Chapter 695: Chapter 340: This is also called Beef _1
Just reminded by someone, everyone started to get worried, and Yan Fei was prepared to get off the car and fight their way through at any moment.
Who would have thought that when they arrived at the third village, the scene that unfolded was even more laughable. A few people collecting tolls, upon seeing two leading cars approaching, actually took a few steps back, pretending like they didn’t notice any cars coming.
Even when the first car drove up beside them, money extended for tolls, they simply looked away, faces shouting ’I see nothing.’ Only when the drivers of the cars responded and had moved past them did those ’I see nothing’ people returned to the roadside and called after the cars to collect the tolls.
After passing this village, everyone in both cars was still worried about being stopped by the police, but they returned to the highway without seeing a single police car. It was only then that everyone’s fears were quelled, and they began to speed up again.
As it was almost time for lunch, the people in the leading car stopped by the roadside, suggesting that they should travel a bit further. They mentioned that they have acquaintances in the county ahead.
Yan Fei agreed readily. Although the Miss hadn’t blamed him, he still didn’t like seeing her scared. Everyone in the car shared his fears of running into more trouble, and naturally, no one objected to their plan.
So they traveled for another two hours, and it was almost three in the afternoon when they finally stopped in a small county for a meal.
During the meal, several enthusiastic young people hurriedly took a few bottles of wine from their car, and, as a form of apology, offered it first to the driver. One bottle of wine was poured into three glasses, and apart from the young boy driving one of the cars abstaining from drinking, the other three gulped down more than a tael of liquor at a stretch.
This was the drinking etiquette in a few cities in the central region, the more one drank to apologize, the more sincere the apology.
The driver initially mentioned he had to drive, but when one of the young men learnt that the Sixth Miss Guo and her secretary could also drive (despite not holding a local license), he immediately offered his reassurances encouraging the driver to drink up!
Before even all the dishes were served, several bottles of liquor had already been downed.
The bodyguard driver was indeed an excellent drinker, but in this land, he had never outdrank many youngsters. If it were not for Yan Fei backing him up, he would have probably drunk himself under the table.
Although the young men had demonstrated some naive behavior on the road, their conduct was commendable. They encouraged the others to drink and eat without asking too many questions about the identity of Miss Guo and the rest, despite their own doubts.
Even when one of the young men was about to let slip something to probe into their identities, he was stopped by the leading young man.
Not asking about their identities didn’t mean they couldn’t ask about anything else. At least, they could ask about Yan Fei and his companions’ intentions for this trip. Yan Fei initially chose this trip just for leisure, finding beef customers was merely a side benefit, and this was not a secret.
The families of these young men were relatively well-off. They introduced themselves mentioning that two of them had families involved in business and two of them had families who were officials. They didn’t elaborate on their positions, presumably they weren’t that high.
Unfortunately, the two young men who were in business had nothing to do with the catering industry, otherwise Yan Fei could have casually inquired if they wanted to buy beef.
When the young men found out that it was Yan Fei’s first time in Gao City and they did not have a place to stay, the leading young man laughed and said, "There are many tourists and hotels here, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. If you don’t mind, I can help you book one run by a friend of mine, just give them a signal if you need anything. It would be more convenient."
Of course, Yan Fei and his companions had no objections. These few people didn’t seem like they had any evil intentions. Since they were kind enough to help introduce hotels to them, there was nothing more to discuss.
Their meeting was indeed like strangers crossing each other in a river. Despite the amount of alcohol consumed, they all kept their restraint and did not delve into deep or personal topics.
Naturally, they had to leave contacts. They were all straightforward people, there should not be any problem getting to know each other and becoming friends.
In fact, Yan Fei was not really good at socializing, and the young men were just starting out in life. Although they had thoughts of forming a close friendship, they were not the type who could put aside their pride. Otherwise, given Yan Fei’s Kung Fu skills displayed earlier, after a few extra exchanges, these young men might have readily accepted him as their master.
After their meal, the rest of their journey went smoothly. This place was closer and closer to Gao City, in the provincial capital. Everything would definitely be better. The young men led them to the hotel and also explained some things at the front desk. The room conditions were great, and the price was at a friendly rate. All in all, the guests felt quite satisfied.
Furthermore, they asked for a tourist map from the reception to give the companions, briefly introducing the nearby attractions and how to get there before leaving.
By the time they all returned to the hotel, even the driver was feeling a bit tired. And the Sixth Miss Guo and her assistant Nana were clearly exhausted after a long day, their voices barely audible when they spoke.
As soon as Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan had entered the room, the Miss sulked and ignored him.
Unfortunately for the Miss, Yan Fei had long seen through her little trick. He put on a thick face and moved closer to her, "What’s the matter? I stood up for your sake, and you’re mad at me?"
The Miss remained quiet.
"If you don’t speak up, I’ll kiss you! We’re in an unfamiliar place, you can’t do anything to me even if I bully you, hehe," Yan Fei mimicked a little hooligan, wearing a wicked smile, and moved even closer with a thick face.
"Humph!" The Miss snorted but couldn’t help breaking into a smile. "You shameless man, I am not mad. I’m just worried about you. If anything happens to you while we’re away from home, what am I going to do?"
"Alright, alright!" Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Miss smiling "You know nothing can harm me, I haven’t met anyone who could, yet. Hey, this hotel is so good, see, there’s even a place to shower. Are you going to shower? Do you want me to scrub your back..."
"Rascal!" The Miss turned red. "Get out! Go take a shower yourself, I’m going to rest!"
Yan Fei didn’t need to shower; he shamelessly moved even closer, "Then I’ll rest too..."
"Stop fooling around! What if they call us for dinner later?"
With one sentence, Yan Fei exposed his ambitious designs, "I’ve already locked the door..."
The Miss was in good health! She wasn’t too tired, but being in a strange city with him now, she always felt strange, fearing what he might do. That’s why she guarded herself at first.
But seeing him acting foolish just like at home, only hugging and kissing her, pretending to sleep so as not to disturb her, she couldn’t help but chuckle and was also slightly disappointed. Soon enough, she fell asleep in his arms.
It was already dark when Nana came to call them for dinner.
They asked around downstairs if there was a western steakhouse nearby, and followed people’s directions to locate one.
The hotel was located in a bustling area, and the western restaurant was not far away; a short walk would suffice.
When the steak came, Yan Fei first skillfully cut it up for the Miss. After trying a bite, he exclaimed in surprise, "You call this beef?"
