They were still holding onto their ’noble smiles’ when they heard Yan Fei continue, "A breeding bull of 2000 catty...is not that rare..."
This time they did not sneer, but looked at him with pity, clearly deciding it was beneath them to argue with this bumpkin. Most likely they were thinking: you don’t even have a large scale here, did you estimate these 2000 catty yourself? The rustics are just so inexperienced; they probably saw the large size of the bull and thought it was 2000 catty, how pitiful. They really are fearless due to ignorance...
The middle-aged man didn’t say anything either, he just turned to the foreigner and said, "Mr. Chai Qi! Since we’ve already come, why don’t we see it through before leaving?"
Seeing that the foreigner, who had a serious expression, nodded, the middle-aged man then said to Yan Fei, "We shall take a look then!"
Alright, look then!
Yan Fei was annoyed and didn’t feel like talking to him anymore. He nodded towards Mayor Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, relax. They’ll know once they’ve seen it!"
Even though it was likely the fertilization had been called off, he needed to save face at the end. This face was not for himself, but for the many local officials led by Mayor Chen. Regardless, they had been good enough to him. He couldn’t drop the ball at the crucial moment; he might lose people’s respect but he couldn’t stand by as his territory was undermined. Regardless, it was necessary to show them everything before anything else.
He hadn’t been very confident initially, but when he heard the guy say the research institute’s breeding bull weighed a bit over a ton, he knew that this face-saving, it was sure to be redeemed for Mayor Chen and others today.
He stopped addressing Mayor Chen formally as he had been quite embarrassed due to him today. It would be inappropriate if he continued to act like a stranger.
Seeing him speak like that, Mayor Chen, including the group of people behind him, finally got a bit of their spirits elated — Boss Yan was like this now, if they kept acting like a bunch of sick ducks, that would be extremely disrespectful!
Although Yan Fei had agreed with Ma Yongming to pave the cattle farm with cement roads and plant some flowers and grass elsewhere after this, it was just an unfulfilled plan. The only progress so far was that they both had the plan in their minds, but it wasn’t something others could see.
Now, in the blossoming season of spring, there were farmlands and wastelands in the original location of the cattle farm and a few patches of grass inevitably sprung up all over the place. They couldn’t manage it usually, neither did anyone think about managing it. Now that outsiders were looking, it naturally felt quite uncomfortable.
Walking on such a place, which barely looked like a road or a yard, no one had the interest or mood to say anything more. The inner gate was always left open, and Yan Fei didn’t think of arranging for anyone to receive them. They just marched straight in, leading the group into the inner courtyard.
