Chapter 632: Experimental Project Expelled, CEO’s Wife [1 update]
There was still a sarcastic smile on Elizabeth's lips.
She knew that as long as she mentioned Helven's name, these people would no longer doubt her.
Helven is well-known and respected by everyone.
Can his status be compared with that of Ying Zijin, a newcomer who has just entered the academic world?
However, the girl's sudden action made Elizabeth's smile freeze again: "What did you say?"
She lowered her head, picked up the phone tremblingly, and saw the phone number on it.
She also knew that Helven had a dedicated work phone number, but it was always managed by his assistant, and it was a landline number.
But the number Ying Zijin pressed was a mobile phone number from Continent O.
Elizabeth's hands trembled again, and she did not move for a long time. Her brain stopped working at this moment.
"You don't want to fight, right?" Ying Zijin nodded slightly and said calmly, "I'll fight for you."
In full view of everyone, the girl pressed the dial button and the hands-free button.
After a few "beep" sounds, the call was quickly connected.
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously very happy: "Ying, are you in Continent O? Or do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes, Professor, I am indeed in Continent O and I do have something to talk to you about." Ying Zijin said, "An assistant researcher in the laboratory illegally bought my paper and published it in the journal of the International Center for Physics."
Helven had to take it seriously now, and for the first time his kind voice dropped: "An assistant researcher in the lab bought your paper? Which one?"
"Elisabeth Laurent."
There was a sound of typing on the keyboard, obviously someone was looking up information.
After a while, Helven spoke again: "There is such a person, but she has not yet accessed the core experimental data. Since she plagiarized your paper, she will no longer be in the laboratory."
Helwen knew very well who Ying Zijin was.
He would believe him without asking for evidence.
Ying Zijin nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help, Professor."
The conversation between the two ended here.
Just a few simple words determined whether Elizabeth could continue to stay in the laboratory.
“…”
The hall was silent.
Except Zuo Li, everyone else was shocked.
"You said this is Professor Helven?" Elizabeth's eyes were gloomy, and her nails were pinching her palms. "You just randomly found someone to pretend to be Professor Helven. Who do you think you can fool? Don't you Chinese people like to play with counterfeit goods?"
"I told you, I wrote this paper!"
Although she said this, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She had heard Helven's voice.
The voice was exactly the same.
Moreover, Helven's English accent has its own characteristics, and not everyone can imitate it.
"Okay." Ying Zijin's eyebrows did not move, and he remained calm and composed. "Since you wrote it, you should also take out the second part of the paper. If you don't have it, I have it here."
She took the mouse and opened a private blog again.
The publication date is still August 2, 2021.
"Speak up!" Zuo Li pressed. "Didn't you write all of this? Don't you know that this paper is just the first part?"
Elizabeth's lips trembled and her face turned pale.
All she bought with $300 million was the first part?
Several professors read the paper carefully again and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, there are some foreshadowings in this paper. If you don't point them out, you won't be able to see them. But after pointing them out, you can indeed find that this is only the first half of the topic."
This time, he was completely defeated.
Everyone's gazes were like thorns in Elizabeth's back, and her face turned red.
The extreme embarrassment made her so ashamed and angry that she turned around and left.
But when she reached the door, Elizabeth suddenly stopped and turned back: "I'll give you 100 million US dollars, and you have to keep this to yourself."
"Oh, you're so arrogant with 100 million dollars?" Sinai scratched his ears. "I'm only worth 1 billion dollars. If you don't have money, don't show up in front of others. Don't you think you're rich? Isn't it annoying?"
This time, Elizabeth was too embarrassed to stay.
But because she was too nervous, she fell three times on the way down the stairs and her high heels fell off.
The person in charge didn't believe that the timeline was changed using computer technology.
He was sure that the person who plagiarized was Elizabeth.
The person in charge looked serious: "Professor Zuo Li, Miss Ying, what do you mean?"
"What did she say just now?" Zuo Li sneered, "Don't you want to make it public? Then make it public and see whose reputation in the scientific research community will be ruined first."
If you have the courage to do it, you must be able to bear the consequences after it breaks out.
The person in charge nodded, then hesitated for a moment: "But as for the Laurent family..."
This Elizabeth, after all, is a daughter of the Laurent family.
She was able to buy the paper successfully because the International Center for Physics was afraid of the authority of the Laurent family.
After all, large laboratories and some advanced technologies are controlled by major forces.
The Laurent family can indeed cover the sky with one hand.
"It's just a family matter." Ying Zijin said calmly, "Don't worry."
"Family affairs?" The person in charge was stunned and confused, but still agreed, "We will issue a notice right away."
It is a terrible thing to forcibly buy the paper without the author's knowledge.
Ying Zijin and Zuo Li left the celestial body center.
"Kid, your paper is really well written." Sinai read the paper while eating a lollipop. "This parallel universe does exist. We have observed it, but we haven't built a spacecraft carrier yet, so we can't go there yet."
She thought for a moment and then said, "But we can still leave the solar system. I haven't been there, but I've heard from some Sage Academy guards who have built spacecraft that the biological civilizations on other planets in our universe are not as advanced as ours, so they're not that interesting."
"Student Ying." Zuo Li couldn't help it, he lowered his voice, "Does your sister have a chuunibyou?"
What are you all talking about?
There is currently no definitive proof of the existence of parallel universes. Scientists only speculate that they exist. How can we observe them?
Ying Zijin was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Obviously, not."
Zuo Li turned his head.
Sinai muttered "a bit cold" and took out a piece of object half the size of his palm from his pocket.
Then she dropped a few drops of liquid on the piece and shook it with her hands.
Zuo Li watched helplessly as the small piece of object slowly turned into a leather jacket.
Sinai put on her clothes leisurely, put her hands in her pockets, and the miniature tires under her shoes pushed her forward.
Zuo Li: “…”
Damn, he's blind!

at the same time.
Country J.
Venus Group headquarters.
In the CEO's office.
"Brother, it's not easy. You actually took the initiative to go to work?" Ian rubbed his hands, "Then can I take a few days off?"
"There is one thing I need you to do. Stop all the journals of the International Center for Physics this time. Not a single copy can be leaked out." Fu Yunshen raised his eyes and said in a light voice, "Stop investing all funds and take them all back."
"Until the president and vice president are replaced, there won't be a penny left."
Ian was a little confused after hearing this: "What happened to the International Center for Physics? Scientific research is not my responsibility."
He is only responsible for approving financial applications.
There are dedicated people to take charge of all contacts related to scientific research.
"Illegal trading of papers." Fu Yunshen clasped his hands together, his peach blossom eyes as dark as the night, and he said lazily, "You've got your hands on my girl."
Ian's jaw dropped. "No way, how dare they do that?"
Are you crazy?
Buy and sell papers to investors?
Isn't this giving up big money for small money?
"Also, find out their gray income and the victims of similar incidents." Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you unilaterally violate the contract, you must pay ten times the compensation according to the terms signed at the time."
Ten times the compensation would make the president and other senior executives pay back all the money they had swallowed.
Ian nodded, his expression serious: "Okay, I'll go now."
Venus Group’s investments are all open and transparent, and the top brass at the International Center for Physics dare not embezzle them.
Can only accept bribes privately.
But this time, the attempt to start a new project has hit a wall.
The International Center of Physics is going through a major cleanup.
Ian thought about it and asked again: "Brother, should we check the other institutions as well?"
There are too many companies under the Venus Group, so there will always be a few corrupt officials, not to mention that the Venus Group is only an investor in the International Center of Physics.
The emperor is far away and the headquarters does not have that much energy.
Fu Yunshen hummed calmly: "Check them all."
Ian agreed to all of them, and only after he walked out did he realize something was wrong.
Wasn't he supposed to hand the job back to their boss? !
Why is he busy again?
In the office.
After Fu Yunshen processed a few documents, he left the room.
He was wearing a mask, and his face was changed underneath the mask.
When I took the elevator down, I happened to meet Joseph, the president of the O Alliance District, and his secretary who were also coming down the stairs.
Zero communication throughout the process.
Fu Yunshen left only when the elevator reached the first floor.
Joseph frowned, "On our floor above, there are only Ian and several other chief directors and the CEO's office, right?"
The secretary nodded: "Yes, President."
Joseph frowned even deeper: "Strange."
He had never seen this man.
But he didn't look like a CEO. The man was dressed very casually, and none of his clothes were brand new.
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "I think he looks a bit like Mr. Fu from the Asia Pacific region."
"Asia Pacific?" Joseph smiled when he heard these three words. "If the CEO valued the Asia Pacific, he would not have waited two years after both North M District and South M District were established before setting up a branch in the Asia Pacific."
Their CEO is a native Asian.
What does it have to do with Fu Yunshen?
Joseph didn't think about it anymore.
He probably just went upstairs to report on work. There are so many employees in the headquarters, and there are many people he doesn't know.

afternoon.
International Center for Physics.
The president was leaning on the bed, one arm immobilized in a splint.
His face was grim: "Damn it, Ying Zijin and Zuo Li, these two Chinese people, I declare them finished!"
When he recovers from his injuries, he will make these two people's reputation in the physics world completely ruined.
The president took a few breaths and was about to drink some water when the door was kicked open.
Before he could react, he was roughly pulled off the bed by two people.
The president screamed, "Who are you? What are you doing?!"
No one answered him.
He was dragged all the way to the first floor, where he discovered that several veterans from the International Center for Physics had come out.
These veterans were originally in a semi-retired state and have already returned home to enjoy their retirement.
The president looked up tremblingly, and then he noticed that the group of people who came had the logo of Venus Group.
Ian personally led the team and took out a document, saying calmly: "The president and vice president of the International Center of Physics will not be replaced, and all senior executives involved in the illegal sale of papers will not be dealt with. There will be no more investment in the International Center of Physics in the future."
The elders were furious.
One of the elders stepped forward and grabbed the president by the collar: "You actually bought and sold papers?!"
The president was sweating profusely and his face turned pale. "Yes... I am, but..."
He's done this too many times before.
Buying and selling papers is very common in the academic world, and some college and graduate students will buy them in order to graduate.
But it does fall into the gray trading area and is openly prohibited.
But as long as there is demand, there is a market, and there are people who will write papers specifically to sell.
This constitutes a huge transaction chain.
The president originally planned to give Ying Zijin a few tens of thousands of dollars as a token of his appreciation after the scientific journal was published.
Who would turn down money?
Ian showed no sympathy: "Bring him here, I'll interrogate him, and you guys just search the entire building to see what else is there."
Two men took the president into the next room.
“Director Ian!” The president didn’t care about his own injuries and crawled forward, “Director Ian, I won’t dare to do it again, absolutely not. Please give me a chance, please give me a chance!”
How did the Venus Group get alarmed? !
"President, you are very courageous." Ian clapped his hands and smiled. "You are buying and selling papers and you have even sold them to our CEO's wife."
