No one is a fool. Yang Xing also understood that for someone like Yan Fei, who had gained great prestige from just one or two heavyweight papers, especially when he had never published any significant articles in the scientific community and was unknown, it was quite normal to be looked down upon or envied.
Just like in the college entrance examination, a student who never ranked well suddenly scores an impressively high grade, some students who believe they studied hard might think that the person simply got lucky.
It's not just exams; in work and life, envy always surfaces. If some obscure individuals suddenly achieve something enviable, jealousy is inevitable.
