Zheng Wei was slightly taken aback, and then planned to refuse.
But Lin Tao waved his hand: "Now I'm your assistant, so just tell me what you need! There's no need to hold back. Don't be so polite to me, just treat me the same way I treat you! Don't treat me like your teacher anymore. You're the main person in charge now, so you need to act like one! This is a great opportunity for you to learn, so make the most of it! I also want to see how capable you really are!"
Zheng Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Then... Lin Tao, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's nothing! It's just what I should do!"
The two continued their examination, but Lu Yuan noticed from a distance that Lin Tao didn't seem to be in good condition. It seemed he hadn't slept well the night before, as he kept yawning and his eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing Lu Yuan standing outside the door watching, Xiao Shan's mother smiled and pulled Lu Yuan aside, whispering, "I didn't see them yesterday, but as soon as I saw them today, I felt that they were absolutely a match made in heaven! Look at their expressions, their admiration is off the charts!"
Lu Yuan grinned: "Mom, what are your plans?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? I specifically asked all the people from this farm to stay aside, just to give them some alone time! This will help them bond!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Mom, it seems you're still an expert!"
"Of course! It's just like a blind date. If you hit it off, the rest is easy. Although Lin Tao doesn't seem to have any feelings for Zheng Wei on the surface, he is actually willing to accept her in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here!"
"That's right, but this emotional hurdle is still hard to overcome! I wonder if Lin Tao will be able to let go of his ex-wife for Zheng Wei. After all, it's not so easy to forget a spouse you've known since childhood!"
"Yes! This needs to be done slowly! We can't rush it!"
"Sigh! This really can't be taken slowly. We have to get it done quickly! The lab's next project is about to start, and we need to be in research within a week at most! So, Mom, you still have to think of a solution!"
Xiao Shan's mother rubbed her hands together and pondered for a while: "Alright! Since I've already agreed, then leave this matter to me! Watch how I quickly and decisively resolve this mess!"
Hearing what Xiaoshan's mother said, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be startled: "Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, we should try to bring them together! But we'll have to use some tricks!"
"Oh? What methods?"
Xiaoshan's mother smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you now! You'll find out later! Don't worry, don't look at me like that. Don't you trust me?"
Lu Yuan quickly shook his head: "Of course not! Of course I trust you! Okay, then I'll leave them to you! I have other things to do, so I'll be going now!"
Xiaoshan's mother waved her hand and continued to stare at the two people in the farm.
Seeing how focused Xiaoshan's mother was, Lu Yuan had a bad feeling.
"Never mind! Maybe I'm just worrying unnecessarily!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan once again arrived at the border of District Nine.
Previously, Lu Yuan had entrusted the affairs here to Wang Mingming, and Lu Yuan had not paid much attention to them. Now, he was not very clear about how things were developing here.
However, when we drove to the border, we found that the land was full of lush green wheat fields and other crops. The area of several dozen acres looked quite decent.
Not far away, there are two dormitory buildings under construction, but the construction is progressing slowly, mainly because the supply of raw materials is not timely enough. This is unavoidable, since Lu Yuan's funds come in waves. When he has money, he allocates it to Wang Mingming, and when he runs out of money, he has to stop construction. This has led to the slow progress here. So far, only the foundation has been laid.
Lu Yuan parked the car on the side of the road and casually strolled around. He rarely found anyone slacking off. Many people wearing red armbands were patrolling the road, and if they found anything that was not up to standard, they would immediately pick up a small notebook and write it down.
Lu Yuan walked closer and looked at the place marked by the red sleeve. It was a wheat field, growing very well. The wheat had already sprouted ears, and there was a water treatment machine next to it that kept running, filtering the treated wastewater before spraying it into the field.
There was a small wooden sign in front of the field with information about the land, including what crops were planted, the area planted, the planting time, and records of pesticide spraying and weeding. At the bottom was the signature of each person in charge.
After seeing all this, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Once inside a makeshift office tent nearby, Wang Mingming was busy recording information from various documents.
Wang Mingming, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, now had a more defined and mature look on his face, which was originally a bit childish. He had grown a ring of downy hair around his mouth and his hair was shaved into a buzz cut, making him look very energetic.
Hearing a noise outside, Wang Mingming looked up and saw that it was Lu Yuan. A look of joy appeared on her face, and she quickly stood up.
"Brother Lu, you're back!"
Lu Yuan nodded and looked around inside: "Not bad! How's the situation here lately?"
Wang Mingming stated truthfully, "Brother Lu, there are currently thirty mu of wheat, twenty mu of dryland rice, ten mu of soybeans, two mu of eggplants, and two mu of potatoes here! They were all just planted!"
