Ye Yi sat alone at the dining table, eating his meal at a leisurely pace.

He stood out as a complete oddity among all the researchers.

Because Ye Yi is young and has no sense of urgency.

People passing by would glance at Ye Yi with surprise before leaving.

Ye Yi commented that the food at the research institute was really good.

Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of Ye Yi.

Ye Yi took a closer look and realized it was Mr. Ma Yayuan.

"Hello, Mr. Ma." Ye Yi hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and then greeted him.

"No rush, no rush. Can I call you Little Yezi from now on?" Old Ma said kindly.

"Yes, that's fine," Ye Yi said.

"By the way, Little Yezi, how old are you now?" Old Ma couldn't help but ask.

"I'm already eighteen years old this year," Ye Yi said.

Immediately, Old Ma's eyes lit up, and he said with delight.

"Eighteen is great, eighteen is great. Do you have a girlfriend now?"

Ye Yi was somewhat speechless at the question, but he still answered seriously.

"I'm busy studying, I don't have time to find a girlfriend."

Old Ma's eyes lit up even more, and he said with a hint of excitement.

“I have a granddaughter who is beautiful and gentle, and definitely not clingy. What do you think?”

"Ah, Mr. Ma, this..." Ye Yi stared blankly at Mr. Ma.

At that moment, another figure appeared here.

"Old Ma, you've really gone all out. You've even used your precious granddaughter as a bargaining chip."

Just as Ye Yi was feeling awkward, Ye Qiushou appeared and came to Ye Yi's rescue.

"Old Ye, what are you saying? How could I use my granddaughter as a bargaining chip? I just wanted to let the two young people get to know each other," Old Ma retorted emotionally.

Seeing this, Ye Qiushou simply smiled and didn't continue speaking.

Mr. Ma did not ask any further questions.

The three of them stared at each other awkwardly for a while, and then Mr. Ma, feeling really embarrassed, got up to say goodbye.

After seeing Old Ma leave, Ye Qiushou sat down opposite Ye Yi and began to eat at a leisurely pace.

"Little Yezi, you really made your grandpa proud today."

Ye Qiushou praised.

Ye Yi touched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed.

At this moment, Ye Qiushou continued.

"Are you interested in biology? If you are, I, your grandpa, will decide that we won't go to school. You can just be my assistant."

"Ah." Ye Yi was stunned by Ye Qiushou's words.

Because he never expected that his grandfather would have such a thought.

However, after being stunned, Ye Yi fell into deep thought.

Seeing Ye Yi deep in thought, Old Master Ye didn't urge him, but ate his meal while waiting for Ye Yi to make a decision.

Professor Ye was very cheerful. If Ye Yi refused, Professor Ye would not force him, but he would try his best to cultivate Ye Yi's interest in biology.

After all, it would be a huge loss if someone with Ye Yi's talent didn't study biology.

After a short while, Ye Yi spoke up.

"I really like biology, but Grandpa wants..."

"Whatever you like. I'll take care of that old geezer," Old Ye suddenly said.

Ye Yi could only force a smile when his grandfather said that.

However, after making all the decisions, the two of them ate even faster.

After finishing his meal, Old Master Ye led Ye Yi toward a certain place.

Upon arriving at the location, Ye Yi saw Chen Mo waiting there.

Old Ye walked up to Chen Mo and said.

"Little Leaf, you can come with me to do research. Send someone back with him to get his clothes, and then bring them to my research area."

Hearing what Elder Ye said, Chen Mo was a little surprised, but he still nodded and responded.

Afterwards, Ye Yi followed a staff member from a research institute back home to get his clothes, and then headed to Ye Lao's research site.

Upon arriving at the location, Ye Yi looked around at the dense jungle and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The researchers noticed Ye Yi's confusion and offered an explanation.

"Professor Ye's research project is a key national secret project, which is why it was chosen to be located in such a secluded place."

"Oh, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Brother Li," Ye Yi said gratefully.

"It's nothing," the researcher said with a smile.

The two then arrived at a cave and entered it.

Ye Yi immediately sensed the tight security here.

Not only that, before Ye Yi entered the cave, he also sensed various forms of surveillance, and even several hidden snipers pointed their sniper rifles at him.

After passing through a hidden, high-tech door, Ye Yi walked through a deep passage.

They arrived at a room where Ye Yi and the accompanying researchers were sprayed with disinfectant and disinfected with ultraviolet light before finally entering a huge underground research base.

Old Master Ye was already waiting for Ye Yi at the door.

Upon seeing Ye Yi, Old Master Ye asked with a smile.

"So, were you scared by how tight security is here?"

"Yes, I was a little scared," Ye Yi said frankly.

"Yes. This is one of the country's most important research projects. So such tight security is normal."

Old Master Ye glanced at Ye Yi and continued speaking.

"Remember, I am a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Kingdom has raised us for our entire lives, and I will repay the Dragon Kingdom in the same way, understand?"

At this point, Old Master Ye's expression turned serious.

Ye Yi also spoke earnestly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I would never betray the country."

Hearing Ye Yi say this, Old Master Ye finally showed a satisfied smile.

"You'll stay by my side for the next few days and we'll take a look around together. Once you're a little more familiar with things, I'll arrange a small project for you to practice on."

"Okay, sure." Ye Yi hadn't expected to be assigned a major project right after arriving.

Ye Yi was even prepared to remain an assistant.

However, having a small project to work on now is already a pretty good option.

It's important to understand that many researchers may not even have enough time in their entire lives to lead a small project in a single country.

It has to be said that having a powerful backer makes all the difference.

However, Ye Yi also knew that his grandfather was willing to train him in this way because of his talent, so Ye Yi was determined to prove himself.

Next, Ye Yi immediately took on the role of assistant, taking turns accompanying Old Master Ye alongside a number of other assistants.

The reason for not following along all the way is to prevent assistants from knowing the details of the research project.

After all, most people, except for a very few, are unaware of such classified research projects.

Therefore, each person followed Master Ye for a period of time.

Looking at the researchers rushing around him, Ye Yi couldn't help but feel moved and filled with respect for these unsung heroes who made the country strong.

Because he is in this research base, he may rarely be able to spend time with his family.
