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

Chapter 242 What Compensation Does Comrade Little Deer Want?

Du Shuang only realized now that he had such intentions.

It's too late to say anything now; they seem to have no other choice but to give up halfway.

The late-night meeting ended without a conclusion, but both of them knew that their scheme had failed.

Du Shuang fears she will really lose the title of Madam Gu, and Du Guanghan will have no powerful backer to rely on from now on. For a long time to come, the two of them will have to keep a low profile.

The next day at work, Du Guanghan received new materials from Tsinghua University. If he hadn't seen the document the night before, he would have been shocked. Now he only felt fortunate that Lu Youyou had indeed prepared a backup plan.

The document was stamped with the seal of the 507th Research Institute of the PLA, and the date was before Lu Youyou enrolled in school.

This alone undermines Jiang Yu's claim of "taking the lead".

Just then, the bald man came over to report that he had already contacted a professor at the Ocean University, which startled Du Guanghan so much that he quickly called a halt.

"Stop everything! The investigation team doesn't need to investigate anymore!"

The bald man hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Are you... sure?"

We've already done so much, are we just going to give up like this?
Du Guanghan was too lazy to explain, and slapped the seal of the 507 Institute in front of him: "Take a look, and we'll talk after you've read it."

The bald man skimmed through the pages to the last one. He didn't understand any of the theoretical data, so he just stared at the handwritten letter written by the director of Institute 507 and the seal at the end.

He couldn't help but touch it, as if to confirm its authenticity, but then he thought that no one would dare to forge the military or regional seals in Xiaowenyu.

The bald man had nothing to say, which meant they had been wasting their time.

Thinking back to Lu Youyou's calm demeanor when facing the investigation team last time, did she look at them as if they were clowns?
"Should I go and tell the professor that he doesn't need to go?"

"Nonsense, hurry up and write a report, put all the blame on Jiang Yu. Fortunately, no conclusion has been reached yet. At most, the investigation team misjudged him and didn't clear his name as quickly as possible."

Baldy was furious but dared not speak out. He knew this was the best outcome and only hoped that Du Guanghan could hold on and provide support for those of them who were handling the matter.

The claim that "the plagiarism was just a misunderstanding" quickly spread throughout Tsinghua University, and Luo Youliang sneered when he heard it.

Is it all just a misunderstanding? This is a complete fabrication, and someone must be held accountable!

Luo Youliang still invoked his mentor's name, insisting that Lu Youyou must get an explanation, or he would not let the matter rest.

Du Guanghan was frantically dealing with Jiang Yu's trip abroad when, to his surprise, he suddenly couldn't be contacted.

No one was home at Jiang Yu's house, and the neighbors said they hadn't seen him for several days. Du Guanghan was extremely anxious. Could it be that he had run away because he heard that things had been exposed?
Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Yu was sitting in an empty room, with a bright light shining overhead. It wasn't even summer yet, but he was already sweating profusely.

Gu Bohuai certainly wouldn't stop there. The Du siblings weren't important, but Jiang Yu was someone worth investigating.

He was unassuming yet able to deconstruct Lu Youyou's report in a very short time, and the manuscripts kept in his home also proved that he was no ordinary person.

It seems illogical for someone like this to be stuck in a university as an insignificant lecturer, lacking any ambition, and still yearning to go abroad.

Originally, this matter could have been left to Gu Qingye, but since Lu Youyou was involved, it was best for Gu Qingye to avoid suspicion, so Gu Bohuai personally took charge of the matter.

Tsinghua University
Luo Youliang argued his case forcefully and refused to yield an inch, ultimately forcing the investigation team to issue a public notice confirming that someone had made a false accusation and that Lu Youyou had been completely innocent.

Not only that, the funding that had been stuck for over a month was approved at the fastest speed, without any reduction in funding; it was approved in the morning and arrived in the afternoon. Luo Youliang called Lu Youyou to his office, and when Lu Youyou arrived, she found that the leaders of the Academic Affairs Office were also there.

"Little deer is here, come sit down!"

Luo Youliang was now in high spirits, and his eyes lit up several degrees when he saw Lu Youyou.

The academic affairs director smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Lu, the school also wants to apologize to you for this incident. It was our fault for not protecting the students."

Jiang Yu is, after all, a lecturer at Tsinghua University, so the school bears some responsibility, and the director of academic affairs did not evade the facts.

"Comrade Xiaolu, you can speak up about any compensation you want, and we can discuss it further."

Luo Youliang winked at Lu Youyou, signaling that since they had a rare opportunity, she should feel free to make any requests.

She pondered for a moment, seemingly realizing there was nothing she truly wanted, perhaps...

Can I minor in agriculture and forestry?

The academic affairs director was stunned. What kind of request was this?
Luo Youliang was extremely anxious. Was the genius he had finally found going to fly away?

"Little Deer, what's so great about studying agriculture and forestry? Isn't marine engineering a promising field? Why have you suddenly taken a liking to farming?"

Lu Youyou didn't like farming, but she suddenly thought of the predicament of Dongzhou Island lacking vegetables. Although she and Gu Qingye no longer lived on the island, the hardships there would not disappear just because they left.

Now that we've already researched seawater desalination, why not also solve the problem of difficulty in obtaining vegetables?

Planting in saline-alkali land and hydroponics are existing research directions, but she had never learned about them before and definitely needed to study them systematically.

Lu Youyou made up her mind, and Luo Youliang felt worse than if he had swallowed bitter herbs. Geniuses are stubborn, and he couldn't persuade her!
If the teacher knew that his grand-disciple, whom he had barely warmed up, had switched to researching something else, would he expel him from the school...?

The academic affairs director was very relaxed. He didn't expect that the victim just wanted to study another major. This was hardly a request!
Let alone learning one more degree, if Lu Youyou can really complete her studies, issuing another diploma is not a difficult task. They are willing to make an exception for a genius.

The academic affairs director promised her that it would be done within three days, and she could just go and attend the class.

After the dean of academic affairs left, Luo Youliang looked resentful, and Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong with you? I'm not changing my major, I'm just developing a hobby."

"Is it really just a hobby?"

Geniuses learn everything quickly. What if Lu Youyou really becomes obsessed with farming? Luo Youliang doesn't know who he'll have to cry to then.

"Really, this is still my main job, and the seawater desalination project is not finished yet. I will not give up halfway."

Even if Luo Youliang was worried, what could he do? What Lu Youyou studied was her own business. He could only keep a close eye on her in the future and not let the old guys from the Agriculture and Forestry Department come and snatch her away.

Luo Youliang soon realized that he had put his mind at ease too soon. The next day at work, Luo Youliang met Dean Qian of the College of Agriculture in his department.

Old Qian was beaming with joy, but that wasn't the point. The point was that he was talking to Lu Youyou!
Luo Youliang felt the corner of the wall begin to shake and dust fall, and he could vaguely see the light and shadow of a hoe.

Can't this old man wait even a moment longer?

We agreed on three days, but the thief broke into our house in just one night!
