After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 338: FSI’s Downfall! The fourth disguise is completely gone!

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: FSI’s Downfall! The fourth disguise is completely gone!

Only the youngsters engage in platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu.

Old-timers like Wu Anmin and Ji Weiyuan, for one, didn’t even know how to use Weibo before, nor did they need to.

Secondly, they always immerse themselves in their own fields of research, having no time or energy to pay attention to such things.

Thus, even though the scandal involving Peng Hongyuan had caused a massive uproar on Weibo, Ji Weiyuan and Wu Anmin were completely oblivious to it.

It was only when Ji Yan called his grandpa in the afternoon and told Ji Weiyuan that Peng Hongyuan was taken away by the police, and Lu Sheng, who tried to defend him, was viciously attacked online, that Ji Weiyuan realized something serious had happened.

Ji Weiyuan immediately called Peng Hongyuan, only to find that his phone was unreachable, and then he quickly called Wu Anmin.

Accusations such as luring underage girls with offers, suppressing fellow professors, exploiting students for personal gains, verbal abuse, and even attempted rape and sexual harassment of a student.

Ji Weiyuan, possessing a literary disposition, prided himself on his accurate judgement of character. Knowing and working with Peng Hongyuan for so many years, how could he not understand the kind of person Peng Hongyuan was?

Indeed, he had a foul temper, but he would never stoop to abusing students, and he was even more amicable towards students than to colleagues and leadership.

An utter workaholic, all his energy geared towards scientific research. His few students, each as diligent as the next, eagerly sought to achieve under his guidance. There was no need for any exploitation.

So dedicated to his research that he didn’t even consider marriage. There were endless introductions to potential partners, yet he never bothered to look at the photos of these women, resembling a monk devoid of desires.

How could such a person ever commit actions like sexual harassment or attempt to rape a student?

Ji Weiyuan didn’t believe the reports and marketing accounts accusing Peng Hongyuan; he trusted his own judgment of character.

Thus, after talking over the phone with Wu Anmin and discussing this matter, Wu Anmin immediately declared he would stand up to speak for Peng Hongyuan.

Ji Weiyuan radiated a vigorous and righteous aura as he spoke.

"Shengsheng, a mere child, dares to stand up for Old Peng in such a challenging situation."

"We, two old men over fifty, can’t sit idle and do nothing, can we?"

Upon learning about Peng Hongyuan’s predicament, Wu Anmin naturally could not just stand by idly and watch.

Therefore, at five o’clock in the afternoon, Ji Weiyuan used the Weibo account Ji Yan helped him register and verify to make a post.

[@Ji Weiyuan: I have known Old Peng for thirty to forty years, he is definitely not the person described in those reports. As for what those anonymous posts claim, I don’t believe them either.]

[And about Shengsheng, Old Peng has praised her countless times in front of me and Anmin, saying she is the most outstanding scientific research talent he has ever seen. It’s sad that her talent gets misrepresented as luring with offers, truly tragic!]

[Please stop the rumors, and wait for the truth to come out!]

Immediately after, it was Wu Anmin’s turn.

[@Wu Anmin: I and Weiyuan had just left when those photos were taken.]

[The meal was eaten with Weiyuan and Old Peng, we three went to Shengjing High School to offer Shengsheng a spot because she is a genius beyond anyone’s understanding.]

[Saying Old Peng suppresses colleagues, exploits and verbally abuses students, none of these matters have ever been raised at Beijing University, and the authenticity of those so-called evidence chat records is still uncertain.]

[I hope everyone pays close attention and is not misled by those with agendas.]

The students of Shengjing High School Class 3-A, Ji Weiyuan, Wu Anmin... all firmly assert that Lu Sheng is a genius.

A seventeen-year-old girl, is she really that extraordinary?

The facts prove, indeed she is!

No one expected that at six o’clock in the evening the official Weibo of FSI would also enter the fray, sending out their second Weibo post since establishing a presence in China.

No one expected that once this Weibo post was released, it immediately turned all the comments doubting and mocking Lu Sheng’s boasts into an outright face-slapping scene.

[@FSI World Core Journal:]

[Learning about the controversy caused by the author Lan Xing of our recently published paper "Progress and Prospects in Research on Acromegaly," we hereby solemnly declare that the author Lan Xing is a student from China’s Shengjing High School Class 3-A, @Lu Sheng.]

[In November last year, as soon as Lu Sheng’s paper was submitted, it received great attention from our committee. We assessed the value of the paper as first-class, and awarded the creator Lu Sheng a prize of 200,000 yuan and a custom-made souvenir.]

[Since the paper was submitted on behalf of Professor Peng Hongyuan from China, the money was transferred to Professor Peng’s account, and we asked him to forward it. The souvenir was made in the pseudonym "Lan Xing" used by Lu Sheng, a star ornament made of blue crystal.]

[Lu Sheng has been the youngest paper creator in the history of FSI since its establishment in 1980, an undoubted genius girl in the biomedical field. Her paper has made a significant contribution to the global research on acromegaly, greatly advancing the development of specific drugs for the disease.]

[We ask the vast number of netizens in China to stop using the name of FSI to publish any questions or insulting language towards Lu Sheng. For serious cases, we will pursue legal responsibilities on behalf of Lu Sheng.]

What the hell?

What the hell!

What the hell...

This Weibo post by FSI was met immediately with a top hot comment that went "What the hell" three times in a row.

Nothing says inner shock like the words "What the hell." Those trolls really couldn’t believe that what Lu Sheng posted on Weibo was all true.

She wasn’t boasting or pretending—she is the real deal Lan Xing, and it was officially confirmed by FSI themselves!

FSI, hey!

The core journal that gathers the most impressive research results from top scientists around the world says that a high school girl from China has made a significant contribution to the world—how is this not bringing glory to the country!

At this moment, everyone who previously looked down on Lu Sheng and maliciously commented on her felt their faces swell from the slap.

Only then did someone go back to look at the first report exposed by Jiang City Daily about Peng Hongyuan—

The second photo shows a girl with her face pixelated holding up the star made of blue crystal, looking up at it under sunlight.

Clicking on the original photo to enlarge, you can see two white English words on the bottom left of the star. Enlarging further reveals those two English words—[Blue Star]

It’s just that no one noticed it back then.

Not long after FSI’s Weibo post, that medical big V who first forwarded Lu Sheng’s Weibo quietly deleted their mocking post, pretending nothing happened.

But the internet also has a memory, and it wasn’t long before the comments section of this big V’s pinned tweet was overtaken by netizens who came to mock and ridicule the big V.

As for Lu Sheng’s own single Weibo post, many of the previously top malicious comments were sneakily deleted, showing just how guilty these trolls felt.

Seven in the evening.

On the Weibo trending list, aside from the morning’s trending topics #PengHongyuanAccusedOfAttemptedRape#, #LuShengLanXing#, and #PengHongyuanTakenAwayByPolice#, there are now many topics related to Lu Sheng.

#CandiedChestnuts#, #LuShengRejectsThreeProfessorSpecialAdmissionOffers#, #WhyStudyLaw#, #LuShengJiWeiyuan#, #LuShengWuAnmin#, ##Reversal!FSIConfirmsLuShengIsLanXing#, #FSIClaimsLuShengMadeHugeContributionsToWorld#...

The topic #GeniusGirlLuSheng# is directly exploding at number one on the trending list.

At this very moment, nine o’clock in the evening.

In the hotel room, Lan Yu and Lu Sheng almost finished sorting out their chat screenshots, Jiang Yusheng is still not awake, and she casually opens Weibo.

Seeing the trending list, Lan Yu’s eyes widen and she screams in excitement while holding her phone.
