At the southern gate of the cattle farm, Qi Younian, along with Ye Xinyan, Fan Zhengyuan, and Cui Chengxi, a party of four, awaited the inspection by leaders at all levels.
The three followed Qi Younian forward a few steps. Old Master Qi, along with Fan Zhengyuan and Cui Chengxi, performed a clasped-hands bow to express their respect and welcome to the visiting leaders and the host.
Whereas Ye Xinyan could only awkwardly mix in, performing a half-hearted kneeled salute, mumbling words of reception and waiting without much clarity.
Jinrong maintained the same bystander demeanor, and no emotion could be discerned on Jiang Yifan's face. Hongzhi, Shi Yu, and a few others were speechless at Ye Xinyan's actions. Such an unwilling attitude was too apparent; not the slightest attempt was made to hide it.
