1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 240 That Lu Youyou is absolutely outrageous!
"Comrade Lu, as far as we know, your research progress seems to be lagging behind Comrade Jiang Yu quite a bit..."

"For example, regarding the synthesis time of the all-aromatic polyamide composite film, Comrade Jiang Yu's report shows that it was completed in early April, while you just said that it was only successfully verified on May 2nd."

Lu Youyou listened to their explanations one by one and finally understood their methods.

Who came up with this brilliant idea, thinking that by being faster at every step, they could nail her to the pillar of shame for plagiarism?

She listened to the whole thing and didn't feel much about anything else, but she was quite curious about Jiang Yu.

Moving the research process forward is not as simple as just changing the time. It requires modifying equipment records, designing experimental procedures around the time points, and thoroughly studying her report in order to tackle each problem one by one.

It's really not that easy for ordinary people to do that.

She can confirm that there was no leak before the report was submitted, which means that Jiang Yu did all this in just over a month. If she didn't have a team behind her, Jiang Yu is undoubtedly a talent.

"Why don't we call Comrade Jiang Yu here and confront him face to face?"

Lu Youyou didn't want to continue dealing with these unimportant people, so she decided to confront the parties involved directly.

To everyone's surprise, the middle-aged bald man opposite him narrowed his eyes and gave a faint smile.

"That won't be necessary. Comrade Jiang Yu is unable to speak with Comrade Lu in person for certain reasons."

Lu Youyou's eyes flickered, and for the first time since sitting down in this room, she showed a surprised expression.

Isn't this reason a bit outrageous?

"What exactly are these 'certain reasons'? As the person involved, I have the right to know."

The bald man said calmly, "Logically speaking, we shouldn't be nosy, but Comrade Lu's request is reasonable, so it's fine to tell you. Comrade Jiang Yu can't get along with many people because of his personality, and he can't confront people in public."

What kind of niche and bizarre language is this? Lu Youyou doubted that she was hearing Chinese!

She had communicated with Jiang Yu about data, and they would nod and greet each other occasionally when they met. Is it too late to talk about social anxiety now?

Socially anxious people often have a point, so they can bite anyone they want, and they don't even have to confront them. They're always invincible.
"Ah……"

Lu Youyou's sneer made no attempt to hide her disdain.

"If we can't confront him and won't let me expose his lies in public, how do you all plan to reach a verdict? Will you just convict me outright?"

Even the most thick-skinned bald man wouldn't dare say such a thing in public; he'd only say it to smooth things over.

If this doesn't prove Jiang Yu lied, then by the same logic, it also doesn't prove Lu Youyou lied.

Lu Youyou's reserves were greater than they had anticipated. If things went wrong during the face-to-face confrontation, there would be no way to salvage the situation.

The bald man thought for a moment and said, "We've got a pretty good idea of ​​the details. Let's call it a day. Comrade Lu, we'll let you know what happens next."

Du Guanghan had already instructed that Lu Youyou was not easy to deal with, and that if it didn't work the first time, they shouldn't force it.

If Lu Youyou had no power or influence and was an incompetent fool, the investigation team could do whatever they wanted, but the facts were completely the opposite.

Du Shuang's goal is to kill Lu Youyou, but that's easier said than done.
Du Guanghan automatically gave the target a discount—

If they really can't prove Lu Youyou's academic fraud, they can at least smear her reputation. If his wife's reputation is ruined, Gu Qingye will also be implicated.

Du Guanghan felt that his strategy was quite good. It wasn't that he hadn't tried hard enough; to make such a complete false accusation work was already quite impressive.

Lu Youyou felt that coming here today was a waste of time. Apart from having her eyes opened and seeing how shameless people can be, she gained nothing.

She stood up abruptly; these people didn't deserve her goodbye. As she went out, the door at the other end of the corridor opened, and a man with an ordinary, almost indistinct face walked out.

Lu Youyou has a very good memory and won't forget anything she's met, but Jiang Yu is such an ordinary person that he's almost impossible to find in a crowd.

When their eyes met, the person who was said to be so sensitive that he couldn't communicate with others had a very calm look in his eyes.

He glanced at Lu Youyou, but it was a blank look, and then he left in another direction.

Lu Youyou frowned slightly. Was this the look of someone with social anxiety?
I never thought that in this day and age there would be people playing the "mentally ill are innocent" card. It's quite advanced. She wouldn't dare to mess with these people if she didn't have some kind of mental problem!

There's no need to heed the investigation team's calls from now on. Just throw the data in their faces when it arrives; it's a waste of life to even glance at them.

*
The first inquiry yielded little progress, as Lu Youyou's comprehensive and multi-dimensional defense rendered the bald man's efforts futile.

Upon receiving the news, Du Guanghan couldn't help but sigh. He knew things wouldn't go smoothly, but to achieve nothing was just too incompetent!

The bald man also felt wronged: "Boss, you have no idea, that Lu Youyou is absolutely outrageous!"

The bald man described Lu Youyou's brain as a veritable database, speaking so fluently that one might mistake him for attending an awards ceremony.

Du Guanghan slammed his hand on the table in frustration.

"What are you going there for? To see something interesting? I sent you to find loopholes, not to have a keen eye for talent. If you can do it, do it; if you can't, step down as soon as possible!"

Baldy had always been a staunch subordinate of Du Guanghan, which was why this arduous task was entrusted to him this time.

Your first encounter with Lu Youyou ended inconclusively. Even if Lu Youyou is powerful, aren't you a bit too incompetent?!

Du Guanghan looked at the bald man with disappointment and frustration. In fact, he didn't have a better solution, but what could he do? He couldn't do it himself!

He neither has the ability nor the guts.

"Keep an eye on Jiang Yu. As long as he doesn't go back on his word, we'll at least be in an unassailable position." Du Guanghan glanced at the bald man. "That underhanded trick Jiang Yu came up with actually worked."

The bald man chuckled awkwardly; he wanted to take credit for it too, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.

He's been dealing with geniuses a lot lately, and he's really starting to feel uneasy.

Lu Youyou's brain is unlike a human brain; she remembers even punctuation marks.

Jiang Yu was clearly just an ordinary teacher, and dealing with him was more than just looking at him as an equal. The bald man even felt that Jiang Yu looked at him no differently than looking at a tree.

He's already quite shrewd to have become a section chief before he's even fifty. After exchanging a few words with Lu Youyou and Jiang Yu, he felt like he wasn't even the same species as them!
"Alright, alright, you can go now. Let me have some peace and quiet."

Du Guanghan waved his hand impatiently, and the bald man quickly took his leave.

After a long while, a long sigh echoed in the office.

Du Guanghan couldn't drink the tea that had been cooled down; his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

He had long anticipated that things wouldn't go smoothly, but as things actually went in this direction, he still couldn't help but feel upset.

For a moment, he even regretted it a little, wondering if he should have advised Du Shuang back then.

If all else fails, just have your brother-in-law acknowledge Gu Qingye as his son. Given Gu Bohuai's character, he wouldn't abandon Gu Yuanzheng even if he had another son.

Besides, having someone under her nose makes it easier to deal with things, which is better than picking a fight for nothing like this!
Ultimately, he will always be Gu Bohuai's brother-in-law, and he won't be any worse off. Now, he's racking his brains over Du Shuang's words.

Hey!
