Chapter 673: Chapter 321: An unexpected Accident_1

Yan Fei was brushing off Lin Baoguo’s sullen gaze, making a phone call with his legs crossed: "Director Dai, you didn’t make it clear when you called this afternoon, so I have to ask! Why did you guys halt our technology transfer?"

"You can’t explain the reasons? So, do you think we can still go on with it? I’ve already paid the deposit... So, I won’t refund the deposit, can you hold the money for me and apply for us to continue our collaboration...?"

"No problem, I don’t mind a few days’ delay as long as you say we can move forward, I’m willing to wait! I know it’s not your fault, let’s not bother with pleasantries, please put in a good word for me. Is it because the Japanese don’t want me to proceed? Please have a good talk with them... okay okay, thank you... "

After hanging up, Yan Fei, seeing the gloomy Lin Baoguo, cheekily took out his contract: "Read it and you’ll see why I need this technology so much. More and more cattle I’ll be rearing in the future, I need to breed good quality breeding bulls. This technology is a must-have. What’s the big deal with me using your phone? The phone is for public use and you don’t have to pay for it yourself. By your expression, you’d think I was asking for a handout, and you’re my uncle!"

With a petulant expression, Lin Baoguo snatched the contract: "You have your own phone, why must you come here to make trouble? Can’t you see how busy I am?"

"The convicts have been hauled away, what are you still occupied with? Given your modest salary, why do you need to find work to do all day? How about this, just resign. As my cattle farm expands, I’ll need to hire a few people specifically to maintain order, you can be the captain if you want. Rest assured, the wages won’t short-change you, definitely more than your current director’s salary..." Yan Fei joked gleefully.

"You got some nerve! Turning from a director into a gatekeeping captain for you..." Lin Baoguo was verbally jousting while flipping through the contract, but suddenly he stopped, his eyes widened in shock staring at the contract, unable to utter another word.

Despite not being much of a talker, he was a department director after all and had a little dignity at his disposal. But every time he spoke with his nephew, he couldn’t help but engage in a tit for tat.

However, this time he was truly speechless. After staring at the contract for a while, he finally raised his head and said: "Xiao Fei, is this real? You didn’t write this to tease me, did you?"

"Of course it’s real, otherwise, why would Mayor Chen have invited me to lunch?" Yan Fei retorted smugly. "To tell you frankly, the secretary of the county committee invited my wife and I to dinner last night, hehe..."

Lin Baoguo still asked incredulously: "Is everything you said true? You’re not fooling me?"

"Why would I deceive you? Can I trick you out of any money?" Yan Fei replied with disdain. "I came here this morning to discuss this matter with you. Unfortunately, we were delayed due to unforeseen events. Now, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time to talk about it. Everyone else knows about it except you, you’d blame me if I didn’t inform you, wouldn’t you? You didn’t even offer me a glass of water after making me wait so long, and now you don’t even believe me? If you still don’t believe me, fine. Just give me the contract back, I’m leaving..."

"No, no, no, I admit my mistake, alright? Let me read it a little longer..." Lin Baoguo finally believed, gripping the contract with a beaming smile, he began to read it eagerly.

At this moment, Director Dai of the Cattle Research Institute was walking out of his office with a thoughtful look on his face. Upon seeing the bustling crowd in front of the building, as lower-level staff, he felt helpless. He didn’t say anything but contemplated before heading upstairs.

Once he arrived at Chai Qi’s office, he knocked a few times without any response. He knocked again and no reply, so he knocked even harder, still no sign.

He suddenly had a bad feeling about this and quickly turned around to shout at the crowd downstairs: "Does anyone know if Mr. Chai Qi is in his office today?"

"Definitely!" Someone downstairs answered. "Just now that lackey... Master Guo, wasn’t he yelling and running upstairs? If Chai Qi wasn’t there, why would he run upstairs..."

"There’s been an accident, someone hurry up here..." Dai Chengfu cutoff the speaker, then began pounding on the door. "Mr. Chai Qi, are you there? Mr. Chai Qi..."

By this time, other people had also arrived and seeing him shout with no response from the room, they started to panic.

Usually, it’s a simple matter, if someone inside needs help, just smash a hole in the glass to open the window.

The windows in this old building’s offices are wooden, without any toughened glass protection. As long as the window is open, someone can climb in. But this is a Japanese office, unlike the other offices that use transparent glass windows without any covers, this one has curtains.

At the height of desperation, someone brave enough finally said: "Smash the glass, open the window to see what’s going on inside, just replace the broken glass with a piece from my office later..."

After smashing a hole in the glass, he managed to open the window lock and drew back the curtain.

That’s when everyone froze.

From the window, a gaping hole in the roof was clearly visible with the blue sky and white clouds overhead. Below the clouds... the missing prefabricated slab now lay in large chunks strewn around the office causing utter chaos.

Underneath one of the chunks, a pair of legs and a pool of blood could be seen.

As for what was further inside, nothing was visible.

Without any more hesitation, despite the shock, someone swiftly climbed in and opened the door.

As everyone rushed in and saw the scene, they didn’t know how to react!

There’s no need to call an ambulance, and there’s no point in first aid anymore - anyone with eyes can see that he couldn’t be more dead.

He was definitely dead as a doornail. To Yan Fei, it was no big deal, as these were not Chinese lives. If they were Chinese, he might have shown some restraint. But he had no inhibitions whatsoever when dealing with these Japanese, hence why he smashed everything and looked around before flying away.

It was precisely because of this that when he saw Guo lackey, he just shoved him, expecting him to trip over. Since his master was already dead, he couldn’t stir up any trouble -- of course, Yan Fei didn’t anticipate that this guy would end up paralyzed. He really didn’t expect the matter to escalate so much. His strength had been growing recently, and he lost control this time. He only meant to make him take a fall, without causing real trouble.

When people from the institute thought about this incident, they found it quite baffling.

It was already bewildering enough that the building collapsed, but the fact that no one discovered it even after a long while made it even stranger.

However, it’s a done deal, and if you want to get to the bottom of it, there is a reason.

Gradually, some people have drawn conclusions about why such cases occur.

In Wan City, there are southeast winds in the spring, and it’s also a common tradition in China to design buildings facing south.

When the building collapsed, the whole chunk went down. The walls on all sides remained, so even if there were dust, it was blown upwards and towards the back windows--- but no one was there. The wind along with the dust, scattered away without anyone noticing.

The windows and the entrance upfront were not only shut but also had curtains, most importantly, the office on the ground floor was empty as people were running about outside.

Otherwise, the massive vibrations from the roof would have indicated some issues.

For other offices, they didn’t have such a strong reaction. The walls of the old building were all load-bearing walls, quite thick!

In the beginning, everyone was focused on saving Guo Guozhu, and they either ignored or pretended not to care about what exactly happened. By the time everyone started to find the cause, quite some time had passed and some evidence had vanished.

Another reason was that everyone had fled, leaving the offices empty. The weather was warm and all the windows were ajar, allowing a clear view inside the rooms---Mr. Chai Qi and his people usually acted high and mighty, so in such a situation, everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored them.

In short, through a series of mishaps, this problem arose.

There was no previous experience in the institute, seeing that people were in that condition, no matter what, human life comes first. We can’t just stand by and let a person be flattened by a pile of concrete!

Therefore, they called over some brave workers to help lift up the concrete and get the people out.

You have to admit, breeding bull is nice. Since the institute often slaughters cows, and sometimes performs dissections for research when cows get sick. Therefore, most people could keep their lunches down despite the carnage.

By the time the relevant parties arrived, these intellectuals, along with the rough workers, had already cleaned up the scene.

As for pursuing accountability for the jerry-built project, there was no way to do that.

The building materials used in the past were all non-private. Various labor service companies, material companies, etc., many of them have now been terminated. Even those that haven’t been, went through numerous leaders, so how are they going to find the culprit?

Moreover, the matter involved foreigners, so even if anyone had suspicions, they couldn’t voice them out. The best thing to do was treat it as an accident.

In the office of the local police chief of Sancha River, Yan Fei waited for Lin Baoguo to go through the contract with a sigh, then put the contract back in his bag and made a small request: "Uncle Baoguo, I want to find a professional accountant, do you know anyone who can help me out?"

Lin Baoguo nodded his head and began to ponder, while also admonishing Yan Fei: "You do need a professional accountant in your place. You can’t always rely on your wife, she needs to go to school! Furthermore, I think you care for your wife and don’t want her dealing with all those accounts..."

As he said these words and thought, after quite a while, he finally said helplessly, "I don’t know anyone with those qualifications. You need someone you can trust and who is professional to handle these accounts. The ones I know are rural cashiers, they’re only good for small amounts of cash, they’ve never handled this much money before! Why don’t you first ask your dad to see if he knows anyone? I will also think about it, and let you know if I come up with anything..."

Yan Fei looked at him in contempt: "I knew you were unreliable! If you don’t want to help, then forget it, but don’t tell me to find someone else, hmph..."

Seeing his huff and ready to leave, Lin Baoguo felt frustrated: "Don’t leave, explain yourself. How am I not helping you?"

"What’s the point of explaining? Anyway, you’re unreliable." Yan Fei stopped and looked discontented. "Can I trust whoever my dad recommends? If they take my money and run away, what will I do? We’re talking about hundreds of thousands here, who wouldn’t be tempted? Can I trust ordinary people?"

"Well, then explain how I am unreliable. You can’t expect me to help with your accounting, can you? I don’t even know how to!" Lin Baoguo was even more indignant.

"Regardless, you know someone who can do the accounting and that we both trust. If you don’t ask her, that means you’re not being helpful..." Yan Fei argued self-righteously.
