"So what?"

When Lin Qianqian asked that question, the room suddenly fell silent, and Tang Dezhong also sensed that something was wrong.

Although Lin Qianqian appeared very calm, he felt a sense of suffocation and immediately fell silent.

Perhaps because Lin Qianqian usually appears lazy and amiable, everyone has forgotten that she is a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul level.

Killing them would be as easy as slapping them.

When did they become so bold, speaking to her without thinking?

The air in the restaurant seemed to have turned cold, and even Luo Zexuan, who was usually good at livening up the atmosphere, and Chu Zhou, who was "outrageous," dared not speak.

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was calm yet eerie, a deep voice came from the doorway.

"Therefore, the higher-ups decided to send all the Qionglin delicacies of level 20 and above over here and hand them over to Director Lin and Mr. Yunze for full handling."

The speaker was Chen Dinghai, who had just returned after receiving a phone call.

He didn't call Lin Qianqian by her name, but by her professional title, which clearly stated his position.

In an instant, the suffocating and chilling feeling in the room dissipated.

After saying this, Chen Dinghai strode in.

He first turned his head and gave Tang Dezhong a warning look before turning back to continue talking to Lin Qianqian.

"Another group of experts will be coming in a few days. They are going to consult with Director Lin and you about the cultivation and preservation of Qionglin delicacies. Also, some experts from the bureau will be transferred to another biological research institute. I need to arrange for people to accompany and protect both groups, so they called me."

The government has decided to hand over all Qionglin delicacies rated 20 or higher to Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze? And they're even transferring experts away and bringing in another group of people…

"Director Lin, what's your opinion on the arrival of the expert team?"

"You can arrange it as you see fit." Lin Qianqian got up and left.

"Everyone, please disperse!"

Ten minutes later, Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai, having left Qianqianju, walked side by side on the road to the base.

"Old Tang, I told you before, don't be too accommodating to those old experts. Know your place and figure out who's the most important!"

"I was too soft-hearted, thinking that they were also thinking of the national interest. I was a bit confused."

"It's true that you're soft-hearted; they give in after a little fuss. But you're not necessarily foolish. You only dare to push your luck because Director Lin is usually so easy to talk to. Don't forget, everyone in Yan who knows the situation respects Director Lin. It's not that she can't live without us; it's that we can't live without her!"

“I understand, and I will never make this mistake again. Old Chen, do you think Director Lin will hold a grudge about what happened today? If so, I would be willing to die for my country.”

"Probably not. The decision from above came at the right time, and you didn't say anything that could be taken back."

"That's good!" Tang Dezhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Dinghai suddenly stopped and said to Tang Dezhong very seriously, "Even if you say what you want to say today, you will not achieve your goal. Don't forget that it doesn't belong to Director Lin, it belongs to Mr. Yunze. You can tell from the name that we can come and go freely because of someone else's influence."

“I am very clear about this, and I understand it very well.”

"No, Old Tang, you don't understand. Mr. Yunze has already put up with the limit of tolerating us coming and going there. If there are other people, do you think he won't throw them out?"

"this……"

...

As for Lin Qianqian, since she's going to meet the expert team, she needs to make some preparations.

She pulled out the Qionglin Treasure Book and several Qionglin Food Planting Manuals, which she had asked Lu Nanzhe to collect, and she made several copies after receiving them.

The copy of the Qionglin Treasure Book that was confiscated was the one that Chuzhou had copied.

That's right, Chu Zhou finished making the Qionglin Manual the day before he traveled back in time.

However, the gray substance and the crystal pillar fragments in the Yunze space were not taken away.

I don't know if it's because it can't be seized or because it can't be divided, but in any case, they are the only two things that haven't been taxed yet.

Lin Qianqian specifically sought out Chu Zhou and gave him the Qionglin Treasure Book and the Planting Manual, asking him to organize the information.

On the one hand, it will be used after the expert team arrives; on the other hand, it will be recorded into a special system to create some robots that are proficient in planting.

When Qionglin delicacies are delivered, I will definitely plant them in my space.

With planting robots, planting, weeding, watering, temperature and humidity control are all taken care of, so you don't have to do everything yourself.

The question now is whether these things should be planted in her Cloud Void Realm, or in the Primordial Realm of Cloud Marsh, or in a separate cultivation space?

We'll discuss this issue with Yunze back in the space.

"Chuzhou, your task is urgent and time is tight. Focus on organizing the data first. The expert team will arrive soon. We'll work on the robot after the data is organized."

Having finished explaining everything, she turned to leave, but someone tugged at her sleeve.

Turning around, she saw Chu Zhou staring intently at her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qianqian asked, puzzled.

"Asking me to set up the planting robot is extra work, so it counts as overtime and I should be paid overtime, right?"

"This is not extra work. As employees who have signed contracts with the mall, I have the right to instruct you to do work. You cannot refuse at any time or place without a valid reason, so there is no such thing as overtime. Wages are paid each time you leave, I never delay payment, and there is no overtime pay."

Seeing that Chu Zhou was still staring at her, she asked helplessly, "What do you want?"

"Give me some of the high-grade Qionglin delicacies that are delivered later. I want to plant them in Kaka's Azure Eye. You know, the Azure Eye space containing green gems can be planted. Kaka loves Qionglin delicacies, so I need to stock up on more."

"Your salary will not be less."

Lin Qianqian pulled her clothes back irritably. "We'll pay them when the things are delivered. What's the rush?"

"According to the regulations, most of my share has to be handed over. What's left isn't even enough for my own consumption. I need to earn more to feed Kaka, so I can get the planting robot, but you have to give me some extra compensation."

He had already calculated how much Chu Zhou could get.

"Huh?" Lin Qianqian laughed in exasperation.

"You take my salary and hand it over, then try every means to get more from me. So you think I'm an easy target compared to the country, right?"

"No. Instead of applying to higher-ups, writing a bunch of reports, and coming up with a bunch of reasons, it's faster here. After all, as long as you agree, everything is easy to discuss. Besides, the materials are already in your hands, so it doesn't matter where you plant them!"

"Your abacus beads have all hit my face."

"Would you agree?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll give you some to plant, is that alright? Hurry up and get to work, don't delay the important matters."

Chu Zhou got what he wanted and was in a great mood.

Kaka loves Qionglin cuisine, so of course we have to satisfy her; we can't let the child suffer.

Over the next few days, Chu Zhou immersed himself in the laboratory, organizing data, writing code, programming, and modifying robots.

They were extremely busy, and Luo Zexuan delivered all three meals to them.
