Chapter 284 - 284: Am I Offering a Bounty for Myself?
```
"Get... get a side job..." The expression on Zhuo Shangke's face on the other end of the phone looked as if he had suffered constipation for three days and then had diarrhea; the value was both bitter and stinky.
Getting a side job and producing 20 papers in world-class journals—then why do we need scientists at all? The key point was, besides hearing about Fang Jueyu gallivanting around showing off, he hadn't heard of him conducting any re
Fang Jueyu immediately posted an update.
"I understand your doubts. Geniuses are generally difficult to comprehend. I guarantee all the research results are my own work. If any transactions exist, I'm open to public scrutiny. If someone finds evidence, I'll reward them with 100 million!"
As soon as he made this statement, the comments section blew up with a new, interesting catchphrase popping up online within minutes.
"Am I actually putting a bounty on myself?"
Although this quip was hilarious, it perfectly summarized Fang Jueyu's behavior. Some suspected him of falsifying results, yet instead of getting angry, he even offered a reward for evidence of his fraud; could there be a bolder move?
If it wasn't a PR stunt, it definitely showed his confidence—did Fang Jueyu need publicity at this point?
"The dean is bold; those skeptical people better shut your canine mouths!"
"Roll, roll, roll, stop asking for trouble. If you're capable, go find evidence! The dean promised a billion, a billion will be there. Only an idiot wouldn't take it!"
"Anyone want to help me find evidence? We'll split the money (dog head for mercy)."
"Second Battalion Commander, bring out my Italian…pasta for our friends to taste!"
"Above, didn't hold my blade; remember to watch your words in the next life!"
...
"President, it's a big deal, a big deal indeed!" Zhuo Shangke dashed into the president's office with a bright face. As the recommender, Fang Jueyu's sensational deed brought glory to him too!
But upon entering, he was dumbfounded to see the office packed with professors and scholars.
"Mr. Zhuo, I've already heard about it."
"President, there should be no doubt about Fang Jueyu's professorship now, right?" Zhuo Shangke scanned the professors who voted against him, making them bow their heads in shame.
"Sigh, it's not about the professorship anymore," the president sighed, sounding worried. "It's about whether we can keep him now."
Although Jiangnan University was among the top three in Huaxia, there were many schools ranking higher globally—Harvard University, Stanford University, Oxford University, Yale University, and so on.
With someone capable of publishing 20 top-tier journal papers at once, would these universities let him slip through their fingers? They'd certainly offer generous conditions to lure him away.
In fact, Fang Jueyu wouldn't need to do anything; just having his name associated with their school would be a great brand. By comparison, Jiangnan University lacked competitiveness, not to mention they had recently disheartened Fang Jueyu.
"Hmph! It's all due to you stubborn old goats!" Zhuo Shangke grumbled irritably, "Last week, couldn't we have simply granted him the professorship? Then Fang Jueyu would already be a great asset for our school. In a year or two we'd be the top university in Huaxia, making Qingbei University and Yanjing University afraid to compete with us!"
"Hmph! Short-sighted fools!" Zhuo Shangke, with his fiery temper, began hurling colorful language around.
Those professors couldn't utter a word in anger, knowing their worth paled in comparison to Fang Jueyu.
"Let's see how you guys end this now!" Zhuo Shangke didn't bother with them; the university would handle it. He just waited to watch the drama unfold.
