Upon hearing this, Chen Jingyan was very intrigued and quickly asked, "Is it a state-owned or private enterprise?"

Old Xu said, "I'm not too sure about that. Anyway, I'll be retiring soon as I become the head of the forest farm."

"Grandpa, could you please keep an eye out for the policies from above? I've been running the farm for over a year now, so I have some experience. If I could apply that experience to our black soil and help us achieve a bumper harvest, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Old Xu was overjoyed to hear this.

"That's great! Our Jingya didn't waste her university education; she knows how to give back to her hometown!"

Shen Jingyan knew that the tide of the times was about to sweep in, and she was filled with excitement, determined to become a trendsetter of the times.

On the way back, the two looked at the familiar forest farm and were deeply moved by the tremendous changes that had taken place in just a few years.

“Jingya, you’re not that old, but you have quite the ambition.”

Gu Zhiyun joked, "Besides you, I've never heard of anyone who would be happy to farm after graduating from university."

Shen Jingyan was full of hope for the future: "Brother Yun, you do your scientific research, and I'll develop my black soil. Our division of labor is so clear."

Gu Zhiyun took her hand and kissed her palm.

Then, he led her to a big tree.

Next to the big tree was a steep slope. Gu Zhiyun asked, "Jingya, does this place look familiar?"

Shen Jingyan looked around, blinked, and said, "This looks familiar. This isn't the first time we've done this..."

Before she could finish speaking, she blushed.

Her rosy cheeks made her eyes appear even clearer and more expressive.

Gu Zhiyun cupped her cheeks, lowered his head and kissed her, while finishing what she was saying for her.

"This is where we first kissed."

Shen Jingyan corrected her earnestly, "That was an accident, wasn't it? You fell into a snowdrift and twisted your ankle. When I pulled you up, you lost your balance, and we tumbled down the steep slope..."

Gu Zhiyun readily admitted, "It started as an accident, but I did it on purpose later."

Shen Jingyan thought back carefully and realized that the two of them had indeed kissed for a long time. In the end, she couldn't breathe and pushed Gu Zhiyun away!

"You..."

She almost blurted out "a man who's secretly passionate," a term that doesn't even exist in this day and age.

After thinking for a moment, she changed her words and said, "You hypocritical scoundrel!"

He appeared aloof and distant at first, but took advantage of the accident to deliberately take advantage of her!

What else could it be but a repressed pervert?

Gu Zhiyun smiled and kissed her red lips again.

They had many wonderful memories under this tree. He pressed his young wife against the tree wall and lingered there for a long time.

On their way back to the Shen family home, they passed the gate of the forest farm again. Grandma Xu came over and waved to them, saying:

"Jingya, Xiao Gu, you've come at the right time! I was just about to look for you! Your parents called, and it sounds like it's urgent. Come answer the phone!"

Upon hearing that it was an urgent matter, Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun quickly went to the gatehouse.

When I answered the phone, it was Fang Ru's anxious voice:

"Zhiyun, Jingya, you two hurry up and buy tickets and come back! Professor Xu and Professor Tang are in trouble!"

Upon hearing the news, the two were struck dumb, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

"Mom, what happened?"

"When Jiang Shu refused to sign your graduate admission letter, Professor Tang got into an argument with him. During the argument, Professor Tang revealed that Jiang Shu had plagiarized his thesis. Jiang Shu got angry and said that Professor Tang had no evidence and that it was defamation that infringed on his right to reputation. He then made a phone call to the National Academy of Space Sciences!"

As soon as the people from the Aerospace Academy arrived, they took Professor Tang away for investigation! I know those people; during those special years, they were very good at persecuting people. Jiang Shu and Zhou Lianjie have a close relationship, so Professor Tang is definitely going to suffer! Professor Xu was very anxious when he found out, and went to the Aerospace Academy to argue his case. As a result, he got so agitated that he suffered a brain hemorrhage and had to be taken away by ambulance!

The seriousness of the situation had exceeded their expectations. They hung up the phone and, without a moment's delay, immediately boarded a large truck and headed straight for Jichang Railway Station.

In this era, there was no high-speed rail. The earliest ordinary green train would not arrive in the capital until the early hours of the morning.

While waiting for the car, both of them were extremely anxious.

Nevertheless, Gu Zhiyun calmly analyzed the entire incident.

The root of this matter lies in his conflict with Jiang Shu. To resolve this issue, he must step forward.

There are only two options: one is to humbly apologize to Jiang Shu and beg him to let Professor Tang off the hook, but Gu Zhiyun would not do such a thing that would damage his character, even if he were tied to the stake.

The second method is to find evidence of Jiang Shu's plagiarism, confirm his academic fraud, and clear Professor Tang's name.

"Jingya, when we get back to the capital, you go to the hospital to see Grandpa first, and I'll go find Liang Junsheng."

Only if Liang Junsheng, the party involved, comes forward and personally identifies the individual, along with the experimental report kept by Old Man Xu, can the evidence be considered sufficient.

At 2 a.m., the two arrived at the Capital Hospital, exhausted from their journey.

Old Man Xu is still in critical condition. Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian, Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin, Fei Fei, and even Xu Yatong have all come.

She had given birth to her child less than four months ago, and the baby was at a stage where he needed to be with his mother. However, she was too worried about her grandfather's condition, so she entrusted the baby to Xue Hongmei and insisted on going to the hospital with her family.

After a whole night of agonizing waiting, at 7 a.m., Old Xu was finally out of danger.
