Chapter 759 - 757: Half Price
At that moment, Zheng Pengfei looked at Guan He with his unsophisticated demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh, "Is it really necessary? It’s just food. People who don’t know any better might think you’re a country bumpkin who’s never seen the world or tasted anything good."
Guan He waved his hand and said, "That’s where you’re wrong. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the feeling that the Qi family and Qi Ye give you. Being in their presence makes you feel settled, like you don’t want to wander around anymore."
Zheng Pengfei raised an eyebrow, noncommittal. He had only been here a few days, and although he had a good impression of the Qi family and Ye Xinyan, people like him generally didn’t like to deal with families with too much power.
Working for such families meant that once you knew too much, once you had too many ties, it became difficult to leave. Moreover, the higher the status of the family, the greater the danger they faced. Not just the dangers faced by the family themselves but also the risks to martial artists like him, who might be drawn into secret affairs and ultimately be silenced.
Guan He glanced at Zheng Pengfei and continued, "Right now, Prince Yu’s Mansion is buying land in remote and desolate outskirts, and soon, Qi Ye will lead people to raise cattle in batches. By then, don’t even mention cheese, beef will be plentiful as well."
Cheese was naturally a luxury food, but beef was also a rare commodity. Especially beef from cattle raised for slaughter, which was selected from animals that had not been raised for long, providing excellent meat quality, incomparable to the common beef from old or sick cattle slaughtered out of necessity.
As Guan He spoke, he even nudged Zheng Pengfei with his elbow, "Common folks say that in life, food and clothing are two essentials. In our case, we have just one more requirement than the common folks, and that’s freedom. Working for the Qi family, not only can you eat and dress at will, but most importantly, you experience freedom and an extraordinary sense of stability."
During Guan He’s relentless persuasion, Zheng Pengfei nodded, "I’ll give it a try first, who knows what the future holds."
Guan He patted Zheng Pengfei on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Good, let’s just try it for now. Ah, now I finally have someone to talk to."
He was very hopeful that Zheng Pengfei would stay, partly because it would ensure the security of Ye Xinyan’s projects and he and Zi Ning would be able to live a peaceful life. Additionally, having a like-minded individual close by made him feel more confident, as it proved that it wasn’t just him falling for this place, but that it truly had the charm to make people want to stay.
