Chapter 1607: Chapter 767 Unwittingly Offending Yang Xing_2

"Is this really okay?" Yan Xing hesitated.

"Why wouldn’t it be? I’ve published many articles; you need to choose some and see which are valuable and which aren’t. If you were staying in a hotel, wouldn’t you just be wasting your evening?" Yan Fei invited him earnestly.

He truly hadn’t expected that the preparations he had made would take effect so quickly. Initially, his plan was to wait for others to study these articles and then claim that he had already published similar ones long ago to boost his reputation. But now, someone had discovered his ’unpolished gem’ ahead of time, which saved him a lot of effort.

The key was that the person who discovered it was a well-known and truly credible expert, a significant figure in the paleontology field.

"Is it convenient at your place?" Seeing that Yan Fei’s invitation was sincere, Yan Xing thought it over and said, "I’m not very formal; it’s fine for me to come if it’s convenient for you. If not, don’t force it. I can stay anywhere."

"It’s definitely convenient. There are several rooms in my house, and it’s just the two of us living there." Yan Fei smiled. "Even if a few more people came, there’d be enough room. Let’s go, let’s go!"

As he spoke, he began to actively help Yan Xing pack up the table full of materials.

Yan Xing had gathered several magazines that Yan Fei had published articles in, but those were just a small part. If it hadn’t been for each published article getting mailed to him, Yan Fei felt he wouldn’t have been able to complete his collection of magazines—not that there were many, compared to other experts with higher outputs. His career was still relatively short, but key was that it was messy.

Describing those messy magazines as chaotic was already putting it mildly; previously, Boss Yan wasn’t picky at all and would publish in any magazine. If it wasn’t totally inappropriate, he was even eager to publish articles in trendy magazines focused on women’s lifestyles...

When the two of them left the conference room, an elderly man with slightly balding hair came up with two people: "Expert Yan, we’ve already booked a meal at the hotel, just waiting for you!"

Yan Xing was taken aback: "Well, I just agreed to go to Yan Fei’s place. Let’s talk next time. Today I really, really am short on time; it’s already quite presumptuous of me to be here bothering you without much advance notice, how could I still..."

"Expert Yan, you are too polite!" The elderly man said with a smile. "Normally we don’t even get a chance to invite someone like Expert Yan, but since we’ve managed today, how could we not give a warm welcome? A courteous reception is necessary, isn’t it?"

"Really, it’s not necessary." Yan Xing declined. "There will be many opportunities in the future, perhaps next time?"

"Expert Yan, let me speak frankly. You are purely focused on research, and society nowadays is rather superficial. Many young people fish for compliments and are willing to do anything for it. Don’t be deceived?" The middle-aged man behind the old man spoke up, glancing at Yan Fei unintentionally or otherwise. "I think it’s better for you to stay with us, really. It’s for your own good..."

Your words are really unimpressive, aren’t they?

Yan Fei couldn’t be bothered to deal with such people. Did I provoke you in any way?

Yan Xing was also puzzled, but seeing that the middle-aged man intended to attack Yan Fei, he immediately countered: "Director Ge, Yan Fei is not the kind of fame-seeking young person you describe. I’m actually going over to his place now just to take a look at the articles he previously published."

"You don’t know; among those articles he published, two pictures have already been validated by the scientific community in paleontology. I’m actually planning to bring a few more of his published articles to show to those experts..."

Yan Fei smiled smugly on the side. Look, you’ve met your match, haven’t you?

It’s not that Yan Xing is blunt in speech, but as someone focused on research, who has time to study interpersonal communication? He speaks his mind, which left the old man and the two behind him speechless for quite a while.

If it was just about being stunned, that would be one thing, but the significance behind Yan Xing’s words made all three of them look at Yan Fei with disbelief. Law disbelieving?

Would this irresponsible young man, who had luckily found a couple of worthless insects, actually be able to write quality papers?

However, the three were not yet ready to give up: "Expert Yan, everyone at the institute is waiting for you; what do you think..."

"I’m really sorry, but it’s not possible today." Yan Xing once again refused. "I guess after I return, I’ll still come back here. How about we all get together then? I have to return to the Capital tomorrow, and today I really don’t have much time!"

After yet another round of reluctant invitation from the three elderly men, seeing that Yan Xing was resolute, they had no choice but to watch him and Yan Fei leave together. Yet the looks they gave Yan Fei could almost shoot daggers!

"This Yan Fei really doesn’t know how to behave!" Just as Yan Fei and he left, the middle-aged man behind the old man commented. "He has no idea what looking at the big picture means. With so many people at our institute, couldn’t he have said something to persuade Expert Yan to come with us?"

"Forget it, stop talking about it," the old man said with a dark face, cutting him off. "If he really understood the big picture, he would have taken the initiative to come to us a long time ago!"

"Exactly, young people achieve a little early success and always become arrogant. They only learn what’s high and what’s deep after they’ve suffered some hardships..." Another person beside them said.
