Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 376 - 192: Arguing and Unheard Forms of Algebra
This Huaxia early morning, many people in Huaxia downloaded Qiao Ze’s paper the moment it became available.
Those who were into mathematics did so too, but there were especially many who were involved in high-energy particle and quantum physics research.
Qiao Ze had indeed underestimated the influence of Yang-Mills Theory.
Although Yang-Mills Theory had never been completed within a rigorous mathematical framework, it had already been proven in various physical experiments.
Particularly with the discovery of the Higgs boson in recent years, which was like solid evidence.
Therefore, the impact of this paper went far beyond Qiao Ze’s understanding.
On the same morning, just past eight o’clock, Qiao Ze received another call from the National Natural Science Foundation’s committee.
It was the same person as before, but this time their attitude was much more humble.
The message was quite simple.
The previous anonymous accuser had taken the initiative to call them. It was said to be a Professor Chen Cheng from East University, who not only wanted to retract his own accusation but would also issue an apology to Li Jian Gao and Xilin University of Technology in a news portal.
According to what the other party claimed, Professor Chen had also been misled into thinking that Li Jian Gao’s project lacked any innovative value and contradicted the funding direction of the National Natural Science Foundation. But after he diligently studied Li Jian Gao’s project, he realized that everything was a misunderstanding.
Of course, the other party also stated that there would definitely be punishment.
In the future, applications submitted by Professor Chen would no longer be accepted. Additionally, the National Natural Science Foundation followed the procedure to inform Chen’s university, which would enforce some penalties according to their regulations.
Overall, in Qiao Ze’s understanding, the honest man had finally managed to hold his ground.
The other party’s meaning was also very clear, Li’s project would definitely pass, so they hoped Dou Dou would refrain from continuing the drama series on Weibo.
After simply dealing with the call in a few words, Qiao Ze took the initiative to call Li Jian Gao.
Regarding this matter, Qiao Ze still needed to consider Li’s attitude.
He himself was indifferent; whether or not he could become a Jieqing or ascend to the rank of an academician, Qiao Ze did not value these titles that much.
Going through other people’s projects was actually quite time-consuming, especially when inspiration struck suddenly.
But his uncle Li absolutely had to become an academician, which was Qiao Ze’s obsession. Because he knew deep down his uncle Li still wished to become an academician. So, if Li chose not to forgive, Qiao would be willing to spend more time, to complete the tasks he hadn’t done before.
If he failed to fulfill even this small wish of Li’s, it would indeed be a disservice to the kindness he had received.
As for Li Jian Gao...
He had received the call from the National Natural Science Foundation even earlier than Qiao Ze, and he had long been numbed by the experience.
What merit did he have...
That prompted the higher-ups to personally call for reassurance, even offering guarantees.
If Li Jian Gao still harbored a trace of ambition for Jieqing and academia before, now he had already decided to lie low.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of ’lying low’ that the general public commonly understood, but rather, he was willing to let Qiao Ze make all the arrangements.
Truth be told, from Li Jian Gao’s perspective, Qiao Ze’s development was indeed a bit too fast, so fast it caught him off guard, leaving him mentally unprepared for many things.
As for this anonymous reporting incident, Li Jian Gao didn’t take it to heart at all, and hadn’t even gotten angry about it.
Although it was causing a commotion outside, he had consistently chosen to play dead. He was even too lazy to check WeChat, not bothering to answer calls from friends.
No matter how much noise was outside, if they really wanted to revoke his Jieqing status, it didn’t matter to him.
It would allow him to slow down and catch his breath.
So his telephone conversation with Qiao Ze was also very peaceful, completely in line with Qiao Ze’s understanding of an honest person.
See...
Uncle Li was just too honest! He abided by the rules! Unversed in fighting back!
The notion that the world likes to bully honest people was once again firmly entrenched in Qiao Ze’s mind.
However, since Li Jian Gao didn’t want to pursue the matter, Qiao Ze also gave up continuing the research on the remaining Jieqing projects.
It was a waste of time.
But Professor Chen’s days were still not easy.
After all, Qiao Ze had already used Dou Dou to meticulously analyze the projects of a dozen newly appointed Jieqings on Weibo.
One could imagine the fury of these more than ten professors.
They couldn’t vent their anger on Qiao Ze for the time being, but Chen Cheng was just an ordinary associate professor...
The professors who were able to be appointed Jieqing no matter the field, were certainly capable. The resources they could mobilize were also far more than those of an ordinary associate professor, and it was foreseeable that Professor Chen would not have an easy time in the academic world in the future.
Indeed, that was the case.
Those with high academic qualifications of course wouldn’t resort to violence, but when they took to making life difficult for someone, they certainly had their methods.
In just two days, all of Professor Chen’s papers from his undergraduate, master’s, doctoral stages, and his journey to become an associate professor were dug up.

Even papers published in second-rate journals in Australia as part of his doctoral studies to graduate were not overlooked. Enjoy more content from novelbuddy
Soon, claims of plagiarism in the papers from his time as a doctoral student abroad, and misappropriation of student achievements during his tenure as an associate professor, among other acts of academic misconduct, were exposed.
For a time, the Huaxia Mathematical Community was agitated...
For the university, the pressure was immense...
The eventual decision by the university was to directly terminate its contract with Chen Cheng.
There was no other choice; it wasn’t a complaint from students or ordinary netizens.
It was a collective accusation from professors at major universities across the country, and the effect was indeed quite different.
But in reality, this incident did not cause much stir among the general public; it didn’t even break into the top thirty trending topics.
