Chapter 769: Chapter 399: Misunderstanding and Seeking Compensation_1

"Well, it’s not a big issue, just a little hiccup when we were trying to sell beef in the city. Our workers got arrested, and a lot of our beef was seized. I still got a couple of guys in the county hospital..." Yan Fei was waiting for Secretary Wu to ask about this. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the stuff he had prepared earlier.

"Secretary Wu, take a look. This is our written account of the situation. We’re not sure who to report this to, but we were wondering if you could mention it to the leaders above. We’re not asking for much really, just hoping for justice and to recover our losses."

The level of modesty in his statement was humorous. If not for the fact that he had prepared several copies, each person could have a copy of his grievance. Otherwise, one might really think he had nowhere to seek justice! He was so well prepared yet he sounded so aggrieved, who would believe it?

But who could deny the favorable impression he has created so far! No one would dare expose him...

Some behaviors are all about how you present them, such as filing complaints. If it’s not done properly, you might seem like a troublemaker. But in Yan Fei’s case, at best, he may seem a bit self-important. Given the current circumstances, it’s really a minor flaw.

Secretary Wu smiled as he accepted Yan Fei’s papers, read for a while, then his face turned icy: "Outrageous, absolutely outrageous. These people are the cancer of society. Boss Yan, rest assured, when we return, I will definitely hand in this letter. We can’t let these evildoers continue to remain above the law, and we can’t allow lawful enterprises like ours to experience gratuitous losses!"

Three ’definitely’s showed Secretary Wu’s staunch attitude. As for his icy demeanor, it was a bit exaggerated. But it was meant to emphasize the gravity of the situation. If he didn’t react openly, they might not understand his attitude. Still, for a Deputy Mayor’s secretary, this is a minor matter. If those group of people had serious backers, they wouldn’t just mess around, creating problems without getting proper results. In Secretary Wu’s eyes, they were merely annoying ants that could be squashed with a finger.

After finishing, Secretary Wu turned to the others and remarked, "It’s not easy what Boss Yan has accomplished at such a young age! Selling our Wan City beef to Hong Kong is truly a groundbreaking achievement! I won’t say anything further. Just keep it up and wait for our notice. When the leaders are visiting us for inspection, I will inform everyone in a timely manner. By then, put forward our positive energy, and showcase our advanced production experience and techniques..."

Because the leaders had not yet arrived, there were some things Secretary Wu could not say. After all, if he took and carried out all the tasks, what would be left for the leaders to say when they arrive? Therefore, there was a potential misunderstanding. Without an in-depth conversation, neither party was aware of this possible misunderstanding.

There are also many large companies in Wan City, with nationally famous products. But those were just products of individual companies, whereas the beef from Yan Fei’s ranch is the true ’brand’ of Wan City, a ’brand’ that has been born and raised for thousands of years.

Even though Cow Flower Company’s business volume isn’t extensive, the current prediction for annual business revenue from Hong Kong is around 20 million. But if you consider the long-term implications, the significance is entirely different. Wan City’s beef is now being sold outside the country. Even among the main beef-producing regions in the country, there is no news of such an achievement!

Even a roadside vegetable vendor understands, for your products to be considered excellent, they must be recognised by others. Merely self-praising behind closed doors doesn’t count. Considering the large amount of cattle that Wan City produces, the potential of this industry is evident.

People in the city, including those from the county and the countryside, did not fully understand the situation. They thought Yan Fei’s ranch just sold Wan City’s beef to Hong Kong. It’s all beef after all, all from Wan City. Perhaps his is a little higher quality, with better yield rates.

From this perspective, there are quite a few other cattle breeders in Wan City. Even though their scale might not be as large as Yan Fei’s ranch, the combined total is also significant. Including individual farming households, Wan City has hundreds of thousands of cattle. It’s certainly not lacking.

Now Yan Fei has taken the first step as the ’crab eater’, making a name for Wan City’s beef. So, will all future Wan City beef...

People who consider this point feel that its significance far outweighs celebrating the return to the motherland.

One has to admit, there was quite a big misunderstanding here.

No matter how skilled Yan Fei’s Seventy-two changes are, he couldn’t read minds. He couldn’t possibly know what other people were thinking. Anyway, he was feeling good now. Even if these people renege on their promised assistance, he won’t be worried. He still had plenty of resources and time to continue with his original plan!

After dinner, Secretary Wu and his entourage, despite the late hour, decided to leave. They wanted to make it back in time to report to their superiors the next morning. Seeing them leave, the county officials who had accompanied them felt embarrassed to stay— and relieved the village officials of the trouble. If they had decided to stay, it would have been hard to arrange accommodations!

After a long day, the ranch workers also needed rest as they had plenty of work lined up for the next day. Especially Lin Haihu, since he wasn’t involved in hosting the visitors, went to bed early. Putting up a brave face must have been tough for him. He looked exhausted already. He seemed excited about the arrival of the big shots but didn’t linger around when it was time to sleep. He was practically nodding off on his seat.

That night, Yan Fei followed his usual routine. After his wife went to bed, he went to Dinosaur World for a spin, performed some tasks and gathered some food. As he flew over the village, everything was peaceful— the discovery of the thieves was purely coincidental. The local police station hadn’t been alerted for a long time. The thieves were small-time crooks, who came specifically to steal chickens and dogs. In fairness, they were quite pitiable. If Yan Fei hadn’t discovered them, they might have been beaten to death.

While he didn’t come across thieves, he spotted two wild rabbits. Yan Fei was too lazy to bother with them. There were plenty of wild chickens and rabbits being bred by No.1 and No.2 coolies in Dinosaur Valley. They were available whenever he wanted.

After a whole day of turmoil, everyone in the cattle farm slept soundly.

Now they had to slaughter the cattle every two days, a dozen or so at a time. During the spare two days, they had to hurry to buy more cattle. The work was quite tightly arranged. However, now that there were a few more hands, tasks could be done in rotation, otherwise a single team would be overwhelmed.

Everything was as usual.

But everyone noticed that, since this day, the reputation of the cattle farm had spread like wind throughout the region...

And very soon, some unexpected incidents happened.

The next morning, the phone in the cattle farm, which usually wouldn’t ring once in a whole day, rang several times throughout the morning.

Firstly, it was the local police station. Director Lin informed Yan Fei that the city bureau had called about the case. The initial interrogation records had been prepared and the case would soon be taken over by them – and it had been implied that the case would be handled swiftly and severely, to give everyone a clear resolution. However, at such a perfect time, it would be wiser to keep this low profile.

Then, there was a call from the county saying that city leaders might be able to visit in a day or two, asking the cattle farm to be prepared. Also, reporters from the daily newspaper were planning to come. Secretary Zhao reminded Yan Fei that this meant that the cattle farm had been confirmed as exemplary by the upper levels, otherwise the newspaper wouldn’t be acting so quickly.

Lastly, almost around noon, there was a third call. Old Pan called saying that he had received a mysteriously abrupt anonymous call, claiming to be from Old Gui’s brother, who Yan Fei had arrested. He wished to discuss compensation with Boss Yan. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Yan Fei understood the situation and declined right away. There was no need for them to compensate in advance. Yan believed in the fairness of the law and had faith in the city leaders that they would bring them justice.

The more panicked they became, the less he would rush.

Since the farm had people who had undergone reformation through labor, Yan Fei didn’t need to consult Xu Xiaoyan about these things. He understood why they would call to discuss compensation.

By agreeing to compensation ahead of time, they could lighten their sentence when they go to court. Those who had served time knew that the law was strict but gave people some room for leniency, often referred to as blending leniency with strictness. In other words, there were some loopholes that weren’t exactly loopholes that could be used to get a lighter sentence. For example, if you showed a good attitude towards pleading guilty, or informed on others etc.

Paying compensation to the victims ahead of time could also serve as a demonstration of their remorse, which would be considered during the sentencing phase. If their performance was good enough, it would undoubtedly be beneficial.

Although these applied mostly to minor offenses, for major crimes like murder or arson, one’s remorse would be useless when their sentence was already as good as set, and they better prepare to face their punishment!

Even street thugs knew these ’facts’. Once caught, they admit their guilt; in court, they show remorse; and in prison, they actively reform. Especially in prison, there are often self-repentance meetings, which are actually ideological education meetings.

If they behaved positively, they would get the chance to speak at these meetings, where they would have to show their hatred for their past actions and shed ’tears of remorse’ when talking about their crimes – the effects would be even better if these meetings were covered by the press.

Those who refused to reform got no good outcomes; this was universally accepted. Those who still acted arrogantly and tried to show how tough they were, never admitting their mistakes, like those who were sentenced publicly a few years ago and simply smiled while listening to their sentences. Even people like Old Gao knew that those who acted this way were fools and reality would soon teach them a bitter lesson about itself.

Clearly, Old Gui’s brother was somewhat panicked now. He probably couldn’t find anyone to bribe in Sancha River, this remote and impoverished area, and didn’t even manage to get the phone number for the cattle farm, so he had to take matters into his own hands and personally ask Old Pan to relay his message about wanting to talk about compensation...

If Yan Fei were willing to talk now, then the other party would certainly offer a higher compensation than what would be decided in court.

But, was Yan Fei short of some money?

Even if he was short, he wouldn’t talk to them. Instead, he would anger them, worry them...
