Chapter 131 Adding fuel to the fire for the blockhead

He pointed at Su Yue and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't come up with a single rebuttal.

The wives of the soldiers around them wanted to laugh but dared not, their shoulders trembling as they tried to hold it in.

In the end, Deputy Director Qian could only angrily shake his hand, his face ashen, and slink away.

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha, the factory manager is awesome! Look at his face, it looks like he's swallowed a fly!"

"That felt so good! So satisfying!"

The military wives burst into laughter, their previous gloom from the mockery vanished, and they worked even harder.

After half a month of hard work, the originally hardened and whitish saline soil miraculously became soft and fertile, turning a healthy dark brown color.

Su Yue stood on the edge of the field and nodded in satisfaction.

She chose two medicinal herbs with extremely strong vitality as the first batch of plants to be planted: honeysuckle and wolfberry.

She taught everyone step by step how to soak seeds, cultivate seedlings, and transplant them, and how to control the plant spacing and row spacing, explaining each step clearly.

The military spouses studied with exceptional seriousness, as if they were handling some rare treasure.

Time passed day by day, and another month went by in the blink of an eye.

When Su Yue brought the military wives to the experimental field again, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

A miracle happened.

The once barren fields are now teeming with life.

Rows of neat wooden frames were covered with emerald green honeysuckle vines, dotted with dense yellow and white flower buds, which emitted a faint fragrance in the sea breeze.

On the other side, rows of goji berry trees, each about half a person's height, also sprouted tender green buds, growing vigorously and full of vitality.

This lush green landscape stands in stark contrast to the surrounding barren land still covered in frost, like an emerald embedded in the desert.

"Oh my god! He's alive! He's really alive!"

"Not only did it survive, it's also grown up so well!"

Sister Li rushed excitedly into the field, carefully touching the honeysuckle buds, her eyes reddening.

Sister-in-law Sun covered her mouth, unable to believe her eyes.

They actually managed to grow something in the saline-alkali land that everyone looked down upon!

This scene completely shocked the entire military compound.

Deputy Director Qian, having somehow gotten wind of the situation, came to the experimental field once again.

When he saw the lush greenery in front of him, he froze on the spot.

His mouth gaped open, his eyes widened like saucers, and his expression went from disbelief to shock, and then to complete blankness.

He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

Facts speak louder than words.

Su Yue really did grow "golden nuggets" on this wasteland!

He felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped countless times by an invisible hand.

The success of the experimental field gave everyone tremendous confidence.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Yue immediately announced to all the military wives:

"Sisters, the first product from our pharmaceutical factory is called 'Honeysuckle Throat-Clearing Tea'!"

The news elicited thunderous cheers from the military wives.

Just as the pharmaceutical factory and experimental fields were getting on track and everyone was immersed in joy and anticipation for the future, a figure with a mournful face rushed into Su Yue's courtyard like a small cannonball.

"Yueyue!"

As soon as Yang Yiyi entered the room, she threw herself at Su Yue, her eyes red and her face full of grievance and anger.

Su Yue stumbled from the impact and quickly steadied her.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Yang Yiyi sniffed, her voice trembling with tears.

"Who else could it be! I'm so angry at that blockhead Yun Mu!"

She sat down angrily, poured herself a large glass of water and gulped it down before she began her accusations.

"It's been so long since military training ended, but now he avoids me like the plague! I went to the training ground to find him today, and he pretended not to know me and ran away! Don't you think he's crazy?!"

Yang Yiyi became increasingly angry as she spoke, slamming her hand on the table.

"What's most infuriating is that he used to call me Xiao Yang, but now he calls me 'Comrade Yang Yiyi' all the time! Comrade! It makes my teeth ache just hearing it! What did I do to offend him? Why is he torturing me like this?"

Listening to her best friend's complaints and seeing her sullen face, Su Yue's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.

She slowly refilled Yang Yiyi's cup with water.

"He doesn't dislike you, he just has something to hide and is too proud to admit it."

Yang Yiyi was stunned.

"Has something to hide? What is he hiding?"

Su Yue pointed it out incisively.

“He’s the instructor, and you’re the trainee. He’s worried about what people will say. The more he avoids you, the more it shows he cares about you. If a man really doesn’t like you, he won’t bother avoiding you; he’ll just treat you like you’re invisible.”

Yang Yiyi blinked, thinking that it seemed to make some sense, but the grievance in her heart still hadn't subsided.

"Then... what should we do? Just wait like this? I can't stand this!"

Su Yue patted her hand reassuringly, then revealed a "malicious" smile.

"To deal with this kind of taciturn person, you have to use reverse psychology. Just you wait, I'll arrange a good show for you."

The next day, Su Yue deliberately took a detour to the training ground.

From afar, one could see Yun Mu meticulously wiping the gun in his hand alone in a corner.

In the sunlight, he wore a training vest, his bronze skin covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his arm muscles were smooth and powerful.

Su Yue walked over with her arms crossed, greeting him as if it were unintentional.

"Instructor Yun, you've been working hard on training lately."

Upon hearing the voice, Yun Mu looked up, saw it was Su Yue, nodded, and continued moving without stopping.

"Director Su."

His voice remained as flat as ever, devoid of any emotion.

Su Yue didn't mind and continued to "casually" bring it up again.

"By the way, Instructor Yun, there's something I wanted to tell you. Yiyi's family introduced her to a potential boyfriend, a talented young man from the neighboring division. I heard he's exceptionally good-looking and comes from a well-off family."

Yun Mu's hand, which was wiping the gun, suddenly stopped.

A tiny part almost slipped from his hand.

He quickly regained his composure, his face still expressionless, but Su Yue keenly caught something that flashed deep in his eyes.

He reassembled the parts before replying in a curt tone.

"This is a good thing. Comrade Yang Yiyi has reached the age where she should be thinking about her personal life."

Su Yue suppressed a laugh, but pretended to be very serious on the surface.

"Yes, I think it's a good idea too. That young man asked me to help him make an appointment with Yiyi to go to town to see a movie this weekend so they can get to know each other better."

She deliberately emphasized the words "watching a movie".

She could clearly see that Yun Mu's knuckles were white from gripping the gun barrel so tightly.

His back teeth seemed to be clenched.

Su Yue continued to add firewood.

"I've met that young man before. He's handsome and kind, and he and Yiyi look like a perfect match. I think this relationship has a good chance of succeeding."

Yun Mu didn't say anything more, but just kept his head down and continued to wipe his gun, with so much force that it seemed like he wanted to wipe off the metal plate.

Su Yue knew that the fish had taken the bait.

She turned and left in a cheerful mood.

Upon returning home, Su Yue immediately summoned Xiao Li, Gu Beichen's most astute bodyguard.
