Chapter 588: 400. What’s in the treasure box (Extra Chapter for the alliance leader WJSNSLHY)
Guan Yongyi’s nervousness, sure enough, was quietly dispelled by Mr. Lu in a matter of minutes.
The effect was remarkable.
In a public setting filled with familiar faces, with her mother nearby, she was hiding in a dark corner, wrapping her arms tightly around her boyfriend’s neck, kissing passionately.
The slight nervousness felt during the presentation to her mother was nothing compared to the rebelliousness of the act, the thrill of social death if caught.
So, when it was Guan Yongyi’s turn, she smiled and confidently stepped up.
"Hello everyone, I’m Guan Yongyi from the Intellectual Property project group."
On the main stage, the short-haired girl began speaking, following the content of the PPT, making her introduction.
Applause started from the front rows, gradually spreading throughout the venue.
"I’m really looking forward to Professor Li’s project results, such a small focus yet a big topic, it’s excellent."
"The disciple of Professor Li on stage is so young, she doesn’t seem like a PhD student at all."
"She’s an undergraduate."
"An undergraduate?"
Liu Yang blinked and took another look at Guan Yongyi on stage.
"Yes, she’s my daughter."
In the front row of the guest seats, Lin Lifeng introduced her to Professor Liu Yang beside her with a very proud expression.
"No wonder she’s so outstanding, I see... like mother, like daughter."
Liu Yang nodded repeatedly and gave Lin Lifeng a thumbs up.
"Lin Lv, is she your daughter?"
Other guests nearby couldn’t help but ask curiously upon hearing that.
"Lin Lv, honestly, did you help with the paper? No secret guidance at home?"
"No, no, the child loves to delve into research herself."
Lin Lifeng waved her hand, smiling brightly.
"I don’t buy it! Does she have corporate backing? Otherwise, how does she have such detailed firsthand data?"
Many guests, familiar with Lin Lifeng, kept turning their heads to discuss as they listened to Guan Yongyi speak on stage.
Only five or six minutes passed by.
The presenter, Guan Yongyi, furrowed her brows like distant mountains.
"...In the digital age of booming e-commerce, the Haven rule’s pre-set application scenarios no longer exist."
"E-commerce platforms supported by advanced network technology are far from the neutral transmission channels and storage spaces of the past. Thanks to intelligent technology, platforms have greatly enhanced their ability to filter and prevent intellectual property infringement."
"Operators within the platform have corresponding qualifications, registered capital users, the urgency of the platform to prevent infringement is not as urgent as cases of network copyright infringement, so the platform’s liability for aiding infringement of intellectual property within is judged by the traditional fault liability principle, [Red Flag Standard] and [Notice-Delete] rule can play an important auxiliary role in fault determination, as long as the direct infringer can be verified and has compensation capacity, the court should order them to bear full compensation responsibility."
"The infringed merchant [Tanhua Customization] indicated that 23% of consumers..."
She couldn’t continue speaking.
Because she clearly remembered that this figure was over 50%, and the 23% did not match the preceding or the following data.
Even the numbers in the earlier slides of the PPT might be different from before.
She didn’t know why this happened, nor did she have the leisure to think about it.
The current issue was how to continue the report.
The short-haired girl froze on stage for a moment, her mind blank, her gaze toward Professor Li Suying.
Others, of course, noticed something was wrong, guests whispered and pointed at the PPT.
Professor Li Suying hurriedly grabbed the panicking Gong Guanyu and said: "Did you bring the USB? Hurry up and copy a new version."
"Got it, got it."
Gong Guanyu quickly took out his laptop, received a USB from Liu Yingying, and copied the PPT to his computer.
Fortunately, he hadn’t shut down the laptop earlier, saving a few seconds of boot time, and rushed to the control room at the back of the venue.
Everyone present was intently watching the embarrassed Guan Yongyi on stage.
On one hand, the forum’s papers on Intellectual Property were the main focus.
On the other hand, Li Suying, as the vice president of the Jiangcheng Law Society, also had a certain influence in the industry.
So from the start to the end, everyone concentratedly watched the PPT.
On stage, Guan Yongyi saw Guanyu rushing backstage and received a signal from Professor Li, feeling slightly more reassured.
She started to say some superficial phrases, trying to stabilize the situation, buying time.
But she didn’t know that Gong Guanyu was blocked by an earlier staff member outside the control room.
No matter what, he wasn’t allowed inside.
"Sorry, student, I play what you copied to me."
"It’s certainly not our problem; our hotel has a rule, once started, it can’t be changed."
Gong Guanyu clenched his fists in anxiety.
"But, there’s indeed a problem with the content. It wasn’t like this last night; someone must have altered it."
"I assure you no one touched it, it’s just what’s playing now."
The staff insisted.
"Yes, yes, it is this one, but the data for argument has changed, please hurry and replace it with mine."
The opponent consistently said no.
"I don’t know about the data stuff; you played it last night, didn’t it work then?"
"Once it started, it couldn’t be moved; that’s our rule."
"Are you crazy? Now there’s an issue, if you don’t adjust it, what should we do?"
Right now, all Gong Guanyu wanted to do was curse.
"That’s not my responsibility."
Professor Li Suying also hurriedly came over, speaking coldly: "This forum is of high scale, if you handle it like this, when the leadership pursues accountability, you’ll have to bear the responsibility."
