Chapter 800: 599 Criminal Charges (Requesting Monthly Votes!)

"Guang Yi, please explain to President Jiang,"

After the Mid-Autumn Festival comes National Day,

Despite it being a day of national celebration, there are still those who find no joy, like Luo Peng.

Standing in front of Jiang Chen’s office desk at this very moment, the CEO of Tianci Capital could hardly be described as looking good.

It was a rare sight for him.

After all, Master Luo is typically an easygoing person.

Under Jiang Chen’s gaze, the person in charge of Xiaoyao Studio and the developer of the virtual romance game, Zhang Guangyi, had his face flush red.

Undeniably, when it comes to professional skills, he’s certainly competent, but just like all programmers—even if not exactly reticent—the meteorically successful Zhang Guangyi, thanks to the virtual romance game, was not known for his eloquence. And even if filled with righteous indignation, he could only forcefully articulate: "Our game has absolutely not been plagiarized!"

That’s right.

Plagiarism.

Thanks to Pei Yunxi’s unprecedented endorsement, the virtual romance game had been smooth sailing from launch, booming in development, with registered players already exceeding ten million. Now in the mobile gaming sphere, it’s widely recognized and celebrated.

At the same time,

It’s also a pillar business for Tianci Capital.

But, just on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, there were rumors suggesting the romance game had plagiarized another’s ideas.

Jiang Chen, who had planned to rest during National Day, was neither angry nor nervous. Compared to Luo Peng and Zhang Guangyi, he appeared relaxed and still wore a smile on his face.

"Why are you all standing?"

He raised a hand, "Sit down and let’s talk."

Luo Peng and Zhang Guangyi then sat down.

"Guang Yi, don’t be agitated. With fame comes controversy. With the romance game being so popular now, some criticisms aren’t surprising. Tell me exactly what’s happening,"

The genial demeanor of Jiang Chen somewhat calmed down Zhang Guangyi, who fell silent for a moment, saying, "President Jiang, there’s a company called Hamore. They also released a similar type of online romance game. It’s them, claiming that our game is plagiarized."

"Are you saying they’re purely fabricating this claim?"

Such examples of defamation are not uncommon in the business world.

The purpose is simple.

It’s nothing more than trying to hype themselves by slandering others.

Accusing the romance game brings attention and popularity to their own game, a kind of public relations tactic.

Jiang Chen looked at Luo Peng, "If so, then we should resolve this through legal means."

Luo Peng gave a wry smile, "If it were that simple, why would I trouble you? I would have sued them to the point where they wouldn’t have their underwear left."

Jiang Chen glanced at him without a word.

Realizing his own lapse, Luo Peng tugged at his collar and exhaled, "The guys from Hamore claiming we plagiarized are also our alumnus from Dongda, Guang Yi’s classmate."

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

"President Jiang, I can swear that he had no involvement whatsoever during the entire process of developing the game. It was only that I discussed the idea with him once when it came to me,"

Zhang Guangyi hastened to clarify.

Jiang Chen came to understand.

He was fairly familiar with Zhang Guangyi, a straightforward man, a typical technical talent suitable for practical work, who was generally honest.

"So, your classmate thinks he deserves some credit for the idea of the romance game?"

Zhang Guangyi, overcome with emotion, struggled to express himself.

"What did you tell such a despicable person back then?" Luo Peng couldn’t help but say.

"President Luo, I never thought he would turn out to be such a person,"

Zhang Guangyi said bitterly, "At that time, I had even thought of inviting him to join us, but he had already signed with another company and looked down upon us. Perhaps he also thought we couldn’t succeed."

In fact, that wasn’t wrong.

If it weren’t for Jiang Chen, the angel investor, who incredibly persuaded Pei Yunxi to break convention and endorse the game,

The virtual romance game would ultimately have just been several college students’ private amusement.

"I’m afraid this guy not only doubted your success but probably mocked you guys behind your back for being overly ambitious. Now that he sees you’ve made it, he feels resentful,"

Luo Peng scoffed, "What a talent."

In a big forest, there is all kinds of birds.

Not all graduates from prestigious universities are well-developed elites in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

There are thousands and thousands of Dongda’s students, and it’s not surprising that there are some despicable characters.

Besides, the world hustles and bustles for profit.

For the sake of gain, brothers can turn against each other, let alone so-called classmates.

"Let the legal department handle this sort of thing,"

After listening, Jiang Chen made a decision.

"That’s what I thought too, but..."

Luo Peng hesitated, seemingly harboring an unspeakable difficulty.

"But what?"

Jiang Chen looked at him.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just as Luo Peng was about to speak, a knocking sound came.

"Come in."

Li Shuru entered the room, and upon seeing Zhang Guangyi there, she said, "Are you discussing the Hamore matter?"

"President Li."

Zhang Guangyi quickly greeted the famously brilliant junior. Although she was still an undergraduate senior, Li Shuru held a position in Tianci Capital.

Luo Peng was about to offer his seat, but Li Shuru signaled with her eyes not to bother.

"You’re aware of this issue?"

Li Shuru nodded and approached the desk, "It was me who said not to sue. It’s better to settle amicably."

Luo Peng remained silent.

He certainly preferred to use the weapon of law to defend legitimate rights, but the company wasn’t his alone to decide.
