Chapter 1599: Chapter 764: Don’t Be Modest_2

Ma Dan was speechless too. "Honestly, I have a hard time understanding your modesty. Since you own the biggest ranch in the province, why do you insist on saying that you only have a small one?"

"Modesty, modesty," Yan Fei expressed helplessly. "If I go around telling people I own the biggest ranch in the province, people would consider it bragging and arrogant. It’s our custom to be modest."

"Alright!" Ma Dan said, not understanding. "If that’s the case, then why don’t you go talk to Mr. Ivan right now? He might just be your next customer."

"No, I’ve changed my mind!" Yan Fei laughed. "Maybe I should listen more to your advice, as a traveler, rather than recklessly going to chat with Mr. Ivan directly. Besides, there will be dishes made from my beef at today’s lunch banquet. I think it will be better to talk business after everyone has tasted it."

"I must say, you are good at listening!" Ma Dan was clearly pleased to be called a traveler, even giving a thumbs up. "Say, if I ask for a steak at noon, could the government officials here responsible for the reception agree to it?"

Yan Fei didn’t really want to answer that question.

The saying goes, When in Rome, do as the Romans do—these foreigners should eat whatever the host offers. However, there’s also the saying, make the guest feel at home... Well, even without that phrase, according to our ’tradition,’ the receptionists would definitely agree to this not-so-difficult request.

Honestly, Yan Fei was quite annoyed by this ’tradition.’

But at this moment, Ma Dan’s suggestion was in his own best interest. Because if it were a normal banquet, even having Chef Will present wouldn’t necessarily mean having steak served directly.

It seems, his current approach was somewhat self-important relying on foreign influence!

Forget it, it’s better not to think too much. Customs aren’t formed in a day, nor can they be changed by myself in a moment.

Nodding at Ma Dan, Yan Fei said with a smile, "Of course they will agree; it’s not an unreasonable request. Our principle is to make the guest feel at home, to ensure that the guests feel as comfortable as if they were in their own home."

"Then, I might bring a few people along to taste the beef from your ranch," Ma Dan said happily. "It would be my honor to help a young new friend."

To be my friend, you still have to work harder!

Yan Fei thought to himself with a snark, blaming this lad for striking up a conversation initially and constantly ogling his wife with those crafty eyes! If it weren’t for him later focusing on talking with Yan Fei, Boss Yan really wouldn’t mind waiting for that guy’s plane to make him mysteriously disappear mid-flight.

But now, since he has already helped, and their conversation was fairly good, Yan Fei dismissed the idea.

Taking the opportunity as Ma Dan went to rally people, Yan Fei found a staff member at the conference venue and told him that the foreign friend wanted to eat beef.

The staff member was stunned: "Then wait a moment, I’ll go and ask the leaders."

"Wait a moment," Yan Fei stopped him. "Tell the leaders that there’s high-grade beef prepared in the kitchen, and Chef Will from the Wagyu steakhouse is also here. We can fully meet this request, let Will make the steak, it’s not troublesome."

"..." The staff member was stunned again. "Who are you?"

There are many attendees at the conference, and the staff members can’t possibly recognize everyone. This staff member didn’t know who Yan Fei was, so before going to ask his leaders, he wanted to know Yan Fei’s identity— after all, misguidedly asking could lead to reprimand.

"Never mind who I am, I might not know the other stuff, but I’m sure about this." Yan Fei grinned. "When Boss Li from Wanlong was purchasing beef and invited Chef Will, I happened to be there. The beef is the same as that used in Wagyu steakhouse, absolutely top-grade. You can have the leaders ask Boss Li, what I’m saying is definitely right."

"Well... okay!" The staff member hesitated for a moment, then scurried off to report back.

Xu Xiaoyan and the others left, and then started to snicker: "Aren’t you causing trouble for them? How they were supposed to host was already fixed, changing it now is so much hassle+"

"What trouble?" Yan Fei chuckled. "We strive to make the guest feel at home, if these foreigners like to eat steak, then we give them steak. What’s wrong with that?"

At the time of the noon meal, as a private entrepreneur, Yan Fei couldn’t sit with the ’distinguished guests.’ There were places arranged for people like him in the hall.

Seeing that among the cold dishes initially served, there indeed was a plate of beef salad, Yan Fei felt a sense of relief: It’s good to have known Ma Dan, otherwise through Teacher He finding Senior Brother Meng and then running to find Boss Li, after such a big hassle, if my beef ended up on the dining table in such a form and introduced to the foreigners, I would have been depressed.

Relieved yet feeling a bit distressed: The beef was cooked a bit too much, wasting its good quality!

"Young man, come, come, don’t be shy, eat, pick up your chopsticks!" A portly middle-aged boss next to Yan Fei saw him sitting there lost in thought and warmly invited him, "It’s your first time attending such an exchange event, right? Outside isn’t like being at home, no matter whether the business goes well or not, you have to eat well. Don’t be shy, come on..."
