Although traditional media had become inferior to internet media, in the academic community, the Science Report journal still had its influence.

After all, they were directly affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Even though their newspaper wasn't read by most researchers, most research institute still mass-ordered their newspapers.

After all, if he made a mistake, he would be personally responsible. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

However, today's articles were all pretty good quality. That was until he came across an interview with Professor Wang Haifeng, a well-known academic scholar.

He slapped the printed article on the desk and looked at his secretary.

"Get me Li Xuesong."

"Okay."

However, when he looked at the article on the table, he became angry again.

During the meetings, he kept emphasizing to his journalists on how important politics was. However, this idiot obviously didn't hear what he said.

If he didn't review this article and the article got published, then he would be in trouble with the leadership team.

He was furious.

Secretary Zhou found Li Xuesong in the cubicles outside.

Li Xuesong asked nervously, "Brother Zhou, Chief Cai… What does he want?"

I didn't offend anyone recently, right?

"I don't know." Secretary Zhou frowned and looked serious as he said, "Also, this is an office, stop calling me brother."

Li Xuesong was so anxious that he began to sweat. He then nodded and said, "Yes, I was wrong."

Secretary Zhou said, "Just go."

The people in the cubicles watched Li Xuesong while they whispered about what had happened.

He knocked on the door and was met with a cold reply, "Come in".

He shivered a little as he walked inside.

"Did you write this thing?"

Li Xuesong immediately knew what was going on.

He guessed that the higher-ups weren't happy with his interview, so he tried to explain.

"Chief Cai, I know my report might cause controversy, but what does it have to do with us? We're in a neutral position, only objectively reporting on Professor Wang. It's Professor Wang that is in a controversy, this is the only way we can receive publicity…"

Li Xuesong was being scolded like a dog, but he didn't complain.

He was just a normal journalist; he wrote whatever was said by the interviewee.

However, he was still responsible.

After all, the reason he interviewed Wang Haifeng was to hear about his problems with Lu Zhou.

The controversy was good content.

Everyone was more willing to watch drama than serious reports.

Li Xuesong stopped talking.

Li Xuesong said, "Change the whole thing? Including the interview part?"

Li Xuesong was a little hesitant. "But Professor Wang…"

I don't want to piss of Professor Wang, and I can't just change his words, right?

"Yes…" Li Xuesong said quietly before he walked away holding the draft article.

After some changes, the final report finally came out.

Professor Wang's words were completely altered.

"Quite embarrassing" became "talented", "doesn't look at the whole situation" became "scientific researcher who take risks"…

All of the negative comments said by Professor Wang were changed into positive ones.

Did Professor Wang have opinions?

He didn't.

He couldn't.

In the beginning, he really thought that the caged carbon molecules by Professor Stanley would solve the lithium-sulfur batteries problem. He never would have expected the industry to reject Professor Stanley's plan and accept Lu Zhou's invention instead.

After Lu Zhou won the Hoffman Prize, his face turned blue.

China wanted to use this politically significant medal to promote friendship with Germany.

It would be suicide if he tried to criticize Lu Zhou now.

He thought about calling Science Report to ask them to remove his interview. However, he was too embarrassed.

Still, even though Wang Haifeng got lucky, he still felt a little distasteful after seeing this report.

But he couldn't do anything other than whine.

After all, he had no ground to criticize a Hoffman Prize winner.

Wang Haifeng looked at the Science Report journal, and he scoffed, "Possible Nobel Prize winner?"

He sneered and ripped the newspaper in half.

It was like he didn't learn his lesson; he started to criticize Lu Zhou again.

"Try staying in your own lane."

The PhD student sitting next to his desk shook his head.

He couldn't criticize his supervisor's opinions.

However, he could taste the salt from here…
