Chapter 1082: Chapter 561 Secretary Jiao Comes to Work_3

"Really!" Yan Fei waved his hand with awesome confidence. "Ever heard of the phrase ’photographic memory’? I’m not much different from that. Although I’ve been raising so many cattle, I never brag. Memorizing a few books is really no big deal. If you don’t believe it... With so many people on this construction site, just point someone out, and I can tell you which village they’re from. I didn’t make a special effort to remember; just by having a few words with everyone as they arrived, I should have a pretty accurate memory..."

Both of them were stunned for a while, still finding it a bit hard to believe.

"Photographic memory" seems fine when you’re just talking big, but when you actually see a living, breathing person in front of you claiming they have a photographic memory, it’s astounding—not that Yan Fei went as far as to say he had one himself.

"No wonder, no wonder..." Secretary Jiao had seen more of the world and reacted much quicker than Secretary Xiao Zhao. However, he really didn’t know what to say, no wonder this guy spoke so casually about going to college—turns out he really had the confidence!

Secretary Xiao Zhao took a while to catch on, looking envious and resentful: "Brother Fei, can you really never forget anything you see? You’re so awesome! When I first heard you started a cattle farm, some people said you must be a genius. Now I see... they were right..."

Are you too excited to talk properly?

Yan someone was going to college to be a Docter, and now he barely went to school. When the time came for him to go to university, others would definitely speculate wildly. Better to leak the news now; by then, everyone would think it abnormal only if Yan Fei didn’t get into college, preventing any gossip in the future.

In the past, most of the college entrance exam content couldn’t stray far from textbooks. With the ability of photographic memory, as long as one put in a bit of effort, getting into college wouldn’t be difficult.

Secretary Jiao, however, was still worried about him becoming complacent: "Even if you’re confident, you should remain steady. I see everything here is well-organized, with Professor Shu overseeing the big picture and so many people helping you. If you can find the time, you should still attend school to catch more lessons..."

Yan Fei chuckled: "I’ve already thought about it. Isn’t there a bonus points policy in place? I’m considering joining in some event to earn some points, maybe snag twenty points to start with!"

"Hehe!" Secretary Jiao couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. "You’ve thought it through pretty well. What event are you looking to participate in?"

"I haven’t asked around yet!" Yan Fei’s response gave away his game. "I’ll check it out later; no rush. Anyway, I think I’d have no problem with any of the sports events..."

Secretary Jiao pondered for a moment: "That’s true!"

Secretary Xiao Zhao didn’t say anything, but his face might as well have had two big words written on it, screaming: Shameless!

You already have a photographic memory, and now you’re competing with those pitiable students who burn the midnight oil studying for the exams, fighting over those bonus points. Could you be any more shameless?

Who doesn’t know that you’re a Kung Fu master? Not sure how good, but it’s said that you even broke the iron latch on the Forestry Bureau’s gate, and there’s been more than just one or two criminals left handicapped by you. Just with this alone, without any need to take other events, let’s just say that for the Warrior certification in the Sanshou category, you’d probably flatten the coach with a slap!

After his contemplation, Secretary Xiao Zhao scanned the bustling construction site again and couldn’t help but secretly add in his heart: And besides, you’re so rich!

Comparing oneself to others will only end in frustration!

Mumbling to himself, Secretary Xiao Zhao’s gaze shifted to Secretary Jiao: I might not be capable myself, but Secretary Jiao is a good official. I hope he keeps climbing the ranks, so I can also bask in the reflected glory...

Secretary Jiao didn’t pay much attention to such minor rumors, and people generally didn’t talk about them in front of him. He knew that Yan Fei knew some Kung Fu, having caught so many criminals, but he wasn’t too familiar with the specifics.

He spoke with some concern: "Are you sure about this? You’re so busy now, do you still have time to exercise? If you really want to take the test, you need to start working hard in advance. Find some time to train properly; don’t let your Kung Fu skills slip!"

I could swim with the sharks and fly with the eagles already; why bother with more training!

Yan Fei muttered to himself, but his reply was obliging: "Mhmm, mhmm, I’ve been practicing all along actually!"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, a commotion arose from a distance. Yan Fei immediately stopped talking and looked over in that direction.

Secretary Jiao noticed too and took the lead to walk over: "Let’s go, let’s go see..."

Before they could reach the crowd that had gathered, Yan Fei had already made out what happened.

It was that troublemaker Lin Haihu.

There weren’t many rules on the construction site, but aside from safety, there was one in particular that needed special attention: do not drink unboiled water.

In the blazing heat, it was a common habit among the villagers to scoop a ladle of water from the jar when thirsty and gulp it down, or to drink water drawn directly from the well.

This was quite prevalent; as village schools didn’t supply tea or water, there was a well in the schoolyard where students brought bottles with strings to school. When thirsty, they’d lower the bottle into the well, pull up the water, and drink from the bottle straight away.

Especially in villages with pump wells used for irrigation, people would often drink the freshly extracted water directly. Add a little sugar, and drinking it was blissful. It felt more refreshing than any ice-lolly or ice cream, like every single pore in your body was exhaling relief...
