Chapter 1700: Chapter 806: Stealing Books Is Not Theft, Ren Fei

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest... but don’t forget yourself in the process.

At this moment, Boss Yan really felt the depth of this statement.

The gains from last night were quite significant. Previously, he only asked the coolies to provide him with maps and the like, and he never asked for too many details. It wasn’t until last night that he realized that banks are ranked, and those with the word "reserve" in their name? That’s where the big vaults are!

And the other rewards were pretty good too. All in all, everything was just so perfect.

So it was inevitable that Boss Yan got a little cocky.

Of course, it might be partially because he was a bit bored when he set off just now. So he didn’t think too much and acted directly—in fact, Boss Yan has always been the sort of person who turns his thoughts into reality right away. Even if he can’t realize them immediately, he’ll get moving on them right away...

Boss Yan wasn’t just stunned. He almost wanted to smack himself. He had already reported to his wife that he’d be heading home soon, and now he couldn’t leave... The kicker? He just managed to mess up the plane himself! If he wanted to complain, who could he blame?

After Yang Xing left, Yan Fei sulked for a while. Then he checked the time, figured it was noon back home, and hastily called his wife to report in. Of course, he only mentioned the flight was delayed, so that silly girl wouldn’t end up worrying at home for nothing.

After finishing the call, he entered his Dinosaur World. No. 1 Coolie came running over eagerly: "Boss, what do you think of this gesture I made?"

Yan Fei glanced down absentmindedly and spat out a single word: "Vulgar!"

Then added, "Unbearably vulgar."

It was a big gold bracelet inlaid with a row of diamonds—diamonds of all colors, too. Honestly, the value was pretty high. Just the sheer weight of the gold bracelet itself was worth quite a bit, not to mention the various colored diamonds. The price was undoubtedly sky-high.

The problem was that the overall design was terrible. Such valuable diamonds were slapped together in a colorful mess that couldn’t look more vulgar. To put it bluntly, this thing looked like something you’d find on a toy stall outside a primary school—so tacky even the kids wouldn’t want it.

No. 1 Coolie turned pale like a frostbitten eggplant. He had ruined quite a few pieces of jewelry to make this thing. Originally, he thought it would be a great achievement, but it ended up earning him this kind of evaluation. Now, how would he explain all those broken jewelry items?

Yan Fei casually said his piece and didn’t pay it much mind. After walking a while, he noticed No. 1 Coolie following behind, looking uneasy. "Do you have something to say?"

"To make this bracelet, I disassembled several pieces of jewelry from your warehouse," No. 1 Coolie admitted with gritted teeth. Whether you stretch your neck or shrink it, the blade still falls. No escape. "I was originally thinking of giving it to the boss lady..."

"Oh..." Yan Fei responded absentmindedly and fell into deep thought.

"So, boss, how should I be punished for tinkering with your belongings without permission?" No. 1 Coolie eventually couldn’t help but ask after seeing no sign of a reaction from him.

"Punishment? Go shovel cow manure for half a month!" Yan Fei said offhandedly.

This punishment was far lighter than what No. 1 Coolie expected!

No. 1 Coolie instantly beamed with joy, bowing enthusiastically: "Boss, do you have any other orders? If not, I’ll head off to work right now."

"Go, go!" Yan Fei waved his hand absentmindedly.

To give him credit, that bracelet—unbearably vulgar as it was—came at just the right time. It reminded Boss Yan that he needed to prepare an appropriate gift for his wife.

Speaking of jewelry, it’s not a bad idea. Now that the girl’s graduating, even if she continues onto grad school, it’s different from university—she can start wearing some suitable jewelry.

Thinking about his wife graduating, Yan Fei immediately thought of something else: for a university graduation, shouldn’t there be some kind of memento or gift?

Boss Yan has actually been learning all along. Especially when it comes to figuring out how to make his wife happy faster, he’s been putting in quite a bit of effort. But, to be honest, this is one of those things that really depend on talent. Some people have all the theoretical knowledge in the world, but when it comes to practice, they mess up left and right.

And then there are others who seem clueless but somehow end up hitting the jackpot—like how some people in daily life, the ones who talk the talk, aren’t always the first to get married. Meanwhile, the clumsy, inarticulate types are the first to snuggle up under the covers with someone after stepping out into society.

Boss Yan used to be one of those clueless types who somehow managed to fool his wife into coming home with him. But now, he’s been ’studying’ diligently for ages and still hasn’t quite mastered the art.

It’s clear that some things really do align with that saying: You can plant flowers with care, but they won’t bloom; yet throw a willow branch down casually, and it springs to life.

Take this instance, for example: Boss Yan nearly forgot to prepare a heartfelt gift for his wife. Originally, he thought he had plenty of things lying around and could just grab two random items, but No. 1 Coolie’s reminder made it clear to him—some gifts, if given, might be worse than not gifting anything at all!

Thinking along these lines, he started considering what his wife truly needed.

Material things? Miss Xu Xiaoyan isn’t lacking anything these days. And with Yan Fei—a big shot—backing her up, there’s no need to chase after material possessions intentionally. So, jewelry could just serve as an add-on. It couldn’t be the main gift.

Then...

Yan Fei pondered for a long time and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: books.

His wife is preparing for graduate school entrance exams. If he could bring her some legal books from America, maybe they’d be helpful. There’s a saying, "A stone from another mountain can polish jade." Different types of books, though not directly helpful for exams, could spark new ideas and insights.
