The rural environntal initiative made a strong start, and for Yan Fei, it was not only about receiving praise but also so tangible rewards.
Such as export tax rebates and agricultural subsidies, all of which count as profits. The key point is that the provincial, city, and county governnts have allocated more support funds, although not much—that’s because Boss Yan earns too well, but if it were a small business, they’d be grinning from ear to ear.
Currently, however, this praise and actual reward don’t significantly change the situation at the cattle farm.
Because the cattle farm has always faced one issue: inadequate production capacity. Simply put, they aren’t producing enough beef to sell—this is a tragedy, both for themselves because there’s money to be made but not earning, and for fellow businesses because as peers, seeing others’ products priced so high yet still insufficient to sell while their own products are priced at low price are unsellable, how annoying must that be!
But whether things change or not... Yan Fei glanced at the report draft in hand, flipping through it reluctantly, still having to rember it silently in his mind.
Fortunately, he has a good mory; just reading it once is enough.
However, what’s written in parentheses—wave hands, excited, enthusiastic, passionate—what is all this stuff?
Xu Xiaoyan laughed beside him: "Hurry and morize it. Tomorrow you have to go on stage! What if you forget your words with so many journalists around? My classmates and I are all set to watch Boss Yan give a report and share his experience!"
"Why don’t you go?" Yan Fei said, looking at his wife smugly. "Don’t make trouble, I’m reading it! Go take a nap, quickly go."
"No way I’m napping in this cold weather, hurry up and morize. I’m waiting to admire Boss Yan’s elegance first!" Xu Xiaoyan teased.
She wasn’t worried at all whether Yan Fei could morize a few sheets of paper; she just found it amusing.
It’s the report draft for tomorrow’s provincial environntal rural summary eting, and looking at Yan Fei’s expression, it’s clear how unwilling he is to attend—it’s because they want him to step forward and act as a representative to give a report.
This is sothing the province specifically ntioned, and he couldn’t find anyone suitable to replace him.
Moreover, he rely pushed back slightly claiming he wasn’t good at speaking, and then Director Liu from the City Environntal Protection Bureau assured him: "Leave it to , you just need to bring the report and read it at the ti."
Then, within a day, this well-written report draft was ready.
The draft is genuinely considerate, specifying clearly which sections should be read louder, which ones more deeply, and where to point out the country with inspiring words.
How could Old Liu not be considerate? Randomly grabbing soone without any flaws as a model, he’s woken up laughing from dreams several tis.
Amid Xu Xiaoyan’s teasing, Yan Fei finally finished reading a few pages of the draft and then shouted loudly, threw down the draft, and charged towards his wife: "Let’s go, upstairs! I won’t properly sort you out, you still..."
...
A familiar series of ringtone interrupted, and Xu Xiaoyan, who just stood up and escaped a few steps, stopped happily: "Phone’s ringing, quickly check who’s calling. What if it’s urgent!"
"Not checking, I’ll catch you first!" Yan Fei stepped forward, reached out to hold the girl, then used the other hand to fumble out his phone.
Glanced at the incoming call display and answered: "Hello?"
"Xiao Fei! Rember the surprise I ntioned to you?" The voice on the phone imdiately made Yan Fei put down his wife. "Now the outco is out, you can go claim this surprise."
"Teacher Qi, what surprise?" Yan Fei gestured amidst Xu Xiaoyan’s puzzled look and then asked.
"You’ll know when you go to the Capital at 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow," Teacher Qi replied cheerfully. "Do you want to know more?"
You’re in a good mood today!
But since the Capital was ntioned, Yan Fei imdiately felt that Teacher Qi’s happiness must not be without reason; this is no small matter!
"I do, I do, Teacher Qi, please tell!" Yan Fei responded eagerly to Teacher Qi. "I’m impatient, if you don’t tell, I’ll drive back and ask you in person!"
"Haha, the earthworms your farm raised just got a patent!" Teacher Qi chuckled. "It’s been a while, everyone knows, except you. Now the awards are out, and you will attend a eting the day after tomorrow where you can receive a Youth Science Innovation Award and an Agricultural Ecological Progress Award. How’s that?"
"Ah?" Yan Fei was surprised. "It’s done! Why didn’t you tell earlier?"
"What’s the matter?" Teacher Qi asked with a chuckle deliberately. "Feeling regret because it was announced a few days late and because you earned less money? We agreed on this, intentionally kept it from you to make you lose so inco, so you’d pay more attention to things at ho..."
This old man, his mood today is truly nothing out of the ordinary. He’s even started joking!
Yan Fei even heard suppressed laughter from others on the other end of the phone: "It’s not just my achievent! Senior brother Liu also contributed a lot upfront, and you..."
"Don’t worry about that!" Teacher Qi said straightforwardly. "We agreed this honor belongs to you. Anyway, claiming the award, you must be present. It’s a big deal, not just so small city or provincial award ceremony; if you’re absent, it wouldn’t look good!"
In fact, there wasn’t any prior agreent; it was when they felt the results had matured, Teacher Qi and Senior brother Liu decided to prepare a patent application together.
