Huaxia, the central conference room of Shanghai.
Outside the conference hall, fully armed soldiers stood with solemn faces, holding their breath and their expressions frozen like stone, without the slightest change.
Inside the conference hall, more than fifty men and women sat alternately, all of them Chinese. There were refined scholars, politicians who frequently appeared in the news, leading figures in the field of agricultural science, and military personnel with stars on their shoulders.
But no one relaxed; they all sat upright, waiting for the meeting to begin.
The accompanying meeting recorders were on high alert, all electronic devices were placed outside the meeting room, and the security checkpoint at the entrance of the venue was flashing red light from time to time—all of this fully demonstrated the importance of this meeting.
At the far end of the conference room table, under a huge projector, sat a dozen or so staff members wearing headphones and gesturing with their hands. The lights above the conference room quickly dimmed, and Fang Jianguo walked onto the podium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone here is already clear about the topic of our meeting today."
Fang Jianguo raised his head, his gaze sweeping over familiar faces in the crowd: Qin Haitao, Liu Mingji, Zhou Xiang…
Personnel from the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Emergency Management were equally serious.
"This meeting is classified as top secret. First, let me announce the meeting rules: All 71 attendees, including security personnel, must sign a confidentiality agreement. Meeting content must not be recorded. All attendees must not disclose the content of this meeting to anyone outside the meeting. During the meeting, no one may contact external personnel, and no one may attack each other during discussions. Due to the special nature of this meeting, please sign the confidentiality agreement now."
Fang Jianguo waved his hand, and soldiers immediately began distributing confidentiality agreements stamped with bright red seals. No one raised any objections, and everyone, including Fang Jianguo, silently signed the confidentiality agreement.
No one is foolish enough to ask about the consequences of violating the confidentiality agreement, just as everyone understands what "top secret" means.
As the confidentiality agreements were collected, Fang Jianguo's expression relaxed slightly, and he revealed a faint smile:
"Alright, then I won't waste any more time and will get straight to today's topic—'A meeting on the impact of Ms. Ren Honghe and special plants on the development of Chinese agriculture and the certainty of their strategic significance'."
Our previous informal conversations have established some facts. Everyone's time is valuable, but I still want to reiterate the key points.
He tapped the large screen behind him, and countless photos were displayed rapidly, all related to "Ren Honghe," some were screenshots from surveillance footage, and others were aerial photos taken by drones.
In the only clear frontal photo, the woman with shoulder-length red hair slightly raises her eyes, her golden eyes filled with indifference, and her retro red lips curl up, bringing out a touch of mature woman's charm.
She seemed to have discovered the hidden camera; the smile on her lips was one of disdain and mockery.
A low murmur of discussion arose in the conference room.
"Ren Honghe, female, 35 years old, born in 1987, family origin unknown. She first officially appeared in the public eye at 8:49 am on November 6, 2021, when she sold a sapphire worth 7 million to Chow Sang Sang Jewelry Store in Sichuan and Chongqing. Later, she injected 5 million yuan into the research institute under the name of Linong Seed Industry as a returned overseas Chinese."
After Ren Honghe acquired shares, he renamed the research institute 'Honghe Research Institute'—and based on the clues we currently have, this was likely planned in advance. This can be corroborated by Xu Milu, a stakeholder, because Ren Honghe had previously provided Xu Milu with fruit and seeds under the name 'Honghe Research Institute'.
Fang Jianguo clicked on the screen, and images of super fruits and vegetables such as Ping Pong Grapes, Giant Delicious Radishes, Giant Delicious Mushrooms, and Flaming Mandolin Peppers appeared one after another.
In a high-definition image that was specially released separately, the lush green ears of wheat and passion fruit leaves sway in the wind, and the passion fruit on them has already begun to ripen, which is simply unbelievable.
"The seedling period of wheat ear eggs is 20 days, the maturity period is 10 days, and the fruiting period can last for 60 days. The daily yield of a single plant can reach 30 eggs. Studies have shown that the nutritional value of its eggs is extremely high, even exceeding that of ordinary eggs by nearly twice."
Ping-pong grapes have a seedling period of 60 days, a ripening period of 90 days, and a yield of up to 60 kilograms per plant. Their fruit can whiten skin and lighten blemishes, and has extremely high medicinal value.
Ren Honghe publicly claimed that she had a research institute abroad, and that the special plant seeds she possessed came from this institute. However, we now have sufficient evidence to prove that the research institute she mentioned—”
Fang Jianguo's eyes were piercing:
"It's very likely that it doesn't exist at all!"
The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Agriculture have compared the super fruit and vegetable, proving that the wheat-ear passion fruit is very likely not a product of Earth! Therefore, we have reason to believe that Ren Honghe may have mastered some technology that transcends current scientific theories and practices on Earth!
The meeting room erupted in chatter again, this time not in whispers, but in loud, enthusiastic discussion.
Amidst the clamor of heated discussion, a veteran scientist with white hair and beard, and wise eyes, raised his hand:
"I suggest that the country immediately protect the Honghe Research Institute and increase its secrecy. If our guess is true, it will bring huge benefits to China!"
The middle-aged woman in military uniform with stars on her shoulders had a steady gaze and a firm tone:
"Our Ministry of Public Security is requesting a protection mission!"
