No matter when, you can’t avoid localism. Even within the same nation, it’s unavoidable. People from first-tier cities just feel superior to others. When it’s expanded to the world stage, it’s not just about superiority, it involves issues of justice. Like the situation Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan are facing now, Wendy had given Yan Fei some small advice before. But who would have thought that when it comes to buying land, the other side would actually be resistant to them. But Yan Fei, while angry, felt a bit relieved. On the way home, Yan Fei advised his wife, "It’s not too late to find out now. If we hadn’t noticed it until much later, that would be the real problem." Xu Xiaoyan thought so too, "Yeah, when we get back, I’ll watch the house, you give her some trouble, make sure she steps down quickly." Just like Yan Fei said, if there’s someone in the government who harbors suspicion or even hostility towards them, and they’ve been unaware all this time, even thinking that person is friendly, that’s the real issue. In fact, the woman hid her intentions well, but unfortunately, she didn’t realize whom she was dealing with. She didn’t expect that as soon as she sent someone away, when she turned back to make a call, it would be overheard. It’s foreseeable that if she continues in her current position, in the future when Yan Fei wants to buy more ranches, as long as it involves public land, she’ll certainly continue to secretly sabotage Yan Fei. When they got home, Xu Xiaoyan went to feed the dogs, and Yan Fei went to chat with Heizi and his group. They all come from a background of cattle farming. Heizi took his first step into society at a cattle farm, and it’s been a few years now. The local ranch workers also come from a cowboy background, so both sides actually have a lot in common to talk about. Talking about cattle, that’s an endless topic. From local customs to the differences in cow breeds, and the different methods of raising them, although the language barrier made communication difficult, everyone still managed to chat well together. In this situation, Heizi and the others gradually started learning the language. Not just with the cowboys, but also with those workers building the irrigation systems. That night, Yan Fei ’went to bed’ early — at this moment, it’s still early; people in the city are just getting off work. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fire·net So what Yan Fei meant by going to bed was actually flying to Amora City, observing what the mayor named Zavier and Wendy the Bitch did after work — as Xu Xiaoyan would put it, understanding the other party’s preferences to respond accordingly. But in Yan Fei’s mind, he just wanted to catch their weak spots. And what weak spots? Ideally, he wanted to catch them accepting bribes or engaging in other illegal deals; for this, he even prepared a small camera and recording equipment... But clearly, luck wasn’t on his side. Those two just happened to have nothing going on today and went home to sleep after work! A slightly unlucky Yan Fei was left frustrated, sneaking into a Bitch’s workplace, acting as a spy and secretly viewing their office documents. In the end, he found nothing, as he was just getting familiar with the situation here. Many things he barely understood when looking through; even if there were issues, he wouldn’t detect them. It wasn’t something he could change even with his skills; it required gradual understanding. Back at the ranch, when he was idle, Little Blackbird flew around the ranch, catching more than twenty rabbits and seven or eight snakes, all thrown into the dinosaur ranch for the laborers to have a feast. When he returned to his room and occasionally glanced towards the dinosaur ranch, only then did he notice those snakes were enthusiastically taken into the laboratory by the laborer researchers, unsure of what they intended to study. The next day, Daniel came prepared with the contracts, and then Yan Fei invited Old Haiden. Under his supervision, they signed a construction contract with a small construction company from town. The small construction company’s boss has a rather long name, Sebastian. He’s a burly white guy in his forties, who’s quite cheerful. He primarily handled basic construction work and some small factory builds in the city. Clearly, business for his construction company wasn’t thriving around here. This place isn’t like Sancha River, filled with people everywhere. A small construction company like Ma Yongming’s couldn’t keep up with the demand there. Here, small construction companies barely have any work. Some workers are from the town, and most times, they do other part-time jobs. For example, Olivia, the small accountant from his construction company, works part-time and also manages accounts for two nearby small ranches. After Yan Fei signed the construction contract with Sebastian, he turned to find Olivia and had her manage some of the basic accounts for the ranches as well. Meanwhile, because of the construction company’s project, Daniel also had to send an accountant over. Under Yan Fei’s arrangement, Olivia and the accountant Sara sent by Daniel each handled their own tasks, allowing him to see how much tax credit Daniel’s accountant could ultimately save him. Olivia is older, in her forties, while Sara is a young girl. With the two women there, Xu Xiaoyan also found something to do. Together with Du Minghui and that Er Bao woman, she worked with the two accountants, learning while managing the ranch’s accounts. Over the next week, Yan Fei was virtually busy , idle at the ranch during the day, and bustling at night.
