Chapter 1089: Chapter 564: The Sudden Phone Call

"Over there they’re starting to construct the zoo, just building a few dens inside and an iron fence around the outside, it’s pretty straightforward, so I let them start work already!" Yan Fei pointed towards a piece of empty land that didn’t even have its foundation dug yet.

"What’s being built now is a beef jerky factory. Once it’s completed, we’ll move the factory from over there to here. That other place is a greenhouse; this one is quick, in a few days we can start putting in materials to grow mushrooms and raise earthworms."

"..."

Yan Fei spoke enthusiastically. Xu Xiaoyan had already roughly figured out why Tang Wan was here, and seeing Yan Fei playing dumb and pretending to be confused, she giggled along, while Chen Yingjun looked at Tang Wan and could only offer a wry smile.

There are always uninvited and unwelcome guests, like Chen Yingjun, who was clearly here to cause trouble, along with his companion Tang Wan, who had absolutely no business with Yan Fei at all.

Yan Fei had a simple way to deal with them; since they claimed to come to watch his work start on the base, he took them around to see for themselves.

Did these two really feel like watching a construction site?

Chen Yingjun’s gaze floated around the working crowd, hoping to spot the figure that made it impossible for him to stay at home, while Tang Wan seemed lost in a daze, occasionally staring at Xu Xiaoyan’s wrist— it was summer and she was dressed lightly. On her wrist, a bracelet of black pearls shimmered in the sunlight against her fair skin, looking mysteriously exquisite.

Though Yan Fei could produce many such things, the girl only favored this particular bracelet, and also a coin necklace around her neck—this was Yan Fei’s first gift to her, which she cherished dearly. Despite having more and more possession now, she couldn’t bear to part with items attached to memories.

It’s like how tofu vendors will cut the middle part of the tofu for regulars, the same principle as butchers saving the best ribs for known customers. Everyone knows the center of the tofu is the softest and the rib meat the tastiest.

This principle holds true in any profession around the world; insiders always know the best items in their own line of business, just like the people from Sancha River think that the black pearl bracelet that Boss Yan got for his wife looks pretty and probably isn’t something cheap from a street stall.

But how valuable the bracelet really is, few could actually say— in fact, most people who didn’t know any better guessed as such simply because Yan Fei was considered wealthy and wouldn’t give his wife something cheap.

They didn’t know that the girl actually rarely used expensive items, such as the clothes she wore— a yellow shirt, white trousers, and white sandals, all together costing just a few dozen yuan.

Others thought the girl looked exceptionally vibrant in these clothes, as attractive as a freshly picked scallion. Yan Fei didn’t think so; to him, their views were wrong—it was only because his wife was naturally beautiful and looked good in anything.

So as far as taste goes, you can’t just cultivate it on demand; the natural environment also limits people’s horizons.

Just like Tang Wan had been around jewelry since childhood; if you asked her about buying tofu, she might not be aware of the ’center tofu’ concept. But she specializes in her field, and her judgment on Xu Xiaoyan’s bracelet was spot on.

If it hadn’t been for that black pearl bracelet, knowing Miss Tang’s temperament, seeing Yan Fei merely using the inspection of the construction site as an excuse to waste time, she probably couldn’t have held back.

But now, she had to endure, because from that heart-shaped black pearl, to the one that was crushed as a ’piece of evidence’, to the bracelet currently worn by Miss Xu Xiaoyan that clearly wasn’t new—Miss Tang was now certain that this remarkable Boss Yan must have some unknown channel to obtain black pearls.

As when Yan Fei went to buy scrap metal and saw how much rusted iron lay wasted at the steel mill when left out in the weather, he thought it a waste—if it were up to him, he could forge countless hoes and knives!

In Tang Wan’s mind, it was the same: Boss Yan, not a jeweler by trade, having a supply channel for black pearls was a tremendous waste!

Yan Fei didn’t expect this fiery tempered Tang Wan to be quite patient; as he dawdled over the construction work, she just patiently waited—he kept expecting the young lady to lose her patience and spit out her intentions so he could simply refuse and send her on her way!

There was enough going on at the site, and any delay from Yan Fei meant half a day gone. By evening, seeing that these two, rather, that Tang Wan, had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to find a moment and bluntly said, "Miss Tang, I don’t have what you want here, and even if I did, I’m not interested in selling it. As you can see, I’m not short of money. I think you should not waste your time either!"

Tang Wan smiled sweetly, "It’s fine, I’ve been having a great chat with Xiao Xing. I’ll stay and enjoy myself here for a few days; I’ll consider it a visit to your place. The scenery here isn’t too bad, right? The stream flowing, bamboo groves, gingko, and roses, I heard there’s even an ancient pagoda and old buildings, I love these things...

With his own wife noticing him and not wanting to embarrass her by sending their guest away in front of her, he just let her stay.

Anyway, he didn’t plan on being an attentive host, so it didn’t matter much.

But infuriatingly, the next day, Tang Wan ’abducted’ his wife—using the tour as an excuse, she drove out with Xu Xiaoyan in tow; what could Yan Fei do?
