When Qin Mucheng heard this, he looked curious, “Oh? What do you mean?” Ji Yuanyuan relayed what Wu Qiuyun told her in the laboratory to Qin Mucheng.
I feel that Teacher Wu definitely knows something, but it’s not good to say it out loud. Therefore, I still want to remind you that if Lin Nan and the others in Sheng He are interested in working with Zhou Hua, you shouldn’t go against them. You can focus on investigating if Zhou Hua has any academic flaws.” Qin Mucheng smiled when he heard that, “Madam Qin, you’re brilliant. I’ll do as you say.”
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her belly and rolled her eyes, “Come on, did you see the video I sent you?”
She asked him to go back in the afternoon to take a look, but why was there no response?
Qjn Mucheng hurriedly said, “I’ve seen it. As expected of my daughter. She’s really amazing.”
“How do you know it’s a daughter?” Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
“After I came out of Zhou Hua’s laboratory, I watched it together with Lin Nan.” Qin Mucheng smiled.
Lin Nan was also a medical student. Although she had joined her family’s company after graduation, she had never stopped studying. She often looked through her postgraduate textbooks or notes. After photocopying them, she would go home and study on her own.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan was not surprised.
“Then, do you think we should tell Dad, Mom, and Grandpa?” Ji Yuanyuan asked hesitantly.
It had been half a year since she found out about her pregnancy.
Even Ji Zixuan was curious about the child’s gender, let alone the Qjn family elders.
Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei were almost 27 years old but were still in their fourth year of master’s and Ph.D. studies. They still needed another year and a half to graduate.
Therefore, the two of them had no intention of having children yet.
However, given their age, many of their peers were already married and had children.
She had attended several of the children’s one-month-old banquets.
Naturally, she longed for children.
Since she could not give birth for the time being, she placed all her hopes on the child in Ji Yuanyuan’s stomach.
Ever since Ji Yuanyuan became pregnant, a large portion of Ji Zoxuan and Huang Weiwei’s Ph.D. student allowance had been spent on this unborn child. Even Yang Jingyi, Fang Xinyi, and Lin Nan, his good friends, would occasionally buy a few clothes and milk bottles for her, much less her big brothers.
In addition, great-grandfathers, grandparents, grandparents, and parents bought it.
This little princess had already owned a house full of clothes before she was even born.
Ji Yuanyuan was worried when she thought of these clothes.
Children grew up quickly. Even if she had to change her clothes every day, she would not be able to wear them all.
Some of the clothes probably couldn’t be worn even before it was time. At the thought of this, before Qjn Mucheng could reply, Ji Yuanyuan quickly shook her head and denied her own thoughts, “Forget it, forget it. It’s better not to tell them.”
They could still control themselves when they bought things without knowing her gender. If they knew her gender, wouldn’t they have no qualms when they bought things?
It wasn’t that she felt bad about the money, but she felt it was too wasteful. Children grew up quickly when they were young, so they didn’t need to buy too many clothes.
Qin Mucheng naturally listened to Ji Yuanyuan.
If Ji Yuanyuan said not to tell, then he wouldn’t tell.
Knowing that Ji Yuanyuan had gone for a prenatal checkup today, Cheng Shuqin could not help but ask a few questions after she got home.
However, Ji Yuanyuan only claimed that the child’s position was not good and that she could not tell the gender, so she gave him an excuse.
Cheng Shuqin did not feel disappointed.
It didn’t matter whether it was a man or a woman. She liked them all.
No one asked further, and Ji Yuanyuan was happy and at ease.
On the 13th of December, Ji Yuanyuan took a break.
The mam reason was that Wu Qiuyun still planned to go to Tibet for free medical treatment during this holiday, so she was given a few more days off. Ji Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed.
Her due date was two months away.
After the winter break, she would give birth in less than two months in school. Although she had promised not to delay the progress of Wu Qiuyun’s research project.
However, she still had to do her confinement.
She could do a lot of work at home but couldn’t take care of many things in the laboratory.
Speaking of which, she didn’t grasp the timing of her pregnancy well.
It would be great if the confinement period happened during the winter or summer vacation. It would be perfect.
However, no one could be sure of the exact time of pregnancy.
After entering the winter break, Ji Yuanyuan stayed at home to rest.
Her seven-month-old belly was already hurting her waist.
Moreover, as the child grew older, she also had many problems.
Her pubis would hurt inexplicably, her whole body would start to swell, and she would frequent her urine so much that she had to go to the toilet several times a night…
Qin Mucheng could not help much with such matters. He could only help Ji Yuanyuan walk around the courtyard twice every night after dinner.
Before she went to bed, he helped her soak her feet and massaged them.
Even so, Ji Yuanyuan was content.
The days at home were always very comfortable.
It was so comfortable that Ji Yuanyuan’s mind began to empty.
She had completely forgotten about Zhou Hua.
It was only this morning when Qin Mucheng called back.
Zhou Hua is indeed problematic.”
The drowsy Ji Yuanyuan woke up immediately.
Yes, there was still Zhou Hua.
She pretended that she had not forgotten about it and asked casually, “Is there a problem?”
“I got someone to investigate Zhou Hua in detail and found out that five years ago, one of his students committed suicide.”
“Is it related to him?” Ji Yuanyuan guessed it immediately.
“Yes, he committed suicide on the eve of graduation. In order to protect their reputation, the school suppressed this matter. Of the student’s three roommates, two were recommended for a PhD, and one was admitted to the First Hospital.” Qin Mucheng said softly, “There’s something wrong with this, so I got someone to investigate it further.”
“What did you find?”
“That student committed suicide because of a thesis. It was said that he insisted that he had completed the thesis independently and that he should be at least a second author. But in the end, when the thesis was published, Zhou Hua was an independent author.”
Ji Yuanyuan frowned and asked, “Is that thesis very important?”
“That thesis was included in SCI. You should know how important it is for a thesis to be included in SCI.”
SCI© was recognized by the whole world. Being able to publish a thesis on it was something that many people dreamed of.
The most important thing was that a thesis that could be published on SCI was very valuable. In the future, whether it was a promotion, a raise, or a professional title, it would be of great use.
Ji Yuanyuan did not speak for a long time after hearing that.
She thought that if that were the only reason, the student would not have committed suicide.
