Hogwarts, this professor is too stable.

Mochir had heard of the alchemy class assistant, a senior named Reni Lehman.

When Mr. Lehman just graduated, he received a job as a Curse Breaker at Gringotts. His excellent knowledge and operational ability allowed him to do an outstanding job in that job. Later, his mentor established a laboratory and received an owl letter from the teacher. , he resolutely resigned and returned to the alchemy laboratory of Hogwarts.

He didn't want anyone to know these things, but in fact, these were no secrets in the teachers' common room at Hogwarts.

When Mochir found Mr. Lehman in a tavern in Hogsmeade Village, the middle-aged wizard was holding a bottle of "Eau of Life" (scientific name: Polish Distilled Vodka) in one hand. The other hand held a glass of butterbeer and was drinking heavily.

This scene is very funny, you know, the Spiatus he is holding in his left hand is a distilled vodka originally from Poland. With an alcohol content of 96%, it is the most alcoholic and potent wine in the world. Just a brief taste will make your lips numb and dehydrated instantly; but its taste is closest to water, which can easily make people careless. Most of them are used to make cocktails in bars. Adding any juice can make a wonderful cocktail. For example, adding tomato juice can make a Bloody Mary.

It can be said that if you want to commit suicide, Spiatus can let you die peacefully.

The butterbeer that I am sipping on my right hand is just a popular magical drink with foam. This kind of wine is loved by the students of Hogwarts. It has such a low alcohol content that even house elves cannot get drunk. .

So, does this senior brother want to live and die drunk in wine, or does he want to taste the taste of wine without stopping?

"Hello, senior brother, I am Mochir Cavendish, and I am..."

"I know you, little junior brother, the teacher's favorite disciple. He always praises your talent in the laboratory." Before Moqil could finish speaking, senior brother Lehman consciously took a handful from his hand. He grabbed the gift box, which contained a bottle of Earl Castellaret Bordeaux dry red wine.

He eagerly opened the gift box, rubbed the wine glass with his face, and kept sniffing the cork.

Moqil's brows wrinkled slightly. This senior brother didn't seem to like him very much...

"I smelled it from afar. I thought it belonged to a rich person. Oh...yes, yes, you know, our teaching assistants don't have much salary. I haven't bought myself a bottle for a long time. Good wine.”

In fact, this is not a very good wine.

Although he felt that the other party's attitude was unkind, Mochier's years of communication practice had taught him the skill of talking to people and talking to ghosts.

He smiled and said in a respectful tone: "Senior brother, I heard that after the teacher went to the East, you were also responsible for taking care of his alchemy laboratory. This is not an easy job. Didn't the teacher give you any extra subsidies?"

This sentence obviously touched the point of Lehman's words. Just from the fact that he drank a whole glass of butterbeer in a hurry, it can be seen that he couldn't wait to moisten his throat and then opened fire.

"Junior brother, you don't know. When the teacher was here, he often scolded us for our inability. He used you to motivate us all day long. As early as when you were in the fifth grade, he often said, 'Cavendish alone can beat ten of you. This is what I said..."

Good guy, Moqier quietly moved to the side, out of the direct attack distance of the opponent's fist. He really didn't expect that he had become someone else's child without knowing it!

I was still too young before and not stable enough!

But Mochir did not speak, but continued to wait.

"Look at me like this!" Lehman irritably tugged on his black standard wizard robe with several holes sewn into it, and said in a bad tone, "Junior brother, the teacher deceived me at the beginning. He said that I could make money every month when I came here. to 500 gold galleons, but look at me now, oh, doing work that is countless times heavier than before, and earning less than one-tenth of the salary before!"

Moqier secretly felt unworthy of this senior brother, but he did not pity him. It was just the path he chose. He could only blame him for choosing the wrong path in the first place.

Can you listen to the professor? Not to mention those old foxes who have become spirits, he probably can't fight even a little fox like Moqier.

It's not that Moqil is arrogant and looks down on the other person. He won't look down on anyone. It's just that Moqil has seen too many people in his two lives, and in this life, he was a natural Legilimency.

He knew that the seemingly kind elders were almost all Lao Yinbi. The tricks those people had seen might be longer than the road you had walked. On their way forward, they killed countless enemies and even loved ones. Relatives, friends, and brothers are the only way to achieve your current status.

Therefore, it is Moqil's consistent rule of thumb to not have deep friendships with people. He will never trust someone unconditionally, or even cut off his own escape route.

You can use your toes to figure out why this senior brother didn't change careers. He resigned and offended Gringotts. Now that he has left Hogwarts and can hardly find a satisfactory job in his original industry, he can only be chained here. .

Like Moqil, during the relationship with the teacher, he can write papers for him, and the other party can teach him the knowledge of alchemy. The two-way bond of interests is the most stable.

"Brother, I plan to set up a laboratory of my own. In fact, the reason I came to see you this time is to ask you for advice on how to apply for an independent laboratory."

Moqil smiled, and the harmless look on his face made Lehman subconsciously think of this junior fellow apprentice as a young boy who had just come out of society. He couldn't help but strike, "But do you have money?"

"Of course, senior brother." Moqier continued to smile brightly. He had just used Legilimency on this senior brother. There is nothing to say about his professional skills. As far as alchemy is concerned, he is a qualified tool man. , "Senior brother, I am currently applying for research funds at Hogwarts. Professor Flitwick is the leader. You know, the dean wants to approve a magic research project that costs more than you can drink a glass of butterbeer." It’s easy, and I’m going to go out and take on some lateral projects, which is enough for the preliminary operation of our laboratory.”

(Note: Horizontal projects are short-term projects, commonly known as "making quick money"; vertical projects are research output projects like funds that take several years to complete, and making money is not the main purpose.)

In fact, Professor Flitwick hasn't agreed yet, and Mochir hasn't even told him about his idea of ​​setting up a laboratory to go it alone, but what's the deal? Brother Lehman doesn't know Legilimency, so what should he be afraid of?

One pie was not enough, and Moqier was planning to draw a bigger pie. "Brother, why don't you come over to us? I have both teaching tasks and scientific research tasks, and I also have to prepare various laboratory tasks." I’m really busy with stuff, so you’ll do the horizontal projects I receive, and you’ll manage the funds. I dare not say too much, but I can promise you 5% of the profit for completing a horizontal project.”

This was what Moqil had planned when he was doing Legilimency. Now that the boss of the Alchemy Laboratory is away, this senior brother has sole authority to act as his agent. Then Moqil will use his reputation as a professor and his relationship with Professor Flitwick to take on some horizontal projects. , it would be easy to complete the project by first borrowing the equipment from the alchemy laboratory.

And the most important thing is that although this senior brother does not have a high emotional intelligence, his ability to work is really strong. Just like when the alchemy laboratory was established, he slept for three hours in a month, catching up on various materials and notebooks. Model worker!

Only sufficient benefits can attract others to sincerely work for you.

Of course, only those with enough black heart can make money.

Lehman put down his wine glass and shook his head noncommittally. He couldn't tell whether he agreed or not. After all, he was an old man who had been deceived once. No matter how low his emotional intelligence was, he still had some basic vigilance.

"Come, junior brother, let me tell you about setting up a laboratory first. When you get the research funds and horizontal projects, senior brother will definitely support you fully."

As expected, he is a real science and engineering man, and he speaks so straightforwardly.

The attitude changed in an instant. In addition to the following words, a simple translation is that I am very satisfied with this condition, but I have to take another look to evaluate whether you are really valuable?

But Moqier doesn't care, just like he now wants to recruit the female doctor named Zhang Xue. What kind of emotional intelligence does a researcher need? Isn't it enough that he can do the job?

Mochir happily sat next to Lehman. Come, come, come, senior brother, I will draw you the sweetest flower cake.

Oh, that's a mistake. Come again - I'll tell you a story about the future.
