"Those who can’t manage should follow Manager Zhang and learn well, there’s no precedence in learning. He’s a proper university graduate and has started his own business. If you need to learn from him, learn more. Right now, it’s wilderness over there, once it’s developed, and you’re not allowed to go, you’ll just end up crying by yourself." "Old Gao doesn’t want to go; Old Cui, Xiaojiang, do you want to go? Take a few people and ride horses to check out the ranch, it’s beautiful. Such a big place, we can’t just go there to work immediately. But Old Cui, your background has some issues, not sure if you can get the visa, give it a try first!" Cui Zhangfei has done time, Jiang Lianjian has a military background. If these two can take a few people, they could basically manage the ranch well. Although there aren’t many people at the ranch, once we start raising cattle and producing high-quality beef, someone might get some bad ideas. They’ll need to learn English before going, and by the time the ranch starts producing, they should be ready to handle things. "Let’s give it a shot." Cui Zhangfei was a bit eager. "I don’t have any big ambitions in this life. Just following Brother Fei around to see the world, and having some stories to brag about when I’m old will be enough." Official source is novèlfire.net "It would be better to win glory for the country, maybe get some foreign girls..." Someone whispered that below, and a couple of people chuckled. Old Cui waved his hand, "Get lost, we’re discussing serious matters!" "I have no problem with it either." Jiang Lianjian nodded. Coming from the army, he remained very composed. Actually, this guy is quite capable too—at Morning Glory, where you can learn anything if you’re ambitious enough, there’s plenty to learn and plenty of capable people. Yan Fei nodded: "How about Chen and Qiu? Are your health issues fine now? Can you go?" "We can!" Chen Tai Guang and Qiu Dazhuang were heroes who got injured rescuing people during flood control. Their integrity is solid. They retired due to their injuries, but now have returned to health thanks to medicinal wine—they are the most grateful to Yan Fei for this, as they had once been deemed permanently disabled, yet they recovered unexpectedly, something they’d never dreamed of. At hearing Yan Fei call their names, both stood up at attention without thinking. They were tough and manly. "Sit down, sit down," Yan Fei quickly waved his hand. "Let me say this first, once there, it’s not just patrolling. You’ll probably have to do everything. If anyone from the security team wants to go, sign up. We can’t lack manpower at home, so contact your comrades... hmm, even your cellmates. As long as they’re upright, we’ll take them all." Everyone laughed at the mention of cellmates, thinking back to the days when finding people to work with was a word-of-mouth process. Now it’s unnecessary; when we say we’re hiring, we have plenty of choices. "Those staying should cooperate well with Old Gao; the home base is still our stronghold, and we need to keep expanding in the future. Security has to be managed, and when there’s an issue in the township, we have to provide people. Maintain good relations. Old Gao, you take care of it; the home base is relying on you!" "That’s about it for now, everyone think about it. Once you’ve decided, give your names to Heizi. He’ll handle the visa processes. Once the numbers are confirmed, I have to pull some strings too; otherwise, with so many people going at once, who knows if they’ll stick to their promise." "Meeting adjourned, time to eat." Just as the meeting ended, a couple of people who had been waiting outside came in. "The leaders are here!" Yan Fei greeted Officer Xu and Township Chief Fu with a smile. "Have you eaten? We’re just here to chat since we heard you came back," Fu Zhen said with a grin. They truly had no pressing matters, so they accompanied Yan Fei to the cafeteria, took some food, and started chatting while eating. Yan Fei knew well that these two were worried that once he left, his people might not cooperate well with township affairs in the future. Just talking about simple security issues. Although nothing usually happens in the township, no one can guarantee there won’t be emergencies. When something does come up and there’s not enough manpower at the station, Old Gao’s skilled fighters will have to step up. Fu Zhen had more concerns, but before anything happened, there was nothing else to say. He could only establish a good relationship first and see what Yan Fei’s thoughts were. "Boss Yan, you’ve kept this information too well hidden, buying a ranch and only announcing it now," Township Chief Fu smiled wryly. "You caught us off guard. Once word reaches the county and city, I’m sure someone will come to our township for an inspection." Yan Fei laughed, "I’m just buying some land outside to raise cattle. You’ve seen the situation in our township. If we want more development, it would require too much farmland. Actually, going outside is the same; the workers I’m taking are still from here. If things stabilize there, I might even buy cattle from here. Besides, home is my main base; I could never abandon it. Things will remain as they were, so what are you worried about?" "As long as things stay the same." Fu Zhen and Officer Xu had nothing more to say. Actually, how could things remain the same? Everyone could see Boss Yan’s capabilities; even the news has reported it, with him knowing four foreign languages. You know, when comparing goods or people, sometimes it makes others seem inadequate. Some people are only tough at home, but not Boss Yan; he’s been quite low-key these past two years at home, but outside, word of his deeds is spreading. He’s indeed living large out there!
