1971 Something Happened, Everyone in the Research Institute Knows

Qiao Nian did not waste any time. She walked straight to Xu Yi and asked him, “Did something happen today?”

Xu Yi was speechless.

She didn’t hide it. “People stared at me as soon as I arrived at the research institute. They started chatting about something right after.

“Xu Yi, what happened?” Qiao Nian’s eyes were dark and bright, without any timidity.

Xu Yi’s tense heart finally relaxed. His tense back relaxed as he looked at her. He looked into the girl’s eyes and said concisely, “I only found out this morning. Ji Ziyin from Team 1 and the few people in charge of the research institute reported you. They said that the ‘super algorithm’ we displayed in the group assessment is plagiarism of a certain scientific big boss. This matter has spread widely in the research institute, and almost everyone knows about it now. The research institute hasn’t come to a conclusion yet, but the current situation is very disadvantageous to you…”

!!
Ji Ziyin had the Ji family behind her.

Qiao Nian was just an outsider. She couldn’t even be considered a person from the Independent Continent. How could she fight her?

Xu Yi clenched his fists.

If this had happened half a month ago, he might not have taken it to heart. The First Research Institute was like that.

It protected its inner circle and was xenophobic.

Members with backgrounds like Ji Ziyin could do whatever they wanted in the research institute. People without backgrounds like him and Shen Qingfeng could only be ostracized and suppressed.

This was the norm in the First Research Institute.

Qiao Nian wasn’t even from the Independent Continent. It didn’t matter if she was bullied.

He was not surprised at all.

However, after more than half a month of interaction, Xu Yi had long included Qiao Nian in his circle.

Therefore, when he came to the research institute this morning and heard the people around him gossip about Ji Ziyin reporting Qiao Nian for plagiarism, unknown anger rose in his heart. He had been suppressing his anger all morning.

Xu Yi let out a shaky breath and looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated gaze. He raised his hand and then lowered it halfway. He was uneasy and did not know how to comfort her. “Qiao Nian, don’t… don’t think too much. Things might not be as bad as we think.”

“Yes.”

Xue Zhu joined him at some point. She suppressed the anger between her eyebrows and said, “Anyway, we’re in the same group. I’ll always support you! We stayed up late to do experiments to achieve those results. What right do they have to say that we plagiarized?”

“Qiao Nian, I’ve found all the tapes of our experiments. If the research institute wants to investigate, I’ll hand these tapes to them,” Shen Qingfeng said as he pointed at a pile of tapes on the table.

Qiao Nian had never taken Ji Ziyin seriously.

People had been looking at her all morning.

She thought that something big had happened.

In the end, it was only Ji Ziyin reporting her.

After hearing what Xu Yi said, her eyes were filled with indifference. It was obvious that she did not take Ji Ziyin’s sudden attack to heart.

It was not until Xu Yi, Xue Zhu, and Shen Qingfeng stood up and surrounded her, choosing to advance and retreat with her that she was a little touched.

After figuring out what was going on, she put her hands in her pockets and stood casually. The corners of her lips curled up into a surly smile, and her eyes were wild.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Her tone was filled with certainty.
