1750 What Exactly Did She Steal?
Then, he wiped the water off his hands with a towel.
Glancing at his student standing uneasily at the side, he threw the towel back on the experiment table and then asked unhurriedly, “Since when does our Pharmacy a.s.sociation care about what others think?”
Robert stood rooted to the ground.
Zhong Yiliu said proudly, “We can’t control them. The people outside can say whatever they want. We just have to do our own thing. We won’t be able to do research anymore if we have to pay attention to the slightest movement. It’s useless to do research if you can’t calm down. You won’t achieve anything.”
!!The Overseas Medical a.s.sociation had been slapped in the face by them this time. It was said that Master Carlo was contacting other organizations in the medical world, determined to stand up for Jiang Xianrou.
This was also why Robert rushed in impatiently.
Now that he had been taught a lesson by his teacher, his impetuous heart immediately calmed down.
He lowered his head in shame.
After a while, he looked up again and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he asked curiously, “Teacher, what did she steal to make you so angry?”
Zhong Yiliu did not want to tell him at first, but seeing that he was indeed curious and there was nothing he could not tell him.
He was not ashamed of such academic theft.
Naturally, there was no need to cover up for the thief.
He simply said, “She stole Q’s prescription.”
“Q?” Robert was not stupid. He immediately remembered that Jiang Xianrou stayed in the library all day when she came to the Pharmacy a.s.sociation. She had even asked him about the only Chinese medicine book in the library. For a moment, he did not know what to say. He only muttered, “So it’s related to Q. No wonder you’re so angry.”
Zhong Yiliu had the same att.i.tude toward everyone, but he valued Q from the bottom of his heart.
Robert had been by his side for a long time and knew how much his teacher valued Q.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yiliu looked at him and corrected him with a cold gaze. “You’re wrong. My anger has nothing to do with who she stole from.
“I would still have the same att.i.tude even if she stole the prescription of an ordinary member. Stealing is stealing. Since ancient times, no one has been right in stealing. Most people can have no bottom line, but academics must have a bottom line! The Pharmacy a.s.sociation will never tolerate such a person…”
Robert was silent for a full minute. He had already made his own judgment in his heart. He nodded at his teacher with a serious expression and said in a low voice, “I understand.”
Then, he went out to reply to the emails from Jiang Xianrou and the Overseas Medical a.s.sociation.
Zhong Yiliu watched him go out, then walked to the side and sat in front of his old desktop computer. He found a contact and sent a message to the person named Q.

It should be a good thing for her to officially join a large professional medical organization like the Overseas Medical a.s.sociation, but so many things happened.
In particular, Jiang Xian’s joyous occasion was immediately tainted with a layer of haze and became a joke when someone saw the statement of the Pharmacy a.s.sociation on Instagram and its screenshot posted on Weibo.
After Qiao Nian reposted it on Weibo, she replied to a round of WeChat messages. After was.h.i.+ng up, she turned on her computer and saw Zhong Yiliu’s message.
[Z: I didn’t discuss expelling Jiang Xianrou with you. However, I definitely won’t let her stay in the a.s.sociation anymore. Sorry, I’ll tell you in advance the next time something like this happens again.]
