After she finished playing the video in her phone, Georgia continued playing the sound recording.
Professor Lee and Aston’s eyes brightened.
“How did you get this?”
Professor asked curiously by the side.
“A friend of mine helped me.”
Georgia didn’t know how to describe Robert, so she could only introduce him as a friend.
But when she said it, Georgia felt a pang of sweetness in her heart.
“Since we have this two evidence, then let’s play it big, we will first let Percy feel proud of himself.”
Aston suggested by the side.
“How do we play?”
Georgia was curious as to what idea Aston had.
“Very simple, since Percy had already published his article on the nature magazine, they definitely are
looking forward to our response now. If we pretend that nothing happened, Percy and the rest would
definitely think that we are very confident, and they will start to question themselves. Now we have to
pretend that we are very frantic, conducting our experiments over long hours, it would be best if we can
pretend that we are very worried, and let them think that we have no more strategies, and think that
they have gotten what they want… Other than that, it would be best if we can let loose of news that MU
Research Institute would retreat and that we don’t dare to attend Percy’s seminar.”
“Aston, your suggestion is great. In this situation, we should let our enemies be full of themselves. It’s
Monday today, there’re ten days left to next Sunday, and Percy’s seminar is on that day. In these ten
days, we can continue to pretend together. Apart from the three of us, no one can disclose the truth.
Georgia, can you do this?”
Professor Lee asked Georgia. Of course Georgia would agree to it.
“Professor, don’t worry, I will act according to your plans. It’s just that my body condition is not too
good, and I can’t work overtime in the laboratory every day. Can we change this condition slightly?”
In the best interests of the baby in her tummy, Georgia felt that she shouldn’t work too hard.
In the past, she could work overtime, and only get off work at 10 p.m.
But now, Georgia felt that she should not do that anymore. Her priority was to take care of the baby in
her tummy.
“The strategy mentioned just now is not the only strategy. If you’re not feeling well now, we can change
to another one.”
Aston said by the side.
Professor pondered for a moment.
“Georgia, are you confident with yourself? Are there any incompletions or flaws in your current
experimental data and report that require you to repeatedly test them out?”
Georgia shook her head, actually she had already finished her experimental data report very well, and
what she had been doing during work recently was to explore new directions.
All these experimental data used to deal with Percy, she had already prepared them a long time ago.
“Professor, you’ve also seen my experimental report and data, there’s no problem with dealing with
Percy. I am not investigating new directions at work, just that my idea isn’t clear yet.”
“Since this is the case, then let’s put on a show. This magazine just came out today, Percy will definitely
be observing our reactions. Besides Anaya, we are not clear on whether there’re any other people in
the lab that has been bribed. Hence, this can only be made known to the three of us. Later, I will throw
a tantrum in the lab, then Georgia you will leave the office feeling wronged. If you’re not feeling well
then have a good rest for a few days… But everyone else will think that I am unhappy with you. Do you
understand?”
Georgia immediately understood Professor Lee’s meaning. She quickly nodded her head.
“Professor, don’t worry, I will act with you in this show.”
Actually Georgia also felt that she needed to rest for a while. The doctor had also said that her body
required taking care of. She would use this opportunity to rest for a while, it would be a good thing.
The three of them discussed the strategy for a while in the lab. Aston and Georgia walked out from the
office, and Aston’s face was dark, while Georgia’s face was dejected, looking depressed.
Returning to the office, everyone noticed that Aston’s and Georgia’s faces were looking different.
Aston straight away exclaimed in the office.
“Let’s meet immediately in the office, professor has already mentioned, he has something to say.”
Everyone felt weird. Aston’s face looked extremely cold, as if something big had happened.
Anaya also knew that the magazine had been published today. She had already been observing
Georgia’s and Aston’s expressions. Seeing Georgia’s dejected look, Anaya felt especially gleeful.
She knew that her own proposal would make Georgia lose out.
Now that she saw Aston’s cold look towards Georgia, Anaya felt even happier.
After about ten minutes, the group of ten plus people from the experimental team gathered in the lab.
Ernie didn’t even know the reason Professor Lee wanted to hold a meeting.
He sat by the side, after observing everyone, Ernie spoke to Professor Lee.
“Professor Lee, everyone’s here, should we start the meeting now?”
Professor Lee nodded his head. He suddenly slammed the table angrily, his face dark.
“What are you guys doing? Didn’t even realize that the CCTV in the lab has spoilt, and let others steal
our experimental data, what’s more none of you even realized. Are you all good-for-nothings?”
With Professor Lee’s words, then only everyone realized that such a serious incident had occurred.
Their internal experimental data had been leaked, everyone started discussing among themselves,
what do they do now?
Anaya was a little scared, she looked at Professor Lee tentatively, deeply worried that she would be
found out.
Professor Lee huffed coldly.
“From now on, everyone check among yourselves the experimental data. If there are any
abnormalities, report to me immediately. Also, at the end of the month, Professor Percy would be
having a seminar in Imperial University. None of you are allowed to take part then, so as to avoid
throwing MU’s face!”
Ernie asked curiously by the side.
“Professor, didn’t we already announce our challenge with Professor Percy last time? If we don’t go,
the whole industry will be laughing at us.”
Professor Lee looked at Ernie and started laughing mockingly.
“Do you think everyone is not laughing at us now? Percy had just released his thesis on the magazine,
that report had already shocked the people in the industry, our experiment thesis would not be able to
beat that.”
Finishing his words, Professor Lee looked at Georgia.
“Georgia, you can’t even take care of your own experimental data, what’s more you still want to come
to me and tell me that they were stolen. Where’s your evidence? From now on, get out of MU, all of us
at MU do not welcome you.”
Georgia lowered her head in dejection.
“Professor, I’m sorry, my experimental data had really been stolen, please believe me, give me a
chance…”
In front of everyone, Georgia looked like she was almost about to cry. But Professor Lee did not spare
her.
“Even if it was stolen, don’t you know to keep your experimental data a secret? Don’t you even have
this basic knowledge of keeping a secret? Since this is the case, what other use do you have? Pack
your things immediately and get out of MU!”
Professor Lee’s voice was cold and hard, leaving absolutely no space for negotiation.
Georgia stood up unwillingly, and walked out of the office slowly.
Following that, Professor Lee spoke to everyone coldly.
“From now on, all of you work extra hours, if we can’t see any results by the end of this month, I will fire
the bottom three. Don’t think I won’t do that.”
Finishing his words, Professor Lee said to Aston.
“You better work hard these few days, if you can come up with new results by the end of this month,
then MU won’t lose its face, do you understand?”
Aston nodded. After a moment, Professor Lee criticized the team again.
After that, everyone dismissed.
Georgia was packing her things in the office at that moment, and everyone didn’t dare to go speak to
her.
They originally already had opinions regarding Georgia’s past, now that Georgia was chased out by
Professor, no one would sweet talk her.
Anaya looked at Georgia’s tragic situation. She crossed her arms, and walked over gleefully in front of
Georgia.
“I already told you before this, don’t get too proud of yourself, look, this day has come for you!”
Anaya laughed mockingly. Georgia lowered her head in silence, looking extremely down.
“In the future, make sure you never come back to MU, do you understand? Since you became our
colleague in MU, we have always gotten laughed at by people outside. Now that Professor has chased
you out, you can finally get out from my sight.”
Finishing her words, Anaya shouted at the people in the office.
“Everyone, this useless person Georgia has been chased out, isn’t this such a happy occasion? Should
we applaud her leaving?”
Finishing her words, Anaya started clapping her hands in front of everyone.
Slowly, everyone that hated Georgia started following Anaya’s claps.
Georgia had always been thought of as relying on her network, added with her reputation of plagiarism,
there were actually many people who hated her.
After a while, there were more than ten people who walked over to clap their hands, their eyes were
filled with a mocking laugh.
Anaya felt very satisfied with the current situation.
Georgia didn’t say anything, she carried the box that she had finished packing, and left silently.
This made Anaya feel slightly unhappy, she had wanted Georgia to raise her head and speak to her.
But, this woman was so shocked that she didn’t dare to say anything, this made her feel that she had
no sense of accomplishment.
After leaving MU, Georgia immediately called a taxi and got on it.
After that, her dejected face could finally loosen up.
After acting for so long, she had almost spoilt everything.
Especially when she had to endure Anaya’s provocation. Luckily she hadn’t disclosed a smile, if not
she would have exposed herself.
Thinking of that, Georgia picked up her phone and called Vanessa.
“Vanessa, are you home now? I’m coming over now.”
“Isn’t this your working hours? Annie is having her afternoon nap, why are you back now? Did anything
happen?”
Vanessa’s concerned voice rang out through the phone, Georgia smiled and shook her head.
“I’m fine, just a small incident, I don’t have to go to work at the moment, you don’t have to worry, I was
not fired. I’ll tell you more when I’m back.”
Georgia had initially thought that she would reach home safely, but halfway, just when they had
reached the city centre, the car wheel spoilt. Georgia could only get off the car, and get ready to find
another one.
She waited at the sidewalk, but for a long time no taxi came by.
This was the city centre, it was indeed hard to catch a taxi. Georgia was getting ready to use Didi to get
a car. But suddenly in front of her appeared a familiar person.
