Chapter 235 Is this your professional ethics?
Just because Lu Youyou is Lu Zhiyu's biological daughter, Luo Youliang doesn't believe that she has anything to do with academic fraud.
What went wrong?
Luo Youliang has many connections in the education field over the years, so he plans to ask privately first to see if there is any misunderstanding.
Lu Youyou on the other side knew nothing about this.
The research went smoothly. She still had to think about what to eat in the cafeteria every day, but there seemed to be no bottleneck in the laboratory.
There was only one reason that could make her slow down: she had run out of money.
Under her highly cost-effective research model, the funds are extremely durable, but they will eventually run out.
When Lu Youyou went to Luo Youliang's office, she saw a Charizard with a very dark face cursing on the phone.
Luo Youliang said, "You must give me an explanation" before hanging up the phone.
When he saw Lu Youyou, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, and was even speechless.
It would make him seem incompetent if he said so. More than half a month has passed and not only has the problem not been resolved, it has even developed in a worse direction.
The person who made the complaint turned out to be a lecturer in their department, who also submitted so-called "evidence" to prove that Lu Youyou plagiarized his work.
When Luo Youliang found out about this, his mind went blank. He couldn't understand why the enemy came from within.
Now I want to contact the lecturer but cannot. He even said that he believed the organization's investigation results and would not contact his old colleagues from National Tsing Hua University to avoid suspicion.
What is this?!
He originally wanted to find out the truth and resolve the matter quickly so as not to affect Lu Youyou, but now it seems that he has no choice but to do so.
"Xiaolu, that funding may not be approved for the time being."
"Because of financial constraints?"
Lu Youyou asked casually. She couldn't think of any other reason.
"No..." Luo Youliang couldn't open his mouth. How could he say it?
Although he did not participate in the whole process, Lu Youyou would report the progress to him every once in a while, and he was very clear about how the report was written.
Isn’t it an international joke to say that Lu Youyou plagiarized?
But I have to say it anyway. I can't take such a big blame for no reason.
"It's like this. Someone reported you for academic fraud and plagiarizing other people's research results."
Luo Youliang felt like his mouth was dirty just by saying those two words, and he immediately spoke to comfort Lu Youyou without waiting for her to react.
"But don't worry, I absolutely believe that you are innocent, including the senior professors who participated in the verification. We are all on your side!"
Lu Youyou was not as excited as Luo Youliang thought. She had experienced the cycle of life and death, so what was this little thing?
Luo Youliang looked at Lu Youyou cautiously. Why was this girl laughing? Was she mad?
Lu Youyou really thought it was ridiculous. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to sue her for plagiarism? It would be better to say that she was an alien, so that slicing would be faster.
"Where's the evidence? You can't just say it casually, right?"
"The evidence is in the hands of the Xiaoyu Investigation Team. There is something else I need to tell you..." Luo Youliang was really having trouble speaking, "The person who sued you is Jiang Yu, a lecturer in the department."
Lu Youyou was stunned when he heard the name, and finally dug out a strange face from his memory.
Half a year ago, she shared a set of data on rare materials with Jiang Yu’s project team, and Jiang Yu was the person she was in contact with.
At the beginning, she asked whether to add the project team to the list of authors, but the other party declined, saying that they had not made any contribution and it was embarrassing to take advantage of her.
After that, whenever they met occasionally in the department, Jiang Yu would greet him politely. They were not very familiar with each other, but they were definitely not strangers.
How could it be him?
Lu Youyou recalled carefully, but there seemed to be no clues.
"Then what? Doesn't identifying plagiarism require both parties to provide evidence, or for the parties involved to confront each other?"
"Even if you don't come, I will still come to find you. The investigation team will come to you to verify the facts. You should make a list of the research process in the next few days, mainly the time nodes, and it would be best if there are witnesses and physical evidence."
Luo Youliang sighed secretly. He originally thought that it would be convenient and easy for Lu Youyou to study alone, but now it seems that it is not all good. At least it will be difficult to find witnesses.
Lu Youyou was very calm. She had plenty of evidence, so she was not afraid even if someone used dirty tricks on her. She had a guardian beast at home that had all the energy but nowhere to use it.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Luo Youliang thought the girl was scared: "Don't worry too much, I and several professors will testify for you. We have nothing to fear if we are upright."
Although Luo Youliang is Lu Zhiyu's old classmate, he only knows his public identity. He had heard before that Lu Youyou's husband was a soldier, but his position and rank were confidential information, so he was not very clear.
Luo Youliang was worried that Lu Youyou would be overwhelmed by the sudden storm, so he kept trying to comfort her. Lu Youyou smiled at him.
"It's okay. I'll organize the information. Just let me know when the investigation team arrives."
Lu Youyou didn't take this episode too seriously. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, so it's not impossible that it will attract the jealousy of villains.
I won’t go back to the laboratory today. I’ll give myself a half-day off and start organizing the evidence tomorrow.
She walked leisurely out of the campus. Why not go to Quanjude to buy a roast duck later? I haven’t eaten it for a long time and I’m a little craving for it.
Just as I walked out of the school gate, a few people suddenly rushed over from the side of the road. They all looked gentle and refined, but their expressions had nothing to do with being gentle and refined.
"Student Lu Youyou, you claimed to have made a breakthrough in the field of seawater desalination, but you were reported for academic fraud. What do you think about this?"
"Student Lu, do you know that doing this is against academic ethics and may be suspected of committing a crime? What do you want to say?"
In addition to the questions that came at her head, there was also the constantly flashing camera, which captured Lu Youyou's cold face.
With such attire and equipment, no one except the reporter would think of him.
Lu Youyou understood instantly that the so-called plagiarism storm was not just a matter of envy or jealousy, but was obviously carefully planned by someone.
Even students in the same department didn’t know her research topic, so how could reporters know?
The people in front of her should be from two media outlets. It was such a coincidence that they were blocking the school gate together, and they chose the time when Gu Qingye didn't come to pick her up.
"Journalism requires seeking truth from facts. You condemn people right after you open your mouth. Is this your professional ethics?"
Lu Youyou said this coldly and turned to look for the guard.
"Comrade, these people from society are harassing students at school. Please deal with them."
Lu Youyou is a celebrity in Tsinghua University. They have seen Gu Qingye coming to pick people up more than once. This person is not only a student but also a military wife. She must be protected.
Many people in the security department are retired soldiers, so their sense of collective honor is immediately high.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop. What are you doing here? This is a school. No outsiders are allowed to enter!"
"Don't move, or we'll call the police!"
