There’s no such thing as trouble before trouble actually arises.
After leaving Old Master ng’s place, Yan Fei asked Zhang Jian to drive and continue taking him and his wife on their journey.
Of course, ng Si’an felt displeased: "You know, you rarely get to co back, and you don’t even visit my restaurant to give feedback. By the way, when will my kangaroo skin arrive?"
Yan Fei thought for a mont: "Probably by tonight, I’ll call you when it arrives. If you go to the Institute, there won’t be anything for you to do there, so get busy with your stuff!"
The kangaroo skin, riddled with holes, was ’personally’ hunted by Boss ng, and Yan Fei was worried he couldn’t bring it back. So, he fibbed, claiming he had connections to have it brought back.
ng Si’an, concerned, believed him and obediently handed over the kangaroo skin, waiting for Yan Fei to use his ’connections’ to return it.
Actually, the skin was just left in the dinosaur world. Yan Fei simply hadn’t found an opportunity to retrieve it yet.
The streets of the Capital hadn’t seen him for over half a year, and the traffic noticeably increased. Regardless of any increase, it still wasn’t as bad as twenty years later when even the limited number plates couldn’t prevent awful traffic jams.
A small sports car roared past, and Zhang Jian frustratedly cursed: "Who the hell bought a new car again? When I make it big, I’ll buy a few just to let them sit there as decorations for myself!"
Xiaoyan laughed at his childish behavior.
Yan Fei chuckled: "People don’t always buy cars with their own money. You’re only eighteen now, in a couple of years you’ll definitely be able to afford it yourself. What’s the rush?"
"That’s true!" The young man replied with full confidence and prematurely mature tone. "But I think by then, I wouldn’t fancy these cars anymore. I’d likely be like Brother Fei, get a few rcedes-Benz to seem more mature and steady. Successful people shouldn’t be like these good-for-nothings from wealthy backgrounds..."
He said it as if he weren’t one himself. If not for his family’s circumstances, at his age, he’d be in school, working in a factory, or laboring in the fields, certainly not driving around, let alone starting a pharmaceutical company.
But having ambition is worth encouraging, so Yan Fei nodded in agreent: "Once you have your own business, you can play whenever you want, and no one would say you are wasting your life. Before you have a business, spending money on entertainnt is being a spoiled brat, a good-for-nothing. After you have a business, it’s called interests and hobbies, it’s different."
Zhang Jian felt as if he was doping himself with motivation: "Brother Fei understands it well!"
Xiaoyan secretly found it amusing!
The girl could see that probably the little guy admired Yan Fei a lot, so whatever Yan Fei said was good to him. If anyone else spoke to him with such a tone, he’d probably retort, or worse, start a fight.
Youthful straightforwardness.
Zhang Jian indeed slightly admired Yan Fei. As soone with a family background, anyone with a shred of ambition wouldn’t idolize so naughty children.
Now, Yan Fei was thriving with business at ho, as adept as a fish in water outside...this last part is what Zhang Jian particularly admired.
"By the way, Brother Fei, if Brother Xiao Zhi goes to hang out with you, can I go too?" Zhang Jian asked.
"Of course!" Yan Fei didn’t mind people hanging out despite being lazy most of the ti at the ranch. "I’ve just purchased a whole bunch of weapons; once they arrive, you can play with them all you want. Hunting is no problem, and soon my yacht will be ready too, we can go out to sea together. If Old ng hadn’t co looking for , I was just discussing with your sister-in-law about buying a small plane to fly around the ranch!"
"I must work hard, if I can’t reach your level, I should at least aim to be able to buy whatever I want!" Zhang Jian said with determination.
Those with ambitions are all good kids!
Chatting and laughing, they arrived at the Institute of Science, Yan Fei called Yang Xing, who ran out in a construction outfit: "Co quickly... or shall we have so tea first to rest? It’s a bit ssy inside, Xiao Xing you..."
He realized his behavior was sowhat inappropriate and knew how to redy it.
Xiaoyan wasn’t a dainty little girl; she smiled and said: "Teacher Yang, I’m fine. If it doesn’t bother you, I’d also like to join Yan Xiaofei to see your work! He’s loved this since childhood, and I haven’t actually seen how you all research."
What a considerate good girl!
Yang Xing felt a bit embarrassed: "Well, I applied to the institute for you. If Xiao Fei helps out, there’s a daily stipend of four hundred bucks, considered a subsidy. It’s the rate for external experts. It’s a bit low, but that’s pretty much what we have, so it’s relatively high."
Speaking of which, Yang Xing felt genuinely ashad; if sticking to old thoughts, research is invaluable. However, the world’s been open for so many years now, economic benefits must be considered.
Boss Yan now earns a fortune daily, and four hundred bucks a day might be the least he’s made since starting his business. But don’t look down on four hundred bucks, if soone were recruited from another institute or departnt, they wouldn’t even get that per day, not to ntion if soone were hired from lower-tier or several tiers down research institutes, even without als, people are willing to co.
But such people would only do laborious tasks, and the institute doesn’t need that many people.
Of course, this external hire ans ’one’s own people.’ If it were a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes, the rate would be high indeed. But the institute wouldn’t hire such people, not only for monetary concerns but due to issues about research outco ownership.
