Chapter 181: Chapter 181
The entire room sighed sympathetically.
"Oh, this poor girl, her country probably doesn’t understand her excellence at all..."
David on the other end of the phone also sighed.
"If she is a confident girl, set up a research team, let me express my admiration on equal footing."
"I will make her even more charming."
When the real work began, time seemed to accelerate silently.
On November 25, Qin Manman successfully published a paper, gaining international fame.
The news caused a huge stir domestically, with countless people harshly criticizing her as a traitor on her Weibo account, and the officials unequivocally expressed their regret, repeatedly sending people to negotiate, but to no avail.
At the same time, countless public intellectuals seized the opportunity, preaching the virtues of foreign respect for knowledge, copyright, talent, and technology, while heavily criticizing domestic policies, stirring up waves of accusations that the lack of domestic respect for talent led to the loss of capable individuals.
As for Qin Manman herself, she faced mixed reviews—her previous actions were dug up, and no one believed the new bulletproof material was her achievement.
However, no one provided evidence that she had plagiarized.
On the contrary, news of collaborations kept coming, and the cooperation amounts made many people green with envy.
On December 28, Qin Manman’s account received $3 billion USD, and at the same time, a small research institute was joined by a group of United States research teams seeking collaboration and learning opportunities.
The leader, David, possessed golden hair shining like the Sun God, accompanied by deep green eyes brimming with emotion.
When he gazed earnestly at Qin Manman, it seemed as if all the love was pouring out, leaving people in awe of this sincerity.
As the year crossed into a new one, January 5, 2020.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave a surprising answer during an interview.
The question came from a United States journalist: "As far as I know, Ms. Qi is selflessly sharing her new technology to save more lives, while in your country, there are countless people laughing at her, what do you think of this?"
[As far as I know, Ms. Qin is selflessly sharing her achievements, saving countless people in war-torn areas, while in your country, she’s still cursed by many. What do you think of this?]
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave a regretful smile:
[I regret this deeply.]
The reporters were so excited they almost stood up—Here it comes, here it comes! Zheng Country is going to admit defeat!
Yet, just as everyone was eagerly anticipating, the spokesperson slowly added:
[Because it was nothing but an obsolete and useless achievement, and besides wasting manpower, money, and resources, there was nothing noteworthy—so our side tried hard to stop it. After all, as mutual allies, with the magnanimity of Zheng Country, we would never allow our allies to be harmed this way.]
[But unfortunately, our good intentions were misinterpreted, and we are very saddened by this.]
[For specific details, the Ministry of Defense will provide an explanation later. Here, too, we must thank the people fighting for the strength of Zheng Country. You are the most crucial cornerstone of our homeland!]
The United States journalists had expressions that were hard to describe, as if saying—
[You’re saying this out of anger, I don’t believe you!]
No matter what you believe or not, in the end, the spokesperson had a faintly meaningful smile.
Of course, domestic netizens interpreted it as—
[I tried to stop you, but failed, and now you’ve spent the money, wasted the resources, feeling quite helpless now! You see, I advised you not to buy, yet you wouldn’t listen!]
After all, as this video went viral on the internet, the latest announcement from the Ministry of Defense also swiftly made it to the top of the trending list.
[All-round Defense Suit developed successfully, today equipped at all grassroots units! Protect the people, protect you!]

To be fair, as a not-so-popular creator, Ling Jiao was really hardworking.

But ever since the Cleaning Circle made its debut, her life took off rapidly...
With an increasing fan base, more product endorsements, and her popularity soaring quickly.
