Chapter 550: Chapter 230 Old Man in the Bamboo Forest_2

He had been worried about Heizi and his team getting into trouble, but instead they had returned before him. Not only did they bring back more calves, but their calves seemed healthier than the ones in his truck.

His side not only had lesser quality calves, but also unnecessarily brought back a few people, which was very frustrating.

He was quite upset, so he left Brother Heilong and his gang behind, instructing Heizi and his men to ’keep an eye’ on them. He asked Xu Xiaoyan to start writing ’a complaint’ - after all, as the party involved, they would have to write one anyway, so better start preparing in advance.

While they were having dinner after finishing the paperwork, he reminded Heizi and his men, "When you guys take those criminals to the police station later, tell the police that I’m too busy to come over..."

He really had no spare time. After the two drivers had dinner and said their goodbyes, Yan Fei had to show some appreciation to them. They had endured a tough journey helping him after all. If he didn’t show them some gratitude, how could he summon them with confidence for help in the future?

Although the cattle dealers might come over to deliver cattle, waiting without doing anything was not Yan Fei’s style. He needed to continue renting their vehicles to buy more calves. The amount of money he spent wasn’t a big deal, the key was to bring in the calves into his cattle farm to ease his heart!

Miss Xu Xiaoyan had not been idling at home either, she familiarized herself with all the processes in the cattle farm. Everything she talked about seemed well-organized, so it seemed like she was about to become the new manager of the cattle farm!

In fact, she was already quite capable of taking on the role.

Since the Credit Cooperative started talking about granting loans, the news had already spread out. Like Old Pan, Lin Baoguo, Ma Yongming, even Pang Fa, including Xu Xiaoyan’s father Old Xu, in short, many people who had some connection with Yan Fei have come to him wanting to raise cattle.

People have been regularly paying attention to the cattle ranch. News about the two trucks of calves being introduced to the farm spread so quickly that by the afternoon, there were people coming to negotiate about cooperating on cattle raising.

Although the agreement was on cooperative cattle raising, these people who came over didn’t really consider the cooperation to be equal. They all treated themselves like hired hands working for Boss Yan and their attitudes were exceedingly respectful.

Under these circumstances, every process was easily manageable. Therefore, Xu Xiaoyan had already started trial runs of signing the agreements.

In the past, Yan Fei had also asked Heizi and Lin Yumei to sign for him at the ranch, but found out that the cattle farmers were less motivated when they saw the signatures were not done by Yan Fei. This had resulted in Yan Fei having to step in personally. Now, Miss Xu was soon to become the manager, so there were no objections when she signed the documents. Some people even felt proud to have the contract signed by a college-educated manager.

After watching for a while, Yan Fei left happily—there was Lin Yumei and Ma Chao assisting Xu Xiaoyan, so he wasn’t needed here. He had to rush to the greenhouse to prepare for watermelon planting.

This also conveniently prevented Lin Baoguo from coming over and grumbling about him causing trouble when he found out about the mess. Lin Baoguo only found out about the calf purchasing trip to the outer county when it had already happened, and he quickly arranged for those few people involved to be locked up in the detention room.

He also told Hezi and his gang, "When you are back, tell Xiao Fei that this was a case of outsiders bullying us. He should stop avoiding me! In the future, if you guys encounter similar situations while buying cattle, make sure to assess the situation carefully, first ensure that you don’t get duped. Be extra careful when you are in other people’s territories. The matter of arresting people is secondary, ensuring that you can escape safely is the priority..."

He not only taught them how to handle situations but also gave them the phone number for the local police station. He told them if anything goes wrong in the future, someone should sneak away and call back quickly.

When had they ever been treated like this at a police station? Heizi was okay, he had been to the police station a few times with Yan Fei. The rest of them walked out of the police station with their chests held high, like they’d been given medals for military merit.

When Yan Fei arrived at the greenhouse, he unexpectedly saw Old Zhutou’s dog tied up at the entrance again, so he couldn’t resist going over to greet the old man.

He hadn’t seen Old Zhutou for a few days, the last time they had met was when Old Zhutou had brought his grandson over and asked him to save some of the watermelons. Now, those watermelon seedlings had dried up and Old Zhutou only appeared again.

Seeing Old Zhutou, Yan Fei was startled, "Old Zhutou, what happened to you? Are you sick?"

It’s no wonder he was surprised. Even if they hadn’t seen each other for quite a while, it wasn’t even two months. The Old Zhutou he last saw, who had left happily with his grandson, now looked so elderly as if he could barely walk. His hair had turned half white and he had lost a lot of weight, it was as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

When Yan Fei called him ’Old Zhutou’, he didn’t have the energy to object—his surname wasn’t even Zhu (bamboo). Yan Fei had just gotten used to calling him so because of his bamboo forest.

"Ah... I’ve been sick," Old Zhutou sighed. "Why don’t you let kids come and play here anymore?"

"We stopped letting the kids come a while ago. It’s too far, and it’s too much trouble. I’m very busy and there’s no one spare to come watch them here. Having a bunch of naughty kids playing around an area surrounded by rivers, it’s just not safe!"

"Ah..." Old Zhutou heaved another sigh. "It’s lively when there are a lot of people! Why won’t you let them come?"

Seeing his state, Yan Fei didn’t feel like dwelling on it. He just said his goodbye, "I’ve got things to do, I’m going back to work, you take care!"

Because he thought there was nothing left to plant in the greenhouse and hadn’t cleared out the cucumber vines that were nearly dead, he now started to work enthusiastically. As he was working, he heard Old Zhutou from outside: "Boss Yan, can you watch my dog? Could I come in and discuss something with you?"
