At 7:10 in the morning, Richard walked into his real room wearing a tracksuit and a backpack.

As usual, he walked from one end of the corridor to the other end of the corridor, where a row of six real rooms are all part of Richard's real room, one of which is a public real room with expensive instruments, one is a preparation room with cheap consumables, one is Richard's exclusive real room, and the other three belong to three research groups, which are handed over to three teachers from Peking University to lead students to try three different research directions identified by Richard.

The difference is that when Richard usually came to the real yàn room, all the real yàn rooms were already on call or working, but today half of the rooms are not lit yet.

Because Richard came early.

Richard was once a time-bound scholar who didn't arrive early or late. Normally, Richard would come to the real room between 7:30 and 7:45. And when he arrives at the real yàn room, a row of six real yàn rooms will be like welcoming the soldiers on review, lighting the lamp, cleaning and cleaning, in an orderly and orderly manner.

The unexpected early arrival allowed Richard to see the other side of the room.

The diligent and careful students are checking the objects in the real yàn room, or have started the real yàn preparations, and the more lazy students have either not arrived, or are desperately trying to restore order in the real yàn room......

Richard felt like a tourist entering a hotel room early, and the beautiful scene he had imagined was completely replaced by chaos.

"When you leave the room, you should restore the things you have used to their original state. Richard muttered in English and came to his office.

This is a square room of about 20 square meters, and in schools where there is not enough office space, it belongs to the special treatment of visiting scholars.

It was Zhu Jiahao who helped Richard scrub the desk, he was humming a song while working, but he didn't expect Richard to come now, so he couldn't help but look at the clock on the table and said, "You're early." ”

"Yes. Richard nodded unhappily, then looked around the desk and asked sharply, "What about the journal I wanted?"

"Teacher Liu took it and looked at it, saying that he would bring it later. After Zhu Jiahao finished speaking, he added without knowing the current affairs: "You are earlier than usual." ”

Richard only felt a burst of fire, he knew that he was early, but he didn't want others to point it out.

Richard had thought that he would not be discovered twenty minutes earlier, but he was obviously wrong.

Everyone knew he was early!

Fortunately, no one knows why he came early.

Richard sat down in his chair, the leather cushion moaning arrogantly.

"I asked Mr. Liu to bring the journal over?" Zhu Jiahao looked at Richard, who was full of displeasure, and asked tentatively.

Richard's chin tapped casually, he couldn't make the students think that he had come early just to read the JMC periodical. Although Richard couldn't resist coming 20 minutes early, just to read the JMC journal.

In the past period of time, despite the efforts of Richard's team, they have not been able to get phased results, and the time is a bit short after all, and it is normal for the progress to be not fast.

However, thinking that Yang Rui had published the paper before he published it, even if Richard thought rationally and got the news from Assistant Professor Liu, he felt that it was an innocuous political paper, but he still inevitably felt the danger.

The stinging danger was perceived yesterday when an old friend of Richard in the United States informed him that the journal "JMC" had decided to publish Yang Rui's paper.

He didn't get the original text of Yang Rui's paper, but he had a bad feeling intuitively.

"JMC" is not a journal that can be published by cats and dogs, or in other words, it is impossible for an innocuous paper to be published in JMC.

Thinking about it this way, Assistant Teacher Liu once said with great certainty that either Yang Rui's unexpected speculation succeeded, or he was fooled at all.

Either way, Richard needs the journal itself to prove it.

However, Zhu Jiahao didn't understand Richard's casual nod, and he tried his best to ask again: "Do you mean to let me bring the journal over, or don't you have to bring it?"

“yes。 ”

Zhu Jiahao was sick with Chinese thinking, and asked again: "Do you bring yes or not?" Mr. Liu will be back after a while......

Richard couldn't hold back any longer, and his voice popped out between his teeth, "Go and get the journal." ”

Zhu Jiahao shuddered and didn't hear clearly, and asked cutely, "What?"

"The professor is here. Assistant Teacher Liu probed his brain and came in, which was regarded as pulling Zhu Jiahao out of the Flame Mountain.

Richard didn't bother to speak, hooked his fingers, and asked for the journal.

Assistant Professor Liu nodded on his heels, handed the journal to Zhu Jiahao in the center of the room, pouted, motioned for him to go to the professor, and walked out of the room by himself.

"Stop. Richard gave the order and began to read the periodicals.

Assistant Teacher Liu stood helplessly and glared at Zhu Jiahao unhappily.

Zhu Jiahao didn't know why, and innocently looked around.

Richard opened the journal, first scanned the table of contents, then flipped to Yang Rui's paper, and read it carefully.

Assistant Teacher Liu quietly observed Richard.

I saw that he frowned first, then frowned, and occasionally wanted to drop the book......

Eventually, after reading the article, Richard slammed the journal on his desk with a "bang".

Chinese researchers are dishonest, very dishonest. Richard repeated it two or three times and asked, "Liu, have you read Yang Rui's paper, what is your evaluation?"

"Shocking!" Assistant Teacher Liu used an ambiguous word. Accusing the researcher of fraud is a very serious accusation, and with Yang Rui's current situation, Assistant Professor Liu is already a little reluctant to offend him. Richard is the one who wants to return to the United States, and Yang Rui will probably stay in Chinese academia for another few decades......

Richard didn't hear Assistant Teacher Liu's ambiguity, and said heavily: "It's really shocking, his thesis is ......."

Looking down again, Richard suddenly didn't know where to start.

"This is not a small paper. Richard once again pointed the finger at Assistant Teacher Liu, a few days ago, it was Assistant Teacher Liu who told him that Yang Rui had written only a small paper.

Assistant Teacher Liu hurriedly grabbed Zhu Jiahao and said, "He sued me." ”

"What do you mean?" said Richard frowned again.

Assistant Teacher Liu spit out the cause in one go, and then planted the cause and effect on Zhu Jiahao.

Zhu Jiahao looked aggrieved and said, "It was Yang Rui who sued him." ”

"In other words, you're not sure it's a small paper?" Richard didn't pursue Zhu Jiahao, still focused on Assistant Teacher Liu, and said in a more and more stern tone: "You sue me when the news is so uncertain, hehe, Yang Rui is afraid that I will do such a thing." ”

Assistant Teacher Liu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Richard didn't scold anymore, he knew that it was his own decision that buried the last chance.

If he could resist the temptation of a top journal and write a small paper in simple language, then he would still get at least a little interest, unlike now, where he lost all his principal.

However, writing a small paper first means that when you get a phased result, you may not be favored by high-level journals because of the loss of novelty.

Richard was reluctant to mess with low-level journals unless he had to.

That's a lot of money.

Although Yang Rui has only made phased results, and is not sure whether it is "true or false" - at least Richard has to re-verify.

However, the phased results also mean that all the efforts of Richard in the early stage of the room were in vain.

"Let's call everyone to a meeting, I think I'm not the only one disappointed. Richard waved his hand in a dejected manner.
