As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 738: The Almost Forgotten “System”!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After returning to the yurt, Akexi, and the other herdsmen made some noise, and then led Zhou Chao and the others straight to the management office of the tourist area.

Along the way, no one spoke, but everyone’s faces were clouded, especially Akexi, who had his right hand gripping the railing of the ferry, making Zhou Chao feel like he wanted to crush it to vent his anger.

Soon, the ferry stopped downstairs at the management office. Akexi, familiar with the route, led Zhou Chao and the others straight upstairs.

Arriving at the door of an office labeled “Director’s Office,” Akexi pushed the door open and walked in, startling the person inside. “Who’s there?”

The man in the office looked to be in his thirties, dressed in typical Mongolian attire. When he saw who had entered, his furrowed brow relaxed.

“Akexi, what brings you here? You look furious. Has something happened?” The man’s surprised expression revealed he was Akexi’s uncle.

Hearing their titles, Zhou Chao was also somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Akexi to be the nephew of the director of the tourist area. But it made sense; the previous incident must have caused quite a stir. Most people would probably leave the scenic area under such circumstances.

“Muren, those people have come again, driving several off-road vehicles onto the grassland and causing a lot of damage!” Akexi said indignantly.

Muren’s brow furrowed upon hearing this. He was also uncertain about this matter. Catching a glimpse of Zhou Chao and the others standing at the door, his eyes flickered when he recognized one of them. “Akexi, who are these guests?”

“These are tourists visiting the scenic area. Among them, Mr. Zhou happened to be a witness to the incident!” Akexi quickly stood up and introduced Zhou Chao and the others.

Seeing several figures at the door, vaguely led by Zhou Chao, Muren smiled and said, “Please, have a seat, everyone!”

Zhou Chao and the others didn’t hesitate and went straight to the sofa.

“Director Muren, Akexi told me those people have repeatedly entered the grassland with their cars and caused damage. Why haven’t the patrols caught them?” Zhou Chao didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

The room fell silent, and Muren’s initially smiling face turned helpless.

With a long sigh, after glancing at Zhou Chao and the others sitting on the sofa, Muren’s gaze lingered on Si Cong for a moment before finally settling on his nephew. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “It’s not that we don’t want the patrols to catch those people; it’s just that we can’t!”

Then Muren explained what he knew. It turned out that those people were sons of high-ranking officials from the Yili Dairy Industry. After the first incident, their families intervened and asked them not to intervene. If there were any losses, they were to directly report to the company for reimbursement!

It was because of pressure from various sides that the tourist area could only remain silent and pretend not to see anything. Otherwise, those young men wouldn’t be so arrogant. It seemed like this incident had opened a window for them, a window of unfettered behavior!

After hearing this, Akexi’s angry expression became heavy. He also understood why the grassland had been damaged so many times, and why the tourist area hadn’t responded to the patrols, and he also understood his nephew’s predicament.

After understanding the background of those young men, the light in Akexi’s eyes diminished. The once robust man seemed a bit haggard at the moment.

“Mr. Zhou I’m really sorry for not letting you enjoy your visit today. How about this? Muren, give these three some passes to the scenic area, so they can have a good time tomorrow. Consider it compensation from me!” Akexi tried to force a smile.

Muren quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, our scenic area is beautiful. Apart from the cable car, there’s also a livestock cart. You can enjoy the scenery of our scenic area.”

Although he had recognized Si Cong, the “former national husband,” from the beginning and had thoughts of involving him in this matter, he reconsidered and abandoned the idea. Even if they did get involved, the most they would get is an apology and a promise not to damage the grassland anymore. But the consequences afterward were not something Muren and Akexi could bear.

It was precisely because they understood this truth that they didn’t continue discussing this matter.

Si Cong glanced at Zhou Chao, hinting for him to pay attention. After all, Zhou Chao was the one involved in this matter. As for whether to pursue it further, it depended on Zhou Chao’s decision.

Zhou Chao also understood Akexi and Muren’s concerns. He smiled and said, “Sure, no problem at all. Tomorrow, we can experience the scenery of Huanghuagou!”

Muren felt much relieved upon hearing this, his previously furrowed brows relaxing. As for Akexi, his eyes were filled with various apologies as he handed three passes to Zhou Chao and the others. Lin Wu, being sensible, directly accepted them all.

“Since everything has been clarified, we won’t disturb Director Muren any longer. We’ll take our leave!” With that, Zhou Chao began to get up.

“I’ll walk you out. I was just about to return to my yurt!” Akexi also stood up.

After bidding farewell to Muren, the group headed towards the door. When Akexi reached the doorway, he stopped in his tracks, turned back to his nephew, and said, “Muren, arrange for someone to take charge of the project at Huitengxile Grassland as soon as possible. I’m not feeling well lately and plan to return to my ranch for some rest!”
