Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Jianjun drove to the club's location.

In the tea room, Yue Feng, Jin Long, and the other three were drinking tea. Li Guangkun took over from Grandpa Liu's job of processing the game and preparing ingredients for the stew that night. He was slaughtering the wild rabbit and skinning and cleaning its internal organs.

Ye Jianjun was wearing a woolen overcoat. As he passed by the gate, two stray dogs wagged their tails at him, but he didn't even lift his eyelids and pushed the door open to go inside.

"Brother Jun is here!! Come inside and warm up!" Yue Feng immediately stood up from his chair to greet him.

"I knew you were around here at the club, I've been wandering around in circles!"

Ye Jianjun glanced at Yue Feng with a smile, then took off his wool coat and hung it on the wall.

"You went to my house? I only have a few friends in Beijing. If I don't come to the club, I don't have anywhere else to go!" Yue Feng said with a smile.

Ye Jianjun truthfully replied, "I went to your house but found nothing, so I came straight to the club! You definitely won't go to Zhang Chaochao's place, and you probably won't go to Old Master Wang's place either, as he's been busy lately!"

"By the way, Brother Jun, I have something to tell you!" Yue Feng nodded and immediately steered the conversation to a new topic.

"What's up?"

"I took it upon myself to release the two eagles that were locked in the eagle house! Don't be mad at me!" Yue Feng said truthfully.

"Release the eagle?"

Ye Jianjun was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and his eyebrows twitched slightly involuntarily, but he managed to cover it up well.

"They were released just before you came over! Those two eagles didn't go through any of the proper training or conditioning processes. They'll be ruined if they're left to roam freely in cages for too long!"

"There's no point in keeping this thing around. Its daily struggles and screams only affect the condition of the other falcons, so I made the decision to release it!"

Ye Jianjun waved his hand dismissively and said, "Just let them go! I didn't think that much about it. I figured it wouldn't hurt to keep a couple more eagles for food, so I'll just keep them for fun!"

So, keeping eagles in larger eagle enclosures isn't the right thing to do? Nobody told me about this!

As Ye Jianjun said this, his gaze swept over the people in the room. They all knew it was not a good time to interrupt, so no one spoke up.

Yue Feng pursed his lips: "We can definitely raise them, but it'll be a slow and tedious process. In the long run, they'll become free-range chickens!"
Eagles are large and naturally more fierce and unruly than ordinary eagles. They haven't undergone systematic training processes like raising them to be more accustomed to each other, and they're kept in cages all day like they're in prison.

In such a short time, the tips of those thick feathers have been worn down, even with fine sand on the ground and a protective wire mesh covering them!

Uncle Liu and Uncle Li know you like it, and you've already said you'd keep it, so how could they possibly refuse you?
It's only because they put in the effort; if it were anyone else, their wings and tail tips would have rotted away long ago!

"If you let it go, you let it go. With a master like you here, if we really need to catch it again, we can always find a way! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had the energy to take care of the club!"

Ye Jianjun picked up the teacup on the table and calmly took a sip.

"Xiaojun told me about looking for that thing. You must be busy with that too, right?"

Seeing that Ye Jianjun was not continuing the discussion about releasing the eagles, Yue Feng quickly changed the subject.

Ye Jianjun nodded: "These things used to be extremely rare, let alone now! I've tried every possible method and contacted all the relevant parties. If we still can't find them, then it's fate. Fate can't be defied, so we can only let Xiaojun take on more responsibility!"

"I also asked Grandpa Wu for help. Don't worry too much, maybe there's always a way out!"

"Do you have any plans for tonight? If you're free, how about we stew some rabbit at the club and have a drink together?" Yue Feng invited.

Ye Jianjun agreed without hesitation: "Okay, let's have a drink! Anyway, the sky won't fall, and even if it does, there are tall people to hold it up!"

Seeing that Yue Feng had casually finished communicating with Ye Jianjun about releasing the two eagles, Li Fulin felt relieved.

"You guys keep chatting, I'm going to slaughter a couple more chickens!"

After saying this, Li Fulin got up and left the tea room, leaving only Yue Feng, Jin Long, Ye Jianjun, Xiao Ying, and Liu in the room.

Grandpa Liu was a sensible man. He touched the large blue dragon tail feathers resting on his arm and said, "I'll go help out in the back kitchen too. I'll call you when dinner is ready!"

After saying this, the old man also left the house.

Once all the employees had left, Ye Jianjun's nonchalant expression vanished instantly. He relaxed, leaned forward with a slightly worried look, and rubbed his face with both hands.

"Don't get worked up, getting worked up won't solve anything! I can't help you with anything else for now, you must have tried everything you can think of! You must have been spending a lot of money lately, right?" Yue Feng asked softly.

"Huh? Why are you asking that?"

When Ye Jianjun saw Yue Feng mention money, he glanced at Yue Feng with some surprise.

Yue Feng waved his hand and said seriously, "Don't misunderstand, I don't lack money. This is because I made some extra money by exchanging breeding stock for eagles with the Americans. I've already received the money, 500,000!"
If you're short on cash, I can give you some to use first. I can only lend you half; I have other uses for the rest!

When Ye Jianjun heard Yue Feng say he would lend him money, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Despite Ye Jianjun's large family business, his assets consist of various fixed properties, and it takes time to withdraw cash.

Yue Feng has now passed the stage where he needs to fight on the front lines to earn favors and prove his worth. If he can offer some money to show his sincerity, he can consider it as earning Ye Jianjun's favor for free.

Ye Jianjun shook his head: "I've been spending a lot of money lately, but I can manage for now. If I really can't make ends meet, I'll definitely ask you for help! This mess has ruined all my plans, sigh!!"

"What about Zhang Chaochao? He left my house a while ago and hasn't shown up since!" Yue Feng continued to ask.

"He probably does something similar to me, going around trying to find connections and smuggling in rare items that can keep him afloat. He's probably not in Beijing anymore!"

"Alright!" Yue Feng nodded and fell silent.

Seeing that the room was a bit awkward, Jinlong turned around and took a plate of melon seeds from the table next to him and brought it to the group.

"Have some sunflower seeds, don't get a sore throat! Look at you all, with those long faces, people would think something's wrong!"

Ye Jianjun knew that most of these words were directed at him. He curled his lip and glanced at Jinlong: "Stop talking nonsense, kid. If you hadn't won over the Ma family's daughter early on, your Jin family might not be in a better position than ours now!"

Seeing that the conversation had gotten going and that his goal of livening up the atmosphere had been achieved, Jinlong changed the subject. "By the way, Brother Jun, I heard from a friend that there's a high-tech method in America that can extend life. They say it's some kind of injection that can make people live longer! Have you asked your friends to inquire about it?" Jinlong asked, changing the subject.

Ye Jianjun nodded: "You're all family here, and the injections have already been given! Otherwise, how would we have had time to find ginseng!"

However, this stuff isn't a cure-all; the effect diminishes with each injection, and eventually it stops working altogether!

Hearing this, Yue Feng nodded, muttering to himself.

The power behind these large families is truly astounding; they even use imported American injections.

The three of them spent the rest of the time chatting idly.

As dusk approached, dinner was ready in the kitchen: stewed rabbit with radish, stewed chicken with mushrooms, lamb chops and legs, plus some home-style appetizers like fried peanuts. For a typical banquet, this was definitely not a low standard.

In terms of status, Yue Feng and Ye Jianjun belong to the club's senior management. On the surface, they seem to be very equal, but the difference between the boss and the employees still exists, and the employees are relatively reserved.

However, with Yue Feng and Jin Long actively enlivening the atmosphere and guiding the conversation, the evening's drinks never fell into a slump.

The group of men at the table warmed up after a few drinks, chatting about all sorts of things, mostly about eagle training. Yue Feng naturally joined in, and also shared about the Americans' trip to Northeast China a few days ago.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill and had their fill of fun, it was already 9:30 p.m. Ye Jianjun was the first to get up, say goodbye, and go back. Yue Feng and Jin Long also pulled Li Guangkun back to their residence.

This afternoon, when the topic of releasing the eagle came up, Li Guangkun and the other two acted a bit strangely. Yue Feng asked Ye Jianjun directly how he felt about them, and they all said it was good, but Yue Feng still felt something was off.

After Jinlong drove away, Yue Feng didn't rush back to his room to wash up and rest. Instead, he pulled Li Guangkun, who was clearly smeared with alcohol, to the living room in the north room and brewed tea again.

"Brother Li, have some tea to sober up!" Yue Feng called out, pouring tea for Li Guangkun first.

"Okay, I'll do it. I'm not drunk!" Li Guangkun's face was flushed, and his gaze towards Yue Feng was noticeably more sincere.

"Brother Li, it's just the two of us in the room now. Can I hear you tell me the truth?" Yue Feng said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Ask me anything you want to know. I've never lied to you!" Li Guangkun's face twitched slightly, and his tone hardened.

"While I was away from Beijing, what was Jianjun's true attitude towards you guys at the club? Did you have any conflicts, or did or said anything inappropriate?" Yue Feng asked very seriously.

Logically speaking, if Yue Feng were a smart person, he shouldn't have asked such a question, but he still did. Deep down, his personality still treats everyone as friends.

Seeing Yue Feng's serious question, Li Guangkun hesitated for a moment, then took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment. Seeing Yue Feng staring intently at him, he forced himself to answer, "Since you've asked, I'll just say what I have to say!"

"Yes, please go ahead!"

"If we're talking about Young Master Ye alone, he's never argued with any of us or said anything offensive! But Mingkai and Xiaohui are clearly different from Young Master Ye in terms of manners!"

These guys, although they also work at the club, have a bit of a spoiled brat attitude. Because of their tendency to talk nonsense and their sharp tongues, Mingkai and Li Fulin had a conflict once and almost came to blows, but they were eventually persuaded to stop by Grandpa Liu!

Old Liu mentioned this to us privately. He said that everyone decided to do their current jobs because of you, and we shouldn't cause you any trouble outside of matters of principle!
It's just work. If you're working for someone else, you're still subject to their management. The work at the club is already easy and free enough!

Hearing this, Yue Feng felt a little conflicted, but he quickly composed himself.

What Grandpa Liu said wasn't wrong. Yue Feng was aware of Ye Jianjun's character. Even though Yue Feng released the eagle today, Ye Jianjun didn't say a harsh word or show the slightest impatience.

However, Yue Feng didn't think he really didn't mind.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have frowned upon hearing the news. Yue Feng had seen all those facial expressions.

Yue Feng nodded after listening: "Okay, as long as everyone can adjust their mindset! Mingkai and Xiaohui are on Brother Jun's side, so let's try not to have any conflicts and maintain a good facade of unity!"

The club hasn't been established for long, so there's definitely a need to work on interpersonal relationships. Mingkai and Xiaohui are both spoiled brats, so please be more understanding!
If there are any other issues or fundamental problems that are truly difficult to resolve, feel free to call me, and I'll coordinate!

"Xiaofeng, is something wrong? I feel like your relationship with Young Master Ye is a bit complicated," Li Guangkun asked curiously.

"There's no problem with our cooperation! It's just that the Ye family and the Jin family might be having some troubles! The old man upstairs might be critically ill, and he's searching everywhere for something to save his life!" Yue Feng pointed to the ceiling and said casually.

"Got it, I'll try to avoid bad luck for a while!"

"Yes! But Jianjun isn't the type to hold grudges. Everyone should just go about their business!"

"it is good!"

……

After a brief inquiry, Yue Feng finally understood the true situation at the club.

This minor friction was nothing to worry about. Li Guangkun went back to his room to rest, and Yue Feng also took off his clothes, got on the kang (a heated brick bed), and quickly fell asleep.

For the next two days, Yue Feng stayed in Beijing. On the third day, he took two falcons and the receipts for 50 yuan from the raptor transaction and took the train back to his hometown in Northeast China.

As Yue Feng made more and more trips to Beijing, he gradually lost interest in the long journey between the two places. However, Jin Long and Feng Huanping knew that Yue Feng was going back, so they still prepared a lot of local specialties and other items in advance.

After Yue Feng returned home from a two-day train journey and settled the two falcons he had acquired, he spent a few days properly resting at home.

After resting, Yue Feng led his hunting team into the mountains for another large hunt, bringing back a small group of wild boars to replenish the meat reserves at the mountain farm.

Everything seemed perfectly normal until Yue Feng once again rode his motorcycle up the mountain to deliver provisions to his master.

After Zhao Dashan helped unload the things, he frowned and said to Yue Feng, "Xiao Feng, when you get home, give your Uncle Wu a call!"

"What's wrong, Master?"

"If you count the days, your Uncle Wu should have gone back to the mountain long ago. We discussed it before he left last time!"

More than a week has passed now, and we haven't seen him or heard from him. Something's not right! !" (End of Chapter)
