Chapter 906 Are you the boss or is he the boss?

These people were spoiled by Wu Hongcai in the past and have long lost their own awareness of their own capabilities.

What good can come of their speaking out in front of the Public Security Bureau?

All the people were locked up and not released until the trial was about to begin.

Because the authors usually go to court to sue them within a day or two, their court sessions are very concentrated.

Wu Hongcai also attended the trial on the day. Not only did he not protect them, but he also cleared himself of all charges.

"Plagiarism is their own behavior and has nothing to do with our magazine."

"Our journal is not responsible and will not compensate you. At most, we apologize for our mistakes in reviewing the manuscript."

"In the future, our magazine will be more strict in reviewing the manuscripts published by authors, and will never let such a thing happen again!"

As a result of the final trial, Wu Hongcai apologized to the original author and made a small amount of compensation, and the matter was over.

The authors he gave up on were severely punished because they could not pay compensation for plagiarism.

There is no financial compensation, and the only option is direct sentencing.

These authors never imagined that plagiarizing a manuscript would have such serious consequences.

Some people in court burst into tears when they heard the verdict.

They never imagined that the consequences of plagiarism would be so serious.

Some people were still howling in the United States when they were taken away, regretting what they had done before.

After the plagiarism case was settled, the next thing they did was to destroy and smash up Wu Hongcai's magazine to get compensation.

None of them have any special talents and they survive on the little royalties they earn every month.

Every time they get their royalties, they spend them on eating and drinking lavishly and basically cannot save any money.

Some people have families and their money is spent by their family members.

Now they are all single, so they just smashed Wu Hongcai's magazine.

In the end, he could only go to jail to compensate for his losses, but for Wu Hongcai, such punishment was far from enough.

He didn't want them to go to jail, he just wanted them to pay the money.

He never thought that they would not be able to come up with the money, which would eventually lead to him suffering heavy losses.

After these people's cases were settled, the only cases left were those of Wu Hongcai and other authors.

In order to save three people, he had to become the defendant himself.

There have been so many cases during this period that he has actually become a little numb.

He just sat in the dock, listening to them list the evidence bit by bit, and then expressed his demands.

Wu Hongcai listened to their various requests for adjusting the invention, and silently calculated the amount of compensation he would have to pay.

In fact, he already felt a little regretful at this time. If he had known this would happen, he would not have saved those people.

But when he thought about their relationship with him, and in order to avoid being stabbed in the back when he returned, he had no choice but to agree to the compensation with great reluctance.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because their magazine has not had good sales recently, they haven’t published many issues.

In this way, the impact will not be very large, and the amount of compensation will not be particularly large.

The compensation from one company was not much, but the compensation from the three companies combined still made him feel he couldn't afford it.

Wu Hongcai had no choice but to sell a house at a low price to barely solve the problem.

All three cases came to an end. Thanks to Wu Hongcai's active compensation, the three people he saved did not receive any punishment in the end.

They simply apologized to the original author in court and said they would never do such a thing again. They didn't even have to go to jail, and the matter was left unresolved.

Wu Hongcai had just breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the court, but he didn't expect to receive a letter as soon as he returned to the magazine.

He has been through a lot recently and is now physically and mentally exhausted.

He felt that the letter that came at this time must be no good, and originally did not want to read it.

But when he saw the signature on the envelope, it was clearly written the name of Editor-in-Chief Zhang.

He opened it with curiosity, and saw a scene that he would never forget.

What Chief Editor Zhang sent him were the covers of the manuscripts he had received, as well as a small portion of the manuscript content.

When Wu Hongcai saw the names of his relatives and friends clearly written on these manuscripts, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"How could it be? How could this happen?"

Wu Hongcai always thought that they only provided articles for him and he was the only way out.

He didn't expect that they had already submitted the work to someone else without his knowledge.

Moreover, the person who submitted the manuscript was Editor-in-Chief Zhang. They all knew about the past between the two parties, yet he still submitted the manuscript to his arch-enemy.

When Wu Hongcai thought about the money and time he had spent to keep them, he became furious.

During this period of time, he spent a lot of money and resources and finally solved the problem.

Now he just wanted to take a good breath, but he didn't expect to be stabbed in the back.

If he hadn't saved them before, he might not have been so sad about being stabbed in the back by them.

Now the money and time have been spent, and my heart is completely broken.

Wu Hongcai's emotions have been fluctuating greatly during this period, which has had a great impact on his body.

Now that he encountered such a big blow again, he just felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Wu Hongcai's legs went weak and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Before he fainted, he recalled the past.

When Editor-in-Chief Zhang first joined their magazine, he was full of energy and was in charge of all matters inside and outside the magazine.

At that time he didn't have to worry about anything. All he had to do every day was drink tea and count money.

He didn't know when it started, but he felt that his role as a boss was becoming less and less important.

So he always assigned all kinds of unreasonable tasks to Editor-in-Chief Zhang.

Even if Chief Editor Zhang is a little unhappy about work, he will still do his job without complaint.

Wu Hongcai felt that this was not a good idea and he felt very uncomfortable.

It happened that one time when he went back, someone toasted him at the dinner table and tried hard to please him, just to get one of his manuscripts to their magazine.

Although Wu Hongcai felt that this was a bit wrong, he felt very proud when he heard others flatter him.

He gradually lost himself in this feeling, but still spoke righteously with a straight face.

"Our editor-in-chief is very strict in reviewing manuscripts. No one is allowed to get manuscripts in through the back door. This is what we agreed on before. I really can't make it easier for you."

After Wu Hongcai said this, he put down his wine glass. He didn't expect that what was waiting for him was everyone's contempt and abuse.

"What the hell? You're the boss of a magazine, but you can't even make such a decision."

"As a boss, do you have to consider your employees' opinions before you do anything? This is too outrageous if anyone tells others about it."

"That's right, are you the boss or is he the boss? Can you act like a boss and accept this manuscript?"
