Only the youngsters engage in platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu.
Old-timers like Wu Anmin and Ji Weiyuan, for one, didn’t even know how to use Weibo before, nor did they need to.
Secondly, they always immerse themselves in their own fields of research, having no time or energy to pay attention to such things.
Thus, even though the scandal involving Peng Hongyuan had caused a massive uproar on Weibo, Ji Weiyuan and Wu Anmin were completely oblivious to it.
It was only when Ji Yan called his grandpa in the afternoon and told Ji Weiyuan that Peng Hongyuan was taken away by the police, and Lu Sheng, who tried to defend him, was viciously attacked online, that Ji Weiyuan realized something serious had happened.
Ji Weiyuan immediately called Peng Hongyuan, only to find that his phone was unreachable, and then he quickly called Wu Anmin.
Accusations such as luring underage girls with offers, suppressing fellow professors, exploiting students for personal gains, verbal abuse, and even attempted rape and sexual harassment of a student.
Ji Weiyuan, possessing a literary disposition, prided himself on his accurate judgement of character. Knowing and working with Peng Hongyuan for so many years, how could he not understand the kind of person Peng Hongyuan was?
Indeed, he had a foul temper, but he would never stoop to abusing students, and he was even more amicable towards students than to colleagues and leadership.
An utter workaholic, all his energy geared towards scientific research. His few students, each as diligent as the next, eagerly sought to achieve under his guidance. There was no need for any exploitation.
So dedicated to his research that he didn’t even consider marriage. There were endless introductions to potential partners, yet he never bothered to look at the photos of these women, resembling a monk devoid of desires.
How could such a person ever commit actions like sexual harassment or attempt to rape a student?
Ji Weiyuan didn’t believe the reports and marketing accounts accusing Peng Hongyuan; he trusted his own judgment of character.
Thus, after talking over the phone with Wu Anmin and discussing this matter, Wu Anmin immediately declared he would stand up to speak for Peng Hongyuan.
Ji Weiyuan radiated a vigorous and righteous aura as he spoke.
"Shengsheng, a mere child, dares to stand up for Old Peng in such a challenging situation."
"We, two old men over fifty, can’t sit idle and do nothing, can we?"
Upon learning about Peng Hongyuan’s predicament, Wu Anmin naturally could not just stand by idly and watch.
Therefore, at five o’clock in the afternoon, Ji Weiyuan used the Weibo account Ji Yan helped him register and verify to make a post.
[@Ji Weiyuan: I have known Old Peng for thirty to forty years, he is definitely not the person described in those reports. As for what those anonymous posts claim, I don’t believe them either.]
[And about Shengsheng, Old Peng has praised her countless times in front of me and Anmin, saying she is the most outstanding scientific research talent he has ever seen. It’s sad that her talent gets misrepresented as luring with offers, truly tragic!]
[Please stop the rumors, and wait for the truth to come out!]
Immediately after, it was Wu Anmin’s turn.
[@Wu Anmin: I and Weiyuan had just left when those photos were taken.]
[The meal was eaten with Weiyuan and Old Peng, we three went to Shengjing High School to offer Shengsheng a spot because she is a genius beyond anyone’s understanding.]
[Saying Old Peng suppresses colleagues, exploits and verbally abuses students, none of these matters have ever been raised at Beijing University, and the authenticity of those so-called evidence chat records is still uncertain.]
[I hope everyone pays close attention and is not misled by those with agendas.]
The students of Shengjing High School Class 3-A, Ji Weiyuan, Wu Anmin... all firmly assert that Lu Sheng is a genius.
A seventeen-year-old girl, is she really that extraordinary?
