Chapter 757 Are You the Main Culprit?

Zhang Rui was full of food at the airport and felt extremely depressed. He went to have a drink with some friends and chatted with two girls about the philosophy of life for a long time before he finally felt comfortable.

Although Lu Jingyao despised the many mistakes in his translation of "A Song of Ice and Fire", he laughed at Lu Jingyao for not understanding the national conditions.

What do you think mainland novel fans like to read the most?

A grand war? The spirit of fighting for freedom?

Pull it down! They most like to watch the taboo extravagance in Western fantasy, as well as the nosebleed-inducing erotic plots of Dragon Mother!

Zhang Rui has read poetry and books since he was a child, and has carefully studied Jin Ping Mei. Would he not be as good as Lu Jingyao as a topic writer from that small town?

The cover is labeled "Western Classic Magical Masterpiece", and the content is about love and extravagance. I don't know how well the pirated book translated by Zhang Rui sold.

If you have money, you will be handsome, and girls will naturally like you, right?

Zhang Rui has already calculated that at this rate, he will be able to buy a car in at most two years, and his life will be more comfortable then!

He would never forget the scene two years ago when he went to talk to Li Ye about something, and he "sent off" the guest in a polite way, then got into a car and drove away.

Zhang Rui is a top elite who has returned from studying abroad. How can he lose to a bumpkin in China?

Therefore, this tone must be uttered, and it must be uttered harshly.

But when Zhang Rui rode his bicycle back to the school dormitory area, the haze in his heart spread for no reason.

He took off the chain of the bicycle and locked it on a tree downstairs. Recently, the employees of the car theft company have become rampant again, and even the school dormitory area dared to be included in the scope of business.

Holding on to the cement corridor, Zhang Rui went straight to the third floor, took out the key and opened the door to the east door on the third floor.

"Mom, I'm back."

Zhang Rui now lives with his parents in a house with three bedrooms and one living room. In the eyes of outsiders, this is already a very good condition.

But Zhang Rui is not satisfied. He hopes to have his own house, a big house that belongs entirely to him. He no longer has to stay under the same roof with his parents and listen to the same old nagging and truth all day long.

It's a pity that he has only been working for two years, and there are still many teachers waiting in line. Even if he is the director's son, he still needs an appropriate title so that "latecomers can get in first."

However, Zhang Rui's mother has already said that as long as Zhang Rui has a partner, she will do everything possible to get a two-bedroom apartment for him.

It sounds so luxurious for the young couple to live in two bedrooms and one living room, but Zhang Rui misses the original courtyard house very much.

That’s a dozen houses! Even if it is not as bright as a building, it is valuable!

It’s been 1987. Houses that cost RMB 10,000 at the time are now being snatched up for RMB 40,000 to RMB 50,000, and the prices are still high.

"Mom, I'm back."

Zhang Rui came home today and didn't hear his parents nagging, so he couldn't help shouting again.

This guy! He gets annoyed when you nag him, but if you ignore him, he still feels that you don't pay attention to him.

But Zhang Rui shouted again and didn't hear his parents' response.

That’s not right! The lights are brightly on at home and the TV is on!

Zhang Rui changed into his slippers and entered the living room, only to see his parents sitting on the sofa, looking at him gloomily.

This means something is wrong.

Professor Zhang pointed to the sofa and said in a deep voice: "Sit down first, and I'll ask you something."

Zhang Ruihun sat down nonchalantly and asked, "Dad, if you have something to say, just say it quickly! I'm very tired today, so I'll go to bed early."

Professor Zhang looked at his son and asked worriedly: "Xiao Rui, you still did that pirated book thing, right?"

"Pirated books?"

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely: "Dad, is this no big deal? Our country doesn't care at all. Didn't I make it clear to you last time?"

Professor Zhang closed his eyes in pain and murmured: "I don't care, it's because they won't sue. If I sue, they will take care of it!"

"The Talang Literature Publishing House in Hong Kong is a company registered with us. Their president has been to the Great Hall. Why did you steal his books?"

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, but still said in disbelief: "It's impossible. I've only printed a few thousand copies in total. The Copyright Office only cares about this little thing like this because I have nothing to do."

Professor Zhang waved his hand and said firmly: "You must have offended someone. I have repeatedly asked you not to be so high-profile and flamboyant. This is the mainland, and it is easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows."

"I offended people."

Zhang Rui concentrated, and the scene at the airport today flashed through his mind.

But then he shook his head, thinking it couldn't be that fast.

After all, even if Li Ye makes a report, he must first notify the copyright owners in Hong Kong and then report it to the National Copyright Bureau. The Copyright Bureau investigates and verifies. The series of procedures can take four months rather than half a year.

But it’s only been less than a day, and they can’t handle it even if they have all their hands and eyes!

But the next moment, what Professor Zhang said was a thunderbolt.

"You surrender immediately, take the initiative to expose it, hand over your illegal gains, and strive for a lighter punishment."

"."

Zhang Rui was completely stunned.

Although his father is an upright man, he is not pedantic at all. He never treats his son more harshly than others, and he never misses an opportunity to pave the way for his son.

But what is this for now? Do you want to kill your relatives out of righteousness?

This whole family is going to kill the nine tribes. Are they going to push me out and behead me?

Zhang Rui suddenly turned to look at his mother: "Mom, did my dad take the wrong medicine?"

"."

Zhang Rui's mother looked at the "rebellious son" in front of her and slowly shed tears.

"Mom, could it be..."

Zhang Rui was afraid, he was really afraid.

If in the past, he dared to say this about his father, then no matter how much his mother doted on him, she would lightly slap him and scold him harshly that he should "respect his father".

But now my mother is crying silently, so it is very clear whether the matter is really that serious.

Professor Zhang said with a tired look: "I have begged for mercy on your behalf. They promised to give me face. As long as you are not the main culprit and hand over the illegal gains, then we will deal with it in a low-key manner."

The school promises to only give you major demerits. If you calm down and teach, I will find a way to remove the punishment for you later."

Zhang Rui was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.

"Now that I have been punished, dad, please let me go!"

"."

Professor Zhang looked at his son who suddenly seemed to be relieved, and couldn't help but said: "Go, go, go, you know how to go. The country has trained you, and if you all leave, who will build this country?"

Zhang Rui rubbed his neck and said angrily: "Aren't there still people who can't leave? Aren't there still countless fools like you who are silently devoting their lives?"

"Who do you call a fool? Who do you call a fool?"

Professor Zhang, who was holding a fire in his heart, finally burst out.

Today, he was inexplicably called by the school leaders, and then severely ordered to cooperate with the investigation of the relevant departments. Professor Zhang was brave and did not directly let the public security personnel arrest him.

He understood the piracy situation in the mainland and turned a blind eye to it. His son just hit the muzzle of the gun.

But now Zhang Rui actually called him a fool, which he couldn't bear anymore.

But Zhang Rui said fiercely: "Isn't it true? I wanted to stay in Britain, but you insisted on letting me come back.

Look at Lu Jingyao, you took the responsibility for her and made her earn fifty to sixty thousand pounds a year, but in the end she only paid you two thousand pounds. Dad, why can't you take the responsibility for me? You shoulder the responsibility for me, and I will honor you with 20,000 yuan every year."

"And our old house."

Zhang Rui said as if he couldn't stop the car: "When I came back, I told you that we could either buy the house from the Seven-inch Blade or borrow money to buy a courtyard house quickly, but you just didn't listen.

Now our courtyard house costs almost 100,000 yuan. If I didn't want to buy the house back, would I sell pirated books? "

"One hundred thousand? How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? If you don't believe me, ask Liu Muhan."

Zhang Rui said: "Liu Muhan is related to the Seven-inch Blade, and the Seven-inch Blade is still friends with the boss of Talang Publishing House. This incident is probably their fault."

Zhang Rui had an idea and brought the matter to Li Ye.

Yes! Doesn't Li Ye know Pei Wencong? Isn't Li Ye Liu Muhan's eldest nephew? Don't his father have an old friendship with Liu Muhan's father?

This matter has gone round and round, haven't we found a solution?

Zhang Rui's mother was stunned, and suddenly said to Professor Zhang: "Old Zhang, why don't you talk to Lao Liu and let's buy the house back!"

"."

Professor Zhang looked at his son and wife and didn't know what to say.

How long has it been and you are still thinking about the house?

I just said it was easy, but in fact it was very serious, so serious that I might retire early.

"Xiao Rui, tell me the truth first, are you the main culprit?"

"."

Zhang Rui was stunned for a long time, and then whispered: "I am responsible for the translation. I invested some money in the printing unit that Xiaobin found, and I get 50% of the share."

"Then he is the main culprit. You should resolve the matter in front of you first."
