Chapter 946: Chapter 514: Suggestion: Catch the Rabbit

On the day before New Year’s Day, when Lin Baoguo called Yan Fei, he was comfortably accompanying his wife in the Provincial City.

Lin Baoguo complained repeatedly, "I say Boss Yan, what’s your phone number with all the eights? Aren’t you afraid of straining your eyes? I have to count how many times I press when I dial, and if I’m not careful, I press too many times. Aren’t you afraid of bothering others?"

Yan Fei chuckled, "When I didn’t have a phone, you complained it was inconvenient to contact me. Now that I have one, you still have complaints. What should I do? Just tell me what it is already! I need to go shopping with my wife..."

It turned out that Lin Baoguo had no particular issue, it was the folks from the township who had a matter. They had come to Lin Baoguo only after realizing they couldn’t find Boss Yan.

The news had reached the township in the past two days that the county would be allocating a portion of poverty alleviation funds to the area—everyone knew what that was about; the actual poverty relief funds distributed were minimal. Now, the fund mentioned by the county was supposedly for poverty relief, but in fact, no one knew where it had been cobbled together from.

After having done things like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs too often, everyone understood it was wrong. The township now wanted to consult with Yan Fei, or ask him to inquire in the Provincial City, whether there were any good projects that could generate income.

After Yan Fei asked about the amount of money, he answered without a second thought, "Grow melons! Didn’t I used to grow early-season watermelons? Now that you have some money, support anyone in the villages who is willing to build greenhouses. Start building the greenhouses right away, so when the watermelons are harvested early next year, you can make a bit of money. Even if I could think of other projects, there has to be someone in our place who can actually do it, right?"

Lin Baoguo looked up at the group of people around him. Seeing Mayor Chen nod, he then replied, "Alright then, that’s settled. You guys keep having fun!"

With that, he abruptly hung up the phone.

The main reason Lin Baoguo used the speakerphone to make this call was that he was in the township surrounded by people. Everyone nearby had heard the conversation, including the voice of other girls, which sounded quite lively.

In fact, such matters wouldn’t be so urgent ordinarily and could have waited for Yan Fei to return. However, a meeting about rural work had just been held in the Capital, with the goal of greatly developing the rural economy to increase peasants’ incomes and maintain rural stability.

Many people thought that meetings held by the higher-ups had nothing to do with a small township, but such thinking was misguided. Anyone who thought that way clearly lacked awareness.

Just think about it, if the directives from above had just come down, and if the lower levels immediately responded with a "good report card," the effect would be self-evident. Just like now, right after the big meeting ended, Tanghe County immediately allocated some funds, and Sancha River Township instantly started building greenhouses—this was following the directives from above, keeping pace with the higher authorities, mobilizing the masses, collective brainstorming, doing solid work for the common people...

Anyway, I won’t say more about this; everyone can get a feel for it by watching the news.

Right after hanging up the phone on his end, Ji Yunyun called out, "Yan Fei, come and eat quickly. If you don’t, we’ll have finished everything."

It was the holidays, and Xu Xiaoyan’s new classmates and old friends had gathered together again, taking advantage of the festival to have a get-together, and there really were quite a few people.

When everyone was sitting together, eating and chatting, Zhou Peipei couldn’t help wondering, "I say Boss Yan, with all these dishes, you guys shouldn’t just eat greens and radishes!"

"Sigh," Yan Fei heaved a long sigh. "These past few days I’ve been to too many banquets, and my stomach is full of grease. Now, the sight of greasy food just turns me off."

One is involuntarily caught up in the ways of the jianghu!

At these banquets, it’s still mainly about big fish and meat, and moreover, the food at restaurants is very greasy. Don’t look at Yan Fei usually eating meat by the potful; the meat he eats is mainly dinosaur meat, and he only picks what he wants to eat, never anything so greasy.

Although they knew Yan Fei was telling the truth, apart from Little Dark-skinned Girl who giggled, most of the girls present couldn’t help but give him looks of disdain: flaunting in front of a bunch of students who eat chaff and swallow vegetables every day that you’re tired of eating meat was such a cruel boast! It was like sawing on people’s hearts with a little saw.

Unaware, Xu Xiaoyan, who was busy picking at her tomato sweetened with sugar, echoed Yan Fei’s sentiments, "This is much better. I figured Yan Xiaofei would be coming soon, and he would definitely bring a lot of stuff, so I cleared the fridge of meat. Now I’ve eaten so much these past two days that I’ve lost my appetite..."

A girl from Xu Xiaoyan’s dormitory banged her chopsticks on the table, "Enough from both of you, one boast has already broken our little hearts once, and now you’re boasting twice more, how do you expect us to keep eating?"

"Who asked you to come if you were just going to refuse, all of you putting on airs. Sister Xiaoxing’s invitation was heartfelt, and it’s your own shyness that’s to blame!" Little Dark-skinned Girl defended Xu Xiaoyan.

"Hey, Xiao Yangyang, you’ve only recently had a few good meals, and now you’ve already betrayed us, huh?"

"Exactly, exactly..."

A group of girls began to playfully criticize the chuckling Little Dark-skinned Girl, who defiantly responded, "If you don’t come, whose fault is that? Hmph! Haven’t you noticed that even the two dogs don’t bother coming to the table to beg anymore?"

"Are you saying we’re worse than dogs? Xiao Yangyang, it looks like you’re itching for a lesson..."

"Hahaha..."

This stirred up a hornet’s nest, as these girls were prone to frolic, and now they frolicked even more.

"Stop, stop, stop!" After a bout of commotion, Zhou Peipei clapped her hands on the table to voice her opinion. "Why didn’t anyone come and call me?"
