After speaking, Tian Yanzhen paused, then dominantly stated: "As for offending people, that's inevitable. There are many instances of research topics clashing in academia. Whoever solves the problem first and publishes the paper gets the credit.
We can't just say their results are theirs simply because they started their research first. It's all based on capability. Your results speak for themselves, and with me and your grandmaster around, rest assured, nobody can steal your work."
Qiao Yu nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, but can I submit it a bit later? Maybe in the afternoon? You know, I just told Professor Dennis that I hadn't figured out the complete proof yet. Suddenly coming up with the complete proof feels quite embarrassing."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Why can you say he knows it directly... Ah, never mind. Alright, the afternoon it is..." In the end, Tian Yanzhen yielded to Qiao Yu's request.
