Shi Qian repaired the data, cleared the abnormal code, and set modification permissions, allowing the data to run again.
“I set permissions so that anyone other than a few of us needs to submit an application if they want to access the data.”
"Okay, it's good that it's set up. It's all my fault for not thinking things through beforehand. I never expected something like this to happen in the lab." Guan Yi reflected on himself.
"It's alright, thankfully you discovered it in time. What are your plans for handling this?"
Shi Qian had his own ideas, but Guan Yi was the team leader, so it was more appropriate for Guan Yi to handle this matter.
"I'm thinking of keeping quiet for now. If we keep this a secret, as long as we few people know about it, we won't have any evidence. We only have suspicions. If we expose this now, it will easily make the other members suspicious of each other."
"Now that we have identified a suspect, we should pay close attention, preserve evidence, and strive to catch him red-handed, leaving him no room for excuses."
Shi Qian nodded, and the other two agreed with Guan Yi's approach. After resolving the code error, Shi Qian returned to the computer room upstairs.
He had just returned to his computer when he noticed something was wrong; someone had just been there.
Whenever Shi Qian had to leave, he used to place the mouse at a 45-degree angle, but now the mouse is placed at an angle that is clearly more than 60 degrees.
Someone tampered with his computer.
Shi Qian sat down expressionlessly and began to check the program he had written, but found no abnormalities.
But recalling what happened downstairs just now, he knew that this was no accident and that someone was watching him.
The person who transferred him away and messed with his computer couldn't have done nothing.
The model that Shi Qian is currently writing is based on the ideas in the new paper and is intended to be used to run data. It is still the first version, and he plans to run a few datasets to see how it goes before deciding whether to use it.
It seems I can't use it anymore, otherwise I don't know when I'll be labeled as someone who committed academic misconduct and plagiarized others.
Shi Qian decided to abandon the previous modeling approach and switch to a more optimized version, which would be more effective, but would be much more complex and time-consuming than the current one.
Su Yang was already on the rooftop of the Kyoto University Library, waiting to see if he could get his hands on the item. He hoped this newcomer wouldn't be such a useless person.
Su Yang was managing Cheng Dai's team and was also very familiar with Zhao Ping, the director of the laboratory. He unexpectedly learned that Shi Qianyi had applied for three research projects as soon as he joined the lab.
The dean also directly appointed Shi Qian as the project leader and assigned him an assistant.
It was something Su Yang could never have imagined before that a newcomer could lead a research project on his own. He had spent a year in the lab with his seniors before he had this opportunity.
I was surprised, but even more so, I was jealous.
He never believed that Shi Qian could actually finish all the test questions in less than two hours and get a perfect score.
But the data was recorded correctly, and there were no signs of cheating in the monitoring, so Shi Qian really does have that ability.
Fortunately, he told Cheng Dai that Shi Qian's high school grades were abnormal and that he had a history of cheating, otherwise Cheng Dai would definitely have admitted him.
Letting someone like Shi Qian in would definitely threaten his position in the team.
Su Yang understood Cheng Dai; Cheng Dai was a mentor who only valued results. If he discovered Shi Qian's abilities, he would surely lose power.
Fortunately, Cheng Dai was away on a business trip and didn't see Shi Qian's application for the research project. Otherwise, he would definitely have regretted it and might have even tried to poach Shi Qian from the dean.
Su Yang absolutely cannot let Cheng Dai poach Shi Qian. He can't deal with Cheng Dai, but Shi Qian is a different story.
A newcomer with academic misconduct is perfectly within the lab's rules for kicking someone out.
Su Yang knew that the people he had suggested kicking out had been taken away by the dean, and one of them happened to be one of Shi Qian's research assistants.
He vaguely remembered this person; his name was Guan Qinghong. He had a very high score on the exam, and Su Yang had chatted with him briefly. He was quite capable and had his own ideas.
He immediately added Guan Qinghong to his "removal list" after their conversation; such a person should never be allowed to stay.
Unfortunately, he wasn't kicked out; the dean kept him on.
Su Yang invited Guan Qinghong out under the guise of an exchange and asked him if he would be willing to do something for him.
Su Yang assured Guan Qinghong that once the matter was settled, he would definitely bring Guan Qinghong back to Cheng Dai's team and even let him join his own project team as a key member.
Guan Qinghong was hesitant at first, but Su Yang told him that he and Shi Qian were both newcomers, so why was one able to take on three research projects as the person in charge, while the other could only help others?
Su Yang confidently stated that no matter how capable a newcomer is, it's impossible to give them so many projects at once, and each project involves real money.
The implication was both overt and covert: Shi Qian had taken improper steps to gain the dean's favor.
Shi Qian's appearance is indeed very deceptive. How could someone who looks good enough to become a celebrity have excellent academic abilities? How could he possibly resist the temptations of the outside world and sit down to do scientific research?
The dean took them away and didn't give them any important positions. The other two new recruits were said to be working on projects with Guan Yi, while he was the only one who ended up with Shi Qian, a mere decorative newcomer.
This is a sign that they look down on his abilities and want to get rid of him.
Guan Qinghong was a proud and arrogant person, and after Su Yang's speech, he immediately wavered.
Yeah, why is it that as fellow newcomers, good research topics are given to Shi Qian, while I can only be an assistant, a decoration, and a laborer?
Guan Qinghong made Su Yang repeatedly promise that he could return to Cheng Dai's team and join his project group after the matter was completed.
Su Yang readily agreed, full of confidence, saying that he was the main person in charge of Cheng Dai's team and that as long as he pleaded, Cheng Dai would definitely keep him.
Guan Qinghong took a deep breath, reached a deal with Su Yang, and decided to take the risk and make sure that Shi Qian, this nepotism hire, got out of the laboratory.
As soon as Shi Qian got off the elevator, Guan Qinghong used the temporary card given to him by Su Yang to sneak into the computer room and quickly copy Shi Qian's computer data and programs.
This was the first time he had done something like this, and he wasn't quite used to it. But he told himself that he was doing the right thing. Someone who got a research project through connections shouldn't be allowed to stay in such a sacred place as the lab.
Everything went smoothly. Guan Qinghong left the laboratory and went directly to the place she had arranged to meet Su Yang.
"I brought everything for you."
Guan Qinghong handed over the hard drive, but then suddenly remembered something and took it back.
"Can you guarantee I won't be discovered?" Guan Qinghong was still a little scared.
"Don't worry, you used an anonymous temporary card. I turned off the surveillance cameras before and after you appeared, so they couldn't capture you."
Because Su Yang was Cheng Dai's capable assistant, he had a high level of authority, and naturally he could also get involved in the monitoring aspect.
"Give it to me. Don't worry, leave the rest to me. I promise you'll be fine."
