This Huaxia early morning, many people in Huaxia downloaded Qiao Ze's paper the mont it beca 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 frawork, it had already been proven in various physical experints.
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 sa morning, just past eight o'clock, Qiao Ze received another call from the National Natural Science Foundation's committee.
It was the sa person as before, but this ti their attitude was much more humble.
The ssage 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 claid, 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 punishnt.
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 so 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 aning 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 beco 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 ti-consuming, especially when inspiration struck suddenly.
But his uncle Li absolutely had to beco an academician, which was Qiao Ze's obsession. Because he knew deep down his uncle Li still wished to beco an academician. So, if Li chose not to forgive, Qiao would be willing to spend more ti, 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 rit 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 arrangents.
Truth be told, from Li Jian Gao's perspective, Qiao Ze's developnt was indeed a bit too fast, so fast it caught him off guard, leaving him ntally 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 ti.
But Professor Chen's days were still not easy.
After all, Qiao Ze had already used Dou Dou to ticulously 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 ti 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 ti 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 soone, they certainly had their thods.
In just two days, all of Professor Chen's papers from his undergraduate, master's, doctoral stages, and his journey to beco 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.
Soon, claims of plagiarism in the papers from his ti as a doctoral student abroad, and misappropriation of student achievents during his tenure as an associate professor, among other acts of academic misconduct, were exposed.
For a ti, the Huaxia Mathematical Community was agitated...
For the university, the pressure was imnse...
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.
