Chapter 453
“Weng.”
As soon as those words were spoken, Song Nuan and Qin Bing only felt a buzzing in their heads, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
If Lin Ran had already spoken, then it would have been fine, at least he would have had a chance to argue, but now he was being labeled as a plagiarist without even going on stage, and if the judge directly ruled that Lin Ran had plagiarized, then he really wouldn’t have a chance at all.
“This student, do you have something to say?”
The white-haired expert looked at Lin Ran and opened his mouth to ask.
“Yes!”
Lin Ran smiled at his words and got up, before sweeping his gaze over the crowd and speaking.
“Everyone, firstly I’m sorry for turning your exchange into this, and secondly I’m also Avray sorry for Mr. Song Yuntian, to follow through with his mistake, at least there’s still some courage!”
“Haha!”
At these words, so people couldn’t help but laugh, it was obvious that Lin Ran was refuting him.
“Sharp teeth, I have ample evidence to prove that you are plagiarizing!”
Song Yuntian chided.
“Fine, then please submit your evidence to the judges, if after you finish your speech again, the judges still think I am plagiarising, then I will accept whatever the result is!”
Lin Ran said indifferently.
“That’s what you said!”
Song Yuntian instantly came to life at his words and walked straight to the judges’ table, before whispering something to a few expert judges before returning to the lectern again.
“Alright everyone, after our deliberations, we will finalise the case of Lin Ran’s plagiarism, and the results will be announced after Song Yuntian has finished his speech!”
“Now first, I would like to invite student Song Yuntian to speak!”
As the expert’s voice fell, the scene fell silent, but the apparent silence could not conceal the surging in the dark.
Everyone in the room cast their eyes in Lin Ran’s direction from time to time, wanting to see if this unlucky kid who had been reported would take advantage of the opportunity to slip away.
There were even some who made direct gestures of contempt at Lin Ran, as if they had already concluded that he was the copycat mixer.
“What to do! What do we do now!”
In the distance, Qin Bing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, completely helpless.
“Don’t be anxious, it’s useless to be anxious now, don’t you see he’s sitting there motionless, obviously very confident!”
Song Nuan said with a forced smile.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ran, who was sitting on the spot, stood up. This scene immediately drew the attention of everyone in the arena, especially Song Yuntian on the stage, who stopped his speech and looked straight at him with teasing and mockery on his face.
At this moment, almost everyone in the arena was expecting Song Yuntian to finish his speech and listen to the expert judges’ decision on Lin Ran’s plagiarism.
And at this moment, Lin Ran suddenly stood up, so it was obvious that something was going to happen.
“What? You can’t wait to run away?”
Song Yuntian sneered from the stage, as if he could already see victory beckoning towards him.
“Are you in a hurry?”
Lin Ran looked at him and said blandly.
“There’s no rush, a good meal isn’t afraid of being late, a plagiarising liar will eventually be exposed!”
Song Yuntian sneered.
Lin Ran, however, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the door, while this movement of his caused an uproar, almost all of them were clear to talk about how he was really a liar.
“What, this is ready to run away? Plagiarising fellow student Lin Ran?”
Song Yuntian sneered from the stage.
“Student Lin Ran, if you leave the stage now, we will directly judge you as a plagiarist and publish this matter within the Chinese Medicine association!”
The white-haired expert spoke up.
He had not read Lin Ran’s speech, but he knew the latter’s character very well, and would never do such a thing as plagiarism.
However, the current situation was that everyone had already taken Lin Ran as a plagiarist, and if this matter was not handled properly, it would definitely ruin him directly.
“If I really can’t, I’ll go out on a limb!”
Dean Yang thought in his mind, even Qin Bing and Song Nuan were making the worst possible plans, they didn’t want to watch Lin Ran being ruined just like that.
And, just when everyone was almost certain to conclude that Lin Ran was the plagiarist, the guy suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at the classmate who was blocking the way in front of him and laughed.
“Classmate please move over, I need to use the toilet!”
“Wow!”
At once everyone in the field was quiet, even the white-haired expert was speechless.
To stand up at this moment, just to go to the toilet, this was simply too childish.
“Student Lin Ran, are you really just going to the toilet?”
The white-haired expert busily asked.
“What else would the expert think I was going to do? A three-hour meeting, a toilet break is not excessive!”
Lin Ran asked with a smile.
“Not too much!”
The white-haired expert said awkwardly, in fact this was the norm, it was normal for someone to go to the toilet in the middle of a meeting that was too long.
“I don’t believe it!”
On the stage, Song Yuntian, however, suddenly spoke up.
“If you don’t go to the toilet at this time, I think you are just weak-minded and want to leave!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can come along!”
Lin Ran smiled back, and everyone laughed as soon as these words left his mouth.
However, Lin Ran was continuing to say.
“Of course, if you don’t want to continue speaking, honestly you are simply wasting my time with this speech!”
After saying that, Lin Ran walked out of the meeting room without even turning his head.
Song Yunwen was so blue in the face that he was on the verge of fury. He had originally wanted to suppress Lin Ran properly, so he went on stage and directly said that Lin Ran had plagiarised.
But who would have thought that he would end up lifting a stone and smashing his own feet, making his normal speech barely complete, and his otherwise brilliant content so muddled that almost no one would remember what he said.
“I won’t say any more, I’m going to wait for a result now!”
Song Yunhui was so surprised that he jumped straight off the stage and went straight back to his seat.
The room fell silent, so all eyes fell on him, if Lin Ran really ran away, it would actually be a lose-lose situation, at least his Song Yuntian’s speech had been completely ruined.
However, these people were disappointed after all, after just a few minutes, Lin Ran appeared at the entrance of the conference room again, following straight to the speaker’s platform.
“Expert judges, if you haven’t deliberated on the results yet, I can speak first and then wait for you to announce the results, after all, this empty arena is indeed not a good look!”
Lin Ran laughed.
These words immediately caused everyone to laugh out loud, this guy had been branded as a plagiarist, but he didn’t expect to be so calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with them at all.
The white-haired expert was a little hesitant at his words, it was true that they had not yet found full proof that Lin Ran was a plagiarist.
Likewise, it would be too awkward for the exchange meeting to go on without anyone speaking.
Thinking of this, the white-haired expert spoke up immediately.
“Yes, in view of student Song Yuntian’s automatic abandonment, the results of the plagiarism investigation for student Lin Ran will be announced after the latter has finished speaking!”
With that said, the white-haired expert said no more words and worked on it together with the other few judges.
Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction, then looked to the crowd and smiled.
“Everyone, please cooperate with me when I speak next, I thought I was a plagiarist, so you can all feel free to listen to what I’m saying and where exactly I’m plagiarising! There is a prize for those who can find out!”
Chapter 454
“Haha.”
Lin Ran’s humorous words immediately caused the people present to laugh out loud, Song Nuan and Qin Bing were naturally no exception, but the two were helplessly laughing bitterly.
“This guy, he actually has the heart to joke about it even at this point!”
Qin Bing couldn’t help but say.
Song Nuan smiled at this but laughed.
“You still don’t know him, the more confident he is, the more he likes to stink, this guy definitely has a way to deal with it, otherwise he definitely wouldn’t have such an expression!”
“I hope so!”
Qin Bing nodded at his words, but he was still a little worried in his heart.
On the other hand, Li Zheng hadn’t said anything since the beginning, only that he couldn’t help but get nervous when Lin Ran started to speak about his own content.
Everyone in the room was curious as to whether Lin Ran was the plagiarist or not, so when the latter was speaking, the whole room was surprisingly quiet, not a single person opened their mouths to interrupt, and everyone listened attentively, or consulted the information, trying to find out the part of it that was suspected of plagiarism.
“It’s not right! It’s not right!”
Li Zheng, who had not spoken up, suddenly changed his face and spoke up, and at the same time, he took out his mobile phone and started to search the Internet.
And it didn’t take long for his action to appear, it was as if it had triggered a plague, many people in the entire arena actually took out their mobile phones or tablets and anything else that could access the internet and started to look it up.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran couldn’t help but be taken aback as well, but then continued with his speech.
“What the hell is going on?”
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Bing hurriedly asked Li Zheng who was next to him, at this moment the guy was frantically searching for something with his phone.
“This piece that the boss is speaking on, I once read it on the internet!”
Li Zheng turned his head to look at the two men with worry on his face.
“What?”
Song Nuan and Qin Bing froze even more at the sound of their words, and then they also took out their phones and started searching for it according to the connection Li Zheng provided.
In their impressions, Lin Ran was an unassuming image, he was from a low background but had made it this far with his talent and luck, so he didn’t seem like someone who could do something like plagiarism in any case.
Even if Dean Yang gave him a short time, but he had every reason to refuse directly, there is no need to copy an article to take out, this is simply a self-destructive move, especially when this meeting in front of him is also the meeting of the Chinese medicine community, if once something goes wrong, I am afraid that his life will be completely finished.
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”
Qin Bing was very worried and said in a broken voice while searching for the manuscript.
However, reality finally dealt her a heavy blow, and soon she found the article with the help of Li Zheng, and the similarity to the one Lin Ran was speaking was actually over eighty percent.
“How could this be?”
Qin Bing’s entire body was like a deflated ball, directly confiding in her chair, she couldn’t believe the content on her phone, that Lin Ran would actually go and copy it.
“Xiao Nuan, what now!”
Qin Bing was so anxious that she was busy looking at Song Nuan and asked.
However, Song Nuan did not have much of a fluctuating expression and patted her to console her.
“I still believe in Lin Ran, you know his character very well, he would never do such a thing, there must be some kind of misunderstanding, just wait for him to explain himself at ease!”
Song Nuan spoke up.
“But …..”
Qin Bing smiled but was still worried, but at this time worrying could not do anything at all, she could only pray that there was really some kind of misunderstanding, otherwise if Lin Ran was really finished, then where should she go ….
At the same time, she also found a problem, herself and Song Nuan a comparison, it seems to Lin Ran’s confidence in the latter completely not enough.
Even at this point Song Nuan still chose to believe in Lin Ran, but she herself was a little shaken.
“Why should I be afraid? Do I really not believe in Lin Ran?”
Qin Bing asked herself, she was indeed worried, but what could this mean, perhaps it was just caused by the different personalities of each person, it didn’t mean that she didn’t like him because she didn’t trust him.
“Maybe, I’m just afraid of losing him!”
Qin Bing suddenly felt a few moments clearer in her mind, and it was at this point that for the first time in her mind, she was not so nervous about Lin Ran this time.
So what if it was plagiarism, she liked him, not this essay, so she could just help him correct it.
As he was thinking, Lin Ran suddenly stopped speaking on stage and looked at the crowd and smiled.
“My speech is over, now if you and the expert judges have any questions, please speak!”
“Wow!”
At once everyone raised their mobile phones and looked at Lin Ran, the answer was clearly crying out to be answered, almost everyone had found the model text of Lin Ran’s speech, the hat of plagiarism was afraid to be sat on.
“Lin Ran I really admire you, so calm even now, I really don’t know whether I should say you have thick skin or shameless!”
Song Yuntian stood up and laughed in a Lang voice, he had been holding back just now, waiting for this chance, this chance to defeat Lin Ran completely.
“Student Lin Ran, according to the information provided by student Song Yuntian, we did find the scope online, how do you explain this?”
The white-haired professor looked at Lin Ran and asked.
“Can finding the scope prove that I plagiarised?”
Lin Ran asked rhetorically, his face still calm.
“You won’t die until you reach the Yellow River, this article you’re speaking on was first published two years ago by an ID named “Learning Changes Destiny” via computer.”
“This article is very wonderful, many people have read it back then, I really don’t know whether to call you stupid or foolish, wouldn’t you find a non-hot article to copy? You really don’t want to live long enough to copy this kind of article!”
Song Yunlong sneered.
“Student Lin Ran, do you have anything to say now?”
The white-haired expert looked at Lin Ran and added.
“Nothing to say, I’m not plagiarising!”
Lin Ran swept his gaze across the crowd and said blandly.
“The evidence is overwhelming, and you still don’t admit it, want some face!”
Song Yunhui was furious, things had come to this point, and Lin Ran actually still didn’t admit it, this was simply too shameless.
“Student Lin Ran, you don’t admit that you plagiarized, then can you explain the situation now? Why is the similarity between your speech and this one online at eighty percent?”
The white-clothed expert asked after him.
Lin Ran swept his gaze over the crowd, looking at their expressions of either contempt, disdain, sympathy and gloating, and shook his head helplessly before saying.
“I would like to ask everyone, is a speech that one has published before considered plagiarism?”
“Wow!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately dumbfounded, especially the white-haired professor Song Yuntian as well as Song Nuan, Qin Bing and Li Zheng, who were almost each frozen on the spot.
Some of them even dropped their teacups on the ground with a bang.
Lin Ran looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Song Yuntian’s face as he smiled and asked.
“Song Yuntian, is it considered plagiarism to give a speech about an article that you have published before?”
“I …..”
Song Yuntian’s mouth was speechless, he simply had no words to say.
Lin Ran laughed at the situation and said.
“I’m sorry for your concern, this article was posted when I was a junior at Tamkang University, and “Learning Changes Destiny” was my pen name at that time!”
“Do you still have doubts? Am I still a plagiarist? Or do you think that I am plagiarising myself?”
