Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1302 - 636: The Bowl-Issue Conference_3

After the group photo was taken, the crowd quieted down: the main event was yet to come, everyone was just waiting for the end!

Once the photo session was over and everyone had taken their seats, Yan Fei picked up another list and began to read, "What we just awarded was a collective prize, and now we’re moving on to personal rewards. The first one, Ma Chao!"

A middle-aged woman and an elderly lady in the crowd immediately became excited. The people around them were incessant with their congratulations, "Auntie, your Ma Chao is something else now, I heard that what he’s getting is a golden ’work’..."

"Yeah! A golden ’work’, that must be quite a sum! He’s made it rich..."

"That’s nothing, the stuff they give out at the worksite includes cash too, they just don’t tell us. Look how happy the folks from the worksite are, they must be getting a good amount of money..."

"Of course, they must be getting a lot. They’re always handing out this and that even on normal days, and now with the New Year, Boss Yan is so generous, it’s gotta be a significant amount, right?"

The two women smiled without saying a word, unwilling to join the conversation: money should not be flaunted! How could they tell these people how much they got?

The less the two said, the more people speculated. Someone turned their attention to someone else, "Old Shao, your daughter snagged a golden catch, come on, tell us how much your son-in-law made!"

The man referred to as Old Shao was laughing so hard he couldn’t tell north from south, "Not that much, just... hey, why are you pinching me..."

A burst of laughter came from the crowd as the woman beside the middle-aged man glared at him, "Our son-in-law told us about it because he trusts us, who told you to go blabbering about it?"

Someone shouted out, "Sister-in-law, keeping secrets, huh! That must mean he made a lot. Now that you have a good son-in-law, don’t forget your fellow villagers!"

"That’s right, if not the son-in-law’s earnings, at least tell us how much your daughter got?"

"Yeah, yeah!"

The woman blushed with people shouting around her, and upon seeing a group of people surrounded by a crowd not far away, she quickly found an excuse, "Our son-in-law, he’s just working under someone else’s son-in-law, take a look at Old Xu’s family over there?"

Old Xu’s whole family was there, and the first girl of Xu family and the second girl were feeling a bit embarrassed by the crowd around them. But the people were enthusiastic and some playfully asked, "Old Xu, with such a great son-in-law, how much did he give you for the New Year?"

Old Xu beamed, "Give us what? We’ve got our own hands and feet, and it’s not yet time for our children to support us..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence, "Keep pretending! If we had a son-in-law like that, why bother doing anything? Just lie at home, eat, sleep, sleep, eat and that’s it..."

"Given what you just said, even Boss Yan wouldn’t dare to take your daughter, would he?" someone interjected.

"What’s wrong with me? Our daughter isn’t bad either, it’s just that Old Xu acted too quickly. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise it wouldn’t have been your turn either, if we had known that the cattle farm was this profitable, we should have sent our kid in earlier..."

"Don’t even bring up your kid, he turned into a bookworm just by attending school..."

This conversation veered off-topic, but the crowd around Old Xu not only didn’t disperse, it grew larger. Until Old Xu quite energetically waved his hand, "Stop the noise, we’re just getting started, who knows how many golden ’works’ will be handed out today..."

Everyone suddenly fell silent, only to hear Yan Fei on stage saying, "Ma Chao is usually so low-key at the worksite, but everyone knows how much work he has done. I won’t say much more, you all know that when the department officials visited last time, as they were leaving, they made a point of buying a few cans of wine to take back to drink in the Capital..."

Actually, everyone at the worksite knew what was up with the wine. But Ma Chao’s greatest contribution couldn’t be spoken aloud, for he was in charge of the worksite’s most confidential secret formula feed, a topic not suitable for a public conference.

While the assembly was quite restrained, the people below could hardly wait. Amid the crowd of onlookers, someone took advantage of the commotion to shout, "Boss Yan, no need to say more, bring out your golden ’works’, let us take a look!"

With that shout, the crowd once again erupted, "Yeah, Boss Yan, hand out the golden ’works’!"

"Let’s take a look, we want to see what the golden ’works’ look like..."

"Yeah! Bring out the golden ’works’ quickly!"

"Hurry up and hand out the ’works’, we’ve been waiting all this time just to see it!"

"Hand them out, hand them out..."

The voices, shouting and shouting, eventually miraculously synchronized, echoing throughout the entire valley with two words: "Hand out... Hand out..."

This perfectly fine three-year corporate anniversary celebration and year-end summary conference, because of this, from that day on, whenever mentioned in the village, it bizarrely became known as the "Hand out Works Conference"...

The leaders seated on stage were indeed rarely witness to such a uniform chant, and at first they were a bit taken aback, but they all ended up smiling knowingly—any previous unanimous shout had been organized in advance, never like this spontaneous outpour of men, women, the elderly, and children, all shouting at the top of their lungs, so excited that anyone unaware would think Boss Yan was about to give each one of them a golden ’work’!

Yan Fei stood on stage with a smile, watching everyone shout. When it seemed about right, he simply raised his hand and without even speaking, the crowd below fell silent—whether it was Boss Yan’s charisma or the lure of the golden ’work’ that was more powerful, everyone just cooperated. It made the leaders on stage envious. If only they had such influence, even as the smallest of officials, their lives would be worth it!
