Chapter 539: Chapter 223: The Name that Brings Great Joy and Whets the Appetite_2

"The scope of operation is basically what you all do, this is not an issue either, just write it a bit broader when the time comes. No harm if you don’t end up needing everything, but if you do later, you will have to come back to revise..."

After saying all this, he concluded: "Don’t worry if you think there’s a lot here. Our requirements here are not that tight. Just prepare something in the ball-park, and I’ll help you flesh it out when the time comes..."

The process sure was simplified a lot. After Xu Xiaoyan and Yan Fei left the doors of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, they sighed and said: "Turns out what we learned from the textbooks and actual practice are quite different. I originally thought it would be much more complicated!"

Looking at all the clauses on the paper, Yan Fei was distressed: "And you don’t think this is complicated? My head is spinning!"

Xu Xiaoyan laughed and playfully hit him: "Give it a rest, they’ve already taken such good care of us. This is already the simplest process. They’ve prepared much of the documents for us. Otherwise, with our own efforts, even half a month might not be enough to finish them all. Let’s go quickly, we need to visit the Credit Cooperative in the afternoon. Otherwise, if they close before we get there, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow. I’ll take care of the remaining stuff tonight. Oh right, we also need to get a seal made. Where can we get that done? We’ll need to let them know in advance, otherwise if we have to wait a few days, that’s going to be a nuisance!"

"That’s not a problem, we can just get that done at Old Zhang’s place next to the post office. We can just pay him a bit extra and get him to work overtime to make it for us, should’t delay anything..."

The two of them were chatting as they turned onto the road where the buses back to Sancha river always pass through. They just happened to see a bus slowly coming their way. They ran over to get on board and found it hilarious as they remembered the conversation about the planes they had on the taxi earlier that morning in the provincial city.

After they had finished laughing, the girl suddenly said: "Oh no, we still need to think of a company name. What do you plan on naming it?"

Yan Fei hesitated: "Should we call it The Bridgehead Cow Farm Company?"

"No way, it sounds too common." She looked down on him. "Can’t you think of something that sounds better and more impressive?"

"How about Xu Xiaoyan Company then? Yan Fei and Xu Xing Company? Husband and Wife Company?" Yan Fei laughed.

"Yuck! Who’s your wife..." She turned red and glared at him. "Think properly, no playing around. The name should be appealing and meaningful. Besides, we’re mainly going to be selling beef in the future, when people mention beef, they’re going to think about our company name. Do you think that’s appropriate?"

"I got it! Let’s call it Living Fossil Company. There’s a lot of meaning behind that, living fossils are organisms that have survived for millions of years..."

"That doesn’t sound good. Imagine if we were selling beef and people asked where it’s from, and we told them it’s from the Living Fossil Company. Wouldn’t that sound strange?" She opposed. "The name should create an impression of a vibrant and thriving place. Just hearing it makes people think about green fields filled with cows and sheep. It should be soothing, makes people want to eat more..."

Yan Fei was speechless: "It’s just a company name, your requirements are way too high..."

"Not at all. Once we decide on the name, we’ll use it for a long time. It should be easy to remember and rolls off the tongue... Otherwise, if people find our name awkward to mention, that would be very bad!" Xu Xiaoyan said confidently.

"Why don’t you come up with one then? Fine, I’ll leave this task to you, come up with whatever you want!" Yan Fei simply pushed the task to her.

"Ugh... How could you be like this!" She said discontentedly. "I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I’m not satisfied with any of my ideas, so I wanted you to think about it!"

Yan Fei was frustrated: "So what have you come up with? Why don’t you share it? With so many requirements, you could spend your whole life thinking and still not come up with anything..."

"Who’s asking you to think for a lifetime? This is a big deal and definitely requires careful consideration! It would be even better if it could communicate that our primary business is cattle farming..." She said as she added more requirements!

"I’ve got it..." Yan Fei suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, interrupting her.

"What?" She was startled.

"The name!" Yan Fei was really speechless. "Aren’t we discussing the name? You don’t say anything when asked, but I’ve already thought of one, can you guess what it is?"

"No guess, just say it, and it better make sense!" Xu Xiaoyan said seriously.

"Call it Trumpet Flower Company!" Yan Fei gloated. "Didn’t you just say we should make it clear that our main business is raising cows? The trumpet flower is the morning glory, when people hear it, they’ll know we raise cows..."

Upon hearing this name, Xu Xiaoyan stared at him in silence first, then suddenly bent over laughing, patting his thigh while laughing: "You just have to talk nonsense... if you call it Trumpet Flower Company, people might think you are growing flowers! Who would know you are raising cows?"

Yan Fei watched her laugh and continued: "What do you understand? My name is meaningful, who doesn’t know that trumpet flowers are also called morning glories! Moreover, there’s a story behind morning glories, you’ve heard it before. Raising cows for prosperity—what a great metaphor. Furthermore, these trumpet flowers are everywhere. As soon as people see the name, they’ll recall the trumpet flowers growing by the fields and ditches; they’re so pretty! Pale blue, pink, shaped like small trumpets, paired up with green leaves..."

Just as he was speaking, Xu Xiaoyan stopped laughing and straightened up, looking at him. He instantly stopped talking. The young lady opened her mouth to say: "Go on! Keep talking, why did you stop?"

Yan Fei didn’t know what she meant by this, but since she asked him to continue, he did: "I mean, since the name can remind people of such beautiful flowers, it’s just like you mentioned about the ’lush grassland’..."

"Anything else?" The young lady asked him.

"Of course there’s more!" Yan Fei began to carry on again. "Trumpet flowers are everywhere, symbolizing that our company’s beef should be sold like the flowers, available everywhere! How good does the name sound, big trumpet, hehe..."

"Don’t rush to celebrate, is that all?" The young lady continued to press.

"Why wouldn’t there be?" Yan Fei continued with a firmed face. "Trumpet flowers are also medicinal! Not only pretty but also useful, proving that our company isn’t just showy, we’re substantial..."

"What kind of medicinal value does the trumpet flower have?" The young lady was curious.

"You don’t know? Morning Glory, just hearing the name gives it away, it’s the Chinese herb ’erchou’. That’s what we commonly refer to as such." Yan Fei was showing off, his face looking weirdly delighted as he chuckled. "This medicine can lift your spirits and whet your appetite!"

"I don’t know what ’erchou’ is either? Who said it, anyway, I haven’t heard of it." The young lady looked at his strange laugh and pouted. "How does this medicine lift your spirits and whet your appetite!"

"Hmm, ’erchou’ can stimulate the intestines, enhance gastrointestinal motility!" Yan Fei touched his smooth chin, looking like a pedant. "That’s right, it can also expel parasites. In other words, this medicine helps people with constipation and if you take enough, it’ll give you diarrhea... Think about it! Anyone who can’t poop must be suffering! Once they can, they’ll feel relieved all over, surely that will lift their spirits. Once their stomach is empty, won’t they have a good appetite and want to eat meat..."

By the end of his explanation, he himself couldn’t stop laughing. Miss Xu Xiaoyan had started laughing and punching his thigh when he mentioned diarrhea, and by the end, she was laughing so hard she was exhausted, completely unreservedly, with no image, she fell into his arms...

Luckily, the two of them always liked sitting in the back row of the bus as soon as they got on, which was convenient for their antics without worrying about being seen, otherwise people might think the young lady was crazy...

"Yan Xiaofei, you’re so bad..." The young lady laughed for a long time before finally stopping.

Seeing that there was no one on the seats on the other side of the aisle, Yan Fei kept holding on to the lady when she tried to get up: "It’s okay, there’s no one around, just sit like this. Tell me, what do you think of my name?"

"Let me go, there are so many people here! Stinky Little Yan Fei, let go of me right now!" The young lady was struggling to get up and speaking at the same time. "What you said does make sense, but I always feel that the name Trumpet Flower is a bit rustic..."

Yan Fei, sniffing the fragrance of the lady’s hair with a beautiful woman in his arms, muttered quietly, "Then let’s just call it Morning Glory instead. You are the flower, I am the cow, you leading me, just like when we were kids..."

The lady suddenly stopped struggling to get up...
