Chapter 19 deals with non-degradable academic waste.
The farce ended abruptly. After the police criticized and educated Wang Yueping, they packed up and left the school. The department head sent them out, which gave Wang Yueping the opportunity to thank Bian Ling alone.
"So you are Tianhuo. Thank you for coming to help me. You are such a good person. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Thank you so much!"
Wang Yueping had just called his relatives in his hometown. His father had been pushed into the operating room. The moment he heard the news, he couldn't help but shed tears. This time, regardless of whether he could graduate with a doctorate or not, he decided to return to his hometown.
Although there are many opportunities in the big city, this city is cold and has never accepted him. "If you need my cooperation in suing Ning University, just tell me, I will definitely help you! I will find a way to pay back the medical expenses. Although I am poor, I am not the kind of person who owes money and does not pay it back."
Bian Ling had no interest in bullying honest people: "No need, just consider it as a thank you for the meal. Also, don't call me Tianhuo, it sounds unpleasant."
"Oh, ok, sorry for the offense."
Huh? That's not right.
He had never met Bian Ling before. Logically, he would never forget such a handsome and arrogant junior. But how come it sounded like he had even treated him to a meal? That couldn't be possible. He had no money at all.
But Bian Ling had no intention of talking to anyone. After this trip, he had already digested all his dinner. He suddenly missed the nutrient solution. Eating mechanically and quickly was obviously more suitable for him.
When Xie Yanwen returned, Wang Yueping was gone. "You guys talked so fast?"
Bian Ling raised his eyes, with an expression that clearly showed that he was too lazy to pay attention.
"You're this!" Xie Yanwen gave a thumbs-up and handed over the ice water he bought from the vending machine. "Drink less. Old Wen said you have a bad stomach, so don't eat too much cold food."
"You're wrong. The stomach doesn't have a particular preference for hot or cold. If I had to say, it prefers cold." Professor Bian drank half a bottle in one gulp. Why doesn't this laboratory building have an elevator? Ning Da is indeed unpleasant. "But my stomach must like ice."
"...Then just don't tell Old Wen." Xie Yanwen looked at the still noisy campus in the distance. "You used such a strong tone to persuade him just now. Aren't you afraid that he will really jump?"
"Just jump down." Bian Ling's voice was cold, just like the icy water in his hand that was sweating. The summer night was still too hot. "Scientific research is against the will of heaven. It is normal to die on the way." Didn't he die on the way? It was not a rare thing.
It was just death. He was very experienced and it was not as scary as he had imagined.
Xie Yanwen finally understood the feeling of being at a loss for words that Old Wen said. If he didn't know that the other party had excellent psychological quality, he really wanted to send him to see a psychologist. This was a great man who could develop a special cancer drug. If he really died on the way, it would definitely be a loss to the country, oh no, it would be a loss to all mankind.
"Don't worry, it's not that easy for him to die on the way. I've already booked the fastest flight to take Wang Yueping home, and the doctor is already in the operating room. I've asked around, and although Wang Yueping's father has underlying health conditions, he's still in good health. If he undergoes surgery promptly, he'll likely recover to 70% of his previous health."
Bian Ling glanced sideways: "You're paying?"
"This is money allocated from the foundation founded by Old Wen. He started to subsidize medical treatment for the poor a long time ago. Director Kuang is so good to him because of this. Wang Yueping's family fully meets the requirements. He just needs to fill out the application form later." Xie Yanwen is a lawyer. When he is considerate, he always does things flawlessly. If he had paid for it, Wang Yueping might want to repay the money because of his self-esteem, but if it was a grant from the foundation, there would be no such concern.
"It seems that good people don't get rewarded. Premier Wen, such a great philanthropist, still suffers from a terminal illness. He should spend more money on himself in the future," Professor Bian commented casually.
"Why do good people never get good rewards? Aren't you a blessing to him?" Although Xie Yanwen said little, he was absolutely grateful in his heart. "So many people have stomach cancer, but he was so kind that he met you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know..."
"Stop being sentimental! Don't try that." Bian Ling reached out and stopped him in time. "But he's certainly lucky to have met me."
"Right? Didn't you see how attentive Old Wen's assistant is to you? Their company's benefits are among the best in Beijing. He obviously doesn't want his boss to die young."
Bian Ling: "...I recorded it and will play it for President Wen next time."
Xie Yanwen: You can't scold him, and even less fight him, because he's more capable of fighting than you. Who says scientific researchers are all fragile? Oh, they are indeed quite fragile. It's said that a meal of fried chicken and Coke can knock them out.
Just when Lawyer Xie was puzzled, the department head came over with his signature Maitreya Buddha smile. He was the happiest person that Wang Yueping did not jump off the building, but the police were here, so this matter was bound to continue for a while, and the excitement on the Internet would not stop for a while.
Thinking of this, the department head couldn't help but complain a few words to that guy surnamed Sun. He was an old man with half a leg in the ground, but he was still obsessed with money. He could just manipulate the students a little bit. He was pushing people to death. I'm afraid he didn't want the school to have a good reputation in the future. Fortunately, the enrollment season was over this year, otherwise the quality of students would be much worse.
"Bian Ling, thank you so much for your help today. Don't worry, I know you're short on money. I'll transfer the taxi fare to you later."
Xie Yanwen extended his hand directly: "Why bother with this? I brought him here. Director Dong, why not just give me the money directly? A luxury car from the outskirts of the city. The market price is 1,200 yuan. I'm a lawyer, and my consulting fee starts at 2,000 yuan per hour. Here's my business card. If you have anything related to Bian Ling in the future, you can contact me."
“…”
My goodness, two thousand an hour is equivalent to his weekly salary. How is this different from robbing his wallet?
Director Dong's forehead was sweating even more. There were rumors online that Bian Ling had hooked up with the CEO of Rongshan Group. Now it seemed to be true. Otherwise, how could they afford such an expensive lawyer? It was simply too expensive. "Hasn't classmate Bian Ling already graduated? He should be alright, right?"
"Yes, I have."
"What?"
"Can your school take back my college diploma?" Bian Ling said seriously. "I've read some information, and it seems like a first degree is quite important. If you could just vacate this spot, I think graduating from high school would be fine."
[No! The original owner took the college entrance exam twice before getting into Ning University. You don't know that all your personal information was completely changed the second time you took the exam. I don't know how hard it was!]
"So, strictly speaking, Bian Ling's college entrance examination results can also be considered fake? It seems that there is no need to even give a reason now."
【No--】
"What? That's absolutely impossible. Your diploma is issued by the state, and the school has no right to take it back." Director Dong thought Bian Ling was worried about his academic qualifications being tampered with, so he quickly explained, "Your file has been taken away from the school, and no one will touch it. Your diploma is absolutely authentic and valid."
Compared to Wang Yueping, Bian Ling was indeed quite lucky; he simply had no education. Unlike that classmate, Wang, who seemed to have signed a lifelong indenture, the older the Suns grew, the more they were obsessed with money. The rich were treated like treasures, while the poor were no different from slaves. However, this time the situation had become so ugly, he had to find a way to convince Professor Sun to release the man.
If you don't release him, he might jump off the building again.
"Nonsense, Jiang Yiwen said he could do it, and I even recorded it. Director, do you want to listen to it?"
Director Dong: ...Oh, destroy it.
#Ningda PhD student forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building by his supervisor#, this entry quickly became a hot search. Although Jiazong kept demoting the post, the number of short videos forwarded on other platforms was astonishing. No matter how Weibo tried to control the popularity, it kept rising, and then it directly reached the top and exploded.
Is Ningbo University such a rip-off? I'm a freshman going to school in September and I'm trembling with fear.
[The person above suggested going to the school forum and not exposing personal information here. Just look at Tianhuo and you'll know he's definitely not an isolated case. In fact, his experience is considered a mild case.]
[…Well, a former Ning young professor, I can only say that being a university teacher is a stroke of luck. I almost ended up working as a school cleaner.]
[Is it so horrible? Then why has no one ever said anything about it? If PhDs can't even graduate, then aren't undergraduates and graduate students at their mercy?]
…
The entry is becoming more and more popular, and more and more people are speaking out. In fact, unfair treatment has always been hidden beneath the surface, but because the water surface is calm enough, people standing on the shore are unaware of the turbulent situation underwater.
Only those who have actually waded through the water know that the shore is so close, yet so far away.
The credibility of Ningbo University has been declining one after another, and other universities have been forced to follow suit. If this continues, it seems that the whole world has been ruled by academic cliques. The disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies of universities quickly set up an inspection team to enter Ningbo University, and publicly stated that once the facts are verified, they will never tolerate evil.
At this time, Professor Sun Youzhong, another protagonist in the jumping incident, returned to China.
Sun Youzhong is 63 years old this year. In recent years, his main research areas have been tumor epigenetics, tumor drug resistance and molecular targeted therapy. He has quite a few research groups on hand and has published many SCI papers. He also serves on the Pharmacological Society and has received countless personal honors and awards.
He has always been arrogant in the School of Life Sciences of Ningbo University. Not to mention the department head, even the president can't do anything about it.
A mere PhD student, still working under him for a living, actually dared to threaten Wang Yueping with suicide. Didn't Sun Youzhong know what kind of person Wang Yueping was? If he wanted to jump, he should have done so three years ago. Why would he wait until now?
So he immediately ignored Director Dong's objection, logged into his main Weibo account and posted a message: A student who can't even do a pharmacology experiment well actually tried to threaten his supervisor with death to sign for graduation. This is really heartbreaking. I believe that society and the institute do not need such talents, so I will definitely not relax the conditions for doctoral graduation. Thank you all for your concern.
He thought that if he posted it like this, he would definitely receive a lot of sympathy and support. After all, society highly respects university researchers, and he could feel the "goodwill" of society wherever he went.
But he didn't expect that the first thing that came was not "goodwill" but Tianhuo's sharp evaluation of his academic "misconduct" -
Tianhuo: These, these, and these—toilet waste! Garbage! Hazardous waste! And these last ones, I suggest you just throw them out of the world. If you can only graduate by writing this kind of non-biodegradable academic garbage, your doctoral degree will be extremely difficult indeed.
The accompanying picture is a paper full of crosses, and at the end is an eye-washing animated picture, which can be said to be quite considerate.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Wang Yueping, who had seen his mentor's Weibo post and was about to engage in a 300-round battle with him in the hospital corridor, said: "... Is this the true value of being an internet troll? I've learned it! [Come on][Come on][Come on]"
Green pepper: Here it specifically refers to young university teachers, Qingjiao, a homonym.
