Chapter 1069: Chapter 556: Boss Ma Learns Secretly: Using Taxes to Offset Rent

Before they knew it, another day had passed, and at the cattle farm, everyone except Yan Fei was no longer able to stay calm.

Everyone had gathered up their strength, ready to show off their skills, but why hadn’t the county sent any news yet? What price do they want for the land, either say yes or no, give us a clear answer at least!

Boss Yan had told everyone that once construction begins, everyone from the farm would have to go to the construction site to supervise.

As for the work at the cattle farm, the tricycle riders at the bus station, the laborers often running around carrying bags and unloading trucks on the streets, and those from the nearby villages who often came looking for work with eager legs, all had rich experience working in the cattle farm, and now they didn’t need any instructions and could be called upon at a moment’s notice.

Seeing Heizi and the others as if their minds were being scratched by a cat, restless and unable to sit still, Yan Fei caught them and severely scolded them, "This is an opportunity for you to train. You can’t even manage yourselves now. When the workers arrive, you’re supposed to coordinate and manage them. Can you handle it? Whoever remains restless, I’ll have him keep Brother Chao and the mute company!"

These words had great power. Ma Chao was always like an old workhorse on the farm, arriving earliest and working the hardest, but he didn’t like to manage others. When Yan Fei arranged for everyone to supervise, he volunteered to stay on the farm to continue brewing wine and feeding cattle.

Old Gao also wasn’t keen on going out, but Yan Fei had said that with that face of his, he didn’t even need to talk, just showing up guaranteed an effect better than others—everyone in Sancha County knew about the reformed convict from the cattle farm who had two lives on his hands, who not only looked fierce but also knew Kung Fu, truly ferocious. Next to him, those small-time gangsters who strutted around the streets looked downright laughable, like tiny grasshoppers no matter how much they hopped around.

Actually, everyone had noticed that this guy and Lin Yumei had shown signs of a budding romance. It was just that Lin Yumei’s daughter had just been admitted to high school, so before the exams, the two didn’t dare say anything. After the exams, with Fang Xiaoqing around the farm every day, the two were very discreet, probably waiting for Fang Xiaoqing to go off to school, then they might continue developing their relationship.

Speaking of these two, they weren’t bad either. Lin Yumei, having had a daughter, didn’t have a high status at home before she was widowed, and Fang Xiaoqing’s father treated them poorly, affecting the whole family’s attitude toward them. As a result, the man hadn’t been dead long before these two lost their standing at home.

Although Old Gao had a bit of a bad reputation, he was a straight shooter. His killing had been accidental in the first place, and he wasn’t a bad person by nature, despite having spent many years in prison.

Though sometimes a bit slow-witted, that could be forgiven; after all, he had been young when he went to prison and hadn’t been honed by society. Besides being slow, he wasn’t brainless or stubborn.

While others on the farm were somewhat happy to see their relationship succeed, nobody really could say much about it. The group either was too old or too young, with no suitable peers to truly speak candidly, so things just had to take their natural course.

In fact, everyone understood that building such a large project as River Heart Island with just the current staff from the farm was impossible. Eventually, they might be assigned by Yan Fei to manage segments independently; right now, their eagerness was merely an attempt to test and train their own capabilities.

Of course, who wouldn’t look forward to working on River Heart Island, which seemed like its own independent kingdom? There, the space was large and everything felt open, unlike the current cattle farm where the number of cattle kept increasing, and despite efforts to clean up, it was impossible to completely eliminate the stench of cow dung!

However, people like Lin Yumei and Xiang Rui would certainly not exhibit their expectations as prominently as Heizi and the others did.

After sorting out things at the farm, Yan Fei was to drive Chen Yingjun home.

Boss Chen’s restaurant had just opened a few days ago, and yet he had hardly been present. Only he could manage to be so unreliable. But he wasn’t worried—those who visited the restaurant were either rich or prestigious, and he wasn’t afraid of troublemakers. Besides, having been in the underworld for so long, he still had friends who could keep an eye on things for him.

However, having friends look after it didn’t mean he could always be absent. Originally, he wanted to linger a few more days because he was seriously charmed by that female graduate student who could send him running away with just a few words—such is human nature, inexplicably nasty. Anyway, it was a cycle of fleeing, then returning, being chased away, and returning again—persistently pestering in a shameless manner...

But upon hearing that Professor Shu would stay as the chief engineer, naturally, that girl who was always cold to him would remain too. So, he planned to rush home for a quick visit then come back.

As he was about to leave, he was still a bit unsure and repeatedly instructed Yan Fei, "Brother Fei, you have to watch out for me. I noticed there’s a boy with glasses who seems to have ill intentions towards her. You gotta watch my back, brother, and make sure they don’t get a chance to be alone..."

People are shameless like that, acting as if he himself wasn’t a toy boy? As if he had any good intentions. Yet, when he spoke, he had an air of righteousness that, to the uninformed, might make it seem like he genuinely cared for others—though wasn’t he just like the guy with glasses, both trying to take that girl home?

Yan Fei couldn’t be bothered to respond, so he just waved his hand and told him to get lost.
