Chapter 104 Yu Yan loses to Gan Xiaoxing
Yu Yan had already prepared materials on Gan Xiaoxing's academic fraud, but she had been busy working on her own thesis and hadn't had the time.
Gan Xiaoxing kept running into the gun barrel.
I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't teach her a lesson.
What Yu Yan and Shao Muyan didn't expect was that before they could hand over the materials to the relevant departments, netizens had already uncovered evidence of Gan Xiaoxing's academic fraud.
Academic fraud is not uncommon.
As Gan Xiaoxing said, scientific research and academia are fields that are difficult for ordinary people to access. They wouldn't receive such high attention from others.
Ironically, Gan Xiaoxing became an internet celebrity and gained immense popularity with her niche persona as a "beautiful scientist," attracting a huge wave of attention.
She has fallen hard from a high position, and given her high profile, she is easily susceptible to backlash.
A fabricated persona is bound to fall apart.
That same evening, a prominent social media account claimed that their team had actually questioned Xiaoxing Research Lab several years ago, but because it was backed by Xiangshi Technology and had such a strong background, no one dared to really investigate.
The previous paper incident implicated a large number of master's and doctoral students in Xiaoxing's lab, but Gan Xiaoxing, as the boss, emerged unscathed from the incident and even successfully transitioned into becoming an internet celebrity. This was simply because the scientific research circle is a relatively closed circle, and everyone is busy with research and has no time to criticize her.
Anyone who has thoroughly investigated the background knows that people like Gan Xiaoxing are the black sheep of academia.
It is people like her, who are ignorant and incompetent, who have turned the once-promising scientific research community into a mess.
With influential figures taking the lead, netizens themselves got involved in digging.
There are many talented people out there. Someone discovered that one of the two papers written by Gan Xiaoxing, which can be found publicly online, has an 80% overlap with a paper published by Mei Nan.
This was actually her postdoctoral application paper, and she actually succeeded!
Where is justice?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The issue of "educational equity" is inherently a social issue, and public outrage was immediately aroused. Gan Xiaoxing's luxury mansion, luxury cars, jewelry, and other items that she posted on social media were all scrutinized.
People started digging into her family background, and neither the Gan Group nor the Xiang Group were spared. Even Xiang Jingheng became a trending topic.
One evening, Yu Yan, Shao Muyan, and Shao Yun snuggled on the sofa, eating fruit and watching TV.
Messages kept popping up on my phone.
When Shao Muyan got home, his phone was mostly on silent mode, and he rarely picked it up to look at it. Yu Yan put it on vibrate, and her phone was constantly on all night.
Friends, relatives, and members of the WD research team were all watching the drama unfold.
They looked just like badgers in a melon patch, jumping around everywhere.
"Sent by Sister Min."
Yu Yan showed her phone to Shao Muyan, who was cutting a mango and glanced at the screen while following Yu Yan's posture.
The two were sitting close together, and Shao Yun, who was sitting in the middle, felt two gusts of hot air behind her ears. Without making a sound, she moved forward slightly to give them space.
I actually felt like I was in the way.
Shao Min: "Have you seen the trending topics? It's incredibly lively. Xiang Jingheng poured 500 million yuan into Xiaoxing's research lab, and Gan Xiaoxing ended up using nearly 100 million yuan to buy private property, including villas and jewelry."
"The luxury car was bought by Gan's parents. Gan Xiaoxing still has the nerve to call herself a modern independent woman. I really want to give her a good slap! Make her repeat elementary school and learn Chinese properly. Does she even know what 'independent woman' means?"
Shao Muyan handed the sliced mango to Yu Yan, saying, "Now the Gan family parents have something to do."
Yu Yan took the mango, but handed it to Shao Yun.
"You eat, I'll cut some more for him." Shao Muyan stopped him, and Shao Yun also told Yu Yan to eat first.
Yu Yan looked at the mango cut into small squares, rolled it up slightly, and let Shao Yun take a bite.
Is it sweet?
Shao Yun nodded. "Sweet."
Yu Yan then brought the bowl to Shao Muyan's lips, "Uncle Yan, have a bite."
Shao Muyan paused slightly, took a bite from the other side, and said it was sweet.
Yu Yan then lowered her head and took a bite, making a satisfied sound. Although she bit the other side, Shao Muyan's face still turned red, and he inexplicably thought of the term "indirect kiss".
The ex-husband is still trending on social media.
Gan Xiaoxing was trying hard to get on the trending topics list, while Xiang Jingheng was trying to find someone to remove it.
Is this kind of sordid thing something to be proud of?
Xiang Jingheng stayed at the company working overtime, and the entire public relations department didn't leave. Gan Xiaoxing's destructive power is just too strong.
Since Xiangshi Technology became associated with the name "Gan Xiaoxing," it hasn't benefited at all; troubles have come one after another. Every time Gan Xiaoxing trends on social media, Xiangshi Technology's stock price drops.
Xiang Jingheng worked tirelessly for three years to achieve good results, only to be brought back to reality by Gan Xiaoxing's single move.
When Mrs. Gan wanted to bring them together before, she even said that she had consulted a master who said that Gan Xiaoxing was Xiang Jingheng's lucky star and could bring him good fortune.
Mrs. Xiang firmly believed this and therefore accepted Gan Xiaoxing as her daughter-in-law.
Now Xiang Jingheng really wants to drag that master in front of him and make him recalculate, then give him this blessing and ask him if he's willing to accept it.
"How about we ask Yu Yan for help?"
Mei Nan whispered to Xiang Jingheng, "Making a scene like this will not do Xiang's Technology any good. Even for Xiang Chu's sake, please ask Yu Yan to be lenient."
Xiang Jingheng sat in the boss's chair, his face pale and his expression exhausted.
“I asked her for help before, but she wouldn’t give me any face.”
Xiang Jingheng gave a self-deprecating smile. "Now, Yu Yan only cares about the Shao family. Shao Muyan is the most important person to her. Xiang Chu and I have long lost their significance in her heart. Even that adopted son of the Shao family is more valuable than my son and me."
Mei Nan lowered her eyes slightly and did not respond to that question.
Xiang Jingheng was severely criticized.
Previously, many people online were shipping him and Gan Xiaoxing as "childhood sweethearts," thinking they were a perfect match.
But this time, Gan Xiaoxing's image collapsed, and the public opinion changed in an instant. People then realized that their relationship had never been innocent. If they were in love, then since they were childhood sweethearts, why didn't they get together?
Someone dug up a photo of Gan Xiaoxing hugging Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu, their intimate gestures resembling a family of three. However, at that time, Xiang Jingheng and Yu Yan were still married.
This... isn't this exactly the behavior of a mistress, and she even knows what mistress is doing?
It was discovered that less than a week after this photo was released, Yu Yan and Xiang Jingheng divorced.
So everyone started guessing!
This "family of three" photo is Gan Xiaoxing's challenge to Yu Yan: I'm so close to your husband and child, don't you understand? Why don't you get a divorce?
Ironically, the CEO Xiang, who was willing to invest 500 million yuan in Gan Xiaoxing's business and let her use 100 million yuan to build a villa and swimming pool, didn't give a penny when he divorced his ex-wife, leaving her with nothing.
How shameless of you!
Someone posted photos of Yu Yan and Gan Xiaoxing online.
Unlike Gan Xiaoxing's various beautified selfies and exquisite photos, the photos of Yu Yan that were exposed were either professional photos taken at a conference or ID photos that were taken from somewhere by someone.
Even with a less-than-clear image, she exudes a striking and indescribable aura, perfectly matching the image of a beautiful female PhD student that people imagine.
This is a true female scientist.
This has led to a sigh online: there is no fairness in love. Even someone as outstanding as Yu Yan still lost to Gan Xiaoxing, who was all looks and no substance.
Upon seeing this comment, Xiang Jingheng frowned and couldn't help but reply, "Who said Yu Yan lost?"
