Chapter 1744: Chapter 826 Machine Tool: Surprises and Shocks_2

"Hahaha!" Zhan Liujun laughed again, patting the middle-aged man’s shoulder. "I’m happy, I’m happy! Don’t worry, I’m fine. The old man talks about youthful madness, holding on to the yellow in the left and the azure in the right..."

As he spoke, he even began gesturing enthusiastically, those lines of poetry carrying a bit of a Qin Opera tune. The old but strong voice resonated across the dark fields, harmonizing with the whistling winter wind, causing the busy people around to involuntarily lower their voices and speed up their movements.

The middle-aged man looked at the old man standing on the machine, as if on a tattered ship braving the wind, and couldn’t help but motion over the Lame Man who had been waiting. Then, he opened his mouth, finding something to say: "So, really no more clues?"

"Reporting to the chief, the same as last time." The Lame Man stood straight and saluted.

"No need for that, no need, I’m just casually asking, relax a bit." The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand to let him relax. "If there’s nothing to do, think about it, maybe you’ll remember something. It’s not a demand, just a small request, okay?"

"Yes, chief." The Lame Man still tried to stand more upright, attempting to make his shoulders level.

"Alright, at ease, don’t be constrained, you all have done a great job again this time, feel free to make any requests later." The middle-aged man tried to appear friendly, though with lights flashing everywhere, the Lame Man might not even see it. "Don’t underestimate these machines, did you hear what Old Zhan said just now? The big guy from last time was delivered, everyone studied it for a bit, and found that certain key parts couldn’t be made with current technology. This time, he’s a bit happier, really a great contribution."

"Think about it carefully later, last time I was rushed, and couldn’t be there in person. This time I’m here. In the future, let’s contact each other directly, if you have any needs, just report directly to me. We soldiers have many rules, but we’re efficient, don’t worry, when Old Zhan comes around, he will surely come to thank you personally. Oh, at that time, don’t mind him being verbose, he might ask even more questions than I do..."

"There’s really no new discovery this time." The Lame Man felt so comfortable speaking to the middle-aged man that he couldn’t help but say this. "Last time I was even taken in, this time I was just told a few words at the door. Even shorter than last time, after seeing my fake watch, they just left!"

The fake watch had become the root of the Lame Man’s resentment, he always felt the mysterious visitor didn’t linger because he was ill-prepared. Broke as he was, a so-called treasure watch he had ’valued’ for many years, turned out to be a fake...

After the middle-aged man came and understood the situation, upon hearing the Lame Man mention the fake watch again, he immediately burst into laughter: "No problem, no problem, I’ll specially approve it later and get you two genuine ones. Then you can have one on your left hand and one on your right..."

Saying this, he couldn’t help but laugh again, and the Lame Man, infected by this, also relaxed and chuckled apologetically.

Not far away, Director Pi and others watched this scene and couldn’t help but laugh too.

Someone whispered: "This guy, wasn’t afraid of death before, now he’s acting all cautious..."

...

"Yan Xiaofei, were you really scared just now?" In the hotel room, Xu Xiaoyan had slept for a while and now couldn’t fall back asleep suddenly. After some time, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Hmph, startled me." Yan Fei pretended to look fierce and grabbed the girl. "Really want to teach you a lesson."

"Dare you?" The girl wasn’t afraid of him. "Do you know why I scared you?"

"I don’t know."

"Hmph, you keep me on edge now, and I feel maybe someday you’ll give me a big scare too." The girl muttered softly. "Don’t you think?"

"..." This made Boss Yan, who always considered himself calm, feel a bit anxious. He used to be skeptical about women’s sixth sense, but now he started to believe it!

Thinking about the surprise he’s been planning for his wife lately, he was left speechless.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Suddenly, the girl flipped around, her big watery eyes staring at him in the dim light until he felt goosebumps, then she snorted coldly and turned away. "I knew you were up to no good, hmph! I’m going to sleep, you can’t sleep. Think it over and confess if you’re hiding something, figure out how to tell me."

"..." What could Yan Fei do, he could only continue to stay silent, unsure where to put his arm. It was the girl who took the initiative to place his stiff arm properly.

...

"Yan Xiaofei, come over, let Brother Meng take another picture for us..." As the morning sun rose the next day, the few people who had dined together the previous night arrived at the Great Wall.

In the Forbidden City, they needed to set a timer for photos, but not here, with plenty of people, they could take photos anytime. The girl’s spirits were clearly high as she pulled Yan Fei along for snapshots every few steps.

Yan Fei felt like a marionette, though the girl hadn’t said anything since early morning, he’d been feeling instinctively guilty. On the way here, he was afraid his wife would suddenly say something to scare him. It wasn’t until being in a group that he relaxed.

However, he still felt a bit troubled!

What if she asks again when they get back, what should he do?

He underestimated Miss Xu Xiaoyan’s wisdom, as she hadn’t asked anything over the past few days. Even when it was time to start school back in the Provincial City, she acted like nothing had happened that night, without bringing anything up.

Yan Fei spent two days on edge, and then he didn’t have to worry anymore.

Director Liu from the Environmental Protection Bureau called him and even invited him to a meal, talking about the leadership’s decision to visit his place for inspection. Of course, this couldn’t happen in the next two days, they’d have to wait.

Because a rural work conference was going on during these two days.

The main points of this conference were improving agricultural product quality, developing animal husbandry, processing agricultural products, optimizing agricultural layout, actively developing efficient agriculture and export ventures, and expanding rural employment and income growth opportunities.

Basically, everything Boss Yan’s company was currently involved in connected with these points.

This is how opportunities arise; during the ebb and flow of the times, almost every enterprise could catch such ’good times’. As long as they steadily expand and grow, to be frank, waiting for various preferential policies and support to come knocking is not difficult.

Now, Boss Yan was quite focused on the meeting, waiting for it to end and for the province and city to continue bringing them ’benefits’.

Support funds are a minor issue, export tax rebates are deserved, major promotions, various inspections would come in waves. Without spending a dime on advertising, the name of Trump’s Flower Farming and Livestock Company would soon appear in television news, morning and evening papers, and various reports.

It’s not that Boss Yan was craving these perks but because the situation demanded it. Moreover, being a model isn’t easy, at least the higher the exposure of a company, the more public attention it receives, if problems arise, they will be magnified to the public.

Enjoying benefits isn’t free, you have to maintain the exemplary image without damage, which requires real financial input. For instance, as the cattle farm expands, the original pollution purification equipment is gradually inadequate, requiring further investment and construction, etc.

Upon receiving this news, Yan Fei felt that perhaps after Director Liu’s mentioned leadership visited, there would be another wave of other leaders visiting. So he called Heizi immediately, asking him to recruit more ’idle hands’ during this period to tidy up the place a bit, and not to waste any areas that could establish a good image—like slogans on the walls, etc.

Besides that, he specifically called Anderson, who was on the other side of Earth and hadn’t been sleeping well, to ask if their cattle had arrived and what the situation was.

Anderson was even more anxious, if air transport wasn’t somewhat impractical, he wouldn’t want to continue using the leisurely maritime shipping method.

Yan Fei was reasonable, comforted him, saying he might visit after the New Year—no need to say more for now. The photos Anderson was eagerly expecting were all developed, Yan Fei originally planned to mail them, but then thought he might as well wait until he visits!
