The main building of Yan Jing Electric Power University, a medium-sized room on the side of the auditorium, was used as a temporary venue. It was organized by Secretary Yang of the school party committee. As long as the administrative leaders who had nothing to do at the moment were called over.

The meeting did not have three major items or five minor items. The only issue was how to handle the farce caused by the anti-counterfeiting celebrity, in order to minimize the impact on the school and the president.

"The world-famous author of the paper suspends his studies, and Yan Jing Electric Power University's shining pearl is tarnished." Although this article did not explicitly accuse anything, it implied something that directly pointed to the core of education, with malicious intent.

Nowadays, many uninformed masses think that the school does not have the ability to educate talents, and even lacks the ability to distinguish talents.

"I think it was done by those few people." A teacher from the School of Electrical Engineering had an unfriendly tone. "President Liu's research and resume are not a problem. They couldn't come up with a solution, so they used our school as a target."

"Bang bang." Secretary Yang frowned and glanced at the teacher, knocking on the table with his fist, indicating not to speak such words casually.

When a school has a scandal, the president does bear the greatest responsibility. Regardless of whether this scandal is true or false, it will always affect its reputation.

Especially at this moment, just after the second round of discussions on the academician of the Engineering Academy, it is extremely sensitive.

At this time, any deviation or news could potentially play a decisive role.

But making such speculations without any evidence in public is really not decent.

"In my opinion, it's a good thing that our school has such students who have achieved such results. Why is it being portrayed as a bad thing?" A senior scholar from the School of Mathematics had just arrived and hadn't figured out the sinister implications.

"I have carefully read the paper, it is very brilliant, many doctoral students do not have this level. I heard that it has received good feedback abroad. Moreover, President Fu's participation and guidance are also mentioned. I think that person on Weibo may not understand what it means for President Fu to be the corresponding author. We should communicate with him and point out his mistakes, eliminate misunderstandings, and maybe he will delete the article."

It was clearly the student who achieved the results, but it ended up being so nerve-wracking. The professors attending the meeting felt very aggrieved.

"Professor Liang, only you would think like this. You don't go online much and don't understand the situation. You don't know that it's impossible for anyone on the internet to admit their mistakes, especially Yuan Zhouzi. Even if he's wrong, he will stick to his guns. Even if Yuan Zhouzi says the earth is square, you can't make him admit his mistake."

Professor Liang was immersed in his studies and thought too highly of the people on the internet. Immediately, a young professor couldn't help but reveal the truth.

"Yuan Zhouzi has a master's and a Ph.D., how could he not understand this?" Secretary Yang picked up the porcelain teacup, took off the lid, and blew on it. "He's just pretending to be confused. Can you explain things clearly to someone who pretends to be asleep? Can you wake up someone who pretends to be asleep?"

"All we need to do is try our best to make the masses believe. As for what Yuan Zhouzi thinks, it is beyond our control."

"Secretary Yang, this matter is really difficult to handle." Some teachers were responsible for this aspect and were very clear about the ins and outs. "The more we clarify and debate, the more it plays into their hands. Yuan Zhouzi will definitely stir up trouble and distort our statements, forcing us to provide more evidence."

"Unconsciously, we will be trapped in endless self-justification. It's easy for him to spread rumors and make others misunderstand us, but it's extremely difficult for us to clarify the facts."

Once you get entangled with people like Yuan Zhouzi, there will never be a chance of winning.

It's like rolling in the mud with a pig. After a while, you will find that the pig actually enjoys it.

Secretary Yang's face turned cold. Of course, he knew that the other party was a double-edged sword. But now that things had come to this point, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. The things that needed to be publicized and announced still had to be made clear. Especially the contributions of the school's professors, including Fu Deqing. They couldn't let others distort the facts at will.

As for the effect and whether the masses believe it or not, that can only be left to fate.

"Secretary Yang, should we let President Fu bring this student here?"

"Yes, no matter how much we say, it won't be as effective as the student speaking for himself."

"Aren't we a university? Do we still need students to come forward to protect the school?" Secretary Yang directly put an end to this argument. In his opinion, no matter what the reason for the student's suspension of studies, the school had not done well enough. They had not provided enough support.

Now that the school was facing public opinion difficulties, they wanted to trouble the students to help? Secretary Yang felt that he couldn't afford to lose face.

At the same time, Meng Fanqi was on his way to the main building. He didn't have the Weibo app before, but he specially downloaded it for this matter.

Opening the comments section of Weibo, he found that most of the comments were from emotionally charged netizens.

"Wow, our education problem is really big. Too rule-abiding, too focused on rules, no creativity."

"Otherwise, how can we never produce great scientists like Newton and Einstein? They were all stifled by this education system."

"It's so sad. We have such good talents but don't know how to cultivate them, causing them to drop out."

Meng Fanqi was speechless. Although many netizens had already realized the shamelessness and double standards of the public intellectuals at this point in time, they were still in a transitional period and easily fooled by them.

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

In a few more years, the public intellectuals won't have it so easy. Often, netizens would release some jokes and fake news to bait them and make fun of them.

This kind of logic that reflects on everything is really absurd. When it comes to scientific creation, they say that the people of China are too rule-abiding. When it comes to lifestyle habits and social etiquette, they find some examples and say that the people of China are too unruly.

As long as one Chinese person behaves inappropriately, they can generalize it to the entire population. But when it comes to foreigners, it's the opposite. As long as one foreigner does something good, it is attributed to their system and the superiority of their nation.In essence, this is actually a kind of inexplicable inferiority complex, and when one has been kneeling for too long, they can't stand to see others standing.

They are cynical all day long, attributing all their failures to the state or other reasons.

They constantly express "sorrow" under various social events, but in reality, they don't follow up, nor do they care whether the issue has been resolved or improved.

For instance, in this incident, these people seem to be seeking justice for themselves, feeling as if their pearls have been covered in dust.

But in reality, very few people would truly care about themselves, why they chose to take a leave of absence? Whether taking a leave of absence is more conducive to their own achievements? Whether the research results are produced in collaboration with the professors of the school?

These are not the things they care about. What they need is just an excuse to criticize and vent the resentment in their hearts.

Thousands of netizens have reflected on this for thousands of floors, but only a few netizens really opened this paper and took a look. Unfortunately, their comments were all suppressed to the bottom, ignored by everyone.

Meng Fanqi sighed weakly. For such things, there really isn't a good solution. Because he knew very well that after most people had cursed once, they would never look again.
