Chapter 1420: Chapter 689: The Tiger Has a Baby

At the break of dawn, Yan Fei and Liu Yang yawned as they left the laboratory together.

The morning temperature was still a bit low. Suddenly coming out of the laboratory, Yan Fei was fine, and Yang Hongqi, being young, could bear it, but Liu JinXue couldn’t handle it, shivering several times, sneezing repeatedly.

Yan Fei made a suggestion, "I told you, research should be timed properly, but you had to be meticulous. See, there’s a problem now. Let’s hurry to the kitchen and get something warm to eat, otherwise, we might have to see a doctor. How could you let your health get like this after coming here..."

"Earthworms are nocturnal animals; they don’t like strong light, only at night can they grow normally," mumbled Liu JinXue, not wanting to argue any further after being chilled by a breeze.

"So if you were researching Golden Eagles, would you have to strap on a pair of wings and fly after them?" Yan Fei looked up, stretching his hand towards the sky as he spoke.

"I... Achoo... Alright, I won’t argue anymore, I give up. Can’t I just be more careful in the future? I really am getting old; my body can’t take it like it used to!" Liu JinXue felt cold to his bones, and rare for him, he admitted his fault.

"Alright, alright, hurry and get something to eat first," seeing him admit his mistake, Yan Fei didn’t say more and led the way to the kitchen.

He had just walked a few steps when he stopped again: "Let’s not go to the kitchen, they are preparing breakfast now; it’s not nice to bother them. Let’s go to my place and cook something!"

After the three of them had their fill of hot food, Yan Fei formally made a suggestion: "Senior Brother, this really isn’t working. Not to boast for myself, but think about it. Before the laboratory was set up, didn’t you feel better here than at home? That’s because of the tonic wine I gave you regularly. If it weren’t for that, your health would have collapsed by now! If you keep this up, I’ll have to close the laboratory."

Knowing he was wrong, Liu JinXue just focused on eating his rice without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yan Fei directly spoke, "You better not take the laboratory key anymore, just wait and listen to my arrangement. I’ll get a copy of the key for Old Gao and his team. They will open the laboratory at five in the morning and close it at eleven at night. That’s the plan, starting tomorrow, giving you a day to adjust your experiment schedule and try to move your work to daylight hours!"

Settling it so, Liu JinXue couldn’t agree just yet, but just as he was about to speak, Yan Fei continued, "If you don’t agree, I’ll shut down the lab, and I’ll decide when it opens."

Liu JinXue’s expression changed several times, but eventually, he just sighed and buried his head in his meal.

Yan Fei smiled at this, just as he was about to stand up and serve more rice, the phone rang.

It was Lin Baoguo, with big news: "News just came in, Zeng Zhaokun fell out of bed last night at the hospital, injuring his head. He might have some mental issues, and if he doesn’t recover, he might end up a fool..."

Yan Fei was very surprised, "From the bed to the floor isn’t that high, how could he have damaged his brain?"

"Exactly," asserted Lin Baoguo. "He was unguarded while sleeping; isn’t it different from being awake? Also, he was already injured. Alright, I need to hurry and make some food. You just know this news, don’t spread it around!"

"He still owes me over ten thousand yuan..." Yan shouted.

Lin Baoguo had already hung up!

After coming back with the served rice and sitting down, Yan Fei couldn’t help commenting, "How did he become a fool? From such a height, I was actually hoping he could hold on a bit longer, at least long enough to pay me back."

Liu JinXue was sulking, and Yang Hongqi couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, who became a fool?"

"That unlucky guy, Zeng Zhaokun," Yan Fei casually replied.

"Didn’t he still owe us money and hasn’t paid it back?" Yang Hongqi, even though working in the laboratory, knew about the boss’s car getting scratched, and he immediately asked.

"Exactly," Yan Fei lamented. "How can we ask for money now?"

"Go ask his family, it’s over ten thousand yuan! That’s enough for our entire village to have a good new year!" Yang Hongqi promptly suggested. Coming from a poor family, he valued money deeply.

"Is that appropriate?"

"How is it not?" Yang Hongqi came back quickly. "He made so much dirty money, and his family enjoyed spending money everywhere. Now that he has run into trouble, can they just not pay the debt? That’s over ten thousand yuan!"

"That’s true," Yan Fei pondered for a moment and slowly nodded. "Alright then, I’ll arrange for someone to go ask his family."

As Yan Fei spoke, he had already cleared another bowl of rice and muttered as he stood up, "I was even thinking about making him pay me back ten-fold for the money he owed me. Now, that’s going to be difficult..."

Yang Hongqi paused in his eating, subconsciously glancing at his wrist. There, he wore a watch that the villagers had chipped in to buy before he went to college. Though not very expensive, he had used it for three or four years without much discrepancy. In the laboratory, recording time was normal, and his watch was still supporting him silently.
