Chapter 180 Are these wild?!
The spacious office was once again packed with people after the last time they collected wild ginseng.
Most of them are unfamiliar faces.
Liang Chuyi helped introduce the two parties: Professor Cao from Beijing Forestry University, Director Du from Longshan Forest Farm, and Deputy Director Wei from the Forestry Administration...
"Professor Cao."
"Director Du."
"Deputy Director Wei."
“…”
There are also several professors from the provincial forestry university.
Chen Jinyue greeted them politely one by one.
Professor Cao is in his seventies and has a head full of white hair, but he is very energetic.
He took a few steps forward and shook Chen Jinyue's hand enthusiastically. "I've heard of you. I'm glad you're willing to help save these endangered plants!"
Chen Jinyue bowed slightly, politely and respectfully, "You're too kind. I don't even know who it is, and I don't know if I can find it accurately."
Zhou Yichuan spoke at the right time, "Ms. Chen only got the name, so she worked overtime to look up information online, looking for the characteristics and pictures of the relevant plants. Even if she got it wrong, she was very thoughtful."
Professor Cao, “…”
Those present didn't know Zhou Yichuan's style, but they could hear the subtext.
The only thing given to the past is the plant name?
Or did you ask yourself to check it?
Professor Cao turned to look at Deputy Director Wei, Deputy Director Wei looked at Director Du, and Director Du looked at his assistant awkwardly.
"This is my fault. The forest farm used abbreviations or nicknames for these things, and I specifically asked them to use the full names. I'll pay attention to this next time. I'll compile a list right away."
If due to his negligence the plants he found were not accurate or something was missing, he would be guilty of a serious crime.
Go out quickly and make a phone call.
Chen Jinyue silently gave Zhou Yichuan a thumbs up in his heart, but he was still polite on the surface, "It's okay, I've sorted it out."
"Then I wonder what you have sorted out and found?" Professor Cao said as he looked around.
Chen Jinyue explained, "It's in the warehouse. I'll have someone move it in."
As soon as she hung up the phone, she quickly went to the warehouse.
Professor Cao was surprised and quickly stopped him.
"No, no, let's go over there and take a look! Stop moving around!"
“…”
The group left in a hurry.
Liang Chuyi was a little tired. She hadn't slept the whole night before. She was leaning against the desk and her reaction was a little slow, lagging behind everyone else by several steps.
When I stood up, my sleeve accidentally touched the documents on the table.
She paused slightly, turned back and picked it up carefully.
However, the next second, my sight was unconsciously drawn to the content above...
Chen Jinyue’s adoption information?
An example of a child abduction case in a provincial hospital in the early years?
Her fingers tightened unconsciously, Liang Chuyi's eyes were full of surprise and suspicion. Why was she investigating these things?
…
The warehouse is a bit messy.
In addition to the things that should be piled up in the pharmaceutical factory, the most conspicuous ones are two large bamboo baskets.
The basket contained some freshly dug saplings, which were sorted and tied into five bundles.
Like the fresh bok choy from the vegetable market, both its appearance and the way it is trimmed are very neat.
The moment Professor Cao saw the saplings, he quickly stepped forward and exclaimed, "They're actually a bunch of saplings! How come they're bundled like this?"
Chen Jinyue, “…”
Isn’t it normal to classify and bundle them?
Otherwise how can you tell which is which?
However, looking at Professor Cao like this, she remained silent rationally.
Several university professors nearby came over, marveled at the scene, and then carefully cut the rope.
One of them quietly touched Professor Cao, signaling him to calm down and not scare the little girl.
Professor Cao calmed down, but Director Du couldn't help but scold her, "You little girl, you really don't know the importance of things! These precious saplings are worth a fortune each, how could you waste them like this..."
"Are these saplings very expensive? Miss Chen has done her homework. Ordinary people would have no idea." Zhou Yichuan interrupted him.
Director Du was about to explain the details, but Deputy Director Wei took over and said, "Yes, we didn't explain many details clearly before. It was also our negligence."
Director Du looked here and there and understood.
This isn't an inquiry, it's dissatisfaction.
This young man from the Zhou family really can't stand any humiliation and is very protective of his own people.
He knew that they were in the wrong in this matter, and seeing the grand gesture today, his voice became gentler.
I didn't expect they thought he had a loud voice?
Forget it, let’s look at the saplings first!
"Come here, little girl, let me introduce it to you! This seedling is called the velvety honey locust. There are only four of them in the world. It's a first-class protected plant and is also known as the 'giant panda among plants.'"
Director Du softened his voice and explained to Chen Jinyue, "This one is the Putuo Carpinus, an extremely rare and endemic species. There's only one left in the wild. It's so precious that even giant pandas are ashamed of it! We have dedicated caretakers and are currently cultivating seedlings..."
At this point, he paused, looking at the sapling with a serious expression, "Why is yours different from the one we cultivated?"
Chen Jinyue looked at it carefully, but couldn't figure out what was different.
Then several professors gathered together and began to study it carefully.
These saplings look healthy and strong, as if they were artificially cultivated.
However, if you look closely, the appearance is relatively rough, the color is natural, and the taste is light...
"Are these wild?!"
Professor Cao looked up suddenly, looked at Chen Jinyue in surprise and asked.
Chen Jinyue nodded and said uncertainly, "Yes, don't you want wild ones?"
Professor Cao, “…”
Of course.
The main reason was that when I saw so many seedlings at the beginning, I subconsciously assumed that they were cultivated.
But then I thought, how could she possibly produce one?
A group of experts fell into silence and continued to confirm.
After confirming that every one of them was wild, a group of people looked at Chen Jinyue with serious expressions and various eyes.
Chen Jinyue had no idea what they were thinking and just waited anxiously.
Facing their ambiguous looks, she pulled the corners of her lips awkwardly, "Teachers, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly. It's okay if you don't want to..."
"Yes! Why not!"
Deputy Director Wei immediately stated his stance, "We're just confused. Why are there so many wild plants? Ten of each species?"
Did you work hard to collect these ten plants?
Or did you only dig up ten plants?
"And we found five species! We initially thought we could find one or two at best!" Giving so many names is just a matter of probability.
Director Du looked very excited. He had come across five of them, and he was given so much for each one!
Chen Jinyue suddenly understood as he listened to their words.
They think it’s too much!
Is this more?
She even controlled the quantity!
"I don't know if the pictures I found are inaccurate, or if these are all they have, so they only gave me these for now." Chen Jinyue chose his words carefully.
She didn't want to reveal the details, but there was indeed a transaction afterwards, so she was very vague.
Professor Cao and the others looked at Director Du again with dissatisfaction.
Director Du felt guilty and regretful, and immediately promised, "Send the information over right away! Send it in its entirety!"
Several other professors nearby understood the key point from this statement. "Miss Chen, are you suggesting that these five saplings were all found through the same source?"
"What does the other party do? How can they find so many easily? They are all wild!" Another young professor's eyes also lit up.
"These plants grow in different environments and are distributed across several provinces. How could they be found through just one channel?"
“That one channel can also be responsible for many areas!”
“…”
Several people started discussing unconsciously.
Then, as he was speaking, he looked at Chen Jinyue silently with a questioning look...
