Chen Zhisong agreed casually and quickly hung up the phone.

He was very upset.

He enjoyed it and doubted it at the same time, as if his soul was being pulled by two forces.

With Chen Zhisong's caution and intelligence, he certainly felt that this campaign was very aggressive and unusual.

But the benefits that came with it were too much for him to let go of!

Especially when his mother mentioned his father!

Chen Zhisong's biological father died of cancer when he was young. Later, his mother took him and remarried to a man who also had a son, and formed a new family.

His mother is just a housewife, but his stepfather is a leader in their small city, and the family has deep connections in the local area.

So after he and his mother entered that house, they were picked on and scrutinized everywhere. They were afraid that he, a slutty son, would stain the lintel of the Chen family, so he could just say "really not his biological son."

Chen Zhisong has low self-esteem and pride, holding his breath to prove himself.

He knew that his stepfather would not invest too much in him, so he studied hard, and excelled in both education and literacy since he was a child, far better than his stepbrother.

But his stepfather still only favored his stepbrother unconditionally. He worked hard and considered everything for his stepbrother, but was stingy in giving him a word of praise.

Even later, his stepbrother reluctantly entered the system as a civil servant under the arrangement of his stepfather, and he took a full scholarship to study for a Ph.D. in the world's top universities across the ocean.

His stepfather still wouldn't say a word of approval to him.

Now, my mother actually said that my stepfather was so happy that he wanted to burn his published papers to the Chen family’s ancestral grave!

This is the first time since he was a child that his stepfather has given him recognition in a meaningful way!

Chen Zhisong was so excited that he couldn't control it, as if the apple he had longed for since childhood was finally in front of him.

Even if he knew the apple was poisonous, he still wanted to get it and eat it!

Giving up the last bit of hesitation, Chen Zhisong called the mysterious man again, with a rather urgent tone:

"Are you sure... Wen Mo won't come back?"

The other party smiled jokingly, as if he had seen through all of Chen Zhisong's dirty and despicable thoughts.

Then, he slowly said:

"Of course. However, I thought you would be a little intolerant."

Chen Zhisong said nothing and gritted his teeth.

The other party suddenly laughed:

"Man, man, indeed! Nothing is more important than fame and fortune!"

Chen Zhisong wanted to explain that it was Wen Mo who betrayed him first and Wen Mo himself who broke the rules...

The words came to my lips, but I was unable to say them out.

Because he knows better than anyone in his heart that these are all excuses.

He just wants to make a name for himself, no matter the cost.

On the day of the academic conference, Chen Zhisong couldn't listen to what others said all day long, and his mind was filled with his speech later.

As time passed by, his heart beat louder and louder, his blood flowed excitedly, and his hands clenched into fists!

It seems that what follows is not just a small speech, but a ladder for his life!

After passing this hurdle, he will receive more money and honors!

One day in the future, perhaps his name will be published in textbooks and become the envy of countless people!

at last!

His name was mentioned in the venue! Chen Zhisong stood up excitedly and walked towards the stage step by step.

Countless big shots in the audience were watching him, and Chen Zhisong knew several of them. They looked ordinary and low-key, but in fact they were super big shots who had won the Nobel Prize. Behind each of them was a huge amount of scientific research funds and resources. It was a level that he had never been able to reach.

Now, they all sat there quietly, waiting to hear his paper.

Thinking of the praise he might receive soon, Chen Zhisong felt relaxed and happy.

But he did not get carried away by the excitement. Instead, he remembered the data of the key steps more clearly and made sure to spit it out without thinking.

Everything that followed went as smoothly as he imagined. There were no pauses, choking, or other awkward situations. Chen Zhisong's speech was as smooth as if he was possessed by the god of scientific research.

He spoke freely, talked and laughed, and even recalled how he dealt with difficulties in research, humorously making fun of himself. As expected, he received a lot of laughter, and the big bosses looked at him more and more kindly.

When Chen Zhisong's speech ended, a wave of applause came to him.

At this moment, Chen Zhisong was the center of the world!

"Wait, I have a question."

Near the back, an ordinary man with black-rimmed glasses stood up.

Chen Zhisong was not confused at all and politely invited the other party to stand up and answer questions.

The man pushed up his glasses and asked a few decent questions, as if he didn't understand the paper.

Chen Zhisong explained it to the other party very generously, and said with a smile that the task of researchers like them should be to make the paper more understandable, so that it can benefit more people.

Many people were laughing and nodding in approval.

Just when Chen Zhisong asked the man if he had any other questions.

The man's straightforward tone suddenly changed, and he raised a very tricky question, which directly questioned the accuracy of Chen Zhisong's paper!

Chen Zhisong was stunned on the spot:

"What you're talking about, well, I really haven't thought about it..."

In fact, it is because he is not the author himself and does not understand the experiment thoroughly enough.

Chen Zhisong tried to attribute this to a small mistake on his part and wanted to quickly get over it.

Little do you know, this is just the beginning!

The man asked several questions in a row, all of which were concise and straight to the point.

If Wen Mo himself were here, even if he couldn't answer, he should be able to explain his own solution.

But Chen Zhisong can’t!

His understanding of this research field is far less profound than that of Wen Mo. With his depth of knowledge, he is unable to answer on the spot, let alone have any clues to the solution!

The most important thing is that his paper was rejected from the source!

According to the man who asked the question, Chen Zhisong’s research was wrong! Pointless!

Oh, no! It should be that Wen Mo's research was wrong from the beginning!

For a moment, Chen Zhisong didn't know whether to ridicule Wen Mo for being like this or to be upset that he was the one facing such an embarrassing situation!

He forced himself to calm down and told the person that he would go back and think about it carefully, and thanked the other person for his valuable advice.

The man sneered: "Dr. Chen seems not familiar enough with his paper. The fifth question I mentioned is about the data of the paper, but Dr. Chen doesn't seem to notice it?"

Chen Zhisong's face turned pale, and he tried to maintain his calmness and explain that he was a little panicked.

The man smiled contemptuously and sat down on the spot.

It also made Chen Zhisong on the stage look like a clown!

Chen Zhisong also watched helplessly as the expressions of those big guys gradually changed from appreciation to doubt! (End of chapter)
