Chapter 20 — People Whose Achievements Are Stolen

She's gone. I put my gloves back on and returned to the lab table. The exhaust fan in the fume hood makes a loud noise. Suck out the heavy air in the room. The news of Ha Uyen Thanh returning to the hospital... The next day spread everywhere. At the same time, there was another news. Her status as a monk in Germany was temporarily frozen by the Berlin University of Technology. The reason is that Hoa Thanh Institute is investigating. As a person related to direct interests, Berlin's side temporarily stopped all her academic exchange activities. Wait for the Chinese side to finish the investigation before deciding whether to restore or not. In other words... She didn't fly back because she was "interested in the research institute". But because she was in Germany, she couldn't stay anymore. This news was transmitted by Ms. Trieu in the administrative department. Ms. Trieu is famous for her loose mouth. Whatever happened to her, the whole hospital soon knew. After the news spread... The atmosphere in the hospital began to change very miraculously. Before that, there were a few people still standing outside watching. Don't know which side to take. It's starting to differentiate. Tieu Vuong from the materials synthesis room came to the laboratory to look for me. This time it's no longer about signing names..

“Miss Tham.”

“The previous sample inspection reports…”

“I still keep the original copy of the operation book.”

“If you need…”

“I can photocopy it and give it to you.”

“Why did you keep it to yourself?”

Tieu Vuong rubbed his hands.

“At that time, I saw that there was something wrong with changing the author's name..”

“Should keep an extra copy.”

“In case something happens later.”

“Miss Tham…”

“I apologize for what happened before.”

"At that time, Deputy Director Ly told me to just follow the procedure, but I didn't dare to ask too many questions."

“Bring the saved copy over here.”

The Little King had not been gone for long... The second person had arrived. It's Tien Duy Quoc. This is the second time he has entered my laboratory. But the appearance this time... Completely different from last time. Last time he came to announce a transfer. Righteous reputation and favorable language. And this time... Before entering, he knocked three times on the door. Wait for me to say "come in" before pushing the door. No longer holding a cup of tea in his hand.

“Tieu Tham.”

“Director Tien.”

He closed the door and sat down in a chair close to the wall.

“The investigation team from superiors will arrive tomorrow.”

"Ly Phong's story is basically decided."

“Block invitations, forge signatures, falsify medical documents…”

“Very serious nature.”

"Dao Vien's problem is not light."

“Participating in editing data, slandering, and coordinating to falsify appraisal reports.”

“As for Ha Uyen Thanh…”

“If she proactively submits an explanation, a reduction may be considered.”

“If not delivered…”

“Will also be investigated together.”

“I give her three days.”

"I know."

He ran his hand through his hair.

“Tieu Tham…”

“There is something I must tell you.”

“You say it.”

“The story of Ly Phong blocking invitations…”

“Before that I really didn't know.”

"But the matter of changing the place to become a monk to Ha Uyen Thanh..."

“I know.”

His hands left his hair, flat on his knees.

"Ly Phong said she was about to get pregnant and voluntarily gave in."

“I did not verify but signed and approved.”

“It was my mistake.”

“Why don't you verify?”

“Because you and he are husband and wife.”

"He said you volunteered, I have no reason to doubt."

He sighed.

“But I should have been suspicious.”

“A researcher I worked at the hospital for six years..."

“Suddenly giving up the opportunity to practice abroad…”

“A normal manager should have confirmed it directly.”

“I'm lazy.”

He stood up.

“After the investigation team arrived…”

“I will also be responsible for management.”

“You don't need to help me with this.”

“There's no need to hide it from me.”

“Whatever the truth is, it is what it is.”

He went to the door.

“As for you becoming the senior research team leader of the Thu Quang Project…”

“The higher ups have officially approved it.”

“Next week there will be a short appointment session at the institute.”

“Academician Co will come one more time.”

“Tieu Tham.”

He turned his head to look at me.

“You stay at this research institute…”

“It was the right choice.”

“Is this hospital worthy of you or not…”

“It's something we have to think about for ourselves.”

He opened the door and went out. I sat in front of the lab table. The test tube rack in front of me has been neatly adjusted. From the general support room back to this laboratory... It took forty-three days. From the time they took away six years... To the time they got it all back... Less than two weeks. It's not because I'm so good. The things they took away were excellent. So excellent that... No matter who you put it under, it will glow. And the person who actually created them... Once she stands in the light again... The aura will also return to her.
