They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 164 Biologist Zhang Wei
When Director Jin came, a group of reporters gathered around him.

"Director Jin, regarding Professor Huang Yuxi's accusation of falsifying his paper, have you made any protest?"

"Director Jin, what is the other party's attitude?"

"Are they willing to apologize?"

"How are they going to punish Zhang Wei?"

“Can we extradite Zhang Wei to us for trial?”

The reporters started asking questions.

Director Jin made a quiet gesture with both hands, and then said confidently: "Just now, I have submitted a written protest document to the other party, asking the other party to immediately stop slandering Professor Huang, and asked them to report to Professor Huang. The professor publicly apologized and cleared Professor Huang's name.

Of course, the other party will not admit that they have slandered Professor Huang. They argue that they are maintaining academic fairness. However, I immediately pointed out that Zhang Wei, the scholar who framed Professor Huang, was not a biologist, but a physicist.

Science is rigorous and professional. A physicist, without a major in biological sciences, accuses a biologist of having problems with his paper. This is tantamount to nonsense without scientific basis. It is obviously a deliberate smear and slander!
Regarding the evidence I presented, the other party did not immediately reply, saying that they would have to report to their superiors before they could give me a reply, so please be patient. I will continue to follow up on this matter and will notify everyone if there is any latest news! "

"Wait a minute!" Principal Gu stopped Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, there is one more thing. After your scientific research results are published, there will definitely be leaders coming to inspect the work. Please take the time to write a few report materials. When the time comes, It’s a good time to report to your superiors. The report shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s best to use plain and easy-to-understand language to report your results clearly.”

"So soon? I thought we had to wait until the next issue!" Principal Gu said.

At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Principal, Director Liu from the Asia Department is here again. He seems to be in a hurry."

Zhang Wei came to Principal Gu's office and handed a copy of the "Science" journal to Principal Gu.

"The main reason is that the review speed of "Science" is relatively fast. "Science" did not find other reviewers for my paper. Donald Kennedy personally reviewed it." Zhang Wei replied.

Seeing the enthusiastic response from the people around him, Director Jin smiled triumphantly.

"Principal, my paper on nucleoside modification was published in this issue. Science has sent me the sample issue. Please take a look." Zhang Wei said.

Principal Gu thought about it for a moment and then showed a look of realization. This old boy is going to win the Nobel Prize!

……

After an impassioned speech, both reporters and people around him burst into warm applause.

"There is no small matter in diplomacy, so please invite Director Liu to come in!" Principal Gu said and looked at Zhang Wei: "Don't leave in a hurry. Director Liu is here, most likely to expose the falsification of Huang Yuxi's thesis for you! Let's Let’s listen together, what’s going on over there in Bangzi!”

"This Donald Kennedy is so shameless even at his age!" Principal Gu couldn't help complaining in his heart.

As Director Jin spoke, he looked around and found that there were quite a few reporters watching. He thought this was a good opportunity to show off. The next second, Director Jin immediately became playful and his voice became louder:
"As we all know, scientists are a valuable asset to the country and an important force in promoting national development. Therefore, our country will spare no effort to protect its scientists. No matter what difficulties and challenges we face, the country will unswervingly stand on the side of scientists!
Therefore, please rest assured that while we create a more relaxed, free, and fair scientific research environment for scientists, we will also severely crack down on behaviors that infringe on the rights of scientists and safeguard their legitimate rights and dignity! When you encounter injustice, the country will always stand by your side! "

Editors of academic journals generally do not serve as reviewers. This is also to ensure the fairness and impartiality of journal content. You cannot run competitions and serve as referees at the same time!
What's more, Science is one of the three largest journals in the world, and Donald Kennedy is also a very prestigious scholar. If it weren't for the Nobel Prize, he would definitely not have shamed himself to review the manuscript.

"I understand. I'm afraid the leader won't understand if it's too difficult to write!" Zhang Wei smiled and nodded.

Then Principal Gu opened the sample issue, found Zhang Wei's paper, and read it quickly.

"Is he the editor-in-chief of Science magazine? I remembered that he is also a biologist and was the president of Stanford University!"

"Yes, based on this calculation, our Tsinghua University has achieved another major scientific research result. After this issue of "Science" is officially published, I will ask people to buy a few more copies so that I can report to the department later." Principal Gu He spoke.

Half a minute later, Director Liu appeared in Principal Gu's office.

"Principal, it's nothing, I'll go back first!" Zhang Wei stood up and planned to leave.

"Principal Gu, hello, I'm here to trouble you again!" Director Liu said, looking at Zhang Wei next to him, and then said: "Teacher Zhang is here too! That's just right, I don't need to invite you specially. I'll come over this time, It’s the same thing as last time!”

"I've given you the evidence of Huang Yuxi's fraud, and you came here specifically. It seems that Bangzi doesn't admit it?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.

Director Liu nodded: "Not only do you not admit it, you also confuse right and wrong! Just today, their foreign affairs department specially sent officials to my embassy to protest! They said that you slandered Huang Yuxi and falsified his thesis.

Of course our staff refuted it on the spot. We told him that you were safeguarding academic fairness. We also submitted a report from the University of California, Berkeley. Guess what they said?
They said that you are not a biologist and lack professional knowledge in biological sciences, so your accusation that Huang Yuxi has falsified his paper is a slander without scientific basis! "

"What kind of logic is this? Science has already retracted the manuscript, which is enough to prove that I am right! Since it is right, why smear it!" Zhang Wei said with a bad look on his face. "Hey! The key is that people don't talk to you about the right or wrong of the facts now, but they talk to you about the motives. They said that accusations without scientific basis are deliberately smearing in terms of motives. Don't you think it's unreasonable?"

Director Liu continued with a look of helplessness: "Actually, this situation is very common in the diplomatic field. In order to gain more benefits, diplomats often find unfounded excuses.

It is perfectly normal for foreign diplomats to practice double standards when they say one thing but do another. How can we Chinese people value integrity as much as we do? We do whatever we say and we always do what we say! "

Principal Gu asked: "Director Liu, how do you plan to deal with a situation like this?"

"Of course we can also refute each other's confusing views, but in that case, it will definitely turn into a war of words, where you say yours, I say mine, and everyone says his own thing.

Things like quarrels will cause the accumulation of ill will on both sides. From our standpoint, we still hope to make more friends. On the basis of equality, communicate more with each other and understand each other more, so that we can achieve win-win cooperation!

Therefore, the best way is not to start a war of words with the other party, but to present the facts and reason. We provide strong evidence so that the other party has nothing to say. It is best not to find even a groundless accusation.

So I came here specifically to ask, from an academic perspective, is there any evidence that can be produced to refute the other party's claims? Director Liu asked.

"Don't tell me, I really have a solid basis here." Principal Gu smiled and raised the sample issue of "Science" in his hand.

Director Liu was a little confused, but Principal Gu said: "Let's figure out the logic first. What Bangzi means is that Zhang Wei is not a biologist, so Zhang Wei's accusation of Huang Yuxi's paper falsification is not based on scientific basis, but subjective framed, right?

According to this logic, if Zhang Wei is a biologist, then his accusation of Huang Yuxi's paper fraud is based on the professional judgment of biological sciences and has a scientific basis, so it does not constitute a false accusation.

In this case, you can tell them that Zhang Wei is a biologist! Isn’t this matter settled? "

"Principal Gu, your idea is not very clever. People will check whether Teacher Zhang is a biologist! If you check, the secret will be revealed! Then we will be passive."

"Let them check. Our Zhang Wei is not afraid of his shadow being distorted. He is a biologist!" Principal Gu said calmly.

"Principal Gu, please stop being so secretive! If you have any magical powers, use them quickly!" Director Liu said with a smile.

Principal Gu opened the sample issue of "Science" and found Zhang Wei's paper: "Director Liu, please look, this is the paper Zhang Wei just published, published in the latest issue of "Science"! "

"Principal Gu, I major in international relations. I can't understand these advanced papers of yours."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that this is a biology paper!" Principal Gu replied.

Director Liu was slightly stunned, and it took more than ten seconds to react: "Principal Gu, you mean that Teacher Zhang published a biology paper in Science?"

"That's right! I can publish a biology paper in Science and say that Zhang Wei is a biologist. Is there no problem?"

Director Liu immediately stepped forward and read the paper.

Although he majored in international relations, he had also studied high school biology and knew things like DNA and RNA, which fall under the category of biology.

"This is really a biology paper!" Director Liu looked happy and continued: "In this case, things will be much easier to handle. Principal Gu, can I take this Science journal with me?"

"I can't give you this. This is a sample issue sent by the editor to the author. I will give you some regular issues later." Principal Gu replied.

Director Liu took out his notebook: "Don't bother, I'll note which issue it is and just send someone to buy it."

……

In front of the embassy, ​​Director Jin got out of the car, but he did not take steps immediately. Instead, he pretended to adjust his tie and stood there for half a minute.

In just half a minute, all the reporters gathered around him.

"Director Jin, when you came here today, did the other party want to give us an answer?"

"Director Jin, do you think they will apologize to Professor Huang Yuxi? Will they punish Zhang Wei severely?"

Facing the reporters' questions, Director Jin put on a victor's attitude and said in a high-pitched voice: "Whether the other party will apologize to Professor Huang will have to wait until I go in to find out. But don't worry, no matter what the outcome, we will Our original intention to protect scientists will never change!”

After Director Jin finished speaking, he strode towards the front door.
