Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1348 - 656: Leave Professional Matters to Professionals_3

He dared not let the old man continue speaking. What if he screwed things up again? Having worked in the laboratory himself, he knew that the old man’s experience and qualifications were beyond his reach. If they were to lose these real researchers, and had to rely on his own half-baked skills, he would probably fail to meet Boss Yan’s needs. At that point, what purpose would his existence serve? To be without a raison d’être was truly... a terrifying thought!

"Oh?" Yan Fei pondered.

The articles he published did somewhat coincide with what the middle-aged man had said. Only, he hadn’t considered it as thoroughly as the middle-aged man, or to put it another way, he hadn’t articulated it as clearly – talking about devoting himself to research and such felt a bit premature. At the moment, his thoughts were simpler: he just wanted to show a keen interest in the field, to avoid seeming too abrupt in his future undertakings.

"Boss, may I say a bit more?" the old man, taking advantage of Yan Fei’s contemplation and realizing that Boss Yan had been in a bad mood earlier, saw an opportunity to make amends.

"Go ahead!" Yan Fei responded indifferently.

"Do you intend to engage in research in human society in the future, and perhaps prepare some... rather shocking research findings to become an expert in this field?" the old man cautiously asked.

His thinking wasn’t wrong; after all, who could have more convenient conditions to become a dinosaur research expert than Boss Yan? While others relied on roughing it in the wilderness, trudging through mud and digging through rocks, Boss Yan would be sitting comfortably indoors, surrounded by a team of helping hands, sipping Dinosaur Big Bone Soup, gnawing on delicious dinosaur meat while studying—could there be any comparison?

Yan Fei nodded.

"Then leave it to us to handle!" the old man suddenly felt that he had grasped the key point and jubilantly exclaimed. "We could come up with a detailed plan to make you an expert in this field as quickly as possible, then, according to different stages of the plan, prepare different papers for you. If you have time, you could provide some feedback on the effects produced after these articles are published, supply some of the latest research findings from human society today, and we could adjust the plan accordingly..."

Hmm, this didn’t sound too bad. Yan Fei somewhat approved; the old man was still useful.

"Academic fraud has always existed." Seeing that Yan Fei was pleased, the old man got even more excited and once again started hurtling down the path of doom.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man reacted swiftly, continuing the conversation and patching things up, "Of course, what you’re doing isn’t considered fraud, Boss. This isn’t for yourself, but for... all of humanity."

"The study of paleontology is also of great significance to the whole of human society. You are finding a more reasonable way for human society not to deviate from the correct path in paleontology, saving countless human and material resources. You know, even a single erroneous study..."

This flattery was a bit too blatant, which made Yan Fei somewhat exasperated: "Stop with the flattery, let’s focus on the matter at hand!"

"Of course, Boss, but how is this flattery? I’m just stating the facts." That was the middle-aged man’s talent; compared to the old man, not only could he fish for compliments, but also in such a... pleasant and seemingly reasonable manner!

"How the future of humanity will unfold is unknown to anyone; what the Earth will become is always something that everyone wants to know. By studying paleontology, humans can gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of existing life forms. It plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance and ensuring that humanity can continue on a path of sustainable development. Since you don’t like to hear it, Boss, I won’t say more. Dinosaur enthusiast, you continue with the plan, speak clearly..."

"Right, right, Boss, this is what I think..." Speaking of how to make Yan Fei, the big boss, become a renowned dinosaur research scholar in human society as quickly as possible, the old man was incredibly confident. Naturally, he was also aware that he had offended Boss Yan earlier, and now he ought to do his utmost.

He had spent his entire life engaged in research and knew the ins and outs of the research world like the back of his hand. Moreover, with so many researchers assisting him. It wasn’t an overstatement to say, living in this world of dinosaurs, they were surrounded by an endless supply of materials. If they combined their efforts to fabricate, even a literary noob or an idiot could be turned into a dinosaur expert...

So there was a saying that held true: professional matters should be left to the professionals!

Finally, the old man humbly added, "Boss, this is just my preliminary idea, the specific details still need to be discussed with the team."

The middle-aged man added, "We believe this is very meaningful work. As former members of human society, we are also striving for the development of human society. I will definitely inform all the researchers about your decision, Boss!"

Yan Fei reflected for a moment before he understood what that meant. The middle-aged man was indicating to the other researchers at the base that the Boss was doing this not for his own benefit but for an extremely, extremely great ideal—to avoid tarnishing his own mysterious and grand image among the researchers.

"It’s just tough on you, Boss, having to engage in activities to fish for compliments. Your greatness is something we can only continue to admire. Your contributions, made at the expense of your own reputation for the sake of all humanity, will surely be understood by mankind sooner or later..."

Hearing the middle-aged man start with the flattery again, Yan Fei quickly interrupted, "Alright, leave this matter to you. Let this dinosaur enthusiast assist you; you two are responsible for getting the plan ready. Come see me tomorrow night for a review."

If he let this fellow go on any longer, Boss Yan would truly start to believe that he was striving for the whole of humanity...
