Chapter 1096: Huaqing Crisis
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, when Duan Yun was about to go to the veranda to smoke a cigarette and relax his eyes, his mobile phone rang again.
Seeing the number on his mobile phone, Duan Yun was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that it was none other than Jiang Chengdong, the president of Huaqing University, who called him.
In fact, since Duan Yun personally received the trophy from Jiang Chengdong at the Huaqing University Award Ceremony, the two have never seen each other, and the main reason for this is that Jiang Chengdong, as the president of a top university in China, has a lot of daily work and entertainment, so even if Duan Yun is in the limelight during this time, Jiang Chengdong still has no time to meet him.
So much so that at this time, he suddenly received a call from Jiang Chengdong, and Duan Yun still couldn't believe it.
"Hello President Jiang. After Duan Yun connected his mobile phone, he said politely.
"Xiao Duan, where are you now?" Jiang Chengdong's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm at home in Kyoto. Duan Yun answered, and then asked, "Principal Jiang, do you have anything to do with me?"
"That's it......" Jiang Chengdong on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, I'm waiting for you at the Guixiang Restaurant near Huaqing University tonight, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”
"Yes. Duan Yun replied very simply.
"Okay, let's meet at six o'clock sharp. After Jiang Chengdong finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
After Duan Yun put away his mobile phone, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, looked at the scenery outside the veranda and took a comfortable puff of cigarette.
Duan Yun guessed that Jiang Chengdong came out to eat with himself this time, most likely for the news and public opinion about his academic fraud during this time.
The rumors about Duan Yun's academic fraud actually affected not only Duan Yun himself, but also Huaqing University in this public opinion turmoil.
Especially before he and Gong Jinchen attacked each other on Weibo, which has attracted the participation of most teachers and students of Beijing University and Huaqing University, Beijing University scolded Huaqing University for not strictly reviewing academic papers, so that Duan Yun, a young man who dropped out of school without learning or skills, won such a high honor, which is an insult to the entire Chinese academic community.
The teachers and students on the side of Huaqing University obviously also got the acquiescence of President Jiang Chengdong, from the management of the school to the freshmen who had just entered the school for less than a year, they also stood on Duan Yun's side, and simply set off a scolding war with the teachers and students of Beijing University.
But no matter what the scolding battle between the two sides is, this kind of insulting scolding street quarrel is obviously very damaging to the reputation of Huaqing University, and as things get hotter and hotter, Jiang Chengdong took the initiative to invite Duan Yun to discuss this time, which is obviously a last resort.
However, Duan Yun is not worried that Jiang Chengdong will do something to deprive him of the title of honorary professor, firstly, because Huaqing is the top century-old university in China, and everything on the surface is open and fair first, if they deprive Duan Yun of the honorary teaching title they had previously awarded to Duan Yun at this time, this is tantamount to admitting that Jiang Chengdong himself and Huaqing have made a major mistake, and it is his own face, which will also seriously affect the reputation of Huaqing University and Jiang Chengdong himself, and although Gong Jinchen keeps saying that Duan Yun is an academic fraud, he has never had a real hammer, so it is almost impossible to happen!
After smoking a cigarette, Duan Yun sat in the living room and pondered for a moment, then got up and put on his coat and left his apartment.
After going out and taking a car, Duan Yun went straight to the direction of Huaqing University.
After parking at the gate of Huaqing University, after Duan Yun got out of the car, he saw the Guixiang Hotel not far from Huaqing University.
Crossing the road, Duan Yun soon saw Principal Jiang Chengdong standing at the door of the hotel.
"Hello President Jiang. Duan Yun immediately smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
"Ah, Xiao Duan, I haven't seen you for more than a month. After seeing Duan Yun, Jiang Chengdong also greeted with a smile.
"Two inside, please. The master of ceremonies at the door greeted him warmly, and then took the two to a private room on the second floor of the hotel.
"Let's have a simple bite to eat today, what do you think?" Jiang Chengdong said to Duan Yun after sitting down.
"Whatever. Duan Yun replied casually.
"On the clear soup pot, and then four plates of mutton......" Jiang Chengdong ordered some dishes and returned the menu to the waiter.
After seeing the waiter leave, Jiang Chengdong glanced at Duan Yun, and his expression became a little grim.
"Principal Jiang, do you have anything to do with me today?" Duan Yun saw that Jiang Chengdong's face was wrong, so he asked directly.
"Duan Yun, there have been a lot of reports about you in the media recently, have you seen them all?" Jiang Chengdong asked.
"See. Duan Yun nodded when he heard this, and then said, "You want to tell me that someone is questioning my academic fraud, right?"
"Well, that's true, it's terrifying......" Jiang Chengdong sighed and said: "Actually, when we went to your house in Heyang a few years ago, we just wanted to see if you wrote that paper, at that time you showed a very high mathematical talent, and several experts in the mathematics department of our school also spoke very highly of you, thinking that you are indeed capable of writing such a high-level paper, but ......"
"But what?" Duan Yun asked with a frown.
"Now there are too many people in the entire academic community who question you, several famous universities in China, including Beijing University, Jiaotong and other more than a dozen well-known universities in China scholars and experts have written articles questioning your academic fraud, during this time I often pay attention to your affairs on the Internet, and also arrange for several well-known professors in the school to support you, but this time the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and even two days ago, the vice minister of the Ministry of Education also personally talked to me about this matter, which shows that the senior level of the Ministry of Education attaches great importance to this matter...... Jiang Chengdong said with a frown.
"Principal Jiang, then let me ask you, do you believe that I will be an academic fraud?" Duan Yun asked as he looked directly at Jiang Chengdong.
"Of course I don't believe it. Jiang Chengdong shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "When I was in Heyang, several experts in this school had a high recognition of your mathematical level, which shows that you are indeed truly talented and learned, and you are indeed capable of solving world problems like Hodge's conjecture, and I am also very convinced of the personality of your master Guo Haitao, he has been honest all his life, and he will never do anything deceitful, so I don't doubt that he will help you write your thesis." ”
