Chapter 352: Chapter 72: Hiring a Veterinarian (Happy New Year)_1

Yan Fei has been super busy these recent days. He spends his mornings purchasing cows and his afternoons and nights looking after these newly-bought cows. He’s annoyed to no end by Heizi who keeps mumbling behind him every day, asking why he didn’t agree to join the police station.

Heizi would only stop nagging when Yan Fei threatens to beat him up. Despite that, this guy’s work has seemed so distracted lately. Each time he sets his eyes on Yan Fei, he gives Yan Fei this pitiful look the same way a maiden does.

Yan Fei’s refusal to join the police station has become this guy’s Achilles heel! Who knows why this past delinquent views the job of a police as something holy!

When the money is gone, people can live blissfully! More cows to rear, more happiness!

Looking at the thirty-one big and small cows in his pasture, Yan Fei is in high spirits.

However, there’s an important task he needs to do. Once he’s bought all the cows, he heads directly to the veterinary station.

The vet station remains unchanged. The young and old vets usually aren’t too busy. Yan Fei goes straight to Zhang Hui and told him why he’s there.

Zhang Hui is taken aback: "You plan to hire me as a vet for your cattle farm? But I’m working here! If I give up this job, I..."

"I’m not asking you to quit." Yan Fei interrupts him. "Just need you to take a look twice a week, during your lunch break or after work. It’s just a few steps away, won’t affect your primary job. I’ll pay you 200 yuan a month for your trouble. Check on the cows whenever you have free time, so we could discover any health problems as early as possible."

"200 yuan? And I don’t have to quit this job?" Zhang Hui definitely can’t deny his interest. His salary at the vet station isn’t much! Although the job has fewer responsibilities and he can stay close to home, the pay isn’t very good.

Furthermore, it’s unlike any other jobs where he could pick up some side gigs. He has to be on call all the time for this job and it’s pretty much taking up all his weekends. Someone always has to be on duty at the vet station, day and night.

When he heard that he could make an additional 200 yuan by just helping to check on the cows, even if there would be more cows than usual, it still feels like a godsend opportunity!

"Exactly! I may have some knowledge, but there might be some minor issues I could miss when it’s me checking on the cows every day. Besides, what if they can’t locate me when I’m out doing something else and an emergency happens. I’m asking you to help, monitoring the cows as usual, and giving pointers on what to prevent or pay attention to. This can start this month. Just in time, as I got some new cows recently and desperately need your expertise!" Yan Fei seized the opportunity to persuade him.

Hearing this, what other objections could Zhang Hui have, he agrees right away!

Yan Fei had been stressed out by the bulk purchase of cows these few days.

These cows need to be quarantined from the original cows once they’re brought into the cattle farm and also need to be raised separately for a period of time. He has to constantly observe their feeding situation every day and check whether there’s any problem. This has been keeping him so busy that he doesn’t even have time to go to Dinosaur World. He’s afraid if he spends too much time there at night, he wouldn’t be able to return in time if there’s an emergency with the cows.

Employing Zhang Hui, someone professional with academic qualifications, technical skills, and practical experience, for just 200 yuan a month, would certainly save himself a lot of worries.

This idea, although originated from Yan Fei himself, was discussed with Ma Yongming before as he was worried that Zhang Hui wouldn’t go. But Boss Ma assured him immediately after hearing the offer that even the station’s old chief would agree, not to mention Zhang Hui.

Yan Fei thought the old chief was too old and he pulled along better with Zhang Hui. They are both young so it’s easier to get along, knowing that he’s a good guy, Yan Fei decided to approach him.

The moment this matter was settled, Yan Fei really felt a weight had lifted off his shoulders.

Every one of these thirty-plus cows, with most of them being breeding bulls he plans to rear and ten more expected to mature after the New Year, adds up to a hefty sum even by imagining it, the pressure is immense.

Even Yan Fei finds it stressful, let alone the workers in the cattle farm. They live in constant fear that something might go wrong and for them, that would be a life or death situation!

With a professional who frequently checks in now, it’s undeniably like they’ve all been given a dose of calm. Absolutely, it could help everyone to relax a lot more.

With the sudden increase of so many cows, Yan Fei has no choice but to devote more time at home for an extended period, unable to go see his wife.

Since Zhang Hui accepted Yan Fei’s offer, he was quick to get started and arrived that night after work.

Even though he had agreed to come twice a week with Yan Fei, he didn’t feel right doing just that. Setting aside the fact that he’s being paid to do the job, they had a good relationship to begin with. Making a few more trips wasn’t a big deal.

Furthermore, his time is idly spent during work, and even more so after work. With something to do now which could earn him some money, he’s actually pretty enthusiastic.

After coming a few times, he simply considered this place as his second home. Apart from his working hours, he’s basically resident here now — almost made Yan Fei touched enough to consider giving him a raise.

The reason it’s almost is because Zhang Hui chose to stay here constantly for a reason.

This guy is a bachelor. He usually eats and lives alone, often cleaning up the last meal’s pots and pans before cooking the next meal. If he could get by without making a meal, he would. The important thing was not to starve himself.

But now that he’s at the cattle farm, not only is the food good but the ambience during meals is lively too. Even when Yan Fei is absent, he would eat with eight or nine people, a big bunch of people young and old, just like a big family. How could it not be lively?

As for the dirt and distinct smell in the cattle farm, do you think a vet who cleans up animal poop on a day-to-day basis would care about that?

And for the cattle farm, what’s the difference between feeding eight or nine people? At least Yan Fei was content. When he saw Zhang Hui lurking around the cattle farm, trying to find something to do to prove his worth for that 200 yuan, he chuckled. He thought to himself, this 200 yuan is really worth it!

Once he’s done daydreaming, he delivered a big fat pig to Ma Yongming’s house.

He initially saved two pigs for his own engagement banquet, yet he didn’t even finish one. This remaining pig has been kept until now.

It’s just in time for Ma Yongming’s banquet, so this fatty pig finally comes in handy. He was planning to gift it to Ma Yongming, but Ma Yongming wouldn’t take advantage of him and insisted on paying.

This could be considered as a little bit of income for the cattle farm after their crazy spending spree.

After the banquet, Yan Fei feels like he can finally take a breather.

What a busy life!

He wonders when he’ll become like the big boss on TV, free from all worries, driving around all day — he doesn’t need a female secretary like them, having his wife would suffice!
