Chapter 1192: Chapter 599: Bull Recognizes the Shed - Sudden Attack_2
By now, this had become his stroke of genius. Not only could the teachers in the school often improve their meals, but even the students could occasionally benefit from it — cattle bones were so cheap, and with the cattle farm slaughtering over a hundred cattle a month, just setting aside some would be enough for the school to make bone broth for noodles.
Yan Fei was there on serious business, and he got straight to the point, "Principal Dou, I have something I’d like to discuss with you. Could you transfer me to the Third Year of High School class so I can review with the students? If there’s time, I’d also like to participate in a few exams to experience the atmosphere of the examination room?"
Although Principal Dou was only a vice principal, anyone with a brain knew better than to call him Vice Principal Dou — the students usually called him "Tofu Principal" behind his back when expressing dissatisfaction, and that nickname wasn’t very nice.
Yan Fei wasn’t just making small talk, he had considered his own situation; he had hardly visited the school in the past year, let alone taken any exams. The college entrance exam was just around the corner, and he hadn’t even taken a proper test. How could that be right?
This small request was very easy for Principal Dou, who nodded happily, "Alright, you should join Teacher Bai’s class then! He has been teaching for a long time, is experienced, and also lives on campus, so it will be convenient for you to approach him with any questions."
The discussion was concluded in just two sentences. Then, Yan Fei went to meet Teacher Bai. They actually already knew each other since the school was only so big, and from teachers to staff, all students basically knew everyone.
Next, Yan Fei went to his own class, gathered his books, and prepared to move to the new class.
His fool of a desk mate looked at him with reluctance, "Boss Yan, you’re leaving just like that? I was hoping we could be desk mates for a few more days. I was counting on driving on your coattails in the future!"
Yan Fei had no words for him, "Didn’t we agree already? Whenever you graduate and are looking for a job, just come find me. Whether you graduate from high school or university, going now is fine..."
Before the third period was even over in the new class, a teacher rushed in with Heizi, all flustered. Coincidentally, it was Teacher Bai’s class, and the young teacher approached the senior Teacher Bai and quickly whispered a few words.
Meanwhile, Heizi had already started calling out to Yan Fei, "Brother Fei, Brother Fei, hurry up, they’re here..."
Who were ’they’? Of course, it was the inspection team.
Yan Fei couldn’t care about the class anymore; he closed his textbook, stood up, and before he could speak, Teacher Bai cheerfully said, "Yan Fei, if you have matters to attend to, go ahead! You know where my office is anyway. If you miss anything, you can come catch up later."
The entire class was a bit stunned, and some students even looked disdainful: everyone said Teacher Bai was strict, always frowning at us, but now with the rich Big Boss coming to class, wasn’t he also ingratiating himself?
Students can’t hide their feelings very well, and for a teacher who had been teaching for twenty to thirty years, these little thoughts were transparent. Teacher Bai then chuckled and spoke, "You’re thinking that I’m usually strict with you, but now that Yan Fei is here, I’m being particularly lenient with him, aren’t you? Do you know what Teacher Xiao Wang just told me?"
Teacher Bai glanced around, and seeing the silent crowd, he continued, "The inspection team from the ministry has arrived to check on the cattle breeding situation in our region. The city has informed Boss Yan, a major cattle farmer, to attend the welcome ceremony. Do you all know what that means? It’s not just about people from the ministry visiting; even if it were provincial or city officials, if they invited you to the ceremony, I’d give you the day off too!"
After a look at the bewildered faces below, he lacked the energy to explain further, "Back to class!"
Explaining this to the students was like playing the lute to a cow. They spent all day in school and probably didn’t even know the surname of the local leader, let alone anything about the ministry or provincial level. That level was too high, and it was pointless to talk about it with them.
Yan Fei had already changed into a decent outfit, grabbed a stack of documents in a hurry, and while looking at them in the car, he muttered to Heizi, who was driving, "If we have to come, we have to come, but why the sudden report? This is just making things difficult!"
Before Heizi could respond, the phone rang—it was Secretary Jiao’s call: "Xiao Fei, this time you’re representing our county, and you must perform well. The eyes of a million fellow townsfolk are on you, waiting for you to shine at the critical moment!"
Yan Fei replied cheerfully, "Don’t worry, Secretary Jiao. If the inspection team doesn’t come here, I’ll drag them here myself!"
Secretary Jiao laughed heartily, "That’s the spirit, just keep that light-hearted attitude. But there’s no need to drag anyone; our county is definitely on their list. However, I’m worried that your data might not be comprehensive enough. I’ve had Xiao Zhao wait in the Tang Wan intersection with some documents. Take a look; use them if necessary, and don’t worry if not. It’s always good to be prepared so that you won’t be at a loss for words."
Yan Fei agreed and after hanging up, he instructed Heizi briefly and continued reviewing the documents.
The documents provided by Secretary Zhao were about the cattle breeding situation across the county. Yan Fei was already familiar with the major cattle breeders in the area, but he wasn’t clear on the exact numbers at the level of individual farmers, so this information was very timely indeed.
In less than an hour, Yan Fei had arrived among the welcoming party organized by the city. He was early, and many people hadn’t arrived yet!
Secretary Niu was in the conference room, clarifying to those who had arrived early: "The inspection team also notified us at the last minute, telling us to gather all the major cattle breeders in the area for a preliminary discussion to grasp the situation. Consider it a surprise check, but don’t feel nervous. Just be honest— the actual data is what it is, and we don’t need to fabricate anything. Just remember, if you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense..."
It was really just to prevent everyone from getting nervous. After all, many of the cattle breeders had barely left Wan City, and the sudden mention of high-ranking officials could lead to embarrassing moments.
Until lunchtime, Secretary Niu relentlessly addressed the issue: if you don’t know, definitely don’t talk nonsense. Initially, Yan Fei was a bit annoyed, but seeing the people who had come, he suddenly understood why Secretary Niu was going to such lengths.
The cattle breeders who had arrived were a diverse bunch. There were honest folks who looked no different from farmers tilling the land, and there were those looking like bandits with bloated, menacing faces—who wouldn’t need makeup to play the bully Zhou Dalian in a Water Margin TV series...
There were those who dared not speak loudly here, and others who still couldn’t help but swear out of habit when they spoke...
This situation was not surprising; Yan Fei knew quite well about them. Some of these cattle breeders were originally farmers who developed their business while raising cattle. Others were influential locals who could control the scene and had gradually built up their operations.
For instance, the person who was currently whispering a greeting to Yan Fei was precisely the sort of person like Second Man of the Si Family, Zhou Dalian, who started cattle breeding later in life, relying on the connections he had made previously.
Those who were truly cultured, had seen the world, and returned to breed cattle were not as common as the newspapers reported.
In short, this was a group dominated by rustic country bumpkins. No wonder Secretary Niu had to emphasize his points repeatedly—fearing not those who couldn’t speak when meeting others, but those who, once they started talking, would say anything...
How bold they were could be seen at the lunch scene. Not long after they started eating, someone banged the table and exclaimed, "The city leaders are hosting us, how come they didn’t provide enough drinks? These two bottles—who are they enough for?"
Did they really think they were invited just for drinks?
