"Hey hey, what's going on?"

A loud-mouthed woman jumped out.

Chen Changyuan squinted his eyes and took a look, wow!

Isn’t this Zhou Dazhu’s mother Wang Cuifen?

Look at her flowery cotton jacket, the stick in her hand, pointing at the stage and starting to curse.

"Bah! My Dazhu was right a long time ago. The crops you grow in the back hills are definitely not good! These seedlings must have been stolen, right?"

Wang Cuifen spoke in a hoarse voice, but her eyes were glimpsed at Zhang Qinghai with a sly look.

The audience suddenly exploded.

Chen Changyuan sneered. He knew this routine very well - since you can't defeat him openly, you try this, right?

"Aunt Cuifen, if you really think it was stolen, tell me whose house it was stolen from."

Chen Changyuan said slowly, "How about we call the police to check it out?"

Wang Cuifen was choked and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word.

The sound of high heels clicking came from far away.

"This Dendrobium officinale is of excellent quality, and the environmental control is absolutely professional. How can it be grown so well if it was stolen? What are you thinking!"

A clear female voice cut through the noise.

Everyone turned around and saw a girl in a beige woolen coat walking towards them. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes were full of affection, and she smelled of books.

Chen Changyuan's heart skipped a beat—An Caicai?

Why is she here?

An Caicai walked to the front of the stage and took out a small notebook: "I studied this in college. This growth is definitely the result of scientific management."

The audience was silent as they spoke in standard Mandarin mixed with professional terms.

Wang Cuifen didn't know where to put the stick in her hand.

Zhang Qinghai stepped forward and said, "Miss, you're right. I just checked, and the seedlings are indeed top quality."

"Humph! You two must have colluded with each other!"

Wang Cuifen got angry and pointed at An Caicai and yelled, "Who knows if she was hired as a shill?"

An Caicai frowned, but before she could say anything, Chen Changyuan had already jumped off the stage.

He rushed to Wang Cuifen in two steps and said, "Auntie, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll be angry! The whole village knows how I grow crops. Don't believe me? Go to the back mountain and take a look!"

These words were so powerful that Wang Cuifen shrank back.

People around were whispering.

"This kid spends all day in the mountains studying this."

"Not so good. Checking the seedlings with a flashlight in the middle of the night!"

"It seems that he is really good..."

Wang Cuifen's expression changed again and again. She glared at Chen Changyuan fiercely and ran away.

An Caicai leaned in to examine the Dendrobium officinale, stroking its leaves with her delicate fingers. "The temperature and humidity are perfectly controlled. The leaves are plump and shiny, and the root system is well-developed. How did you come up with the idea to plant it?"

Chen Changyuan looked at her serious expression and felt something in his heart.

This girl is not only beautiful, but also very knowledgeable when it comes to professional knowledge.

He was about to answer when several merchants from the audience came over impatiently.

"Little brother, how much are these seedlings? I want a hundred!"

"Our herbal medicine company also wants to cooperate, and the price is negotiable!"

Chen Changyuan took the opportunity to introduce in detail the cultivation process and medicinal value of the seedlings.

He spoke professionally and meticulously, and from time to time he could match An Caicai's professional terminology, which made the merchants present nod their heads repeatedly.

After the exhibition, Chen Changyuan took the initiative to find An Caicai who was packing up.

"Thank you so much today. If you hadn't shown up in time..."

"You are welcome."

An Caicai interrupted him with a smile, "I heard there was a medicinal material exchange meeting here, so I came here specially to take a look. I didn't expect you to be here too."

The two had a pleasant conversation, discussing everything from planting techniques to market prospects.

An Caicai's unique insights made Chen Changyuan's eyes light up.

Before I knew it, the sun had already set.

After seeing An Caicai off, Chen Changyuan looked at her departing back with a frown on his face.

He noticed the strange looks from those around him, especially from Wang Fugui and the Zhou family, whose eyes were filled with indescribable coldness.

At this moment, Lao Yuantou appeared out of nowhere and patted him on the shoulder: "Changyuan, you better be careful. The Zhou family has suffered such a great loss, they will definitely not let it go."

Chen Changyuan sneered: "I want to see what tricks they can come up with."

Having said that, he knew in his heart that what happened today was probably just the beginning.

Although An Caicai's appearance helped him a lot, it might also bring more trouble.

Especially that Zhou Dazhu, who has been making things difficult for him since he was a child. Now that he has lost face in front of so many people, I'm afraid he will get even worse.

As the sun sets, Chen Changyuan stands beside the medicinal materials base in the back mountain.

The golden leaves of Dendrobium officinale sparkle in the sun.

The air was filled with the aroma of soil and herbs. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Dong dong dong", the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

"Oh, Changyuan! Something bad has happened!"

Old Yuan came running over, sweating profusely. "Someone broke into the base in the middle of the night and destroyed all your dendrobiums!"

Chen Changyuan's face turned pale and he stood up quickly.

The medicinal herb base was in a mess, with uprooted herbs everywhere.

The soil was turned upside down and many medicinal herbs were trampled to pieces, just like a group of wild boars were having fun here.

He squatted down and picked up a broken Dendrobium, gently touching the broken roots with his fingers, his eyes filled with heartache.

"who?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

The old man wiped his sweat and whispered, "The villagers saw a few unfamiliar faces wandering around the foot of the mountain. It's probably Zhou Dazhu's gang of cronies who did it."

"Heh, Zhou Dazhu."

Chen Changyuan sneered, "You dare not say a word openly, but you play such despicable tricks behind the scenes."
