Chen Zhisong hasn't been sleeping well recently and always has dreams at night.
He dreamed of that rooftop, Wen Mo sitting beside him, her hair flying on both sides of her delicate and plump cheeks, and her eyes, which were usually dull and lifeless, were now smiling at him.
Chen Zhisong knew that it was a favor that belonged only to him, and he had been moved by that special feeling countless times.
For Chen Zhisong, that was the most beautiful dream of his high-spirited youth.
...But why! Wen Mo wants to break this dream!
Chen Zhisong always thought that Wen Mo was an ordinary person from an ordinary family who worked hard with his own hands.
She shines because of her dreams. She is the brightest star among the crowd and the unpolluted goddess in the ocean of knowledge!
What's the result?
After all, she is just a vulgar person! A woman who bows her head for money!
Chen Zhisong's next dream took a sharp turn for the worse, returning to the day when he went to school and saw Mo.
Wen Mo received a phone call at the last minute and said that something happened at home, showing rare impatience.
He also comforted her and considered her from her perspective.
Then the two parted ways. Chen Zhisong originally planned to return to the dormitory, but suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to return Wen Mo's USB flash drive to her, so he turned around and went to Wen Mo's dormitory.
Halfway through the walk, he ran into Wen Mo, who was pulling a suitcase and hurriedly walking out.
He called Wen Mo twice, but there was no response.
Chen Zhisong had no choice but to chase after him, but he just saw Wen Mo get into a car on the side of the road.
It was a Rolls-Royce driven by a white man, so expensive that he could never afford a steering wheel in his lifetime.
The white uncle got out of the car, patted Wen Mo's shoulder affectionately, helped her put the suitcase in the trunk, and protected her as she got into the car.
Chen Zhisong was dumbfounded on the spot!
Now he understood completely.
What a pure and innocent academic goddess!
It turns out she is also a vulgar woman!
That white man is so old that he could be her father, yet she can still smile so brightly at him!
It's really disgusting!
As long as women in academia lower their standards, they can live a good life, with fame, achievements, and papers coming in like snowflakes.
What a difference! They put so much effort and dedication into their studies, yet there's a high chance they won't even graduate with a PhD!
So what was he working so hard for all these years?
Chen Zhisong's "faith" collapsed. He ignored his tutor's call and went to a bar outside the school to drink all night. Finally, he fell drunk on the side of the road.
When he woke up, his wallet was stolen and the only thing left was Wen Mo's USB flash drive.
Chen Zhisong believed that this was God's will for him, so he picked up the USB drive, found his supervisor, and explained his new research ideas to him, and he was indeed praised.
Afterwards, Chen Zhisong continued his work, staying up all night for several days, repeating Wen Mo's experiment one-to-one. After obtaining conclusive data, he wrote a paper.
The instructor was very surprised and said that he was a genius and could get such good results in such a short time!
He said he would help him submit his paper to an authoritative journal in the industry. If it was successfully published, not only would he graduate with a doctorate, but he would even gain a small reputation in the industry. Countless research labs would then extend olive branches to him, and he would be able to stay in this prosperous country and live the life of his dreams!
Chen Zhisong certainly knew that his behavior was disgraceful, as he had misappropriated Wen Mo's experimental data.
But so what?
Wen Mo herself has never published it anywhere, so she has no evidence.
And he also contributed a lot to her research process, so he should have a share of the results.
And most importantly... she was the one who betrayed him first!
No wonder he is so cruel!
After finding a "legitimate" reason, Chen Zhisong became more and more immersed in the success brought by this paper.
He was praised by his instructors, admired by his classmates, and admired by industry leaders...
Back!
The high spirits he had in China back then are back!
At this time, only one person noticed that something was wrong, pointed out the real author of the paper, and scolded him for his shamelessness.
Chen Zhisong was a little panicked. He first refused to admit it, and then racked his brains to think of ways to suppress the matter.
Wen Mo will come back one day after all. She is in China now and has not been discovered yet. Wait until she returns to school...
Chen Zhisong shuddered, hardly daring to imagine the consequences of being ruined!
So, when he was on the verge of despair, someone called him and said they could help, and Chen Zhisong naturally agreed without blinking.
The person who made the mysterious call didn't ask him to do anything, but only told him to proceed at his own pace, the more high-profile the better, and they would ensure that Wen Mo would never return to school.
Chen Zhisong intuitively felt that there was something wrong, and he could even sense the other party's strong malice towards Wen Mo from those few words.
But there was no way, he always had to take care of himself first and then think about Wen Mo.
Then he did as he was told.
As expected, there was no news from Wen Mo, and Chen Zhisong once suspected that she was dead...
At first, he couldn't sleep because of the guilt.
However, perhaps once a person's bottom line is lowered, they will soon no longer have any psychological burden.
Chen Zhisong was getting more and more used to it. When he received the invitation to the academic conference, he was so proud and happy! There was no trace of gloom at all!
He knew that Nobel Prize winners would be present at this conference, and that would be his stage to perform!
He prepared a lot for this meeting, even taking into account possible questions, and tried his best to make it perfect.
Just three days before the meeting, Chen Zhisong suddenly received a call from his family in China, who happily told him that they had seen news about him online.
"Have you been doing research on X recently? A lot of senior scientists are following you, right? The news has spread back to China, saying you're a representative of the new generation of young Chinese scientists! A lot of people online are praising you, saying you should return to China to develop your career. The news spread so quickly, even your third aunt and second uncle know about it! Your dad is so happy recently that he said he wants to go to the ancestors' memorial service and tell them the good news! Oh, by the way, send me the journal you published in, so we can burn it on our graves!"
Chen Zhisong answered somewhat uncomfortably:
"No need. But why did this news spread back to China? I haven't been interviewed by any media outlet!"
The paper he published did cause a small stir in the industry, but different fields are often different. How could the domestic media get the news so quickly and even pass it on to his parents?
Chen Zhisong felt that this matter was a bit strange.
He didn't doubt it at all:
"What's so strange about that? It's just that my son is awesome! Oh, right, just read what those netizens say. Don't even think about asking you to return home! Just stay at your university, become a big professor, buy a big villa, and then bring your dad and me out later..."
