Elizabeth still had a sarcastic smile on her face.
She knew that as long as she mentioned Irwin's name, these people would no longer suspect her.
Irwin's reputation was like thunder, and he was respected by everyone.
How could Ying Zijin, a newcomer who had just stepped into the academic world, compare with him?
However, the girl's sudden action made Elizabeth's smile freeze again. "What did you say?"
She lowered her head and picked up the phone with trembling hands. She saw the phone number on the screen.
She knew that Irwin had a special work phone number, but it was his assistant's, so it was still a landline number.
However, the number Ying Zijin pressed was a phone number from Continent O.
Elizabeth's hand trembled again, and she did not move for a long time. Her brain stopped working at this moment.
"You don't want to call?" Ying Zijin nodded slightly and said, "I'll call for you."
Under everyone's gaze, the girl pressed the dial button and the speaker button.
"Beep!" The call was quickly connected.
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously very happy. "Ying, are you in Continent O? Or do you have something to tell me? "
"Yes, professor. I'm in Continent O now, and I do have something to tell you." Ying Zijin said, "An assistant researcher in the laboratory illegally bought my paper and published it in the journal of the International Physics Center. “
Irwin had to take this seriously. His kind voice sank for the first time. "An assistant researcher in the laboratory bought your paper? Which one? "
"Elizabeth Laurent."
The sound of typing came from the other end of the phone. Obviously, he was looking for information.
After a while, Irwin spoke again. "There is such a person, but she has not been exposed to the core experimental data. Since she plagiarized your paper, she will no longer be in the laboratory."
Irwin knew very well what kind of person Ying Zijin was.
He would believe her without asking for evidence.
Ying Zijin nodded. "Okay, thank you, professor."
The conversation between the two ended.
With just a few words, he decided whether Elizabeth could stay in the laboratory or not.
"…"
The hall was silent.
Except for Zuo Li, everyone was shocked.
"You think this is Professor Irwin?" Y'lisabet's eyes were gloomy as she dug her nails into her palms. "Who do you think you can fool by finding a random person to impersonate Professor Irwin? Don't you Hua people like to play with knockoffs? "
"I've already said that I wrote this thesis!"
Although she said so, cold sweat had already broken out on her forehead. She had heard Helvin's voice before.
That voice was exactly the same.
Also, Irwin's English accent had its own characteristics, and it wasn't that no one could imitate it.
"Alright." Ying Zijin remained calm and composed. "Since it was written by you, take out the second part of the paper. If you don't have it, I have it here."
She took the mouse and opened another private blog.
The publication date is still August 2, 2021.
"Say it!" Zuo Li was aggressive. "Didn't you write it? Don't you know that this paper is only the first part? "
Elizabeth's lips trembled, and her face turned pale bit by bit.
She had only bought the first part of the paper for $300 million?
A few professors read the paper carefully again and couldn't help but exclaim, "Not bad, there are some foreshadowing in this paper. It's not that we can't see it, but after pointing it out, we can see that this is only the first part of the thesis." “
This time, she was completely hammered.
Everyone's gaze was like a thorn in her back, and Y'lisabet's face turned red.
The extreme embarrassment made her feel ashamed and angry, and she turned to leave.
However, when she reached the door, Y'lisabet suddenly stopped and turned back. "I'll give you $100 million, and you'll keep this to yourself."
"Wow, $100 million and you're so arrogant?" Sinai dug her ears. "I'm only worth $1 billion. If you don't have the money, don't come out in front of others and pretend to be rich. Don't you think I'm an eyesore?"
Y'lisabet was too embarrassed to stay any longer.
However, because of her excessive panic, she fell three times in a row on her way down the stairs, and even dropped her high heels.
The person in charge didn't believe in the use of computer technology to change the timeline.
He was sure that Y'lisabet was the plagiarist.
The person in charge looked serious. "Professor Zuo Li, Miss Ying, what do you think?"
"What did she say just now?" Zuo Li sneered. "Didn't you want to make it public? Then make it public. Let's see whose reputation in the scientific research world is ruined first. "
If she had the guts to do it, she had to be able to bear the consequences.
The person in charge nodded and hesitated. "But the Laurent family …"
Y'lisabet was the daughter of the Laurent family.
She was able to successfully buy the paper because the International Physics Centre was afraid of the Laurent family's authority.
After all, the big laboratory and some advanced technology were controlled by the big forces.
The Laurent family could do whatever they wanted.
"It's just a family matter," Ying Zijin said calmly. "Don't worry."
"A family matter?" The person in charge was stunned. He was a little confused, but he still agreed. "We'll prepare to release the notice."
Forcefully buying the thesis without the knowledge of the author was too despicable.
Ying Zijin and Zuo Li left the International Astronomical Research Centre.
"Kid, this paper of yours is really well written." Sinai was reading the paper while eating a lollipop. "This parallel universe does exist. We've already observed it. However, we haven't built a spaceship yet, so we can't go there yet."
She thought for a moment and said, "But we can still send it out from the solar system. I haven't been there, but I heard from some of the guards from the Sage Institute that the biological civilizations on other planets in our universe are not as advanced as ours. It's meaningless."
"Classmate Ying." Zuo Li couldn't hold it in any longer. He lowered his voice and asked, "Is your sister suffering from a chuunibyou disease?"
What were they talking about?
There was no conclusive proof of the existence of a parallel universe. Scientists only speculated that it existed, but they had already observed it?
Ying Zijin was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Obviously not."
Zuo Li turned his head.
Sinai muttered, "It's a little cold." Then, she took out a flaky object half the size of her palm from her pocket.
Then, she dripped a few drops of liquid on the flaky object and shook it with her hand.
Zuo Li watched as the small piece of cloth slowly turned into a leather jacket.
Sinai put on the jacket leisurely with both hands in her pockets. The miniature tires under her shoes pushed her forward.
Zuo Li was speechless.
Damn it, he was blind!

At the same time.
Country J.
Venus Group Headquarters.
In the CEO's office.
"Brother, it's not easy. You actually took the initiative to come to work?" Ian rubbed his hands. "Can I rest for a few days?"
"There's something I need you to do. Stop all the journals of the International Physics Center for this issue. Don't let a single one leak out." Fu Yunshen looked up and said calmly, "Stop all investments and withdraw all funds."
"There won't be a single cent until the president and vice president are replaced."
Ian was a little confused. "What's wrong with the International Physics Center? I'm not in charge of scientific research. "
He was only in charge of approving financial applications.
There were specialized people in charge of contacting scientific research.
"Illegal trading of theses." Fu Yunshen clasped his hands together. His peach blossom eyes were as deep as the night. He said lazily, "They've done something to my daughter."
Ian's jaw dropped. "No way, how dare they?"
Were they crazy?
Buying and selling theses to investors?
Wasn't this giving up big money for small profits?
"Also, investigate their illegal income and the victims of similar incidents." Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes. "Unilaterally breaching the contract. According to the terms of the contract, ten times the compensation."
Ten times the compensation was enough to make the president and the other executives cough up all the money they had taken.
Ian nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I'll go now."
Venus Group's investments were open and transparent. The executives of the International Physics Center did not dare to misappropriate them.
They could only accept bribes.
But this time, they had kicked an iron plate when they were trying to stir up trouble in the Tai Sui.
The International Physics Center had to be cleaned up.
Ian thought for a while and asked, "Brother, should we investigate the other organizations as well?"
Venus Group had too many companies. There were bound to be a few pests. Not to mention, Venus Group was only an investor of the International Physics Center.
The headquarters did not have the energy to do so.
Fu Yunshen nodded faintly and said, "Check them too."
Ian nodded and walked out. Then, he realized that something was wrong.
Wasn't he supposed to return the work to his boss?
Why was he busy again?
In the office.
Fu Yunshen went out after dealing with a few documents.
He was wearing a mask and a disguise under it.
She took the elevator down and bumped into the president of O Alliance, Joseph, and his secretary who were also coming downstairs.
There was no interaction.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Fu Yunshen left.
Joseph frowned and said, "Only Ian, the chief directors, and the CEO have their offices upstairs, right?"
The secretary nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
Joseph frowned and said, "That's strange."
He had never seen this man before.
But he did not look like the CEO. The man was dressed very casually. None of his clothes were branded.
The secretary hesitated and said, "I think he looks like President Fu in the Asia Pacific region."
"Asia Pacific region?" Joseph laughed when he heard the words. "If the CEO cares about the Asia Pacific region, he would not have waited for two years after the North and South M regions were established."
Their CEO was a native of Continent O.
What did he have to do with Fu Yunshen?
Joseph did not think further.
He must have just gone upstairs to report. There were so many employees at the headquarters and there were many people he did not know.

Afternoon.
International Physics Center.
The President leaned against the bed. One of his arms was fixed by a splint.
He looked ferocious and said, "Damn it. Ying Zijin and Zuo Li are Hua people. They are finished!"
When he recovered from his injuries, he wanted to completely ruin the reputation of these two people in the physics world.
The President took a few deep breaths and was about to drink some water when the door was kicked open.
Before he could react, he was violently dragged off the bed by two people.
The President screamed, "Who are you? What do you want?! "
No one answered him.
He was dragged all the way to the first floor. Only then did he realize that several founding members of the International Physics Center had come out.
These founding members were in a semi-retired state. They should have gone home to retire.
The President trembled and looked up. Only then did he notice the Venus Group logo on the group of people.
Ian personally led the team and took out a document. He said calmly, "The President and Vice-President of the International Physics Center will not be changed. All senior executives who are involved in the illegal trading of theses will not be dealt with. The International Physics Center will not receive any investment in the future."
The founding members' expressions changed.
One of the founding members stepped forward and grabbed the President's collar. "You are buying and selling theses?!"
The President broke out in cold sweat and his face turned pale. "Yes … I am, but …"
He had done too many things like this in the past.
Buying and selling theses was very common in the academic world. University students and graduate students would buy theses for their graduation.
However, it was indeed a gray area. On the surface, it was prohibited.
However, if there was a demand, there would be a market. Some people would even write theses and sell them.
Therefore, it formed a huge trading chain.
The President had originally planned to give Ying Zijin tens of thousands of yuan after the scientific journal was published.
Who would refuse money?
Ian did not have the slightest sympathy. "Bring him here. I will interrogate him. You can search the entire building and see if there is anything else."
The two of them escorted the President into a room next door.
"Director Ian!" The President did not care about his injuries. He scrambled forward. "Director Ian, I won't do it again. I won't do it again. Please give me a chance. Please give me a chance!"
How did the Venus Group get involved?!
"President, you are quite brave." Ian clapped and smiled. "You are buying and selling theses. You are buying and selling them to the President's wife."
