After getting on with the enemy

The middle of January this year is the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and it will be the Spring Festival in a short time. Eye-catching red lanterns are floating on the streets, and everyone is beaming with joy.

When every household is preparing for the new year, a silent battle between city A and city S begins to seesaw, and many things hidden under the gloom gradually emerge and surface one by one.

Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun ran around all day long, not only had to take care of their respective jobs and chores, but also had to communicate with the lawyer team from time to time to prepare for the upcoming lawsuit.

There is no way to live this year well, it is impossible at all, there is destined to be a long and hard battle to fight, and it will not be as peaceful as in previous years.

The dispute between Yimeng Entertainment and Huayi Technology is not just a matter of copyright infringement. It involves many complex aspects, such as plagiarism of ideas, theft of company secrets, and illegal bribery... There are more than one grievances between the two parties, and they are not limited to civil matters. There are a lot of disputes to be settled.

The proof they provided played a big role. The legal team took a breath after putting away everything. They really didn't expect Huayi Technology to be so lawless and more domineering than the bandit leader. They really ignored the law and were blatantly on the red line dance.

The team is currently working overtime and preparing for the trial. It is estimated that the court will be held after the Spring Festival, but that does not mean that everyone has to wait and do nothing. On the contrary, everyone has things that need to be done, and there is endless work Son.

More than a month is not enough time, relatively short.After all, there are too many things to deal with, and the combined manpower on both sides is less.

The second aunt told the two of them on the video call that the scope of this lawsuit is too wide and there are many people involved. Wait for everything to be settled and the dust settles. It may not be settled in a year or two.

What the team meant was to catch the main culprit first, and target the few key people they already knew, and it would not be too late to cast a net to catch everything else later.

Of course, on the other hand, it is necessary to report to the police as soon as possible.

This team has already helped Xing Yuan and the others to complete the arrangements, and relevant people from City A have come to support them. Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun also need to go to the police station in City A to make a report, and they can also help.

The two parties are doing this at the same time, and there is a professional team leading them. The efficiency is quite high, and they will not smear and smear everywhere like a blind man.

They went to the police station several times, recorded statements honestly, and cooperated with the requirements of the police comrades.

No matter how cumbersome the process is, City A and City S will eventually merge into one. This time, the police stations on both sides will work together to assist and so on.

The person leading Qiao Yan and the others is also a lawyer in the team, Second Aunt's deputy, an experienced middle-aged

A man with a gentle appearance and the appearance of a quiet scholar, but with strong professional ability and an aura of sophistication.

The lawyer gave Qiao Yan many feasible suggestions from a professional point of view, analyzed the whole case for her, and explained it in a straightforward manner, telling her what to do, how to avoid getting into subsequent disputes and troubles, and teaching her how to protect her own rights and interests.

They are all legal and reasonable suggestions, absolutely not overstepping the threshold, and all of them are safe.

Qiao Yan has no similar experience, and he doesn't know what to do about it. He always listens to lawyers and acts according to the advice of professionals.Do not deviate a bit, and resolutely do not play freely.

This is the first time in my life that I have taught people so much peace of mind, never before.

Zhou Xiyun also came according to the lawyer's plan, but kept an eye out, and would refer to it every time, and be more cautious.Because of the big moves this time, Zhou Xiyun was worried about other people, and would not fully trust outsiders, even if they were introduced by Xing Yuan.It is necessary to raise our vigilance during this period, otherwise something will go wrong, and there will be ghosts like the previous one, and we will not be blind again in the end.

Xing Yuan and the others quite supported Zhou Xiyun's idea, and this pedestrian did the same thing in S city.Now in the entire company of Yimeng Entertainment, Xing Yuan only believes in A Kai, Wen Ruyu and Zhou Xiyun, and the others are firmly worried. Even if they don't show it on the surface, they still have reservations in their hearts.

Xing Yuan probably won't come back this year for Chinese New Year, and now the new game has just been released, so he has to stay in S City to help Akai, and at the same time, he has to contact Zhou Xiyun here.

Everyone is preparing for the subsequent lawsuit, doing their best, and striving for a satisfactory result in the end.

After finishing everything in the police station, Qiao Yan asked Zhou Xiyun privately, "Will those people go to jail?"

Zhou Xiyun flipped through the computer and said, "Some will."

"It's estimated to be sentenced to several years," Qiao Yan said, rubbing against Zhou Xiyun's arm, turning his head and speaking seriously, "I checked on the Internet, and it seems to be quite serious. If the amount involved is huge, there are other circumstances and so on. Definitely haven't run in five years, and they didn't just commit one of them."

Without raising his head, Zhou Xiyun threw a blanket over her legs, and replied softly, "Well, it's roughly like this, almost."

Qiao Yan sighed and didn't know what to say.

Breaking the law and going to jail do not seem to be uncommon, as if everyone understands what is going on, and basically can come into contact with this aspect in life, no matter how bad it is, I have heard of it, and I can see it on the news, but for normal people In fact, such things are very important in daily life.

Far away, ordinary people may not be able to experience this personally after living for decades.

In Zhou Xiyun's field of work, economic crimes are not uncommon, but Qiao Yan is a person who doesn't even travel far. He used to patronize reading and playing, and was well protected by his family. Due to the joint store opening, the social circle has become smaller and smaller, and I have never seen such things.

Seeing that they were involved in this kind of trouble, Qiao Yan had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't tell what he was thinking.I'm very nervous and uneasy, I hope to settle down soon, don't be too turbulent.

In addition, the Huayi technology planner who handed over to Qiao Yan will definitely be held accountable, and it is estimated that he will face a severe sentence.

I don't know what this kind of person thinks. They don't do what they are supposed to do, but prefer to join forces and take risks.And just copy it, and even dare to post the stolen source documents, showing that you are looking for a dead end, you are stupid as hell, and you have done something bad and left the evidence to others, for fear that you will not die soon enough.

Qiao Yan spoiled the plan a few words, thanking the other party for being big and stupid, but also feeling that he has no brains.Even a fool can't do this kind of behavior, and that plan is worse than a fool.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not completely impossible to figure it out. There is no logic to speak of in reality. It may be that Huayi Technology often does that. If things go on like this, the people below don't take it seriously. Not afraid of causing trouble, the second is that the top beams in the group are not right and the bottom beams are crooked, and there are management problems. This is a thief company, and you get used to it if you steal a lot.

Qiao Yan and the others are not in the same line of work. A few people just follow the drawing, and they don't even bother to change one or two things. When they are discovered, they still act like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and just continue to make money with the cheek.

There are other cultural and creative industries as well. The creators don’t want a fig leaf, and they are unwilling to make a little modification. They just copy other people’s original works, even if the entire work is cut and cut. Very happy, even if he was discovered and hammered to death, his works are still at the top of the best-seller list all year round, and his golden signature is still valuable, and it will not affect the development of others in the slightest.

This kind of lawsuit is difficult to fight, and the outcome is uncertain.

Qiao Yan moved over, leaned back on Zhou Xiyun's back, rested his chin on the man's right shoulder, and whispered, "I hope it can end soon, and don't make trouble in the future, otherwise it will be very annoying."

Zhou Xiyun touched her face twice with his backhand, squeezed it lightly, and replied: "Don't worry, don't worry about it too much."

Qiao Yan still sighed, frowning in worry.

Qiao Yan couldn't think of what the final result would be like, so she was in a daze for a while and then lost the mood to think about it again. She just closed her eyes and leaned against Zhou Xiyun's back. After a while, she picked up her phone and looked around to find out what to buy for the New Year. go home.

I don't know if I will be able to go home this year, and I don't know if Xu Ziqing and grandma are still angry, and whether they should call home to ask.

Qiao Yan lay down listlessly, and soon clicked into a certain shopping software to place an order, no matter what 21 [-], he would buy, buy, buy, and planned to go to the mall again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to order some tea, bird's nest and so on for the elders.She stretched out her finger to poke Zhou Xiyun's slender waist, so that this person also remembered to prepare a New Year gift for the elders, don't forget.

Zhou Xiyun responded.

Also on this day, the president chatted with Qiao Yan in private, telling her about the progress of the copyright, saying that the manga club had negotiated a suitable amount for her.

The price this time is more than double that of the previous one, and the copyright company is reliable and a well-established company.They are specialized in animation over there, and they came here to negotiate with full sincerity. They intend to use this price to buy the rights to adapt comics, animations, games, etc., including online and screen movies, but they are not real people.

In short, the discussion was very detailed. The manga club is very interested in Qiao Yan's works, and hopes to sell them at a high price. It is hoped that the copyright company they cooperate with will work hard on the adaptation. This will also drive the healthy development of Qiao Yan himself and the whole manga club.

The president asked Qiao Yan to think about it seriously, and if he wanted to sell it, hurry up.

Qiao Yan didn't immediately agree. He checked the company and agreed with the company if it was really good.

Although the situation between her and Zhou Xiyun doesn't seem to be very bad now, and the impact of coming out can be tolerated, but it was her original decision to ask for the copyright, and she asked for it on her own initiative. How can she regret it later? Is it not for nothing?

Furthermore, her current financial situation itself is not good, and she is still far from being free. If it is feasible, she can sell it.

Just like what the president said before, if this goes on like this, after three to five years, the readers may have forgotten her long ago. If she can sell the copyright, if she has the opportunity to publish animation or something, she may become famous. In the future, she will also Have more options.

Qiao Yan was in a good mood, he would not go back on his word after making a decision, he would reply on the same day, and then happily shared it with Zhou Xiyun.

Girlfriend Zhou is proud of Boss Qiao, so she will cook again to celebrate immediately, ordering vegetables directly on the app, sending the delivery man to the door, and rewarding Qiao Yan with an apron.

Qiao Yan went over to help, hugged Zhou Xiyun with a smile, and said generously: "When you get rich in the future, you will follow me to eat popular food and drink spicy food. If I can eat meat, I will definitely have a mouthful of soup from you."

Zhou Xiyun smiled, said "ah", and said, "I want to eat meat too."

"That's fine," Qiao Yan readily agreed, "You can eat meat and I can drink soup, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Xiyun raised his eyebrows, looked back at her, and smacked his head with his face, and said in an intimate yet warm tone, "Later..."

Qiao Yan was stunned, extremely dull, didn't realize what was wrong with this sentence, and said directly: "Then you do it quickly, stop nagging, and work quickly."

After finishing speaking, it took a moment to react before turning the corner. My mind was jolted, and I suddenly understood.

Figured out that there was another meaning to those words, Qiao Yan wisely shut up and quickly pretended to be dead.

Zhou Xiyun raised his lips again, raised his eyelids, and looked sideways at her.

Qiao Yan felt his ears heat up, pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, and cleared his throat embarrassingly.

I'm not used to Zhou's girlfriend like this, she is usually so serious, but she suddenly spoke this way, which made her cheeky and embarrassed.

Some words are obscene, and you can't talk about them outside, but it's another kind of taste to say them between lovers.

In particular, Zhou Xiyun was very serious, and his shape was extremely positive. A beautiful face made people feel like scratching their hearts, and suddenly softened.

Qiao Yan spat at himself for being worthless, and couldn't help being ashamed, but also itchy.

Zhou Xiyun pulled her earlobe and warmed it slightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't just stand there, wash the vegetables first."

Qiao Yan came back to his senses, and said dryly "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

It was still a warm evening, as usual.

Afterwards, I watch TV to pass the time, go upstairs to take a bath together, and then do something suitable.

They deliberately turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the weak yellow light in the bathroom on, leaving a gap in the door, turning on the air conditioner and setting it to 30°C.

The two are getting more and more in tune, and no one needs to tell the other to understand.

Qiao Yan really likes that kind of atmosphere, likes Zhou Xiyun like that, like a rootless duckweed fluctuating with Zhou Xiyun's waves, ups and downs.

At the end, her upper body was still covered with a soft white towel, and her collarbone and shoulders were exposed to the stuffy air.Zhou Xiyun kissed her through the bath towel, then went up and touched her neck.

Qiao Yan leaned close to this person, An Sheng leaned closer to Zhou Xiyun's ear, and whispered, "I'm so tired..."

Soon it will be reversed again and exchanged once.This is tired and lack of energy.

According to the usual time point, it is time to rest, and you can lie on the bed and sleep peacefully. —if not for a sudden visit.

Zhou Huiwen came over in the middle of the night without notifying him in advance, so he called Qiao Yan when he arrived.

At that time, Qiao Yan was looking at the ceiling with a limp body to take a breath. Suddenly, the phone rang and found that it was Zhou Huiwen who was calling. She was so scared that she almost fell off the bed.

It was almost early morning, and the elder suddenly called, and it was Zhou Huiwen. That was really scary, Qiao Yan almost wiped out his soul.At that time Zhou Xiyun was still sitting by the bed, not fully up, and was taken aback when he saw the caller ID.

Qiao Yan raised his finger and put it in front of his mouth, and booed Zhou Xiyun, motioning to keep quiet. He answered the phone first, then turned on the loudspeaker as if nothing happened, and called out cautiously: "Aunt Zhou."

Zhou Huiwen on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense, straight to the point and explained the purpose of coming, saying that he wanted to see Zhou Xiyun and asked if he was there.

Qiao Yan dared not lie, she looked at Zhou Xiyun without knowing it, and said bravely, "Yes, she is in the room, she seems to have rested."

Zhou Huiwen was also straightforward, saying in a calm manner: "I'm here to find her." Then she hung up the phone.

Qiao Yan didn't have time to ask why the matter was so urgent, but he still had to ask the security office to let Zhou Huiwen come over.They each put on their clothes, packed up in twos and twos and went down one after the other.

Zhou Huiwen soon appeared at the door, bringing the secretary over.

Afraid of being spotted, Qiao Yan wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling, opened the door when people came, and shouted at them.Zhou Xiyun also stood beside him fully dressed, and shouted when he saw Zhou Huiwen.

Zhou Huiwen glanced at them both, but did not answer.

But the secretary saw Zhou Xiyun, and greeted him neither humble nor overbearing: "Little Mr. Zhou, good evening." Zhou Xiyun nodded in response.

Seeing that Zhou Huiwen wanted to have a private conversation with Zhou Xiyun, Qiao Yan knew that he wanted to go away, intending to make room for the mother and daughter to spend time alone.

However, Zhou Xiyun refused to let him leave, thinking that Zhou Huiwen was out of the closet again this time, so he grabbed Qiao Yan and said calmly, "You rest, I'll go later."

Zhou Huiwen's face was not very good-looking, but she still refused to accept them.

Qiao Yan quietly reached out and pulled Zhou Xiyun's clothes from behind, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's just a cup of tea, it doesn't matter who goes..."

Then he said to Zhou Huiwen forcefully: "Aunt Zhou, you talk, I'm going to make tea, sit in the room, don't stand at the door, it's cool and cold at night."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to greet Zhou Huiwen as if he was at home in the compound, and invited the secretary in, and closed the door behind him.

Zhou Xiyun insisted on letting him keep it.It's okay to be wronged last time, but not this time.

Qiao Yan was a little embarrassed. He understood Zhou Xiyun's intentions, but his scalp was numb and his heart was terrified when he was stared at by the other side.

Both the mother and daughter are in the same old way, and they have to stand in a stalemate when they meet.

Seeing her daughter protecting Qiao Yan, Zhou Huiwen frowned involuntarily, and looked straight at Zhou Xiyun holding Qiao Yan's hand.After a few seconds, it was Zhou Huiwen who spoke first and said, "If you don't want to drink tea, stay here too, Qiao Qiao."
