That is, as long as he talks about what he is interested in or what he is good at, he will immediately show a confident and friendly attitude.

"I started writing when I was a teenager, and it took me four or five years to succeed."

Mr. Yu sighed, "I have average talent, and I can't compare to those big names who became great with one book. I can only work hard bit by bit. Sometimes I can't sleep in the middle of the night thinking about the character design, thinking about how this person should be, how that person should be... I worry so much that my hair falls out."

"Who isn't?" Jiang Mu also said, "Sometimes, in order to write a characteristic of a character, I searched all over the website to find similar characters. I searched for an hour and only wrote a dozen words. Every frown and smile is in my mind. The characters in the book are like my children."

"...Yes." Mr. Yu sighed, "They are all my children."

"But now, someone wants to take our child away."

Jiang Mu was helpless. "The account belongs to the platform, the persona belongs to the platform, and everything we built up bit by bit in that world does not belong to us in this world."

He paused.

"At the end of the day, we are authors, and we are just authors, just stinky coders."

Jiang Mu stopped talking.

Because enough is enough.

“…No, that’s not right!”

Mr. Yu became excited.

"I will never give in... I will never give in! My child is my child!"

"Always will be!"

He clenched his fist and hammered the coffee table hard, making a dull thud.

Like the bang of a gavel in a court of law.

===

Lawyer Gu held the edge of the table, his eyes sharp and his words as sharp as knives.

"——As Mr. Yu has said, your company's rules are ugly, the regulations are shameless, the restrictions are harsh, and the intentions are sinister. I have never seen such a thing in my life. It really makes me doubt whether you are modern pillars who create value for the country, or feudal landlords of the old times."

“That’s an exaggeration.”

Passerby Ji was as steady as a rock. "After all, it's just one of the authors' self-narration. It's even hard to confirm the authenticity of the agreement itself, isn't it?"

He is certainly as steady as a rock.

Because he has the support of Mount Tai.

Hearing this, Lawyer Gu smiled silently.

"He's taken the bait." Lawyer Gu thought.

===

"He's taken the bait." Jiang Mu thought.

As the expression of the middle-aged man opposite him became more and more solemn, Jiang Mu's expression gradually relaxed.

"A new CEO starts with three things. In order to prove to the board that he can bring benefits, the first thing he does is to attack you, a pillar of the company."

Jiang Mu smiled, "There should be something like this, right? 'It's a waste for the author to hold the copyright. People are compromising. If opening the window is not possible, then as long as we ask to lift the roof, the window can of course be opened'...

If my guess is correct, the CEO has already prepared two new contracts, one with strict clauses to trigger public opinion, and another with more tactful clauses when the time is right.

By then, the authors won't be in an uproar. Traffic will be in hand, the big authors' money will be returned in full, the copyright of the small authors will be split 70% and 30%, the CEO will keep his position, the big authors will get compensation, and as for the slight public opinion, it will naturally end with the passage of time...

An old-fashioned trick that works, isn't it? It can both eliminate dissidents and secure his position. That new CEO is really a tough guy."

The middle-aged man continued to remain silent.

"But what if... the second contract was taken out by you?" Jiang Mu smiled.

The middle-aged man's brow twitched.

"Yes, everyone knows there is a second contract, but as long as the person who proposed the first contract doesn't produce it, it's equivalent to not existing."

Jiang Mu's tone was bewitching and seductive. "Two contracts for one person can only be regarded as a one-man show directed and performed by himself. The new official took office, and the radical rules aroused negative public opinion. Just when everything was sliding towards a bad angle, a mature and steady person emerged and turned the tide. This is a gorgeous reversal."

"Too childish." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.

"Is it really so naive? What kind of people are on the board of directors? You should know better than me, right?"

Jiang Mu laughed, "Old antiques from 20 or 30 years ago cannot keep up with the times, do not understand the logic of the Internet, do not understand the operation of the company, and only look at data, or to be more precise, only look at revenue...

Of course, big companies have big problems, but complicated rules and rigid operations can actually make some plans simpler.

Of course you don't need to appear in court in person, that would be too condescending. All you need is an 'accident'. If it succeeds, that would be the best. If it doesn't, that doesn't matter. If the company's stock price falls, that's his problem. You are the savior who saved everything, aren't you?"

===

"…The above are the documents that this gentleman accidentally obtained." Lawyer Gu stood in the courtroom, confident, "The authenticity is beyond doubt."

He turned his back, smiled silently at where Jiang Mu was sitting, and raised his right hand as if raising a glass.

Jiang Mu also smiled in the same way, raised his hand, and clinked glasses invisibly.

===

That night, the office.

"You are really... amazing!"

The female assistant looked at Jiang Mu with eyes that seemed to be sparkling with stars.

"Hey, can you please distinguish the protagonists?"

Lawyer Gu collapsed on the sofa and complained, "Is it my one-man show today? Besides sitting in his seat and drinking my five bottles of water like a retired grandfather, what else did he do? "

The female assistant immediately complimented him.

"Lawyer Gu, you are also very good."

Lawyer Gu snorted in displeasure: "The word 'also' is gone."

Jiang Mu watched this scene with a smile, and after a while, he spoke:

"not enough."

The female assistant was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that enough? But I think the other party is almost speechless."

Lawyer Gu immediately mocked: "Of course it's not enough. If you really can't use your nutrition to develop your body, then please use it a little more on your brain.

Our opponent is a whole team of lawyers, with a huge army, while we can only fight alone. It only takes one mistake to end up with a complete collapse."

He complained: "That's why I hate this kind of case. Really, could you please ask someone to jump off a building or something, preferably to pieces and die miserably, that would completely set off public opinion. Now it's just lukewarm."

"Actually, I did." Jiang Mu said, "I almost got shattered to pieces."

Lawyer Gu’s eyes lit up.

"I knew you were such a sadistic person who liked to hide your identity! Hurry up, tell me where you are, what's your address, do you have any photos, is the body in such a bad state? If you have any photos, please give them to me quickly so I can contact some people and try to get on the headlines tomorrow!"

Jiang Mu shook his head: "It's not appropriate. He can't appear in court. His girlfriend just broke up with him. His parents have always opposed his creation, and now they are even more opposed... If you really do what you say, it may be completely useless."

pause.

"But I have another case here, and I guarantee the cooperation of the person involved, and the amount is sufficient."

"where?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Jiang Mu smiled mysteriously.

"...Tsk, you're keeping us in suspense again."

===

The next day.

The well-known author "If you make a billion, you should enjoy life to the fullest", whose real name is "Jiang Mu", attempted suicide by jumping off a building but failed.

Seriously injured and hospitalized.

===

"You idiot!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as Jiang Mu opened his eyes, he heard a loud curse.

He picked his ears impatiently: "Keep quiet in the ward."

"Jing, your mother." Lawyer Gu said.

"Can you be more civilized?"

"Wen your mother." Lawyer Gu continued.

"Can't you use another word?"

"Let's change your mother." Lawyer Gu continued.

Jiang Mu: "..."

"It won't die."

Jiang Mu said casually, "You may not believe this, but I tried jumping off a building when I was very young. At this height, as long as you take precautions, nothing will happen..."

Without waiting for Lawyer Gu to say anything, Jiang Mu closed his eyes.

"Anyway, I noticed that you were looking at me in various ways during the court session, so I'll grant your wish this time and let you perform alone."

Like a whisper.

"I signed the contract several days ago, so of course I am the 'victim'."

"This is my last card. You must know how to use it. Don't let me down."

pause.

"please."

Lawyer Gu remained silent.

Silent as the mountains at the end of the sea.

The man almost stumbled out of the hospital. The female assistant subconsciously reached out to hold him, but he pushed her away again.

He stood under the locust tree in front of the door, looking at the ground.

Lawyer Gu really didn't want to take this case at all. He didn't want to take it from the beginning, he didn't want to take it before, and he still doesn't want to take it now.

On normal days, Lawyer Gu should be on the side of the big companies.

After all, it was just because Jiang Mu asked him for help once.

Talented Jiang Mu, perfect Jiang Mu.

...Jiang Mu has the talent that Lawyer Gu envies, but never cherishes it.

So that's how it is. Since I can give up my job, then giving up something else is of course not a big deal.

It's so stupid, so hopeless.

I really should stay away from this idiot as soon as possible.

Otherwise you will be infected with stupid diseases.

"Xiaozhen." he said suddenly.

"exist!"

"Get the materials ready." Lawyer Gu said calmly, "Let's go."

A strong wind blew up from the sky. The man walked with his hands behind his back. The woman followed closely behind him. The wind blew up the hair of both of them. No one spoke. Clusters of yellow leaves fell to the ground.

Three months later.

“The real devil is the unlimited expansion of power, the cold-blooded capitalists who stand at the commanding heights of the means of production, holding the sharp blade of power and ruthlessly cutting off the upward path of others.

But there are still other people in this world who are willing to speak up for the lower class, who insist on their own justice and original intentions, and who don’t want to leave anyone behind.

That’s why I can stand here today and confront you, with the attention of thousands of authors and people who go far beyond the status of authors.

I am truly proud of these people. 】”

Jiang Mu read the newspaper report in a teasing tone and complained: "Is it really okay to say such things in court?"
