Chapter 1243: Chapter 617 Gathering Momentum_2

After a few days of such activities, topped with fine wine and cuisine, leisurely strolling with Black Lion, and occasionally sparring with Heizi and the others at night, my skin has gotten a little darker, and I look more robust now.

But after all, I’m an adult. These things are fun to try for novelty, but playing all the time gets boring. Now, I’m just looking forward to a change of scenery, to run off and play somewhere else.

Yan Fei happened to need me for something, so I nodded and agreed, "Okay, where do you say we go? But before we go have fun, you got to do something for me."

"You name it. If it’s within my power, I won’t refuse," The Fifth Young Master Guo promised, puffing out his chest. It’s a pity that his mouth was stuffed with roast chicken, and his garbled words didn’t carry much weight.

"Last night, over a dozen labs were burglarized in Japan. Have someone inquire for me—I’m considering purchasing that equipment. Can you find someone who’s got the connections?"

"Over a dozen labs? What got stolen?" The Fifth Young Master Guo had just gotten up and had no clue about this news!

"Hurry up and finish eating, then come over and take a look for yourself," Yan Fei beckoned to him and then walked into the office first.

The Fifth Young Master Guo sure wasn’t going to do as he suggested and finish eating; he just grabbed a beer bottle and ran over, munching and drinking, "Hurry up, I want to see what got stolen that even Brother Fei is interested!"

But as he watched, his expression started to change, "Brother Fei, this is huge. Are we even capable of getting involved in this? It’s such a big deal right now, and not to mention I don’t have the connections—even if I did, it wouldn’t be safe to get involved! If I get caught up in this, can I still sit here comfortably eating like I am now?"

Yan Fei never really expected him to find any connections. No expectations, no disappointments. He smiled and said, "No worries. I’m just poking around blindly. Just pass the word through your contacts, familiar or not, and let them know I’m looking to buy those devices. That should be easy enough, right?"

The Fifth Young Master Guo immediately caught on, smugly saying, "I get it! You’re thinking that with so much stolen this time and the situation so tense, if those big-time thieves can’t offload their goods quickly, they might reach out to you to test the waters once they hear you’re interested, then you’ll have the chance to get a good deal, right?"

Yan Fei, without confirming nor denying, just nodded, "Hmm, if that’s how you want to put it, sure!"

He kept a straight face as he spoke, but inside he was overjoyed: This guy was thinking the same as he was.

What Yan Fei was thinking was to create the impression that he was bouncing around, looking to snap up some bargain goods. If he managed to ’buy’ the stuff later, he’d have a ready excuse: I didn’t know who the other party was; all I did was ask around to see who had connections to buy those items. Then someone reached out to me, offering a batch of used goods similar to the stolen ones, and asked if I was interested?

Yes, it couldn’t be the stolen batch; it had to be ’a batch similar to the stolen ones.’

The rest would flow smoothly. If they wanted to sell and I still needed it, and the price was right, why wouldn’t I buy it?

Even if someone claimed the goods were stolen, he had his excuse ready: You’re kidding, right? How would I know these were stolen goods? Japan loses stuff and doesn’t make a detailed list or take pictures of the instruments for me to cross-reference online, do they?

Whether it’s a cover-up or whatever, this was the best plan he could come up with. As long as he established the factual basis. Later, if he altruistically donated some of the equipment, he figured plenty of people would help him work out the details...

It’s like throwing twenty thousand yuan into advertising, and now in the Wancheng City newspapers, the ads for my beef jerky claim: A group of idealistic and motivated young people from Sancha River Village, who are willing to endure hardship and love to study, have gone through all sorts of pains and trials, never yielding, and after various attempts, finally cultivated top-quality beef, selling Wancheng City’s beef all the way to Hong Kong...

In reality, was it really like that? As the parties involved, Boss Yan and Heizi, along with a group of ’young people’, were all chuckling at the advertisement.

The Fifth Young Master Guo thought he had guessed Yan Fei’s intentions and even reminded him with some concern, "However, I always feel like what you’re doing seems a bit unreliable. Those who can pull off such a huge job must have a way to dispose of the goods, and this might very well be orchestrated by some country. Even if it’s not, there could be other problems involved, haven’t you seen that there are even mentions of aliens..."

As the person involved, Yan Fei knew better than anyone about the matter and stood up laughing, "Let’s not worry about that, just go ahead and spread the word. We’re just trying this out, if it doesn’t work, then let it go. Help me with this for the next couple of days, and when I have some free time, wherever you want to go on vacation, I’ll take you there..."

The Fifth Young Master Guo had shown some noticeable changes since staying here for a few days, even his way of eating had become more ’carefree’. But although his lifestyle had changed, his courage had not grown; he always felt unsafe stepping outside—thinking it was safe enough here and without bodyguards, he didn’t dare to wander around aimlessly himself.

Upon hearing Yan Fei’s promise, he was very happy, "Alright, wait for it, I guarantee that if those guys have any contact with Hong Kong, they will definitely hear the rumor that you want to buy goods."

Yan Fei then started making phone calls, inquiring about the beef cattle inspection from last time, to see if there was any news—because if something really happened, he wouldn’t be able to run around carelessly.

But after making many calls, he didn’t get any news. It made sense though, for something like this, everyone could prepare a bit in advance without much effort, but making a big fuss about it before the higher-ups officially decided to go through with it would not be good. What if this ended up not making it onto some list, wouldn’t all the uproar have been just for fun and end up being a big joke?

The delay meant that he didn’t have to personally take care of taking The Fifth Young Master Guo out to have fun—Chen Yingjun had finally finished dealing with a pile of family matters and had come over.

As for fun, there was nothing Chen Yingjun wasn’t good at, and with The Fifth Young Master Guo, they really hit it off. They became fast friends who could talk about anything after just one meeting.

After spending a couple of days with the beautiful graduate student, Chen Yingjun invited The Fifth Young Master Guo to have fun at his place, saying all the right things and essentially anything that these wealthy young masters wanted to do, he could find a place for them to enjoy.

For The Fifth Young Master Guo, Chen Yingjun’s invitation was like someone offering a pillow to someone who was feeling sleepy. After hearing Chen Yingjun’s guarantee that nothing would go awry in his own turf, he followed him without hesitation.

Watching him go off to have fun with a happy smile, Yan Fei really admired Chen Yingjun’s wit.

After Chen Yingjun’s restaurant became famous, there were others who tried to imitate him by opening their own restaurant—Black Gold City might not be a cattle-producing area, but the province it was in did have cattle, and they were quite well-known, too.

The person who opened the restaurant came from a powerful family. Relying on lower prices and family influence, he did manage to take quite a bit of business away from Chen Yingjun. After all, although Sancha River Village’s beef was sold in Hong Kong, the distance between the two places was too great, and Chen Yingjun could only provide limited proof. Under the opponent’s aggressive marketing, Chen Yingjun’s gimmicks weren’t as effective.

Chen Yingjun was always someone who preferred harmony and did not wish to provoke others rashly. He wasn’t planning on making a fuss, but now that The Fifth Young Master Guo was here, he took the opportunity—taking the Fifth Young Master from the Guo family in Hong Kong out for a couple of days of fun, who afterwards would dare to say his beef was just a bunch of hot air? If anyone doubted it, they could ask around about the Guo family in Hong Kong, what kind of people were they?

Now that everyone had left, Yan Fei thought he could finally have a few days of peace, but then the county called him, saying that someone wanted to come over and learn from his advanced experience.

Could they not give him a moment’s peace!
