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

Chapter 165: Full blame-shifting skills

Two days later, Director Jin met Counselor Tang again. Both of them were acquaintances. After a few polite greetings, they got down to business.

"Counsellor Tang, you should be able to respond to the content of our last negotiation, right? I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer!"

"Director Kim, first of all, on behalf of our side, I would like to reiterate once again that falsification of papers is an extremely unethical and harmful behavior, which seriously undermines the integrity of academic research and the credibility of the academic community.

Our country has always been unswervingly opposed to and severely cracked down on paper fraud. Our country has always been committed to maintaining the purity and credibility of the academic community and promoting the healthy development of scientific research.

Secondly, after our investigation, Chinese scholar Zhang Wei accused Professor Huang Yuxi of falsifying his paper. Not only are there sufficient facts, but there is also sufficient scientific basis. There is no slander or slander at all. "

"I guess you won't admit it!" Director Jin snorted coldly.

This answer was within Director Jin's expectation. He wanted to protect his own scientists, and other countries would also protect their own scientists.

What's more, in terms of right and wrong in this matter, it was originally decided by others. Since it makes sense, there is no need for them to admit their mistakes and apologize.

So next, it should come to a stage where everyone talks about their own things. You talk about your city gate and building, and I talk about my hip axis. What we each say will not be able to communicate with each other.

Director Jin then said: "Zhang Wei, a scholar from your country, is not a biologist, but he accuses a biologist in the field of biology. Where is the scientific basis for this?"

"Director Jin, I am a professional diplomat. We are meeting officially now. How could I be joking! Zhang Wei is really a biologist! We will never get it wrong. After all, Mr. Zhang Wei is a member of our country. scholar."

"What is he doing out there with a copy of "Science"? Could it be that "Science" also states who is a biologist? Don't tease me!"

Counselor Tang explained: "This paper mainly introduces the new technology of nucleoside modification, which is a bioscience technology and the latest research result of Chinese scholar Zhang Wei!"

Counselor Tang smiled and continued: "Science is one of the top journals in the world, and I don't need to introduce its academic status. Zhang Wei's ability to publish biological papers in Science is enough to prove that he is A biologist!"

"Counsellor Tang, are you kidding me?"

Counselor Tang pretended to be surprised: "Director Jin, I don't know where you heard that Zhang Wei is a biologist? Your information is obviously wrong. According to the information we have learned, Zhang Wei clearly He’s a biologist!”

"I have other proofs here." Counselor Tang then took out the "Science" journal.

Director Jin was startled when he heard the words "bioscience and technology", and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.

Such a result is acceptable to Director Jin. The retraction of Huang Yuxi's paper is an academic scandal after all. If everyone can finally say their own stories, it will be considered a success in shifting the blame. At the same time, it can shift the focus and avoid losing face to the country.

"Since Director Jin does not recognize the certificate from Tsinghua University, nor does he recognize the filing by the Ministry of Education of my country, then Director Jin should recognize the American journal Science!"

Counselor Tang immediately took out several documents: "Mr. Zhang Wei is currently studying in the Biology Department of Tsinghua University. This is a certificate issued by Tsinghua University in my country. This one is a filing document from the Ministry of Education in my country. These can prove that Zhang Wei is A biologist!"

Director Jin was stunned. He thought that Counselor Tang would find an excuse to refute him, but he didn't expect that he would use such a ridiculous excuse.

Counselor Tang said that he found Zhang Wei's paper and handed it to Director Jin; "Please see, this is the proof I provided. This paper was written by Zhang Wei, a Chinese scholar."

Director Jin quickly read the paper and barely understood it.

"You said Zhang Wei is a biologist? Then please provide evidence!" Director Jin snorted coldly.

"Is this considered proof?" Director Jin shook his head: "Counsellor Tang, you can produce tens of thousands of such proofs at any time, but we don't recognize it!"

Doubts flashed across Director Jin's eyes.

As a diplomat, there is definitely no problem with English proficiency, but the paper is too professional and I am not specialized in this field. It is normal that I cannot understand it.

"This...how is this possible! Isn't Zhang Wei studying graphene? When did he become a biologist again!"

Director Jin planned to continue to hold on to the fact that Zhang Wei was not a biologist.

Director Jin lost his composure. For diplomats, this questioning was already a point deduction.

"Director Jin, even if I can lie to you, the journal Science will not lie to you! By the way, I remember that the retracted paper of Professor Huang Yuxi was also published in Science, right?

Since your country considers Professor Huang to be a biologist, then Zhang Wei, who also published a biology paper in Science, must also be a biologist! "

Counselor Tang finally showed a winner's smile. He stared at Director Jin and continued:

"Since Zhang Wei is a biologist, when he accused Professor Huang Yuxi of falsifying his paper, he obviously discovered the problem from the perspective of a biologist, which means there is a scientific basis. Since there is a scientific basis, it is definitely not a subjective smear. and slander. Therefore, your accusation against Chinese scholar Zhang Wei is completely divorced from the facts and is unfounded. Therefore, we believe that what Zhang Wei did was not smearing and slandering Professor Huang Yuxi. of fairness and justice.

Here, we hope that you will base your information on facts and not believe in rumors to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. When encountering similar incidents in the future, please carefully investigate the facts first to avoid wasting time. "

Director Jin's expression suddenly froze, and he didn't know how to answer at this time.

Counselor Tang had a sarcastic smile on his lips, and his eyes revealed contempt and disdain. This smile was like a sharp knife, piercing into Director Jin's heart. Director Jin could feel the endless ridicule and provocation in the smile.

But what can I do to ridicule you? What can I do if I provoke you? You are completely speechless!
As you said at the beginning, Zhang Wei is not a biologist, so Zhang Wei accused Huang Yuxi of falsifying his paper and was not professional. He was deliberately smearing and slandering.

Now that Zhang Wei is a biologist, Zhang Wei's accusation of Huang Yuxi's paper falsification has become professional. Then it can no longer be said that Zhang Wei deliberately smeared and slandered.

All this is entirely based on Director Jin's own logic, which is equivalent to using Director Jin's own spear to stab his own shield.

At this time, whether Director Jin said that the spear was sharper or the shield was stronger, he was just slapping himself in the face.

If there is a quarrel between ruffians, slapping yourself in the face will only be embarrassing at most. But this is foreign affairs. If you slap yourself in the face, you will lose the face of the country, which is serious.

After thinking about this, Director Jin knew that in today's round, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Counsellor Tang, it is true that we did not investigate this matter clearly. I formally withdraw my protest and apologize for our reckless behavior!" Director Jin bowed to Counselor Tang without any emotion or reluctance. A bow.

……

When Director Jin walked out, reporters immediately gathered around him.

Before entering, Director Kim had just put on a show in front of reporters, putting on an impassioned expression and vowing to defend the country's interests.

At that time, Director Jin felt that there was no way he could lose this game. If Counselor Tang is willing to apologize, then he will appear in front of reporters as a winner, and by then he will be regarded as half a national hero.

Even if Counselor Tang refuses to apologize, the result will be nothing more than everyone talking about their own things. When the time comes, he can also give an indignant speech in front of reporters.

When giving a speech, choose something that is beneficial to you and you will definitely not lose points in the end. If you are lucky, you can still score points.

However, what he expected did not happen at all. He didn't apologize, and he didn't each say his own thing. Instead, he was defeated by his opponent under the logical rules he set, and then he bowed and apologized.

How can you explain this to these reporters? If the other party instead of apologizing instead apologizes, will they be beaten up by the protesting people at the scene?
Even if he didn't get beaten, he would definitely have to take the blame if things turned out like this. Not to mention being punished, it would be nice to be able to keep his job.

Director Jin looked at the reporters around him. Their earnest eyes were like a cold wind, making him shudder. Thinking of the consequences he might face, Director Jin felt helpless, as if he had lost all support for a moment. People become decadent and depressed.

The next second, Director Jin suddenly realized that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to take the blame!
Bangzi's innate skill of scapegoating finally came into play at this moment. In just a few breaths, he had already thought of the target of scapegoating.

We can't blame foreigners, but we can't blame our own people!
The next second, Director Jin suddenly put on a distressed expression and said, "You are harming the country! Some media in our country are simply harming the country!"

The sentence "misleading the country" immediately focused everyone's attention on Director Jin.

Director Jin continued: "Many media have previously reported that Zhang Wei is not a biologist, and the reason for our protest is also based on misinformation."

"Director Jin, you mean that Zhang Wei is not a biologist and this is wrong information?" a reporter immediately asked.

Director Jin nodded: "Yes, the other party has produced conclusive evidence to prove that Zhang Wei is a biologist with very excellent academic ability! We were completely misled!"

As you all know, the reason for our previous protest was that Zhang Wei is not a biologist, so his accusation of Professor Huang's paper falsification is unprofessional and has no scientific basis.

But now, the other party has proven that Zhang Wei is a biologist, so all our previous reasons are invalid. Not only would the other party not apologize, but we, on the other hand, seemed a bit unreasonable because we got the wrong information!
All of this is caused by our media! Our media published information without detailed investigation, which led to the failure of our protest! "

Among the reporters at the scene, someone had reported that Zhang Wei was not a biologist. When he saw Director Jin passing the blame, he suddenly looked unconvinced.

"Director Jin, what evidence did the other party present to prove that Zhang Wei is a biologist?" the reporter asked immediately.

"Is the journal Science enough to prove it? Zhang Wei published a biological paper in the journal Science!" Director Jin immediately replied.

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in awe!

They can all publish biology papers in Science, not just biologists, but biologists with extremely high academic standards!
