Pei Xi took a deep breath, her hands trembling. She looked up, turned her phone to the page that identified plagiarism, handed it to Director Ren, and then looked at Yang Zhaolin: "You left the team because of her, and I didn't say anything. Now she has blatantly plagiarized the core content. Cousin, do you want me to tolerate this?"
Hearing Pei Xi's words, everyone at the scene was stunned.
They looked at each other in confusion for a moment. .
Blatant plagiarism?
What does this mean?
Yang Zhaolin also frowned. He stopped the call to Meng Fu and looked at Pei Xi. His voice was very deep: "What do you mean?"
Duan Shenmin also paused.
"What do you mean?" Pei Xi took a deep breath and stopped looking at Yang Zhaolin. "Go and see for yourself how much of this paper is her own original work."
As soon as these words came out.
The professors at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment.
...
...
Pei Xi's paper caused a stir last November, but not many people studied it because several steps were obscure and the results obtained had a Schrödinger flavor.
Meanwhile, Minister Ren was still flipping through the pages bit by bit.
The more you smile, the less you smile.
Yang Zhaolin looked at Minister Ren's expression and couldn't help but frown.
He began to recall Pei Xi's thesis. It had been several months since Pei Xi's thesis was published. During this period, the laboratory had used the theorems she had deduced. Yang Zhaolin could not remember the specific content of Pei Xi's thesis.
The main reason was that Pei Xi wrote too concisely at the time and Yang Zhaolin couldn't understand anything.
He glanced at Pei Xi, then called Meng Fu. The call was already connected. He calmed down and told Meng Fu about the SCI paper. "They want to use your paper as the cover."
Meng Fu responded. She was eating and had a calm reaction to hearing the cover: "Is that so? Then you can take it."
It seems like they are discussing what the weather is like today.
"Well," Yang Zhaolin asked, "Cousin, is this paper your original work?"
"Yes, one hundred percent." On the other end of the phone, Meng Fu raised an eyebrow.
Yang Zhaolin hung up the phone, turned to Pei Xi, and said firmly: "She wouldn't plagiarize."
Seeing Yang Zhaolin's expression, Pei Xi couldn't help but curled her lips sarcastically: "Cousin, don't you know the paper I wrote last year? I applied for the algorithm patent. There are only nine main formulas in her paper, five of which are similar to mine. Don't you understand? Yes, she also wants to give her merits and apply for an SCI paper cover. Who would admit to plagiarism?"
Yang Zhaolin frowned.
He was different from others. He knew that Meng Fu was under Dean Li's command, and he didn't believe that Meng Fu would lie about this matter.
He turned to Minister Ren and explained: "Minister Ren..."
Pei Xi asked someone to do a professional appraisal, and the several mathematical formulas were analyzed very clearly.
It's not very long.
Minister Ren finished reading it in a short while.
He returned the phone to Pei Xi, and the smile on his face disappeared. Instead of talking to Yang Zhaolin, he picked up the phone again and made a call.
The call was to the editor-in-chief of the SCI paper, "Yes, about that paper manuscript, I have some problems here, I want to withdraw it... OK, thank you."
Minister Ren's voice spread throughout the box and was heard by many people.
Before this, everyone clearly realized that Minister Ren admired Meng Fu and wanted to win her over.
Otherwise, a member of the Ren family would not host a banquet for a newcomer here, and spend time and energy to pave the way for her to find the editor-in-chief of the SCI paper.
At this moment, he did not answer Yang Zhaolin or Pei Xi.
But the meaning of this sentence was very clear, he believed Pei Xi.
In the academic world, plagiarism is indeed shameful, especially for those engaged in scientific research.
If Meng Fu had said the quote openly, Minister Ren wouldn't have had so many problems.
But many people heard Meng Fu's answer on Yang Zhaolin's phone, she didn't.
Whether Meng Fu did it or not was clearly stated in the “Plagiarism Analysis” document, and Minister Ren also saw it clearly.
He hung up the phone, looked at Yang Zhaolin, paused, and said in a much colder voice: "Don't send me your cousin's information."
After saying this, Minister Ren turned around and was about to leave.
Yang Zhaolin felt a sudden shock in his heart when he heard this.
He naturally believed that Meng Fu did not plagiarize, but if the matter was left unsolved today, Meng Fu would not be able to clear herself of the fact that she had plagiarized. It would be a small black mark, but it would affect her reputation, and even...
If things get serious, she won't even be able to keep her status as a researcher at Dean Li's place.
He didn't want Meng Fu to be labeled a "plagiarist" because of him.
"Minister Ren, I believe my cousin did not plagiarize," Yang Zhaolin's mind was turning very fast. He stopped Minister Ren and said firmly, "I hope you can check it clearly."
Minister Ren didn't expect something like this to happen tonight.
He didn't want to care about this matter anymore.
He looked into Yang Zhaolin's burning eyes and asked, "Have you read Pei Xi's paper?"
Minister Ren said something and left.
The other professors looked at each other and followed Minister Ren away.
Duan Shenmin looked at Yang Zhaolin, then at Pei Xi, not knowing what to say.
Pei Xi sneered, took his phone and followed Minister Ren away.
**
Yang Zhaolin lowered his head, took out his cell phone, found the call records, and flipped to Meng Fu's phone, but did not dial it. After thinking about it, he called Dean Li.
He really believed what Meng Fu said.
I also think Meng Fu would not plagiarize.
But he and Meng Fu could not solve the problem at all by confronting the minister.
"Xiao Yang?" Dean Li was still in his laboratory. He was very surprised to receive Yang Zhaolin's call. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Yang Zhaolin also knew in the past two days that Dean Li and Meng Fu trusted each other very much.
Otherwise, a person like Dean Li would not only invite a 20-year-old girl to do experiments, but also give her the status of a formal researcher.
Yang Zhaolin told Dean Li the whole story.
Mainly nuclear submarines, papers, and plagiarism.
"She solved the algorithm for the nuclear submarine department?" Dean Li's focus was obviously a bit strange. He paused and said incredulously, "How did you convince her?"
Yang Zhaolin originally thought that Dean Li was asking about the plagiarism incident.
I didn't expect his first reaction to be this.
He was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said uncertainly: "I didn't convince her, but... Captain Duan gave her a reward?"
Dean Li: “…”
He was silent for a few seconds before he remembered the paper. "You said SCI wants to publish her paper and choose the cover?"
"Well," Yang Zhaolin thought for a moment and shook his head, "but Minister Ren took her paper back."
"Took it back?" Dean Li paused.
"He suspected that there was something wrong with Afu's paper..."
"Oh," Dean Li said calmly, "Okay, send me her paper."
As for the "plagiarism" mentioned by Yang Zhaolin, Dean Li seemed to have blocked out these two words and did not mention a single word from beginning to end.
Although he didn't mention it, Yang Zhaolin knew that Dean Li definitely believed Meng Fu.
Yang Zhaolin leaned back in his chair, his hands on the steering wheel, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he quickly sent the paper written by Meng Fu to Dean Li for review.
On the other end of the phone, Dean Li was still in his office, the incandescent light above his head casting a shadow on his entire face.
He opened the document sent to him by Yang Zhaolin and read it from beginning to end.
Theorem plus algorithm.
It's a small point.
Dean Li had carefully studied the paper Meng Fu had given to Galton many times before. He could naturally recognize the one Yang Zhaolin had sent out very clearly. This was an argument that Meng Fu had written when he was proving the difficult problem.
Plagiarism?
Dean Li raised his eyebrows, picked up his cell phone and made an overseas call.
There is a time difference between China and abroad, and it is still normal working hours there. The call was answered quickly, "President Li? You need me for something."
"I have a paper here that you guys took a fancy to before." Dean Li leaned back in his chair, holding his cell phone in one hand and the paper in the other, and reported Meng Fu's title in a leisurely tone.
The person there was obviously impressed by Meng Fu's paper and knew which paper it was as soon as he heard it.
The editor-in-chief responded immediately: "That's it, but they said there was a problem with the paper and the author's information was not collected completely."
"I have sent the author's information to your email. Just put the paper where it should be placed." Dean Li said calmly.
The editor-in-chief immediately agreed.
He was naturally happy to receive a paper with no problems in quality and logic.
Afraid that Dean Li would regret it, I directly asked someone to send out the content plan for this issue.
On this side, Dean Li hung up the phone.
I printed out Meng Fu's paper, and also printed out Meng Fu's previous very thick paper on a collection of difficult problems. After thinking about it, I asked my assistant to print out Pei Xi's paper.
Meng Fu's paper actually looks at the elliptic set and the difficult problem set together.
His collection of difficult problems was written in September, and the ellipse was just a branch of it. When she was studying the difficult problems, she briefly mentioned the ellipse, but the process was brief.
With the difficult computer paper in front of her, when I read the detailed process she wrote when calculating the variance for the nuclear submarine, I didn't feel peacekeeping at all.
However--
Pei Xi's is different. Dean Li was not very interested in Pei Xi before and did not read her paper. But now when he took it out and looked at it, he could feel that it was not very smooth.
Some steps are even particularly vague.
Seeing this, Dean Li put down the two documents. When Yang Zhaolin called him at first, he just thought it was a coincidence, but now...
Dean Li felt that there was a real possibility of plagiarism.
He turned on his phone and sent a message to Yang Zhaolin -
[What is the relationship between Pei Xi and Meng Fu? 】
Yang Zhaolin held the phone and explained respectfully.
After receiving the news, Dean Li fell into deep thought. What he thought... might be true.
Dean Li knocked on the table and replied to Yang Zhaolin: [Don’t worry, she didn’t copy. 】
**
The next day.
Pei Xi went home and took a nap, and her father said that her mother's condition had worsened again.
She went to the hospital to see Yang Baoyi. Yang Baoyi had been sedated and was still asleep. She glanced at her casually and listened to the nurse beside her telling her about Yang Baoyi's condition.
Pei Xi listened casually. She had to go to the research institute later and was ready to leave as soon as the nurse finished speaking.
If you feel bored at this time, just pick up your phone and check the news.
Naturally, she would not read entertainment news. She only read science and technology news. The app she used was also a foreign software that circumvented the firewall. Among the massive amount of news, a piece of news that had just been released caught her attention.
Pei Xi blinked, then slowly moved her fingers and brought back the piece of news.
That is the journal for SCI papers.
What is released is the core content and cover of the next issue of SCI paper.
Pei Xi saw Meng Fu's paper on it.
The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Minister Ren believed in Pei Xi, and she knew it herself. Minister Ren withdrew Meng Fu's paper last night. How come the paper has now become the front page of the SCI journal?
Pei Xi's fingers turned white as he held the phone.
Yang Baoyi's physical examination had not yet been completed, but Pei Xi could not wait any longer. She took out her cell phone and called Yang Zhaolin. "I didn't want to bother about what happened last night. Can't you just leave after getting the honor? Are you very proud of publishing the paper on the cover of SCI? Are you afraid that others don't know how Meng Fu wrote that paper?"
On the other end of the phone, Yang Zhaolin, who had just woken up and received a call from Pei Xi, suddenly woke up after hearing this.
However, Pei Xi only said one sentence and hung up the phone.
Yang Zhaolin frowned.
SCI paper?
What happened?
He hurriedly took his coat and went outside. Coincidentally, Duan Shenmin sent a message to Yang Zhaolin, asking him to go to Minister Ren's office immediately and ask Meng Fu to go as well.
Yang Zhaolin hadn't had breakfast yet, and he didn't know what had happened, so he immediately called Meng Fu.
This time the call was answered quickly.
On the other end of the phone, Meng Fu was still eating. Jiang Xinchen came back yesterday, but in just two days, his eyes became sharp.
"Cousin?" Meng Fu held chopsticks in one hand and a cell phone in the other, speaking in a slow tone.
She always spoke like this, her voice was a little cold, but the ending tone always rose slightly and lazily.
When he spoke, it seemed to be able to soothe the anger in people's hearts.
It always calms people down quickly.
Yang Zhaolin was originally furious, and his chest felt like it was blocked. But when he heard Meng Fu's voice, his anger slowly calmed down, and even his voice became much gentler. "Afu, do you have time to come out now?"
Meng Fu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, and raised her eyebrows when she heard it, "Now?"
Opposite her, Su Cheng raised his head and glanced at her calmly.
"Well," Yang Zhaolin followed Minister Ren out, his eyes deep, "there is a problem with the thesis."
Meng Fu said "Oh". She hadn't received the money from Duan Shenmin yet, so she wasn't in a good mood. "Okay, I'll be right over."
Yang Zhaolin got in the driver's seat and said, "I'll send you the address."
After she hung up the phone, she put it aside and took the last bite of her meal. Then she received Yang Zhaolin's address, which was an office in the research institute.
"Are you going out?" Su Cheng had almost finished eating. He put down his chopsticks, took a piece of paper and wiped his hands slowly.
Jiang Xinchen seemed to be very hungry these two days and didn't even raise his head when eating.
He didn't raise his head until Meng Fu said he was leaving.
"Go and do a paper." Meng Fu pulled out a chair and stood up to get her coat. "I'll ask Su Di to take me there. You take Xin Chen to sign the property certificate. He has to register today."
Time is tight.
Hearing this, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, his clear eyes were calm, and his tone was calm: "Okay."
**
Minister Ren’s studio is very big.
Even if more than a dozen professors come in together, the entire studio will not feel crowded.
Dr. Wu and others are here.
Yang Zhaolin and Duan Shenmin arrived almost at the same time. They looked at each other and walked into the office. Yang Zhaolin glanced at the office calmly, and he was still gentle and elegant.
Pei Xi sat on the chair on the left, looking down at her phone, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
Minister Ren was talking on the phone and seemed very angry.
The atmosphere in the entire studio was very weird.
Duan Shenmin paused, then lowered his head and asked Pei Xi in a low voice, "Xixi, what happened?"
Yang Zhaolin also looked at Pei Xi.
Pei Xi looked up and glanced at the two of them. She ignored Yang Zhaolin and focused her eyes on Duan Shenmin. She said calmly, "The content of the next chapter of the SCI journal has come out, and her paper is on the cover."
"Wasn't the appointment of Minister last night cancelled?" Duan Shenmin paused.
Pei Xi smiled silently, his eyes swept across Yang Zhaolin, "Who knows?"
After saying that, he didn't say anything else.
**
When Meng Fu arrived, there were at least ten people in the studio.
She was wearing a mask and a hat and knocked on the door politely.
"Afu!" Seeing her, Yang Zhaolin turned sideways and waved for her to come over.
Meng Fu took off his hat and mask, waved casually at Yang Zhaolin, then looked at no one else. His eyes first locked onto Duan Shenmin, and he reminded Duan Shenmin unhurriedly: "Captain Duan, you didn't get your hard work pay this time."
Duan Shenmin was still thinking about the SCI paper. He was stunned when he heard Meng Fu's voice.
He looked up at Meng Fu's face, and it took him a long while to react and apologize, "Sorry, I forgot."
Meng Fu was holding a mask in her hand and was very easy to talk to. "No problem."
Beside Duan Shenmin, Pei Xi sneered.
Yang Zhaolin ignored her and just wanted Meng Fu to introduce him, "That's Minister Ren."
appoint?
Meng Fu greeted politely, "Hello."
Minister Ren finally finished the call. He looked at Meng Fu and was stunned by her overly beautiful face before he spoke, "Did you do this?"
For a moment, everyone in the studio looked at Meng Fu.
"What?" Meng Fu raised his eyebrows.
Minister Ren changed the slide, which showed the preview published in the SCI journal.
Meng Fu looked at the slide and was not surprised that her paper was used on the cover of an SCI journal. She just propped her chin up with her hand and said, "This cover is not bad."
She commented.
Much better aesthetic taste than those straight men and women.
"I'm not asking you about the content," Minister Ren narrowed his eyes, "Don't you have anything to say to Pei Xi? Look at the places where your paper and Pei Xi's paper overlap, and you still want to ask me to apply for the paper and apply for awards and merits? Why don't you explain it to me?"
Meng Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't react much.
Minister Ren didn't want to watch her perform anymore, so he reached out and pressed the remote control, and the slide changed instantly.
It became a comparison chart between Meng Fu's paper and Pei Xi's paper.
Meng Fu looked at the comparison chart, and then at the 54% comparison, and was also shocked.
Pei Xi saw Meng Fu's astonishment. She supported herself on the table with her hands, and the mockery in her eyes was obvious: "Aren't you dismissive of SCI papers? Minister Ren just told the editor-in-chief that he wanted to withdraw your paper, and you couldn't help it?"
"No," Meng Fu looked at the comparison chart, then smiled, stretched out his hand to pull out a chair, sat down on it, and said with a bit of a smile, "Do you suspect that I plagiarized Pei Xi's thesis?"
Pei Xi corrected Meng Fu, "It's not suspicion."
Minister Ren looked at Meng Fu and said nothing.
In the studio, all the professors who knew about this incident last night were there. They couldn't help but look at Meng Fu with frowns.
These people hate this kind of academic fraud.
Meng Fu was playing with her phone nonchalantly, with her chin propped up on one hand, looking at the paper, "We just bumped into each other's ideas."
"Ideas collide, and it's always so obvious?" Pei Xi pointed at his head, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
There are so many cases in the academic world that it constitutes plagiarism.
"I will send this analysis report to an SCI journal," Pei Xi no longer cared about Meng Fu and only looked at Minister Ren. "I wrote this paper in October last year, won the award in early November, and applied for a patent in December. Cousin, can you give me proof? I showed it to you when you took me to my grandmother's house in early October. I started researching this topic that day."
Hearing Pei Xi's words, Yang Zhaolin also opened his mouth, "Pei..."
After hearing what Pei Xi said, Yang Zhaolin knew that she would not let this go and would get to the bottom of this matter.
"Meng Fu, please contact SCI first and ask them to withdraw the paper," Minister Ren didn't want to listen anymore. "I called them, but they refused to withdraw it."
"I won't withdraw." Meng Fu raised her eyelids and looked at Duan Shenmin: "So that's why you won't give me money?"
Go find Duan Shenmin again.
Pei Xi stood up suddenly and walked straight out the door.
Yang Zhaolin grabbed Pei Xi's hand and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Pei Xi broke free and sneered: "Report to SCI."
SCI will definitely make the results public. Once they are made public, Meng Fu’s reputation will be ruined. Even if she is cleared of all wrongdoings later, other people will still have preconceived notions about her.
Pei Xi turned around and continued to walk out the door.
"Wait," Meng Fu finally looked at the slides carefully. She glanced at them and saw the connection between her and Pei Xi's formula. "You wrote this in October?"
"That's right," Pei Xi stopped, she stood at the door, looked at Yang Lai, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you don't want to give false testimony, do you?"
Meng Fu retracted her gaze, one hand still operating the phone, and the fingertips of the other hand tapped the table, "There is indeed a connection between these two papers."
Yang Zhaolin was stunned, and he looked suddenly at Meng Fu.
Pei Xi seemed to have expected this and had a sarcastic look on his face.
Minister Ren didn't have time to argue with Meng Fu, "Go and cancel the SCI paper yourself..."
"So, you think that because you wrote it before me, I plagiarized you." Meng Fu put away her phone, turned sideways, looked at Pei Xi, and asked softly, "I wrote it before you?"
Pei Xi was stunned.
She didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly her pupils shrank and she glanced at Meng Fu.
Meng Fu didn't even look at her.
Just pressed the phone.
The slide behind Minister Ren changed instantly. The slide that originally showed plagiarism turned into Meng Fu's WeChat.
Meng Fu is on a video call with someone.
The video was quickly connected.
"What's wrong?" The voice on the other end was a little unclear, and the Chinese was not very good.
"Teacher, can you find me your chat records for September, the equation of the ellipse with infinite solutions?" Meng Fu leaned back in his chair and spoke lightly.
Galton had just fallen asleep, and his voice was a little hoarse, but he was not angry because the other party was the apprentice he had found with great difficulty.
Hearing her words, he paused, then searched online, found the chat history, and clicked on a few pictures of Meng Fu's Infinite Solution.
Take a screenshot and send it to Meng Fu.
Meng Fu minimized the video and clicked on the screenshot he sent her.
The first one is a screenshot of the overall time.
Can see the time on WeChat——
September 19th.
Meng Fu clicked on the small picture again, which was the manuscript she had written.
Everyone here knows that Pei Xi just said to others that it starts in October.
After flipping through the pages, Meng Fu disconnected the slide link and turned her gaze to Pei Xi again and asked, "Do you know why your third formula is so vague?"
Duan Shenmin and Yang Zhaolin looked at each other, not understanding.
Pei Xi naturally didn't quite understand it either.
Meng Fu looked at Pei Xi without moving away, and said calmly: "Because E and E' have an orthogonal projection, it has a convergent subsequence, which you don't know, so you don't understand the third formula, you can only write it vaguely, and you can't calculate the covariance."
The studio is still in a state of silence.
Those who are less educated may not understand much.
After all, Meng Fu has always been like this, speaking briefly, and those who can follow her thinking are at least at the level of Meng Xun and Jin Zhiyuan.
But Dr. Wu, who had carefully studied the two people's papers, immediately understood the problem. He immediately took a piece of paper, wrote a new line of formula on the paper, and began to calculate.
"This idea is correct. No wonder I always felt there was a problem before!" Dr. Wu said in surprise.
Following Dr. Wu's words, the office fell silent again.
Meng Fu retracted her gaze. She held her phone and remained calm and composed from beginning to end. She said to Gao Dun over there indifferently, "Teacher, someone stole my thesis."
