This incident quickly escalated, and many people online began to condemn Qingyou.
As short videos recorded by many people at the online medical expo spread, those who initially exclaimed how amazing it was quickly changed their tune and began calling for its debunking.
I think Gu Qingyou has gone too far. She actually plagiarized other people's work and created everything. She's a pest in this field and should be made to stop infringing on original works immediately.
Moreover, such a student should be expelled from Imperial Capital University.
The incident escalated rapidly, sweeping across major online and short video platforms like a storm.
The pomelo became the focus of attention and was subjected to a barrage of criticism.
As a result, Jin Chenglu and Xiao Jinshi were also severely criticized. Many people even said that they suspected that the new drug developed by Xiao Jinshi might be based on others' work and that they should boycott it.
Of course, Jin Junyao's personal involvement and the hiring of online trolls were indispensable in this effort.
The following day, many participating companies joined together to file a complaint with the organizing committee of the medical exhibition.
We firmly demand that they cancel Xiao Jin's participation in the exhibition and that Gu Qingyou give everyone an explanation.
At Xiao Jin's booth, many people came to protest and shout insults.
However, these people were quickly asked to leave by security guards.
Xiao Jinshi and the people from the Imperial University who participated in the research were all very angry.
"This is not plagiarism at all. It is the work of the main creator of Qingyou. We developed it step by step by following her lead."
"Those people online are spreading rumors. Apart from one expert, I've never heard of the people who came out before. If they were that capable, they would have been famous in the field long ago."
Someone sighed, "But they have evidence. The website they provided did publish the article before our research and development, and there are many professional comments from different time points below it."
One person couldn't help but look at Qingyou, who had a calm and collected expression, and ask, "What should we do now?"
"The organizing committee should be coming to find us soon."
Qingyou suddenly retorted, "Do you believe those claims online that I plagiarized and committed academic fraud?"
Everyone shook their heads. "I don't believe it."
After all, they had worked with Qingyou for more than half a year and knew how talented and amazing she was in this field.
What they developed is currently the only and most advanced technology in the world.
But once the evidence came out, they couldn't refute it, which left them with mixed feelings.
Seeing that everyone believed her, Qingyou smiled and said, "Those were all fakes."
Seeing the organizing committee members approaching from a distance, she stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
"You can continue to showcase our instruments to your customers. You have nothing to hide, so just pretend that what happened online doesn't exist."
Seeing her like this, everyone's anxiety and restlessness gradually subsided.
Qingyou picked up a bag and followed Jin Chenglu to the organizing committee's office.
More than an hour later, the two came out chatting and laughing.
Many people who saw this were thinking, "How can these two still be laughing?"
The companies that filed complaints went to the organizing committee to inquire about the results.
The organizing committee informed everyone that Gu Qingyou would personally explain the situation at tomorrow's competition, and asked them to wait.
So everyone, from those in the field to casual observers online, is waiting for tomorrow.
At the Gu family's booth, Gu Fenghua and others also received the news.
Gu Fenghua naturally knew who did it, and felt no guilt. Instead, she thought that if anyone was to blame, it was Gu Qingyou for taking the initiative to provoke Jin Junyao.
However, he sighed and said, "I never expected that the results of the pomelo would come about like this. I am very disappointed."
An elder of the Gu family said with a relieved tone, "It's fortunate that they severed ties with the Gu family, otherwise our Gu family would have been completely disgraced."
Xie Ling and Xie Yu were also there. They were skeptical of the evidence online, suspecting that it might be Jin Junyao's doing, since he was a top hacker.
Listening to Gu Fenghua's words, he also recalled the nickname someone in the circle had given Gu Fenghua: "The Great White Lotus of a Prosperous Era"...
Over the past six months, Xie Ling has had a lot of contact with Gu Fenghua due to the cooperation between the Xie family and the Gu family.
The more he got to know her, the more he realized that he had been blinded by love, which was why he had regarded her as his ideal woman.
He asked again, "Will the new prosthetic limb still be competing tomorrow?"
Gu Fenghua remained silent, but an elder from the Gu family said, "Of course, you should continue to participate in the competition."
"This is the culmination of more than two years of hard work by the Gu family, and we can't let it go to waste."
"Gu Qingyou's academic work and achievements are plagiarized and fabricated. The irrefutable evidence is right there online. No one will believe her if she comes out to explain tomorrow."
Although it was frustrating that the same project was overshadowed by the Jin family, to which Gu Qingyou had sided, this incident had ironically become an opportunity for them.
Their products are indeed not as good as Xiao Jin's, but they did not plagiarize or counterfeit. On the contrary, Gu Qingyou stole their core technology.
Yes, under the brainwashing of Gu Fenghua and Jin Junyao, the senior executives of Gu's Group all believed that Gu Qingyou had stolen the core design of their company's project.
After the theft, Gu Qingyou turned around and helped Xiao Jinshi and Gushi steal the limelight and business, which is why they were so angry.
If Gu Qingyou hadn't stolen the core design, the amazing new prosthetic limb that Xiao Jinshi was showcasing would have belonged to the Gu family.
Xie Ling nodded. "Then let's get ready for the competition tomorrow."
Qingyou and Jin Chenglu ignored the online trends and went out for a delicious meal as if nothing had happened.
I also ran into people from my circle at the restaurant.
After the meal, the person posted a photo in the group chat of the two of them chatting and laughing.
People started discussing it in the group chat.
