Zhuang Yuan narrowed her eyes.
She was a little confused as to what Ye Yunla meant by this.
At that moment, Ye Yunla raised her voice and said, “Please ask the staff to turn Ms. Zhuang’s design book to page sixteen, I don’t think you’ve seen the formula on this page before, right? And page twenty-eight, this brand new building block, I’m sure you’re all very unfamiliar with it, right? As well as page thirty-four, the design diagram on page thirty-five, which also features a brand new build model, is really refreshing.”
The crowd nodded their heads.
The secretary behind Zhuang Yuan said in a cold voice, “This is a brand new build formula developed by our Zhuang Group’s technical department under the leadership of General Manager Zhuang ……”
“Is that so?”
Ye Yunla smiled gently with a hint of sarcasm between her brows.
For some reason, Zhuang Yuan’s heart suddenly panicked at such a look from her ……
She said coldly, “Miss Ye, just say what you have to say, don’t be a god here.”
“Six months ago, my mentor at Harvard was working on a topic in this area, and his paper was shown to me before it was published, and it had this formula in it, along with the same building blocks ……” Ye Yunla smiled slightly, “My mentor’s paper was published in a very niche technical journal abroad, so not many people in China should have seen it, but that doesn’t mean, that paper doesn’t exist. The paper was published six months ago, while Ms Zhuang’s project only started three months ago, but your formula modules overlap by more than eighty percent, Ms Zhuang, how do you explain this matter to everyone?”
Zhuang Yuan’s face suddenly turned blue for a moment as she gritted her teeth and said, “This is simply nonsense.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, those present had already started searching with their phones.
Connecting to a foreign network and typing in the formulae for the modules in the programme, they could soon see a paper published in English ……
“Oh my god, what Miss Ye said is actually true!”
“This paper was published half a year ago, and the content is practically identical to Ms Zhuang’s programme book!”
“Crap, so it was Ms. Zhuang who copied someone else and ended up falsely accusing Ms. Ye of plagiarizing her?”
“……”
The crowd in the banquet hall all cast questioning and scrutinizing glances at Zhuang Yuan.
Zhuang Yuan had never been looked at with such eyes before, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger little by little.
She took a deep breath, “This is Harvard Professor Phyllis’ teaching paper, I did borrow some of it, but I can’t say I plagiarised it, because I had purchased the commercial rights from Professor Phyllis before borrowing this paper.”
She found the perfect excuse for herself, and the interrogative stares in the banqueting hall finally faded away.
She said with a sullen face, “It’s my fault for being abrupt today, I’ll be the host to invite Miss Ye to dinner to make amends another day, let’s go.”
She turned around and walked outside, and the seven or eight people she had brought with her followed her.
As soon as Zhuang Yuan walked outside, she dialed out a phone call, “Immediately contact Professor Felice at Harvard University and buy the commercial rights of that paper he published six months ago, no matter how much it costs!”
As soon as she hung up, a call came in, and when she saw the caller ID, Zhuang Yuan’s face sank.
When the call was answered, a stormy voice came from the other end: “Zhuang’s group is in the news, look what stupid things you’ve done!”
Zhuang Yuan sank a breath, “I’ve been the president of Zhuang Group for twelve years and have never made any mistakes, can’t I still let someone have a chance to make a mistake?”
