"Hello, Shirley!", Richard didn't realize anything, picked up the phone and said hello easily.

"Richard, did you get the fax?", Tillman on the other end of the line said in a very serious tone, "I think you'd better take a look at it right away!"

"What's going on?", Richard Levine pointed to the fax machine, the assistant hurriedly went over and took the fax, Richard quickly browsed to the side, his face suddenly became solemn, "Shirley, I think I want to take a serious look at this fax, I'll call you later!"

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone and looked at it word by word, and 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!", Ferig, who was about to continue to inquire about the progress of the dissertation review after work, was called to his office by the head of the department.

Fortunately, Soman has been by his side for the past two days, and the two of them have knocked on the department chair's office for some inexplicable reasons, and Soman wonders if he has learned the news that the paper is about to be published to congratulate himself?

"Look at this!", there was no greeting, no coffee, not even asking them to sit down, and as soon as they came in, there was a snap, and a fax was slapped on the table by the head of the department.

"What's going on?", Ferig asked with a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, barely squeezing out a smile, but the head of the department stared at him with a dark face.

Felig didn't dare to look at him in a weak heart, so he quickly picked up the fax and looked at it, what?! As soon as he saw the beginning, the sweat on Ferig's forehead came out, wasn't it the thesis of Beijing Normal University that he plagiarized? What are you doing when Princeton is so full that you stand up!

Read on, and when he saw that it was stated that Lu Qiujian was an exchange student from Beijing Normal University to Princeton, he wanted to cry without tears, originally he just wanted to rely on the prestige of the Huashan faction to bully the disciples of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, but he didn't expect that person to suddenly become a descendant of Shaolin, Nima is too cheating! I knew that this paper was the work of Princeton, and I wouldn't have been moved by Soman anyway!

"Shirley Tillman, William Timothy Gowers, Andrew Wiles, Edward Witten, Charles Fepverman, William Thurston", this list of names made him even more dizzy, not to mention that there is also a Philip Griffith who he fears the most, this person who attaches great importance to intellectual property rights is famous in the whole country.

"Seventeen Fields Medal winners, three Wolf Medal winners protested to us at the same time!", the head of the department was now eager to eat Felig, he stood up and roared, "Your behavior today has ruined the glory of the Yale Mathematics Department for a hundred years!

"But this is indeed Soman's own research!", Felig is still stubborn, the matter has reached this point, it is too late to admit it, it is better to bite the bullet and not admit it.

"Isn't that enough!", the head of the department tapped on the screenshots of the emails on the fax, "I always wanted the Yale Mathematics Department to be famous, but I never thought it would be in this form!"

Although 米国 is the number one in the world paper fraud list, but the plagiarism of red fruit like Felig is rare, it is conceivable that after this kind of thing, the professors of the Yale mathematics department will resign one after another, and those geniuses will not apply for this school again, at least within five years, the department will not be able to turn over.

"Otto, explain to me what's going on!", and with a thud, the office door was kicked open, and the always personable Richard Levine burst in angrily, holding a familiar fax in his hand.

"Ho, it looks like you've received it too, and it's saved me a lot of effort!", Richard Levine also saw the fax on his desk.

"Mr. Headmaster, I'm asking Ferig what happened!", Otto quickly got up and replied, usually he could not care about the headmaster's face by virtue of his academic status, but there was such a big problem on his own turf, which made him a little unable to raise his head.

"Oh, this is Professor Ferig, and the other one is our genius mathematician, Mr. Soman?", Levine asked coldly, looking at the trembling two.

"Mr. Headmaster, listen to me, I was all bewitched by Soman", Felig didn't care about anything else now, just wanted to lighten his own responsibility.

Before he came, Levine still had hope in his heart in case of emergency, but now when he heard that Felig did not admit himself, his eyes suddenly went dark and he almost fainted; Yale was able to obtain so many donations relying on his own fame accumulated in the past three hundred years, and Felig's behavior will undoubtedly ruin the reputation of the school, and the consequence of the ruined reputation is to reduce the donation of at least nearly 100 million US dollars, how can I explain to the board of directors!

Now that his one-ten-thousandth illusion has been shattered, then it is time to study how to save Yale's face, Levin said coldly, "Submit your resignation within today!", and left the office directly, leaving only Felig and Soman, who wanted to cry without tears, and Otto, who was also shot while lying down.

"Shirley, I'm sorry for what happened!", back to the principal's office, Levine immediately dialed the phone, the key now is to get Princeton's forgiveness first, so he lowered his attitude and said in a sincere tone, "This incident not only caused harm to Princeton, but also disgraced Yale's three hundred years of glory, here I solemnly apologize to you and all the members of the Princeton Mathematics Department, especially that Mr. Lu, in my own name!"

"I also believe that any gentleman did not act at the behest of Yale!", Tillman reassured him, sensing the plea in his words.

"So Shirley, what do you think we should do about this next?", he was thinking now about what kind of conditions he would agree to to keep this matter inside the two schools without outsiders knowing, in Chinese terms, he wanted to cover the lid, only in this way could Yale's reputation be protected.

"I think first of all these two plagiarists must apologize publicly!", Tillman's next words ruthlessly shattered his hopes, and Tillman now figured out the weight of the article, and this was a good opportunity to use this incident to increase Princeton's exposure!
