The second batch of vegetables mature
Then, Aluka turned his gaze to Lucas: "How's the background information on Zhong Ling going?"
Lucas pulled up another file: "There's been limited progress. Her public information has been censored, and only her first name is visible.
Moreover, I can't find the name of the school she attended since she was a child. I only know that after graduating from university, she worked in Shanghai City, but I don't know which company she worked for. Then she resigned and inherited the ancestral property and returned to Yunxi Village.
There's nothing remarkable about him, and no record of any special abilities or background. That in itself is very unusual."
"As expected." Aluka didn't seem surprised. "People related to the YX factor will never reveal any information, so we will use the name Zhong Ling for now.
But we must continue to dig deeper, mobilize resources, and not let go of even the slightest clue.”
"Understood." Lucas responded.
Aluka then returned to the point: "In this situation, we need to try a different approach, a more covert and long-lasting approach."
His eyes swept across the room. "We need a legal identity, one that allows us to stay in Shangjing for a long time and reasonably, and give us the opportunity to come into contact with relevant circles."
Lucas seemed to understand something: "You mean..."
"Kyoto University." Aluka's lips curled up slightly. "It's one of the top universities in the world, with a large number of international exchange students every year. This is a perfect entry point."
He looked at Bruce and said, "Arrange for Nightingale to attend Shangjing University as an exchange student. Choose a major... something related to biological science or modern agricultural technology. Forge a set of background information and academic resume for him."
Bruce quickly worked on the keyboard. "It can be done. It just so happens that his school's partnership opportunities are about to open for applications. We can make it work."
Lucas frowned. "Will it work? And what can you get into at university? People of Zhong Ling's level will be protected, right?"
"Nightingale's adaptability and disguise skills are still acceptable." Aluka said in a calm tone, "He doesn't need to contact Zhong Ling immediately.
His mission was, first, to establish a safe observation point;
Second, using the identity of a university student, collect any peripheral information that may be related to the 'YX Factor', special plants, or the Zhongling Project;
Third, and most importantly, remain absolutely patient and keep a low profile. This is a long game.”
"We need to know, besides Zhong Ling, are there any other key figures?"
A calculating look flashed in Aluka's eyes. "Besides, who says Zhong Ling must be completely isolated from the world? She needs to live, and there's always a chance she'll have some kind of connection with the outside world.
Universities, especially top universities, are often places where information converges and talent flows.”
Lucas stopped arguing. Although he still felt that this method was too slow, he understood Aluka's considerations.
Breaking in by force is definitely not an option, and infiltration in a roundabout way may be the only option at the moment.
"Okay, let's do it." Aluka made the final decision, "Bruce, implement it as soon as possible. Inform Nightingale and prepare a briefing on his new identity and mission."
"Okay, I'll go now." Bruce said and went out.
Zhao Wenxuan received new instructions. A concise command appeared on the screen: Go to Shangjing University as an exchange student from Luoli University and keep a low profile.
He quickly deleted all the records and made a phone call.
"Mom, I've been accepted to study abroad at Beijing University for a year." His voice was filled with the excitement and a hint of shyness typical of young people.
A surprised female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Really? Wenxuan! That's great! Go to Beijing University, the best school in China! Your dad's company just happens to have a long-term project there, and he and I can come visit you often!"
"Well, my major is biological science, which is very consistent with my direction." Zhao Wenxuan responded in a relaxed tone, but his eyes fell calmly on the street outside the window.
On Monday, Zhao Wenxuan arrived at Shangjing University, dragging his suitcase and wearing casual clothes.
He found the registration office for international students and received his student card and dormitory key.
Surrounded by young faces from all over the world, excitedly discussing the new life that is about to begin.
Zhao Wenxuan had a kind smile on his face and blended in perfectly.
At the same time, the planting base located on the outskirts of Shangjing City welcomed the maturity of the second batch of crops.
Compared with the first time, the vegetables this time are more colorful, and you can smell the fragrance of the vegetables just by looking down.
The staff responsible for harvesting and testing all wore special masks and gloves and moved very carefully.
Qiao Jianmin came to the base in person. When he looked at the data on the preliminary test report, he was no longer shocked, but felt an almost numb excitement.
"Miss Zhong," he said, finding Zhong Ling standing at the edge of the field with her hands behind her back, watching the last row of crops being gathered. "The quality of this batch... seems to be much better than the last batch."
Zhong Ling nodded calmly, her eyes never leaving the juicy vegetables. She said casually, "Well, the soil has improved, so it will naturally get better. It's time to raise the price. This time, five hundred yuan per kilo."
"Five...five hundred?" Even though he was mentally prepared, Qiao Jianmin couldn't help but twitch his lips. This price was far beyond his understanding of the value of "vegetables."
But he knew the true value of these items, as well as the temper of the man before him, and immediately nodded in response, "No problem! Absolutely no problem! We'll arrange transportation and settlement right away, and ensure the funds are in your account as soon as possible!"
In the past, Qiao Jianmin would never have believed it and would never have imagined that he would speak to a young woman in this way.
Soon, the latest batch of "specially supplied vegetables" was secretly shipped away, and a huge amount of money appeared in Zhong Ling's personal account.
Looking at the long string of numbers, Zhong Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, now I have no worries about my "vacation" funds. I can even say it's quite ample."
Staying at the base and the yard all the time, while quiet, can be a bit monotonous. I've saved enough money, so it's time to travel.
She took out her cell phone and dialed Qiao Jianmin's number.
"Director Qiao," Zhong Ling said immediately after the call was connected. "There's nothing else I need to watch over here at the base for now. It'll take some time to plant the next batch of seeds. I'm going to go out for a walk and relax."
Qiao Jianmin on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Going out for a walk? Miss Zhong, where are you planning to go? How long will you be gone? Do you need us to arrange the itinerary and security?"
A series of questions came out of his mouth, because this person's movements were too important.
"No need to make any arrangements." Zhong Ling said in a relaxed tone, "Just wander around and see the scenery. I don't know when I'll be back. If there's anything urgent at the base, you can contact me."
