Chapter 70 Five Tigers and Shaolin

"Hello, Shirley!" Before Richard realized anything, he picked up the phone and greeted him casually.

"Richard, have you received the fax?" Tillman on the other end of the phone sounded extremely serious, "I think you'd better take a look right away!"

"What happened?" Richard Levin pointed to the fax machine. The assistant quickly went over and took the fax over. Richard glanced at it quickly, and his face suddenly became solemn, "Shirley, I

I think I have to take a serious look at this fax and I will call you later!"

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone and started reading word for word. When he saw the long list of signatures at the end of the open letter, his face was almost darker than Jordan's.

"Ferig, come to my office! By the way, call your student Soman!" Ferrig, who was about to inquire about the progress of the thesis review after get off work, was called to his office by a call from the dean of the department. inside.

Fortunately, Soman has been by his side for the past two days. The two of them knocked on the door of the department director's office for no apparent reason. Soman wondered if he had learned that the paper was about to be published to congratulate him?

"Look at this!", there was no greeting, no coffee, and they were not even asked to sit down. As soon as they came in, there was a bang, and a fax was slapped on the table by the dean of the department.

"What happened?" Ferrig felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and asked with a forced smile, but the dean of the department stared at him with a dark face and eyes.

Ferrig felt guilty and did not dare to look at him. He quickly picked up the fax and read it. What?! As soon as he read the beginning, sweat broke out on Ferrig's forehead. Didn't he plagiarize a paper from Beijing Normal University?

?Why do you stand up when Princeton is so full?

He continued to read, and when he saw that Lu Qiujian was an exchange student from Beijing Normal University to Princeton, he was about to cry. Originally, he just wanted to use the power of the Huashan Sect to bully the Five Tigers Breaking the Door.

A disciple of Shaolin, I didn’t expect that person to suddenly become a direct descendant of Shaolin. What a cheat! If I had known that this paper was the work of Princeton, I would never have been persuaded by Soman!

"Shirley Tillman, William Timothy Gowers, Andrew Wiles, Edward Witten, Charles Fefferman, William Thurston...", this

The series of names made him dizzy, not to mention the one he was most afraid of, Philip Griffith, who was famous throughout the United States for his emphasis on intellectual property.

"Seventeen Fields Medal winners and three Wolf Medal winners protested to us at the same time!" The department chair now wanted to eat Ferrig. He stood up and roared, "What you did today

Let the century-old glory of the Yale Mathematics Department be destroyed in one fell swoop! How can people from the Yale Mathematics Department have the dignity to publish articles and attend academic conferences in the future!”

"But...but this is indeed the result of Soman's own research!" Ferrig is still stubborn now. When the matter has reached this point, it is too late to admit defeat. It is better to deny it.

"Isn't this evidence enough!", the department chair typed the screenshots of several emails on the fax, "I have always hoped that the Yale Mathematics Department would become famous all over the world, but I never thought it would be in this form!"

Although the United States ranks first in the world's list of fake papers, plagiarism like Ferrig's is rare. It is conceivable that after this happened, professors in the Yale Mathematics Department will resign one after another. Those geniuses

I will not apply to this school again. This department will not be able to turn around within at least five years.

"Otto! Explain to me what's going on!" With a bang, the door to the office was kicked open, and Richard Levin, who had always been graceful and elegant, burst in angrily, holding a

with a familiar fax.

"Hey, it seems you have received it too. This saves me a lot of effort!" Richard Levin also saw the fax on his desk.

"Mr. Principal, I am asking Ferrig what happened!" Otto quickly stood up and answered. Normally, he could rely on his academic status to not care about the principal's face, but there was such a big problem on his own territory.

It made him unable to hold his head up.

"Oh? This is Professor Ferrig? Then the other one is our genius mathematician Mr. Soman?" Levin looked at the trembling two people and asked coldly.

"Mr. Principal, please listen to my explanation. I was all bewitched by Soman..." Ferrig couldn't care about anything else now and just wanted to reduce his responsibilities.

Farke, it seems to be true! Before coming here, Levin still had hope in his heart, but now that he heard that Ferrig was not asking for help, his eyes suddenly went dark and he almost fainted; Yale can get so many donations.

Relying on the reputation he has accumulated in the past three hundred years, Ferrig's behavior will undoubtedly tarnish the school's reputation, and the consequence of the tarnished reputation will be a reduction of at least nearly 100 million US dollars in donations. How can I explain this to the board of directors!

Now that one ten thousandth of his illusions had been shattered, it was time to figure out how to save Yale's face. Levin said coldly, "Submit your resignation within today!" After saying that, he left the office directly.

Ferrig and Soman were left crying without tears, as well as Otto who was also shot while lying down.

"Shirley, I'm sorry that this happened!" Returning to the principal's office, Levin immediately called the phone. The key now was to obtain Princeton's forgiveness first, so he lowered his attitude and said

He said in a sincere tone, "This incident not only caused harm to Princeton, but also brought shame to Yale's three hundred years of glory. Here, in my own name, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and all members of the Princeton Mathematics Department, especially Lu.

Sir, I sincerely apologize!"

"I also believe that this gentleman's behavior was not inspired by Yale!" Tillman heard the plea in his words and comforted him.

"So Shirley, how do you think we should handle this matter next?" What he was thinking about now was what kind of conditions he could agree to in order to seal this matter within the two schools without letting outsiders know, using Chinese.

It is said that he wants to cover up the situation. Only in this way can Yale's reputation be protected.

"I think first of all these two plagiarists must publicly apologize!" Tillman's next words ruthlessly shattered his hopes. Tillman has now figured out the weight of this article. It is through this that
Chapter completed!
