The Story Goes Like This

You work at a company called [Company Name].

You created a proposal this year, and it went quite well; it seems the clients were generally satisfied.

You feel gratified, as if your efforts haven't been in vain.

Others thought this plan was good, so they decided to create a framework for it. Some parts of it turned out quite well, and then there was one that looked very similar to yours.

You've heard others mention it, but you didn't pay attention.

After some time...

Your client discovered this and said that this guy plagiarized, and apparently they even had an argument. You heard about this.

It's frustrating.

There's not much competition in your line of work anyway, so why make things so complicated? So you explained the situation and, incidentally, recommended a similar solution to your client.

Some time later...

The plan you recommended seems to be doing quite well, and you thought that was something to be happy about.

There's not much competition, after all.

It should have been a happy occasion for everyone, but something seems off about what happened next.

Suddenly one day, you find that rumors have started circulating among your clients, saying things like your proposal is actually not as good as theirs, and your results are not as good as theirs.

You observed this from the sidelines for a month or two.

Then, they went even further, saying things like, "Your plan is no good, it's too long and cumbersome, it's like a flood of water," or "No matter how long it is, the client will still buy it, so it's not as good as other people's fast-paced, simple, and straightforward approach."

You were immediately speechless.

I'm even a little speechless.

Holy crap! Isn't this just slapping you in the face? What kind of 360-degree turn is this?

This is different from the script!

So you got angry.

This kind of thing is really ridiculous. Someone got caught in the crossfire because of you? Hahaha.

What else can we do?

Let's fight!

Since you've brought it up, even if there's nothing wrong, there's always a chance you'll feel better.

Anyway, that's just your personality.

If you've known them for many years, they already know. As for what exactly happened? Let's just laugh it off! At worst, if something like this happens again, just laugh it off; it'll make you feel much better.

And then no one will be able to find fault with us.

I bet the book review section is a mess by now, right? Too bad I rarely have time to read it! Hahaha!

at last.

Let me clarify one thing: I don't know the author of "Night Ranger," I have no personal relationship with him whatsoever, and I've never even spoken a word to him. Whether it's posting a separate chapter to declare it's not plagiarism or recommending the book to readers, it's all my personal preference. And my actions today are also purely personal; nothing will affect the book's update schedule or plot progress.

There will be two updates today.

I'm still asking for monthly votes. There will be three chapters released tomorrow and the day after.

That's all I can write for now.

--Love you all, hehehehe Futuzi. (To be continued~^~)
