<Back to the Ranch as a Breeder / Invited to Open a Ranch on the Frontier> by Yue Ji Yanyu [Complete]

Synopsis: One day, Shi Wen received an email saying his late grandfather had left behind a ranch. He met the requirements to inherit it and was invited to claim it.

Shi Wen: A scam?

He soon discovered that the ranch was real. He carried the Qilin Bloodline and really did meet the inheritance requirements.

All he had to do was say yes, and the ranch deep in the grasslands would become his home.

A few days later, Shi Wen moved onto his sprawling ranch. He started with a flock of sheep, and before long, he had dogs, cats, cattle, horses, camels, chickens, ducks, pigs, geese, and more.

With the Qilin Bloodline, Shi Wen could do no wrong when it came to raising animals.

Within two years, a horse he raised reached the finals of an international equestrian competition; beef he produced won gold at an international exhibition; and the pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks that had yet to mature on his ranch had already caught the attention of top companies around the world.

Shi Wen, now a leading livestock expert: This was the life.

Chapter 1

"Shi Wen, time to clock out."

"Shi Wen, aren't you leaving?"

Hearing the voices, Shi Wen looked up at the clock on the office wall.

It was exactly five thirty, quitting time at their company.

He let out a slightly irritated breath and said to the coworkers calling to him, "I'm going to work a little longer. You go on ahead."

His coworkers gave him sympathetic looks. "Did the boss make you work late again? We'll head out, then. See you tomorrow."

Shi Wen said, "See you tomorrow."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted to the sky outside the window.

The April weather was lovely. The setting sun seemed to melt into vast banks of brilliant evening clouds, while a breeze carrying the scent of spring blew through the window.

If I could leave this lousy job right now, I could enjoy the spring breeze and watch the sunset.

Just then, a soft ding from his computer pulled Shi Wen back.

He looked at the lower-right corner of the screen. An email had popped up, titled "Proposed Disposition of the Ranch Under Comrade Shi Jingbo's Name."

It was a personal email.

Shi Wen paused. He hadn't seen his grandfather's name in a long time.

His grandfather had been dead for nearly three years. Why was he getting an email now? What ranch?

Shi Wen clicked it.

The email opened on his computer. Its wording was very formal.

In essence, it said that his grandfather, Shi Jingbo, had owned a ranch and that Shi Wen met the requirements to inherit it this year. Did he wish to do so?

If he did, he could make an appointment through the official mini app to complete the relevant paperwork.

Instructions for making the appointment were attached below.

Were scam emails this personalized now?

Frowning, Shi Wen closed the email.

His parents had divorced when he was in high school, then each remarried and had more children. After that, he never went back. He stayed in his dorm during holidays while he was in college and in his rented apartment after graduation.

When his grandfather had fallen at the family home over New Year's and died three years ago, it was his aunt who told him.

As a grandchild, he wasn't in line to inherit anything, so he hadn't asked about the estate. He had only attended the funeral.

Three years had passed since the old man's death. Shi Wen's circumstances hadn't given him many chances to visit the grave; he had only burned paper offerings each New Year.

Why would they send the email to me?

Shi Wen went back to work, but he couldn't settle down, and his productivity dropped sharply.

After working for a while, he couldn't resist opening the email again.

He knew the mini app it mentioned well. It was J Province's official mini app, where he handled things like medical insurance and social security. He used it fairly often, and it was among the mini apps he kept handy in WeChat.

The instructions told him to make an appointment under a section called "Anomaly Management."

He took out his phone and followed the email's directions, tapping the hidden "More Services" option on the mini app's home page. He easily found "Anomaly Management."

That department really existed.

He followed the steps, and before long, a notification appeared: Your appointment has been booked. Please bring all required documents and arrive at the service center thirty minutes early to avoid missing your number.

Shi Wen stared at the notification for a long moment.

His appointment was at nine the next morning. He would find out whether the email was real when he went to the service center.

The government service center couldn't be fake, could it?

Even so, Shi Wen couldn't help taking his phone into the stairwell and calling his aunt.

She was even more surprised than he was. "What ranch? Your grandfather never ran a ranch. He helped someone raise cattle and sheep in J Province, but not for long. He came back for New Year's and had that accident. His employer was decent enough to give us some money."

His aunt continued, "Your dad and your cousins looked into everything. It was all settled. Did someone contact you about something?"

Shi Wen said, "No, I was just asking. Auntie, have you been well lately..."
