On August [-], after the initial review by the responsible editor, the second revision by the author, and the review by the editor-in-chief, it successfully entered the final review stage.

On August [-]th, the manuscript passed the final review, and then entered the proofreading stage, and the manuscript was transferred from the editorial department to the proofreading department.

The manuscript needs to stay in the proofreading department for nearly a week. After the proofreading is correct, the manuscript will return to the editorial department. From August [-]th to now, the manuscript has been in the proofreading department!

Su Wei told the timeline one by one, and the voice fell, and everyone in the conference room looked at Minister Li of the proofreading department and the little girl beside her.

Su Wei's complexion was deep, her eyes fixed on the girl sitting opposite her.

She has short hair around her ears, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her complexion is pale, and she seems a little nervous. Sensing everyone's attention, she quickly lowered her head and flicked through the notebook at hand with her fingers. This person is none other than "An Ling" Yao Lele, the proofreading editor of No. 88 Street.

The phone vibrated again. Gu Qiao looked down and hung up resolutely. Unexpectedly, within a second, the call came in again.

Gu Qiao frowned slightly, turned her head and said softly to the higher-ups above, then got up and left the conference room.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qiao walked quickly to the end of the corridor while answering the phone, carefully looking around.

Qiao Ranqing spoke hastily on the other end of the phone, Gu Qiao's complexion changed drastically, her eyes widened instantly, "What?!"

"you sure?!"

Gu Qiao asked, Qiao Ranqing confirmed it again and again, and hung up the phone. Gu Qiao immediately received several new messages on WeChat. He quickly clicked on it and read it carefully. He walked into the conference room without hesitation, stood beside the high-level executive, and handed the mobile phone in front of him.

The senior executives finished watching, slapped the table angrily, stood up and looked at Minister Li of the proofreading department, "How did your proofreading department do it?!"

Minister Li looked bewildered, and Yao Lele who was sitting next to him was even more at a loss.

Gu Qiao stepped forward, handed the phone to Minister Li, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This is not plagiarism, it's the leak of the manuscript!"

On the screen of the phone was a screenshot sent by Qiao Ranqing. According to the color palette made by netizens, Qiao Ranqing easily found the novel that was being serialized on the Internet. Except for various nouns such as people's names and street names, other content and plot trends are the same as the manuscript of "No. 88 Anling Street"!

Minister Li read it carefully, his face turned pale, the hand holding Gu Qiao's phone trembled slightly, his face was full of shock, and he even became hesitant to speak, "When the manuscript arrives at our proofreading department, it's... Yao Lele is in charge, it's... That's right, Yao Lele."

Yao Lele, who was sitting by the side, lowered her head, and when she heard her name, she stood up tremblingly, holding the pen in her hand tightly with her fingers, facing everyone's eyes and doubts, but avoided answering.

Su Wei didn't care about other things. Seeing that Gu Qiao's complexion was not right, she got up and walked forward. She took Gu Qiao's phone and looked at it. Her complexion suddenly became bad. She hurriedly read all the screenshots, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared. popped up.

Cao Shui is her favorite author. "No. 88 Anling Street" is the book she has been chasing after, and it is the first book she is in charge of after she officially became an editor. To her, this book is of great significance, and Now, Cao Shui has been stigmatized as "plagiarism" because of their mistakes in work. What's worse is that the manuscript leaked, which will definitely have a very bad impact on the sales of the new book after it is released.

Su Wei bit her lip, stood in front of Gu Qiao angrily, looked directly at Director Li and Yao Lele in the proofreading department, and said in an extremely unfriendly tone, with hints of anger, "Minister Li, Yao Lele, the manuscript was leaked in your proofreading department, Don't you guys give me an explanation?! Yao Lele, you are responsible for the proofreading of this book, you should be very clear about what's going on!"

Unexpectedly, Yao Lele continued to lower her head, remained silent, and adopted the principle of not refuting, not speaking, and ignoring her, just like a wooden stake.

Su Wei was in a hurry, and just about to press her further, she stretched out a hand behind her and pulled her behind her. Su Wei raised her head with a puzzled expression on her face. Gu Qiao shook her head at her, and Su Wei had to obediently stand up to Gu Qiao. Behind Qiao, his eyes were still fixed on Yao Lele.

Gu Qiao adjusted her glasses, glanced lightly at Yao Lele, then turned her head to look at the high-level executives, pretending to be suspicious: "I just received a call from Cao Shui, she found out that the manuscript was leaked, she asked us to give her an explanation, If we can't give her an explanation, she will choose to call the police, and I believe the police will give her an explanation."

The executive patted the table, turned to look at the technicians beside him, and said bluntly, "Move the surveillance video from the proofreading department, Li Min's computer, and Yao Lele's computer to the meeting room!"

At the same time, Gu Qiao and Su Wei posted a concise and powerful Weibo after discussing with colleagues from the public relations department.

"Baiwen has already seen the color palette sent by everyone, but our editorial department has already received the manuscript written by Cao Shui on August 8, and the other party published it on August 10. The specific situation , We are still investigating, please stay calm, don't believe in rumors and don't spread rumors."

Below the content of the text, there is also a screenshot of the email that Su Wei and Gu Qiao received Cao Shui's manuscript, and the time on the email is specially drawn with a red line.

As soon as the microblog was posted, #百文反应# #曹水不带破# and other related words appeared in hot searches, and there was an uproar on the Internet. Cao Shui’s Weibo fell again. However, at this time, there were three major factions on Weibo. One faction supports Cao Shui’s lack of plagiarism, another faction insists that Cao Shui plagiarized, and the last faction is the onlookers who do not stand in line or express their views.

Questions poured in. Many netizens suspected that the email screenshots sent by Baiwen were forged and used to deceive netizens after post-production. There is no trace of post-production, in other words, these two pictures are real.

Netizens were puzzled, since Cao Shui finished writing the manuscript first, why did the same text appear on the Internet? !Could it be that this person is the vest of God Cao Shui? !Some people also suggested that Cao Shui's manuscript may have been leaked, so it was stolen and posted on the Internet.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Baiwen still carried out the investigation work in an orderly manner.

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Su Wei tugged at Gu Qiao's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Did you really say you want to call the police?!"

Although she has not been in contact with Cao Shui for a long time, Su Wei feels that Cao Shui is not someone who will easily call the police. Moreover, when she communicates with Cao Shui, Cao Shui has always been very talkative and will listen to her comments on this book. They have opinions on what content to change, how to make it better, they are all open to discussion, and they will not ignore her opinions just because she is a new editor, let alone play big names...

Gu Qiao smiled slightly, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, she smiled without saying a word, Su Wei was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately reacted, eyebrows and eyes curved, and said softly, "A fox pretends to be a tiger."
