C865 Suspected Plagiarism
"Mr Chu, what can I do for you?" Are you going to tell me about my thesis? " Lee Yan asked.
"Yes, I received the first draft of your doctoral thesis from you the other day. I opened it and looked at it as soon as I went to work today. With that look, I realized something was wrong. " Zhu Nancheng's expression turned serious.
"Oh? "What's the problem?"
Seeing Zhu Nancheng's serious expression, Lee Yan felt uneasy.
Could it be, she thought, that something had gone wrong with my thesis?
"Your paper is very similar to Tian Lili's, and the data used are exactly the same. I feel that this shouldn't be a coincidence, right? " Zhu Nancheng said.
"What?" My thesis is very similar to Tian Lili's? "How is this possible?" Lee Yan was immediately stunned.
She had done hundreds of experiments in the lab to complete her doctoral thesis. It was on the basis of these experiments that she had recently completed her thesis.
After the thesis was finished, Lee Yan sent a copy of it to Zhu Nancheng's email, allowing him to take a look and give some pointers.
Zhu Nancheng was her mentor.
The instructor was also responsible for the student's thesis guidance.
"Come here, take a look for yourself." Zhu Nancheng said to Lee Yan.
He stood up and walked over to the computer on his desk.
Lee Yan frowned and followed behind Zhu Nancheng.
Zheng Hao thought for a moment and followed him.
Zhu Nancheng turned on his computer. He opened a file and said to Lee Yan, "This is Tian Lili's thesis. Take a look."
Lee Yan then went over to read Tian Lili's thesis.
She read quickly.
Lee Yan's face darkened as she continued to read.
It was just as Zhu Nancheng said, Tian Lili's thesis was almost the same as Lee Yan's. The core experimental data, the main support point of the thesis, are exactly the same.
The only difference between the two was that their narration had some slight differences.
"What, what's going on?" After Lee Yan finished reading, she shook her head, puzzled.
He was sure that he had never let Tian Lili read his essay before.
But why was Tian Lili's thesis so similar to his own?
"Lee Yan, let me ask you, did you let Tian Lili see your draft thesis before?" Zhu Nancheng asked Lee Yan.
Tian Lili and Lee Yan were all doctoral classmates, students guided by Zhu Nancheng. Zhu Nancheng brought a few doctoral students, which meant that Lee Yan and Tian Lili were girls.
Thus, the two of them were still rather close.
"No, I didn't let her read my thesis." Lee Yan shook her head.
"What about the experimental data?" Has she seen your experimental data? If she had seen your experimental data and copied all your data, she could have written a paper based on the data. " Zhu Nancheng frowned and said.
"I don't know about that, because my experimental data is locked in my own cabinet in the laboratory." Lee Yan said.
She was in a bad mood.
She had never imagined that something like this would happen.
"Hmm, this matter doesn't have much of an impact for the time being. Lee Yan, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Nancheng asked Lee Yan.
"I don't know either, Mr Chu. I'm confused right now, but I'm sure I didn't copy Tian Lili's thesis." Lee Yan said.
"I'll call Tian Lili and ask her to come over. You guys can have a meeting on the spot. "How about it?" Zhu Nancheng said.
"All right. "Then I'll be troubling Mr Chu." Lee Yan said.
"Don't be too scared. If Tian Lili copied your data, I'll teach her a lesson later and have her correct her mistake." Zhu Nancheng said.
"Thank you, Mr Chu." Lee Yan said.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She was truly a little anxious.
A doctoral thesis is often a big topic and requires a lot of work. It takes a lot of time and energy to do it.
If her doctoral thesis had to be rekindled because it coincided with Tian Lili's, it would cost a lot of money.
It might even affect her graduation defense.
Therefore, this was a huge problem.
How could she not be anxious?
"Elder Sister Yan, don't worry. Things will eventually find a solution. I'll help you. " Zheng Hao said to Lee Yan.
"Thank you, Zheng Hao." Lee Yan said pitifully.
Zhu Nancheng gave Tian Lili a call.
Not long later, someone knocked on Zhu Nancheng's office door.
"Come in!"
Zhu Nancheng said.
A very chic and seductive woman walked in. She was wearing a skintight leather jacket, a short black leather skirt, and skin-colored skintight pants.
She looked to be in her early twenties, but taking into account that she was already a doctor, Zheng Hao felt that this woman must be at least twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
"Hello, Mr Chu!" Ah! Lee Yan was also here! When did you get here? I missed you so much. " The woman chattered.
Say hello to Zhu Nancheng first.
After that, she threw herself at Lee Yan, holding her hand and expressing her feelings of intimacy.
Zheng Hao looked at the woman calmly.
He was watching her.
He discovered that although this woman appeared to be relaxed and natural on the surface, there was still a trace of vigilance and slyness in her eyes.
It looked like she was acting.
The performance had nothing to do with Lee Yan's heart.2
Show yourself how magnanimous you are now.
Only in this way would she be able to get rid of the suspicion that she was stealing Lee Yan's data.
"Tian Lili, you're here. That's for the best. Let's sit down and talk about the thesis." Zhu Nancheng said to Tian Lili.
"Oh? Have you read my thesis, Mr Chu? I've been waiting for your advice. " Tian Lili said.
The few of them sat down on the sofa.
"Tian Lili, I remember that you told me before that your doctoral thesis was on polymer chemistry, but how did the thesis you gave me become organic chemistry?" Zhu Nancheng frowned and asked Tian Lili.
"Mr Chu, I suddenly feel like I can't come up with any new ideas for polymer research. Then, a while ago, I got some inspiration for organic chemistry and began experimenting. After that, I discovered something of value and slowly perfected it. Tian Lili said.
"But I don't think you've ever told me the direction of your new thesis, have you?" Zhu Nancheng asked again.
"Yes, Mr Chu, I just wanted to give you a surprise." Tian Lili said with a sincere expression.
"But do you know that Lee Yan's thesis has always been focused on organic chemistry? "She has been experimenting in that area in our laboratory for a while. It seems like she asked you to help her when she was doing the experiment?" Zhu Nancheng said.
