1283: Chapter 630: The Scalper Expert Yan Fei_3 1283: Chapter 630: The Scalper Expert Yan Fei_3 So when he saw Boss Yan happily heading to the post office to collect the remittance form for his manuscript fee, he couldn’t help muttering to himself, “Fish for complints.”
The most shaless thing was that not only did Boss Yan ‘make up’ the articles himself, but he also plagiarized soone else’s achievents.
And that soone else was none other than Liu JinXue himself.
Hadn’t Liu JinXue recently exerted a lot of effort to figure out a better thod for drying Agaricus bisporus?
Yan Fei asked him whether he should write an article and publish it, saying that at least he could earn a little manuscript fee!
Liu JinXue imdiately expressed his opposition, “This can hardly be considered research; just about anyone could co up with this thod with a few tries.
Should I take such a simple thing and try to scam a manuscript fee?
Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?”
But Yan Fei wasn’t afraid of being embarrassed.
He turned around and wrote an article, including both of their nas, and had it published.
When the manuscript fee ca back, he had the audacity to keep half of it for himself: “Since you didn’t want to write, I wrote it on your behalf.
Both our nas had to be included, so I deserve half of the manuscript fee.”
Liu JinXue was so angry that he hadn’t planned on taking the manuscript fee at all, but now he not only took it, he also chased after Boss Yan, asking him to give him an additional twenty percent.
Because of this article, one of Liu JinXue’s classmates even called him to say that he finally found a job that suited him well and was doing quite impressively, which made Liu JinXue’s face turn bright red with embarrassnt.
You’d think publishing articles on water buffaloes would be enough, but what’s even more infuriating is that Boss Yan also publishes all sorts of nonsensical stuff.
A few years ago, in a county to the west of Wancheng City, a large-scale dinosaur fossil park was discovered.
After visiting it, Boss Yan began to write articles, all of which contained speculative content like “Based on the distribution of dinosaur eggs, deducing the living habits of herbivorous dinosaurs” and “The diverse hunting thods of carnivorous dinosaurs,” and so on.
Several articles related to this subject have been published, and the magazines they appeared in were the kind any respectable researcher would look down upon.
But for the people of Sancha River, having an article published in a magazine was an impressive accomplishnt!
Besides, after studying the articles for a long ti, Liu JinXue found that he couldn’t identify any flaws in Yan Fei’s theories, which annoyed him even more.
How could this be?
To think, in order to find so errors, he had specifically asked a classmate to look up so related materials.
Of course, he didn’t know that Boss Yan could write just by looking at the dinosaur; as for the deductions, they already had the correct results, and reverse-engineering them to seem irrefutable wasn’t that difficult—especially since Boss Yan had a group of hard workers; he just needed to translate their work once, which wasn’t hard at all.
Even though, in Liu JinXue’s opinion, the quality of these articles wasn’t that great, if quality was insufficient, quantity would suffice.
By his estimates, Boss Yan had collected several thousand yuan in manuscript fees in the month before the New Year.
Thinking of this, Liu JinXue really didn’t know what to say.
Although he was aware of so shady dealings, deep down, he had to admit that Boss Yan’s articles did have substance.
Even if they were ‘made up,’ at least they seed to be well-reasoned.
Because Boss Yan had published articles in multiple magazines in a short period of ti, the city’s livestock magazine even conducted a ‘celebrity interview’ with him.
The article claid that Boss Yan’s recent sharing of experiences was the result of long-term accumulation and that the way he generously introduced his past experience in animal husbandry to everyone, with a spirit of selflessness, was worthy of emulation…
In Sancha River, news about Boss Yan was the biggest, attracting even more attention than sothing like the World Cup.
Therefore, during the period before the New Year, the talk of the town in Sancha River was all about Boss Yan publishing new articles!
And from another perspective, Yan Fei’s reputation as an expert had been solidified.
After all, he had published so many articles—if you just looked at the quantity, the number of publications was indeed quite impressive.
No matter how you put it, Boss Yan’s reputation had climbed another rung on the ladder in a short period of ti.
When Xu Xiaoyan ca back for winter break, the secretive Yan Fei who picked her up waited until they got to the farm before mysteriously pulling out a stack of magazines: “Take a look, and don’t you dare say I’m uneducated anymore.
Now I’m also a well-known water buffalo expert in the city, so rember to show so respect, huh!”
“This many?” Miss Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback.
Of course, it was impossible to completely hide the matters of the farm from her.
After all, apart from Yan Fei, she also kept in touch with her family; it was impossible for her to have heard nothing.
But she really hadn’t expected that, in such a short period of ti, there would be such a thick stack of magazines with articles published by Yan Fei on his desk.
“What’s too many?” Yan Fei feigned modesty.
“These are all based on careful observation and experience.
Didn’t you see the articles saying that this is the result of my long-term accumulation?
I’m basically done for now; any future publications will have to wait until after the New Year.”
“You’re amazing!” Xu Xiaoyan leaned in and smacked him on the face.
“That’s your reward.
Now let see what you’ve written!
It must have been hard to keep it a secret until now…”
While the girl was perusing the magazines, Yan Fei asked, “How about we go to the city’s TV station together tomorrow?”
“What for?” Xu Xiaoyan imdiately put down the magazine, looked up, and asked.
