After having their own house, Lu Yuan and Anna found living there much easier.
The neighbors next door are all well-known people in the area, so when they meet, they exchange brief greetings but don't have any in-depth conversations.
Lu Yuan's work in the laboratory has officially gotten on track. His improved wheat seed has been fully accepted by the higher authorities and is now in the production stage.
Many experimental fields are starting to breed seeds, because once a large number of seeds are obtained and tested, they can be promoted for centralized planting.
Lu Yuan didn't really care about this matter, but recently their laboratory did receive a new task.
Since they already have enough wheat, they are now discussing how to plant rice, which is an aquatic plant that must grow in water.
The issue of water resources immediately became a hot topic, and the authorities quickly organized personnel from their water resources department to replenish the water supply, putting the matter on the agenda.
Fortunately, the water resources department was very helpful and came up with a plan in less than half a month. Now, large-scale reconstruction is underway in the fields, and irrigation canals are being built to every farmland.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan's laboratory received a first-stage experimental task: to cultivate a new type of rice to adapt to the environment for future survival.
Pang Kuan sat at the main table in the conference room, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below: "Did you all hear that clearly? Our group must win this mission. No matter who it is, you must show me your strongest abilities, or you'll all be in deep trouble."
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person, only to find that Pang Kuan was staring at him. He just smiled slightly and didn't care.
Pang Kuanzhe, however, revealed a subtle and intriguing smile.
After the meeting, Pang Kuan walked to Lu Yuan's desk and gently tapped the documents on the table.
Seeing that it was Pang Kuan coming over, Lu Yuan looked up at him and asked, "Team Leader Pang, what can I do for you?"
Then, the other person patted his stomach and laughed, "What, as the team leader, can't I even have a chat with my team members?"
Lu Yuan just chuckled twice; the other party knew what he needed to know.
However, Pang Kuan didn't seem to care much. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Everyone knows that the wheat seeds you promoted last time earned you a house. And now that you've finally entered the laboratory, I plan to entrust this task to you. You will be the leader of a group!"
Lu Yuan frowned immediately after hearing this: "Didn't we agree to work together to overcome this? How did it become our side's problem again?"
"Oh dear, this is a tough task. We've been given several tasks from above, and we can't put all our people into this one project."
So someone has to be in charge of this. You have experience in this area, so I trust you with this. Okay, that's settled then. I'll make the arrangements for you later!
After saying that, the other person turned and left.
Lu Yuan frowned, knowing that the other party was up to no good.
However, he didn't care much, because he already had something in mind.
As expected, Lu Yuan guessed correctly. Just before the end of the workday, the other party assigned his team members to him.
There are five members in the group. Apart from Lu Yuan, the other four got in through connections.
These four people were notorious for being lazy throughout the entire lab; they basically had nothing worth showing off.
Aside from routine tasks like photocopying documents and running errands, they are completely incapable of handling other tasks, such as research and development projects or recording and reporting experimental data.
Pang Kuan was clearly trying to mess with him, but Lu Yuan didn't care at all because he had the dimensional space and Qiao Ya, who could easily solve all the research projects.
At the pre-get off work meeting, Lu Yuan brought the report to the conference room. Pang Kuan stood in front of the large screen, looked down, and then pointed at Lu Yuan, saying, "To improve our work efficiency, I plan to divide our group into three groups. The first group will tackle the problem of substandard wheat seed sowing from last time. The second group will take on the new round of tasks. The third group, led by Lu Yuan, will be mainly responsible for the product development of this rice!"
Then the people below applauded. Lu Yuan frowned slightly and stood up: "Okay, I will definitely live up to the arrangements of my superiors!"
Pang Kuan was not very satisfied with Lu Yuan's answer: "No, no, no, it's not that you've failed my arrangements, but that completing this mission is very important to you."
If you fail to complete this task, your group will be punished. The higher-ups are taking this mission very seriously. If you don't complete the third phase, your group will be disbanded. I thought I should tell you this in advance!
After listening, Lu Yuan sneered: "Was this your idea or the idea of the higher-ups? I've never heard of anyone being dismissed for failing to complete a task."
"The documents from above are right here. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. As assigned team members, go find your respective team leaders. Meeting adjourned!"
Pang Kuan grabbed the folder on the table, turned around and left.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the four people walking towards him, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
These men were notorious playboys in the group; in their eyes, life was basically just about eating, drinking, having fun, and wasting time.
Sure enough, the sleazy-looking man chewing gum walked up to Lu Yuan and threw the folder in his hand onto his desk: "This matter is entrusted to you. We're quite busy! You should know what to do, right?"
The other three people next to him also threw their documents in front of Lu Yuan.
"Yeah, you'd better figure it out yourself, otherwise you'll affect our performance and you'll regret it later!"
They put their arms around each other, laughed, and left.
The other group members in the meeting room all cast concerned glances at Lu Yuan.
However, they could only express their concern in their hearts. As for actual help, they were all struggling to make ends meet themselves, let alone care about others.
