On a Friday in early November, the juniors and juniors of Lexus Laboratory gathered again in the conference room of the college building, waiting for the arrival of the group meeting.
In the past, most group meetings in the laboratory were relatively relaxed, but today, everyone's faces were quite solemn.
The anonymous report letter was widely circulated on the Internet. Although Ling Zhi did not deliberately tell people around him about it, Zhao Shiyan, Chen Feng and Lin Qisong all learned about it from different channels.
the existence of something.
The content of the report letter mainly talks about Wang Haibo, Lingzhi's mentor, who used students as coolies without compensation during the research period, ignored the students' scientific research, allowed students to delay their graduation, and many other bad behaviors.
He even talked about other teachers, such as the recent incident of Tang Yongxiu from the School of Computer Science at Hua University, which showed that Tang Yongxiu’s mentor Zhang Yuqing and other Hua University teachers have squeezed students to an extent in the field of scientific research.
Such an outrageous level!
The comment also cited some screenshots of many other students who had published high-level papers but were delayed by their instructors as proof, further supporting the authenticity of this comment.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar!
If you just accuse a tutor, it doesn't matter. What a student says is not enough to be believed by everyone.
But the terrible thing is that this anonymous person also cited incidents such as Tang Yongxiu jumping off a building to support his point of view, which made the teachers of Hua University collectively fall into the trap. In addition, many people echoed in the comment area, and finally attracted the attention of the school.
.
Although some people retorted in the comment area, saying that not all teachers at Hua University are like this, such positive voices cannot cover up the turmoil caused by this comment. The school has set up a leadership group specifically to deal with this.
An investigation was launched following the incident.
Because the first target of this incident was Wang Haibo, Ling Zhi's mentor, and the second target was Zhang Yuqing, the vice president of the college, everyone would inevitably think that the person who posted this comment was probably a student of Mr. Wang Haibo.
Otherwise, if he was a student of Teacher Zhang Yuqing, why would Teacher Wang Haibo be involved? With the Tang Yongxiu incident, wouldn’t it be possible to overthrow Zhang Yuqing in one fell swoop? Involving Teacher Wang Haibo would be unnecessary.
Therefore, everyone participating in the group meeting was very nervous. They did not know who was present and made the comment, which actually involved Director Wang.
In fact, to be honest, it doesn’t matter who posted it at this time. What matters is how to deal with Director Wang’s thunderous wrath later!
After a while, familiar footsteps sounded outside the conference room. Director Wang walked into the conference room expressionlessly, sat at the front seat, glanced at it, and said directly to everyone:
"I know some of you have objections to me. If you have any objections, just say so. Don't post them online and occupy public resources. This is not good for everyone."
"You young people, you are really spoiled! You are spoiled! You are spoiled! If you suffer a little injustice, you will die. I remember when I was studying for a Ph.D., the graduation requirements were much more stringent than you! If I were like you
In this case, can you still be a professor?"
After saying that, Director Wang glanced at Ling Zhi slightly, which made Ling Zhi's heart skip a beat. Is Director Wang doubting me?
Some time ago, he did have a conflict of opinion with Director Wang because of the internship, but it did not rise to the level of irreconcilable conflict. Just based on the rumors circulating on the Internet, Director Wang started to hate himself?
Ling Zhi was calm on the surface, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. If he was targeted by Director Wang, his subsequent postgraduate career might not be so smooth.
Is it really like what he joked before, that he can't even graduate and needs to work as a sparring partner in the ball room after graduation?
That was just a joke. If reality really developed in this direction, Ling Zhi felt that he would never be able to laugh.
Seeing Ling Zhi's lack of reaction, Director Wang frowned and continued to talk to himself without naming him:
"By the way, speaking of delayed graduation, I have never deliberately delayed my students' graduation. If you don't believe me, go check out my previous graduates. Which one of them delayed their graduation?"
"And you guys, Luo Pu, Lin Zheng, Zhang Xiaoxin, those of you who have had the experience of failing mid-term defense, you have to be careful. If you don't hurry up, your graduation may really be delayed...
"
Next, Director Wang started giving his usual lectures, but no one was interested in listening. They were all wondering who was this anonymous person who made everyone so nervous.
Although I am not talking about myself, everyone actually felt uncomfortable after hearing these lectures.
There were no students reporting at the group meeting today. Everyone briefly talked about the recent progress, and then Director Wang ended the group meeting.
Before leaving, Director Wang glanced at Ling Zhi and said:
"Lingzhi, come with me."
Damn! What is supposed to come must come!
But anyway, he didn't do it himself. He was not afraid of the shadows slanting when he was upright. He could be suspicious as much as he liked.
"Lingzhi, I just asked directly, was that anonymous letter sent by you?"
After arriving at the office, Director Wang asked straight to the point. Ling Zhi was not surprised. Director Wang has such a character and never hides any ideas.
"not me."
"real?"
"real."
"Okay, then who do you think it is?"
"I have no idea."
Of course Ling Zhi didn't know. Even if he had a guess, he wouldn't tell Director Wang. Because everyone just saw Director Wang calling Ling Zhi to the office. Although he didn't say why, it was easy to guess that it was related to the anonymous letter incident.
.
If Director Wang once again seeks out a certain classmate to understand the situation, everyone will guess that it was Ling Zhi who came up with the idea. After that, everyone will definitely keep a certain distance from him invisibly.
No way, no one likes a snitch, no matter what your purpose is, whether you are well-intentioned or unintentional.
This round of conversation ended unhappily. Director Wang failed to achieve his goal and still had doubts in his heart. Ling Zhi also had one more thing on his mind, worrying that Director Wang was wearing too little shoes for him.
After all, Director Wang is also a human being, and it is impossible to be completely indifferent. If the matter ends here and the rumor maker cannot be found, then he will only be hurt in the end.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhi made up his mind and must do something.
He briefly reviewed the details of the matter, and after much deliberation, he felt that he had to start with the word "Yanbi".
Wait, today Director Wang just mentioned three students who failed the mid-term assessment, namely Luo Pu, Lin Zheng and Zhang Xiaoxin.
Lin Zheng and Zhang Xiaoxin are one grade older than Ling Zhi. They took the mid-term exam last year. I heard that they had not produced any good results at that time, so they failed to pass the mid-term exam in the end.
But later, both of them submitted their latest results, and the mid-term assessment committee allowed them to participate in the defense.
Luo Pu and Ling Zhi are students of the same class. Ling Zhi passed the mid-term assessment because he took the qualification examination for master's and doctoral studies. The mid-term assessment of other people also ended as early as the end of September. It seems that only Luo Pu is the one.
No one has ever had it.
Now, perhaps it is Luo Pu who is suspected of making the report?
No, no, no! Although Luopu has a motive, there is currently no evidence, and Luopu rarely expresses himself. Lingzhi doesn't know much about his acting style.
This won't work, the clues aren't enough.
So Lexus turned his attention to the anonymous letter.
In the anonymous letter, in addition to the incident of Tang Yongxiu jumping off the building, the whistleblower also listed some other evidence, such as the situation where some other authors submitted their papers but were delayed.
Ling Zhi silently recorded the authors of these papers and prepared to collect clues in the next few days.
...
One day later, the school's leadership team issued a preliminary announcement on the matter, stating that Tang Yongxiu's jumping incident was caused by his own emotional disputes and that Tang Yongxiu's tutor Zhang Yuqing did not exploit students.
However, out of humanitarian principles, the school still provided a medical fee for student Tang Yongxiu, of which teacher Zhang Yuqing contributed a large part. He also said that this matter had been agreed with Tang Yongxiu and his family. In the future, student Tang Yongxiu’s scientific research
The school will make appropriate arrangements for matters such as defense and defense.
Regarding other students who delayed their graduation, the school found out after investigation that it was indeed true. However, these students actively chose to delay their graduation in order to produce more scientific research results before graduation. They were not forced to delay their graduation. Rumors and facts spread widely on the Internet
Doesn’t match.
There is no strong evidence for the accusations made by other teachers, but for the sake of safety, the school still questioned the graduate students under these teachers one by one, and no students were found to be obviously dissatisfied with their tutors. Rumors and facts are widely circulated on the Internet.
No. Please identify the rumors accurately, do not believe them, and do not spread them.
After this extremely official announcement was issued, it was considered an explanation for the incident.
The public's attention to this incident was also limited. In addition, the graduate students were relatively far away from most people and would not touch their vital interests, so the heat of the incident slowly subsided.
Although there are still some questions that have not been answered, at least for the public, this matter can be declared over for the time being.
However, for the school, this incident has not really ended yet. Who is the rumor maker? It has become a big question in the minds of everyone in the school!
Three days later, someone once again found a tweet on Weibo, which provided a detailed analysis of the various evidence listed in the anonymous letter, the various characters involved, and the relationships between these characters.
The article is extremely detailed and has sufficient evidence. The final conclusion is:
These characters seem to be related to a dormitory at Huada University. Those who delayed their graduation are basically the senior brothers and sisters of classmates in this dormitory.
And Luopu happened to be in this dormitory!
However, the article did not mention any direct relationship between Luopu and those senior brothers and sisters who were delayed to graduate. It simply stated that Luopu was in this dormitory, but this was enough to shock the students in Lingzhi Laboratory!
Because the evidence listed was very sufficient, of course the school's investigation team quickly noticed this tweet and immediately took it seriously.
According to the guidelines in the tweet, the school secretly conducted a detailed investigation of the students in the dormitory and confirmed everything stated in the article.
At the same time, under the serious warning of the school investigators, a certain classmate in the dormitory finally could not withstand the pressure and confessed everything in order to save himself and avoid being expelled from the school.
In the end, these students were all placed on probation because they made inappropriate remarks online and caused negative repercussions.
Since the second investigation was conducted secretly, although everyone could guess that the school caught the rumor mongering through some means, most people did not know the detailed process. However, Lexus knew that it was because:
Director Wang personally told Ling Zhi all the ins and outs of the matter.
