“Yubu didn’t come to find us, but instead he bites back. Just wait until Xiao Weicai arrives; let’s see what he has to say!”
As he spoke, Ye Qiu took out his phone to check hot searches, saying, “Xiao Weicai won’t be coming.”
A few minutes ago, Yubu’s teacher Xiao Weicai had posted his identification on Weibo, openly declaring his willingness to be a witness for Yubu. He claimed that he had been deeply hurt by the inaction of the research institute and that he would withdraw and no longer participate in any research institutes.
“I never imagined that Yubu, my most obedient and understanding student, has gone through so much that I was unaware of. I truly am not a competent teacher.”
“Every time I think about this matter at night, it feels like a lump in my throat. I’ve decided to withdraw from the Capital Research Institute and will never engage in research again.”
Not only that, but even a few researchers who previously sided with Xiao Weicai against Ye Qiu seemed afraid that Ye Qiu would now come after them, so they published statements online expressing their willingness to testify for Yubu.
In an instant, the Capital Research Institute and Ye Qiu were subjected to a storm of criticisms.
“A single rotten apple spoils the barrel. I sensed something was off when they promoted him as the youngest researcher.”
“How can the Capital Research Institute tolerate such a person in the lab? It can’t be that they have powerful connections behind them, can it?”
“Stealing others’ research results deserves a terrible fate!”
“Xiao Weicai is the most experienced PhD in the institute. Who knows if the institute can continue to produce results without him?”
Li Shu anxiously asked, “What do we do now?”
They had just released their research report yesterday, and now this incident tarnished the reputation of both the research institute and Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu declared boldly, “Let’s directly apply the levitation technology and let everyone know we were the first to discover it. Let’s see what he can do!”
“Ye Qiu, you’re still young. You don’t understand how much experimental work it takes to apply theory…” Wang Chengde shook his head with a bitter smile at Ye Qiu’s childish words.
This boy was still too young to realize how many experimental steps were required to successfully apply something so simple.
Turning to advise him, he widened his eyes at the sight before him.
This… this can’t be the thing he thinks it is, right?
“How difficult… where did you get this?”
Ye Qiu held the item and asked curiously, “What difficulty?”
“It’s better not to know, not to know. Let’s see how they can still act!”
He realized he might have truly unearthed a rare genius once in a hundred years.
Lu Congrong, Lu Chen’s father, sat in the living room watching his son and Ye Qiu leave and felt perplexed. It wasn’t that he disdained his son; Lu Chen had been a little tyrant since childhood, and as he grew, his arrogant and overbearing personality became incredibly prominent. Only Xin and Xiang Yuanyuan were willing to tolerate him. With such a bad character, it’s surprising he could get along so well with another boy.
Something was off.
There must be something wrong.
“Dad, Ye Qiu is the most capable researcher in the Capital Research Institute, but people online just want to slander him. You have to support him!”
Ye Qiu?!
Isn’t he the so-called worst researcher in history for excluding other researchers and monopolizing their findings, as Xin Ruxin told him this morning?
Lu Congrong sat up straight with the newspaper, filled with worry. What is going on?
He couldn’t just directly ask Chen, “Is your friend intentionally monopolizing someone else’s research findings?”
Lu Chen sensed his father’s unnatural behavior and felt alarm bells ringing in his head. “Did you see those nonsensical things online again? They’re all fake! Ye Qiu is just too excellent; that’s why people are jealous!”
How could Ye Qiu possibly take someone else’s results, especially since this technology was originally developed by his boyfriend?
This was simply too outrageous. He had to think of a way to clear his boyfriend’s name.
Lu Chen clung to Lu Dad’s arm and pouted, “Dad, you have to help us!”
“Ah? Oh, okay…” Lu Dad, caught up in the rare moment of his son’s obedience, lost himself in thought.
“Yay, I knew you were the best!”
Of course, he…
What?
Lu Congrong snapped back to reality, regretting that he had easily agreed to such a thing.
The Capital Research Institute issued a statement:
1. “The Hypothesis on Levitation Technology” and “The Application of Levitation Technology in Daily Life” are collective research findings by everyone at the Capital Research Institute, with researcher Ye Qiu playing a key role.
2. Former researchers Yubu, Zhou Cai, Wang Le, and five others, along with their doctoral supervisor Xiao Weicai, are suspected of fabricating facts to defame researcher Ye Qiu, causing damage to his personality and reputation… They are ordered to publicly apologize to researcher Ye Qiu within three days; otherwise, the researchers will wield the law to protect their rights.
“Is this really the official Weibo of the Capital Research Institute?”
“So they just refuse to admit it?”
“The official whitewashing is the most deadly.”
Yubu saw the announcement immediately after it was released by the research institute.
He panicked and looked toward Xiao Weicai, “Teacher, what should we do?”
“Don’t panic. As long as we find another research institute and release everything ahead of time, what can they do to us? Do you really think I will be worse than Ye Qiu, that boy who hasn’t even grown facial hair yet?” Xiao Weicai looked disdainfully at those around him who had lost their composure just from an announcement.
A bunch of useless people, scared by just an announcement.
As long as he applied the levitation technology first, history would only remember the name of Xiao Weicai.
They initially thought that as long as they spilled everything, the institute would be forced to expel Ye Qiu. Without any backing, he would be easily manipulated. They never expected the institute to demand an apology for Ye Qiu.
Was the institute not afraid that he would take people and invent things ahead of time?
Seeing the Capital Research Institute’s clarification post,
Lu Chen felt a bit proud. He knew his boyfriend would never engage in such despicable acts.
