Pei Xi took a deep breath, her hands trembling. She raised her head, turned her phone to the page about identifying plagiarism, handed it to Minister Ren, and then looked at Yang Zhaolin: "You left the team because of her, I didn't say anything, and now she actually The core content is obviously plagiarized, cousin, do you want me to tolerate this? "
After hearing Pei Xi's words, everyone at the scene was stunned.
They looked at each other for a moment.
Blatant plagiarism
What does it mean
Yang Zhaolin also frowned. He stopped calling Meng Fu and looked at Pei Xi with a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Duan Shenmin also paused.
"What do you mean?" Pei Xi took a deep breath and stopped looking at Yang Zhaolin. "Go and see for yourself how much of this paper is her own original work."
As soon as this sentence came out.
The group of professors present looked at each other.
Pei Xi's paper caused a stir last November, but not many people studied it because some of the steps were obscure and the results were somewhat Schrödinger-like.
On the side, Minister Ren was still scrolling down bit by bit.
The more you turn your head, the less smile there is on your face.
Yang Zhaolin looked at Minister Ren's expression and couldn't help but frown. .
He began to recall Pei Xi's thesis. It had been several months since Pei Xi's thesis. During this period, the laboratory used the theorems she deduced. Yang Zhaolin did not remember the specific content of Pei Xi's thesis.
The main reason was that Pei Xi's writing was too concise at that time and Yang Zhaolin couldn't see anything.
He glanced at Pei Xi, and then called Meng Fu. The call was connected. He calmed down and told Meng Fu about the SCI paper, "They want to use your paper as the cover."
Meng Fu responded. She was eating, and her reaction to hearing the cover was dull: "That's it, then you can take it."
It's like discussing what the weather is like today.
"Well," Yang Zhaolin then asked, "Cousin, is this paper your original work?"
"Yes, 100%." On the other side of the phone, Meng Fu raised his eyebrows.
Yang Zhaolin hung up the phone, turned to Pei Xi, and said firmly: "She won't plagiarize."
Looking at Yang Zhaolin's expression, Pei Xi couldn't help but raised her lips sarcastically: "Cousin, don't you know the paper I wrote last year? I applied for the algorithm patent, and there are only nine main formulas in it. , five of them are similar to mine, don’t you understand? Also, you have to give her credit for applying for SCI paper cover, who would admit to plagiarism?”
Yang Zhaolin frowned.
He was different from others. He knew that Meng Fu was under Dean Li, and he didn't believe that Meng Fu would lie about it.
He turned to Minister Ren and explained: "Minister Ren..."
The professional appraisal that Pei Xi asked for was very clear in several mathematical formulas.
It's not very long.
Minister Ren finished reading it in a short time.
He returned the phone to Pei Xi, and the smile on his face disappeared. Instead of talking to Yang Zhaolin, he picked up the phone again and made a call.
It was a call to the editor-in-chief of the SCI paper, "Yes, I have some problems with that paper and I want to cancel it... Okay, thank you."
Minister Ren’s voice spread in the box, and many people heard it.
Before this, everyone clearly realized that Minister Ren admired Meng Fu and wanted to win over her.
Otherwise, Tangtang Ren's family would not entertain a newcomer here and spend time and energy to help pave the way for her to find the editor-in-chief of SCI papers.
At the moment, he did not answer Yang Zhaolin or Pei Xi.
But the meaning of this sentence was obvious, he believed Pei Xi.
In academia, plagiarism is indeed a shameful thing, especially for those engaged in scientific research.
If Meng Fu had spoken openly and honestly, the minister would not have had so many troubles.
But many people heard Meng Fu's answer on Yang Zhaolin's phone, she didn't.
Whether Meng Fu had it or not, the "plagiarism analysis" document made it clear, and Minister Ren could see it clearly.
He hung up the phone, looked at Yang Zhaolin, paused, and his voice became much colder: "Don't send your cousin's information to me."
After saying that, Minister Ren turned around and left.
Yang Zhaolin felt his heart pounding when he heard this.
Naturally, he believed that Meng Fu did not plagiarize, but if this happened today, Meng Fu's plagiarism would not be washed away. If it turned into a small black spot, it would affect her voice, or even...
To be serious, she couldn't even keep her identity as a researcher with Dean Li.
He didn't want Meng Fu to be called a "plagiarizer" because of him.
"Minister Ren, I believe my cousin did not plagiarize," Yang Zhaolin's mind was racing. He stopped Minister Ren and spoke steadily, "I hope you can find out."
Minister Ren did not expect such a thing to happen tonight.
He originally didn't want to deal with this matter anymore.
He looked into Yang Zhaolin's burning eyes and asked, "Have you read Pei Xi's paper?"
Minister Ren said a word and left here directly.
The other professors also looked at each other and followed Minister Ren away.
Duan Shenmin looked at Yang Zhaolin and then at Pei Xi, wondering what to say.
Pei Xi sneered and followed Minister Ren away with her cell phone.
**
Yang Zhaolin lowered his head, took out his cell phone, found the call history, and found Meng Fu's cell phone, but did not make a call. After thinking about it, he called Dean Li.
He really believed what Meng Fu said.
I also feel that Meng Fu will not plagiarize.
But he and Meng Fu couldn't solve the matter at all when they confronted the newly appointed minister.
"Xiao Yang?" Dean Li was still in his laboratory. He was very surprised when he received a call from Yang Zhaolin, "What do you want from me?"
In the past two days, Yang Zhaolin also knew that Dean Li and Meng Fu had a lot of trust.
Otherwise, a person like Dean Li would just invite a 20-year-old girl to do experiments and give her the status of a formal researcher.
Yang Zhaolin told Dean Li the whole thing.
Mainly nuclear submarines, papers, and plagiarism.
"She solved the algorithm for the nuclear submarine department?" Dean Li's focus was obviously a bit strange. He paused for a moment, a little incredible, "How did you convince her?"
Yang Zhaolin originally thought that Dean Li was asking about the plagiarism incident.
Unexpectedly, this was his first reaction.
He was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, not sure: "I didn't persuade her much, just... Duan Dui gave her a reward?"
Dean Li: “…”
There was a slight silence on his side. After about a few seconds, he finally remembered about the paper, "You said that the SCI paper wanted to publish her paper and choose a cover?"
"Well," Yang Zhaolin thought for a moment and shook his head, "But Minister Ren got her paper back again."
"Did you get it back?" Dean Li paused.
"He suspects that there is something wrong with Ah Fu's paper..."
"Oh," Dean Li said in a calm voice, "Okay, you can send me her paper for a look."
As for the "plagiarism" mentioned by Yang Zhaolin, Dean Li seemed to have blocked these two words, and never mentioned a word from beginning to end.
Although he didn't mention it, Yang Zhaolin knew that Dean Li must believe Meng Fu.
Yang Zhaolin leaned back in his chair, put his hands on the steering wheel, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he quickly sent the paper written by Meng Fu to Dean Li to read.
On the other end of the phone, Dean Li was still in his office, and the incandescent lamp above his head cast a shadow on his entire face.
He clicked on the document Yang Zhaolin sent him and read it from beginning to end.
Theorem plus algorithm.
It's a small point.
Dean Li had carefully studied Meng Fu's previous paper for Galton many times. Now he could clearly recognize the one Yang Zhaolin sent to him. This was what Meng Fu had written by the way when he was proving the difficult problem. argument.
Plagiarism
Dean Li raised his eyebrows. He took his mobile phone and dialed an overseas number.
There is a time difference between home and abroad, but it is still normal working hours there, so the call was answered quickly, "Dean Li? You have something to ask me for."
"I have a paper here that you all liked before." Dean Li leaned back in his chair, holding his cell phone in one hand and the paper in the other. He gave Meng Fu's title in an unhurried tone.
The person there was obviously deeply impressed by Meng Fu's paper, and he knew which paper it was when he heard it.
The editor-in-chief responded immediately: "That's it, but they said there was something wrong with the paper and the author's information was not collected completely."
"I have sent the author information to your email. Put the paper wherever it should be." Dean Li said calmly.
The editor-in-chief quickly agreed.
After finally receiving a paper with good quality and logic, he was naturally happy.
Afraid that Dean Li would regret it, he directly asked people to issue the content planning for this issue.
Here, Dean Li hung up the phone.
I printed out Meng Fu's paper, and also printed out Meng Fu's previous thick collection of difficult problems papers. After thinking about it later, I asked an assistant to print out Pei Xi's paper.
Meng Fu's paper actually requires looking at elliptical sets and problem sets together.
His collection of puzzles was written in September, and the ellipse was just a branch of it. When she was studying the puzzle, she mentioned the ellipse a little bit, but the process was simple.
There is a paper on the problem machine first, and when I look at the detailed process she wrote later when she was calculating the variance for the nuclear submarine, she doesn't feel at all peace-keeping.
However-
Pei Xi's was different. Dean Li was not very interested in Pei Xi before and didn't read her paper. Now that he took it out and looked at it, he could feel that it was not very smooth.
Even some steps are particularly unclear.
Seeing this, Dean Li put down the two documents. When Yang Zhaolin called him at first, he just thought it was a coincidence, but now...
Dean Li felt that plagiarism was really possible.
He turned on his phone and sent a message to Yang Zhaolin—
What is the relationship between Pei Xi and Meng Fu
Yang Zhaolin held the phone and explained it respectfully.
Dean Li received the news and fell into deep thought. What he thought... might still be true.
Dean Li knocked on the table and replied to Yang Zhaolin: Don't worry, she didn't copy it.
**
The next day.
Pei Xi went home and took a nap. Her father said that her mother's condition had deteriorated again.
She went to the hospital to see Yang Baoyi. Yang Baoyi was sedated and was still awake. She took a casual look and listened to the nurse beside her telling her about Yang Baoyi's condition.
Pei Xi listened casually. She had to go to the institute later and was ready to leave after the nurse finished speaking.
When I feel bored at this time, I use my mobile phone to read the news.
Naturally, she doesn't read entertainment news. What she reads are all science and technology research news. The app is also a foreign circumvention software. Among the massive news, a piece of news that was just released not long ago caught her attention.
Pei Xi blinked, and then slowly moved his finger to bring back the news item just now.
That is the journal for SCI papers.
What is released is the core content and cover of the next issue of SCI papers.
Pei Xi saw Meng Fu's paper on it.
The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Minister Ren believed in Pei Xi. She also knew that Minister Ren had withdrawn Meng Fu's paper last night. Why is the paper now on the front page of SCI journals
Pei Xi's fingers holding the phone turned white.
Yang Baoyi hasn't finished her physical examination, but Pei Xi couldn't wait any longer. She took her mobile phone and dialed Yang Zhaolin, "I didn't want to worry about what happened last night anymore. Can't you just leave after you get the merit? Are you proud of having your paper published on the cover of SCI again? Are you afraid that others won’t know how Meng Fu wrote that paper?”
On the other end of the phone, Yang Zhaolin, who had just gotten up and received a call from Pei Xi, suddenly woke up when he heard this sentence.
However, Pei Xi only said one sentence and hung up the phone.
Yang Zhaolin frowned.
SCI paper
What happened
He hurriedly took his coat and walked outside. By chance, Duan Shenmin sent a message to Yang Zhaolin, asking him to quickly go to Minister Ren's office, and asked Meng Fu to go too.
Yang Zhaolin hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he didn't know what the specific matter was, so he immediately called Meng Fu.
This time the call was answered quickly.
On the other side of the phone, Meng Fu was still eating. Jiang Xinchen came back yesterday, but within two days, his eyes had become sharp.
"Cousin?" Meng Fu held chopsticks in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, speaking slowly and calmly.
She always spoke like this, her voice was a little cold, but the end of her voice always rose slightly lazily.
When he speaks, it seems to soothe the anger in people's hearts.
It always calms people down quickly.
Yang Zhaolin was originally very angry, and his chest seemed to be blocked. Now that he heard Meng Fu's voice, his anger slowly calmed down, and even his voice became much gentler, "Ah Fu, do you have time to come out now? "
Meng Fu picked up a chopstick and raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Now?"
Opposite her, Su Cheng raised his head slightly and glanced at her.
"Well," Yang Zhaolin followed Minister Ren out with a deep look, "There is something wrong with the paper."
Meng Fu said "Oh". She hadn't received Duan Shenmin's money yet, so she wasn't very interested. "Okay, I'll be right over."
Yang Zhaolin got into the driver's seat and said, "I'll send you the address."
She hung up the phone and put the phone aside. After taking the last bite of her meal, she received Yang Zhaolin's address, which was an office in the institute.
"Want to go out?" Su Cheng was almost finished eating. He put down his chopsticks, took out a piece of paper and wiped his hands slowly.
Jiang Xinchen seemed to be starved for the past two days, and he didn't even raise his head when eating.
It wasn't until Meng Fu said he was leaving that he raised his head.
"Go and work on a paper." Meng Fu pulled out his chair and stood up to get his coat. "I asked Su to take me there. You take Xinchen to sign the real estate certificate. He has to sign up today."
Time is tight.
Hearing this, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, but his clear eyebrows were calm, and his tone was smooth: "Okay."
**
Minister Ren's studio is very big.
When more than a dozen professors come in together, the entire studio will not feel crowded.
Dr. Wu and others are all here.
Yang Zhaolin and Duan Shenmin arrived at almost the same time. They looked at each other and then walked into the office. Yang Zhaolin glanced at the office calmly, his whole person still gentle and elegant.
Pei Xi sat on the chair on the left, looking down at her phone, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
Minister Ren was talking to someone on the phone and seemed very irritable.
The atmosphere in the entire studio was very strange.
Duan Shenmin paused for a moment, then lowered his head and asked Pei Xi in a low voice, "Xixi, what's going on?"
Yang Zhaolin also looked at Pei Xi.
Pei Xi raised his head, glanced at the two of them, ignored Yang Zhaolin, focused on Duan Shenmin, and said calmly: "The content of the next chess game in the SCI journal has come out, and her paper is the cover."
"Didn't the appointment of minister be canceled last night?" Duan Shenmin paused.
Pei Xi smiled silently and glanced at Yang Zhaolin, "Who knows?"
After that, don't say any more words.
**
When Meng Fu came, there were at least ten people in the studio.
Wearing a mask and a hat, she knocked politely on the door.
"Ah Fu!" Seeing her, Yang Zhaolin turned sideways and waved her over.
Meng Fu took off his hat, pulled off his mask, and casually waved to Yang Zhaolin. Then, without looking at anyone, he locked eyes with Duan Shenmin first and reminded Duan Shenmin unhurriedly: "Captain Duan, have you paid for your hard work this time?" beat."
Duan Shenmin was still thinking about the SCI paper, and was startled when he heard Meng Fu's voice.
Looking up at Meng Fu's face, it took a long time to react and apologize: "Sorry, I forgot."
Meng Fu held the mask in his hand and said, "It's easy to talk."
Beside Duan Shenmin, Pei Xi sneered.
Yang Zhaolin ignored her and just wanted to introduce Meng Fu, "That's Minister Ren."
appoint
Meng Fu greeted politely, "Hello."
Minister Ren finally finished the call. He looked at Meng Fu and was stunned by her overly beautiful face before he said, "Did you do this?"
For a moment, everyone in the studio looked at Meng Fu.
"What?" Meng Fu raised his eyebrows.
Minister Ren changed the slide, and it was exactly the preview posted in the SCI journal.
Meng Fu looked at the slide and didn't seem surprised that his paper was used on the cover of the SCI journal. He just rested his chin on his hand and said, "The cover is pretty good."
she commented.
She has much better aesthetics than those straight men and women.
"I'm not asking you about the content," Minister Ren narrowed his eyes, "Don't you have anything to say to Pei Xi? Look at the conflict between your and Pei Xi's papers, and you still want to ask me to apply for papers and awards and merit? You Don’t explain it.”
Meng Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't react much.
Minister Ren didn't want to see her continue her performance, so he reached out and pressed the remote control, and the slides changed instantly.
It turned into a comparison chart between Meng Fu's paper and Pei Xi's paper.
Meng Fu looked at the comparison chart and then at the 54% comparison, and was also shocked.
Pei Xi saw Meng Fu's shock. She supported the table with her hands, and the sarcasm in her eyes was obvious: "Aren't you dismissive of SCI papers? Minister Ren just told the editor that he would withdraw your paper, and you couldn't help it anymore. ?”
"No," Meng Fu looked at the comparison chart, then smiled, stretched out his hand to drag out a chair, and sat down on the chair with some big swords, "Do you suspect that I plagiarized Pei Xi's paper?"
Pei Xi corrected Meng Fu, "It's not suspicion."
Minister Ren looked at Meng Fu and said nothing.
In the studio, the professors who knew about this last night were all there. They couldn't help but look at Meng Fu and frowned.
These people are deeply abhorred by this kind of academic fraud.
Meng Fu played with his phone carelessly, supporting his chin with one hand and looking at the paper, "I just bumped into an idea."
"Is it so obvious every time when ideas come up?" Pei Xi stretched out his hand and pointed at his head, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
So much in academia has constituted plagiarism.
"I will send this analysis report to SCI journals." Pei Xi no longer paid attention to Meng Fu and only looked at Minister Ren. "I wrote this paper in October last year. I won the award in early November and applied in December. "Cousin, can you prove it to me? I showed it to you when you took me to my grandma's house in early October. I started researching this topic that day."
Hearing Pei Xi's words, Yang Zhaolin also opened his mouth, "Pei..."
When Pei Xi said this, Yang Zhaolin knew that she would not take things lightly and would pursue this matter to the end.
"Meng Fu, you first contact SCI to withdraw the paper." Minister Ren no longer wanted to hear it. "I called them, but they didn't withdraw it either."
"I won't withdraw," Meng Fu raised his eyelids and looked at Duan Shenmin: "Is that why you don't give me money?"
He went to find Duan Shenmin again.
Pei Xi stood up suddenly and walked directly out the door.
Yang Zhaolin grabbed Pei Xi's hand, "What are you going to do?"
Pei Xi broke away and sneered: "Report to SCI."
SCI will definitely be made public. Once it is made public, Meng Fu's reputation will be really bad. Even if he is cleared in the future, others will take advantage of it.
Pei Xi turned around and continued to walk out the door.
"Wait a minute," Meng Fu was finally willing to look at the slides seriously. She glanced at it and saw the connection between her and Pei Xi's formula, "Did you write it in October?"
"That's right," Pei Xi stopped. She stood at the door and looked at Yang Lai with a faint smile: "Cousin, you don't want to perjury, do you?"
Meng Fu looked away, still operating his phone with one hand, and tapping the fingertips of the other hand on the table, "There is indeed a connection between these two papers."
Yang Zhaolin was stunned and looked at Meng Fu sharply.
Pei Xi seemed to have expected this, with a mocking look on his face.
Minister Ren had no time to argue with Meng Fu, "As for the SCI paper, you can cancel it yourself..."
"So, you think that because you wrote before me, I copied you?" Meng Fu put away her phone. She turned sideways, looked at Pei Xi, and asked softly, "Why did I write before you?"
Pei Xi was stunned.
She didn't know what she thought of, but suddenly her pupils shrank and she glanced at Meng Fu.
Meng Fu didn't look at her at all.
Just clicked on the phone.
The slides behind Minister Ren changed instantly. The plagiarized slides that originally contained them turned into Meng Fu's WeChat account.
Meng Fu was chatting with someone on video.
The video was quickly picked up.
"What's wrong?" The voice over there was a little unclear, and he didn't speak Chinese very well.
"Teacher, can you give me your chat history in September? The equation of the infinite solution of the ellipse." Meng Fu leaned on the back of his chair and spoke calmly.
Galton had just fallen asleep, and his voice was a little dry, but the other party was the apprentice he had finally found, so he was not angry.
Hearing her words, he paused, then browsed online, found the chat history, and clicked on a few pictures of Meng Fu's Infinite Solution.
Take a screenshot and send it to Meng Fu.
Meng Fu minimized the video and clicked on the screenshot he sent to himself.
The first one is the overall time screenshot.
Can see the time on WeChat—
No. 9.19.
Meng Fu clicked on the small picture again, which was the manuscript written by her.
Everyone here knows that Pei Xi just said that what he told others started in October.
After flipping through it, Meng Fu cut off the slide link, turned to Pei Xi again and asked, "Do you know why your third formula is so vague?"
Duan Shenmin and Yang Zhaolin looked at each other and didn't understand.
Naturally, Pei Xi didn't quite understand.
Meng Fu looked at Pei Xi without moving away. He just said lightly: "Because E and E' have an orthogonal projection, which has a convergent subsequence. You don't know it, so you don't understand the third formula and can only blur it. As you write, you can’t calculate the covariance.”
The studio is still in a state of silence.
Those with little knowledge may not understand it well.
After all, Meng Fu has always been like this, speaking briefly, and those who can follow her thoughts are at least men with brains of Meng Yijin Zhiyuan's level.
But Dr. Wu, who had carefully studied the papers of the two people, immediately became clear. Dr. Wu immediately took a piece of paper, wrote a new line of formula on the paper, and began to calculate.
"This idea is right. No wonder I always felt there was a problem before!" Dr. Wu said in surprise.
Following Dr. Wu's words, the office fell into silence again.
Meng Fu looked away. She held her mobile phone and remained calm and collected from beginning to end. She said calmly to Galton over there: "Teacher, someone stole my paper."
