Chapter 1225: Chapter 610 Sudden Honor_3

The Fifth Young Master Guo, taking the cue from the crowd’s path, started running this way, "Brother Fei, Brother Fei, you should go instead? I think the black lion is getting restless, who knows, it might start biting out of agitation soon?"

Even if it’s just a dog, nobody wants to be disturbed in the middle of doing that business!

Yan Fei was about to follow him to pull the black lion away when he turned his head toward the west: two small cars had already reached the bridge.

So he halted his stride and called out to Heizi who was directing the cleanup, "Stop sweeping, everyone’s here. Didn’t you see all those people gathered around? Hurry up and think of something!"

After finishing, he signaled for the cleanup crew to come out and join him in welcoming the visitors.

By the time the cars arrived, Yan Fei with his team approached them. He was just about to offer a welcome when he heard the crowd that had gathered under Heizi’s lead, all shouting in unison, facing this way, "Welcome, leaders, for your inspection of our work!"

And then there was enthusiastic applause!

Those behind Yan Fei weren’t fools either; they quickly followed Yan Fei’s lead in clapping, and so the clapping echoed loudly around them.

Secretary Niu was momentarily taken aback, although curious why the welcoming party stood a bit far off, there wasn’t time to ask more questions and laughing, he extended his hand to Yan Fei, "Boss Yan, you’re too polite. I already said there was no need for such grandeur..."

As he spoke, he vigorously shook the hand that Yan Fei had extended!

It was such grandeur, calling out a whole crowd to welcome him, obviously assembled at a moment’s notice. Secretary Niu certainly didn’t realize that behind the clapping, there were two Tibetan Mastiffs still clapping away in their own way; he just thought this was Boss Yan’s ’well-intentioned effort,’ feeling that Boss Yan was truly considerate, giving such respect.

Xiaosong and a few other young guys behind Yan Fei were all stifling their laughter, visibly uncomfortable. One of them who couldn’t hold back any longer and started shaking with mirth was promptly slapped on the head by Old Gao, which immediately stopped his shaking.

After Yan Fei exchanged a few courteous words, Secretary Niu, seeing that the crowd was so ’enthusiastic’, simply stood there and called out, "We’re not here today for an inspection. Boss Yan’s achievements are not only witnessed by everyone here, but the city leaders have also taken note. We specifically came here to present Boss Yan with the certificate of ’Leader in Wealth Creation,’ and the ’Advanced Enterprise for Responsibility in Social Construction’ certificate."

"Furthermore, Boss Yan’s cooperative oxen raising system has successfully found a new path to lead the villagers to wealth. We’re also here to present Boss Yan with an honor for being a ’Wancheng City Innovative Pilot Enterprise.’"

Now well-experienced, everyone knew what to do, and so the applause promptly rang out again.

Once the applause died down, Secretary Niu continued, "Originally, the city leaders were to personally present these certificates, but due to a last-minute meeting, they sent me in their stead. It is an honor for me to present these to Boss Yan, I’m truly flattered! Folks, you can all come take a look at these certificates..."

Wow, three certificates at once, all framed, complete with big red flowers, boasting red text on a yellow background, glittering brightly under the sun, truly dazzling.

After everyone had a look, Secretary Niu motioned to the crowd, "Come on, let’s have Boss Yan hold these certificates and take a group photo together! Those over there, come join in as well, it’s good to have a big crowd for a photo!"

Could those he called upon move? Of course not!

If they walked away, wouldn’t they expose to the leaders the good deeds those two mastiffs were doing behind them?

Although the prospect of taking a photo with the leaders was something nobody had experienced and was truly tempting.

Lucky for them, Heizi was there. With a glare at the eager crowd, everyone instantly settled down. The clever dog farm owner Mao Jun shouted from among the crowd, "You go ahead with the photo, leaders! We’re just a bunch of country bumpkins happy to watch the excitement. Let’s all give a round of applause!"

These onlookers were just passing by for the fun of it and didn’t care about anything else; as long as someone prompted them to clap, they clapped. As a result, this applause made Secretary Niu’s attempt to call them over get drowned out.

Yan Fei, laughing, pulled Secretary Niu aside, "Secretary Niu, don’t be too courteous with them, they’re just a bunch who can’t present well, your calling won’t bring them here. Let’s take the photo now!"

In fact, he was still puzzled. However, he said presenting certificates with such haste and in such an informal manner seemed off somehow.

It wasn’t appropriate to ask now, so Yan Fei could only keep his doubts to himself.

After the photo op, everyone entered the premises, into the meeting room for some idle chatter. Yan Fei found an opportunity, asking someone else to accompany the people who came with Secretary Niu, and then himself pulled Secretary Niu aside, "Secretary Niu, it’s not easy for you to come here, so let me take you to see that black ox calf again. You’re the witness of its birth; it might even remember you!"

Hearing of the black calf, others who had heard of it were keen to see it too, but seeing that Boss Yan and Secretary Niu obviously had not invited them, they had no choice but to continue sitting idly in the meeting room.

Once outside, Secretary Niu didn’t wait for Yan Fei to ask and started explaining, "Boss Yan, I’m not judging you, but you really lack a proactive approach in some matters!"

Yan Fei was puzzled, "Secretary Niu, you know what kind of person I am, you don’t have to be polite with me. Just say what you have to say, and I’ll listen with an open mind."
