Chapter 370: Embarrassing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I will not include plagiarized works as citations in my thesis,” Guo Miao said slowly.

Everyone was stunned.

Plagiarizing a piece of work?

Cui Zhen’s thesis was very famous in Country K, but it did not cause much of a sensation in the global mathematics community, so many people did not know about it.

Mathematical Theory was only ranked third in the global mathematics community. It wasn’t a first-class journal.

Li Zheng, the editor-in-chief of the mathematics department, also stood up. He took the microphone from the staff and said, “Yeah, it’s a good thing that you reminded me, Miss Cui Zhen. I’m also a little confused. When 1 was listening just now, I already felt that some of Miss Guo Miao’s theories were based on Miss Cui Zhen’s theories. Your academic attitude is quite unprofessional.”

Tian Hai frowned as he looked at the journal in his hand. He had read every issue of mathematical theory, but he did not notice Cui Zhen’s paper.

At this moment, Guo Miao slowly spoke, “Chief Editor, you’re from Country K, aren’t you?”

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment before he slowly nodded. He was indeed from Country K.

“Back then, you added this plagiarized thesis to the translated version published by Country K and put it on HowNet. Was it to attack me today? You sure have great foresight,” Guo Miao said with a smile.

HowNet was a global thesis website. The papers on it were the most authoritative and the papers published on it were the most cutting-edge.

“When you still had the authority to translate the version, you did this kind of thing, didn’t you?” Guo Miao said with a smile.

Li Zheng felt a chill run down his spine. He had done this very secretly. How did Guo Miao know?

“At that time, I read almost all the articles about Kratz’s conjecture, but I only found the electronic version of this article, not the official version. Later, I realized that this article was not in the official version, but only in the translated version.”

Li Zheng stared at Guo Miao on the stage with a burning gaze.

At that time, he had become the chief editor of Mathematical Theory. Many people wanted to use his connections to publish papers in Mathematical Theory in exchange for some academic achievements. As long as they gave him some money, they could publish papers in their magazines. Many people in Country K had obtained a lot of academic achievements because of this.

This kind of violation of academic rules was simply unprecedented.

Hearing Guo Miao’s words, everyone looked at Li Zheng in unison. Li Zheng felt as if there was a knife stabbed into his back. Cui Zhen also looked at him.

“Li Zheng is so bold to use such a method to earn money. How did such a person become the chief editor?”

“He’s also a professor at the Institute of Technology in Country K. This time, the Institute of Technology and Mathematical Theory have been completely humiliated by him.”

“I don’t think the Mathematical Theory journal will hold much water in the future.”

Li Zheng raised his head and looked at Guo Miao with hatred.

If not for Guo Miao, how else would he have been discovered?

“You’re slandering me. Do you have evidence?” Li Zheng asked.

Guo Miao laughed. “I’ve sorted out all the electronic and paper versions of the thesis. 1 even went to the academic website in Country K to find your thesis. Do you want to admit it now?”

Guo Miao moved the mouse, and the PowerPoint on the screen changed, showing the limited edition Mathematical Theory publications from Country K.

Li Zheng’s face darkened. His behavior was not only an insult to mathematics but also to Country K.

Moreover, this mathematics forum was being broadcasted all over the world. At this moment, the comments screen was also very lively.

[Guo Miao is amazing. She probably already knew that those people from Country K would use this method to slander her, so she specially prepared a counterattack.]

[As expected of a great goddess, she is meticulous in her work.]

[Let’s see what those two people from Country K will say. They’re going to embarrass themselves all over the world. I’m dying of laughter! ]

Initially, everyone was very dissatisfied with the provocation of the two people from Country K. Now, the comments screen was filled with everyone’s cheers. “No, how is that possible? This thesis was clearly published in Mathematical Theory…” Cui Zhen explained in a panic.

“Yes, it was indeed published in Mathematical Theory, but your thesis hasn’t been internationally certified. It’s not valid, and there’s even plagiarism..”
