I learned long ago that human nature is the dirtiest of things.

Simply being nice to a person does not necessarily reap gratitude, but may also be resentment.

It's ridiculous to say that when I was young, I treated others with a layer of isolation, indifference and eccentricity, but when I grew up, I actually integrated into the group, treated others with enthusiasm, and had a little kindness towards strangers.

Thinking about the reason, I can only say that Zhao Xing raised me with all his heart these years. I wandered in the world of academics. I didn’t touch vulgar things, and I didn’t see darkness. So much so that the cold heart was warmed up a bit.

Although I often "ravage" students, I treat them like juniors and support them on the right path of scientific research, while worrying that they will not have enough food and clothing.

Although I can't quite appreciate the scientific research talents of my colleagues, I recognize their seriousness and hard work, and I can't understand how they spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of scientific research expenses day and night. I don’t think they are my friends, but I always think they are my fellow travelers.

Now I was stabbed by my fellow traveler and my student. Even though I have always been hard-hearted, it is somewhat sad.

In addition to being sad, I also laughed at myself, mocking myself that I should not get out of my shell, nor should I believe that "human nature is good" and that there are still more good people in this world.

Even Zhao Xing, a good old man, can deceive me and hurt me in the blink of an eye.

I have no reason to believe that the little kindness I give will not become a knife in the hands of others and directly stab into my heart.

I left the office of the investigation team and returned to the research institute where I was. The eyes of the students did not change when they saw me, but the eyes of the staff of the research institute were more or less evasive. I went upstairs directly. He went straight to the dean's office, only to learn that he had asked for annual leave and had already gone on vacation.

The leaders of several courtyards that I have been friends with in the past are also absent, and they each find a reason that seems to be nothing unusual, but they are not here, and they have already expressed their attitude-they will not protect me, and there is a high probability that they will make trouble .

The inspection team has found so many problems, and the relationship behind everyone is in operation. At this time, it is necessary to launch a lamb and concentrate all the firepower on him, so that everyone else is safe.

Unfortunately, I became this lamb this time.

I didn't resent them too much. To put it bluntly, they treated me very well in the past, which was somewhat of a face to Zhao Xing.Now that Zhao Xing and I are divorced, it's human nature to leave the tea to cool off.

But it is absolutely impossible for me to accept this scapegoat and allow others to smear me. My foundation in academia is still shallow, but it does not prevent me from having my own contacts and relationships.

Although I did not expect such a false accusation today, I am willing to believe in the rigorous investigation and the fairness of the law.

Even without Zhao Xing, I am still Cui Minglang, my brain is my weapon.

After a long absence, I held a group meeting and invited all teachers who shared my research funding and students related to my project to attend the meeting. Some people came and some people left, but none of the students under my name was missing.

I briefly talked about how I cooperated with the investigation today, and I also said that someone forged evidence to frame me. I didn't pay attention to everyone's expressions, and I didn't give them too many opportunities to speak. I directly stated my decision.

"I'm not sure how long this investigation will last, and I'm not sure whether it will take judicial channels in the later stage. I still have ten doctoral students and fifteen master's students under my name. Taking advantage of the meeting today, you teachers and students Communicate more, and be prepared to change tutors as soon as I enter. Of course, I won’t let you help me guide students for nothing. The projects under my name will follow the students. The money will be shared with you. No matter how stupid the students are, To trouble you, pull them to graduate."

"If someone asks you what kind of person I am, just tell the truth, and there is no need to say anything good about me against my will. I was arrogant in the past, and I don't plan to change in the future. If I offend or hurt you, tell me in advance. Say sorry."

"Thank you for coming today, really thank you."

After I finished speaking, the teachers and students in the conference room looked at me differently than before. Listening to their words with concern, I also felt a little comforted that "the world is not that bad".

After dealing with the important matters, I left the research institute and started contacting various parties in the car—well-known scholars, senior media professionals, and lawyers with deep backgrounds...

I started to spend money in an orderly manner, and just at this time, I received another courier from an unknown source.

Before opening the package, I wondered if it might be another photo of Zhao Xing messing around.

But for the same method, it is novel to do it once, and it is incompetent to do it twice. I don’t think the black hands behind the scenes will send me the same type of photos again.

It is true that the courier is not a photo, but a pile of bills, which have recorded in detail the various projects that Zhao Xing has sponsored me over the years. Negative impact.

The matter of using power for personal gain can be big or small, and power depends on whether public opinion is fermented and what shareholders think.

So I knew that someone was warning me that if I seek Zhao Xing's help, he would not mind eating a piece of Zhao Xing's body.

But this person really doesn't know me very well. I didn't intend to ask Zhao Xing to help me. After all, this matter is my business. With this courier, I must talk to Zhao Xing.

The bill is an invisible bomb, and I believe that Zhao Xing can find a way to settle this matter.

I raised my phone and took photos one by one to Zhao Xing. I sent dozens of photos, but Zhao Xing never replied.

I picked up a coin, tossed it up, and caught it in the palm of my hand—the coin was head-up, so I called Zhao Xing with peace of mind, and waited for four or five times before he answered.

I heard some noise on his side, so I asked him directly: "Are you playing with someone?"

Zhao Xing took a deep breath, and he said, "Take off your trousers, just before the door, your call is coming."

I leaned back and leaned on the soft sofa, but I was not angry, I just told him: "Someone stole your account, and a kind person reminded me, do you want to deal with it urgently?"

Zhao Xing scolded "grass", and he said, "Did you send me a message?"

"Well, I sent it. It's too noisy on your side, so I probably didn't hear it."

"I'll take care of it now, are you okay?"

"fine."

"I'm not stupid."

Zhao Xing cursed a few times in a low voice, and the surrounding noise gradually became quieter. I held my phone and listened to his cursing voice, feeling inexplicably at ease.

The relationship between people is really wonderful, no matter how cold-hearted and cold-hearted, they will be subtly changed. I made Zhao Xing into a crazy critic, but Zhao Xing made me a little bit dependent.

Even though so many things have happened, there is only Zhao Xing in this world who can relax my nerves and deliver something.

When he knew that I was in trouble, I felt a little more relaxed, as if I was sure that Zhao Xing would help me a lot, and I was no longer alone.
