2303 Don’t Mention the SCI Papers in the Future

“So, the results Ji Ziyin published about the semiconductor field were stolen from the records in my mother’s notebook.

“You didn’t agree to her registration because you were worried that she would use the contents of the notebook to trick me later.”

Feng Yu knew that she was smart, but he did not expect Qiao Nian to be smarter than he had imagined. He did not say anything, but Qiao Nian already knew everything.

She had even seen through his thoughts.

Feng Yu smiled guiltily. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect your mother’s research results.

“She’s from the First Research Institute. Logically speaking, we have the responsibility to protect her research results, but I really don’t have any evidence to prove that Ji Ziyin stole them.”

Feng Yu looked guilty. Unable to face the girl, he said in a low voice, “I contacted her in private and warned her not to cross the line again.

“But no one is willing to stop in the face of a huge temptation, let alone someone like Ji Ziyin.” Feng Yu shook his head impatiently. There was no good way to deal with the current situation.

Qiao Nian lowered her head and slowly took out her cell phone to send a message. Then, she looked up and said, “It’s fine. I’ll settle this matter.”

Outside the First Research Institute.

Ji Ziyin had just opened the car door and had yet to get in.

Gu Hengbo caught up with her and stopped her with a serious expression. “What did you say to Qiao Nian just now?”

Ji Ziyin did not expect him to chase after her and ask her about this. She was unhappy, but she did not show it. “Just a few words.”

Gu Hengbo’s gaze was sharp. He looked at her for a while before letting go and saying coldly, “I advise you not to provoke her.

“You’re at a critical moment now. It won’t do you any good to provoke her.” Gu Hengbo’s tone was not good. “You didn’t manage to see Mr. Martin previously. Before you see him, you’d better not cause trouble, let alone provoke Qiao Nian.”

Ji Ziyin’s nails dug into her flesh as she lowered her eyes and said obediently, “I understand.”

Gu Hengbo did not notice her anger as he continued, “Also, don’t mention the SCI papers in the future.”

Ji Ziyin suddenly raised her head, wanting to see what he had discovered.

Gu Hengbo met her gaze directly as if he already knew about it.

Ji Ziyin immediately lowered her head and clenched her fists even harder. “Yes, Teacher.”

“Mm.” Gu Hengbo patted her shoulder. His tone softened slightly as he said, “Bear with it a little longer. We’ll trample them under our feet sooner or later.”

Ji Ziyin answered obediently.

Gu Hengbo received a call from the laboratory and did not have time to chat with her. Reminding her again not to flaunt the research results outside, he then rushed back to the research institute.

Ji Ziyin waited for his back view to disappear before dropping her smile. Then, she opened the car door expressionlessly, got inside, and instructed the chauffeur, “Let’s go back.”

The chauffeur could tell that she was in a bad mood and did not even dare to breathe loudly. He immediately turned the car around and drove towards Ji Ziyin’s residence.

…

In the next few days, Ji Ziyin was worried that Qiao Nian would discover something. However, everything was calm, as if the conflict in the office that day did not exist.

Ji Ziyin gradually relaxed and stopped caring about the SCI papers.

Instead, she focused her energy on finding out Martin’s schedule and even asked Ji Xiao to keep an eye on Martin’s schedule for her. She looked forward to meeting him.
