Chapter 301 – The scandal about Jiang WenYu thesis being plagiarized spread within a day. (3)

All the ruckuses coming from the room caught the attention of the others inside the house. By the time they got there, they all witnessed how Zhang Bi was beaten to a pulp. When the cane landed on Zhang Bi, many who had been beaten by it in the past shuddered reflexively.

The beating left Zhang Bi black and blue all over and he was in great pain every time he moved.

Albeit being beaten up, Zhang Bi felt relieved. With the beating, that meant that his grandfather truly hadn’t given up on him yet and that he would clean up his mess for him.

His lips curved a little in an attempt to smile but, man, oh, man, that affected the injuries all over him and he bared his teeth – that hurt so much!

This incident brought him not just physical pain, but also psychological torture. He knew now that he could never become the heir. One mistake and it had cost him the entire game.

After Zhang Kaiyu had given Zhang Bi a beating, he went to the family’s storage room to look for some precious herbs. Those were gifts tfor Zhang Wenyu. He would offer him a lot in return and had Zhang Bi apologize to him profusely. That ought to pacify Zhang Wenyu. They were a family. Surely he would not want to make a big deal out of it and wave their dirty laundry in front of the whole world. He could always give hand over Bi’s resources for Wenyu. As the clan leader of the Zhang family, he didn’t want the internal conflicts within the family turned into gossip materials.

He thought about it some and, feeling that his plan was fine, felt more confident about it.

By the time he was done picking out the gifts, it was already midnight. Naturally, Zhang Kaiyu would not be leaving the house at this hour but he would rest for the night and go the next head.

Nevertheless, nighttime in China means broad daylight on the other side of the world and it was office hours.

Bruce, one of the editors of Nature, went off.

[A blatant effort in plagiarism. What a shame for the academia!]

Bruce took screen shots of the time that he had received the theses from both Jiang WenYu and Zhang Bi and posted them with comparison. The first half of the two articles were almost identical, short of a few minor edits.

It was obviously that not only did Jiang WenYu submitted his over a month before Zhang Bi, his data was consistently and proven by other researchers in clinical studies. Zhang Bi’s data was a mess and the final conclusion was forced and illogical. There was a big difference in quality between the first and second halves of his paper. As though a top student’s essay was finished by a mediocre student.

It was only too obvious that Zhang Bi had plagiarized the first half of Jiang WenYu’s thesis. Then there was the question of him muddling the data. In either case, he had committed the two worst sins in the academia.

After Bruce had posted that on a foreign website, tall of the other editors liked or commented on it.

When the news got to China and was released by the medias, it had created an uproar. All of the official channels had been happily praising how accomplishing Jiang WenYu was at his young age and that he was a genius that one would only see every 10 years. Everybody had expected great achievements from him. And, just a day later, scandals about someone trying to plagiarize his work broke.

And everybody was all over it.

Chinese cared a lot about their image internationally. For those who brought pride to the country, they feel proud of them and will idolize them. They could praise them for an entire day with all different words. As for those who brought shame to the country, they would all turn into their anti-fan and would bash them so much that their ancestors would want to leap out from their graves.

Get out of here and take the beating, Zhang Bi!

Plagiarizing someone else’s work was a low and disgusting act regardless of which country one was in. The netizens were enraged. As the Zhang family had bragged about the fact that Jiang WenYu was a long-lost child of the Zhang’s, the netizens were able to figure out that Jiang WenYu and Zhang Bi were twin brothers. They were shocked. They could smell the melon of two infighting between two brothers within a prominent family.
