Recently, Zijin Chen, the author of the original novel of the word-of-mouth drama "The Silent Truth" and "The Hidden Corner", posted on Weibo that he was run away by the gym owner.
He wrote: "Miserable, serial set, first pit by Putian Hospital, and then in order to practice waist to go to the gym, the result of the gym owner rolled money and ran away." This society is invincible..." In the screenshot of the WeChat dialogue he posted, he mentioned that he "still has tens of thousands of lessons."
"Citizen of Rights Protection" Zijin Chen
However, this is not the first time that Zijin Chen has been "fooled".
Last year, he went to a hospital in Ningbo for psoas muscle strain, and spent 4500 yuan on "small molecule anti-inflammatory needle" treatment, resulting in more and more serious waist pain. In order to defend his rights, he appeared on the news program "1818 GoldenEye", becoming the first celebrity to appear on the show to defend his rights.
After the program was broadcast, the hospital involved was fined 35,000 yuan, and the qualifications of the doctors involved were suspended for three months.

"Old shareholder" Zijin Chen
According to Xinmin Weekly, Zijin Chen's association with the novel came from a second-hand copy of "Securities Investment" that he bought one day when he was studying at Zhejiang University.
After learning this book, Zijin Chen began to speculate in stocks, but his enthusiasm for stock speculation exceeded that of ordinary people, so he serialized the novel "Young Stock God" on tianya with the topic of stock speculation. At that time, he gave himself a pen name, Zijin Chen, which literally translates to Chen, a classmate who lives in the West Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University Town.
What is unexpected is that "Young Stock God" became a blockbuster and became a popular post at Tianya, and many publishing houses competed for copyright, but the glory of the university era did not change his life. After graduating from college, Zijin Chen had no interest in becoming a novelist, but instead speculated in stocks. In 2008, the Internet gradually emerged, and after graduation, Zijin Chen joined a stock trading software company known to future shareholders - Flush.
But within two years he resigned. Talking about why he resigned, Zijin Chen frankly said: "I can't see the room for growth. Later, when I returned to Ningbo, my family let me take the civil service examination, studied myself for more than half a year, and fled back to Hangzhou before applying for the examination. The thought of being a civil servant in Xiangshan and sitting in an office all my life felt terrible, because I was a person who longed for freedom. ”
"Novelist" Zijin Chen
However, the turn of fate may have come so inadvertently. In 2012, Japanese mystery writer Keigo Higashino set off a wave of speculative fiction in China, and all bookstores in China have special booths to put Keigo Higashino's works, and Keigo Higashino's "White Night" is well known.
Zijin Chen felt that it was okay to be a novelist, so Zijin Chen began to write full-time with the support of his wife.
With the idea of making products, Zijin Chen decided at the beginning to serialize four novels for free to see how the market reacts, and also to accumulate popularity for himself. Hence the Murder Of Officials series (later renamed High IQ Crime). In 2012, he topped the "Top Ten Authors" and "Top Ten Works" of Tianya Literature. Seeing that the market response was good, he successively launched the "King of Reasoning" series, namely "Undocumented Crime", "Bad Boy" and "Long Night Is Difficult to Understand".
Around 2014, when the domestic IP adaptation was at the cusp, Zijin Chen caught up with this wave. In 2015, iQiyi bought the rights to adapt his two novels, "Bad Boy" and "The Long Night". In 2017, his novel "Undocumented Crime" was put on the screen, and although the show received a high score of 8.2, it was overshadowed by the "White Night Pursuit" that was launched at the same time.
In June 2020, the web drama "The Hidden Corner" adapted from "Bad Kids" was launched, triggering a wave of climbing terriers on the whole network, with a Douban score of 8.9; in September 2020, the web drama "The Silent Truth" adapted from "The Long Night Is Difficult to See" was launched, refreshing the reputation again, and at this point, Zijin Chen was completely out of the circle.
