Chapter 84

In the evening, Qin Yi returned to his room, took a deep breath, and tightly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

"Old Three, are you interested in a travel agency?"

"What travel agency?" Ye Fang was puzzled by his sudden question.

"My neighbor's small farm has been transformed into a tourist farm. I want to attract domestic tourists. The tourism projects here are quite good and should attract many people. I thought about having the older and younger brothers start a travel agency together, organizing tours, and making it their own business."

"How about it, are you willing to invest a little money?" Qin Yi explained the details to Ye Fang, hoping he would get involved. Having some connections would make things easier.

Hearing this, Ye Fang understood that Qin Yi was trying to help the two brothers. Qin Yi was finding the opportunities, and he had the connections. While he couldn't help much, at least he could prevent them from being troubled. This way, the older and younger brothers would have a business.

He could only help so much. The future success of the business would depend on their own abilities.

"I have no problem with this. Have you talked to them yet?"

"Not yet, but it's easy to discuss. I'll call them now, and once it's settled, you can talk in detail. I won't be involved in the travel agency."

After hanging up, Qin Yi wasn't surprised that Ye Fang had agreed. He didn't expect the travel agency to make a lot of money, but it would be useful for solving problems in the future without making the brothers feel too indebted.

Qin Yi understood his thoughts.

As for the older and younger brothers, Qin Yi wasn't worried. Each of them could contribute 100,000 yuan to set up the travel agency. They could rent a few offices. With the tourism projects already in place, if they lacked the courage to do this, Qin Yi wouldn't meddle in their affairs anymore.

Sure enough, when he called the older and younger brothers and explained the situation, they were very interested. Their only concern was the lack of money, but hearing that each needed to contribute 100,000 yuan, they didn't hesitate.

After working for two years, they didn't have 100,000 yuan saved, but asking their families for some money would be enough. This opportunity would be lost if they missed it. Working with a billionaire classmate, how could they lose 100,000 yuan?

Ha!

Since the travel agency was settled, Qin Yi didn't get involved further. He left the details to the three of them and went to take a shower and sleep.

The next morning, at around 5:30, while it was still gray, Qin Yi got up, washed up, and went out. Angel was just opening the door, and upon seeing him, she smiled widely and held out her hand for him to hold as they went downstairs.

Susa had to get up at 6, and Liu Qimeng even later. As for Lazy, it would be strange if he didn't sleep in. By the closet, Big Eagle and Little Eagle were still lying on the floor. They grumbled a bit when they saw Qin Yi, as a greeting.

Qin Yi didn't pay much attention and took Angel to the lawn, petting the early-rising Maggie and Teddy. The dogs were already energetic. After greeting them, he started practicing his martial arts with the little girl and the small animals.

Of course, mainly Qin Yi was practicing. The dogs watched from under the pergola, while Angel and Teddy chased and played. Maggie, being the best, stood up, moved forward and backward on her hind legs, and swung her front paws, hitting and grabbing randomly. Whenever Susa and Liu Qimeng saw this, they couldn't stop laughing.

But Qin Yi was very satisfied. Although it was chaotic, it looked powerful and impressive!

After practicing, he went back to the house to get a few apples. He gave two to Maggie, which she quickly chewed up. Teddy got one, and the little guy bit into it with a crisp sound.

Maggie was a good mother. After finishing her own, she didn't even look at Teddy's, let alone try to take it. Every time Qin Yi noticed this, he couldn't help but praise her.

Dogs don't eat apples, so the one left in Qin Yi's hand was for Little Black's breakfast. Every morning, one apple or carrot, Qin Yi never forgot.

After grooming the horse, he took Angel for a ride, running until Little Black was sweating, then let Little Black graze and took the group of animals back home for breakfast.

Back in the living room, Susa was putting a large carp into the oven, which was for the dogs and Maggie. Seeing Qin Yi return, she started cooking noodles.

Over the past few days, Susa had figured out Qin Yi's routine. Every morning, after Qin Yi took the horse out, he would shower and return to the living room. Within a few minutes, the noodles would be ready, making Qin Yi even happier.

Of course, this landlord-style lifestyle sometimes made Qin Yi criticize himself harshly, reminding himself not to be corrupted by Western decadence. After criticizing, he always ate an extra bowl of rice to consume as many American resources as possible!

Well, don't underestimate the small good deeds!

After breakfast, it was almost 8 o'clock. Ryan and Hobbs came over. They had planned to visit Walker's farm to see the cows. Ryan was more familiar with Walker, so it was better for him to lead the way.

It was still early, so Qin Yi invited Ryan and Hobbs in for a cup of coffee. Angel watched cartoons with Teddy, and the adults chatted.

In the past few days, Hobbs had taken over the work at the small farm. Qin Yi hadn't paid much attention, but from Susa and Liu Qimeng's conversations, he knew that the bearded old cowboy was doing a great job. Not only did he organize the farm's work well, but he also hired three cowboys and planned a trip to the Rocky Mountains, setting up the tourism route.

All of this pleased Qin Yi and the others, and even Ryan was relieved. Hobbs was introduced by him, and his good work meant he hadn't let Qin Yi down.

During the chat, Hobbs also mentioned some suggestions, such as tourist buses for visitors, building a few cabins along the route from the farm to the Rocky Mountains, and so on. Although these were minor details, they were indeed for the benefit of the tourist farm.

After resting for a while, Ryan checked the time. It was almost 8:30. He had called Walker yesterday and arranged to meet at 9 in the morning. It took about 30 minutes to drive to Walker's farm, so leaving now was perfect.

Since that was the case, Qin Yi didn't delay and called everyone to get in the car.

Ryan had also come in a pickup truck, an old one that the ranch had provided for years. Because Ryan took good care of it, it still looked good.

Ryan led the way with Hobbs, and Qin Yi followed with the three women and Lazy.

Lazy was unlucky to meet Angel.

When Qin Yi lived alone, Lazy slept in all day without anyone bothering him. Now that Susa and the others had moved in, Angel had become his nightmare.

Previously, Angel, being young, often slept in and was scolded by Susa, so she had the idea that sleeping in was bad.

Now living on the ranch, she had developed the habit of getting up early. Seeing Lazy sleep in, she would wake him up every morning to play, not letting him sleep in.

For a while, this was a nightmare for Lazy. He would squawk all day and complain to Qin Yi, and whenever he saw Angel, he would run to the vegetable garden. For several nights, he didn't dare sleep in his nest and instead slept on the lawn under the pergola.

In the end, Qin Yi persuaded Angel, saying that Lazy was different from humans and would get sick if he didn't sleep in. This calmed Angel down, and Lazy had a few peaceful days.

However, after a while, Angel thought Lazy was getting too fat. Every day, she would take Lazy for a walk, and Teddy couldn't escape either. But Teddy enjoyed the process, as he was more active than Lazy. To him, walking was like playing, and he liked it.

As a result, in Angel's words, Teddy was a role model, while Lazy was a typical bad example. Recently, she often used him to educate Big Eagle and Little Eagle!

Every time they saw Angel, like a little adult, educating the animals, Qin Yi and the others couldn't help but laugh. But they approved of Angel's approach. Although they didn't worry about food and drink, if the animals became lazy, it would harm them.

Now, Lazy's life wasn't as good as before, with no more lazy mornings until noon. But he could still sleep in a bit, usually until 8 or 9 in the morning.

After the nightmare, he was quite content. Every morning, when Angel woke him up, he would play with her. Over time, he became much more energetic.
