Chapter 1038 TuTu Plays the Victim

Tutu thought for a long time, didn't even eat much dinner, and it wasn't until late at night that she finally came up with a retort.

The two Weibo posts made by Wen Qi Jun are not enough to prove that she plagiarized Sheng Ge.

Also, considering that for so long, Wen Qi Jun has only posted these two Weibo updates and hasn't shown any other signs of activity, it seems likely there is no further evidence.

Thus, Tutu drafted a rebuttal on the document, revising and checking it many times until she was satisfied. Then, she posted the content on Weibo.

Tu Tutu You: Hello everyone, I'm Tu Tutu You. Since the 'plagiarism' incident was exposed, I have been living in misery every moment. I can't sleep for days and nights, and my emotions are extremely anxious. I don't understand why this happened.

Regarding the two Weibo posts with evidence released by Mr. Wen Qi, CEO of Wens Group, I want to explain.

First, there was that surveillance video. That day, I went to the comic book company to find Jian Deng, the editor-in-chief, about publishing a single volume of my manga. As I passed by Jun Lan, the deputy editor-in-chief's office, I saw he had an online shopping page open. I saw a skirt I liked quite a bit, so I thought I’d take a picture of it and search for it online later when I got back home.

It's not like what the video said, on the cover of the manga "Sheng Ge" that was secretly taken.

Both Shengge and I are writers for Chuang Shen Comics, we wouldn't fleece our own sheep.

Plagiarism is like destroying one's future. How could I, for the sake of a simple cover image, ruin my promising future

Second, I want to explain about the screenshot of the email picture I sent to Jian Deng that Mr. Wen posted.

When I learned about the single-volume release, I was thrilled and brimming with inspiration. I quickly sketched out several cover designs, wanting to use every single one! I don't know if other artists in the comics community have this habit, but I definitely do.

This time, for the publication of the single-volume edition, I drew three cover illustrations in total. Initially, the one I was most satisfied with was the illustration submitted by Jian Deng, the editor-in-chief, and it was also approved by the internal meeting review at the comics publishing house.

As for the other two cover images, I thought they wouldn't be used and even shared them in a fan group. However, since the group was managed by a long-time fan of mine, recently this manager had an argument with my close friend, who is also the leader of the fan club. The other party got angry and disbanded the group, and even turned against me. This incident made me feel upset for several days.

After submitting the initial cover, I had some free time so I refined and colored the other two cover art pieces. Later, I realized that the artwork on the back looked better, so I discussed with the editor of Jian Deng (劍燈), expressing my desire to change the cover image.

However, the Sword Lamp editor-in-chief said that they will be sending the manuscript to the publisher for printing in the next two days and there's not enough time to make changes. If they go through the manga editorial review process, it will delay the printing schedule.

But I insisted on changing it, thinking a more beautiful picture would be better, even if I didn't have the manga club's permission, it wouldn't be a big deal; in the end, Jian Deng, the editor-in-chief, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it first and explain later," he would explain to the higher-ups afterwards.

I want to say that I did not plagiarize Shengge.

As for why the cover of Shengge resembles mine so much, it can only be explained by coincidence; Jian Deng's editor-in-chief had also worked with Shengge before, and maybe some of their ideas coincided with mine.

I called Shengge last night and told her that we should work together to calm things down.

It might have been Sheng Ge's words at the end of the phone call that angered my best friend, causing her to post our call recording online after I was resting, creating a huge uproar.

It was my fault. In the heat of the moment, I didn't manage the behavior of those around me well.

After sleeping for three or four hours, I saw what was happening online and had a big fight with my best friend. I told her she shouldn't have done that, but she called me "a dog biting Lu Dongbin" and said she wanted to break up with me.

Immediately following that, I saw two Weibo posts from Ms. Wen, the CEO of Wen Corporation, accusing me of plagiarism for "Singing in the Wind."

I feel like I've suddenly fallen into an abyss, my whole body is freezing, even typing now, my hands are shaking.

Because I'm well aware that a large family conglomerate like the Wens, crushing a small cartoonist like me would be easier than squashing an ant.

Perhaps in no time, I would be found guilty of plagiarism. Perhaps from then on, I could never hold a pen again and present the story "The Great Demon Lord" to the fans who loved it so much.

From a young age, I felt like I was born to draw. I even thought that if I couldn't draw comics in the future, life would be meaningless.

These two days of events, this thought is becoming more and more intense. I feel like I can't get through this difficulty.

I'm very sorry and deeply saddened, I apologize to my fans who support me!

Moreover, I apologize to Sheng Ge for the actions of previous fans.

……

After "apologizing to fans for Shēng Gē," Tǔ Tǔ wrote a bunch of emotionally charged and regretful words, similar to a farewell message.

This article, with its veiled deflection of responsibility and emotionally manipulative tone, has caused many young, immature fans to cry directly in the comments.

'Hugs, TuTu, we'll always be by your side, even if you end up being labeled a 'plagiarist' in the end, we still believe in you and support you!'

'Wow! I'm about to cry. Seeing the one I love being trampled and humiliated right before my eyes, yet I am powerless to do anything.'

'Suddenly, I especially dislike those radical and crazy brain-dead fans who exposed Shengge's personal information and threatened her personal safety. This forced TuTu to apologize for something that wasn't her fault and even attracted the attention of capitalists. I think TuTu has so many fans, it's impossible for her to control everyone. The capitalists should hold those cyberbullying brain-dead fans accountable instead of bothering TuTu.'

'If Shengge can't finish painting 《The Great Demon King》, from now on, she won't be allowed to draw comics anymore. Then I will use my life to protest against the cruelty and ruthlessness of Wen's capitalist family, who bully others with their power and destroyed our Tututu Dada's dream.'

“……”

Wen Ping Sheng waited until late at night, but there was still no movement from Tu Tu's side. Just as he was about to put down his phone, a special notification popped up.

Yes, in order to be the first to taste the first bite of watermelon, she paid special attention to Tutu's enticement.

I opened Weibo and spent several minutes carefully reading TuTu Youzhi's lengthy statement.

I have to admire Tutu's skills, because her Weibo long post is really good at manipulating emotions. She plays the victim very well, with skillful techniques that make a bunch of naive fans cry in the comment section, accusing the Wen family as evil capitalists and saying they want to boycott them. Some even said that if Tutu stopped writing, they would commit suicide.

Suicide Wen Ping smiled faintly, thinking to himself, I wonder what these impulsive little fans will feel like when they think back on this a few years from now I reckon they'll think their brains had some holes when they were younger.hild" 。I only said that because Xiaoger is so cute. I didn't really mean that I want a baby, and I'm not mentally prepared to be a mother yet. 。Wen Ping Sheng finished speaking, feeling something was...
