Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1300 - 636: Bowl Giving Convention

"Squeak... Crack..."

An earsplitting static noise came from the loudspeaker, followed by Heizi’s voice, "Testing, testing, everyone quiet down. President Yan is over there welcoming the guests for our celebration. Please stay calm, the third-anniversary celebration and the annual summary meeting of the Morning Glory Agro-Pastoral Company will begin soon!"

In fact, the guests for the celebration had arrived early, just waiting for the preparation on our side, then they could go on stage and take their seats.

Yan Fei’s original intention was just to hold a meeting for the people on site, but once word got out, suggestions came his way, "After all, your company is now well-known. It wouldn’t be appropriate to carry out the event behind closed doors. It would be best to invite a few leaders over."

Boss Yan was receptive to the advice, though he thought he wouldn’t be able to invite many people so close to New Year’s Day. He just planned to make a few trips to let the county and township authorities know about the event, to avoid being labeled Pianyiguai—that if they didn’t come, it would be on them, and if he didn’t inform them, it would be his fault if they mentioned it later!

To his surprise, when Secretary Jiao heard about his intentions, she decided on the spot to come and lend her support.

Not only that, but Secretary Jiao also had Yan Fei report to the city leaders he knew. While Yan Fei still thought it was a mere formality, the reception he received from the secretaries to the leaders was incredibly polite.

Hearing his intentions, although they couldn’t personally come, they gave clear explanations for their absence—some even arranged their representatives to attend. For instance, Mayor Xu had Secretary Shan come in his place.

As for those in the county, such as those from the banking sector whom Yan Fei had a good relationship with, the Forestry Bureau, the Labor Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Armed Forces Department—once he mentioned holding a celebration and invited them, knowing that Secretary Jiao had agreed to come and someone from the city would be there, they naturally all promised to attend.

Since the leaders were invited, it was only proper to invite some elite members of society and business partners as well.

Hence, people like Boss Niu from the county also came in droves. There were fewer from the city—most sent representatives—mainly because Boss Yan had chosen a bad time. Who wasn’t busy over New Year’s, especially the bigger the company, the busier!

Yet, a celebration meant to be understated suddenly became high profile.

Actually, Yan Fei and the staff had been recently overworked to the point of underestimating themselves. They hadn’t realized just how prominent the Morning Glory brand had become in the county and the city.

In the county, there was no need to mention it—there weren’t many big-name companies to begin with. Now Morning Glory could claim to be second in the county, and even the ’Iron rice bowl’ enterprises wouldn’t dare to say they could rank ahead of it—forget first place, they’d be embarrassed to even claim third. Compared to Boss Yan’s earning power, they were all trivial matters!

By a rough estimate, the oddly-named Morning Glory Agro-Pastoral Company, based on the last two months before New Year’s Day, had already achieved an annual output value of over a billion. Add to that the fact that owner Yan Fei wasn’t even twenty, an age brimming with limitless potential. It was only their people who didn’t think it was much, unaware that every move they made in the compound could affect so many others.

According to statistics from the past year, the per capita GDP of the entire province wasn’t even five thousand yuan. A company with an annual output value of over a billion in a poor county, in a city that wasn’t very developed—anyone could figure out what that meant just by thinking with their toes.

As for the cattle farm still being a bit of a ragtag operation, just a bunch of uneducated people messing around, and the new construction site not being completely finished, conditions looking a bit subpar... those were all trivial matters. As long as the bank account balance kept growing, and more and more people on the farm were making money, nothing else really mattered.

Fortunately, when it came to reception arrangements, it was always the town’s officials, assigned by Mayor Chen, who helped with the seating. Otherwise, based on Yan Fei and his team alone, they wouldn’t even know how to arrange the seating.

The seating was indeed difficult to arrange. The county leaders were easier to placate, but those from the city, who were nominally representatives of various leaders—seeing Secretary Jiao’s secretary, Xiao Zhao, sweat profusely in the cold winter told you just how hard the seating arrangement was.

Once all the guests were seated, the plan was originally for Heizi to host the event. Now, he couldn’t take to the stage—hesitant because he probably didn’t even understand the order of introductions.

It was Secretary Jiao who saved the day at the critical moment, consulting with Yan Fei and deciding to let Director Wang take over—Old Wang from the Forestry Bureau, Ma Yongming’s father-in-law.

Old Wang still owed Yan Fei a favor; the matter of the initial rescue of wild animals was too early to mention. But the achievements of the current reforestation project, Morning Glory had always been an advanced example in the county.

With last year’s major floods, environmental protection efforts were once again emphasized by the higher-ups. The city even specifically established a working group to conduct field inspections in each county and township. This inspection revealed that Tanghe County’s Forestry Bureau was already ahead of other areas—Guan Village had become a model village for reforestation and erosion control projects. Lucent alfalfa everywhere, inside and out of the village, was the best proof, with no fraud at all.

So, for Old Wang to host the event, he was more than willing. Even on a personal level, Ma Yongming’s relationship with Yan Fei was closer than that of typical relatives. Serving as an emcee really wasn’t degrading for him.
