Chapter 248: Chapter 189: I Want to Make a Secret Arrangement, and Then..._1

The Lunar New Year’s Day 15 natural history museum’s new wing opening ceremony.

Today, Feng Yi didn’t dress as commercially, opting for a formal look with an added touch of elegance.

One could tell at a glance that he was attending some type of event, rather than discussing business interests in a serious setting.

He didn’t wear his glasses; there was no need for them today.

Jia drove, delivering Feng Yi to the designated location at the venue, where staff then led him to the waiting room to prepare.

Outside, quite a few people gathered—some were queuing to enter the museum, while others were just there for the entertainment.

Today, Feng Yi attended in the capacity of an expert, not a celebrity artist, armed with his expert’s pass.

However, the museum’s staff tended to overlook his expert identity when they saw Feng Yi.

His face truly was more eye-catching!

Although it didn’t fit their standards of beauty—not round, square, or the more orthodox face types—they knew many people preferred his kind of face.

And what’s more, Feng Yi’s popularity online was not merely due to his looks; he was indeed a genuine powerhouse expert!

The entertainment industry has all kinds of face types, plenty with high aesthetic value, but there’s only one Feng Yi.

Therefore, at the opening ceremony, when Feng Yi made his appearance, a crowd below whipped out their phones, frantically snapping photos and shouting "Brother Se" and "Python King."

Regardless of his inner commentary, Feng Yi maintained a perfect professional smile on his face.

However, with many important leaders present today, he was just a supporting role. What to say and how to say it had been arranged by the museum beforehand.

After fulfilling his part, he returned to the floor, and before anyone could approach him for an interview, Director He pulled him aside.

Those nearby noticed Director He’s smile became several degrees more genuine when he looked at Feng Yi, deepening the creases at the corners of his eyes.

Every time there was news about Feng Yi, there would always be those who lamented, "What a waste it is for someone with such a face not to be in the entertainment industry." There were quite a few voices like this in the crowd earlier.

Director He had heard it too. Today’s schedule was very tight, but seizing a rare moment of free time, he pulled Feng Yi aside for a chat.

What nonsense about joining the entertainment industry! Their Security Agency certainly wouldn’t be happy with Feng Yi wasting his talents!

"In the prime of your life, you should be doing more meaningful things!"

Director He knew about the battle for inheritance within the Feng family, but he had also told Feng Yi in the past—if it was a matter of money, the Security Agency had high-reward tasks available, offering not only money but also points!

With these points, one could directly take the green channel for talent in any province or city; things like household registration, buying a house, tax exemptions, purchasing equipment, research materials, applying for further education, etc., would all be facilitated, and if one were to conduct research, the benefits would be even greater.

However, time was limited, and after talking for a while, Director He glanced at his watch. He had matters to discuss with several city leaders shortly, so he said to Feng Yi:

"You’ve received the notice, right? There’s a meeting in a conference room here at the venue this afternoon. They will present you with a certificate, so don’t run off."

After speaking, Director He hurried off, and Feng Yi was then stopped by a reporter who had been waiting by his side.

Feng Yi glanced at them, recognizing the cooperative media that the museum had mentioned.

Reporter: "Brother Se?"

Feng Yi, with an unchanging smile, "You could use another title."

"Mr. Yi?"

"Just call me by my name."

The reporter chuckled, "Then ’Brother Yi,’ with your abilities, everyone’s willing to call you ’Brother.’"

Those nearby who were listening in quickly nodded their heads in agreement.

That’s right!

Who cares whether it’s age-appropriate or not, what’s wrong with calling someone with talent ’Brother’?

The reporter asked Feng Yi a few questions related to the new natural science museum and then brought up the topic of the Florida pythons:

"During the opening ceremony earlier, I heard another expert say that the pythons you’ve captured will be released into the wild. Will they be set free in the mountains near Yang City? Does this mean we’ll frequently encounter pythons in the wild from now on?"

A moment of concern flickered through Feng Yi’s mind; the topic of releasing them could not be taken lightly, "That’s not the case! There are strict subspecies identification and genetic screening processes, considerations to minimize genetic pollution, and the ones brought back are mainly used in experimental areas far from the city, for research purposes. They won’t be released at random, and the cross-border examination is stringent, so there is no need for concern."

Reporter: "Will you be involved in this process?"

Feng Yi seriously replied, "Those tasks are carried out by specialized personnel. I am only responsible for capturing snakes."

Seeing Feng Yi’s earnest face, the reporter thought: This guy is really here as an expert, with none of the entertainment industry’s tone, providing clear-cut answers.

Quick-witted, the reporter took out a smartphone, displaying an image with a collage of sensational news headlines and popping short messages, all compiled together.

Feng Yi glanced at it, noting that the headlines all mentioned him capturing a twenty-meter-long snake or the natural science museum displaying a fifty-some meter giant python, sharing one thing in common—all completely absurd!

Reporter: "Brother Yi, as an expert in snake-catching, what’s your opinion on these headlines?"

Feng Yi smiled, "These fall into the category of ’You know it’s not our concern just by reading the headline.’"

I’m a serious expert, not responsible for correcting exaggerated or nonsensical headlines.

Still, Feng Yi added, "The people who write these headlines could take a look at the Titanoboa model in the exhibition hall; that’s a snake over ten meters long. Although its body shape isn’t slender, it would still give everyone a clearer concept."

Remembering something, Feng Yi further explained, "The original author of the news content might have used ’feet’ instead of ’meters’ as the unit of length. Twenty feet is about six meters. People who reposted the content overlooked this detail, and as it was passed along, only the numerical figure remained."
