Every day is one step closer to reality

Feng Yi came back with his auction items. He kept the love painting that was sold at a high price, and he took the gift painting and put it in the collection hall.

In the collection hall, Feng Yi specially set aside a place to display the story background items related to ancestors collected from all over the world. There are objects with pictures that I bought when I went to play everywhere in the past, and there are also more obscure objects, such as meteorites.

The gift painting I got from participating in the Mingyao charity auction this time is also placed together with the ones I collected before.

After putting the painting away, Feng Yi quietly looked at the image painted by his tender brush.

The "monster" in it shows his teeth and claws, looking like a villain. If you take it alone, he will definitely be a negative character.

But why did Feng Yi think that in this story, the ancestors were "teasing" the villagers instead of being domineering and oppressing the people?

Young children draw with their own explicit emotions, and their emotional reactions vary depending on the story they hear.

In the story depicted in this painting, this "monster" is naughty and can play pranks, but it has not really harmed the villagers. Therefore, when children draw, they will be a little timid about strange species. , and more curiosity.

And not fear.

They are both demons, but the child's reaction to Monkey King is different from that of the black bear spirit.

The same snake spirit, listening to "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" has different emotional reactions from the villain snake spirit in Journey to the West.

Stories guide their emotions.

Feng Yi looked at the "monster" in the painting with exaggerated facial features as described by a child, and thought:

If this story really happened, and if it was really one of his ancestors, did this ancestor cheat and drink there?

Well, I have a chance to visit that village.

Looking away, Feng Yi looked at the other objects with pictures placed here.

Some of these pictures may be purely fictitious, while others may actually happen. It has gone through varying degrees of artistic processing, and its authenticity has been greatly reduced. But as long as there is a little bit of reality, Feng Yi can experience it up close. The rich and colorful things that happened in a certain era and that the ancestors may have had. life.

Although they are no longer here, they left behind many legends.

In those ancient times, there was no developed information and communication. Even if you showed up in one place, it would only be limited to a certain place. The speed of news dissemination, as well as folk superstitions and various exaggerated stories and legends, will gradually disappear the authenticity of things, which are good protective layers.

Unlike now, if someone reveals his true identity somewhere, the whole world will know about it within an hour!

The risks are different, so I don’t dare to expose them!

Feng Yi sighed and left the collection hall.

Not long after returning home, Feng Yi received a call from the director of the Expert Committee of the Joint Security Bureau.

"Another foreign exchange meeting? Didn't I just attend a seminar? This exchange meeting is unnecessary, right? Other more suitable experts can go there!" Feng Yi said.

He didn't want to participate, but the committee director still recommended Feng Yi to go.

"I want you to tell me about those rare images taken in the tropical rainforest... Do you know how many people are interested in the contents of your photos? You can take a look at how many sincere emails you have in your mailbox. unread mail!"

Feng Yi didn't look.

The director added: "After the recommended quota for the exchange meeting is drawn up, it needs to be reviewed, which will take at least two days, but it will be approved as soon as your name is submitted. Do you understand what I mean? Can you see the expectations for you there?"

Feng Yi still remained silent.

The director continued: "They are particularly looking forward to you telling your story about your trip to the tropical rainforest. There are so many questions they want to discuss with you. This is like a sentence in ancient Chinese. When analyzing it, different people have different perspectives and understandings. .

"It's the same here. Different people have different ideas about the same picture. People who observe it with their own eyes at close range and people who only look at the photographed picture will of course have different understandings. Therefore, professors who study related fields are especially looking forward to you. If you can go, they have many questions they want to discuss with you in depth!”

Feng Yi rubbed his brows.

Discuss Shenma? !

And "many questions"!

Seeing that Feng Yi remained silent, the director's voice became gentle and sincere: "From your perspective, it is very beneficial to participate in such exchanges and discuss with outstanding researchers from other countries. I have suggested that you can continue to deepen your knowledge and foundation. For example, improve your academic qualifications in a targeted way. If you can communicate more with famous professors, you can also obtain more academic resources. You may consider it."

The director was also helpless when encountering Feng Yi. After all, Feng Yi was rich, capable, and irreplaceable, so conventional persuasion methods were useless. But Feng Yi's background is really weak. He has no first author paper and his university major is not suitable. In this situation, the further he goes, the more doubts he will face.

Here, Feng Yi finished his conversation and sat on the terrace, meditating.

He knew what the director meant, and the director hoped that he could improve in a direction, preferably by publishing a few more papers as the first author.

This...academic upgrade from easy mode to hard mode?

He has read the papers published by those powerful researchers, but there is no comparison. The gap is too big.

I feel like I don’t have enough brain power...

Feng Yi thought quietly for a long time.

"Hey! Don't even think about me!"

I'm quite cheating too!

They and I are different kinds of cheats!

Feng Yi called the director back and he went to attend the exchange meeting. However, unlike what the director thought, Feng Yi had his own plan.

From the very beginning, his goal was to develop the advanced database of the Federal Bureau of Protection, and he did not value the academic influence. The Joint Insurance Bureau only looks at ability and comprehensive evaluation, and the paper does not play a decisive role.

Feng Yi will deepen his knowledge, but that will not occupy his main energy.

It doesn't take much time to attend an exchange meeting. Although he is a little less confident when facing these powerful researchers, his time writing supplementary materials is not in vain!

Feng Yi took a long, relaxed breath.

Suddenly I felt like a real "expert" and was gradually accepted by the real academic circle.

It seems that his identity as a wild child has not been mentioned for a long time.

Well, before delving into the tropical rainforest, he needs to do a deep study of the marks left by his ancestors!

In the house, everyone is preparing for the trip.

When Feng Yi took the picture of the black diamond, he decided to go to the island, and the preparations started immediately after returning.

Arrangements for the entourage: Xiao Yi stays at home, there are still some things that he needs to deal with. Others, including the housekeeper, went with Feng Yi this time.

Feng Yi was worried that the housekeeper was old and would not be able to bear the burden of traveling back and forth. Moreover, many buildings on the island have been demolished, and the accommodation conditions are far worse than before. This old man who is very particular about all aspects may not be able to adapt.

But the housekeeper insisted on going to see it.

He wanted to see if his design plan for the island had been misinterpreted and distorted by the construction team!

After leaving for a while, Feng Yi was in a good mood when he came to the first island he bought again.

Although the infrastructure here has not yet been completed, the mood is relaxed and the air smells of freedom.

The island was clean and tidy, and a large amount of money was spent on renting a transport plane to transport all the construction waste away.

The construction team had just finished the first phase of work, and Feng Yi gave the workers a few days off. He took advantage of this time to come to the island for "archaeology."

The construction team evacuated, and only Xiao Xin was waiting at the airport on the island.

Xiao Xin's degree of external rejection has eased a little now. After all, he now has a precise goal and direction of efforts. He is willing to try to contact more people and soften the tone of external communication.

When Feng Chi and the others were recording a program here, Xiao Xin, as the top manager here, had to communicate with the people on the program team.

Feng Yi learned from Feng Chi the impression the program crew had on Xiao Xin: he is relatively cold-blooded, but has good character and is very responsible.

Compared with before, Xiao Xin's social anxiety level has been greatly improved. It can be seen that Xiao Xin is really working hard during this period and adapting quickly.

Normal people make more eye contact than before, and they look at each other when speaking instead of averting their eyes. I also speak Chinese more fluently than before.

He has been able to communicate in a normal human manner in a relatively natural manner.

"Thank you!" Feng Yi said to Xiao Xin with a smile.

Facing Feng Yi, the look in Xiao Xin's eyes was completely different from when she faced other people just now. Instead of the stiff politeness, she was a little excited and spoke faster: "What I should do! The accommodation room has been tidied up. Good, but poor conditions.”

"As long as you can live in it. Oh, pay more attention to the housekeeper and prepare some things later. I'll go over there and have a look. You say hello to your colleagues first. There is a new colleague this time."

Feng Yi went to see the temporarily arranged accommodation. Xiao Xin faced other colleagues. Although he was not as cheerful as before, he was still quite friendly.

The new employee Xiao Ren looked at Xiao Xin, who was said to have some social phobia.

He is indeed very strong, different from Xiao C's kind of strong, and fits the description of "bronze steak" in Xiao C's mouth.

Xiao Ren took the initiative to come over. In the process, her tone of voice, demeanor, pace of steps, facial micro-expressions, and the angle of the corners of her mouth were almost exactly the same as those of Feng Yi just now. The smile in her eyes seemed to have been finely tuned:

"Hello."

Xiao Xin's attitude became visibly colder, and his tone was stiff: "Hello."

Xiao Ren raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm new here, you can call me Ating. I want to ask, in your eyes, are there any similarities between me and the boss?"

Xiao Xin didn't hesitate at all: "No."

Xiao Ren: "Not at all? Tone? Demeanor? Momentum?"

Xiao Xin: "No."

Xiao Ren: "Why? I think I imitated him very well! Is it the hairstyle that made you look weird?"

Xiao Xin: "The species are different."

Xiao Ren thought for a moment and realized: "It is true that species are different. In front of people who know the truth, don't think about crossing species. No matter how much a cat barks like a dog, it is still a cat."

Xiao Xin looked stiff.

Xiao Ren: "Give me some reaction. Do you mean what I said?"

Xiao Xin grimaced: "No! I didn't say the boss was a dog!"

The tone was extremely firm.

"Me neither..."

Xiao Ren sensed something was wrong and saw Xiao Xin's eyes glancing behind him. Her heart tightened and she slowly turned around.

I saw the butler's smiling eyes.

Xiao Ren: "..."

When did you come here? !

Aren't you following the boss to see where you can live? !

Xiao Ren was called over by the kind-looking housekeeper to talk.

Xiao Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly went to find Feng Yi. Sure enough, he still prefers to communicate with his boss.

After Feng Yi saw the temporary residence, he walked with Xiao Xin on the island and listened to what he said about what happened on the island during this period.

When only facing Feng Yi, Xiao Xin's language expression ability was much stronger than at other times.

Feng Yi learned about the situation from the island manager. Generally speaking, everything went according to plan and everything went smoothly.

After saying this, Xiao Xin looked confused: "I wonder if there were too many activities on the island during this period. The variety show team rented this place to record the show, and then the construction team started the renovation work. So far, although they have paid great attention to Protected, but..."

Xiao Xin looked towards the beach not far away.

"Although the surrounding seawater area is still very clean, I always feel that it lacks vitality compared to the seawater I saw when I first came here."

This discovery made Xiao Xin very stressed all the time, worrying that her work was not in place.

However, the pollution test of seawater was not detected.

Others might suspect that they saw it wrong and it was an illusion.

Xiao Xin believed in his discovery.

Is it caused by external factors? Or are there other reasons that cannot be explained by common sense?

Now that the island owner is back, he will reveal this discovery.

"Vitality?" Feng Yi looked at the sea.

No other abnormalities.

I quickly realized that what Xiao Xin was talking about should be the little active factor contained in sea water, right?

Feng Yi thought about some abnormal phenomena that might be caused by studying black diamonds tonight. According to past experience, the active factors accompanying the dissipated energy might make the sea water here full of vitality again.

"Don't worry, it's not about your work. You'll see about it tomorrow."

Although the black diamond has not been analyzed yet, through instinct, Feng Yi knew what might happen.

So, when everyone was eating together, Feng Yi said to several people:

"Everyone should close the doors and windows when sleeping at night and do not go out."

Everyone looked at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing else. It's just that there may be strong convective weather at night. I remind everyone to pay attention to protection."

Xiao Jia and others nodded skillfully: "Okay, I'll go see what needs to be put into the warehouse later."

Xiao Ren, a new employee who didn't know much about the other side of his boss, ate in silence.

"Strong Convective Weather"

When Xiao Ren returned to the room after dinner, she looked at the sky outside.

He is not an expert in meteorology, but he has learned a lot about it before.

The weather doesn't look like strong convection is going to happen soon.

The sea water sets off the sunset, bringing with it the tranquility and romance that belongs to the sea.

The last ray of sunset sank into the horizon. The employees stopped wandering around and stayed peacefully in their rooms.

Xiao Ren packed up her things and walked to the window to feel the airflow outside.

Didn't feel anything.

He closed the window, but he didn't put on the headphones like Xiao Jia and the others.

As a professional stand-in, he has to observe all this quietly!

I haven’t followed you for a long time, and I discovered that there are three more cute hosts.

Thanks to the cute host bendachu, the shadow of the moon reflects the snow, and a leaf can make a boat!

Thank you also to all book friends for your tips and votes!

Thank you for your support!

Confidence boosted!
