Chapter 463: Chapter 158: It’s Right to Let the Dogs Out, Useful Little Notebook_1
Yan Fei and the others all watched Lin Baoguo eat a few bites before he finally spoke: "Alright, I know now. It’s not your fault. They clearly came to dupe us, thinking we’re fools. Unleashing the tiger on them was a bit excessive, it’d have been just right to let the dogs bite them. Next time, don’t flaunt your tiger, just let the dogs bite..."
Heizi quickly gave a thumbs up, trying to butter Lin Baoguo up: "Director Lin is wise!"
Lin Baoguo gave him a stern look: "Huh, you dare to butter me up now. Weren’t you too afraid to speak up before?"
Heizi shamelessly replied, "I used to think you were stern and impartial, now I know you also have a warm side like spring..."
Lin Baoguo didn’t let him finish, casually throwing the remaining cucumber tail at him: "Enough, enough, you’re talking rubbish! When did I become an old man? It seems you’re just Xiao Fei’s lackey, always goofing around with him and never try to advise him!"
Heizi didn’t mind being hit with the cucumber. He considered it an honor to joke around with the director. He happily sat back and waited for his "entry fee".
Only then did Yan Fei get the chance to discuss the matter of keeping the small sable with Lin Baoguo, who immediately disagreed: "If they want to take it away, they should take it all. They can’t leave a few for you. These are protected animals, what are you doing keeping them?"
Being the head of an institution, he was very clear about these principles; he couldn’t allow Yan Fei and the others to fool around.
Yan Fei immediately brought up the bill, his biggest weapon - even though he hadn’t written it yet, it didn’t hurt to mention it!
Seeing this, Lin Baoguo rubbed his forehead in frustration: "This is a difficult problem. Let me ask around. The Forestry Bureau still hasn’t given us any updates. They’re a financially strapped institution; they can’t even afford a thousand, let alone ten thousand. They’d have to sell their pants. Anyway, it’s lively enough here. You keep the animals for now! I’ll remind the higher-ups later and see what they say."
After speaking, he looked at Yan Fei’s tiger in surprise: "How is it that in such a short time, your tiger has grown so much? You seem to have a knack for feeding any kind of animal! Cows, pigs, now this tiger and bear, all plump and well-fed. What are you feeding them?"
Indeed, they’ve grown a lot! These animals in the wild wouldn’t possibly gorge on meat in every meal— fluctuating between hunger and satiety is their natural state. Now that they’re at Yan Fei’s, they have a daily supply of dinosaur meat, which is ideal for their growth stage—they’d be strange if they didn’t grow bigger!
But he couldn’t outright say it was dinosaur meat! Yan Fei mumbled in his mind but managed to confidently say, "Every day I’m catching fish from the river for them. There’s hardly any big fish left in the river now. Would they not grow bigger? Now I’m raising them, and they can be taken away at any time. What’s the point of raising them this way? I asked for a few sable cubs, and I can’t even get that?"
Lin Baoguo didn’t argue with him—he had just said he’s feeding meat, now it changed to fish. He continued: "You scaring people with the tiger was a good opportunity. If the higher-ups investigated, they would take away all these animals. It’s a shame that the county bureau made clear their stance. Otherwise, they would have come to arrest people and seize the tiger directly! They can’t take the people, it’s perfect for them to take the tiger."
Xu Xiaoyan was startled at the mention of arresting people: "Who’s coming to arrest people?"
Lin Baoguo was impatient with Yan Fei, but patient with this college student, patiently explaining: "Those two who were scared ran back to the city and reported you to the Public Security Bureau. They said you were privately keeping protected animals and even used a tiger to scare people. The person handling the case was shocked, saying there were such audacious people in our area –turning the world upside down, weren’t they? They then called our county bureau to inquire about the situation."
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan was still worried, he comforted her: "Don’t worry about this. The county bureau explained the situation at the time, and they didn’t even consider coming once they heard. Now they just want me to ask what really happened at the time! No one’s pursuing the matter of raising the tiger, they just want to know why you scared people."
Everyone understood upon hearing this. Who would want to deal with the issue of the tiger? They would then have to find a place for the tiger. Can’t you tie it to the side of the road to graze and guarantee it won’t starve? As Yan Fei said, tens of catties of meat a day, several thousand expenses a month, whoever takes on this responsibility would have to bear the burden. Besides the finance bureau, no other unit could afford to raise it!
So this tiger has truly become a hot potato that no one wants now!
Having heard Lin Baoguo say there were people pursuing the matter of scaring them, Heizi immediately became indignant: "Then we should pursue their cheating and deception too? They have the nerve to complain?"
Lin Baoguo pointed at him and laughed: "That’s why I say you two are full of sneaky ideas, but none of them are practical. You were in the right in this matter; it would have been simple to deal with those people. But you had to scare them with a tiger, now they’ve seized the moral high ground, and those two are feigning illness waiting for our response!"
Yan Fei quickly asked for advice humbly: "Come on Uncle Baoguo, have another tomato! Take your time to tell us, given that situation, how should we deal with them?"
Lin Baoguo laughed: "If I don’t tell, will you not give me a tomato?"
He only said a few words eating the tomato, and the three of them suddenly had a realization: indeed, in comparison to Director Lin, our level of cunning is still not enough!
Only after Lin Baoguo finished speaking, did he sigh, "I really shouldn’t be telling you all these dirty tricks, but now, with your family business growing bigger and bigger, you are bound to encounter all sorts of strange people and incidents. The sooner I inform you about these things, the more alert you’ll be. Don’t end up being duped by someone without even realizing it!"
Considering the method Lin Baoguo described, Yan Fei and his companions couldn’t help but nod, realizing it was indeed hard to guard against.
"Anyway, don’t worry about any of this," Lin Baoguo continued, "As soon as I get back, I’ll report that you are with the armed department. It’s none of my business - whoever wants to deal with it can handle it! If it comes to it, we can counter-sue them for fraud. This matter is over and done with and no one can dig up any results. Let them make noise if they want, you guys just concentrate on raising your cattle and growing your crops. I have to go now, but we can discuss further developments if they occur."
He was about to start the motorcycle when he suddenly remembered something, turning to Yan Fei, "By the way, the patrol issue from before, the one about the short guy, was resolved earlier this year. We only got the news because it was right before the New Year. So you don’t have to worry about that anymore."
Yan Fei nodded, knowing Lin Baoguo was talking about the earliest patrol case where he accidentally caught a wildlife poacher, which led to him acquiring the current animal park.
After Lin Baoguo left, Yan Fei reached into his pocket, pulling out a small notebook with a smirk, "Who would have thought that this thing could be so useful!"
What he held was his militia certificate.
This thing, you could say it’s useless since it doesn’t have much use in daily life, but when it does become useful, it’s definitely helpful.
Heizi chimed in, "Having an Uncle who’s a Bureau Chief is great. I heard about the militia recruitment before. I wonder why I didn’t think of joining? Brother Fei, if they hold a militia recruitment next year, can I join too?"
Xu Xiaoyan teased him with a big smile, "Even if you wanted to, they wouldn’t accept you because of your infamous past!"
Everyone knew what infamous past she was referring to. Heizi momentarily hung his head in defeat, but quickly regained his spirits. "Brother Fei, why didn’t you think of this certificate earlier? Imagine if you showed them this certificate and arrested those bastards yesterday without knowing they were from the pharmaceutical company, giving them a good beating and taking them to a police station, alleging fraud. Giving them a dose of their own medicine without a way to retaliate–just thinking about it is satisfying!"
Although this method did not suit Yan Fei’s style and wasn’t as satisfying as unleashing a tiger, Yan Fei had to admit it was more effective, "Alas! I’m still no match for the sly old fox, Director Lin!"
So this was the idea Uncle Lin had come up with, favouring his own nephew. Worried about Yan Fei being taken advantage of in future, he offered some preemptive advice to prepare him for different scenarios. After all, he didn’t know that Yan Fei was a shape-shifting monster.
Yan Fei had overhead those two men revealing they were from the pharmaceutical company, but others didn’t know that!
Those two pharmaceutical company guys had arrived with fraudulent intentions, very likely without carrying any ID. But even if they did, it wouldn’t change a thing. They never showed it.
Should an ordinary person encounter this kind of discreet fraud–after all, they did come under the pretense of doing a deal–it would seem quite excessive to directly apprehend them. The most they could do would be to report their suspicions to the police station.
However, Yan Fei, being a part of the militia with a duty to preserve local peace, could have apprehended the two men on suspicion of impersonating pharmaceutical company officials trying to swindle him of his bezoars. Even if they ended up producing identification later, it would still just be an unfortunate misunderstanding.
And if they were unlucky enough not to have any identification, they would deserve their bad luck. After dealing with them, he could deliver them to the police station to be collected by their company.
As for them enduring some minor punishments, such as the friendly local policemen accidentally neglecting to feed the two suspects a meal or two, that would be credited to the work attitude of the local staff and no one would look into it.
In the end, those two men would undoubtedly suffer both humiliation and hardship, swallowing a bitter pill with nowhere to complain.
However, the real point was to remind Boss Yan something important: regardless of the identity of those two, you were in your own territory with an advantage in time, location, and people. But you only thought to brute force your way without utilizing your own advantages. This was why his uncle looked down upon him.
At the same time, Lin Baoguo also wanted to remind Yan Fei to be careful when he left his familiar places, especially when stepping into other people’s territory! As a result, Yan Fei was now rubbing his chin pondering: why did he feel like he was becoming a local bully by doing this? In a TV drama, a character like this would generally be the main villain, right?
Well, okay! Releasing the tiger to chase people away didn’t differ much from being a local bully!
Being a local bully it is then! Let’s start with that, and with continuous hard work, someday we might even become a substantive power!
