Chapter 21: What identity are you using to talk to me now!
"Yeah, I saw it all." Wu Tianming couldn't lie flat on the bed at this moment.
After he sat up, he looked in Wang Ye's direction and met his gaze.
"Tianming, this Yao Luo, could it be..." Wang Ye glanced at the person sitting below.
Wu Tianming nodded, thinking that it was definitely not such a coincidence. Luo Yao had just sent an email last night, and this morning "Semiconductors" revealed that there were errors in Ke Zhan's paper.
And this Yao Luo, no matter how you look at it, sounds like Luo Yao's name!
He decided to confirm it himself: "Luo Yao, didn't you send an email yesterday pointing out the errors in Professor Ke's paper? Did you send it directly to his email?"
Luo Yao looked up, a hint of confusion on his face. "No, I sent it directly to the editor of Semiconductor."
"What!" Wu Tianming and Wang Ye shouted in unison.
"You said that if I sent the email to Professor Ke, he would most likely not make changes. With so many of us contributing to Semiconductors, what if we cite his erroneous opinions when writing our papers?"
Wu Tianming was reminded by Luo Yao and realized that he had indeed told Luo Yao before that Ke Zhan would most likely ignore the email.
His original intention was to tell Luo Yao not to put too much hope on sending the email , but unexpectedly, this reminded Luo Yao instead.
If Ke Zhan is unwilling to proofread the paper for the sake of royalties and his assessment, then he will find someone with the authority to proofread to solve the problem.
Wu Tianming secretly regretted it in his heart. When he said this before, he completely forgot that the person standing in front of him was a top student, and the other person's brain circuit was inherently different from that of ordinary people.
Now, Luo Yao has completely offended Ke Zhan.
"I say, Luo Yao, why didn't you listen? Now if Ke Zhan knew it was you who did it, he would definitely make trouble for you." Wu Tianming got out of bed in a hurry. He pulled over a chair and sat down, and asked Wang Ye to get down quickly as well.
Although Wang Ye was fat, his limbs were still quite flexible and he climbed down the stairs beside the bed in two or three steps.
"What should we do now?" Wang Ye also sat down and asked Wu Tianming while looking at him.
Luo Yao, who was standing by, looked at them in confusion, not knowing why they suddenly became nervous.
"There are two options now. The first is that we pretend we don't know who Yao Luo is. Even if Ke Zhan asks, we won't know."
Wang Ye glanced at Luo Yao, who was sitting beside him in deep thought, and waved his hand, saying, "That's a dubious idea. Look at Luo Yao. Would he lie?"
Wu Tianming was speechless.
Wang Ye was right. Luo Yao was outspoken and unyielding when it came to academic matters, so it would be difficult to get him to lie. Even if they managed to hide it, Ke Zhan would have a way to track him down through his email.
"Then let's go with the second option. If Ke Zhan really does something excessive, I'll ask my dad to handle it."
"You're going to mobilize your father tomorrow?"
"The school leader and my dad are acquainted. He previously mentioned that he would donate some money to the school. The school leaders are looking forward to this money. I will tell my dad about Luo Yao's situation when the time comes. My dad values talented people and will definitely not let them go unattended."
Luo Yao is simple-minded and although his personality is not pleasing, he is definitely an excellent person. Wu Tianming thinks it is a pity that such a person is targeted by the teacher.
"That's fine too. With your father as his backer, Luo Yao at least doesn't have to worry about being targeted by Ke Zhan." Wang Ye stood up and prepared to find some bread to eat.
Luo Yao was completely confused. He asked, "Why did he target me just because I pointed out his mistake?"
Wu Tianming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Luo Yao, you really haven't experienced the harshness of society. This school is a small society with complicated interpersonal relationships. Everything will affect your grades and your future, so you should endure it if you can."
"We won't be here for many years anyway."
Luo Yao frowned slightly and said, "I'm here to learn, not to maintain interpersonal relationships."
"If we can't even point out teachers' mistakes, are we just going to let them impart erroneous knowledge?"
"That's not the case. It's just that we need to be methodical. If it's not necessary, don't make a big fuss." Wu Tianming knew that Luo Yao really didn't understand the ways of the world, so he patiently told him this.
"Hey, someone in the group said Ke Zhan wants to look for Luo Yao and asked Luo Yao to come to the office." Wang Ye was shocked when he saw the message in the group.
"Do you think Ke Zhan already knows that the email was signed by Yao Luo? Is it Luo Yao?"
"Oh my god, so fast?" Wu Tianming was disturbed by this sudden incident and stood up from his chair.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to call my dad right now." Wu Tianming said as he was about to make the call but was stopped by Wang Ye.
"Don't fight yet. Let's go with Luo Yao first and see what's going on. If things get bad, we can fight later."
"If it was just an ordinary situation, it would be inappropriate for you to call your dad."
Wu Tianming felt that what Wang Ye said made sense, so the two of them took action immediately and accompanied Luo Yao to Ke Zhan's office first.
On the way, Wu Tianming did not forget to remind Luo Yao not to talk nonsense when he saw Ke Zhan later, and it would be best if he could keep silent.
Luo Yao didn't care, but seeing Wu Tianming was so serious, he nodded anyway.
When they arrived at the office, Luo Yao went in alone, and Ke Zhan asked him to close the door.
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye had no choice but to lie on the door and eavesdrop.
"Luo Yao, I'd like to ask if you were the one who sent the email to Semiconductors pointing out the errors in my paper."
Just when Wu Tianming and Wang Ye thought Luo Yao wouldn't answer, Luo Yao spoke up: "I sent it. There are five errors in your paper. Do you need me to explain them in detail?"
The two people outside the door looked at each other. They didn't know how Ke Zhan would react after hearing this, but they felt like vomiting blood anyway.
People are coming to accuse you of something, and you are still trying to explain it to them in a serious manner!
You don't really think that the other party is looking for you to discuss the problems in the paper, right?
How come this top student has such low EQ!
"Who are you talking to me with?" Ke Zhan was obviously also annoyed by Luo Yao. In a fit of anger, he showed his identity as a teacher.
"Teacher Ke, don't you know? I'm a student." Luo Yao actually didn't want to answer this question, because it was such an obvious thing, didn't Ke Zhan know?
So stupid.
No wonder there were so many mistakes in the paper. Luo Yao suddenly didn't want to talk to Ke Zhan anymore.
He now suspected that even if he explained it, Ke Zhan might not be able to understand it.
"Okay! Since you're a student, why didn't you contact me first after you discovered the problem? Instead, why did you contact the editor of Semiconductor?"
"If I contact you, will you correct it?" Luo Yao said without any emotion.
"I think Ke Zhan is going crazy because of Luo Yao." Wang Ye whispered to Wu Tianming.
"What should I do now? Contact my dad?"
Just as Wu Tianming was about to take out his phone, someone interrupted him: "Is Teacher Ke in there?"
