Chapter 904 Smashed Your Magazine
What Wu Hongcai said was totally brainless.
He has no ability, but wants to have it all. When he can't think of a solution himself, he asks Editor-in-Chief Zhang to help him.
He clearly came here to ask for help, but he still acted condescending.
People who don’t know might think that Editor-in-Chief Zhang is his subordinate, gets paid by him, and therefore has to listen to him.
"Since Boss Wu has already made up his mind, there is no need to ask me."
"Just do whatever you want to do. Why do you need me, an outsider, to make the decision for you?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang already knew what he was thinking, and would choose to protect those ungrateful people until the very last moment.
"I was thinking that since you are quite smart, it would be better to ask you to help with some ideas."
"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person and I can't protect everyone."
"If this happened to my authors, and they were not clean, I would definitely push them out without hesitation."
"I told you before that plagiarism will never be tolerated."
"You even accused me of being nosy and got angry with me because of this matter."
"When I was here, I was able to control the situation. Now I am gone with a clean slate. You made the decision yourself, so of course you have to take the consequences yourself."
"If you want to keep them, you'll have to bear it all yourself."
"You come to me now. To be honest, I don't need to help you. I have already done my best to give you some advice."
"Since you don't want to listen, why should I waste my breath on you?"
"Wu Hongcai, you know that I left in an undignified manner, and you also know that I am resentful of you, so you shouldn't come to me now."
"I have nothing more to say to you, please leave now."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang rudely drove Wu Hongcai away. Wu Hongcai had come here with great difficulty and had spent 100 yuan to get here. How could he be willing to leave now?
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, I know you have a lot of connections and you have your own solutions to these problems, so I came to you."
"Don't be so cruel to me. Talk to me carefully. Maybe you can convince me successfully."
Wu Hongcai refused to leave and insisted that Editor-in-Chief Zhang help him.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang had known for a long time that once he came, he would definitely stick around and would not leave no matter what.
He asked Xiaomei to bring Wu Hongcai to this office because he didn't want to disturb everyone's work.
"You want this and that, how can I arrange it for you?"
"Among these plagiarizing authors, aren't there a few you really want to discard?"
"Wu Hongcai, you can't protect all of them with your ability, so you have to make a choice among them."
"You can save some people, or pass the buck to some people, but if you really want to take all the responsibility, I can only say that you are overestimating your own abilities."
"That's all I can tell you. It's up to you how you do it."
"Don't tell me so much. After all, the opportunity is in your own hands. It depends on what you do."
"Don't try to reason with me, and don't act pitiful to me."
"In short, these are the only ways I can help you with. If you think what I said is wrong, why don't you just turn around and leave now and not listen to me?"
"Even if you sit here for a long time, can you come up with a solution?"
"Go back and take a good look at it and think about it, and you will know what to do."
After Editor-in-Chief Zhang finished saying this, Wu Hong stood up and walked out in a daze.
Hasn't he thought about the solution that Editor-in-Chief Zhang mentioned?
It’s just that the process of making choices is really too difficult.
Because Wu Hongcai was thinking about something, his steps were a little unsteady when he walked.
He stumbled down the stairs and accidentally fell to the ground.
He didn't feel any pain and got up quickly after falling.
Wu Hongcai left and made a list after returning.
He crossed out the names back and forth, and finally crossed out half of the people.
The rest are all related to him and there is absolutely no way they can be optimized.
What Wu Hongcai didn't know was that those people he left behind were the ones who ran away the fastest and hurt him the most.
Now he only wanted to protect them at all costs and find ways to get them out.
Even though it was a bit painful to bear it all by myself, at least I could hold my head high when I go back.
Wu Hongcai felt completely relaxed when he made the decision.
He received a lot of subpoenas, and he gave all the subpoenas to Huihan from those he had given up.
"Plagiarism is the author's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the magazine."
“If the original author wants to sue, he should sue the person who plagiarized, not the magazine.”
After Wu Hongcai's actions, those who sued him were a little confused.
Some of them withdrew their lawyer's letters suing the magazine and started suing the author himself instead.
Those who were originally protected by Wu Hongcai and thought they could rest easy even if they made mistakes were really dumbfounded this time.
They never expected that Wu Hongcai would just give up on them and let them confront the original author head-on.
Most of these people knew Wu Hongcai, and they rushed over in rage.
Wu Hongcai's magazine was surrounded by these people, who insisted that he explain the situation.
"Wu Hongcai, Boss Wu, we have followed you for so many years, and we are all relatives. It's a bit ungrateful for you to do this."
"Why can you protect everyone else but push us out? How can you be so biased?"
"That's right. There are so many authors being sued this time, but only a few of us received the lawyer's letter. What do you mean by doing this?"
A total of five or six people came, and they were clamoring and insisting that he give a result.
Wu Hongcai looked at these people impatiently, and finally said only one sentence: "Enough."
"Plagiarism is your own behavior. I can't pay for your behavior."
"When I told you not to copy before, you refused to listen. What's the point of saying this now?"
"It's because you insisted on plagiarizing that you ended up like this. Maybe you should reflect on the reasons instead of coming here to make trouble."
Wu Hongcai rubbed his temples tiredly, feeling irritated when he saw them.
He just wanted to know what was going on with these people?
Why don’t you realize your mistakes at all?
Could it be that he really had spoiled them over the years?
"We don't care. It was you who published our article that got us into trouble. You must be responsible for this matter to the end!"
"If you don't care about our lives, do you believe we will destroy your magazine?"
"If you want to ignore it, then ignore it all. How can you care about some things and ignore others? It doesn't make sense!"
