Chapter 634: Explosion!! (Two chapters combined)
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin looked at the strangers and frowned in confusion: "Who are you?"
Three people came. One of them, a middle-aged man about the same age as the principal, stood up and introduced himself: "I am from the confidentiality administration department. My surname is Li. You can call me Director Li. I received a report that someone in your laboratory leaked secrets. The person who leaked the secrets is Wen Xin from your group, so I came to see what happened."
After Director Li finished speaking, he nodded and sat down.
Another younger man, who looked to be around forty years old, also stood up and introduced himself: "I am Professor Wei from the Biology Department of the University of Technology, and this is my student Zhang Mingda."
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "So?"
Professor Wei looked at Zhang Mingda and said, "You tell us yourself."
Zhang Mingda looked at Wen Xin, and seeing that Wen Xin was staring at him fiercely, he shifted his gaze without any remorse.
He took two deep breaths and looked at Guyin, mustering his courage and saying nervously, "Wenxin and I are neighbors, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. We usually get together outside of school when we have nothing to do. When I learned that she had joined Professor Cheng's laboratory and was doing experiments in your team, I was very happy for her!"
At this point, he calmed down considerably and continued, "But we all know the rules of the lab: confidentiality is more important than one's career or even life, so we didn't have any in-depth conversations, and I didn't ask. However, the day before yesterday was my birthday, and we celebrated together. During dinner, Wenxin suddenly told me about the lab's progress and the data results she had collected. I... I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I tried to stop her, but she said it was okay, she was just telling me! I felt that this was wrong, but carrying such a secret, I couldn't sleep at night, so I told my supervisor because I didn't know what to do. Wenxin made a mistake, and as her friend, I should keep it from her. But as a researcher, I can't knowingly let her make a mistake and not help her correct it. Doing so would only harm her. So after discussing it with my supervisor, we... we decided to report this to our superiors."
Gu Yin: "..." Gu Yin was speechless.
The principal and Meng Yu were speechless!
Even Director Li's lips twitched, and he became embarrassed.
"I didn't leak anything! Fiancé, tell me, what did I say?!" Wen Xin shouted angrily!
Gu Yin: "..." Holy crap! This is a huge mess of melodrama! She couldn't help but swear!
Zhang Mingda looked at Wen Xin with an expression that said, "Why are you still so stubborn?"
If we weren't in the principal's office, Wenxin would have smashed his head in!
Zhang Mingda took out his phone and placed it on the table.
Then everyone in the room heard Wenxin and his conversation.
The recording was intermittent and took half an hour to listen to.
"Zhang Mingda, you son of a bitch! I knew you never asked me to drink with meals, but that night you kept urging me to! You even congratulated me and said it was your birthday, so you wanted to have an extra drink with me! You kept complaining about the lab's lack of results and how you didn't know what the future held! I felt sorry for you, so I thought, 'Fine, let's drink! It's okay if you get drunk, you little brat. I even thought you were planning to sleep with me! Turns out you were setting me up! Your scheming and your face are a perfect match! You fucking tricked me into revealing things about the lab, and you even recorded it beforehand! I've known you for over twenty years! And now I realize what kind of person you are! I guess I'm just unlucky! No wonder you wouldn't even touch such a beautiful woman like me when I was drunk! You still had the mind to do this and that! Are you impotent, you scumbag! I spit on you!"
Wen Xin cried and cursed at the same time. They had known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and both had been admitted to universities in Beijing. Although Zhang Mingda's grades weren't as good as hers, she had put in a lot of effort to help him get into Beijing during their senior year of high school. For four years of university, she had tutored him on all sorts of exams and academic problems. And this man, heartless and cruel, actually tried to kill her! Leaking laboratory secrets was a crime equivalent to treason! Gu Yin's experiment was so important! Wasn't this just trying to kill her?! What good would it do him if she died?!
Gu Yin was stunned again! She had always thought Wen Xin was a cold girl who didn't talk much, but she never expected her to be like this in real life!! It seems the experiment really sealed her true nature!
The principal and Meng Yu were speechless again: "..." This is his fiancée! What grudge could they possibly have against her!
Director Li also turned to look at Zhang Mingda. Zhang Mingda could tell from his expression that he was sizing up the man to see what he looked like.
Although he knew that revealing this would draw strange looks, for the sake of the future, he said with exasperation, "You don't need to say this or that. I didn't guide you, but you definitely leaked the secret! The process isn't important, what matters is the result! Don't be so stubborn! As your fiancé, it's my fault for not guiding you properly! I just hope that after you go in, you'll behave yourself! I'll help take care of your parents! You don't need to worry too much!"
Gu Yin couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked over to the principal's desk and looked around.
The principal asked, puzzled, "What are you looking for?"
"Do you have any green tea? Did you brew some green tea today? Why does it smell so strongly of tea?"
The principal sniffed and shook his head: "Really? I don't think so. I brewed Pu'er tea today, not green tea. Do you have a cold?"
Meng Yu almost couldn't help but laugh. She coughed lightly and said, "We're talking about serious matters!"
Gu Yin sighed, sat back on the sofa, and then looked at Director Li: "So how should we handle this?"
This was the first time Director Li had encountered something like this. He thought for a moment and asked, "What Wenxin said, will it affect the laboratory? If so, how significant is the impact?"
Gu Yin mumbled, "It does have an impact, but as long as everyone here signs a confidentiality agreement, this matter will be resolved, right? There's no need to make such a big fuss. After all, Wen Xin was just drunk when she was asked about it. We can just make her quit drinking. She's been with the lab for so long and knows all the procedures. My experiment can't do without her. Director Li, what do you think?"
Director Li thought Gu Yin wasn't stupid. If she dared to say that, it meant that what Wen Xin said wasn't important. Since that was the case, this solution wasn't impossible. So he nodded and said, "If you think there's no problem, then this is fine too."
Wen Xin was surprised, touched, and excited! She had given up hope, but Gu Yin resolved it so easily! And she could even go back to the lab!
"Waaaah! Thank you, boss! I'll definitely stay away from men and alcohol from now on!"
"I disagree!"
Gu Yin looked at the person who spoke and chuckled, "Professor Wei, since you disagree, then tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
Ever since she was nominated for the Nobel Prize, all sorts of shady characters have been trying to get close to her! Little does she know their motives!
Everyone says that the first thing to do after reaching the shore is to kill your sweetheart. Zhang Mingda hasn't even reached the shore yet, and he's already dragged his sweetheart down with him, trampled on her head, drunk her blood, sent her to hell, and then forcibly taken her place to enjoy the fruits of her labor! Truly despicable!
Professor Wei looked at Director Li and said, "Since the secret has been leaked, we have to follow the rules. Otherwise, what will happen if everyone does the same thing in the future? As for Wen Xin's job, we can just replace her with someone else. At her age, she shouldn't be able to take on any major responsibilities in the laboratory. Replacing her with someone else shouldn't be a problem."
The principal, who had been watching the show, immediately frowned: "Who do you want to replace him with?"
Then he saw Zhang Mingda sit up straight, his eyes brimming with undisguised smugness!
Hmph! You're dreaming!
Professor Wei continued, "Of course, we should send someone from the biology department. Qingdao University has many talented people, but I recommend my student Zhang Mingda. Zhang Mingda is currently helping out in my lab. He is very diligent and obedient, and he can definitely handle the warm and welcoming position! Moreover, once Mingda joins the lab, we won't need to sign the agreement, and we won't have to worry about others knowing about the lab. If we hire someone else, there will be an increased risk of information leakage, right? What do you think?"
Everyone looked at Wenxin with sympathy, and Wenxin was also dumbfounded: "What the heck? Let Zhang Mingda into the lab? His graduation thesis was rejected several times, and he almost couldn't graduate. What qualifications does he have to join my boss's team? On what grounds? On what grounds? On what grounds? On what grounds? If he goes in, I'm worried he'll move out of the lab and run away abroad!"
"Wenxin! I know you're smarter than me! But isn't this the best solution?!"
Gu Yin hesitated, "If we can't let Wen Xin in, then let's find someone from our Qingda University instead. Forget about people from other universities."
The principal immediately nodded: "That's right! Our school has plenty of smart kids! Why bother looking at second-tier universities!"
Even though the university is a second-tier institution, Professor Wei immediately objected when he saw that they clearly did not agree to Zhang Mingda entering the lab: "I disagree! Wen Xin is in jail, Mingda can join the experimental team, and I can also enter the lab as a cleaner. That way, we don't need to sign any agreements. Otherwise, if the experimental data is leaked and the whole internet knows about it, it will be too late to regret it!"
Was this a threat? Director Li was about to say something when Gu Yin laughed: "Professor Wei, what do you disagree with? This is a matter for our school, a matter for my experimental team. How it's handled is up to me. You're neither from Qingdao University nor part of our team, so what exactly do you disagree with? Oh my, this is hilarious! Do you think that if you join my team and I win the Nobel Prize, everyone else on the team will also win? Ah, speaking of which, I just remembered. If it's a team experiment, up to three people can win the Nobel Prize! The others will also receive millions in prize money, not to mention the various honors after returning home. Tsk tsk tsk, the temptation is huge! So huge that even the darkest part of human nature comes out! To achieve your goal, you'd actually frame your fiancée! Unheard of! And someone like that actually wants to join my team! Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Professor Wei and Zhang Mingda's faces flushed red, then darkened, and finally turned pale. Gu Yin had guessed their thoughts correctly; they were indeed eyeing the Nobel Prize. Gu Yin's team only had five people: one professor, two graduate students, and two undergraduate graduates. If Zhang Mingda went in with him, he would definitely get one of the three spots! And as his student, Zhang Mingda's future would be limitless once he returned to China, as long as he stayed in that lab!
Professor Wei pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid we'll reveal that data? Anyway, we're not your lab, we haven't signed any agreements, so even if we do, there's nothing you can do about it."
Gu Yin sighed, "Do you all think I have a good temper? Anyone who knows me knows I'm vengeful. If Wen Xin really leaked the core data, I would have already sent her to jail without you all making a fuss here! The fact that I'm still here listening to your threats means that what she said is completely unimportant. Anyone who does a little research would know what that data is. Ah, that's right, Professor Wei can do such a despicable thing, so he must have spent all his energy on this. He hasn't read many documents, has he? He doesn't have many experimental results, has he? Tsk tsk tsk, Principal, should I report him too? I wonder if Professor Wei can withstand an investigation?"
Professor Wei stood up abruptly! He left the principal's office without a word! His blatant attempt to cover his tracks was a perfect example of "protesting too much."
Zhang Mingda was dumbfounded! The teachers had all run away, and he couldn't stay either; their plan had failed!
Zhang Mingda got up and walked out. When he reached Wen Xin's side, he stopped and sighed, "I still love you after all. I had no choice in this matter. I hope you won't blame me. We'll get married next month." Without waiting for Wen Xin to speak, he quickly left the principal's office.
Everyone heard Zhang Mingda's words and looked at Wenxin. Wenxin shuddered and immediately ran to the bathroom to vomit! It was disgusting! How could there be such a disgusting person! Just thinking that this person was someone she used to like made Wenxin want to throw up!
Gu Yin's story is too complicated to explain in a few words.
Director Li looked at Gu Yin and said, "Today's performance was very enlightening. I will report the confidentiality agreement to my superiors later. It needs to be updated, and your experimental team needs to re-sign it. If Wen Xin's situation happens again, we can't just let it go so easily!" After saying that, he left the principal's office.
As soon as the person left, the principal and Meng Yu both breathed a sigh of relief. This was only because of Gu Yin; otherwise, Wen Xin would have been in big trouble!
Meng Yu looked at Gu Yin and asked worriedly, "Are the things Wen Xin said really unimportant?"
Gu Yin nodded: "The core data is with me, and some less important data is with Professor Fang. The other four are basically just doing odd jobs there. Don't worry, it's fine."
Moreover, she had 001 place a restriction in the minds of the people in the lab from the very beginning, so that even if they knew the core data, they wouldn't be able to tell anyone when they got out.
Seeing that Gu Yin didn't seem to be lying, Meng Yu finally felt relieved.
Ten minutes later, Wenxin came out of the bathroom, her face pale.
She first apologized to Gu Yin, then thanked her, and finally asked Gu Yin for three days off.
She said fiercely, "I have to go back and cancel the engagement. I also have to expose all the evil deeds Zhang Mingda has done! Let everyone see his true colors!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Do you need me to arrange for someone to go and help you?"
Wenxin shook her head: "Thank you, boss, but no need. My brother is a soldier and is on leave at home right now. I'll call him later and ask him to wait for me at the station. With him there, Zhang Mingliang's family won't dare to make things difficult for me."
Since that's the case, Gu Yin stopped worrying: "Then go to the hospital and talk to Professor Fang, ask them to switch shifts, and then go back."
Wenxin bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, boss!" Then she wiped away her tears and stormed out.
