Chapter 357: Press Conference (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The main purpose of the press conference was to announce the results of a new drug that the Institution had developed.
As usual, the press conference was broadcasted on the Internet.
However, this time, the number of views was much higher than ever before.
In the past, the only people who watched such a broadcast were people in the medical and academic community. Most of the people interested in such a broadcast would be researchers from other institutions.
However, there were a lot of viewers today. In fact, most of the viewers were students. There were also quite a few parents and teachers watching as well.
Mo Shiyun, who had taken time off class, was also sitting in front of her computer. She was watching the press conference broadcast too.
She was waiting for the Institution’s response to the matter that would come later in the press conference.
The Jian family and Jian Yiling would finally pay for the things that they had done to her.
For the humiliation that she and her mother had suffered, they would be returned to Jian Yiling and her family after the press conference.
The first half of the press conference was a bit boring for most people to watch. It was all academic and thus, a lot of people didn’t understand what was going on.
However, in the second half, there was a question and answer section with the journalists. At this point, a journalist asked the Institution about the recent rumors of plagiarism.
The journalist was not so much concerned about the plagiarism itself as they were about the fact that the subject of the plagiarism was Dr. F.S. Dr. F.S had always been mysterious. They didn’t want to miss out on any news about him.
“May I ask about what Dr. F.S. thinks about the rumors on the Internet in the past two days? Does he know that he was plagiarized by a high school student?”
As soon as the journalist asked this, messages and comments started to pop up:
[Finally!!! Here comes the main event!]
[I’m waiting for the student who plagiarized to get the punishment that they deserved.]
[I’m from Shenghua High School! I still believe that she did not plagiarize!]
[Are you joking? There’s literally evidence all around you and you’re still saying that she didn’t plagiarize? Let’s see what the Institution thinks about this. I wonder if they’re going to take legal action against her.]
[I hope the Institution does take legal action! If they do, I bet that the student who plagiarized will regret the matter so much that her guts would turn blue.]
The person in charge of answering the questions from the journalists was Cheng Yi. He answered the questions in a modest manner and with a calm voice.
“Plagiarism is indeed a very serious manner. Regardless of the industry, we have zero tolerance for plagiarism.”
As soon as Cheng Yi said this, a lot of the messages said: [Lawyers and lawsuits incoming.]
[The Institution isn’t going to be that serious are they? If they are, that student is in trouble!]
[What do you mean in trouble? She deserves it!]
[I support Dr. F.S in taking legal action against the student! Zero tolerance for plagiarism!]
[I also support Dr. F.S in taking legal action against the student! People should pay the price for what they did!]
The journalist continued to question Cheng Yi: “So according to Dr. Cheng, will Dr. F.S be taking legal action against the female student who plagiarized?”
“What are you talking about?” Cheng Yi asked. A light smile played on the corner of his mouth. His eyes shone behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
“Didn’t you just say that you have zero tolerance for plagiarism?” The journalist didn’t see any problem with his inference.
“Yes, we have zero tolerance for plagiarism. However, there is no such thing as plagiarism in this case. So why should we file a lawsuit?” Cheng Yi questioned the journalist.
The comments started popping up like made at this point:
[What’s happening?! The Institution said that there’s no case of plagiarism? Why am I so confused?]
[Yeah same! Didn’t they say before that the press conference would publicly respond to the case of plagiarism? Why are they saying that plagiarism doesn’t exist in this case now?]
