Chapter 691: Chapter 446: He’s a Crawling Researcher..._1

After arranging matters on the island, Feng Yi had a talk with Xin.

Xin still showed a repulsion towards bustling cities, however, once the security facilities on the island were almost complete, Feng Yi planned to take him to Yang City for a short visit, which was within Xin’s acceptable range.

The butler was in excellent health. After staying on the island from Yang City for a few days, he returned to Yang City and rested only half a day longer before energetically entering the next phase of busyness — preparing Feng Yi’s luggage for the business trip.

Some time ago, Feng Yi had promised the director of the Joint Defense Bureau’s expert committee to attend an overseas exchange meeting held in N City, requiring a journey across the ocean with a flight of more than a dozen hours, and a time difference of over ten hours.

Of course, these were not really a problem, the only considerable impact on Feng Yi would be the climate.

He had been active in tropical or subtropical regions lately, and Yang City had only started cooling down in the last two days. Feng Yi almost forgot that the northern hemisphere had already entered winter.

Like the northern cities in China, N City across the sea had also entered winter, and it was presently snowing.

Seeing the temperature there, the butler took out a custom-made coat from the top bionic fur company.

With that thickness, wearing it was like turning into a bear.

It’s an exaggeration, too much of an exaggeration.

That’s totally unnecessary!

Feng Yi politely refused.

He just wasn’t particularly fond of the cold winter season, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t handle it!

Back when he went to deliver medicine for the Ancestral Factory and intercepted the poachers on the snow-bound mountain, he still moved agilely.

Besides, Feng Yi had lived in Rong City for a few years; he wasn’t going to become so delicate after two or three mild winters.

"Just keep it simple. Plus, most of the time I won’t be outdoors anyway, there’s no need to wear something so thick," Feng Yi insisted.

"Alright."

The butler reluctantly placed the overly thick luxury faux fur coat back into the wardrobe and took out several more subdued wool sets.

While the butler was busy preparing the travel items, Feng Yi went to the collection hall and placed the painting of the "dragon" drawn by the little girl on the island in his collection area.

To others, this painting might be worthless, but to Feng Yi, it was a treasure.

Gazing silently at the paintings on the wall of the collection area for a while, Feng Yi returned home from the collection hall and entered the intense preparation phase.

Attending the exchange meeting meant preparing a presentation. Otherwise, what would he speak about upon reaching the stage?

During the period of organizing the presentation, Ren came to report on his work during a meal break.

Knowing he was going to accompany him to N City made Ren very happy. He made an effort to prove his presence by reporting on his progress over the past few days. He had done some testing with the cats and dogs in the community again.

Feng Yi watched Ren quietly, and after a moment, a smile appeared:

"Very good, Ren. Don’t you think you still lack some professional finesse?"

Then, Ren watched as Feng Yi took out the draft of the presentation he would use at the exchange meeting.

"Do you have skills in this area? Can you write such presentations? Can you get up on stage and talk through a PPT?"

Faced with the boss’s sudden threefold question, Ren felt the pressure. He also thought he should supplement his skills in this regard.

At the same time, Xin also thought of another issue.

"Boss, do I need to learn how to catch snakes?"

Feng Yi had also seriously considered this question.

"No need," Feng Yi said.

"Okay!" Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if you learned, you would give yourself away the moment you tried," Feng Yi added.

"...I’m sorry."

This was a matter of capability not allowed by actual strength!

And it was the disparity of the world!

Feng Yi encouraged, "Don’t stress about it. Instead of catching snakes, you should help me sort out the threads in the presentation. The report for this exchange encompasses too many topics. Come, let’s refine your imitation skills to perfection."

What a brain cell killer! I can’t believe I took so much material in the rainforest back then! Sorting this out is making my brain oxygen-deprived!

Ren seems to have a good head on his shoulders, hmm, let’s add some burden to him.

Professional stand-in, helping the boss reply to messages and write reports.

On the day of departure, Feng Yi brought Jia, Ding, and Ren.

As per the plan, he wasn’t going to stay on the other side of the ocean for long, so he didn’t bring Bing, and therefore, Bing’s newly custom kitchen tools didn’t have much chance to be used.

Once again, Feng Yi refused the organizer’s arrangements for food and accommodation, choosing a hotel based on the location of the exchange meeting — a hotel invested in by Uncle Bao.

Uncle Bao’s super VIP card was also valid at this hotel.

After more than ten hours of flying, Feng Yi changed into thick clothes before leaving the cabin. He put on a scarf, covering half his face.

The car booked in advance was already waiting at the exit.

Looking through the window, Feng Yi saw the city covered in white snow, the tall buildings, and the crowd and vehicles coming and going on the streets.

Walking without a mask, no one would recognize me, right?

After checking into the hotel and setting down his luggage, Feng Yi didn’t rest in the room. He had gotten enough sleep on the plane; instead, he planned to visit the Joint Defense Bureau library in N City, not to research other materials, but to add a final polish to his organized presentation.

After all, facing mostly foreigners, using methods more suited to them when explaining could perhaps reduce the number of times they ask questions?

Jia drove Feng Yi to the library at the Joint Defense Bureau.

Feng Yi told him, "You go back to the hotel to rest. I’ll stay here for a few more hours, and I’ll give you a call when I need to return to the hotel."

Jia couldn’t enter the library anyway, as the Joint Defense Bureau library required an identity proof for entry.

Before coming, Feng Yi had also looked into the library of the Joint Defense Bureau in N City, and found it similar in scale to the frequent ones in China.
