Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Plagiarism Incident, Film Emperor Qin’s Shortcomings Online
The number of views on her profile had always been high.
This particular post was quickly discovered by most netizens.
“Yes, you’re the only one. (Smile)”
“No, you’re not human.”
“…”
This Weibo didn’t attract many people’s attention at first.
The netizens soon climbed to Beijing Association and a large number of people went to see their official blog. After reading Master Wei’s blog, they were all amazed.
“I finally know why Teacher Hai gave the advanced hint to Qin Ran without saying a word.”
“Same. I’ve already knelt down.”
“…”

Continent M.
Qin Xiuchen’s manager also scrolled through qr’s hot comments every day.
She had many fans at Beijing University.
Almost every day, someone would take pictures of her going to the cafeteria.
Today, the manager clicked on her profile as usual and immediately saw the popular violin video.
When Film Emperor Qin came back, the manager was sitting on the chair. He handed Qin Xiuchen a thermos cup with one hand and his phone with the other, smiling. “Take a look.”
“What is it?” Qin Xiuchen drank the cup of water and flipped through Weibo.
After clicking on the video and watching it, he also smiled, clicked on his own big account, and forwarded the video.
The manager didn’t restrict him from posting and also forwarded it. “Your niece is very impressive.”
“Of course.” Instead of exiting Weibo, he clicked on the video again. Leaning against the chair, he rewatched it with a big smile.
Because Film Emperor Qin forwarded it, Qin Ran’s violin video traffic reached its peak.

Qin Ran was as busy as usual in the laboratory at this time.
Little did she know that there was another storm on the Internet.
Nan Huiyao and the others weren’t part of the laboratory and couldn’t enter with her. They were in the comprehensive building opened for them by President Jiang, in the classroom where Qin Ran previously did her experiments.
They had lots of things to get in contact with in the early stages, and Qin Ran had asked them to extract a few elements to test radiation.
She used special experimental equipment as a reactor in Scholar Liao’s laboratory.
At noon.
The four of them went to the cafeteria next to the laboratory.
“Ran Ran, you’re famous now.” Sitting by the window, Nan Huiyao watched as Qin Ran wore her scarf and hat, but was still recognized by the people passing her by. She couldn’t help but sigh.
She reached out to show her the hot search. “You’ve been in the top 3 hot searches since last night.”
The number 1 hot search had now changed from Qin Ran to “Film Emperor Qin forwards his niece’s Weibo”.
More netizens clicked on it because of Film Emperor Qin.
Casually holding her chopsticks, Qin Ran pushed a document to Chu Heng with her other hand. “This is the result of the experiment I did this morning. Look at its diffraction wavelength later.”
While eating, Chu Heng took the document. “Okay.”
Although they were freshmen, under Qin Ran’s guidance and Chu Heng’s seriousness, their project was progressing rather well.
Nan Huiyao only checked Weibo at noon. Seeing that they were still discussing the project, she touched her nose, closed Weibo, and joined the discussion with them.

Naturally, they didn’t know that at this time, “qr”‘s profile had new comments appearing.
The popularity of Qin Ran’s Weibo had maximized and many people were here to watch the show. Under Qin Yu’s deliberate control, many fans of Yan Xi also came in.
“Wait, I also think this original song is a little familiar.”
“Speaking of which, any die-hard fans of Brother Yan?”
“Hey, I know what you’re talking about. Wait, let’s talk privately on Weibo.”
“…”
Yan Xi’s early debut songs were few, especially “Return to Silence”, which had never been included in an album nor been uploaded to major music apps.
Only his earliest fans knew this song that Yan Xi insisted on recording. These early fans didn’t know the reason behind it and only knew how different and special this song was that he didn’t put it on his own list.
With Qin Ran’s increased traffic and the deliberate guidance of Qin Yu, many people listened to her song a few more times and found something wrong.
In Beijing University’s Art Department’s practice room.
Putting her violin aside, Qin Yu went to the bathroom and clicked on Weibo.
Driven by the Internet ghostwriters and a few die-hard fans, a link to the song “Return to Silence” was posted.
The story of the release of the track was posted by his early fan, “River Flow.”
The hot search on Weibo began to change again, and Yan Xi’s “Return to Silence” climbed up.
Closing the compartment door, Qin Yu stared at it for a long time, then exited, and looked at her photo album. The photo album had a music score she had picked out for comparison…
She had spent several days working on it even more seriously than her fan previously.
Looking down and her eyelashes drooping slightly, she stood in the cubicle thinking for a long time. Instead of logging into her account to release the composition, she opened the comment area and clicked on “River Flow’s” profile.
Then, she sent her the music scores through a private message.
“River Flow” was one of Yan Xi’s early fans.
She was a huge fan and originally adored Qin Ran, but who knew that she would hear Yan Xi’s “Return to Silence” in Qin Ran’s original song.
She had originally suspected it was a coincidence. After all, Yan Xi’s fans still harbored a sort of gratitude towards Qin Ran.
However, after seeing the professional music scores sent by Qin Yu, the group of sensible fans directly exploded.
This professional comparison music scores picked up all the plagiarized parts and proved that it was no coincidence. No matter the genre, the middle tune, or the repertoire, points of deliberate imitation were prevalent.
River Flow: “Everyone, strictly control yourselves. Yan Xi is friends with Film Emperor Qin. He might try to save his face. What we have to do is to blow this matter up without involving him.”
The comparison music scores were circulated among Yan Xi’s fans, and they first attacked Film Emperor Qin and Qin Ran—
The hot search changed again.
“Plagiarism by Film Emperor Qin’s niece”
“Film Emperor Qin’s character setup collapsed”
The Weibo reposted by Film Emperor Qin this morning became all the netizens’ target.
“Film Emperor Qin, did you know about your niece’s plagiarism?”
“I hope you can give us an explanation!”
“Otherwise, we’ll curse you forever.”
Film Emperor Qin’s fans defended him. “This matter has nothing to do with Film Emperor Qin. I hope fans won’t rise to…”
“…”
Yan Xi’s fans were very loyal, and few people went to his Weibo to make trouble. Because no news came from Qin Ran’s Weibo, they put all the gunfire on Film Emperor Qin’s.

Continent M.
Qin Xiuchen was still filming when his manager’s phone started ringing frantically.
He took it out and glanced at it while in the studio.
After walking outside, he picked it up, feeling puzzled. “What’s the emergency?”
Since Qin Xiuchen was filming in Continent M, he didn’t believe the staff would contact him unless there was an emergency.
“Is Film Emperor Qin there? Something happened to his little niece!” the worker on the other end hurriedly said.
Hearing that it was about Qin Ran, the manager’s heart thumped fiercely. “Speak slowly, what’s going on?”
The staff member briefly explained the hot search. “Someone must be behind this. The plagiarism comparison chart came out too quickly as if it was deliberate marketing. That person must have bought ghostwriters. I can’t control the comment sections!”
“I’ll deal with this matter. Don’t call Film Emperor Qin first and don’t let him find…”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiuchen came out from behind him. Because he was tall and had long legs, he directly pulled the phone from the manager. “What can’t I find out?”
The phone was directly pulled out of the manager’s hands.
He clicked on his Weibo account to his team account. Even though the comments had been controlled by the team, his Weibo post was still occupied by Yan Xi’s fans and the ghostwriters. The most popular comment had changed—
“Film Emperor Qin, why don’t you delete the video and forward it to Yan Xi to apologize?”
Qin Xiuchen casually glanced through it.
He clicked on another Weibo—
Redemption: “What the f*ck! Her own song is plagiarized, but she still forced @Qin Yu to leave? Does she own the Beijing Association? Her character is as such, guys. Film Emperor Qin not only didn’t come out to apologize for his niece, he even forwarded the video to his Weibo? Does he think we won’t find out about the plagiarism? So arrogant. I wonder if Film Emperor Qin feels like he just slapped himself in the face. His character setup has collapsed. I hope his niece returns to her senses…”
After understanding the matter, he sneered and looked at the manager. “Bring me my phone.”
The manager paused.
Film Emperor Qin stared at him with a calm expression. “Bring it.”
The manager quickly handed him his phone and said, “Don’t mess around, I’ll handle this matter. Don’t make a statement…”
Without answering, Film Emperor Qin left with his phone and carried on filming.
Staring at his back, the manager felt inexplicably uneasy.
At the same time, those watching the show on Weibo saw this—
On Film Emperor Qin’s homepage, under the comment section of the post made by Redemption, asking Film Emperor Qin and Qin Ran to apologize, were these words—
“I’m not deleting, get out.”
