Chapter 526: Press conference

Qin Yan’s words failed to convince Qiao Qing.

"Yan Yan, how can you say this? And if it really is not a big deal, why aren’t you doing anything to prevent the rumors from spreading?" Qiao Qing asked. She waited in concern. She wanted a response from Qin Yan.

"It’s nothing," Qin Yan replied. Her response was calm and unhurried.

Qiao Qing took a deep breath to calm herself before she asked again, "Yan Yan, are you sure it’s nothing? Can I do anything to help you?"

"No need. I will take care of this," Qin Yan replied.

"Are you sure?" Qiao Qing was still not satisfied. She thought that if Qin Yan had a solution, she would have solved the problem by now.

However, Qin Yan was still firm on her words, "Yes, I will deal with it myself."

Feeling helpless about the situation, Qiao Qing decided to leave. However, she still reminded Qin Yan, "Yan Yan, if I can help you with something, please let me know."

"Sure."

As soon as the Angel Pharmaceuticals said that it would hold a press conference to talk about a new paper that was getting released and respond about the plagiarism incident, Chu Xing began to laugh.

Qin Yan was going to be sentenced in public. And there was nothing that anyone could do to stop it from happening. Her entire future would be ruined. No matter how much Qin Yan changed, there was always going to be a stain on her name. Whatever she did in the future would be in vain. All the hard work that she had put in would be for naught.

This incident and the stain on Qin Yan’s name would also prevent Fang Zichen and Han Cheng from seeking treatment from Qin Yan. After all, who wanted to get treated by a liar! In fact, they might also stop contacting Qin Yan in the future. This way, all her troubles would be gone.

Thinking of all this, Chu Xing walked towards Fang Zichen and Han Cheng’s room immediately. Her steps were hurried as she entered the room. Unlike every time, this time she just knocked the door of the room and entered without anyone allowing her to.

Fang Zichen and Han Cheng were shocked to see Chu Xing hurrying towards them.

"Umm..."

"I am sorry to barge in, but..." Chu Xing pretended to hesitate in front of the Han couple.

Fang Zichen looked up from the book in her hands, "Xing’er, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Xing nodded, "I am fine, but..." She put forward her hand holding the cellphone towards Han Cheng, "Uncle, take a look at this."

Han Cheng took the cellphone from Chu Xing’s hands with a puzzled expression. At first, he did not understand why Chu Xing was behaving so weirdly. However, when he saw the contents displayed on the cellphone, his face darkened.

Fang Zichen, on the other hand, could not comprehend what was happening. She nudged her husband, "Cheng, what is going on?"

Han Cheng handed over the cellphone to Fang Zichen. The latter read the contents of the post but she could not believe it. She said, "I don’t believe this. Qin Yan is not such a person. There must be some misunderstanding."

Hearing Fang Zichen, Chu Xing replied, "I think Aunt Fang is right. Although I don’t know Miss Qin properly, but she did not appear to be such a person. Maybe, it was a coincidence that the articles turned out to be similar."

Although Chu Xing appeared to have been siding with Qin Yan, her words directed to the fact that this cannot be a coincidence. How could two articles be almost same? It is not possible in any situation.

Han Cheng spoke up, "This cannot be a coincidence." He then turned to Fang Zichen and said, "Zichen, let’s leave. I cannot let you treated by a person with such moral conduct."

"But, Cheng..."

"Zichen, please. Although Qin Yan doesn’t have a degree, I allowed her to treat you only because you were confident about her. But not anymore," Han Cheng was adamant on his decision.

"Fine, but at least let me speak to Qin Yan first. It doesn’t seem right to leave without informing the other party," Fang Zichen pleaded.

Han Cheng sighed, "Zichen, she has deceived you once and I don’t want you to be deceived by her again. You are soft-hearted and you can’t figure out what the other party’s intentions are."

"Zichen, just listen to me this once."

"Okay," Fang Zichen finally agreed. She did not agree because she did not trust Qin Yan, she agreed because she did not have anything to say in her favor. She didn’t understand how to convince her husband and being unreasonable just to convince her husband was not her forte.

Chu Xing’s eyes flashed with smugness as she saw that her plan had succeeded. However, she did not show it on her face. She appeared like she would go with the Han couple’s decision.

Qin Yan did not know anything about the Han family’s departure. She was now busy in sorting out her own issues.

Angel Pharmaceuticals had announced the press conference and thus many people looked forward to it.

The next day, the press conference was being held at a hotel in the capital. The Company’s influence had always been very good. And thus, as soon as the word got out that a press conference was going to be held, many journalists had arrived at the hotel.

The main purpose of the press conference was to announce the release of a medical cosmetic to the public.

As usual, the press conference was broadcasted on the Internet. However, this time, the number of views was much higher than ever before.

In the past, the only people who watched such a broadcast were people in the medical and academic community. Most of the people interested in such a broadcast would be researchers from other companies. The public would know about it later.

However, there were a lot of viewers today. In fact, most of the viewers were students. There were also quite a few parents and teachers watching as well.

The first half of the press conference was a bit boring for most people to watch. It was all academic and thus, a lot of people didn’t understand what was going on. However, in the second half, there was a question-and-answer section with the journalists. At this point, a journalist asked the Company about the recent rumors of plagiarism.

The journalist was not so much concerned about the plagiarism itself as they were about the fact that the subject of the plagiarism was Dr. Q. Dr. Q had always been mysterious. They didn’t want to miss out on any news about him.

"May I ask about what Dr. Q. thinks about the rumors on the Internet in the past two days? Does he know that he was plagiarized by a university student?"

As soon as the journalist asked this, messages and comments started to pop up:

[Finally!!! Here comes the main event!]

[I’m waiting for the student who plagiarized to get the punishment that they deserved.]

[I’m from Beijing University! I still believe that she did not plagiarize!]

[Are you joking? There’s literally evidence all around you and you’re still saying that she didn’t plagiarize? Let’s see what the Company thinks about this. I wonder if they’re going to take legal action against her.]

[I hope the Company does take legal action! If they do, I bet that the student who plagiarized will regret the matter so much that her guts would turn blue.]

The person in charge of answering the questions from the journalists was Wu Yi. He answered the questions in a modest manner and with a calm voice.

"Plagiarism is indeed a very serious manner. Regardless of the industry, we have zero tolerance for plagiarism."

As soon as Wu Yi said this, a lot of the messages said: [Lawyers and lawsuits incoming.]

[The Company isn’t going to be that serious, are they? If they are, that student is in trouble!]

[What do you mean in trouble? She deserves it!]

[I support Dr. Q in taking legal action against the student! Zero tolerance for plagiarism!]

[I also support Dr. Q in taking legal action against the student! People should pay the price for what they did!]

The journalist continued to question Wu Yi: "So according to Mr. Wu, will Dr. Q be taking legal action against the female student who plagiarized?"

"What are you talking about?" Wu Yi asked. A light smile played on the corner of his mouth. His eyes shone behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Didn’t you just say that you have zero tolerance for plagiarism?" The journalist didn’t see any problem with his inference.

"Yes, we have zero tolerance for plagiarism. However, there is no such thing as plagiarism in this case. So why should we file a lawsuit?" Wu Yi questioned the journalist.
