Chapter 1579: Chapter 756: Senior Brother Meng, Boss Li, Blueprint

Apart from its long history and strategic location on transportation routes, Provincial City in Yuzhou Province is also known for another notable characteristic: the abundance of bicycles. The swarms of bicycles every morning have become a distinctive feature of the city. If a newcomer were to witness the river-like flow of traffic, they would undoubtedly be stunned.

Of course, it’s not only bicycles in the traffic; there is an increasing number of motorcycles and electric bikes mixed in. Especially with the recent rise of electric bikes, which are not as tiring to ride as bicycles and not as hard to operate as motorcycles, they have become quite popular. What’s more, they don’t require a license, so anyone who can ride a bicycle can easily hop on and go.

However, for the majority of wage earners, the price of electric bikes is still not affordable—much like the security guard at the entrance of the Agricultural Bureau. Yan Fei, driving with Professor He, was stopped upon arriving at the flowing stream of vehicles outside the entrance. Even after Professor He mentioned who they were looking for, they were still asked to register. It was only after Yan Fei finished registering and made a phone call for confirmation that they were allowed to enter.

As a result, Professor He grumbled dissatisfactorily, "In the past, you could just report a name and get in, but now they even require registration and phone confirmation, which is absurd."

"So what would be considered ’reasonable’?" Yan Fei asked as he reversed the car.

Professor He’s face was filled with reminiscence, "Like before! Back then, not to mention a small and broken bureau like this, even the Provincial Government Courtyard was accessible to anyone. Despite the presence of armed guards at the gates, it was just for show for us law-abiding citizens. If you said you had business and needed to go in, they would let you in after a brief word."

"How long ago are you talking about?"

Yan Fei did not respond. Now he knew, aside from the local government offices in Sancha River, which were still as casual as before and you could enter with just a wave, almost all departments above the county level required registration—speaking of which, there used to be few public restrooms on the streets in Sancha River town, and many people who came for the market would go inside to find restrooms, which was very convenient.

Upon reaching Xiao Meng’s office, Professor He still hadn’t cooled off: "Xiao Meng, the security at your entrance is too strict now, isn’t it? We were asked to register and even confirm by phone when I just mentioned a name to get in, isn’t that too much trouble?"

"Please calm down, Teacher. Have a glass of water first," said Xiao Meng, who looked a bit older than Senior Brother Wang and the others. Facing his teacher, he had no temper and was serving tea with a smile, while still trying to smooth things over.

"We have no choice, as this has become the common practice, and we’re just going with the flow. My bad, my bad, I forgot to remind the guard when I came in to work this morning..."

"Enough!" Professor He threw his weight around. "This is your junior, Yan Fei. He’s started a cattle farming business. He heard something about that mid-size city... Xiao Fei, you’d better explain it yourself!"

Yan Fei couldn’t afford to be as carefree: "Hello Senior Brother Meng, it’s the ’Annual Meeting for Global Mid-Size City Cooperation and Development Network and International Trade Exchange Conference.’ I heard from Director Xu at the trading company. He said that many foreigners will be coming to the meeting, and I was thinking of finding a way to showcase my farm’s beef at the trade fair. Maybe it could attract some business opportunities."

"Beef?" Senior Brother Meng frowned slightly, but then his eyes lit up. "The junior brother who raises cattle? Yan Fei from Morning Glory Ranching Company, right? Nice to meet you, it’s much easier to handle if it’s your matter. I can’t guarantee for other beef suppliers, but for your meat, it’s definitely not an issue."

After saying this, he turned to Professor He: "I’ve heard our province’s largest cattle farm was opened by our junior brother, but I’ve never had the chance to meet you. Teacher, if you had called and mentioned it was about him, you wouldn’t have had to make the trip."

"This task is simple. The event is hosted by Wanlong International Trade. It’s also the first time that Wanlong International Trade is hosting foreign guests, and I guess they’re worried about not having anything unique to serve them. Teacher, wait here with the junior brother for a moment; I’ll make a quick phone call..."

As the call connected, Senior Brother Meng laughed: "Haha, Boss Li, it’s Old Meng here! Are you worrying about how to entertain the foreign guests? Well, I have brought you a benefactor. Do you know the largest cattle farm in our province? It’s the one that sells beef to Hong Kong for making steaks. The owner is my junior brother, and he’s here to inquire about the trade event, so this is a great chance for you!"

In less than three minutes, Senior Brother Meng hung up the phone: "Teacher, junior brother, rest assured, I’ve spoken to Boss Li. Just have the junior brother go over there and have a talk with Wanlong International Trade’s Boss Li."

After he gave Yan Fei the number for Boss Li, Professor He stood up, ready to leave: "Alright, Xiao Meng, we won’t disturb you any longer, as you’re busy! I have two more classes this morning, and it wouldn’t be good if I missed them without telling someone."

Senior Brother Meng remained polite for a while, but seeing that Professor He was determined to leave, he finally escorted them out. As they were leaving, he patted Yan Fei on the shoulder: "Junior brother, come and visit when you have time. We as fellow disciples should keep in touch more, don’t be a stranger..."

After Yan Fei got in the car and left, Professor He mumbled: "Come and find him if you have business, but keep your distance if you don’t. He’s not the same as Senior Brother Wang and those guys; not solid enough."

Yan Fei was torn between laughter and tears, feeling somewhat touched. He knew that Professor He could sometimes be childishly straightforward, and it was this very quality that made him so clear about his likes and dislikes. He couldn’t fathom why Senior Brother Meng had fallen out of favor, but if it hadn’t been for his own matter, he suspected that Professor He’s temperament would never have allowed him to come at all.
