Chapter 358 Traitors

"You're spouting nonsense, how is that possible!" Before Huang He could speak, Ni Guangnan on the side couldn't help but angrily rebuke.

"How is it impossible? After all the markings are polished away, can you tell at a glance if the chip was bought?" the student retorted.

"This... such a foolish expert, how could those reviewing experts not know?"

"In this day and age, aren't all experts idiots? There are only more idiotic ones, never the most idiotic!"

The student's fierce rebuttal left Ni Guangnan speechless. Huang He quickly smoothed things over, "Young student, the two of us are actually here to attend the press conference. Moreover, we are Chen Jin's competitors, so we are very interested in any negative information about him. Could you tell us everything you know?"

"Of course, no problem!" the other party immediately replied. "I was actually a researcher under Chen Jin before, and I've been working there for two years. Many things were done by us researchers at the bottom, and many things we saw with our own eyes."

"Although Chen Jin had his confidants find a renovation worker to polish it, this master was guided by me when he came, and I watched him polish away the inscriptions on the chip with my own eyes!" the student said through gritted teeth.

"If that's the case, why are you speaking out? Wouldn't it be better to continue working for Chen Jin?" Huang He asked curiously.

"Because this bastard will never let me graduate with my master's degree!" His face was filled with anger. "When I was researching chips, I discovered a new structure that could save about 10% of chip energy consumption. This is a huge discovery, and it's too much of a waste to use this discovery as my master's thesis."

"So, I planned to publish this discovery as my personal paper and apply for a patent after I graduate with my master's degree. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about the rest of my life."

"But unexpectedly, Chen Jin actually found out about my research and insisted that I write it into my master's thesis. Because of this, the first author of this thesis would be him, Chen Jin, and this research achievement would become his research achievement, while my research achievement would be completed under his guidance and assistance. In that case, I would have nothing!"

"So, I didn't listen to him and directly submitted the thesis I had originally prepared. He then failed me. He even told me clearly that as long as I didn't hand over that thesis to him, he would never approve my thesis and would not let me graduate, meaning I would have to remain a postgraduate student for my entire life!"

"This bastard thought I would be coerced like other students, but he didn't know that I, Dai Jiang, am also a tough person. It's either we both lose or we go down together. I don't care about graduating, but I want to ruin his reputation and make him a rat that everyone shouts at!" Dai Jiang clenched his fists, his hatred soaring.

"If that's really the case, then you don't need to be here causing trouble and doing such dangerous things. You could have just reported it to the relevant departments. Such obvious falsification could be investigated and clarified with just one person!" Ni Guangnan couldn't help but speak up again.

"How do you know I haven't reported it? I've reported it 15 times, a total of 15 times!!" Dai Jiang opened his palm, his face filled with pain.

"But every report was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and not a single report received a response. I've reported to 6 different departments successively, but the results are all the same."

"Especially the last two times, not only did the reports yield no results, but I also discovered people lurking outside my dormitory, which scared me into moving and hiding in a secret place. I think the only successful way currently is to expose his true face here at the press conference in front of all the reporters."

"I originally wanted to sneak into the venue, but I didn't expect the security here to be so tight, and I was caught. In my desperation, I shouted about the falsification, and then you saved me!" Dai Jiang sighed.

"It's only natural for the security to be tight. If the facts are as you say, then I guess Chen Jin already knows you intend to report him, and he might even make a move at this important occasion, so he specifically arranged more security measures. It's estimated that if I hadn't stopped you midway, and if these security guards didn't recognize your identity, thinking you were just an ordinary person trying to sneak in, you would have been sent directly to Chen Jin by now, and only heaven knows what the outcome would have been!" Huang He narrowed his eyes and said.

"If he has the guts, let him kill me!" Dai Jiang said.

"No, he definitely won't kill you. Killing you would change the nature of the situation entirely. He just needs to send you to a mental hospital, claim that you suffered a major setback during your research and became mentally unstable, and that would be enough!"

"After all, he is your mentor and a nationally renowned professor, his words carry great authority. With some subtle means, you might never be able to leave the mental hospital in your life!" Huang He said indifferently.

"Damn..." Dai Jiang's hair stood on end upon hearing this. He had never considered such a way to deal with him. If he were sent to a mental hospital, no matter how much he said, he would be considered mentally ill and could never leave the hospital. XXS YI ER

And if he stayed there for a long time, he might become mentally ill even if he wasn't initially.

Historically, Huang He couldn't recall anyone causing a scene at a press conference. Either this was another person, Dai Jiang, who didn't exist in history, or the historical Dai Jiang chose to endure this time, and only successfully reported Chen Jin in 2006.

Or, Dai Jiang had already been sent to a mental hospital.

In any case, regardless of the outcome, the historical Chen Jin and his Hanxin took hundreds of millions of yuan in national research funding and lived luxuriously until 2006 before the truth was exposed.

"If you believe me, then listen to my arrangement!" Huang He pondered for a while and then said to Dai Jiang.

"Please tell me!" Dai Jiang asked somewhat cautiously and with some anticipation.

"You do this..." Huang He leaned closer to Dai Jiang and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Will this really work?" Dai Jiang asked hesitantly after listening.

"Don't worry, reporting was useless because you were looking for the wrong target. As long as you find the right place to report, you will be invincible!" Huang He said with a chuckle.

"But I don't know those people!" Dai Jiang hesitated.

"Hu Jing, help him!" Huang He said to Hu Jing behind him. Hu Jing nodded and led Dai Jiang away.

"What are you planning to do? Please don't misunderstand Professor Chen. What if this student is just a rumor-monger?" Ni Guangnan still felt a bit dizzy, unable to believe such a preposterous scam, and said.

"Teacher, whether it's true or false, we'll know after an examination. In this world, as long as you're willing to investigate, the truth will not be falsified, and falsehoods cannot be true! If it's found that the chip is genuine, then we can fully support Professor Chen Jin. I'm even willing to apologize to him in person and ask him to be your successor!"

"If it's found that the chip is fake, then aren't we saving the country a huge financial loss? More importantly, we can save several years of time, which can be used to develop chips that truly belong to our country!" Huang He said.

"Alright, then let's investigate!" Ni Guangnan nodded, although deep down he still believed the chip couldn't be fake.

"Good, teacher, let's go in first and meet this Professor Chen. After all, we should witness the most glorious moment of his life!" Huang He said with a smile, then took off his sunglasses and mask, revealing his identity. He accompanied Professor Ni Guangnan to the entrance of the auditorium.

"Huh, is that Huang He?"

"It really seems to be Huang He!"

"That Huang He?"

"Who else could it be but Chairman Huang He of Jiangnan Group!"

"Oh my god, it really is him. I didn't expect that the esteemed Chairman of Jiangnan Group would come this time!"

"Isn't it? Don't you see what an astonishing research achievement our professor is presenting today? China is about to stand up completely in the chip industry today, hahahaha!"

"That's right, we've completely stood up, Professor Chen is our pride!"

As soon as Huang He revealed his true appearance, it immediately caused a huge sensation around the auditorium. Many reporters who were preparing to enter the venue simply retreated and gathered around Huang He, taking pictures of him frantically. This startled the reception staff. After they realized it was Huang He who had arrived, someone immediately informed Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was already greeting guests near the entrance. Upon hearing that Huang He had arrived, he immediately walked out and enthusiastically greeted him, shaking Huang He's hand. "Mr. Huang, you've finally arrived. I thought you wouldn't grace us with your presence!"

"Not at all, Professor Chen has made such a great contribution to our country's chip industry. I had to come no matter what to express my congratulations!" Huang He said with a smile. The two then exchanged pleasantries with smiles and apparent happiness.

"Professor Chen, long time no see!" Ni Guangnan coughed and then extended his hand proactively.

"Academician Ni, why are you here? I don't remember inviting you!" Seeing Ni Guangnan, Chen Jin was genuinely startled.

"Heh heh, old fellow, I'm an uninvited guest. As for you, shouldn't you send me an invitation first?" Ni Guangnan said.

"Not at all, I originally planned to send you the first invitation, but I heard you were also working on chips, and I was afraid my invitation would displease you. After much deliberation, I dared not send it. I didn't expect Academician Ni to be so magnanimous and open-minded, taking the initiative to come. It truly makes me so excited that I don't know what to say!"

Under the camera lenses of the reporters, Chen Jin's attitude was impeccable, and both Huang He and Ni Guangnan wore continuous smiles. This picture, filled with smiles, would be on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow.
