Chapter 17: Young Lady of a Prestigious Family (16)

Ye Ke had spent two years at University Beijing, during which she had received countless awards for the software she developed. Coupled with her status as the nation’s beloved sister on the internet, her popularity in Imperial City surpassed Ye Shaohua’s by an unknown multitude.

They naturally sided with Ye Ke on this matter.

“I heard that’s Ye Ke’s elder sister. Hard to believe, I admired her as Ye Shen without even knowing, and I blindly worshipped her.”

“Feud in a wealthy family. Ye Ke is too smart; not only does she have a high talent in computing, but her financial aptitude is also high. The Ye Family has given everything to Ye Ke, so you know…”

“Damn!” Upon hearing these words, Gu Jingyan couldn’t help but let out an expletive.

As a man of the business world, he, of course, understood the darkness between human relationships, but he hadn’t expected Ye Shaohua to encounter such an issue.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Ye Shaohua; he believed in her, especially when he saw the people standing behind Ye Ke, Gu Jingyan felt even more aggrieved and angry on behalf of Ye Shaohua.

“Ye Shaohua, I’ve already called Stanford—someone like you with such poor conduct doesn’t deserve to stay in the lab, and our University Beijing won’t keep you either.” The speaker was Ye Ke’s mentor.

Upon hearing his student talk about the incident, he had already believed Ye Ke, and the other university leaders had no objections to this matter.

Ye Shaohua still held her phone in hand, her expression as calm as ever, no different from when she spoke on stage earlier, “I, Ye Shaohua, have always been open and aboveboard. For this software, I have taken notes from beginning to end, Principal, Director, you can verify this.”

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, and one couldn’t detect a hint of panic.

Upon hearing these words, Fu Jiachen, who stood beside Ye Ke, said with a mocking tone, “Verification is unnecessary. Who doesn’t know that Ake is now the person in charge of the Ye Family? Who knows if you’re just jealous of her? This matter cannot be easily settled. Stanford will respond shortly, and I believe they will deliver justice to Ake.”

“Justice?” It was at this moment that a cool voice suddenly came from outside, and with that voice, everyone felt as if the air pressure around them had dropped significantly, “What justice?”

Seeing the newcomer, the previously aggressive Principal immediately hesitated, “Third Young Master?”

When the academician standing beside Ye Shaohua saw who it was, his eyes lit up. While others might not know, he was very clear that Gu Jingyun had a deep relationship with Ye Shaohua. He was sure that Ye Shaohua would not be wronged in today’s affair.

On the way here, Gu Jingyan had shared all the details with Gu Jingyun, so Gu Jingyun was well aware of everything that had happened. His dark eyes were deep, and though his expression was gentle, the sternness between his brows could not be ignored.

“It’s like this; an incident of plagiarism has occurred in our laboratory, which is quite embarrassing to speak of. One of the individuals is even from Stanford University.” The Principal spoke hesitantly, explaining the situation.

Gu Jingyun was not someone he dared to offend; in fact, the national laboratory of their computer science department owed its success to Gu Jingyun’s contributions.

Moreover, the Principal knew of Gu Jingyun’s other status in the country, not to mention he was also the successor of the Gu Family.

For these reasons alone, he did not dare to disrespect Gu Jingyun.

It was manageable without mentioning Ye Shaohua, but once she was brought up, Gu Jingyun slightly turned, looked at the Principal, and was just about to say something when Ye Shaohua patted his shoulder.

The two shared a tacit understanding. Ye Shaohua wanted to resolve the matter herself.

“This is the notebook I discussed with the academician,” Ye Shaohua took out a notebook from the drawer of her dedicated lab desk and threw it on the table, “The academician can testify to this point.”

Hearing this, Ye Ke gave Ye Shaohua a glance, with an expression as if she was infuriated.

One of the students standing beside Ye Ke, who had an extreme personality, sneered upon hearing this, “You were merely made an exchange student through some method by the academician, who knows what secrets lie between you two? Furthermore, that notebook is clearly Ake’s, how dare you bring it out?”

“Stop right there, I’m not even a student of University Beijing,” Ye Shaohua said with a light smile, “Staying in this lab is of no consequence to me.”

“Shaohua!” Hearing Ye Shaohua’s intention to leave, the academician was greatly alarmed.

Relief finally settled in the Principal’s heart upon hearing Ye Shaohua’s intention to leave. Ye Shaohua had had a fallout with Ye Ke, indicating that only one of them could remain. Compared to Ye Shaohua, he naturally wanted to keep Ye Ke.

Not to mention Ye Ke’s ability to produce such advanced software, but it was also because of the Ye Family backing her.

Yet, when he heard what the academician said, the Principal frowned, “Academician, she’s just an exchange student. If she’s done something like this, then leaving is for the best… ”

For someone like Ye Shaohua with poor conduct to take the initiative to leave was the best outcome.

“Principal!” the academician shouted loudly, cutting off the Principal’s words. This was the first time he showed such anger.

The Principal was somewhat stunned.

“Principal, Director, you don’t need to argue over this,” Fu Jiachen looked at Ye Shaohua and said coldly: “Let’s not talk about leaving yet. Now we need to address the theft. Ye Shaohua, you stole Ake’s notes and used the ideas as your own. You have to admit to that, don’t you?”

The others too, were righteously defending Ye Ke. Should the outside world find out that their lab had someone like Ye Shaohua, which secret organization would want to recruit their talents?

Ye Shaohua was already impatient, and upon hearing the words of Fu Jiachen and others, she spoke directly, “From a young age, I have had a photographic memory. If I really wanted to steal Ye Ke’s ideas, why would I need to take her notebook? Wouldn’t I have memorized it all at a glance? And then leave the notebook in the drawer as evidence for you? Am I that foolish? Stop, academician, please don’t speak for now—”

Ye Shaohua made a pause gesture with her hand, then turned to Ye Ke and continued with a smile: “To tell you the truth, although I created this Star Network software, I really don’t value it, because it was my first failed project. The truly successful Star Network software I only finished last night.”

Upon hearing Ye Shaohua’s words, Ye Ke’s face drastically changed, “Impossible, you’re lying!”

“If I’m lying, don’t you know in your heart?” Ye Shaohua glanced at Ye Ke’s panicked expression and sat in front of the computer. She opened the software programming interface, talking to the people in the lab while typing on the keyboard.

In the course of speaking, she had input the complete Star Network software.

Everyone present had knowledge in computing and could tell she wasn’t lying by looking at the software Ye Shaohua coded.

Ye Ke stepped back, her last shred of hope gone, and the sense of superiority she held as a reborn person, who had always been high above, dissipated in an instant.

After Ye Shaohua hit the Enter key, she leaned her hands on the desk, slightly turning to look at the Principal and others. Seeing the Principal’s shocked and embarrassed expression, her beautiful eyes narrowed, “You say I stole Ye Ke’s design, Principal, do you think that, with my capabilities, I would covet her work?”

Her words were exceedingly arrogant, but not a single person thought she was wrong.

The entire lab fell into silence until the lab’s phone rang.

Since the phone call was both urgent and vigorous, whoever was closest to the phone pressed the speaker button. The caller claimed to be the Principal of Stanford, speaking in awkward Chinese, “Is this University Beijing Laboratory? We’ve heard that you intend to send Ye student back to us. We fully support this and have already dispatched a private jet to pick her up. It will arrive in five hours!”
