CHAPTER 1878: CHAPTER 887: AIRCRAFT CARRIER MISSING INVESTIGATION TEAM_2

Spring has arrived!

The zoo must be thrilled. In just a few days, the animals can gain several dozen catties more meat than pigs in a pig farm. They even asked if he had any interest in taking care of some foxes, wolves, or lions for a few days. Yan Fei quickly expressed his lack of interest—though the zoo was not doing well, Yan Fei didn’t plan to indulge this whim.

This zoo, which isn’t very big, supports over a hundred people. If you exclude the birds and monkeys in the zoo, there are more people than animals. Who could possibly save them?

Oh right, a few cages in the zoo even house chickens. They’re not any rare breeds, just regular domesticated Dorkings...

These matters have nothing to do with him, so he hung up the phone, and that was the end of it. He turned around to give his uncle some instructions, quickly arranging for a small animal park next to the zoo to house the black bears—surely they wouldn’t mind a smaller living space temporarily.

After returning, he took a shower and got dressed, just in time for a meal.

After eating, he grabbed a horse and rode off to inspect some work.

In early March, the grass grows, and the yellow finches fly.

In Wan City, after the New Year, the weather noticeably warms up, no need to wrap oneself up anymore. It’s a good season, with willows just sprouting and wheat seedlings turning green, the perfect time for spring outings.

Of course, it’s also a good season for people who work.

Bridge building, road paving, factory construction, and riverbank renovation, everything that needs to start does so.

Yan Fei just keeps a cheerful face while riding the horse, greeting people he meets. It doesn’t matter if he can’t remember names; the workers are in groups, and if he can call out someone’s name, he does. Sometimes he even hears others call out a name as he’s walking by and mimics them, making the person being called feel thrilled.

When he sees the team leaders at the construction site, he instructs, "Add an extra dish for everyone at lunch, make sure they eat well and work well!"

He must speak loudly so that nearby people can hear, showing his benevolence as a boss. He used to feel embarrassed doing this, but now, his skin thickened, he doesn’t care.

Some who consider themselves familiar with him joke around: "Boss Yan, getting tired of beef, how about switching to pork?"

Yan Fei, with a grin, agrees: "Sure, I’ll make a point to buy a couple of fat pigs to give everyone a taste change."

The price of pork compared to beef? This request is too easy to fulfill!

Of course, he wouldn’t actually go buy pigs; it’s unnecessary. For those working who want pork, they can buy it themselves, but they don’t get beef very often. At home, non-working folks seldom eat it, and even for those who work, not everyone eats beef daily.

Generally, it’s some bone-trimmed meat, just scraps. These parts aren’t worth much and aren’t good enough for beef jerky, so they consume them internally. It’s still a luxury, and average folks don’t eat it every day.

It’s good for bosses to make an appearance occasionally, walk around as it lifts the crew’s spirits.

Coming around every day wasn’t effective, but an occasional visit made a real impact. Relatives would be thrilled just being acknowledged, even though the work remained the same, the mood was different.

He strolled all the way to the riverbank, seeing the horse wanting to lower its head to munch on dry grass, he decided to ride it a bit further away from the construction site, got off, and stood on a patch of green grass.

The previously uninterested horse was immediately excited, snorting with happiness, eating grass while prancing around. Yan Fei got back on, and on the way back, the horse was exceptionally spirited, carrying him with a couple of affectionate neighs.

He got home to find his wife already there. Noticing Xu Xiaoyan clearly seemed to have something on her mind, he followed her into their little courtyard.

"The situation has escalated. Today’s news said that America plans to form an international investigation team to the site where their aircraft carrier disappeared, intending to find out the reasons for its disappearance..." As soon as they entered, Xu Xiaoyan said anxiously.

Yan Fei looked at her, pulled her into his arms as they sat on the lounge chair, holding her as he said, "What can they possibly find out?"

This girl was worried sick. After watching the morning news, she spent some time at home before running over. Too afraid to even call, she nearly went out searching for Yan Fei directly.

Yan Fei, grinning, continued to reassure her, while his hands got a bit mischievous when she wasn’t paying attention: "Think about it, this isn’t the first or second time they’ve lost something. Now they’re probably just putting on a show. They’ve lost so many times, their international reputation has already suffered. If they don’t do something about it, it’s just too embarrassing!"

"Yeah, it’s like the street thugs from before; after getting ambushed a few times and not even finding who did it, they have to make some noise, or they can’t keep going on."

"But that’s not what the news said. I just checked online. Some predict they might take this opportunity to stir up trouble in the South Sea again." Xu Xiaoyan explained. "I saw some similar implications in the news, I wonder if our nation might also organize an investigation team to check things out..."

"Most likely they will, they have to track where they’re entering our territory anyway!" Yan Fei speculated after a thought. "The ones losing things are America and Japan. Probably, other nations are just joining in for the fun. Oh, and that nation down south lost some things too. I’ve gotten so used to it, I’ve forgotten some."
