Yan Huaili patted Su Miaoyan's shoulder with a smile, "Little Su, after becoming a professor, there is indeed an assistant position available next to you. It seems that Xiao Xu has been eyeing you for a while."

Let's talk about how Xiao Xu persuaded Su Miaoyan to go to the cultural performance back then.

It turns out they wanted to get closer to each other.

He glanced at Xu Weilan, who gave a sly smile before continuing to feign pitifulness towards Su Miaoyan.

Su Miaoyan took a step back, leaving Xiao Xu's embrace, and instead held Xiao Xu's hands.

Zheng'er said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I promise you. Besides, didn't I already promise you before? What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Like an octopus, Xiao Xu hugged Su Miaoyan tightly again, "Waaaaah, it's not that I'm afraid you'll change your mind, it's that I'm afraid you'll forget me. After all, I'm just a nobody, Su Miaoyan, thank goodness you haven't forgotten me..."

Su Miaoyan: o(╥﹏╥)o

She's figured it out now.

Xiao Xu's timidity and cowardice that day were all an act!

Once we got to know each other, everyone started calling each other by our full names, not even Professor Su!

She patted Xiao Xu's head helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know. Don't worry, even if I forget someone else, I will never forget you."

"Okay, Professor Su!"

Xiao Xu immediately stood up and resumed his playful grin.

Everyone burst into laughter, and even Su Miaoyan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Outside, the sky is clear and the clouds are white, with red flags fluttering in the wind. Inside the research institute's laboratory, there is a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

But good times are always short-lived. Before long, everyone remembered their mission, stayed true to their original aspirations, and returned to their posts.

The days passed peacefully like this for a few days.

During this period, Su Miaoyan, together with Xiao Xu, continuously researched drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation technologies.

With the right methods and the help of Xiao Xu, Su Miaoyan quickly applied the improved drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation technologies to farmland planting.

Standing in the orchard and seeing the neat and uniform farmland not far away, Su Miaoyan and Xiao Xu both showed happy and satisfied expressions.

If you succeed, it means that everything you've done has been worthwhile.

It's now mid-August, the hottest time of the year, and summer crops like watermelons are receiving better irrigation and cultivation techniques.

Research institutes and others are eagerly anticipating the year's achievements.

Will the quality of the fruits and vegetables improve?

finally,

One morning, Yan Huaili suddenly summoned everyone for an emergency meeting.

Yan Huaili stood on the stage and addressed the crowd: "It's the height of summer now. Every year around this time, the research institute conducts a field investigation in the Lamagan Mountains. This year, our research institute performed exceptionally well. To better cultivate talent and protect our safety, we will be sending soldiers to train near the Lamagan Mountains."

"You'll escort us to the Lamagan Mountains, but the conditions will be harsh. Once we get there, we might have to stay in a courtyard in the town of Takuwa that we haven't lived in for a year. Are you all willing to go?!"

Su Miaoyan had already heard Lu Ting mention this matter, so she wasn't surprised, but she was genuinely happy.

After all, they'd heard that the area near the Lamagan Mountains was much cooler than their place.

During this period, she and Lu Ting had to take two or three showers a day because it was just too hot.

Yan Huaili waited for a while, and seeing that no one had any objections, he said, "Alright, it's settled then. We'll set off the day after tomorrow!"

"yes!"

Yan Huaili said sternly, "Alright, I will report this matter promptly. Now, everyone, return to your posts. Dismissed!"

"good!"

As he left the meeting room, Xiao Xu's face was beaming with joy.

This made Su Miaoyan curious.

"Xiao Xu, you've been at the research institute for several years now. Logically speaking, you should go every year. Why are you still so happy?"

Xiao Xu looked left and right, and seeing that no one was around except the two of them in the lab, she mysteriously pulled Su Miaoyan to a corner and whispered, "Going to Takuwa Town isn't as simple as you think! It's much more interesting there than the military region!"

Su Miaoyan's curiosity was piqued. She poked Xiao Xu's chubby little face and whispered, "Why? Can you tell me why?"

Xiao Xu winked at her: "Of course you can, but you can't tell anyone else, especially not Professor Yan Huaili!"

Su Miaoyan's eyes sparkled as she nodded. "Don't worry, I won't tell."

Xiao Xu chuckled, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "That's right, there's a black market in Takuwa town!"

"black market?!"

Su Miaoyan's eyes lit up even more!

It's interesting that the town of Takuwa actually has a black market.

Seeing that her expression was normal, and even a little happy, Xiao Xu immediately knew that the other party knew what the black market was and did not dislike it.

Xiao Xu nodded, "Yes, there is a black market in Takuwa. And because Xinjiang Province is located in a remote area, there are not many people watching it, so the black market there has always been free trade. As you know, we have a planned economy now, and everything is allocated according to need. You can't eat or buy things without ration coupons, but there, we can buy anything with money!"

"We don't have a black market here, but there are lots of fun and delicious things to eat on the black market. You'll see when you get there."

"Then... can we sell things there?"

Her sudden remark startled Xiao Xu.

After realizing what was happening, Xiao Xu lowered her voice and said, "Well, Su Miaoyan, I thought you would only think about going to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be even bolder than me, actually wanting to go there to sell things."

Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyan replied matter-of-factly, "Don't forget my identity when I first arrived at the military region."

Xiao Xu was taken aback.

Then I immediately remembered.

Yes, Su Miaoyan seems to be... a capitalist's daughter!

Capitalists, which one doesn't love money?

Capitalists, which one of them doesn't have money at home?

It's simply a matter of having more or less money.

But in business, one must be the top leader; otherwise, it's impossible to grow such a large enterprise.

Su Miaoyan had never done business before, but this time, she was going to do it.

She wanted to make plans for the future reform and opening up.

With the gold and silver mountains inside, as long as she can hold out until dawn, she will be a little rich woman!

She plans to do business, build connections, and find someone named "Gentle." She doesn't believe she won't find her true family in her lifetime.

Su Miaoyan took out a piece of top-quality Hetian jade from her bosom and handed it over, "Do you know what this is?"

Xiao Xu was stunned. If it weren't for the fact that it was during working hours, she would have screamed!

"This, isn't this Hetian jade? My God, the quality is so good! Su Miaoyan, where did you dig it up from? You're amazing!"
