see how long you can stay tough."

Haicheng people: "Threats are useless. We won't buy it. Everything depends on evidence."

Seeing that he was already in a difficult situation, the principal had to stand up and make a decision: "Since there is no solid evidence to prove that Haicheng's program is not original, it will not be considered a violation for the time being. Let's put aside the dispute and wait until we find evidence. Now I announce that the result of the art competition is that Xi County and Haicheng both tied for first place, which is a draw for both sides. There will be a poetry competition tomorrow morning, and I hope all groups will prepare well. The meeting is adjourned."

As soon as she left the venue, someone ran up to her and called Xiao Wei, asking her to go to the school affairs office, saying that the principal wanted to see her for something.

Mao Tongxian, who was walking with Xiao Wei, said, "I'll go with you."

Xiao Wei looked at him and did not object. With this guy with an incredible IQ taking care of him, he did not have to worry about any situation.

Seeing someone accompanying them, the principal was not surprised. He led them to the small conference room and asked them to sit down. "Don't be nervous. Just chat for a few minutes. You can refuse if you want."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay."

The principal paused for two or three seconds, then began to dig holes, deliberately speaking in general terms: "Do you know how good these songs are?"

Xiao Wei pretended to be a quail: "I don't know much about this."

The principal smiled and said, "With just any one of these songs, one can become famous all over the world and be admitted to a propaganda department at the provincial level or above."

Xiao Wei pretended to be surprised: "It's not that exaggerated, right?"

The principal expressed his understanding: "You may have been exposed to too many good songs, so you don't take the treasures in other people's eyes seriously. This is normal. Just like you can donate thousands of yuan, but someone says you care about a few dozen yuan. That is simply an insult to you."
