Chapter 1484: Chapter 714: A Twist of Fate: The Land Returns_3

As long as he could turn things around now, everything else would be negotiable. Those who dared to go into business in previous years generally lacked neither the spirit of risking their lives nor the sense of adventure. Now, at this critical juncture of a do-or-die battle, it was nothing more than either the birds flying towards the sky if they die, or living for tens of thousands of years if they don’t.

Ever since Yan Fei discovered the ’New World,’ all his focus had settled on his wife. He really had no interest in the property. He now felt that turning it down would be too disrespectful to Old Chen. Just then, seeing Gao Rui chasing her child outside to feed him, an idea struck him. He shouted outside: "Accountant Gao, come over, I have a question!"

Gao Rui, dragging the child along, came in and asked: "What’s the matter?"

Trying to figure out what expression he should use to convey a subtle hint and realizing he was not gifted in that department, Yan Fei just had to ask: "Do we have enough funds on the books right now? How much do we have? If we take out seven or eight hundred million, will it not cause any problems with the liquidity of our operations?"

Gao Rui was just a country girl who didn’t finish high school and got pregnant due to Heizi’s deceit; since then, she has been at the site. Although now considered wealthy and having seen some big scenes, she ultimately had limited social experience and was honestly confused about what Yan Fei’s words meant.

Heizi, on the other hand, was winking and gesturing at his wife, but Gao Rui, occupied with the child in her hands, totally missed his signal. Thus, everyone had no choice but to watch as the straightforward accountant confessed: "Seven or eight hundred million is definitely not a problem! The remainder is enough. Accountant Xiang was just saying this morning, you, the boss, seldom check the financials, and when the banks call and can’t find you, they start harassing us..."

Boss Wang felt instantly as if his heart was being scratched by a cat. He had struggled for several years, and now a few hundreds of millions were leading him to bankruptcy. Yan was much younger than him, yet just the ’change’ on his balance sheet was enough to make him envious. It’s no wonder they say comparisons to others can be fatal!

That’s just how people are, taking it one step at a time. There was a time when Boss Wang’s balance sheet also showed tens of millions, and he too once spent money like water, but all that was fluid and incomparable to what this man had. Besides, now that he’s a fallen phoenix, less than a chicken, there’s no comparison at all!

"All right, all right, you can go out!" Heizi, watching his wife with that silly look, almost wanted to cover his face with his hand, regretting his past decisions. Why did he have to deceive such an honest wife who didn’t even understand hints? Better to shoo her out quickly before she might say something even more ridiculous!

This guy didn’t think about it—if she hadn’t been so naive, would she have been swayed by him so easily?

Yan Fei, seeing Chen He’s speechless face, chuckled awkwardly, "Well, okay, I’ll take the land. But the paperwork will have to wait a few days; I have college entrance exams coming up. Right now, stepping out of the house, I’m under my wife’s watchful eye, and I can’t go to the Provincial City."

Wang Yongcheng, listening to these words, was utterly confused. What do college entrance exams have to do with you, a big boss? During the exam period, is your wife watching you so that you can’t leave home? He had rushed over, and all the way he had been inquiring about what kind of business Boss Yan was doing, how well he was doing, and whether he could afford such spare cash. There was no time to inquire about Boss Yan’s private life.

However, he had no leisure to consider these complicated relationships. As soon as he heard Yan Fei say the words "I’ll take it," he was instantly overjoyed, a happiness that was indescribable, to the point he couldn’t speak clearly: "Boss Yan, thank you so much, really! You are saving my whole family’s life!"

In his excitement, he stood up and reached out to shake hands with Yan Fei, but ended up knocking over the cups of tea and liquor in front of him. If it weren’t for Xiaodong, who also stood up, wanting to express his gratitude, and reacted quickly, the whole banquet might have been overturned.

Yan Fei stood up to shake his hand, speaking straightforwardly: "It’s not a big deal. Since Old Chen is here, I have to give him some face, right? Right, Old Chen, let’s drink a couple more?"

Chen He, frightened, waved his hands vigorously and joked loudly: "Don’t bully me, okay? Or later I’ll have my girlfriend tattle to your wife... Don’t think you can act all virtuous; I’ll tell you, I talk too much when I’m drunk, and I’ll even spread rumors!"

Yan Fei laughed heartily: "Then you’ll also have to convince my wife. Let’s all sit, sit. Come on, let’s continue eating."

No need to say more. After a flurry of activity, the group sat down again, and the mood was entirely different. Even Xiaodong, excited, was holding his cup, not minding that his face was red and his neck swollen, just clinking glasses, and wasn’t long before he was the first to fall...

As Boss Wang had thought, the three guests had already fallen, while Yan Fei and his companions were still untouched. Then Ma Yongming finally got a chance to talk to Yan Fei: "Xiao Fei, this is another great opportunity, don’t forget me. As soon as your garden starts construction, I’ll come over to supervise on your behalf. Not only can I learn some techniques, but I can also see how the construction teams in the Provincial City are managed..."

Boss Ma’s team was getting bigger, and he had developed a taste for learning from others. In fact, his construction team was already quite good; with the old workers having worked with him for so long, they had ample experience. Plus, they had the fortune of being supervised by Professor Shu and his students in the past, which certainly opened up new ideas.

Now, Boss Ma’s construction team often took on high-standard projects. They even recently bid on a project in a county. Though Yan’s words played a part, the fact that others recognized their capability meant that their level was impressive, at least streets ahead of most county construction teams.

Yan Fei, of course, was willing to satisfy his request. Honestly, people who knew the situation admired Boss Ma quite a bit—this guy was no good student when he was in the village; his educational background was horrendous. When he first started in construction, people couldn’t even recognize the name he wrote. Now his team had work every day, and it was truly enviable!

It was no exaggeration to say others couldn’t recognize the name he wrote. Boss Ma began to proactively learn because of an incident where he went out for business and the staff, holding a form he filled out, kept calling out: "Has Ma Changyue come yet? Has Ma Changyue come..."
