Chapter 1608: Chapter 767 Unwittingly Offending Yang Xing

Yan Fei had just started his car and was leaving the research institute when he heard this and couldn’t help muttering, "Did I offend these people?"

Even if I did offend them, I’m not afraid, but these people clearly have hidden meanings in their words!

"Maybe you offended someone without even realizing it!" Yang Xing was now very casual with him, laughing and joking. "Some people can’t stand to see others succeed, especially if those successful are less experienced than themselves, they tend to feel uncomfortable."

"That can’t be right, I have no relation with them." Yan Fei felt it was unlikely. "Speaking of which, I even have a collaboration with the Provincial City Agricultural Sciences, I’m planning a cloned cow project, besides my original home lab, I’ve built another new lab here in the Provincial City, cooperating with the Agricultural University’s lab, aiming to get this project out as soon as possible..."

"Hahaha..." Listening to him, Yang Xing couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "And you say you haven’t offended anyone? How exactly did you collaborate then?"

Yan Fei shared the general details of his collaboration, after listening, Yang Xing laughed even more: "You see, for such a big project, you chose an agricultural lab, why didn’t you choose a more official major research institute? That certainly did offend some people!"

"From what you said, you must have mastered some of the key technologies for this project, and you’re pretty confident about its success, right? Now you’re putting in both money and technology, and others are just doing the work and getting paid but also getting famous riding on your coat-tails, who wouldn’t want to be involved in that? By not inviting them, you’ve offended people!"

"That’s quite true." Yan Fei wasn’t new to this, and after some thought, he understood. "It really is easy to offend people everywhere. Teacher Yang, I feel like you’re not very good at handling these things, is it because you’ve encountered similar situations before?"

"Not really, we all started out following our teachers." Yang Xing explained. "The teachers would tell us these things in advance and when we went out to do research, we would ask the local institutes with strong connections for support as they could offer more help."

Yan Fei felt depressed: "Then I can’t be blamed, I have a teacher too, but my teacher is from the Agricultural University, he certainly chose those he had closer ties with, I also thought that was convenient, and it’s easier to communicate."

"But you shouldn’t mind it too much." Yang Xing advised. "These people have been holding onto their secure jobs for too long and have forgotten why they started doing scientific research. They are just left with a sense of decay, we are the new blood, unafraid of even tigers, so why fear them?"

Of course, I’m not afraid, but these sycophantic and unscrupulous people really disgust me. People like that are just a bunch who failed in research and only half-understand the social cunning and tricks, there’s no need to worry about them. Moreover, such people are few, and most are focused on their research, otherwise where would scientific progress come from?

When Yan Fei got home, Xu Xiaoyan had already prepared dinner, and after eating with Yang Xing, he pulled out a bunch of his published articles for Yang Xing to review first.

The discussion started off excitably, but when Yan Fei saw Yang Xing deep in thought and frowning at his ’particularly odd’ articles, he quietly stood up, replaced the old tea on the table with tea made from dinosaur world’s special tea leaves and mountain spring water, and brewed a new pot for Yang Xing...

This is a real expert, deserving of a good pot of tea from me.

Those ’particularly odd’ articles, in fact, aren’t odd, it’s just that compared to current paleontology research, they are way ahead of their time. If current research was still at the geocentric stage, then what he published would be equivalent to the heliocentric concept.

Yan Fei kept these magazines not expecting them to be validated by scientists within a year or two, or even three or four years; he was just planning ahead, better safe than sorry.

Being ahead by one step is innovation, but being too far ahead, in most people’s eyes, that’s just nonsense—if it weren’t for his advertising budget, such ’nonsense’ articles probably wouldn’t even make it into third-rate journals.

Now Yang Xing has seen them and has even begun to think about them, which indicates one thing: he has a thorough understanding of this field of research, he also has forward-thinking ideas, and is willing to accept new concepts—rather than blindly dismissing them as nonsense.

Although Yan Fei initially enjoyed the feeling of ’being the only sober person in a room full of drunks’ when he first published his articles, seeing someone genuinely able to understand these articles still made him quite happy...
