No.1 Coolie, holding that object, approached, "Boss, I... have studied... a fossil..."
His Sancha River dialect was indeed poor, but he was afraid to converse with the boss in Japanese, so his sentence was not only halting but also somewhat failed to convey the intended meaning.
Yan Fei was somewhat surprised, "This is a fossil? Isn't this amber?"
No.1 Coolie struggled to understand that he might have spoken incorrectly. He became afraid immediately, and his already stumbling Sancha River dialect became even more incoherent.
Fortunately, Yan Fei was in a good mood at the moment—the actions of both his deskmate and Officer Xu had pleased him. His deskmate's behavior made him feel that his help truly had changed a person. As for Officer Xu, although Yan Fei's original intention was not to help this officer in such a manner, Officer Xu's willingness to use his family's resources to help Yan Fei in his time of need made Yan Fei think that Officer Xu was indeed righteous.
