While Professor Thurston was skimming through the papers, Lu Qiujian was leading a game against the Brown University Bears, and he took out all the anger he had accumulated over the past few days on the poor bears.

With a whistle, the referee stopped the game again, and made a three-plus-one gesture, and Lu Qiujian swept the playmaker of Brown University with cold eyes, high-fived Patrice and others, and then stood at the free throw line.

This time, he was blindfolded without deliberately provoking, took the basketball and slapped it a few times, and threw it easily, and with a brush, his score in this game rose to 37 points.

As soon as the free throw was executed, Coach Thompson replaced him with Ed, and the overall situation of this game has been decided, there is no need to leave the main force on the court, in case there is any accident, it is too late to cry.

"You seem to be in a bad mood today?", Coach Thompson asked with concern, fearing that the core of his team would be affected by other things, "What happened? Maybe I can help?"

"Thank you, it's just some small things, I can handle it myself!", Lu Qiujian replied depressedly, now that the paper has been almost revised, it is a big deal to go to the "Annals of Mathematics" to publish it!

"The preparations are complete! Wait until Monday to start releasing the news as planned!", Patrice also saw that he was not in the right mood, and wanted to use the gains in the financial market to make him feel better, "According to Jason's prediction, the stock price of Luther Technology will fall by at least ten percent after the market opens, which can bring us at least three times the gain! I have taken a leave of absence and plan to go to the New York stock exchange to see the scene, do you want to go with me?"

"Okay!I'll take a look at you then!", Lu Qiujian replied listlessly, putting aside the rest of Gatorade and starting to pack up his things.

At the end of the game, the Princeton Tigers unsurprisingly won again, Lu Qiujian returned to the locker room and took out his mobile phone from the cabinet, and when he opened it, he found several missed calls, all of which were from Professor Thurston.

"Hello, Mr. Professor, I didn't have my phone with me just now!", Lu Qiu immediately dialed back, "What are you looking for me?"

"Match? oh, I didn't even remember you were a basketball player!", Thurston asked about the game with a smile, "Looks like you're winning again?

"It's a great honor!", after a few more words of basketball, Professor Thurston remembered to get down to business, "By the way, your new paper sent to Science happened to be assigned to me for review, and I found a small loophole, maybe you need to adjust it again!"

"What?", Lu Qiujian was stunned for a moment, when did I send another paper, he looked at his teammates who were chatting enthusiastically, lowered his voice and said, "You wait a minute, I'll find a quiet place to talk!"

Taking the phone out of the locker room and finding a secluded corner, Lu Qiujian said word by word, "Mr. Professor, can you repeat what you just said?"

Professor Thurston also noticed the strangeness in Lu Qiujian's words, and hurriedly told him that he had received an email from Science, and the paper to be reviewed was exactly the same as the news that Lu Qiujian had shown him before.

"I didn't send it! I've given up on publishing in Science. Lu Qiujian said solemnly, "Are you sure that paper is very similar to mine?", in which the extremely similar words were read and stressed.

"Exactly the same idea, exactly the same structure, except for the wording and some details are a little different, everything else is the same, if it weren't for you, then the problem would be big!", Professor Thurston has been in the academic world for decades, what kind of storm and waves have not been seen, he immediately thought of the most serious possibility, "You come to me right away, read this article for yourself!"

"Okay, I'll go over right away!", hung up the phone and didn't have time to change clothes, Lu Qiujian put on his jersey and ran to Professor Thurston's office.

"Mr. Professor!", even after running another three kilometers after a fierce race, there was still not a trace of sweat on Lu Qiujian's forehead.

"Come and take a look at this! Are you sure you didn't send it yourself?", Professor Thurston saw him come in and immediately gave up the computer.

Lu Qiujian swiped the mouse to quickly browse through the paper, shook his head and said, "It's the same as my paper, but I really haven't sent it to Science again!"

"Plagiarism!", Thurston said the most hated word in the academic world with a grimace, "I'm sure someone saw your article from somewhere else, and then learned that Science rejected your manuscript and resubmitted it in a different way to steal your research!"

"What are we going to do now?", Lu Qiujian seems to understand a little bit why the paper was rejected, and it is estimated that someone took a fancy to his article, so he used the means of failing to pass the review to delay his publication time.

"It's not your business alone! It's a challenge to all the hard-working researchers!", Professor Thurston said with a cold face, "I will make solemn representations to Science as a reviewer for Science, and gather all the professors in the Princeton Department of Mathematics to support you!"

Princeton's mathematics department is almost half of the mathematics community in the United States, and Professor Thurston is going to make big news! Hehe, that plagiarist probably didn't expect to encounter such fierce opposition, right? It seems that some of his too young, too simple patterns were broken at the beginning, and sometimes naivety will go wrong!

"I'll sort out all the original manuscripts, and if they're still stubborn, I can still have an open debate with them!", Lu Qiujian knew that his side also had to be prepared.

"Professor Qunan's got the test paper and answer sheet too, he must still have it!", Thurston said as he turned on his phone.

The cell phone signal broke the silence of Princeton, and the professors who were still in the office building quickly arrived, and the professors who had already left work immediately put down what they were doing, and quickly got up from the cafeteria, from the TV, from the supermarket, and from the bed, and rushed to Professor Thurston's office.

There were more and more people, and the small office was already a little overwhelmed, and at this time Professor Wiles also came, he stood at the door, his face was equally serious, he glanced at the tightly packed office and said, "Let's all go to the big conference room! William, you prepare the materials, let's go to the big conference room to discuss!"
