When she returned to school, she went straight to the laboratory, but it was empty. The experiment could not continue after such a big incident.
Zhuo Jingsi let Zhong Yue and the other two go about their own business, but in fact, everyone knew that perhaps today, or perhaps tomorrow, Wang Ren's protective uncle would do something.
There were many rumors about Wang Ren and his uncle Xu Lizheng in the school. Everyone was well aware of it, but no one said anything.
Those who knew a little about the inside story could not understand why the famous economist, Mr. Xu Lizheng, would be so protective of his nephew.
Those who knew more about the inside story could vaguely guess that Wang Ren and Xu Lizheng were uncle and nephew, but that was because of the strict birth control in the early years. From the beginning, Xu Lizheng had pulled Wang Ren under his sister's name. In fact, Wang Ren was his biological son.
Xu Lizheng was also a person. Back in the seventies and eighties, when he was still young, he gave up many temptations abroad and returned to China. He had a considerable status in the domestic economics field and had done some practical things in recent years.
After getting involved in administrative management, he was considered to have taken one step at a time in the school. When he was just over sixty, he sat firmly in the position of executive vice president of Gokyo University. He was also quite accomplished academically and was indeed a person who contributed.
At the same time, there were internal rumors that he was also a member of the central think tank, but this could not be confirmed. It was only a rumor.
But no one was perfect. Perhaps the only blemish in Xu Lizheng's life was Wang Ren.
When Wang Ren was young, he lived with his sister in a small place. Xu Lizheng's sister was not good at disciplining this fake son, so Wang Ren was rebellious and fought from a young age. He didn't even finish junior high school before he dropped out and mingled in society. He was even sent to prison when Xu Lizheng went abroad. Originally, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Later, because Xu Lizheng returned to China, he contributed a lot and personally acted as a guarantor. It took another two years for Wang Ren to be released.
Perhaps Xu Lizheng felt that he owed his "nephew" too much, so after he was released, he especially spoiled him.
Ten years ago, he found an excuse to drag his nephew, who didn't even have a junior high school diploma, into the school. It could be considered as arranging an iron rice bowl for him.
As Xu Lizheng's position and status rose higher and higher, Wang Ren also followed suit. He started as a school police officer and climbed up step by step. Gradually, under Xu Lizheng's shadow, he became a tyrant in the school and a rat's poop in a pot of soup.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone.
It was only last semester when Wang Ren ran into Wu Shan's gun because of the incident with Chen Guang that he suffered a slight setback. In the end, he just moved to another place.
Wu Shan was well aware of this, but this was the result of his negotiation with Xu Lizheng. Wang Ren was Xu Lizheng's biological son, and Chen Guang and Wu Shan were not related at all.
There was no need for the two of them to fall out because of the pestering of their juniors. Xu Lizheng being willing to give Wu Shan face was already very kind of him. It was only because of Wu Shan's amazing potential that Xu Lizheng was willing to give him face. However, potential did not represent strength. Xu Lizheng was giving in to Wu Shan, but Wu Shan could not make Xu Lizheng lower his head completely.
Before you actually sat in those positions, no one knew what the next term would be like.
Chen Guang found Zhuo Jingsi at her home. When she entered the door, she seemed to have just finished a phone call with someone. Her face was pale, like a frightened bunny.
"Teacher Zhuo, what's wrong?" Chen Guang strode in and felt that Zhuo Jingsi's expression was not right.
Zhuo Jingsi shook her head. "No … nothing …"
Chen Guang sat on the sofa. "You really don't know how to lie at all."
In the end, Zhuo Jingsi could not hide it anymore. The person who had just called was her tutor, Shu Lirong.
According to the school's leaders, they originally wanted to directly revoke her doctorate qualifications, but because Shu Lirong insisted on protecting her, the matter was temporarily put on hold.
Although Shu Lirong's administrative status was not high, her status in the academic world was not much lower than Xu Lizheng's. The two sides wrangled again and finally reached a compromise. They removed Zhuo Jingsi's position as the person in charge of the photocatalyst laboratory team, and removed her qualifications as a tutor that she had fought so hard to obtain.
She was temporarily retained as a student, but was not allowed to enter the laboratory. Instead, they arranged for a random company outside and sent her to be a technical consultant for at least a year. She could no longer continue the photocatalyst research that she had been doing for several years.
The school did not even need to find any special reasons. They just said that the company had a contract with the school and needed a doctorate student to go there for technical guidance.
The laboratory equipment was the school's. If they said they could not use it, then they would not let you use it.
Letting you be the laboratory leader was to train you, and they did not take a penny from you.
Even if they removed you today, you would not be able to go to anyone to complain.
Of course, Chen Guang knew how big a blow this matter was to Zhuo Jingsi, but he did not expect the other party's counterattack to come so quickly and so fiercely.
"This … It's all my fault. I didn't think things through." Chen Guang had already tried his best to get Zhuo Jingsi to distance herself from this matter, but she was still implicated. Even if it was just a gust of wind at the edge of the storm, it would still be a devastating blow to her research career.
For a person who was obsessed with research, this was indeed painful.
Zhuo Jingsi wiped away her tears. "It's not your fault. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same."
Chen Guang thought about it and really wanted to tell her, "I'll build a laboratory for you!"
However, before he could say it, Liuli's voice rang out in his mind. "Stop dreaming! I have my eyes on a big project and am in discussion with someone. With the money you have left, it's just enough. Don't even think about using a single cent! "
He was really unlucky. Why did this lady make a move at this time?
The two of them sat there for a while before Zhuo Jingsi seemed to suddenly react. "I have to go see my teacher!"
Chen Guang asked, "Plead for her?"
Zhuo Jingsi said as she changed her shoes, "No, my teacher must be very sad at this time. I'm the one who made things difficult for her."
It was an hour later when she saw Shu Lirong. Old Lady Shu was now seventy years old. Her hair was white, and she was wearing reading glasses as she sat in her study. She was also trembling with anger.
On the way here, Zhuo Jingsi had told Chen Guang that the old lady was getting on in years and was always worried that she wouldn't be able to do research for a few more years. Since more than ten years ago, she had been wholeheartedly focused on photocatalysis, hoping to produce some results before she became too old to be sober. Her laboratory was currently the most advanced among the five photocatalysis groups. Now that it had suffered such a disaster, it would definitely be a huge blow to the old lady. She hoped that she could understand when she saw the old lady later.
Zhuo Jingsi apologized to the old lady one after another. Old Lady Shu wanted to scold her, but seeing her remorseful and regretful look, she couldn't bear to say anything. She just sighed. "Sigh, that bastard Wang Ren came to our academy. This would have happened sooner or later. I've told Xu Lizheng many times, but it's useless. This can't be blamed on you. Who can be blamed for causing destruction in an academic place? "
"It's all my fault! Teacher Shu, this is all my fault! "Zhuo Jingsi was still apologizing.
Shu Lirong stretched her neck and looked at Chen Guang who was standing behind her. "You're the Chen Guang who hit someone, right?"
Chen Guang knew that he couldn't avoid it. He thought that he would definitely be scolded, so he shrunk his neck and took a step forward, standing in front of the old lady. "It's me."
Looking at the old lady's silver hair, her face full of age spots, and her trembling hands and feet, Chen Guang couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache.
