Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1299 - 635: Restructuring the Jerky Factory_3

Yan Fei burst into laughter, "We are all just trying to earn a living, how can I stoop to their level?"

Indeed it was the case, the newly recruited people included those who had been fairly capable in the factory, as well as those like Guo Baofu who were desperately trying to make ends meet. Old Xing was a really nice guy. As long as they didn’t have serious flaws, he always did his best to let Yan Fei hire them.

Honestly, having worked for a long time in an "Iron rice bowl" company, especially with lesser work in the later stages and frequent stoppages, people there were likely to develop minor issues. There were those like Old Xing who previously had grievances and were slack, which was quite normal.

It was all due to the environment, just as Yan Fei said, they were all ordinary people trying to support their families. Since they had been hired, they deserved an opportunity.

Heizi seized the moment to start flattering again, "Brother Fei is really kind!"

Yan Fei, now immune to such stale flattery, smiled and said to Pang Fa, "Brother Fa, the New Year is just around the corner. If you don’t tighten up the workshop’s production order, you might lose the ’golden work bowl’ this year!"

Pang Fa, who hadn’t joined them for lunch, was a bit confused, "What golden work bowl?"

Yan Fei looked at Heizi, "You were backbiting me just now, weren’t you? As a punishment, explain to Brother Fa our decision from lunchtime. Old Gao, what’s the matter?"

Heizi, startled, stammered and began explaining to Pang Fa—he thought his subtle actions were covert, not expecting Yan Fei to have seen him through the machine reflections. With him later nervously trying to overcompensate, it would indeed be weird if Yan Fei hadn’t realized he was speaking ill of him!

Old Gao was frantically saying, "You better go check on those three tigers, they are fighting!"

Surprised, Yan Fei exclaimed, "What’s going on?"

Old Gao replied, "I don’t know exactly, but they are really going at it."

Hurriedly, Yan Fei rushed to the zoo section and saw, at the center, three tigers tangled up, with two black bears keeping their distance, watching the scuffle.

The tigers were so engrossed in their fight that they didn’t notice Yan Fei approaching.

At first glance, Tiger Er and Tiger San showed no mercy to Tiger Da, their paws moving so fast they were blurred, and they roared fiercely, seeming genuinely upset.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed like Tiger Er and Tiger San were also hitting each other, with Tiger Da stuck in the middle — Tiger Da, though still having a size advantage, seemed unable to let loose, not as fiercely dishing out blows as the other two.

Yan Fei looked around and shouted, "Who has been watching all this time? Do you know why they started fighting?"

Upon hearing Yan Fei’s voice, the three tigers immediately ceased their brawl and glanced over; seeing Yan Fei, they stopped attacking though they still growled softly.

Seeing the tigers stop fighting, Yan Fei didn’t wait for the person from the other side to run over. He directly went inside to inspect the tigers for any injuries. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The person who came running was Yan Fei’s uncle, among others who were working there. When the tigers approached, those working nearby saw it happening. After Yan Fei led some people over, they became the closest and likely saw the event clearly.

As Yan Fei examined the tigers for injuries, Lin Xiuqing began recounting the incident to Old Gao and the others: "It began with the largest one hovering around the smaller one, then it went over to the other small one, and soon all three got together. Then one small one wanted to start hitting the other..."

By now, Yan Fei had already checked all three tigers, finding only superficial scratches—nothing serious. Unfortunately, Tiger Da had a few more scratches on its face.

But Tiger Da didn’t care; as Yan Fei examined them for injuries, they all lay on the ground, with Tiger Da eventually resting atop Tiger Er.

Annoyed, Yan Fei gave it a stern kick, but it had little effect on him.

Now, Yan Fei understood why they were fighting—it was essentially Tiger Da wanting to add both female tigers to his harem. But unfortunately, the ’harem’ caught fire... that’s not quite right.

When they were at the cattle farm, Tiger Da and Tiger San had been closer. Probably Tiger San, being in a more advantageous position, was first to be impregnated, and she likely already carried little tiger cubs.

Now that the three tigers were together, Tiger Da started eyeing Tiger Er, leading to the fight breaking out.

It could be that the original Tiger San didn’t appreciate Tiger Da approaching Tiger Er, or maybe Tiger Er was uncomfortable with Tiger San already carrying cubs yet monopolizing Tiger Da...

In any case, domestic squabbles are tough to settle, and Yan Fei could only try to calm them down. It was unfortunate to have them restrained now; had they been left to mingle freely as before, perhaps they would have started fighting earlier, or perhaps they would have peacefully become a family of three...

Tigers are naturally solitary, whether male or female. It’s said that a mountain cannot harbor two tigers, unless one is male and the other female. Even then, a male and female won’t coexist peacefully for long; once the female has cubs, the male becomes redundant and will not stay together.

At this point, the crowd outside the animal park was laughing, understanding why the tigers had been fighting. Yan Fei stood in the middle, seeing that Tiger San was not engaging anymore and looking at Tiger Da’s shameless behavior; he felt awkward being the center of attention.

Meanwhile, the group that had been punished and was holding beef to feed the tigers dodged a bullet. After Yan Fei came out and glanced at them, he said, "Forget it, don’t feed the tigers today. From now on, I don’t care about past transgressions, but if rules are violated again, the penalties will keep doubling until you leave on your own."

Waving for them to set down the beef, Yan Fei informed his uncle to keep a close watch and to call him immediately if the tigers started to fight again.
