Chapter 1084: Chapter 562: The Secretary Encourages, Someone is Shameless

At the construction site, a dispute had arisen, and although Secretary Jiao hurried over, he found that the conflict hadn’t escalated too much, so he didn’t push his way through the crowd—Yan Fei, the big boss, was following behind. If he stepped in to handle the situation, it would seem like overstepping, and his own authority might not be as high as Yan Fei’s here.

When everyone saw Yan Fei coming, all eyes turned to him, especially Xiaosong and Lin Haihu, the two parties involved. Seeing Yan Fei approach was like seeing their dependable person, waiting for him to step in and take charge.

On the other side, Yan Fei’s uncle and grandfather were hurrying over—their expressions clearly showed they were extremely annoyed. Lin Haihu was supposed to be working with the construction team from Shanglin Village, but they didn’t expect that, in an unguarded moment, he would slip away and get into trouble.

Yan Fei didn’t wait for his uncle and grandfather to arrive, or even give Lin Haihu and Xiaosong a chance to speak, before he began scolding them, "I heard everything. One made a mistake, and the other wanted to cover it up, and the one who erred didn’t even appreciate the favor, causing a commotion that the whole site knows about. Don’t you both realize how embarrassing this is?"

After the scolding, he gave his verdict, "I think neither of you should work at this construction site anymore. Go to the farm and keep Brother Chao company feeding the cows. Starting tonight, you two are in charge of cleaning up the cow dung, and you can sleep when it’s all done. Keep at this until you’ve settled your differences. Now get lost, and stop making a scene here!"

Lin Haihu opened his mouth to say something, but Yan Fei glared at him, "If you don’t want to listen to me, then don’t come to me for help in the future. Do whatever you want, you’re my brother, and I can’t control you..."

This fellow had spent a month at the cattle farm last year, which turned out to be the longest time the two brothers had spent together, getting to know each other deeply. Lin Haihu knew what Yan Fei was like at the farm: if he was willing to hear others’ opinions, he would listen, but if he wasn’t, his word was final and no one could object.

Now, seeing signs that Yan Fei was getting angry, Lin Haihu hung his head low, said nothing, and walked away with his head down.

As for Xiaosong, he never argued with Yan Fei usually, and had already prepared himself to obediently go and feed the cows.

Before the two had walked far, Yan Fei addressed the workers around who were looking over, "You all saw that, no matter who it is, those who break the rules will not be kept at the site. These two—one from my farm and one my cousin—got the job of shoveling cow dung. You’d better think carefully; if you break the rules, you won’t get such a good deal. Stop gawking, and get back to work!"

Everyone stopped looking on and buried themselves in their work—those were relatives of the boss; we have no such ties, so if we mess up and get kicked out, we’d probably have to go home and watch others make money! Who would willingly get into a situation where you lose face and money?

At that moment, Yan Fei’s uncle Lin Xiuqing and grandfather finally rushed over. His uncle wasn’t good with words, and was shamefaced because his son had made a mistake. He didn’t know what to say, whereas his grandfather approached Yan Fei and said, "That’s how they should be dealt with. You handled it well. We’re off to continue our work now!"

Yan Fei also comforted them, "Don’t worry, the two of them might reconcile in no time. It’s no big deal. It won’t affect our brotherly bond, so go on and get busy!"

Just as they were about to leave, Yan Fei suddenly remembered something and spoke up to everyone, "Let’s all put in more effort and work hard. Today, our construction site has a special visitor. The county’s party secretary, Secretary Jiao, took time out of his weekend to come visit and encourage us all. Let’s welcome Secretary Jiao and listen to what he has to say!"

Luckily, Heizi and his group were also approaching because of the dispute and were not far off, or else Boss Yan would have made a fool of himself this time.

The workers were honest farmers who rarely saw high-ranking officials. They cooperated well during the previous groundbreaking ceremony because they were specifically instructed by the cattle farm staff, and many onlookers from the town could keep up with the response.

But now, when these workers heard about a big official from Yan Fei—in their eyes, the county party secretary was indeed a big official—they didn’t immediately react to applaud until Heizi and the others started clapping. Then everyone else hurriedly dropped their tools and joined in the applause.

Secretary Jiao wasn’t expecting Yan Fei to suddenly make the announcement, but he definitely wasn’t shy in this situation. Although he didn’t have Yan Fei’s booming voice, he stepped forward onto a mound of earth, gestured for everyone to stop clapping, and then spoke up loudly, "What we are building here is one of the top cattle farms in our province. Once this cattle farm is completed, we will all be its contributors."

"Don’t think that we’re just earning a wage and nothing more concerns us. Think about it—if the cattle farm continues to grow, won’t we need even more people from our township to work for Boss Yan?"

"You all have seen it, there’s a beef jerky processing factory over there, and it’s bigger than before. In the future, let’s not mention anything else, but the people of Sancha River won’t have to worry about having no place to sell their cattle, right? And everyone knows what kind of person Boss Yan is: first, he won’t cheat us on the price, and second, he won’t take advantage when we urgently need money for emergencies at home. Our cattle can be turned into cash whenever we need it. Now, isn’t that a great thing?"
