Shi Qian changed his approach, rewrote the paper, and used a new model. Although the operation was much more complicated than before, the results were indeed better.
During this period, Shi Qian had nothing else to do but attend classes, eat, and sleep. He spent all his time in the lab and finally managed to perfect the data and finish writing his paper.
He didn't ask his assistants for help with this project; he did everything himself. After all, the mole was still under his control, and he couldn't let anyone take advantage of the situation again.
Whether or not Shi Qian needs an assistant is actually not much different; it's just a matter of how much time it takes.
Even though he works slowly, he's still much faster than most people.
Yue Lang had previously left someone for him, saying it was to help out, and also to have Shi Qian help guide him.
Shi Qian naturally did not refuse; since Yue Lang had said so, she would take him along.
This newcomer has a good grasp of things; he gets things quickly. With proper training, he might become a pillar of the lab next year and even be able to start his own research project.
Shi Qian was very open-minded and shared all his knowledge on any professional issues he had.
Fearing that the newcomer might not understand, he even took out his previous manuscripts so that the newcomer could refer to them.
After learning that the newcomer might have ulterior motives, Shi Qian's attitude turned cold.
Shi Qian sent his newly written paper to Yue Lang, who then asked him to come to his office to discuss the matter.
"Come in."
"Please sit here. I've read the two papers you sent me before. They're good, no major problems. I've already sent them to the journal, and I expect to get a result soon."
"And this one you just sent, why is it different from the version of ideas you gave me before?"
"When we found something better, we replaced it."
Yue Lang looked through the data Shi Qian sent and nodded, "This version is indeed better."
"Okay, I'll take a look later and send it out for you. I heard from Guan Yi that you've been living in the lab lately. Young people shouldn't work too hard. Your dark circles are almost bigger than mine."
"good."
Shi Qian didn't think anything of it. He liked doing research projects and often forgot to eat and missed the dormitory curfew.
Several times, Guan Yi came over early in the morning and found him working in the lab all night. He urged him to go back to sleep, and he only slept for a few hours. Otherwise, he could have worked until dawn.
“You’ve been working very fast. I see you’ve applied for a few more new ones, and the directions are all good, but I can only approve one.”
"The rest can be taught next semester, otherwise your senior brother Guan will say that I'm exploiting you, saying that I don't let students sleep and that I'm turning them into emotionless academic machines."
"What he said does make sense. You need to allocate your time reasonably and not just focus on experiments."
"New classmates your age are either out having fun or dating, so you should relax a bit too."
...
Shi Qian knew Yue Lang was about to start nagging again, so he prepared to give a few perfunctory replies and leave quickly. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the dean's office.
Before Yue Lang could speak, the people outside rushed in.
Cheng Dai angrily slammed a document on Yue Lang's desk, yelling, "Your student plagiarized, aren't you going to do anything about it?!"
After saying that, she glared at Shi Qian.
Cheng Dai was followed by Su Yang.
"I received a report from a student that your student plagiarized. I've submitted all the evidence; take a look for yourself!"
Yue Lang frowned and flipped through the documents Cheng Dai had thrown at him. They had the same general direction as the one Shi Qian had submitted today, but the ideas, methods, and models were different.
This piece is more like the first version that Shi Qian submitted earlier.
"Yue Lang, don't even think about protecting this newcomer. Didn't your student just submit a manuscript to you? It's probably the same as mine, isn't it?"
"There are still differences."
Yue Lang stated truthfully that Shi Qian's paper was far superior, and moreover, the two papers only shared the same general direction; their specific approaches and argumentation methods were completely different.
"Don't even think about protecting him! You're still not admitting to such blatant plagiarism?"
Cheng Dai returned from his business trip today. As soon as he entered the office, he saw Su Yang leading in an unfamiliar person, saying that he had something important to say.
The man spoke haltingly and intermittently, and Cheng Dai finally understood.
A newcomer in Yue Lang's team stole Su Yang's ideas, using the same methods and models, thus stealing Su Yang's academic achievements.
Su Yang showed Cheng Dai the project application time on the system; Su Yang and Shi Qian submitted their applications almost simultaneously.
However, Su Yang submitted his ideas first, and Shi Qian updated his two days later.
The content is almost identical.
"If I hadn't overheard a few words from Dean Yue's students today, I wouldn't have known that someone in the lab would be so bold as to plagiarize outright."
"This is the result of my hard work over the past few months, and now it's been stolen by a newbie with a history of cheating..."
Su Yang felt very wronged and complained to Cheng Dai and Yue Lang about Shi Qian's actions.
Shi Qian raised an eyebrow and glanced at Su Yang. So that's where he was waiting for him.
When Shi Qian sent his research ideas to Yue Lang, Yue Lang was busy and didn't update them in time, so they were a little later than Su Yang's.
Yue Lang frowned when he heard Su Yang bring up unrelated things like cheating.
“It doesn’t count as plagiarism.” Yue Lang checked the time of the two people’s project application and idea supplement on the system. The two people’s project application time was close to that of the project, but Shi Qian’s idea supplement was indeed two days later.
However, this was also his fault. He was too busy those days, and Shi Qian had sent it to him earlier, but he didn't have time to upload it.
"Shi Qian sent it to me earlier."
When Cheng Dai heard Yue Lang's conclusion, he felt that Yue Lang was covering up for Shi Qian.
"Is Dean Yue planning to protect his own student?"
"The direction is the same, the thinking is the same, the model is the same, and the calculation method is the same. Isn't that plagiarism?"
Yue Lang didn't understand why Cheng Dai was so certain that the two papers were exactly the same, as if he had already read them.
"Have you read the papers they wrote?" Yue Lang asked Cheng Dai.
Su Yang stepped forward at the opportune moment and handed over a paper.
“I know there are rules in the lab that internal team information cannot be leaked, but Shi Qian went too far this time. The people below couldn’t stand it and sent me Shi Qian’s final draft.”
"This is the one; the contents inside are exactly the same as mine."
“This constitutes plagiarism, Dean Yue. I hope you can handle this fairly and not discourage the other students in the lab.”
After Su Yang finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Shi Qian, his face showing undisguised smugness.
Shi Qian remained expressionless; the fish had taken the bait.
Yue Lang remained silent, flipping through the so-called "final draft" of Shi Qian that Su Yang handed over. It was the first version of the ideas and methods.
Yue Lang glanced at Shi Qian, who remained unmoved, and Yue Lang roughly knew what was going on.
"Are you sure this is Shi Qian's final draft?"
