Chapter 235 Is this your professional ethics?

Just because Lu Youyou is Lu Zhiyu's biological daughter, Luo Youliang doesn't believe that she has anything to do with academic fraud.

What went wrong?
Luo Youliang has many connections in the education field over the years, so he plans to ask privately first to see if there is any misunderstanding.

Lu Youyou on the other side knew nothing about this.

Everything went smoothly with the research. She even had to think about what to eat in the cafeteria every day, but in the laboratory there seemed to be no bottleneck.

There was only one reason that could make her slow down: she had run out of money.

Under her highly cost-effective research model, the funding is extremely durable, but it will eventually run out.

When Lu Youyou went to Luo Youliang's office, she saw a Charizard with a very dark face cursing on the phone.

Luo Youliang sneered, "You must give me an explanation" before hanging up the phone.

When he saw Lu Youyou, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, and was even speechless.

Saying it would make him seem incompetent. More than half a month has passed, and not only has the problem not been resolved, it has even gotten worse.

The person who made the complaint turned out to be a lecturer in their department, who also submitted so-called "evidence" to prove that Lu Youyou plagiarized his work.

When Luo Youliang found out, his mind went blank. He couldn't understand why the enemy came from within.

Now I can’t contact the lecturer. He actually said that he believed the organization’s investigation results and would not contact his old colleagues from National Tsing Hua University to avoid suspicion.

What is this thing called? !

He originally wanted to find out the truth and solve the matter quickly so as not to affect Lu Youyou, but now it seems that he has no choice but to do so.

"Xiaolu, that funding may not be approved for the time being."

"Because of financial constraints?"

Lu Youyou asked casually. She couldn't think of any other reason.

"No..." Luo Youliang couldn't open his mouth. How could he say it?
Although he did not participate in the whole process, Lu Youyou would report the progress to him every once in a while, and he was very clear about how the report was written.

Isn’t it an international joke to say that Lu Youyou plagiarized?
But I have to say it anyway. I can't take such a big blame for no reason.

"It's like this. Someone reported you for academic fraud and plagiarizing other people's research results."

Luo Youliang felt like his mouth was dirty just by saying those two words, and he immediately spoke to comfort Lu Youyou without waiting for her to react.

"But don't worry. I absolutely believe you're innocent, and so do the professors who participated in the verification. We're all on your side!"

Lu Youyou was not as excited as Luo Youliang thought. She had experienced the cycle of life and death, so what was this little thing?
Luo Youliang looked at Lu Youyou cautiously. Why was this girl laughing? Was she mad?

Lu Youyou really thought it was ridiculous. Wouldn't it be foolish to sue her for plagiarism? It would be better to say that she was an alien, so slicing her would be faster.

"Where's the evidence? You can't just say it casually, right?"

"The evidence is in the hands of the Xiaoyu Investigation Team. There's something else I need to tell you..." Luo Youliang was having trouble speaking. "The person who sued you is Jiang Yu, a lecturer in our department."

Lu Youyou was stunned when she heard the name, and finally dug out a strange face from her memory.

Half a year ago, she shared a data set on rare materials with Jiang Yu’s project team, and Jiang Yu was the person she was in contact with.

She had initially asked if she could add the project team to the list of authors, but they declined, saying they hadn't made any contributions and didn't want to take credit for it. After that, whenever they occasionally ran into each other in the department, Jiang Yu would politely greet them. They weren't close, but they were definitely not strangers.

How could it be him?
Lu Youyou recalled carefully, but there seemed to be no clues.

"And then, doesn't proving plagiarism require both parties to provide evidence, or for the parties involved to confront each other?"

"Even if you don't come, I'm going to look for you. The investigation team will come to you to verify the facts. Please make a list of your research process in the next few days, mainly the time nodes, and preferably with witnesses and physical evidence."

Luo Youliang sighed inwardly. He originally thought that it would be convenient and easy for Lu Youyou to conduct research alone, but now it seems that it is not entirely beneficial. At least it will be difficult to find witnesses.

Lu Youyou was very calm. She had plenty of evidence and was not afraid even if someone used a dirty trick on her. She had a guardian beast at home that had so much energy that it had nowhere to use it.

Seeing that she was silent, Luo Youliang thought the girl was scared: "Don't worry too much, I and several professors will testify for you. We have nothing to fear from our own shadows."

Although Luo Youliang is Lu Zhiyu's old classmate, he only knows his public identity. He had heard that Lu Youyou's husband was a soldier, but his position and rank were confidential information, so he was not very clear about it.

Luo Youliang was worried that Lu Youyou would be overwhelmed by the sudden storm, so he kept comforting her. Lu Youyou smiled at him.

"It's okay. I'll organize the information. Just let me know when the investigation team arrives."

Lu Youyou didn't take this episode too seriously. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, and it's not impossible that it will attract the jealousy of villains.

I won’t go back to the lab today. It’s a good opportunity to give myself a half-day break. I’ll start organizing the evidence tomorrow.

She walked leisurely out of the campus and thought, "Why don't we go to Quanjude to buy a roast duck later? I haven't eaten it for a long time and I'm a little craving it."

Just as I walked out of the school gate, a few people suddenly rushed over from the side of the road. They all looked gentle and refined, but their expressions had nothing to do with being gentle and refined.

"Student Lu Youyou, you claimed to have made a breakthrough in the field of seawater desalination, but you were reported for academic fraud. What do you think about this?"

"Student Lu, do you know that doing this violates academic ethics and may be a crime? What do you have to say?"

In addition to the barrage of questions, there was also the constantly flashing camera, which captured Lu Youyou's cold face.

With such attire and equipment, he could do nothing but be a reporter.

Lu Youyou understood instantly that the so-called plagiarism scandal was not just a matter of envy or jealousy, but was obviously carefully planned by someone.

Even the students in the same department don’t know her research topic, how could the reporter know it?
The people in front of her should be from two media outlets. It was such a coincidence that they were blocking the school gate together, and they chose to do so when Gu Qingye didn't come to pick her up.

"Journalism requires seeking truth from facts. Condemning people as soon as you open your mouth, is this your professional ethics?"

Lu Youyou said this coldly and turned to look for the guard.

"Comrade, these people from society are harassing students at school. Please deal with them."

Lu Youyou is a celebrity in Tsinghua University, and they have seen Gu Qingye coming to pick people up more than once. This person is not only a student but also a military wife, so she must be protected.

Many people in the security department are retired and have transferred to other jobs, so their sense of collective honor has increased significantly.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop! What are you doing here? This is a school, no outsiders are allowed to enter!"

"Don't move, or we'll call the police!"
