Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 780 - 410 People Who Can’t Sleep_1

The distance from Shen City to Hong Kong is actually not far. By the time they reached the border, the city lights of Hong Kong were already noticeably brighter. Upon entering, Yan Fei could only sigh, "Does no one sleep here at night?"

No wonder Yan Fei was surprised. In his home at Sancha River, the current time would have been considered midnight. But here, the city was still ablaze with neon lights, bustling with ceaseless traffic and hordes of people coming and going.

On the road, they did not delay. Originally, they had planned to view the night scene while having dinner, but since Xu Xiaoyan is habituated to sleeping at this time, she started feeling sleepy after the meal. The Sixth Miss Guo, though bold and expansive, decided it was inappropriate to have guests enjoy the night view upon their arrival, so she took them directly to the hotel.

Previously, Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan knew that the two siblings who came to receive them were from a wealthy family, but they didn’t really grasp the extent of the wealth until this moment.

When the car arrived at the hotel entrance and the valet drove the car away, Yan Fei couldn’t help but mumble, "Living in such a grand hotel must cost a lot of money, right?"

The Sixth Miss Guo, who was leading Xu Xiaoyan into the hotel, turned back and said, "It won’t cost you anything to stay here. This hotel is run by us, specifically for the convenience of our guests."

Yan Fei was at a loss for words. The idea of having such a grand hotel, just for the convenience of entertaining guests, was this necessary? Indeed, he couldn’t comprehend the thoughts of these wealthy people.

As he was pondering this, just when they stepped into the elevator, the Sixth Miss Guo suggested to him, "Actually, Boss Yan, you should start planning as well. As your business grows, more and more people will visit, and having a hotel of your own will be more convenient."

"That will only happen when I can sell beef to America..." said Yan Fei offhand.

He made the remark casually, as in his view, selling beef abroad was still a distant goal! His words implied that the concept of needing a building to entertain guests, as suggested by the Sixth Miss Guo, was something remote and unattainable.

Unexpectedly, someone continued the conversation, "It is actually quite easy. As long as you prepare early, given China’s booming economy and its imminent entry into the World Trade Organization, foreign trade will only increase. The unique quality of your beef will eventually be discovered, and if you can maintain your expansion, selling it all over the globe shouldn’t be a problem."

Surprisingly, it was the Fifth Young Master Guo who spoke up.

Not only were Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan dumbfounded, but even the Sixth Miss Guo was taken aback. She scrutinized her elder brother from head to toe until he felt a chill down his spine and reluctantly said, "What are you looking at me for? Why can’t I understand economic trends, if you can make money every day with your restaurant?"

Guo Jingya suddenly burst into giggles, "I get it now. You’re broke again, aren’t you?"

The Fifth Young Master Guo remained silent, whether from being hit spot-on or from deciding not to argue with his little sister. He just huffed and stopped talking.

During this fleeting moment of silence, the elevator stopped, and they stepped onto plush carpet and entered their hotel rooms. After showing Xu Xiaoyan around and explaining everything, the Sixth Miss Guo took her leave.

Only then did Xu Xiaoyan, standing in the opulent room, exclaim with amazement, "Their family is really rich!"

"It’s great to be high up!" Yan Fei said, looking down at the Hong Kong night scene through the floor-to-ceiling windows. "When will I be able to build a tower like this on my cattle farm? From there, I could see the whole area and nothing could be hidden from me. That would be convenient."

"It’s so high! It’s kind of scary being this high up!" Xu Xiaoyan also came over to look. She was startled, and it took her a while to respond to what Yan Fei just said. "Do you think everyone has your superhuman vision to see clearly what people are doing from this height? But the view is really good! I’m not sleepy anymore..."

"Then look some more. Sleep when you get sleepy!" Yan Fei said as he moved a sofa from the tea table to behind them. "Sit here and enjoy the view."

"No, I’ve been on the go all day, and I need to take a bath first," she said as she headed towards the bathroom. "I checked it out earlier, and there is a bathtub. It’s so convenient..."

"Do you need help with your back?" Yan Fei immediately asked ’enthusiastically’.

"In your dreams!" Xu Xiaoyan gave him a glance before she closed the bathroom door. From inside, the sound of locks clicking into place echoed out.

Yan Fei was unfazed; he was immune to such small rejections.

He sprawled out on the comfortable sofa and let his thoughts wander: as the old saying goes, with enough patience, even the most challenging of tasks can be achieved. His wife couldn’t escape sooner or later, there will be an opportunity for him to act on his desires.

While he was lost in thought, he had no idea that back on the cattle farm, someone was suffering from insomnia. And it wasn’t just one person. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

"Ding dong dong!"

Pang Fa, who was having trouble sleeping, was immediately on alert. "Who is it?"

"Who else could it be besides me, Brother Fa? Open the door, I need to talk to you." The voice of Heizi came from outside.

Pang Fa turned on the light, reached for his slippers from under the bed, and opened the door. Heizi came rushing in, wrapped in a quilt, "Brother Fa, don’t you think something is off about today’s events? I feel like something’s fishy."

After closing the door leisurely, Pang Fa picked up a teacup from the table, took a couple of sips of cold water, and then said, "I couldn’t sleep either! No sooner had Xiao Fei left than this happened. It seems someone’s aiming at our cattle farm, eh?"

Heizi wore a thoughtful look, saying, "Do you think those two guys we encountered today were in cahoots? My wife mentions that the mute guy seems a bit strange, and I feel like he can understand us..."

Pang Fa understood what he heard, the mute that Heizi referred to was not his uncle, the mute, but another one.

In the morning, a disheveled beggar came to the cattle farm. At the time, Xiang Rui asked Ma Chao’s wife to run into the kitchen and get a few buns to dismiss him.

Yet, the beggar refused to leave even after being offered the buns; he gestured insistently.

It wasn’t until Pang Fa and Heizi approached that they somehow figured out that the beggar wanted to work at the cattle farm.

This was largely due to Heizi’s wife, whose brother is mute. Having lived with him for many years, she managed to roughly guess what the man wanted.

If the beggar wanted to do something else, then the people at the cattle farm could have decided. But if he wanted to work at the cattle farm, then it would require Yan Fei’s approval. Especially Heizi, who has been long with Yan Fei and was quite clear about the secrets in the farm. He knew that hiring someone untrustworthy would be absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover, this beggar didn’t seem to be like labor reform convict Gao Rui, whose background was clear as day. But this guy stuttered when he spoke, implying that he could do work for food. Heizi definitely wouldn’t make a decision on his own about him.

Not just this guy of dubious origin, but many people from the town and nearby villages keep inquiring daily about job opportunities at the cattle farm. Those who are known well, even when using connections to approach Yan Fei, are still likely to be rejected!

Seeing Xiang Rui and some other women taking a sympathetic approach, Heizi smartly took out two yuan. "Take this money to manage for a few days. You can come back when our boss returns. Whether we can hire you or not is not up to us."

This was an effective solution, and the women all fell silent - after all, he was just a beggar. Even if he had no money, he wouldn’t starve to death in town. As long as he wandered around town around mealtimes, he’d manage to find something to eat and drink.

No one really cared about this. If the beggar truly was homeless due to some disaster and was the only surviving family member, it was up to Yan Fei to decide whether to employ him. Sancha River is a small town; everyone thought that the beggar couldn’t be from far away. He’s probably from some village in the town, and they’d eventually find out his story.

But in the evening, during dinner, a comment from Fang Xiaoqing made everyone uneasy.

While eating, Fang Xiaoqing suddenly muttered, "I met someone today who asked me about the cattle farm and offered me fifty yuan. I didn’t take it."

Fang Xiaoqing went to a classmate’s house in town to do her summer homework in the afternoon. The cattle farm has no shortage of help at present; she couldn’t do any other jobs, so she became a free-rider - or so it seemed. After staying on the cattle farm for a while, everyone was used to not idling around. Helping out in the kitchen or cleaning outside was still within her capabilities.

Just when she was about to leave for town in the afternoon, she encountered a man near the town who stopped her and asked, "Young girl, do you work at the cattle farm around here?"

Fang Xiaoqing was quite alert. Being a young girl, she was naturally cautious when talking to strangers. She retorted, "Why are you asking this?"

The stranger responded, "I want to know if your farm is hiring anyone?"

This was a common question now, so without thinking, Fang Xiaoqing said, "The boss is not currently home. No one can tell whether the farm is hiring or not. You’ll have to wait until the boss is back."

After hearing this, the stranger continued, "We actually used to raise cattle too, but last year, the cattle contracted a disease and we couldn’t save them. Now there’s a sick person in my family, we are at our wit’s end, that’s why I came to ask. Oh right, do you know how the cattle farm takes care of so many cattle? Aren’t they afraid the cattle might contract some disease?"

Fang Xiaoqing sneered, "We have veterinarians in our ranch. If you have nothing else, I need to get going. My friend is waiting for me."

"No, no! It’s alright!" the guy said with a smile. "Well, could you spare me a little more of your time? I want to know if the cattle farm has any secrets, like any special food they feed to the cattle? Could you tell me in advance so I don’t ask any inappropriate questions when I start working there? I’ll give you fifty yuan for the pointers, is that okay?"
