From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

In the short time it took to walk to the professor's office.

Ye Xiao demonstrated a remarkable ability to accurately maximize his own interests while offending almost no one in numerous exchanges of benefits.

In his previous life as a businessman, he was, if not completely unable to make any progress in scientific research, then at least utterly incompetent.

But thanks to his previous experience, Ye Xiao was able to act as a mediator between the professors and his senior classmates.

It could even be said that apart from Professor Ehrlich and Ye Xiao, there was almost no one else indispensable in this laboratory.

After calming down his fellow disciples one by one, Ye Xiao, carrying a thick clay pot, gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Upon hearing the professor's instructions, he skillfully pushed open the door.

Erich, who was sitting behind a large oak desk, looked up and saw Ye Xiao walk in carrying a fragrant casserole.

His tall figure and slightly comical cautiousness made Erich laugh out loud.

"Ye, what are you up to today?"

"Professor, didn't you say the other day that when you were young and visited Dongda University, you ate a very delicious porridge in Guangnan?"

"oh?"

"I heard you didn't eat lunch again, so I brought this for you to try."

Upon hearing this, Erich perked up.

He certainly remembered saying it, but he didn't expect Ye Xiao to remember it as well.

After all, that was just a casual remark he made after scolding the students.

Ye Xiao smiled knowingly and placed the casserole on Erich's cherished oak table.

Upon opening the lid, an enticing cloud of white steam immediately wafts out.

"I got up very early to start cooking, and I also bought a Dungeness crab to add to it. I'm feeling just right now."

In the steaming hot white porridge, as delicate as white jade, plump, bright red shrimp and crabs are faintly visible. The green scallions garnished on top are like the finishing touch, creating an enticing scene.

Damn it, compared to Chinese food, American food is just sugary dog ​​shit!

It's not even as good as German sauerkraut, potatoes, sausages, or roasted pork knuckle!

"Damn, you're a fucking genius, Ye!"

Erich trembled as he took off his glasses, his voice filled with delight.

What usually moves people?

First, it's the respect and attention from others.

Ehrlich, who held a high position, was no longer bothered by this, and even felt some disgust.

Then came a sigh for the bygone days of youth.

The thrill of casually mentioning youthful grievances and tribulations, and having them meticulously recorded, brings a sense of accomplishment in leaving a lasting mark on history.

When people get old, isn't the point to leave something behind in this world?

Is this porridge that Ye Xiao brought over?

This was his bright future, and it also reflected Professor Ehrlich's nostalgia for the good old days!

Ye Xiao's considerate flattery hit Erich right where it hurts.

Although it was just a simple pot of shrimp and crab porridge, in Erich's heart it was more precious than any delicacy.

For Erich, that capricious old man.

Although Ye Xiao was not the smartest of all his students, he was the most outstanding of them all.

Erich even had a vague idea that Ye Xiao would become the leader of his lineage in the future.

What's the use of having good research skills?

If you don't understand these social etiquette rules, you'll be devoured by those old bastards sooner or later, leaving not even bones behind!

The examples of Edison and Tesla are laid bare before everyone.

Ehrlich, with all his knowledge, didn't want to be a pawn in someone else's game.

The small office was soon filled with the faint aroma of congee from a clay pot.

"Ye, don't do these things again next time."

Professor Ehrlich had a stern face and looked unapproachable.

"Okay, Professor, I understand."

Ye Xiao skillfully took out two sets of porcelain bowls from the cabinet next to him that originally contained papers, and scooped out two bowls of porridge.

"Ye, be careful lately."

Erich held the porcelain bowl, savoring the delicious porridge while reminding Ye Xiao.

"I heard things have been a bit unsettled at the police station these past few days; the FBI has arrested a lot of people."

"Just so the police station's salary isn't even enough to cover prostitution, so as not to get into trouble."

"Ahem!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao, who had been slowly drinking his porridge and chatting amiably, suddenly jumped up because he was scalded by the boiling porridge.

Ehrlich's old ideas are really something!

But if he knew that he had secretly orchestrated all of this, I wonder what his expression would be?

Never mind, the old man has a heart condition, let's not scare him.

If he causes trouble later, we can just expose him.

"Thank you for the reminder, Professor. I will pay attention."

Ye Xiao tore off two tissues to wipe his face, and suddenly noticed the letter on his desk.

It was a formal invitation to every highly respected professor in the school to participate in the school's New Year's activities, which theoretically could not be refused.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Professor, is the department planning a vacation to Alaska for you this semester?"

"snort!"

Erich was clearly unhappy when the matter was brought up.

"Damn it, those math guys are clamoring to go to Las Vegas, saying they want to put some bullshit like probability theory into practice."

"My neighbor said Alaska has beautiful scenery, so why not take a cruise? You can practice probability theory and go fishing at the same time."

"Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks they're playing!"

At this point, Erich slammed his fist on the table and angrily cursed in his native tongue.

"These scumbags just want to embarrass me and make me owe money!"

Ye Xiao noticed Erich's reaction and suddenly had an idea.

"Professor, I have an idea."

"oh?"

Erich glanced at Ye Xiao, his questioning gaze tinged with a hint of expectation.

Perhaps this child can indeed bring some surprises?

"It's just not convenient to say right now."

Ye Xiao smiled and tidied up the desk.

"You can go without worry. Don't you understand my methods?"

"are you serious?"

Erich's expression gradually became serious.

"Of course, don't worry. If I embarrass you, I'll drop out of school!"

"Haha, okay! I'll believe you this once!"

With Erich's laughter, Ye Xiao walked out of the office carrying a half-empty clay pot.

"Ye, what's going on inside? Why do I hear the professor banging on the table again?"

"Damn it, could it be because of me? I'm doomed, I'm really not going to graduate!"

"Ye, please, help your brother out! I have three kids to support!"

Faced with his senior brothers' pleas, Ye Xiao put down the casserole and spoke calmly.

"Listen carefully, we now have a golden opportunity."

Upon hearing this, the senior brothers' expressions changed, and they immediately became extremely serious.

The entire laboratory was extremely serious, as if they were listening to some high-level lecture.

"The professors are planning a cruise to Alaska soon, during which they'll be competing in fishing with other professors. If we can keep them happy, our semester will be a breeze!"

"Fishing? We don't know how!"

One of the senior students couldn't help but ask.

"Idiot! Who told you to go fishing?"

Ye Xiao retorted without hesitation, "I'm sending you to be the fish!"
